Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 618: Chapter 613: Are There Still Living Green Dragons?

“Web Spider?”

Upon hearing the name, Bai Qi had an epiphany. Langya City wasn’t too far from Gusu City. He had heard of the evolved form of the Web Spider — he didn’t expect it to be Lin Fugui’s accomplishment.

“Exactly. Dean Lin has always been committed to developing the bloodline of insect pets. Interestingly, it seems he shares common ground with the Immortal Insect Emperor in this regard.”

A glint of admiration flashed in Yang Ming’s eyes as he said, “Because of Dean Lin, we, at Cangzhe Academy, have completed many projects to enhance insect pets.”

At this, Yang Ming seemed to recall something. He said, “Speaking of which, Legendary Beast Master Xiao Ding, aka Xiao Chuanqi, once collaborated with us.”

“Xiao Chuanqi?”

“Yes, Xiao Chuanqi’s grandson is very fond of Dragon Bloodline insect pets, and we at Cangzhe Academy also happen to have many of them, so…”

Understanding dawned on Bai Qi at his words. All of Xiao Yuan’s pets were indeed insect pets of the Dragon Bloodline. Furthermore, the last time they met, Xiao Yuan’s main pet had already evolved into a dragon form. However, thinking back on it now, it still had more characteristics of an insect pet.

“Master Yang, you said Cangzhe Academy has plenty of Dragon Bloodline types? I don’t seem to have seen any?”

Bai Qi scanned the environment. The Poison Valley was primarily filled with poisonous insects, and although there had been many types of insect pets in the Thundering Forest, Dragon Bloodline types were not among them.

“Dragon Bloodline types usually live in the Hidden Dragon Cave and rarely venture out.”

Yang Ming explained while continuing to lead Bai Qi onwards.

“Thundering Forest, Poison Valley, Hidden Dragon Cave… three training areas truly are the sign of a renowned institution with profound groundings.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking around curiously.

The deeper they went into the Poison Valley, the fewer Beast Masters they saw. However, the number of poisonous insects seemed to increase.

Red scorpions, blue spiders, green toads…

All sorts of poisonous insects were freely roaming about in the valley. Each of them had very aggressive demeanours, launching immediate attacks on other poisonous insects that invaded their territory.

However, upon detecting Bai Qi and the others’ approach, these poisonous insects all gave way, as if they had encountered some terrifying predator.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi quickly understood the reason.

According to his teacher, when breaking through to the Legendary level, one needed to merge the pet’s domain with the Beast Master’s Beast Control Space, which meant a Legendary Beast Master would naturally emit a unique aura of their pet.

And here, both the Grave Guard Legend and Lin Fugui were Legendary figures of the Insect System, their auras indistinguishable from those of Legendary Insect Beasts. Hence, these poisonous insects were naturally terrified.

After a long walk, Lin Fugui suddenly stopped and pointed towards a hemisphere-shaped pit with a radius around ten meters, saying, “Here we are.”

“Here?”

Bai Qi curiously looked at the large pit a few times, asking, “What’s the plan?”

“The Poison Valley is primarily used for training poisonous insect pets, but the insect pets that can survive here and be contracted certainly can’t be mere common ones.”

A red flush appeared on Lin Fugui’s pale face as he said, “And here, this is where we select the strongest poisonous insects.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fugui summoned a pure white spider with scythe-like limbs.

A Legendary Insect Beast: Scythe of Death.

The moment the Scythe of Death appeared, all the surrounding insect pets prostrated on the ground, motionless. When the Scythe of Death waved its claws, they rushed into the large pit one after another.

What followed was a fierce bout of slaughter.

Once inside the pit, these insect pets seemed to forget their innate skills and used fangs, sharp claws, tail spikes…

They brought their inherent talents to the fullest, showcasing a primitive battle before Bai Qi and the others.

Gradually, failures started appearing among these poisonous insects, all of whom met the same fate.

They were eaten by the other poisonous insects.

“Poison Valley, certainly living up to its expected practice of raising poisonous gu~”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. He had made associations based on the name ‘Poison Valley,’ and surprisingly, things were actually unfolding just as he’d thought.

“Exactly, it’s about raising gu.”

Lin Fugui clarified, “Only by devouring a sufficient amount of toxins can the insect pet become strongest. It can even activate some hidden bloodlines deep within.”

“Using poison to stimulate the awakening of the bloodline?”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi couldn’t help but think of Gamma. Back then, he had also tried something similar to accelerate Gamma’s resistance to various miscellaneous abilities.

However, using intense poison to awaken bloodline was indeed a novel concept.

Seeing Bai Qi’s surprised expression, Lin Fugui couldn’t help but laugh, “Although it seems a bit crude, this is indeed the most direct and effective method of selection.”

As he spoke, Lin Fugui pointed at the pit. At this point, the battle inside had already decided the ultimate victor — a bright red scorpion.

Crack, crack, crack…

The scorpion was clearly frenzied, and after noticing the lack of enemies within its vicinity, it turned its attention to Bai Qi and the others.

“Looks like we have another uncontrollable one.”

Seeing this, Lin Fugui seemed a bit disappointed. He took an egg-like peculiar flute from his pocket and blew it.

Roar!!!

At that moment, a strange roar echoed in Bai Qi’s mind from a distance. Nicholas, who had been momentarily dazed, suddenly came to his senses and looked towards the sky with alertness.

A beast resembling a giant dragon, yet having only two legs and covered in a chitinous shell, flew in from a distance and landed in the large pit.

“This figure, a bipedal dragon?”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately associated it with some creatures from his memory. However, after observing the remaining insect features on its body, he understood.

This must be the Dragon-blooded of the Cangzhe Academy, right?

The bipedal dragon seemed very interested in the red scorpion within the pit. It walked in circles around it before proactively nearing it.

Unfortunately, the red scorpion had lost control, and fearlessly attacked the bipedal dragon, clearly superior in strength.

The pity was that the red scorpion’s attack didn’t manage to harm the bipedal dragon and was instead swallowed by it in one gulp.

Hiss hiss…

Colorful toxins dripped to the ground as the bipedal dragon gnawed, corroding small pits. Clearly, the red scorpion’s blood also carried a potent toxin.

However, the bipedal dragon was unfazed and seemed to eat with even more fervor.

“Bai Qi, this creature too carries the bloodline of our dragon race. Although it’s very thin, after eating the scorpion it seems to have become a little purer.” Nicholas quietly shared his view, and Bai Qi suddenly comprehended.

In addition to breeding poisonous insects, another purpose of Poison Valley was to feed this bipedal dragon, wasn’t it?

But, could swallowing poisonous insects make the bloodline more pure?

Or is it that the poisonous insects here were special?

Bai Qi was puzzled but couldn’t come up with an answer.

Roar roar~

After eating the red scorpion, the bipedal dragon still seemed unsatisfied. It turned its attention to the other toxic insects around it. Lin Fugui didn’t mind and let the Scythe of Death summon more poisonous insects for the dragon to consume.

Toxic fluid continually spilled out, creating pits in the large pit, revealing the soil beneath. From the soil, green gases began to rise, slowly merging into the bipedal dragon’s body.

After absorbing these green gases, changes began to occur on the bipedal dragon. Some features typical to insect beasts, like the stinging hair and limbs, gradually fell off, leaving only those typical of the Dragon Race.

“Bai Qi, this dragon detected a familiar scent in those green gases!” Nicholas suddenly became serious and relayed his thoughts to Bai Qi.

“The residual scent on this gas seems somewhat similar to us, the Green Dragons.”

“Green Dragon Bloodline?”@@novelbin@@

Bai Qi’s expression became serious, and he turned his gaze towards the distant Thunder Mountain without thinking.

Earlier, Yang Ming said that the entire Thunder Mountain was rich in natural power. Could there still be a Green Dragon living in this mountain?

But if that were the case, why had Nicholas not encountered any Green Dragons in the Jade Dream after all these years?

With this thought, Bai Qi and Nicholas exchanged a look, and Nicholas understood immediately. He entered the Jade Dream at once.

If there was a Green Dragon or something related to Green Dragons here, maybe Nicholas could discover something with the help of the Jade Dream.

“Huh? Bai Qi, why has your Guardian Dragon left?” Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs saw Nicholas leaving and was momentarily puzzled.

“Oh, it’s nothing, Nicholas was feeling a bit bored and went back to cultivate.”

Bai Qi made up a random reason, and the Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs didn’t find it strange. He nodded and said, “True, your Guardian Dragon is not too far away from becoming a demi-god. He should indeed concentrate on cultivation.”

“Demi-god? Nicholas?”

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Although he knew Nicholas’s cultivation speed was rapid, he had no idea Nicholas was about to become a demi-god so soon.

A demi-god dragon—didn’t this mean that even if he entered the tribe in the future and came across a Black Dragon….. Well, let’s forget about the Black Dragon for now. At least encountering a Ghost Wolf, a normal legendary beast, or a Death Knight, he wouldn’t be in a disadvantageous position as before.

“To assign a dragon on the verge of transforming into a demi-god as your guardian, Celestial Brilliance indeed values you quite highly.”

The Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs gave Bai Qi a few glances and said, “However, the most secure protection is your own strength. You should quickly advance to become a legend yourself. You don’t have much time left.”

Upon hearing the Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be taken aback. He wanted to ask further, but he saw that the Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs had already turned away, no longer speaking.

After consuming a large number of poisonous insects, the bipedal dragon finally stopped. Even though it still seemed unsatisfied, it had absorbed a large amount of green gas and toxins, and indeed needed time to recover.

“Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs, Master Bai Qi, what do you think of this bipedal dragon?” Lin Fugui asked the two men.

“Training a Dragon-blooded insect beast to become a dragon pet, the Cangzhe Academy has indeed not given up on the founder’s goal.” The Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs laughed and said, “In comparison, our Yixiu family has been somewhat slack over the years, failing our ancestors.”

“You’re too modest, Legendary Beast Master of the Tombs. If it weren’t for trying to catch up with the Yixiu family, our Cangzhe Academy would not have thought of such an extreme method.”

Lin Fugui shook his head and watching the bipedal dragon flying towards its nest, said, “Moreover, merely creatures of this caliber, they are far from the target set by the founder.”
