Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 702: Chapter 697: Opening Ceremony

Western Region of the Federation.

Military Zone.

Bai Heguang nodded slightly after hearing Bai Qi’s thoughts.

“We’ve already investigated what you mentioned, and, indeed, the Death Round Table is behind the tribes uniting so quickly.”

“So, it really is like that.”

Bai Qi understood at once and said, “Since the Death Round Table and the tribes are going to wage war, does that mean the Death Round Table is now confident enough to deal with the Federation?”

...

“Like using Dead Beasts?”

“Unless there’s a surprise, it should be.”

Wang Chen walked in from outside, looked at the somewhat surprised Bai Qi, and laughed. “Fortunately, we have a genius inventor like you here. If the Death Round Table just plans to rely on Dead Beasts to wage war, it might be in for a bit of trouble.”

“King Legendary.”

Bai Qi bowed slightly, “Is there enough time given how rushed everything is?”

Bai Qi did not keep the formula for Empty Star Gold to himself, but generously published it. Yet, he worried there was not enough time to prepare given the short period.

“You’re a mechanic, don’t underestimate the productivity of machinery.”

Wang Chen patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, “There’s still nearly half a month till the war begins. That’s enough time.”

“That’s good.”

Bai Qi sighed with relief. He still hadn’t found an effective way to eradicate the Death Virus. If Dead Beasts were allowed to take part in the war without the Star Weapon, it would be extremely detrimental to the Federation.

“Starlight, how is the defense construction in other areas going? I am still somewhat concerned about the scene foreseen by Bai Qi’s beast.”

Upon hearing Bai Heguang’s words, the smile on Wang Chen’s face quickly vanished, and he spoke with a straight face.

“To be fair, Yi Yu also saw several scenes. But as the other few scenes were too far in the future, he couldn’t confirm them.”

“So, it’s highly likely that the scene Bai Qi saw was real.”

A cold light flashed in Bai Heguang’s eyes, “I’ll inform the association right away to assist with setting up defenses elsewhere.”

“That would be best.”

Wang Chen nodded slightly, then turned to Bai Qi again, “Bai Qi, since you have already developed the Star armament, have you considered designing a Star mech? Like my ‘Morning Star’?”

“I would like to, but the Empty Star Gold does not inherently have the Star Attribute. If it’s designed into a thermal weapon, the stored Celestial Power may dissipate faster due to the influence of the thermal weapon’s energy, losing its original effect.”

Bai Qi shook his head, but then his eyes gleamed as he looked at the smiling Wang Chen, “However, if the legendary King is willing to provide some guidance, it might be possible.”

“Of course, that’s not a problem. I’m also quite interested in your rune system.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen placed an arm around Bai Qi’s neck, dragging him toward the research room.

“Lao Bai, I’ll leave this place to you then. I will take Bai Qi with me.”

“Hmm.”

Surprisingly, Bai Heguang didn’t object. He quietly left the room and looked over at Bai Qiucha and the others standing outside the room, “The three of you come with me. We are going to undergo a brief intensive training.”

“Training? Uncle, are we about to… cough, cough. Rest assured, Uncle, I will put my best effort into it!”

…

Sunlight fell from the sky, reflecting off the immense war machines and casting a frosty sheen. Busy soldiers directed their beasts in an orderly manner, gradually reinforcing the defense line.

After over twenty years of peace, war was poised to break out again. The more prepared they were, the more hope they had for survival in the upcoming battles.

“The Federation has set up so much. I wonder if the tribes will come as expected.”

Bai Yuxiao, leaned against an enormous cannon, looking at the far-reaching defense lines and wondered out loud.

“They will surely come. But how many of them, that’s hard to say.”

Bai Qiucha stared deeply at the distant, dark sky, “And from the intelligence we’ve gathered so far, a large part of the tribal forces would likely be concentrated here.”

“Alright then…”

Bai Yuxiao sighed helplessly, her expression somewhat complex.

When she had first heard the news, she was definitely thrilled, even looking forward to the outbreak of the war as an opportunity to showcase what she had learned at the Ruined Wall.

However, upon arriving at the front lines and feeling the mounting pressure, Bai Yuxiao had become increasingly agitated.

“Don’t be nervous. Compared to our last generation, our powers are already incredibly strong.”

Seeing this, Bai Yuxiao chuckled and pointed to the sky above.

Under the azure sky, several fighter jets were continuously circling. Above them was an entity appearing slowly, large enough to obscure the sky itself.

The Federation’s largest observation and war machine, the Snare.

“That’s true. After all, I am now a Fifth Stage Beast Master. If Beast Masters who are only at the second or third stage are all at the front line, how could I back down?”

Bai Yuxiao got her confidence back almost immediately. She looked around and asked, “Where’s Zhuge Chen?”

Bai Qiucha shook his head, “I’m not sure. However, I noticed earlier that people from the Super God Evolution Research Institute also arrived. They might have something to handle.”

“Hmm, Zhuge Chen lacks actual combat experience, he indeed is not suitable for the front lines.”

Bai Yuxiao nodded slightly, about to say something, when he suddenly felt the ground beneath him tremble. Subsequently, he heard a burst of urgent alarms.

“Enemy attack! All personnel, prepare for combat!”

Roar!!!

Two voices rang out simultaneously. Whether they were already on the boundary, or soldiers transporting supplies, they summoned their beasts in an instant, taking their battle positions.

“They are really here!”

Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other’s eyes.

According to Yi Yu’s prophecy, the tribe would launch an attack on this day. Federal soldiers naturally made preparations early. Although they were in the rear combat readiness area, they could not let their guard down.

Both summoned their beasts to take to the skies at the same time, seeing missiles already flying out from the underground launcher, heading west. Their targets, astonishingly, were a black wall seemingly obscuring the sky.

This was not some advanced technology, but an illusion caused by countless ferocious beasts accumulated.

Beast Tide.

An unprecedented Beast Tide!

If an SSS-rank Beast Tide was to destroy a certain area, the target of this Beast Tide was to annihilate humans from the start. The so-called SSS-rank could only be laughably trivial in front of this Beast Tide.

Boom boom boom!

The missiles fell like a torrential downpour, the massive roaring noise drowning out the roars of the beasts. Blood-red mist steamed up, rendering the black wall red.

But before the second wave of missile bombardment could arrive, a series of angry roars emerged from the Beast Tide. Subsequently, several flying system ferocious beasts sprang from the group, flapping their wings vigorously, rolling up fierce winds to form a wind wall, surprisingly blocking the path of the advancing missiles.

“Just as planned…”

A mutter came from behind Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao. Looking back, they saw a giant mech appearing out of thin air, and standing on the shoulder of the mech was Wang Chen.

“King Legendary, you came out? Where’s Bai Qi?”

“He’s still tinkering with his research, probably will come out in a bit.”

Wang Chen stretched lazily, “Let’s take care of our end first. I’m curious to see how long those tribe old-timers can hold on.”

Just as he finished speaking, Bai Qiucha and the others heard wailing from a distance, and they immediately turned their heads.

They saw missiles held up by the wind wall still hanging in the air, but not exploding directly as the beasts had anticipated. Instead, they extended numerous small gun ports, firing powerful rays that directly pierced through the bodies of a large number of surrounding flying beasts.

“After so many years, the thought process of beasts is still quite predictable~”

Seeing wave after wave of long-range weapons falling into the Beast Tide according to plan, Wang Chen’s smile grew even brighter.

“The Federation is indeed quite powerful!”

Upon seeing this scene, both Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao were somewhat excited.

No matter who it was, witnessing the strength of their own side would surely inspire them, right?

“Don’t get cocky just yet, they’re just cannon fodder.”

Just then, Bai Heguang suddenly appeared from the side. Looking at the Beast Tide that was still advancing, he said, “Let’s get right down to business. It’s not good for us if this drags on.”

“Don’t worry, everything is prepared.”

Wang Chen snapped his fingers, several thick light columns descended from the sky, mercilessly covering the Beast Tide. The black wall that originally obscured the sun and sky suddenly disappeared, clearing the sky and land.

But before Bai Yuxiao and the others could express their astonishment, the earth suddenly cracked open, a gigantic beast drilled out from beneath the missile launch pad, destroying most of the weapons in an instant. A series of explosions landed on it but didn’t seem to inflict any damage.

“A Demi-God Beast, Burrowing Mountain Rat, the tribe actually sent this guy out.”

“Stop pretending, didn’t you foresee this?”

Bai Heguang let out a cold humph. With a slight stomp of his right foot, the Jiuyou Darkbird’s body suddenly enlarged. It then turned into a dark light and appeared in front of the Burrowing Mountain Rat, and without uttering a single word, pushed it flying.

“Why so impatient? At least wait for the resources I arranged to come into play…”

Seeing this, Wang Chen shrugged. Watching the beasts that had directly infiltrated the defensive line through the tunnels dug by the Burrowing Mountain Rat, a mocking look appeared in his eyes.

“No matter how much they evolve, beasts will always be beasts. After so much fighting, they haven’t noticed that there are not even half a human there…”

No sooner had he spoken than numerous metallic pillars rose hundreds of meters high from the underground. They scattered across the paths of the beasts.

Then, without waiting for the beasts to destroy it, fine laser lines fired from the metallic pillars, precisely landing on another pillar. Any beast that came into contact with the lines were invariably sliced in half.

Such lines spread across the entire battlefield in an instant, whether underground or in the sky. As long as the beasts were not out of the coverage area of the metal pillars, they were all cut into pieces.

Exclusive Annihilation Weapon of the Snare, Ground Net!

“This… why do I feel like I’m not needed at all?”

Bai Yuxiao was completely stunned by the power demonstrated by the Snare and felt somewhat disheartened.

“You’re overthinking it, the war has just begun.”

Wang Chen shook his head, then sat in the driver’s seat of the Morning Star and flew forward.

Another wave of beasts descended.
