Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 379 - 375: On Protracted Warfare
Chapter 379: Chapter 375: On Protracted Warfare
“Death Wing Bear Dragon?”
Looking at the enormous creature with an evil design on the battlefield, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel envious.
[Name]: Death Wing Bear Dragon
[Nature]: Dragon, Insect
[Bloodline Level]: Low king-level
[Introduction]: Originally possessing a robust vitality that could resist most damage, it evolved into the most horrifying destroyer through the promotion of dragon’s bloodline,
Despite both being hybrids of insect and dragon systems, the Parasitic Herb, a symbiotic species, seemed a little underwhelming compared with Xiao Yuan’s Death Wing Bear Dragon in terms of form.
Beyond its noble appearance, there was essentially no intimidation.
“Indeed, the Sun Beetle’s bloodline was too powerful. I have to look for a powerful dragon’s bloodline to balance it in the future, otherwise it might really turn into an insect after further evolution.”
Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly feeling a bit of a headache.
Compelling against the mythical bloodline could only be another mythical bloodline. However, where could he find a mythical dragon’s bloodline?
“Do we begin now?”
Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qi, grinned a smile and said, “Even though I’m not quite used to it, if you don’t make a move, I will.”
After that, without waiting for Bai Qi’s response, the Death Wing Bear Dragon flew up, flapping its wings. The flight speed brought by the raggedy wings full of holes was not slow at all, and it even carried a weird whistling sound, which changed people’s expressions at the sound of it.
“Boss, this guy looks tough. I can…”
Seeing the Death Wing Bear Dragon coming at them rapidly, the Parasitic Herb instinctively felt a tad fearful. But before it could utter its words, it was interrupted by a look from Bai Qi.
You’ll be stewed if you chicken out.
This was the first implication that the Parasitic Herb had gleaned.
“Cough, cough… What I meant to say was, can I use my full strength?”
Thinking of Gamma, who had some distinct thoughts about itself within the team, the Parasitic Herb immediately adjusted its statement.
“Hmm, that sounds more like it.”
Bai Qi nodded approvingly. “But be careful, the Bear Dragon is already here.”
No sooner had the words been uttered than the Death Wing Bear Dragon arrived in front of the Parasitic Herb. Its massive front paw didn’t hold back at all, striking the Parasitic Herb, which couldn’t dodge in time, and sent it crashing straight into the ground.
Winning at the start, the Death Wing Bear Dragon didn’t show signs of stopping. It fired a pitch-black dragon breath at the spot where Parasitic Herb landed, and even congregated black energy balls from the holes in its wings. As the wings flapped, the energy balls continuously plummeted into the deep pit beneath.
“This is the first time I have seen, brother Xiao fight so brutally…”
Bai Yuxiao smacked her lips, her face full of surprise.
Due to her grandfather Xiao Ding being the Chief of Moon Night Tower, the creatures that Xiao Yuan was contracted with were all of powerful bloodlines. Given his personal interest, most of them were of dual dragon and insect systems.
And because of these two creatures’ terrifying vitality and the Moon Night Tower’s traditional training policy, Xiao Yuan’s fighting style was almost always based on attrition.
It was no wonder then that Bai Yuxiao was somewhat shocked, given the series of violent offences that the Death Wing Bear Dragon was launching from the get-go.
“It’s expected, I guessed it when Xiao Yuan contracted the Tardigrade Thunder Dragon. After all, this creature is just in a dormant phase at the Lord level, the real start is at the King level.”
Lu Qing adjusted her glasses and said, “To defeat the Death Wing Bear Dragon, unless Bai Qi’s pet possesses a stronger attack, or a constitution that could last until the Bear Dragon exhausts its energy, the outcome is already settled.”
On hearing Lu Qing’s explanation, everyone was astonished.
Competing with Xiao Yuan in stamina was basically a no-go, unless Bai Qi’s pet had surprisingly strong offensive power.
The offensive from the Death Wing Bear Dragon seemed endless, a continuous barrage of energy balls being hammered into the ground. A gigantic pit quickly formed on the grassland, and thick black smoke constantly ascended as if announcing the outcome of the battle.
“Where there’s smoke but no injury, there’s no need to panic.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi flashed a faint smile. He then saw a small green-gold figure flying out from the smoke and appearing in front of the Death Wing Bear Dragon.
“I was scared to death; I thought I was done for this time.”
Parasitic Herb carefully inspected itself, and after confirming there was no injury, it finally breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
“It’s unscathed?”
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan’s eyes shone brightly. Although he knew from the start that this was not some bug that would die upon a single slap after hearing the name of the Great Sun Dragon Cicada, he had not expected it to be completely unharmed.
“Tsk, tsk, indeed, it’s different once the bloodline ascends, both physical and magical resistances are considerably high.”
Bai Qi was also perfectly satisfied with the Parasitic Herb’s condition, “I just don’t know about its offensive power.”
Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately issued a command, and the Parasitic Herb, which was originally checking its condition, suddenly halted and flew like a green-gold arc of light in mid-air towards the Death Wing Bear Dragon.
Roar!
Seeing this tiny bug dare to approach, the Death Wing Bear Dragon let out an angry roar and aimed a claw at the Parasitic Herb.
But this time, the Parasitic Herb was prepared. It didn’t get hit squarely by the Death Wing Bear Dragon and easily managed to dodge it.
“Ew, ew, ew… what disgusting meat.”
The Parasitic Herb spat out a piece of rotten meat from its mouth, looking completely disgusted. Only then did the Death Wing Bear Dragon realize that a deep, long wound appeared on its claw.
The dragon scales that were supposed to defend against everything were surprisingly ineffective in the face of the parasitic grass.
“Tsk tsk… it’s a parasitic creature after all, those teeth are impressive.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly at the sight, but Xiao Yuan on the opposite side was also somewhat surprised. Black smoke suddenly burst from the surface of the Death Wing Bear Dragon, wrapping its enormous body for protection.
After being enveloped by the black smoke, the wounds on the claws of the Death Wing Bear Dragon slowly began to heal, and they were soon as good as new.
“Bai Qi’s pet seems to be a little weak in terms of physical attack power, even though its constitution is much stronger than I expected, but it might still suffer a bit during a protracted battle.”
Zhou Yan voiced out his judgement, and the rest including Li Mu also nodded in agreement.
“The Death Wing Bear Dragon not only has a powerful life force, but it’s also terribly destructive. A hybrid of the dragon and insect lineages, as long as it’s well-trained, it isn’t weaker than pure Dragon system.”
“Ha ha ha… finally, Bai Qi is at a disadvantage. After half a year of training, it would be really embarrassing if Bai Qi won all the way.”
“Um.”
“However, I do not think Xiao Yuan will necessarily wear out Bai Qi in the end.”
Just then, Gu Shan, who had been silent since his defeat, suddenly spoke, “Bai Qi’s Great Sun Dragon Cicada has the ability to drag others into dreams. If Xiao Yuan is accidentally dragged into a dream state, he might not be able to outlast Bai Qi.”
“Entering dreams, is it like the Dream Vine?”
Lu Qing cast a sidelong glance while Bai Qiucha finally revealed the true identity of the parasitic grass.
“A symbiotic species of the Soul Devouring Insect and Dream Vine? Does such a creature really exist?”
Everyone exchanged glances, clearly unable to connect the blue-gold insect dancing agilely around the Death Wing Bear Dragon with these two creatures.
“I’m not sure. But this pet doesn’t look quite the same as what I saw before. It could be… it evolved again?”
Bai Qiucha somewhat uncertainly voiced her own opinion, causing everyone present to fall silent.
“So, Bai Qi managed to squeeze in an evolution for his pet before our battle?”
“Um… seems like that’s the case.”
People became silent, not knowing how to evaluate Bai Qi.
“The spirit power of Xiaoyuan’s Death Wing Bear Dragon should not be weak, right?”
“Yeah, theoretically, it shouldn’t be.”
“Well that’s good, drawing with Bai Qi should be no problem then.”
In just a few minutes, everyone’s opinion on the battle changed.
A robust constitution that matched the Death Wing Bear Dragon, razor-sharp teeth that could easily tear through dragon scales, and a powerful ability of entering dreams that could simultaneously hypnotize eight Lords, even the Beast Masters from afar.
Suddenly, they felt that Xiao Yuan wasn’t so safe anymore.
On the other side, Xiao Yuan also realized the problem.
Because of its size, the agility of the parasitic grass far surpassed the Death Wing Bear Dragon, leaving a series of deep or shallow wounds on the dragon’s body.
Although they were unnoticeable, and the Death Wing Bear Dragon could quickly heal, it couldn’t do much to the parasitic grass.
Close-range physical attacks barely touched the parasitic grass, and it also had a strong resistance to Dragon’s Breath and energy attacks, unable to cause much effective damage.
But the key was, it seemed that the endurance of the parasitic grass was not inferior to the Death Wing Bear Dragon.
“I didn’t expect to fall into the pace of being dogged again.”
Xiao Yuan gave a wry smile when he saw this, and sent a new command to the Death Wing Bear Dragon. The dragon immediately created a distance between itself and the parasitic grass. Its torn wings began to devour the surroundings air without wind.
Almost instantly, a vacuum zone with the Death Wing Bear Dragon at its core appeared. The devouring continued without ceasing, absorbing the energy from the air, and even… life force…
“Absorbing life force too? How can there be such a BUG ability?!”
Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his eyes unconsciously scanning back and forth on the wings of the Death Wing Bear Dragon.
If Gamma could consume these wings, it could probably gain a similar ability, right?
Maybe, it could even blend with the Bloodsucking Aura to form an even stronger skill?
Finally, a pitch-black spherical space appeared. All the matter inside the space had almost all energy drained from it. However, as the core of the absorption, the Death Wing Bear Dragon exuded a strong vitality.
“This is Brother Xiao’s force field skill. It looks invincible!”
Seeing this, Bai Yuxiao suddenly had confidence in Xiao Yuan again. The ability to drain energy and life force to boost oneself, combined with the horrifying vitality inherent to the Death Wing Bear Dragon, was there anyone who could defeat it?
“But, I feel like Bai Qi has done something similar too…”
Li Mu quietly commented, and everyone’s mind was filled with the image of a certain equally immortal slime monster that also absorbed opponents’ energy and even poisoned them.
“But, force field skills should be different from aura effects, right?”
Bai Yuxiao’s voice became uncertain again.
“Um… but Bai Qi’s pets should also have force field skills, right…”
“…I will take a nap first, wake me up when it’s over…”
