Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 335
Chapter 335: Chapter 331: The Snake Biting its Tail
The Beast Soul Warriors seemed to be searching for something, braving the biting cold winds of Taize Lake, they quickly moved away from the lakeside and arrived at the center of the lake.
The further away from the lakeside, the colder the temperature on Taize Lake became. The few Beast Soul Warriors apparently couldn’t resist, and one by one, they summoned their Martial Souls to resist the cold.
Roaring…
This prompted some unknown entities. The ice under the feet of the Beast Soul Warriors suddenly shook violently. Cracks spread across the ice like a spider web. Through the cracks, one could vaguely see a massive ring-shaped shadow slowly rising from under the ice.
“Are we being chased by this thing?”
Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows, wanting to take a close look at the shape of the ring. Just then, Dreamland suddenly disconnected, and Bai Qi returned to his original position.
“Why is there no more, where is the subsequent Dreamland?”
Bai Qi looked at the insect grass, his eyes are somewhat expectant.
Taize Lake was said to not be frosted all year round, it also was a huge lake that nourished countless lives. But nobody knew why it suddenly turned into its present form.
Looking at the current situation, maybe he could discover something through the eyesight of these Beast Soul Warriors.
“No more.”
The insect grass shook its head and said, “They seemed to have been strongly shocked, and the relevant memory was suppressed by the Slave Contract. I am unable to probe further.”
“I see, let’s forget it.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. Because of his previous encounter in Nile City, Bai Qi specifically asked Luo Xiang some questions about the Beast Soul Warriors.
The reason why these Beast Soul Warriors were able to blend into the Federation without being discovered, besides their superb acting skills, the Slave Contract also played a very important role.
Whenever Beast Soul Warriors encountered some special situations, the contract would interfere to keep them calm and not reveal their identities. If they were to probe forcibly, the contract would even directly destroy the soul of the Beast Soul Warriors.
Looks like the thing in Taize Lake was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, these Beast Soul Warriors would not have been so frantic to the point of forgetting to hide their identities.
Bai Qi touched his chin and took out the task board for a glance. Sure enough, he found a ferocious beast living near Taize Lake.
“Well, it’s on the way. Let’s go and take a look.”
After eating and drinking to their fill, of course, they need to move around to help with digestion. Bai Qi kept the task board. The pets also knew Bai Qi’s thoughts and efficiently packed up the pots and pans and prepared to set off.
“Bai Qi, where are you going?”
Seeing Bai Qi intending to leave, Wang Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing much, just continuing to complete the homework assigned by the teacher.”
Bai Qi mounted Delta and said, “These Beast Soul Warriors won’t be waking up anytime soon. Could you guys please send them to the nearby association? I’ve already contacted the association.”
After he finished speaking, Bai Qi didn’t wait for their response and disappeared on the spot.
“That guy, he must be hiding something from us.”
Watching Bai Qi leaving, Wang Yun seemed thoughtful and wanted to follow, but looking at her side, a few Beast Soul Warriors chose to give up helplessly.
The issue of Beast Soul Warriors was sensitive. They couldn’t just leave them here. If they didn’t send them to the association soon, who knew what these people would do when they woke up.
“Forget it, let’s go back to Langya City.”
Wang Yun made up her mind quickly, while Li Shi, who was slightly scared, nodded his head in agreement with Wang Yun’s view.
“Yes, we don’t know if there are other Beast Soul Warriors active nearby. We should not run around.”
“Alright, let’s send these guys back first.”
Seeing the situation, Wu Yi sighed helplessly, agreeing with the two’s views, and then looked somewhat unwillingly in the direction Bai Qi disappeared.
It hasn’t been long since they met, and it felt like they had to look up to this guy. Perhaps the next time they met, this guy would have become the top combat power of the Federation.
It seemed a little too much to think about…
Wu Yi laughed at himself and then summoned his pet to carry the few Beast Soul Warriors and set off on the way they came.
…
Taize Lake.
The Ice Pincer Crab fell to the ground without strength while the insect grass crawled out of the Ice Pincer Crab’s brain with satisfaction.
“Chief, this Ice Pincer Crab seems to not have noticed any changes, but it seems to have seen those Beast Soul Warriors running through its territory, it seems to be a bit panicked.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded, his heart filled with more doubts.
The thing that scared them like this must not be simple, but if it was really a terrifying beast, it shouldn’t have let those Beast Soul Warriors escape.
“Schuck, did your scout bee find anything?”
Schuck shook his head and said, “I found the place, but I haven’t found anything unusual for now.”
“Tsk … then I’ll have to go and see for myself. Beta, brace yourself. If you notice anything off, we run immediately.”
Arrooo?
(If that’s the case, then why don’t we just not go at all?)
Bang!
Before the words fell, Bai Qi slammed a fist on Beta’s head, saying, “You will still feel hungry after you eat, so why don’t you just stop eating?”
Arrooo…
(I was wrong…)
Upon seeing the dangerous glint in Bai Qi’s eyes, Beta immediately backed down.
A wolf under the eaves must lower its head. The dog food from before was one thing, but now that their meals had finally improved, he couldn’t afford to miss out.
The quartet continued their journey, and the surrounding temperature gradually dropped, but Bai Qi and the others weren’t significantly affected.
“I didn’t expect the Sun Wheel to have such an effect. We won’t need to worry about the cold in the future.”
With the wormwood in Bai Qi’s arms, the cold wind was completely dispersed by the Sun Wheel’s sunny effect, unaffected in the slightest.
“We’re here.”
Schuck, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Bai Qi looked up and was surprised to see a web of fine cracks on the ice surface not far away.
Awooo?
(Such a big crack. Is there a big fish coming out from below?)
Beta curiously sniffed closer, but didn’t find anything unusual. Jerry, after silently sensing for a while, didn’t find anything either.
“I didn’t detect any evidence of powerful spiritual activities. Either the Beast Soul Warriors made a mistake, or there’s something terrifying hidden beneath.”
Hearing Jerry’s words, Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows.
If these Beast Soul Warriors managed to stay hidden till now, they were unlikely to be fools, so the chances of them being mistaken were slim. Perhaps, there really was some powerful being active beneath.
“Schuck, contact the mentor first.”
Bai Qi pondered for a moment but decided not to take the risk.
Now that Alpha wasn’t around, even with Jerry by his side, Bai Qi didn’t feel confident. After all, whatever was beneath could hide from Jerry’s soul perception; it was likely that Jerry wasn’t its match.
Awooo Awooo!
(The big fish is here!)
Just then, Beta suddenly shouted, and the entire ice surface began to shake violently. The already fine cracks spread rapidly, extending in all directions.
“Damn, run!”
Spotting this, Bai Qi immediately smacked Delta beneath him. Delta instantly transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon, lifting Bai Qi into the sky.
However, after the ice surface broke, a cold wind gushed out from the fissure. Bai Qi instantly felt his thoughts slowing. When he woke up, he realized he was about to fall to the ground.
Just a blink, and both he and Delta’s thoughts were frozen by this extreme cold wind?
Bai Qi felt chills run down his spine. Delta also immediately reacted, allowing the cold wind to infiltrate its body and instantly transforming into a giant polar bear, neatly catching Bai Qi.
Blub blub.
(Master, are you alright?)
Delta looked worriedly at Bai Qi in its arms. Bai Qi waved his hand, his gaze firmly fixed on the broken ice surface not far away.
Through the increasingly dense cracks in the ice, Bai Qi could faintly see a ring slowly rising from below. This was generally the same as what he had seen in the memories of the Beast Soul Warrior.
“Prepare for battle. This might be the strongest enemy we have encountered so far.”
Bai Qi’s face was serious. He has already started to contact Alpha through the contract. Meanwhile, Gamma and other beasts also switched into combat mode, vigilantly watching the ring gradually rising beneath the ice.
Finally, the ice shattered, revealing the real identity of the ring.
The ring was entirely gray, its fine scales shimmered an odd light in the sun. Following the cold wind, it rose into the sky. From a distance, it appeared as if the sun was being circled by the ring.
Upon closer inspection, Bai Qi realized that it wasn’t a ring, but a small gray snake biting its tail.
“Be careful. I can’t see its spirit.”
Jerry looked serious, ready for a big battle.
This was the first time it encountered a creature whose spirit it couldn’t see. Even when it faced legendary creatures like Jiuyou Darkbird, it could sense their formidable spirits.
But with the gray snake right in front of it, it detected no spirit. Yet, an unusual feeling was synthetizing, making it impossible for Jerry to treat the gray snake as an ordinary snake.
After all, ordinary snakes couldn’t survive in such cold winds.
Perhaps registering Bai Qi and the others’ presence, the gray snake gradually woke up. It released its tail, revealing a sharp tail similar to a needle. It slowly turned its head, its profound serpentine gaze silently staring at Bai Qi and the others below.
“Did you all disturb my deep sleep?”
The gray snake abruptly spoke. Jerry and Gamma and the other pets became even more alert, ready to act at any time.
Apart from mechanical beings like Schuck or special beings like wormwood and Jerry who communicate directly through their spirits, most pets need to become legendary creatures before they can talk.
In contrast, this seemingly unremarkable grey snake, judging by the way it speaks, seemed to be an old creature that had lived for many years.
Confronting this kind of entity, a careful Jerry didn’t want to act rashly.
“A creature like this was actually hiding beneath Taize Lake!”
Bai Qi bit his lip, hastening the summoning of Alpha while praying for his mentor to hurry.
Seeing Bai Qi and the others showing no intention of retreating, an odd glow flashed in the vertical pupils of the snake’s eyes. It slowly swam towards Bai Qi, and as it approached, that unusual feeling became more potent, making Bai Qi’s nerves increasingly taut.
Finally, the snake came before Bai Qi. It raised its head and stared silently at Bai Qi for a long time, then slowly opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.
Pa!
At that moment, Beta suddenly smacked the snake with its claw. The snake appeared unable to react in time and was directly knocked to the ground.
Instantly, the cold wind abruptly stopped, and the scene was quiet. Only a stunned snake and a curious husky shared a mutual gaze.
