Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 334: Chapter 330: So Fragrant~

Recalling how his father had ferociously scolded him for the Catastrophe System back then, Wu Yi felt indignant. He forcefully shook off Bai Qi’s hand and turned away, refusing to interact with Bai Qi.

Bai Qi didn’t take it to heart. He looked behind Wu Yi at the group of people. After spotting the Six-eyed Monkey on Wang Yun’s body, things clicked in his mind.

“You’re Wang Yun from Lingxi City? What brings you to Langya City?”

“Out on a mission,” Wang Yun responded briefly, then glanced at the giant metal pot behind Bai Qi and the remnants of the Explosive Beads Flower nearby. “Did you eat an Explosive Beads Flower?”

“How is that possible?”

Bai Qi shook his head, with an incredulous look, and Wang Yun and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

They were just saying, it couldn’t be possible for someone to cook a Lord-level Fierce Beast so easily. But Bai Qi was truly audacious, showing off in the wilderness. Weren’t they afraid of attracting other beasts?

“I just used the pollen of the Explosive Beads Flower as a condiment. After all, a dry pot doesn’t taste good without some spice,” Bai Qi said.

Bai Qi, with a pointed look behind him, said, “What do you think? Want some? Although it’s not as nourishing as the Desolate Ghost Frog King, it’s still pretty decent.”

“Bai Qi, what’s in that big pot of yours? Is it the Desolate Ghost Frog King? That King-level Ferocious Beast?”

Wang Yun twitched at the corner of her mouth, revealing her inner speculation.

“That’s right. Why don’t you let your pets try some, too?”

Bai Qi nodded, confirming Wang Yun’s guess, which left Wang Yun and the others speechless, as they found it hard to accept.

In this day and age, there were people eating a King-level Ferocious Beast out in the wild, and a dry pot of it, at that?

“Humph! You surely talk a big game, though. The Desolate Ghost Frog King is a dangerous beast that lives deep in the Black Nightmare Swamp. Even a Fifth Stage Beastmaster may have a tough time handling it unless they can lure it out,” Wu Yi snorted heartily, clearly not believing Bai Qi’s claim.

“You’re not wrong. The Desolate Ghost Frog King is indeed a formidable adversary. Fortunately, I had just the right bait,” Bai Qi acknowledged.

Bai Qi nodded, “We rarely run into familiar faces in the wilderness. Everyone, come and eat. We won’t be able to finish it all on our own.”

As he faced Li Shi and his group again, even though it was embarrassing, they couldn’t resist the smell. Plus, they were genuinely hungry, so they accepted his invitation without much hesitation.

“What do we do now, young master Wu Yi?” He Jia, who was watching the three people relish their meal, couldn’t help but ask Wu Yi after swallowing his saliva hungrily.

“What do you mean ‘what’? Are you hungry?”

Wu Yi turned away, refusing to watch them enjoy their meal. He looked annoyed as he questioned He Jia.

“Not hungry, not hungry. I was just asking…”

Gurgle–

Before He Jia could finish his sentence, his stomach made a loud grumbling sound. Li Shi couldn’t help but laugh at his awkwardness.

Just then, Gamma brought a large platter to the pets. The smell of the King-level predators’ flesh and blood made the Twin Pets ignore their owner’s thoughts completely. They started eating unabashedly.

“You disgraceful thing.”

Seeing this, Wu Yi’s face turned red with embarrassment. He was about to call back his Goddess Butterfly when suddenly, a gigantic wolf came to him and placed a pot full of frog meat in front of Wu Yi and He Jia, then bolted away.

Being so close to the fragrant dry pot, Wu Yi’s stomach also embarrassingly made a sound. His face turned beet red. After looking at Li Shi and the others, who were happily eating, he picked up a piece of Desolate Ghost Frog from the hot pot and bit into it fiercely.

If it hadn’t been for not wanting to lose face before Li Shi, he wouldn’t have eaten this commoner’s food.

Mmm, it was delicious.

Soon, the large Desolate Ghost Frog King and countless other small frogs were eaten by the group. Both the Beastmasters and the pets seemed immensely satisfied as they lay spread out on the grass, with no regard for their appearances.

Wang Yun, looking at Bai Qi who was browsing through a task board, asked, “Bai Qi, I heard you’re currently serving as a mentor in Star Mechanics Academy’s Undead Department. How do you have time to travel so far for a task?”

“It’s not an assignment; it’s a practicing task given by my teacher.”

Bai Qi shook his head and looked back at the group, “Speaking of which, did you guys come here with the intention of slaying the Explosive Beads Flowers?”

“Indeed. But it seems we won’t be able to complete that task.”

Wang Yun nodded and looked curiously at Bai Qi’s task board, “May I take a look? I wonder what kind of practicing tasks the Legendary Celestial Brilliance assigns to his sole disciple.”

“Go ahead.”

Bai Qi handed the task board to Wang Yun. These tasks were originally issued by the association to the public. Some had been piling up for a long time and were just picked out by Bai Heguang and assigned to him.

Wang Yun took the task board. As soon as she saw the subsequent task targets, her face changed. She silently handed back the task board to Bai Qi.

“What happened, Wang Yun?”

Li Shi noticed that something was wrong with Wang Yun and curiously asked.

“It’s nothing.”

Wang Yun shook her head. Her face gave away nothing, but her mind was in turmoil.

Twenty Lord-level Fierce Beasts and five King-level Ferocious Beasts.

Being a legendary disciple, were all the training tasks this horrifying?

“Right, didn’t you have a skeleton and a double-headed wolf as pet beasts? Why haven’t I seen them?”

Wang Yun looked at the four pet beasts next to Bai Qi, but couldn’t find the two she had seen before, which puzzled her.

“Alpha was taken by the teacher for special training. As for Beta, look, isn’t this one?”

Bai Qi patted the Husky, said, “Though it has one more head, the other two should be no different from before.”

You call this no different?

Wang Yun’s eyes twitched slightly. Looking at the technologically advanced Schuck and Beta with three eyes, she couldn’t relate them to the funny Arctic Ice Wolf from before.

Moreover, why does the Arctic Ice Wolf give the Six-eyed Monkey such a great sense of oppression? Even the Arctic Ice Wolf King is only at the Lord level.

Just as Wang Yun was about to ask more questions, several phantom figures suddenly popped out from the nearby woods and launched an attack on them.

“This is, a Martial Soul? There are beast soul warriors?!”

Seeing this, Wu Yi’s face changed immediately. He quickly summoned the Goddess Butterfly to his side for defense, and Wang Yun and others also immediately entered a state of combat readiness, thinking about countermeasures simultaneously.

Although they were all still college students, they were naturally aware of the existence of beast soul warriors. But they didn’t expect to encounter them so near to the city. It seemed like they were in some trouble that day.

“It really is like Teacher had said, there is beast soul warrior activity here,” Bai Qi wasn’t surprised at all looking at the Martial Souls attacking them.

“Bai Qi, these beast soul warriors are high-level, at least having the strength of a Four Stage Beast Master. We need to fight!”

Seeing this, Wang Yun frowned slightly. Even though Bai Qi was the top scholar in the joint exam of the two cities, this wasn’t a competition. They were in the wilderness — people could actually die here!

“I know, haven’t I already taken action?”

Before Bai Qi had finished speaking, Jerry rushed out. With a swing of his staff, he shattered several Martial Souls to pieces.

At the same time, Beta’s roar echoed, and several muffled hums came from the forest. Before Wang Yun and the others could react, a mechanical creature sent by Schuck had already dragged several beast soul warriors in front of them.

These beast soul warriors had been sensed by Beta as soon as they neared the woods. Bai Qi didn’t take action right away because he wanted to see the purpose of these people.

But it seemed a bit foolish?

Bai Qi walked to the beast soul warriors who had been knocked unconscious, and began to curiously examine them.

Although quite a few beast soul warriors lurking in the Federation were caught in the Sun Secret Realm last time, according to the teacher, it was clear that the tribe had been used to impulsively attack the Sun Secret Realm, otherwise they usually hid very well.

The fact that these beast soul warriors exposed themselves and attacked them so openly seemed quite abnormal.

“Jerry, do you know what they’re trying to do?”

Jerry shook his head, said, “Their souls are bound by a contract, it’s hard to interrogate them. But I suggest Epsilon could try.”

“Epsilon?”

Understanding what Jerry was getting at, Bai Qi immediately called over the insect grass to begin hypnotizing the beast soul warriors.

“Bai Qi, is your pet beast already at the king level?”

Wang Yun walked up in surprise, her voice full of uncertainty.

“Yeah, or how would I get an entire Desolate Ghost Frog King to eat?”

Bai Qi looked curiously at Wang Yun, whose astonished eyes made Wang Yun’s veins throb. She wished she could punch Bai Qi right then and there.

This was a King-level creature, not a green bug from the roadside. Could he not be so indifferent?

And with his two pets already at the King level, his main pet wouldn’t be…?

Anything taken for special training by the Legendary Celestial Brilliance couldn’t possibly still be a high-grade Lord, right?

Wu Yi had the same feeling. Looking at the five Rune Marks on Bai Qi’s hand, he suddenly felt that the praises other people heaped upon him were somewhat mocking.

A Fifth Stage Beast Master and his pile of epoch-making research inventions – they were both humans, so why was there such a big gap?

“Leader, I’ve found something!”

Just as Bai Qi and the others were chatting, the insect grass finally made progress.

“What’s their purpose for coming here?”

“From their dream state, it seems they are — running for their lives?”

The insect grass delivered its conclusion with a bit of uncertainty. Then, it passed on the information it had gathered from the beast soul warriors’ dream state to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi shook his head, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he was surprisingly on a huge lake covered with ice.

“Is this Taize Lake?”

Looking through the eyes of the beast soul warrior, Bai Qi quickly recognized the scene in front of him and was slightly confused.

Taize Lake is vast. It borders several cities like Gusu City, Lingxi City, and Langya City. Its perennially frozen climate allows an Arctic Ice Wolf to live in a southern city like Gusu.

But what happened in Taize Lake to scare these beast soul warriors like this?
