Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 392:
Chapter 392: Chapter 388: The Twelve Guardians
Bai Qi curiously looked at the Blood Cat scolding Li Xusheng, unable to suppress his curiosity.
“Minister Yi, may I ask where Li Xusheng’s bloodline originates from?”
Yi Yu chuckled and said, “Of course, after all, this isn’t something that needs to be kept a secret.”
Saying so, Yi Yu pointed at the twelve statues encircling the Great Hall and said, “These are the statues of the oldest twelve guardians of Eden. These guardians have been protecting humanity from a thousand years ago, until the establishment of the federation, and they never left. Xusheng’s bloodline comes from one of them.”
“The bloodline of the twelve Guardians?”
Bai Qi was startled upon hearing this and looked over at Li Xusheng, who was looking hapless under the scolding of the Blood Cat.
No wonder Li Xusheng could fuse four pets simultaneously. It was this powerful bloodline that gave Li Xusheng this abnormal physique.
“So, which one specifically?”
Bai Qi was more curious. The creatures represented by the twelve Guardian statues were all very peculiar, considering that Ye Shijiu and now Ye 107 were different creatures, Bai Qi really couldn’t make a judgement.
Seeing this, Yi Yu chuckled and said, “It’s him, the Blood Guardian, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor.”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor?
Why does this name sound a bit like a vampire?
Bai Qi looked where Yi Yu pointed and saw a… orange cat wrapped in a cloak?
“Minister Yi, are you sure, this is the Eternal Night Blood Emperor?”
Yi Yu nodded, laughing, “Don’t be so surprised, after all, blood control is not a patent of a specific race, right?”
“I guess so.”
Understanding, an image of an orange cat wearing a cloak, roaming the night mightily drinking blood floated up in Bai Qi’s mind.
It’s not right, the more he thought about it, the weirder it got.
Bai Qi shook his head to clear this image out of his mind while beside him, Ye 107 finally stopped lecturing Li Xusheng, saying, “I’m sorry, I lost track of time while talking, please follow me.”
“Alright.”
Yi Yu nodded and followed while Bai Qi got closer to Li Xusheng, and quietly asked, “Is it okay to ask how many grandfathers and grandmothers you have?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Xusheng coldly grunted and shook off Bai Qi. Bai Qi looked at him, full of gossip.
Could it be a total of 108 generations?
Under the leadership of the Blood Cat, the three quickly arrived at their respective quarters.
“This is the place reserved for the Thirteenth Bureau, just make yourself at home, anyway, the guys from the Zero Team will definitely go back to their parents’ houses.”
The Blood Cat licked its paw, leaping on Li Xusheng, “Xusheng, come with me to see your great-grandfather.”
“I’m practicing, not going.”
Li Xusheng pushed off the Blood Cat and walked directly into his own room.
“This kid, still so awkward.”
The Blood Cat yawned and didn’t force it. It turned into a blood light and disappeared.
“Minister Yi, are the Guardian families all so… prosperous with pets?”
Looking at the departing Blood Cat, Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask.
Yi Yu shook his head and said, “Not all, it’s just the personal preference of the Eternal Night Blood Emperor. The offspring of other guardians are relatively scarce.”
“I see…”
Having said this, Bai Qi understood. However, thinking of Ye Shijiu and Ye 107 – these two completely different species – he couldn’t help but exclaim.
Indeed, they were worthy of being one of the Twelve Oldest Guardians of Eden, directly ignoring reproductive isolation, almost catching up with the Eastern Dragon Clan.
“Oh? I didn’t expect to meet you here, Bai Qi. That’s quite a pleasant surprise.”
Just then, a familiar voice came from one side. Bai Qi looked over to see a handsome blond-haired, green-eyed young man walking slowly towards him, followed by a man and a woman.
“Dean Berg?”
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, indeed, the Berg family also came to participate.
Hmm, would it be too direct to issue a challenge now?
But I really want Gamma to eat another Angel’s Wing.
Bai Qi’s face showed a hint of struggle, while Yi Yu next to him suddenly showed a mysterious smile, saying, “I won’t disturb your young people’s communication, I’ll leave first.”
Dean nodded, looking at Bai Qi again, “We didn’t have much time to chat at the Sun Secret Realm last time. This time, we finally have a chance.”
“Communicate? No problem!”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, wishing he could pull Dean into a battlefield right now and have a fight.
“Hahaha…that’s good. Perhaps we’ll have the opportunity at the evening party.”
The evening party?
It seemed that dinner tonight wouldn’t be so easy to get through.
“We still need to see the Guardians, we’ll talk later.”
Dean exchanged pleasantries with Bai Qi for a few more moments before leaving, backed by Bai Qi.
Bai Qi wasn’t actually familiar with the Dean family. If he wasn’t craving their Angel’s Wing, he probably wouldn’t bother with them much.
Dean led the way out, followed closely by Lilith and Ellis. However, as she passed Bai Qi, Lilith suddenly turned her head and glared viciously at Bai Qi.
“I will defeat you!”
Bai Qi noticed the shape of Lilith’s lips, shrugged his shoulders, and acknowledged her bearing of grudges. It saved him from having to find an excuse.
Seeing the three of them leave, Bai Qi turned around and returned to his room.
“Phew~ Finally, I can rest in peace.”
Bai Qi lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the soft bedding underneath him. He tried to relax his body as much as possible, but his mind was beginning to churn with thoughts.
The progress on the Platinum Eggs was stuck at 99%, which he had perfectly topped up in Eden.
However, he had to strive for an opportunity to get close to the Guardians. After all, he wasn’t sure if he could fill them up like when he first met Jiuyou Darkbird, just through their aura.
Furthermore, there were so many pets here, he wondered if there were any channels to exchange resources. If possible, he would have to grind some.
With high expectations, Bai Qi slowly entered meditation and pushed his Spirit Power towards the limit of a Fifth Stage Beastmaster.
…
Knock, knock, knock!
The knocking sound interrupted Bai Qi’s meditation. He got up, reached the door, and opened it to see Xusheng standing at his door.
“The banquet is about to start, the Minister has asked us to get there.”
After he finished speaking, Xusheng directly walked away.
Why did this person seem awkward after coming to Eden? He seemed fine the last time they met.
Bai Qi shook his head, quickly caught up, and arrived in the Great Hall.
At that moment, the Great Hall was crowded with all kinds of creatures. However, they were all sitting neatly in their respective positions, making Dean and the others sitting at the front seem particularly conspicuous.
Bai Qi followed Li Xusheng to the Thirteenth Bureau’s seat. Minister Yi and the five people from Zero Team were already waiting there.
“Xusheng, why are you so late? The Guardians will be here soon.”
Wang Chuan waved at Xusheng, “Did you oversleep?”
“Sort of.”
Xusheng still didn’t seem interested in engaging Wang Chuan. He found his spot, sat down, and stopped talking. Wang Chuan, finding nothing strange about it, switched his target and ran in front of Bai Qi, “Bai Qi, were you resting? It’s a pity, I wanted to take you around Eden.”
“Thank you, maybe next time.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, and Wang Chuan seemed excited. He eagerly said, “Soon we will see the twelve Guardians of the Federation. I am so excited, what about you, Bai Qi?”
“Hmm.”
The corner of Bai Qi’s mouth twitched. Seeing Wang Chuan, who was talking to himself, he suddenly understood why Xusheng didn’t want to interact with Wang Chuan.
“All right, Wang Chuan, shut up. The Guardians are here.”
Finally, Tan Lang stopped Wang Chuan’s chatter and redirected everyone’s attention to the twelve large stone chairs at the front of the Great Hall.
Without them realizing, twelve differently sized figures had appeared on the previously empty stone chairs. They were all hidden in the fog, appearing and disappearing, making it impossible to see what was behind the fog.
Among them, Bai Qi recognized one at a glance.
Cloaked in a cape, hidden in the blood fog.
If it wasn’t the Eternal Night Blood Emperor, then who could it be?
“So this is the reliance humans depend on for survival.”
Feeling the oppressive aura of the twelve Guardians, Bai Qi heard a cracking sound in his mind, and the progress of the Evolution Egg finally reached one hundred percent.
Finally, he had topped up the Evolution Egg.
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He had clearly felt the bottleneck of his Spirit Power and now only his physique was left.
If Gamma could smoothly evolve into a King Creature here, the physical exhaustion and feedback should be enough to boost him to the Sixth Stage.
He was looking forward to it more and more.
With the arrival of the twelve Guardians, all the humans and pets in the Great Hall gradually quieted down, their eyes focused on the twelve chairs in the front.
After a brief moment of silence, a figure seated in the central position slowly stood up, and the body initially enveloped in the fog gradually revealed itself.
It was a tall woman wearing red.
“Such a strong aura,”
The moment Bai Qi saw the woman, he immediately felt an invisible pressure. His body involuntarily tightened as if he was being watched by some terrifying creature.
The last time he felt this kind of momentum was probably when he saw Old Lady Fan.
This red-dressed woman probably existed on the same level as Old Lady Fan!
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the annual New Year’s banquet in Eden. I don’t like small talk, so let’s celebrate!”
Roar, roar, roar…
In an instant, there was cheering all around the Great Hall. Numerous black figures flashed in the Great Hall. In the blink of an eye, each empty table was filled with exquisite food.
“Uh, are we just going to eat right away? Weren’t there supposed to be some activities?”
Bai Qi was completely bewildered, looking at all the people feasting around him, he was somewhat dazed.
What about the promised SSS Level Task? What about preparing for the banquet with enough spirit and energy?
So, their task was just to eat till they were full?
This didn’t feel like New Year at all.
