Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 318 - 314: Sun Wheel Beetle
Chapter 318: Chapter 314: Sun Wheel Beetle
The staircase of the Tower of Heaven seemed endless. After Bai Qi had gone a distance but found that the top was still far away, he rather indifferently gave up on his climb.
“Beta, can you sense the location at the top of the tower?”
Woof woof.
(I can sense what seems to be a special creature up there, but I’m a bit reluctant to go.)
Beta glanced at the faintly visible golden light at the top, feeling two completely different sensations deep in his heart.
One was warm, like the sun shining down.
The other was cold, as if the end of the world had arrived.
“I see, so you’re saying there might be some danger up there?”
Bai Qi fell into deep thought, images of the two giant snakes from before surfacing in his mind.
They wouldn’t have swum up the tower, would they?
Thinking of the potential warm welcome he might get at the top, Bai Qi couldn’t help but shudder.
“Delta, maintain your resonance with the void and be ready to run at any time.”
Bloop bloop.
(Don’t worry, master, Delta is ready.)
Delta nodded, and faint spatial ripples were visible around its body, ready to enter the Void Resonance State at any moment.
Finally, in Bai Qi’s expectant and anxious gaze, he and his five pets finally reached the top of the tower. A warm sunlight immediately shone on Bai Qi’s face, sweeping away his exhaustion and gradually calming his agitated mood.
Following the direction of the sunlight, Bai Qi was shocked to find a golden beetle, its body shimmering with a sun-like glow, lying on the top of the tower. The sunlight was also emanating from the beetle’s body.
“Is this, a Sun Beetle?”
A look of surprise crossed Bai Qi’s face. A mythical creature, a creature said to have disappeared thousands of years ago, and he had actually seen it!
But this surprise only lasted for a moment before Bai Qi quickly noticed something strange.
Although the golden beetle in front of him felt stronger than any legendary creature, it didn’t provoke any feelings of awe or reverence. In fact, Bai Qi felt it was quite similar to the golden statue in the previous temple.
“Could this be another entrance to a secret realm…”
Bai Qi twitched. Obelisk, Golden Sea, Tower of Heaven – he’d already passed through three entrances. If he had to continue to another secret realm, he’d doubt whether he was still trapped in the multiple dreams of the Worm Grass.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi skeptically turned towards the Worm Grass but found that it was intently gazing at the golden beetle in the front, its body unconsciously moving towards the beetle.
Woof woof.
(Human, this seems to be just a beetle shell.)
Beta took the lead in discovering the problem with the Sun Beetle in front of him. After examining it, he indeed saw a faint crack in its abdomen.
Bai Qi was a bit disappointed. He thought he was about to see a mythical creature, but it turned out to be a mere shell. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
However, that was fine. If it was a living mythical creature, he wouldn’t know how to deal with it.
Bai Qi approached the shell of the Sun Beetle. After confirming there were no dangers, he curiously placed his hand on the shell.
“Just as I thought…”
Looking at the unchanged Evolution Egg, Bai Qi reconfirmed the opinions of his pets, and soon, he was excited.
Although the Material Atlas he just obtained couldn’t validate the beetle’s shell, the shell of a mythical creature wouldn’t be inferior to Mythical Level materials, right?
It might even be higher?
At that thought, Bai Qi immediately wanted to take the shell to the Secret Realm Base but forgot that he was unable to open the secret realm here.
“Never mind. Alpha, uh… Delta, you should collect this shell for the time being.”
Gazing at the sunlit shell of the Sun Beetle, Bai Qi gestured to Delta to take it away for study later.
However, though the shell of the Sun Beetle seemed to be just lying there, not resisting contact with Bai Qi and the others, when Delta tried to move it, it felt as heavy as a mountain and couldn’t be moved at all.
“Gamma, Schuck, Beta, all of you help.”
Bai Qi immediately ordered the other pets to mobilize. Even Schuck activated his super thruster, but they still couldn’t move the shell of the Sun Beetle.
“What a pain…”
Bai Qi was a little troubled. Even if they managed to move it, they wouldn’t be able to take it with them while they fled. But to leave it behind was certainly something Bai Qi was not willing to do.
“Should we just use it directly?”
Bai Qi looked skeptically at Worm Grass. As the only pet with insect attributes in the team, it was evident that the beetle shell belonged to it. However, even the Green Dragon Scales, which were Mythical Level materials, showed low absorption rates, so he feared that the absorption rate for a shell from a mythical creature would be even lower.
“Never mind. It’s better to absorb a little than none at all. Let’s go for it. Gamma, get ready to heal me.”
Glancing at the beetle shell still radiating warm sunlight, Bai Qi made up his mind. He picked up the Worm Grass and tossed it on the shell before activating the Evolution Egg.
Bang!
In an instant, Bai Qi collapsed to his knees. But before Gamma could provide assistance, the shell of the Sun Beetle released a warm golden light that fell on Bai Qi, quickly restoring his strength.
With the help of the Sun Beetle shell, Bai Qi successfully condensed the Platinum Egg. His body wasn’t tired in the slightest, in fact, he felt more energized than before.
“Huh, is this helping a stranger at one’s own expense?”
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, but given that the insect grass was about to absorb the bloodline of a mythical creature, he didn’t interfere any further.
A mythical creature of his own, was he finally going to have one?
Boom!
Just then, the Tower of Heaven suddenly shook violently, the wall that once radiated gold gradually dimmed, replaced by endless darkness…and death!
Crackle, crackle!
(Boss, it’s the Power of Death!)
Seeing the prepared Alpha, Bai Qi was slightly taken aback.
What happened to the Sun Secret Realm? Why was there Power of Death here now!
“Schuck, Beta, grab the insect grass egg. Delta, get ready to run!”
Sensing the dangerous aura coming from the bottom of the tower, Bai Qi made an immediate decision to escape with the Platinum Eggs.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the top of the Tower of Heaven was suddenly torn open. Two colossal heads, one black and one white, peered inside. Upon seeing the vanished shell of the Sun Beetle, a stroke of ferocity flashed through their vertical pupils.
Roar!!!
The black giant serpent roared upwards and then burrowed into the Tower of Heaven. But its target was not Bai Qi, rather, it was heading for the bottom of the tower – concerning the white giant serpent, as if sensing something, suddenly changed its course, heading off towards the desert area.
Observing the giant serpent’s behaviour, Bai Qi inferred something and promptly escaped the tower from the breach at the top.
The white giant serpent had swam a considerable distance away, its figure almost invisible, yet faint roars could still be heard, as though it was in battle.
At the same time, wails came from beneath the tower, and the Tower of Heaven started to shake violently as if about to collapse at any moment.
“Looks like…I’ve caused a disaster…”
Bai Qi smacked his lips, and Beta seemed to have sensed something too, as gold light flashed in its vertical pupils.
Howl, howl!
(Human, I sense the entrance is opening!)
“Then what are we waiting for, let’s get out of here!”
Hearing Beta’s words, Bai Qi didn’t hesitate and headed in the direction they came from.
Although he wasn’t sure whether the shell of the Sun Beetle was the Mythical inheritance, looking at the present situation, preserving his life was of utmost importance.
Because they entered the Void Resonance State early, Delta retreated to their point of entry almost instantly. But Delta was quite worn out, as it had consumed most of its energy that was supposed to be enough for twelve rounds of battles.
Seemingly sensing Beta’s approach, the desert beneath once again turned into a golden sea, and Bai Qi and his five pets didn’t hesitate to plunge into the golden sea.
Just as they were about to submerge completely into the golden sea, the Tower of Heaven exploded, a black mist like a long snake burrowed out from the ground and slithered towards the sky. The sun in the sky began to dim.
Was the Tower of Heaven…a seal?
Upon seeing the black mist snake, Bai Qi understood the purpose of the Tower of Heaven amidst his pounding heart but before he could think further, he was completely swallowed by the golden sea, which then turned back into a desert.
At this moment, the black mist snake seemed to have sensed something as well and rapidly slithered towards the entrance. Mid-flight, a black figure fell from its body, revealing a large white snake skeleton.
Could it be anyone else but the black giant serpent!?
The black mist snake circled above the desert for a long time, unable to locate the entrance, it could only let out a silent roar of rage, immediately shifting its target to the white giant serpent.
It was starving.
…
The Golden Temple.
Li Xusheng was wary as he looked at the martial souls on the opposing side that looked like both undead and living creatures, while beside him stood Dean and others.
“I never expected the Sun Secret Realm to let Beast Soul Warriors infiltrate. Could there be other entrances?”
As the twelfth contestant to enter, Feng Ye, who was forced to join the battle before he even had time to check out his surroundings, couldn’t help but complain.
He had finally made it to the competition using the Rune made overnight by Bai Qi to suppress the heavy cannon. Just as they were about to explore, they ended up fighting these Beast Soul Warriors. To say he wasn’t frustrated would definitely be a lie.
“We should ask Carl about this. Surely the Yixiu family won’t be unaware of whether their secret realm has a backdoorl.”
Once Dean mentioned this, all eyes turned to the Yixiu family members, and Carl’s expression instantly turned gloomy.
“The obelisk’s appearance in the Yixiu family territory was a coincidence. We don’t know how the Beast Soul Warriors entered.”
Carl paused, then said, “The matter at hand is to deal with these Beast Soul Warriors.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, while the Beast Soul Warriors on the other side began to move.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Ah!!!
At that moment, a scream echoed from above, causing everyone present to look up. To their astonishment, they saw a man, four pets, not right, one man, four pets and an egg falling from the sky, smashing into the ranks of the Beast Soul Warriors.
“Is that…Bai Qi?!”
