Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 354: 350: Ancient Species Revived?

Chapter 354 -350: Ancient Species Revived?

Under the blessing of sunlight, the insect control grass easily breached the defense of the Nine-Heart Flower Demon and ruthlessly consumed its flesh and blood. Despite the demon’s attempt to deploy a force field for resistance, the insect inside it that radiated heat like a small sun had left it powerless.

The insect system naturally restrained the plant system, not to mention a mythical insect lineage.

Finally, when the Seven-Color Tendrils of the insect control grass sprouted from the top of the Nine-Heart Flower Demon’s head, it stopped struggling. One by one, its multi-colored petals fell, gradually losing its vitality.

“Boss, I did it!”

The insect control grass was somewhat exhilarated, for it had slain a King-level creature completely on its own for the first time.

“It’s just newly evolved, but after all, it’s a King creature. Well done.”

Bai Qi gave a thumbs-up to the insect control grass, but he wasn’t really surprised.

Although the Nine-Heart Flower Demon was King-level, the insect control grass was a rare dual Lord bloodline cohabitat, in which even the bloodline of a mythical creature like the Sun Beetle was present. A mere King-level creature might not be able to surpass it that much.

Plus, all abilities showcased by the Nine-Heart Flower Demon were targeted by the insect control grass, so the victory seemed justifiable.

However, after all, the creature had been defeated by one that was weaker than it, and deserving of praise indeed.

“See if there are any resources around. Delta, give a hand.”

Bai Qi patted Delta, signaling him to help, and then operated the mission board for a while.

“I’ve uploaded the mission report. You can claim the rewards once you get back.”

Bai Qi waved the mission board at everyone and said, “Recently, the ferocious beasts are getting violent. So it’s better not to risk coming to such dangerous places.”

Wang Yun and Li Shi looked at each other and unconsciously glanced at the insect control grass and Delta, who were dealing with the Nine-Heart Flower Demon.

Why did it sound so strange coming from your mouth?

“Bai Qi, are you not going back to Gusu City?”

Li Shi awkwardly glanced at Bai Qi and asked timidly.

“I still have some missions to do along the way, so I’m not in a hurry to go back.”

Bai Qi looked at the mission board, summoned Schuck, and began to plan the next route.

“Ah, you’re so adept, Bai Qi. Those ferocious beasts must be nothing for you.”

At these words, Li Shi nodded, standing in admiration of Bai Qi while Wu Yi looked more and more distorted upon seeing Li Shi’s behaviour.

That guy is stealing the limelight again.

“Goddess of Light Butterfly, let’s go…”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yi immediately wanted to prove himself, but he found that his Goddess of Light Butterfly had wandered off to the insect control grass and was eagerly spinning around it.

The insect control grass, being of mythical lineage, was naturally friendly and intimidating to other insects. Given that the Goddess of Light Butterfly was a creature attracted to light, the insect control grass, still radiating sunlight, was nothing short of a divine incarnation to it.

“Goddess of Light Butterfly, can’t you have some dignity!”

Seeing this, Wu Yi felt increasingly annoyed. But upon seeing the almost dismantled Nine-Heart Flower Demon, he silently endured it.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not deceive the young and poor!

As Delta became more adept at extracting resources with his learning of biology, he soon returned to Bai Qi with a seed emitting brilliant light.

“Nine Orifices Heart? It’s a pity it hasn’t matured, otherwise the Bright Orifice Elixir made from it could even work for legends.”

Li Shi looked at the Nine Orifices Heart in Bai Qi’s hand and remarked regretfully.

“Bright Orifice Elixir? What is that?”

Bai Qi looked at Li Shi confusedly, while Schuck quickly found the information and said, ‘Bright Orifice Elixir, a spirit strength boosting elixir that can temporarily enhance a Beast Master’s spirit power, thereby enhancing their talent effect.”

“I see…”

Bai Qi nodded. An elixir that could enhance the effect of talent was indeed a good thing. But it was of no use to him.

After all, he had tried various elixirs and dietary supplements, none of which had any effect on the Evolution Egg except for restoring spirit power.

On the contrary, it would be better used to enhance pets.

With this in mind, Bai Qi threw the Nine Orifices Heart into the hands of the insect control grass. The material atlas immediately displayed its specific data.

[Material Name]: nine Orifices Heart (Immature)

[Material Level]: Epic

[Material Introduction]: The essence of the Nine-Heart Flower Demon, able to control enemy movements through it. If the maturity time is too short, the effect will be greatly compromised.

[Material Effect]: Acquirable: Nine-Heart Bewitching (High-stage 55%), Spirit Enhancement (Enhancement 34%), Unknown (11%).

…

Compared to mythical resources, epic resources had fewer options for acquisition, but even this fewer options could make Bai Qi uncomfortable.

“Damn, it worked too fast!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt a sudden pain in his heart. It was already epic while still immature. If it had matured, wouldn’t it have a significant chance to turn into mythical resources?

“Such a great loss, such a great loss!”

Seeing the distraught Bai Qi, Wu Yi felt confused but oddly enough, his mood improved considerably.

Seeing this guy stumble made the situation worth it.

Seeing this, Li Shi couldn’t help but laugh, “Bai Qi, do you really want the Nine Orifices Heart? I can keep an eye out for you.”

Bai Qi looked at Li Shi, surprised.

“Li Shi’s father is the heir of a renowned pharmaceutical family in the Federation, and they have a wide variety of unique plants. Bai Qi, if you’re looking for the Nine Orifices Heart, Li Shi’s family is the most likely source,”

Wang Yun promptly explained, and Bai Qi finally understood.

No wonder every time they ran into Li Shi, he was searching for plant-attribute Ferocious Beasts. Turned out he was collecting materials for elixirs.

“Thanks, but it’s not an urgent matter. I’ll ask for your help later.”

Bai Qi pocketed the Nine Orifices Heart and swiftly climbed onto Delta, saying, “I have to continue doing my tasks, so I’m leaving first.”

With that, Delta morphed into the Wind God Winged Dragon and disappeared into the sky.

“So, should we return first?”

Wu Yi pulled on the somewhat reluctant Goddess of Light Butterfly, and looked at Li Shi beside him, who was similarly disappointed, saying.

“Let’s go back. We are all still at low level, so for now, we should avoid venturing too far from the cities,”

Wang Yun nodded and said to Li Shi, “Li Shi, we’re closer to Lingxi City from here. How about visiting my place?”

“I appreciate the offer.”

Li Shi didn’t decline. Wu Yi wanted to join, but Wang Yun didn’t give him the chance. She pulled Li Shi and directly set off towards Lingxi City.

“Damn.”

Seeing this, Wu Yi couldn’t help swearing under his breath, wanting to stop them but not knowing how to voice it out. He just walked back the way they’d come, looking dejected.

Chirp?

The Goddess of Light Butterfly finally noticed her Beast Master was acting oddly and curiously approached him, only to be knocked on the head by Wu Yi.

“We’re going back to special train, or who knows if you’ll run off with some unknown wild bugs next time.”

…

At the Secret Realm Base.

After separating from Wu Yi and the others, Bai Qi returned directly to the Secret Realm Base and gave the Nine Orifices Heart to the insect grass.

It was only an Epic-level Material, but the option for “Unknown” appeared on it.

According to his recent research on the Material Atlas, this indicated there was a certain probability that the Nine-Heart Begonia could fuse and upgrade with the insect grass’ already known skills.

The skills the insect grass currently had were all high-level skills, so if the unknown probability was triggered, it would definitely be a super-level skill.

“I wonder what skill it will gain.”

Bai Qi looked at the Platinum Egg, which the insect grass had transformed into, a bit expectantly. Once he confirmed it wouldn’t awaken anytime soon, he proceeded to the lab to check the research progress of the Death Lock.

“Yu, how is the analysis going?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic human-size projected figure, which looked exactly like Bai Qi, appeared beside him, saying, “This metal does not match any known metals discovered by the Federation. It should be a specially made alloy. We’ve only managed to analyze 0.12%.”

“Only that much, huh.”

Bai Qi knitted his eyebrows slightly. The special metal that could bear the Power of Death was indeed not easy to crack.

“Consider this a long-term project and resume the progress of the other research projects.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Yu nodded and sent Bai Qi’s command to the Jiuding System, restarting the previously suspended sub-projects.

“There’s another thing. Your parents sent you a message saying they’ll be back in Gusu City in a few days. They ask you not to wander around.”

“Mom and Dad are coming back? Does that mean the Ancient Species have been successfully revived?”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up and he said, “Yu, keep an eye on the recent news. Let me know if there’s any news related to the Ancient Species.”

“All right.”

Yu agreed, and Bai Qi put aside what he was working on and rushed to the Biological Zone.

He had almost forgotten that he had an egg of the Ancient Species here. It had been soaking in the No. 5 Compound for so long, he had no idea of its progress.

Bai Qi ran to the Biological Zone, called for Delta, who was checking on the new compound data, and they started reviewing the data for the Fossil Egg together.

Compared to before, the color of the Fossil Egg was more vibrant. Even through the glass, they could feel the vitality the Fossil Egg was emitting. The data displayed on the nearby instrument further proved Bai Qi’s guess.

“Delta, can this egg be revived?”

Blub blub.

(From the perspective of vitality, it should be possible. But we’re encountering an issue.)

“A problem? What problem?”

Delta gestured to the Fossil Egg soaking in the No. 5 Compound, his facial expression showing a hint of helplessness.

(The egg currently cannot leave the No. 5 Compound, or it would rapidly lose vitality. Therefore, I believe it’s better to not hastily attempt to revive it.)

“I see…then we’ll wait for Mom and Dad to return and ask them.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Even though the Jiuli Group would probably launch the Ancient Species soon, he wasn’t one to leave things half-done. Since he’d picked up this egg, he needed to see this through.

“However, not being able to leave the No. 5 Compound is a bit troublesome. We can’t keep it on a drip all the time.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, a bright idea suddenly flashing through his mind.

Indeed, having it attached to a drip was somewhat inappropriate, but what if they replaced it with Rune Mechanical Armor?
