Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 716 - 711: Undead Siege

Chapter 716 -711: Undead Siege

Wuxian City.

Bai Qi navigated his way through the bustling crowds, scrutinizing the classical architecture surrounding him with curiosity shining in his eyes.

“No wonder the Ten Thousand Laws Dynasty was considered the strongest period leading up to the Federation, their application of runes is staggering.”

Observing the multitude of rune lights and rune carriages operating under the command of runes, Bai Qi gleaned a new understanding of the Ten Thousand Laws Dynasty and his curiosity for the Law Emperor, who established the dynasty, increased exponentially.

The fact that the human beings in the Era of Law Emperor had integrated runes into their daily lives surpassed anything Bai Qi had anticipated.

All of this was, undoubtedly, the work of the Law Emperor.

“Indeed, although the mechanical structure is a bit rough, it certainly is an early embryonic form of the Mechanical Engineering Department.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded in agreement. From what he had seen so far, the rune devices were almost identical to the mechanical creations of future generations with unique energy applications despite a difference in precision.

“It’s a shame that I left Black and White behind on the battlefield as a trump card and they couldn’t time travel with me. Otherwise, I could have had him as a guide.”

Bai Qi swept his gaze around and his eyes brightened as he spotted a familiar sign, heading towards it briskly.

Beast Master Association.

Bai Qi pushed open the oak doors and entered the Beast Master Association, raising his eyebrow at the interior construction.

Beast Masters were gathered around task boards, selecting assignments or seated in a relaxation area, gulping down fine wines and sharing personal anecdotes.

Calling this a branch of the Association seemed less accurate than describing it as a tavern.

However, it was precisely such an environment that enabled the Beast Masters to unwind and savor tranquility for a fleeting moment.

“Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can assist you with?”

A waitress approached Bai Qi, her eyes sparkling with a friendly smile.

“I’ll have a…. um, a fruit juice.”

Although of legal drinking age, Bai Qi was rather resistant to alcohol, disliking the sensation of being intoxicated.

“Very well.”

The waitress responded with a small smile and soon returned with a glass of fruit juice for Bai Qi.

“Sir, you’re not one of our Wuxian City’s Beast Masters, are you?”

The waitress set the juice in front of Bai Qi, inquiring.

“You’re correct, I just arrived in Wuxian City today. Do you have any advice for me?”

Bai Qi inclined his body slightly in a gesture of gratitude and asked.

The reason he had come here, apart from wanting to see what the Beast Master Association looked like a thousand years ago, was primarily to gather useful intelligence.

“Stay away from Taize Lake and don’t get close to Pasture Hill, that’s my advice.”

The waitress beamed, “Enjoy your drink, sir.”

“Thank you.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded, lifting the glass to his lips for a sip.

The juice was refreshingly sweet and sour, indicative of the superior flavor of fruits grown in an unpolluted environment.

Bai Qi contentedly savored his beverage, his ears occasionally twitching, continually picking up surrounding conversations.

“As I thought, the threat from the Three Waters Tribe to Wuxian City isn’t negligible, but this Pasture Hill….”

Bai Qi rubbed his chin as he guessed something, intending to seek confirmation from someone when his attention was drawn to a rune at the entrance of the Beast Master Association. It began to emit a red light, followed by an anxious voice resonating from it.

“Undead invasion! All Beast Masters to the city walls for defense preparation. Beast Masters below rank three and civilians, immediately proceed to the shelter!”

The Association suddenly quieted. Whether they were drinking or picking assignments, all the Beast Masters turned their attention to the entrance. Upon hearing the alarm for the second time, they sprang to their feet, rushing outside.

“Undead invasion? Are you telling me that Pasture Hill is the precursor of the Undead Hill?”

Observing the tavern which had quickly emptied, Bai Qi drained his juice, summoning Husky and taking off towards the city walls.

The residents of Wuxian City were evidently seasoned in dealing with such situations, proceeding orderly towards the shelter under the leadership of soldiers despite their evident panic.

As for the Beast Masters, they summoned their own beasts, rushing towards the city walls that Bai Qi had left earlier.

Regardless of the era, Beast Masters were always in the frontline.

Awooo, awooo~

(Human, I smell many undead coming~)

“It seems that the scale of this undead invasion is not small. Let’s hurry up and take a look.”

Bai Qi subtly nodded, and Husky picked up speed, swiftly reaching the city walls.

A substantial number of Beast Masters had congregated on the walls, their expressions grave as they stared into the distance.

Following their gaze, Bai Qi saw a sea of skeletons surging towards the city.

Undead Catastrophe, the public enemy of humankind!

“Everyone, prepare for long-range attacks!”

A team leader raised his right hand high, assessing the distance of the Undead Corps. Regardless of their affiliation, all the Beast Masters on the walls commanded their beasts to prepare.

“Orientation of the Rune cannons is complete and ready to fire!”

At this moment, a series of cannon barrels emerged from within the walls, their surfaces embellished with mysterious patterns, flashing an eye-catching light.

“Fire!”

In a flash, a whirlwind of energy beams emerged with a variety of skills. They landed with precision in the sea of skeletal bones.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions rang out, shredding countless skeletons. The few that survived the initial onslaught were crushed underfoot by their advancing undead comrades.

The first wave of attacks inflicted almost no damage on the Undead Catastrophe.

“Damn, are their numbers really this vast?”

The commander looked at the seemingly endless Undead Corps, gritted his teeth and roared, “Second and third waves, prepare to attack! We are to alternate every third wave – give these dirty creatures no chance to breathe!”

“Yes, sir!”

The Beast Masters responded in unison and launched their attack under the commander’s orders.

Still, the Undead Corps steadily advanced on Wuxian City.

“Although the defensive approach isn’t bad, it’s still not enough.”

Bai Qi quickly noticed the situation. Neither the rune cannons nor the Beast Masters’ attacks were weak, but the enemy was clearly summoning new undead incessantly.

Unless they had a massive area-of-effect skill or beheaded the high-ranking undead, this Undead invasion was hard to deal with.

Clack, clack?

(“Boss, should I step in?”)

“No need, Alpha. You stepping in will likely cause a bigger commotion. After all, there’s still one Hero in this city who hasn’t made their move. Hold back and see how things play out.”

Bai Qi shook his head, dismissing Alpha’s suggestion.

He wasn’t from this era; Bai Qi wasn’t sure if intervening in these historical events would impact the future.

There were many theories related to time travel, such as “time is a loop, and everything you do is predestined” or “every decision you make creates a parallel universe”.

However, Bai Qi couldn’t confirm which theory was correct. So, the safest approach was to observe for the moment.

As the Undead Corps advanced closer, the Beast Masters atop the walls could even see the leftover flesh and blood on the skeletons’ bodies, which increased their sense of dread.

Compared to these undying undead, they would prefer to face the ferocious beasts of the Three Whites Tribe head-on.

At least, they wouldn’t have to worry about becoming slaves to the undead after their death, potentially harming their families.

Just then, a figure suddenly shot out from the city walls, plunging into the midst of the Undead Corps. Wherever he passed, undead creatures were sliced in half.

“He’s here!”

Bai Qi saw this figure and looked carefully. A man in tails, holding a long knife, and sporting short hair slowly rose. He glanced at the surrounding skeletons that wished to swarm him. His right hand made a grasping action in mid-air, and several blue arrows formed out of thin air revolving around the man rapidly, effortlessly shattering the skeletons nearby.

“Wow… his style, he’s genuinely cool~”

Bai Qi sang praises upon seeing the scene. The human Hero, in both appearance and combat capability, was absolutely stunning.

If this were in a later era, he’d undoubtedly have a large group of avid fans, and he might even pose a threat to Bai Qi’s popularity.

“Ahh! It’s the Enma Legend, he’s so cool! I can’t breathe…”

“Ahh…”

Well, he had avid fans now.

The screams near Bai Qi surprised him. He quietly stepped back into a corner and watched the Enma Legend wreaking havoc below. He then turned to Alpha and asked,

“Alpha, if you were to fight him, could you win?

Clack, Clack.

（I wouldn’t lose.）

“Understood.”

Bai Qi nodded. That meant he could win. Considering Alpha could detect the opponent’s aura beforehand, it seemed he stood a good chance.

Grrrr!

(Human, another strong aura just appeared!)

Suddenly, Beta warned. The Absurd Clown also shook its mask as if to remind Bai Qi to be careful.

Bai Qi looked up and saw an enormous six-armed warrior covered in ice, holding an ice trident, walking out of the Undead Corps and charging towards the Enma Legend.

“Legendary Dead Soul? No wonder these bones never end, no matter how much we hit them.”

The Enma Legend looked at the imposing ice warrior without fear and swung his long knife to engage the enemy.

As a Legend adept in composite combat, the Enma Legend’s close combat skills were top-notch even within the Empire. Faced with the similarly melee-oriented Legendary Dead Soul, he was ecstatic.

But precisely because of this, the Undead Corps that had been halted by the Enma Legend started moving again, continuing their advance toward Wuxian City.

“Are all Beast Masters who can perform fusion this reckless?”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly. Among the Beast Masters he knew, those capable of Fusion or who had symbiotic creatures seemingly became impassioned fighters, who threw caution to the wind at the slightest provocation.

Seeing that the Undead Corps was getting nearer, and that the Enma Legend was occupied by the Ice Warrior, Bai Qi swept his right hand across the badge on his chest. He brought the Absurd Clown to his face as a mask and jumped down with Husky, plunging into the horde of Undead.

And Bai Qi’s target was a necromancer in a black robe, who was continuously summoning skeletons run-through with black dark energy.

“Well, I guess I should help out… it’s my hometown after all….”
