Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 125 - 124: Becoming King of the Mountain

Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Becoming King of the Mountain

Translator: 549690339

Bai Qi sat inside the cave, simultaneously surveying the situation in the valley through the images transmitted by the scout bees and leisurely sipping God’s

Water.

Next to him, over a dozen number plates were casually piled up.

“Knowing there’re traps here yet they still came. Should I say they’re fearless or merely aren’t afraid of death?

Ever since his battle with Ni Ba, Bai Qi had found this valley with Schuck’s guidance.

The rules of this round seemed to push towards guerrilla warfare, similar to the practical exam but the difference being the enemies had evolved from ferocious beasts to Beast Masters.

Naturally, there were no fools among the Beast Masters participating in this training, so they quickly dispersed.

Of course, Bai Qi didn’t bother to chase them one by one. He decided to remain at ease while the others panicked until a significant number of plates were collected. Then he would snatch them.

After all, Alpha was in isolation for evolution, and unless it was necessary, Bai Qi didn’t intend to use it before it absorbed the horns of the Earthshaking Bull

Demon.

As for Husky, it didn’t yet have the ability to confront lord-level creatures. Therefore, for safety reasons, Bai Qi and Schuckcollaborated to install a multitude of landmine turrets in the valley.

Little did Bai Qi expect, his actions turned the guerrilla war into a valley defense battle.

And the number plates by his side were the spoils of war.

“Listen up, everyone in the valley, you’re surrounded. Drop your number plates and surrender immediately, or I’ll open fire!”

Watching the Beast Masters still vigilantly surveying their surroundings in the valley, Bai Qi picked up a loudspeaker to warn them. Subsequently, he activated the concealed turrets around him.

Funnily enough, among the Beast Masters trapped in the valley were his previous opponents, Ran Xu and Qiao Li.

“Damn, how in the world did this bastard bring so many mechanical weapons!”

Ran Xu’s face was somber, not daring to move even a bit as he looked at the dense arrangement of turrets.

If it was just the turrets, it would be more manageable as they were visible, but the real trouble was the landmines that could appear under their feet at any moment.

No wonder they say you can fight a mechanic, but never accept a duel from one.

A well-prepared mechanic was downright overkill!

“I recall he has a Secret Realm Ring. These must have been brought in through

it.”

After scanning the surroundings, Qiao Li locked onto the highest peak around the valley and said, “The most offensive weapons are there, and they’re the most peculiar. That bastard Bai Qi must be hiding there.”

Ran Xu nodded, remembering the shot fired by Alpha to kill the Earthshaking

Bull Demon, he suddenly became uneasy.

“This far, can we really get close to them?”

Qiao Li remained silent for a moment, clenched his teeth and said, “The skeleton surpassed two stages to kill the ferocious beast, it surely overdrafted its energy. I guess it hasn’t recovered its combat strength yet, otherwise, he wouldn’t have set up so many mechanical weapons to bolster his courage.

“Valid point!”

Ran Xu agreed, determination flashed in his eyes. After summoning all his beast controls, he braced himself against turret fire and quickly advanced towards the Thunder Roar Cannon.

“Some are truly not afraid of death…”

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately contacted Husky, guarding the Thunder Roar Cannon, and said, “Schuck Beta, use thirty percent of your power, give them a warning.”

“Understood.”

Upon receiving the instruction, Schuck glanced at Beta, who was impatient at his side, and said, “Be mindful of the intensity. If you blow up the Thunder Roar Cannon again, you can forget about waking up for the next month.”

Awooo…

(Yes, yes, your lordship is embarrassed for being scared of himself, it’s such a loss of face for a wolf.)

Beta yawned, placing his right paw on the Thunder Roar Cannon, while Schuck controlled his mechanical left paw and put it on as well.

in an instant, Thunder Power and Blast Power flooded into the Thunder Roar Cannon, swiftly illuminating all the runes on the cannon.

Then, a shock wave formed by the Thunder Flame Power flew out of the cannon mouth, narrowly missed Ran Xu and Qiao Li, and shot out.

“What just happened…?”

Ran Xu touched his swept-backhair and turned his head stiffly.

On the mountain behind them, a sizable round hole had been burned into it by the Thunder Flame Power. The air still held a faint scent of charring.

The force of the cannon should be equivalent to high-stage skills, right?

No, considering destruction alone, it might be even higher.

“One last warning, leave one number plate and quickly leave, or the next shot won’t miss.”

Ran Xu and Qiao Li looked at each other. Simultaneously, they took out one plate from their chests and placed it on the ground.

Seeing them behave so cleverly, Bai Qi nodded satisfyingly, pressed a button, and two mechanical mice emerged from the nearby bushes. They picked up the number plates and disappeared back in.

Seeing this, disappointment flashed in Ran Xu’s and Qiao Li’s eyes.

They had initially intended to draw out Bai Qi or at least confirm his location.

Given the situation, that clearly seemed unlikely.

Both of them glanced at the turrets around them that were still firmly locked on them. They chose to leave.

“Motherfucker, being threatened by a Second Stage Beast Master. I can’t stand

it!”

Seeing Ran Xu and Qiao Li retreat after being threatened by Bai Qi, a Beast Master riding a Flame Giant Tiger cursed out loud and charged towards the

Thunder Roar Cannon.

As a Third Stage Beast Master and a prominent figure, he would lose face if he just admitted defeat.

But before he could get far, another shot of Thunder Flame Power was fired, piercing the right leg of the Flame Giant Tiger.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t dare to attack you?

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Old Qin said that he couldn’t use the Thunder Roar Cannon while fighting at the same level, but there was no rule against using it in cross-stage combat.

Anyway, the crisis protection mechanism was in place in the Secret Realm. If anyone faced a real life-threatening peril, they would be teleported out straight away. Bai Qi decided that if he was really pushed, he’d force everyone away, one by one.

Roar!

The Flame Giant Tiger, its paw pierced by the Thunder Flame Power, gave a miserable howl. It wanted to charge again, but it was stopped by its Beast Master.

“Meeh master, I’ll remember this!”

The Beast Master glared hatefully at the three Thunderbolt cannons set up in sequence in the sky above. Leaving a number plate behind, he reluctantly led his pet beast away.

The reason why he had dared to make such a reckless assault was that aside from his resentment, he had been certain that the Thunderbolt cannon, a powerful explosive weapon, was bound to have a long cooldown period.

He hadn’t expected that Bai Qi would actually have three Thunderbolt cannons ready at once!

After three contestants gave up in a row, the other Beast Masters could do nothing but leave a plate behind and depart.

With four days left in the competition, they didn’t have to bang their heads against this wall.

Let the problem children chew on this tough nut.

Gu Shan, who had already been slowly withdrawing, sped up his pace after seeing the others abandon the contest. But he hadn’t gotten far when he ran into Zhou Yan riding her Ghost Flame Pegasus on the way to the valley.

“Gu Shan? What are you doing here?”

Without answering, Gu Shan silently kept his mouth shut while Zhou Yan asked of her own accord, “I heard some noise from Bai Qi over here. Is that true?”

Is it just noise? It was practically turning the world upside down!

Ran Xu and Qiao Li, who passed by, couldn’t help but roll their eyes when they heard this.

A Second Stage Beast Master had a group of Third Stage Beast Masters at their wits’ end. If this wasn’t world-shaking, what was?

It was intolerable. They had to report it to their instructor when they got out. They couldn’t put up with this during future training sessions!

Seeing Gu Shan and the others’ strange expressions, Zhou Yan got a rough idea of what had happened, and drove her Pegasus straight towards the valley.

“Is that Sister Zhou coming?”

Bai Qi spotted Zhou Yan’s arrival ahead of time through a scout bee, and his previous sense of satisfaction instantly vanished.

Schuck had just been promoted to Second Stage. Even though the mechanised weapons he produced could handle Third Stage Beast Masters, they were still a bit lacking for a Four Stage Beast Master.

What about recruiting Zhou Yan?

With no hesitation, Bai Qi sent a scout bee straight to Zhou Yan.

On seeing the scout bee coming close, Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to strike it down, but she halted her action after hearing Bai Qi’s voice.

“Bai Qi, what in the hell are you doing here?”

Bai Qi replied, “I was just too lazy to run around and wait for others to come to me – ”

Zhou Yan’s eyes lit up, “So you’re playing king of the hill and calling yourself the big boss?”

“Uh, you could put it that way.”

Bai Qi, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly, acknowledged Zhou Yan’s interpretation of his actions.

“Then I want to join. But I want to be the big boss!

Hearing Zhou Yan’s request, Bai Qi was stunned, while the other Third Stage Beast Masters, waiting for a good show, were all utterly confused.

The plot was going off-track!

“What, no good?!”

Zhou Yan frowned when Bai Qi didn’t respond. Bai Qi immediately snapped out of his daze.

“Of course it’s good, I couldn’t ask for more!

He had originally been considering how to sweet talk Zhou Yan. Now, it looked like the other party had taken the initiative to offer herself up.

“Sister Zhou, you can be the big boss, I’ll happily be second in command!” Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Zhou Yan nodded in satisfaction. She then pointed at Gu Shan behind her and said, “He can be our lackey.”

What does it have to do with me…

Gu Shan, looking utterly confused, was grabbed by Zhou Yan and pulled onto the back of her Pegasus, immediately flown towards the depths of the valley. Seeing this, the Beast Masters who had just been exploited by Bai Qi were in a daze. They gave up on their plans for revenge completely.

One Bai Qi had been trouble enough, and now there was a Zhou Yan as well. They might as well bring a couple more people, so they could be altogether screwed.

As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours. Just as they had this thought, Bai Qiucha arrived riding a Bone Wing beast from a distance.

Then, right after, came Lu Qing…

In just a few minutes, this valley had become the most dangerous place in the Secret Realm.

The gathering hall.

With a suppressed smile, Luo Xiang looked at Zhang Shan, whose expression was twitching a little, and said, “I remember one of the training items was about how to establish a safe base in the wilderness, right? Shouldn’t we just move that ahead?”

The original plan was to test the students on their ability to conceal themselves, launch surprise attacks and survive in the wilderness. However, when it got to Bai Qi’s part, it had been turned into a base defense battle.

No, it was more like him declaring himself king of the hill!

He had the feeling that headquarters might have to modify some rules again…
