Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 529: Chapter 524: The Nest of the Black Dragon

The Underworld was unexpectedly vast, although surrounded by rock walls on all sides, Bai Qi’s sightline was not disturbed in the slightest, thanks to the luminous plants around him.

However, they had been walking for quite a while without sighting a single creature.

Arooo…

(The way ahead appears safe, as per my thorough perception…)

Beta, with his bruised nose and a swollen face, returned from scouting ahead and dutifully relayed the situation to Bai Qi.

“Hmm, keep it up.”

Bai Qi rubbed his somewhat painful jaw even after Nicholas healed it and reluctantly let Beta go.

Being hit by a Six-Stage King, anyone other than him with a far superior body strength than ordinary people would have probably died on the spot.

However, if it hadn’t been for the fight with the beast soul warrior in the Ghost Tribe, he wouldn’t have known how strong he was now.

“Perhaps I should find some attached skills for the pets to try later, so I can get involved personally.”

Bai Qi glanced at Jerry. Generally speaking, apart from some equipment-system pets, most creatures that can master attached skills are from the Soul Race. Jerry himself had the Heart of Death God, so he should be able to master them quickly.

However, considering the uniqueness of the Evolution Egg, he seemed not necessarily limited. As long as the materials were in place, he could simply get each pet one.

“Right, let’s try it when we get back.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly only to find that Nicholas, who was walking up front, had suddenly stopped.

“What happened?”

Bai Qi was curious and asked.

“I seem to smell the presence of the Dragon Race.”

Nicholas sniffed the air, but still couldn’t confirm, so he transformed back into his dragon form to perceive further.

“Dragon Race? Could it be that the Black Dragon is following us?”

Bai Qi’s heart sank when he heard this. The Black Dragon’s Earth Guardian, although it seemed far-fetched, Bai Qi would not be surprised if it suddenly showed up.

“It shouldn’t be. This aura isn’t as violent. Perhaps it’s from a dragon-blooded.”

Nicholas shook his head, retracted his aura, and transformed back into his human form, “But still, it’s better to be cautious.”

Saying that, Nicholas marked a strange luminous plant nearby with a Jade Imprint, and then resumed moving forward.

And this operation was performed countless times by Nicholas from the start of their journey.

“Because of previous failures, he has become exceptionally cautious.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly when he saw this. Although the process was a bit stimulating, Nicholas’s growth was surprisingly significant.

He had become increasingly reliable.

In this way, they moved forward at a leisurely pace, occasionally came across some energy-rich special materials, but most were at best of epic level, and their quality was quite ordinary. Bai Qi didn’t even consider using them for the Earth Armor Swordsman.

After all, after witnessing the special capability that Golden Armor Sword Rider had obtained from the Devouring Gold, Bai Qi had lost interest in ordinary earth element materials.

At the very least, they needed to have some unique attributes.

Purr…

(Master, I’ve detected an increase in the thickness of the Earth Elemental energy ahead!)

Arooo…

(I’ve also detected this. Plus, there’s a presence from the Dragon Race!)

Jie Ta and Beta reported their findings to Bai Qi at the same time. After exchanging a glance, they harshly turned their heads away.

This pair was really not getting along.

Bai Qi shook his head helplessly at this sight. After Jie Ta evolved into Water and Fire Child, his mentality matured a bit, and he was not as prone to emotional instability as before.

But correspondingly, his relationship with Beta, who had enjoyed gnawing at his head as ice cream when he was bored, had become worse.

“Indeed, there is a Dragon Race aura. It’s the same as the one I sensed earlier, but it’s very faint. It could be some young dragons or dragon-blooded beings.”

Nicholas nodded, “And I also detected strong fluctuations of Earth Elemental energy there. Perhaps there are some things that Bai Qi you want.”

“Really?”

Bai Qi’s eyes brightened, and Alpha next to him also appeared quite eager.

If the Gravity Amplification could be upgraded, might he be able to progress further?

With high expectations, Bai Qi and his group quickened their pace. However, as they turned a corner, Nicholas suddenly stopped, releasing energy to isolate their aura from the rest.

“There is a human presence ahead.”

Nicholas activated the Jade Imprint and quickly surveyed the scenes beyond the corner. Bai Qi quickly caught on and said, “Humans and Dragon Beasts? Could it be Beast Soul Warriors from some tribal group?”

Although they had delved over a thousand kilometers underground, they were still in the territory of the tribe. If there were humans here, they must definitely be Beast Soul Warriors.

As for the possibility of it being human servants who were still being exploited, under such intense gravity, humans who were still in the stage of being exploited simply could not withstand the burden on their spirit and body.

But why would they come underground? Could it be another Ferocious Beast Tribe living underground?

Through the images transmitted by the Jade Imprint, Bai Qi was finally able to see the humans.

Tall, but not clumsy.

Robust, but not extravagant.

Despite most of their bodies being covered by black clothing, Bai Qi still could detect the tremendous power they possessed.

What interested Bai Qi the most, though, was the distinctive black dragon head mark on the back of their hands.

“The Black Dragon Tribe…I really did run into them~”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue upon seeing this. He had made it all the way underground, only to still bump into the Black Dragon Tribe.

Well, thinking about it, the black dragon was the guardian of the Earth, and his beast soul warriors possessing the ability to operate underground was not out of expectation.

“Nicholas, have you detected the presence of the black dragon?”

Bai Qi looked toward Nicholas, whispering hisquestion.

“If the black dragon were here, we should have been discovered by now.”

Nicholas shook his head, saying, “But I can sense the presence of a legendary dragon race here, which is very similar to the black dragon.”

“A legendary dragon with a similar aura, a descendant of that black dragon?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the resources that were nearly in sight, feeling some hesitation.

Upon reaching this point, even he could clearly feel the rich earth element energy in the air. There was a high probability of finding legendary resources ahead.

However, considering that this might be the black dragon’s lair, what he should probably do was hurry up and escape.

Just as Bai Qi was in a dilemma, a yellow figure suddenly dropped from the void, raising its head in some bewilderment to ask, “Hm? Where is this? Wasn’t I sleeping in the Time Secret Realm?”

Though the voice was not loud, it was extremely clear in this cave world without the shielding of Nicholas.

“Damn, Cowskin Snake, how did you get out again!”

Seeing the unobstructed appearance of the Cowskin Snake at the corner, Bai Qi’s forehead veins jumped.

Since obtaining the Time Secret Realm, this fellow had been much more well-behaved, so Bai Qi gradually ignored him.

But now, at such a crucial moment, this fellow actually ran out again!

Seeing Bai Qi’s angry look, the Cowskin Snake became even more confused, but upon detecting the numerous hostile gazes from the side, it immediately shuddered and darted to Nicholas’s neck.

“Bai Qi, why did you come to such a dangerous place? Are you trying to get me killed?”

“You dare to pretend to be the victim first?”

Bai Qi’s face gradually twisted. If it weren’t for the sense of many presences approaching, he might have stewed this guy on the spot.

“Bai Qi, be careful, they’re coming.”

Nicholas warned Bai Qi, then disappeared instantly from the spot. When he reappeared, he was in front of a giant black dragon.

Of course, it was not the semi-god black dragon they had encountered before.

The size of this one was significantly smaller, even smaller than Nicholas, and its aura was relatively weak.

But be it the look or the aura, it was exactly like that of the semi-god black dragon.

“Is it the offspring of that black dragon?”

Bai Qi got the idea, then his attention was drawn to the beast soul warriors who were following him.

Compared to the beast soul warriors of the Ghost Wolf Tribe, these had a clearly more formidable aura, with one person even giving Bai Qi the illusion of facing a legend.

“A Federation Beast Master? Can’t believe you found this place, guess we can’t turn you into our servant.”

The leading man walked in front of all the beast soul warriors, and his cold gaze swept over Bai Qi. Suddenly, he ordered, “Kill them all!”

Then, the man led the charge, and the other beast soul warriors moved in unison without a word.

In a flash, a dozen black dragon illusions floated over the heads of these Black Dragon Tribe beast soul warriors. As for the leader, there was a stunningly lifelike black dragon above his head.

“Major tribes are indeed different, even their beast soul warriors are so strong.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately retreated, while the Six Pets quickly moved forward, blocking the beast soul warriors who were trying to kill Bai Qi first.

And the one with the fastest action, naturally, was Alpha.

With a teleport, Alpha swung the Sword of Death to block the leading beast soul warrior. However, on seeing Alpha’s Sword of Death, there was obvious surprise in the beast soul warrior, but he quickly recovered.

“Just as the chieftain said, so you Death Round Table are planning to break the covenant?”

A brutal flash crossed the man’s eyes, the black dragon soul clung to his arm, and he forcibly withstood the cut of the Sword of Death.

Creak, creak.

(Boss, this one is tricky.)

Alpha retreated after pulling his sword, looking at the man who was unharmed, his aura exploded, and the other five pets sped up their movements after seeing the situation here.

Someone who could withstand a strike from Alpha’s sword and was left unscathed was too dangerous!

“Indeed it is the Power of Death, although it’s a bit weak, it seems yours is purer than the other Death Knights?”

The man looked at the sword mark on his dragon scale armor, an odd glint in his eyes.

“My name is Raguel, tell me yours!”

Facing Raguel’s challenge, Alpha silently held the Sword of the Wind Chaser and the Sword of Retributive Karma in his hands, with his dragon power and sword intent bursting out, aiming straight for Raguel.

Creak, creak!

(You talk too much!)
