Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 381: Evil Energy Snake Statue

Nicholas’s words also echoed the thoughts of Bai Qi, who immediately asked a question as soon as he saw his two pets unharmed.

“Alpha, Jerry, how did you perceive the snake’s real body?”

Creak, creak.

(Instinct.)

Jerry: “Just a guess.”

Bai Qi: “…can you be serious?”

Creak, creak.

(Boss, it really was instinct. Although the big snake hid well, I was sure that the murderous aura didn’t come from these two pythons.)

Jerry nodded, “The disparity between the spirits and power of these two pythons is too great. It looked quite suspicious, so I ventured a guess.”

“So that’s how it is.”

After hearing this, Bai Qi understood, he signaled Nicholas to step forward, looked at the giant snake body in front of him, and asked, “Is this guy dead now?”

Creak, creak.

(I destroyed its brain and heart, it should be dead.)

Woof, woof!

(Bonehead, it was clearly this doggy who first killed its spirit!)

Both pets glared at each other, and then turned their heads away, both ignoring the other one.

“Alright, Alpha was able to easily handle the attacks of the three pythons and killed them in one shot, well done. You guys were able to anticipate the big snake’s movements and kill on time, also not bad. Let’s call this a draw.”

Seeing both pets act like this, Bai Qi immediately tried to calm them down. However, when Bai Qi mentioned a draw, Beta’s fur stood on end.

Woof, woof!

(Draw? This doggy will not accept a draw with Bonehead!)

Creak, creak…

(Hmph…)

Alpha splendidly ignored Husky’s rage, causing Husky to go insane even further, completely unaware of Bai Qi who was snickering at it.

“Human, you are doing this intentionally, right?”

The Cowskin Snake rolled its eyes, but Bai Qi feigned ignorance, “Intentionally? What intentionally? I don’t understand.”

After these guys had peacefully rested for so long, he finally had the chance to give them some motivation, how could Bai Qi let it go?

Oh, a Beast Master like him who is closely focused on his pet’s feelings is really rare.

Crunch crunch!

(Master Master, can Gamma eat him now!)

Gamma bounced around the big snake, itching to devour it right where it lays.

“This snake is so big, it would be a waste to eat it directly. Let’s first check to see if there are any worthwhile materials to harvest.”

Bai Qi shook his head. Gamma had sensed an evil energy from the python before, so there was a great chance that they could find related resources in this big snake. Simply eating it would be a dreadful waste.

Woof, woof!

(Even though the snake is dead now, why does it still stink so much around here? No, this doggy feels it’s even smellier!)

“Even smellier?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned. He looked around and did find that the surrounding poisonous mist was not only failing to disperse but also becoming more concentrated.

“So, this big snake is not the source of the poison gas?”

Bai Qi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the place where the big snake had crawled out from, saying, “Delta, it’s your turn.”

Blub, blub.

(Yes, master.)

Delta nodded its head and immediately transformed into the Fierce Dragon Beast form. Its strong legs stomped hard and the ground instantly crumbled.

[Skill Name]: Earth Tremor

[Skill Level]: High Level

[Skill Introduction]: As the ruler of the earth, the Fierce Dragon Beast has absolute control over its territory. All creatures that refuse to yield in front of it will be buried by the earth.

…

“Even without using the Void Echo, its destructive power is still very strong. I definitely made the right choice.”

Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily. A status image of Delta immediately surfaced in Bai Qi’s mind.

[Energy Value]: 8E1100W

[Condition]: Evolvable

…

Considering the uniqueness of Void Echo, all the forms that Delta chose after its original sea, land, and air forms were all strength types, which could bring out the maximum effect of Void Echo.

“Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to evolve into king-level yet, otherwise, Delta might be the strongest among all the pets.”

A hint of regret flashed across Bai Qi’s face, but it was quickly replaced by the ongoing situation in front of him.

As the ground was broken open by Delta, more poisonous mist seeped out from underground. It corroded everything it passed, whether they were snakes or trees, at a visibly rapid pace.

Then, death.

“Indeed, the source of the toxin is right here.”

Bai Qi cracked a smile, and as the team’s expert in detoxification, Gamma stepped forward, unfolding his Bloodsucking Aura and beginning to absorb fervently, Delta too took on the form of a White Armored Elephant and assisted at his side.

Their abilities allowed them to use the toxin as their own sustenance, it was a simple matter of replenishing their energy and healing.

The scale of the ground collapse was bigger than Bai Qi and his people had predicted. Once all the dust had settled, a pit about a hundred meters in diameter had appeared on the ground.

The pit was deep, and beside the fallen giant serpent, one could vaguely see some eggshells crushed by the rocks falling down.

Clearly, the venomous snakes of the Green Dragon Secret Realm were all hatched from here.

In the center of the pit, there was a huge green poison pool.

The poison pool was bubbling in green like magma, which you could tell it was dangerous just by looking at it. However, the attention of Bai Qi and his companions was entirely drawn to the green serpent-shaped statue in the center of the poison pool.

Evil Energy!

Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled, and Gamma, who couldn’t suppress his inner craving, rushed directly towards the serpent-shaped statue.

“Gamma, wait until the situation is confirmed before consuming it!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi swiftly stretched out his hand to stop him, and Alpha flashed to Gamma’s side, attempting to take him back.

Chomp! Chomp!

(Gamma’s hungry, Gamma wants to eat!)

Seeing his food was in front of him but being interrupted by Alpha, Gamma suddenly became agitated. His body ignited in flames of Evil Energy and began to grow in size, as if trying to break free from Alpha’s control.

At the same time, the serpent-shaped statue below started to behave strangely, gradually emitting a mysterious green glow, echoing Gamma from afar.

“Dammit, it’s affected by the Evil Energy, isn’t it?”

Bai Qi covered his head with one hand, feeling the chaotic emotions transmitted from Gamma, and shouted at Nicholas, “Nicholas, use your domain to suppress that thing!”

“Okay!”

Nicholas nodded. The Jade Domain immediately unfolded, covering the entire pit.

Before the Jade Power filled with powerful vitality, the poison pool began to shrink visibly, and the snake-shaped statue gradually lost its glow, but still shaking unceasingly, as if it was fighting back against Nicholas.

“Indeed, it’s Evil Energy, that it could even stalemate with the domain.”

Bai Qi clenched his teeth upon seeing this, glanced at the still-raging Gamma, and said, “Nicholas, can you destroy that thing?”

“I, the Dragon, will give it a try.”

Nicholas nodded, increasing the power of his domain.

Crumble.

The snake statue shattered with a loud noise, the eerie atmosphere dissipated instantly, and Gamma also regained consciousness.

Chomp? Chomp?

(Alpha, why are you holding Gamma?)

Gamma looked somewhat puzzled at Alpha, but upon noticing the green marks on Alpha’s body, he suddenly understood

Chomp? Chomp?

(This is Evil Energy? Did Gamma just attack Alpha?)

Thinking that he might have attacked a companion, Gamma was immediately shocked and quickly unfolded his aura to absorb the Evil Energy on Alpha’s body.

Crack crack.

(I’m fine, don’t worry.)

Alpha shook his arm slightly, and the remaining Evil Energy fell off his body entirely. His Crystal Skeleton had not been damaged at all.

Being a Crystal Skeleton Dragon, he was naturally immune to various abnormal states. As a King-level creature, Alpha was not threatened by the Evil Energy, albeit somewhat unique, at least for now.

“Alright, it’s good to know you’re safe. However, we cannot come into contact with this Evil Energy for now.”

Bai Qi looked warily at the shattered serpent statue that had become fragments and fallen into the poison pool. He had wanted Gamma to absorb more Evil Energy materials for emergencies, but before the absorption had even begun, Gamma had already been affected.

Tsk, it seems I need to enhance the attribute of Holy Light first. Otherwise, who knows if we can suppress it the next time we encounter this.

Perhaps it was because of the shattered Evil Energy snake statue, the poison pool that was constantly spewing poisonous gas also stopped moving, and even the surrounding land gradually recovered vitality under the cover of the Jade Domain.

“Nicholas, have you regained control of the Secret Realm now?”

Bai Qi looked around and asked.

“Hmm, I’ve regained control of most areas, but I still can’t fully control this region.”

Nicholas concentrated on his senses, then turned his gaze to the poison pool before them.

“The poison pool is the only issue? Do we need to clean up all the poison first?”

Bai Qi slightly nodded, looked at the dwindling poison pool, and said, “In that case, let’s let the Wood Armor Swordsman absorb it and see, there might still be some potential.”

“No problem.”

Nicholas nodded, not rejecting the proposition.

Happy at the thought of the Green Dragon Secret Realm no longer producing such terrifying snakes, Nicholas would even be willing to share the Green Dragon Secret Realm with Bai Qi, let alone absorbing some poison.

Bloop… Bloop…

Just then, a series of bubbles appeared in the poison pool. Alpha and the other five pets instantly went on alert, and Nicholas was also ready to unfold the Jade Domain again.

Next, a small gray snake crawled out of the poison pool.

“Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? I found it below, ahem… ”

The cowskin snake looked puzzled at Bai Qi and the others’ unhappy expressions, not realizing what had happened. He was about to share his findings when he had a violent fit of coughing and a green fragment suddenly sprouted from his mouth, falling directly onto Gamma.

Chomp?

Gamma was confused by the green shard slowly melting into his body. Before he could react, a surge of green flame suddenly erupted.

Evil Energy Fire!
