Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 251: Chapter 247: The Contrast Between Ice and Fire

Seeing Zhao Hai’s defeat, Lilith couldn’t help wanting to step forward again, but Dean seemed determined to see Bai Qi’s limit, and he still didn’t agree to let Lilith join the fight.

Lilith didn’t say anything, and the other Beast Masters of the Thirteenth Bureau finally couldn’t stand it anymore, one after the other, stepped up to the challenge.

As for the result, it was obvious.

Crunch crunch.

(Master, there are so many flavors of energy here, Gamma likes these competitions!)

After defeating six Beast Masters in a row, although Gamma had also improved a lot by using the Evolution Egg, he was a bit lonely without fodder.

“That’s fine, just eat slowly.”

Bai Qi chuckled, looking at the Baili Hanhai who was slowly stepping onto the stage, said, “Long time no see.”

“Indeed, it’s been along time…”

Without Baili Huangmo to finish his sentence, Baili Hanhai’s speech seemed a bit strange, but Bai Qi didn’t mind as they had done tasks together before. “Shall we begin?”

“No…”

Bai Li Hanhai nodded, two arrays appeared in front of him, but not his main pet, the White Ice Boa, rather two pupae that looked similar but had completely opposite auras.

[Name]: Ice Crust Pupa

[Nature]: Insect Class

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice and Fire bugs by splitting. It has ice attributes.

[Name]: Fire Armor Pupa

[Nature]: Insect Class

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice and Fire bugs by splitting. It has fire attributes.

“Ice and fire attribute? Is it going to cooperate with itself?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrow at this. The Baili Brothers were best at Ice and Fire Combination Tactics, and he didn’t expect that they would still play this way after being separated.

As soon as the Ice and Fire bugs appeared, they began the attack. They didn’t adopt the strong attack strategy like previous challengers, but each spat out bug silk wrapped with ice and fire attributes around Gamma.

Not only that, but the two types of enchanted bug silk ignored the conflict between the attributes and entwined in perfect harmony, apparently ignoring the burning effect of the Sacrificial Aura.

“Ice and Fire Fusion Silk?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. Although it wasn’t the same powerful Ice and Fire amalgam that the two brothers used before, this kind of fusion silk was quite troublesome. The feeling of being wrapped in it…

However, Gamma didn’t seem to care about the ice and fire attributes carried by these bug silks. Its resistances to these two elements had long been perfected, and the damage had been reduced to a minimum, slower than its self-recovery speed.

Therefore, under everyone’s speechless gaze, Gamma had started to consume the bug silk in a relaxed manner, its enjoyment of the food made the surrounding audience hungry.

“What should we do, I suddenly feel like having noodles.”

Zhou Yan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, seemingly also wanting to take a bite of this Ice and Fire bug silk. The others, like Xiao Yuan, just gave a helpless smile.

“Bai Qi’s slime monster is getting freakier and freakier.”

As Gamma’s first opponent, Xiao Yuan had personally witnessed Gamma’s growth.

From the beginning of enveloping and absorbing energy, to later using a blood­sucking Aura, and now even starting to eat opponent pet’s bug silk.

Xiao Yuan couldn’t help wondering, if Bai Qi could train it into a legendary creature, then was there anything that Gamma couldn’t consume?

“But doesn’t Bai Qi seem a bit too careless, it’s obvious that the opponent is stalling for time.”

Bai Qiucha glanced at the Ice and Fire bugs, which were still spitting silk and even wrapping themselves up, and seemed to realize something.

“The Ice and Fire bugs can not only split and evolve into two completely independent individuals, but they can also converge in a short time to become a stronger individual. Perhaps the opponent intended to fight Bai Qi with a fused body from the very beginning?”

Lu Qing quickly found data on Ice and Fire bugs in his memory and said, “If Bai Qi doesn’t plan ahead, the skills used by the fused Ice and Fire bugs may not be defended by ordinary resistance.”

“It looks like Bai Qi knows his opponent. Perhaps he has some other plan?”

Bai Qiucha glanced at Bai Qi, who looked quite relaxed, and showed full confidence in him. The others also agreed on this.

If anyone here would pull a clever trick out of their sleeve, it should be Bai Qi-

However, although everyone had high expectations of Bai Qi, he didn’t have any new tactics in mind, but let Gamma do his thing freely.

Gamma’s resistance skills had long been maxed out, but there was no sign of it waking up anytime soon.

According to the Skill Atlas, being in a high concentration of nature for enough time would likely lead to awakening. Prolonged periods weren’t feasible for now, but an escalated intensity seemed to be enough.

If they could awaken one or two resistance skills and then upgrade them to elemental resistance, there might be some unexpected gains.

“What’s the deal with Bai Qi? Is he going easy on them because they’re old acquaintances?”

From the Thirteenth Bureau, Tangmiao scratched his head with curiosity. He didn’t understand Bai Qi’s plan. Wang Huai glanced at Bai Qi with a scrutinising look and said, “Perhaps Bai Qi is brewing some plans. Hanhai should speed up his actions; otherwise, I’m worried he won’t last till fusion.”

Due to the weakened effect of the Sacrifical Aura, the Deadly Poison Aura had a mediocre effect on the insect system. So, Gamma rather single-mindedly recalled the other two auras, exerting his Energy Absorption Aura fully.

Because of this, the power of the Energy Absorption Aura was maximized. The dual-nature energy attached to the Ice and Fire silk within its coverage area slowly dimmed.

Undoubtedly, it was absorbed by the Energy Absorption Aura.

“It’s ready.”

At that moment, Baili Huangmo suddenly spoke, and echoed from Baili Hanhai, two worm cocoons burst open, a blue butterfly and a red moth crawled out.

[Name]: Ice Wind Butterfly

[Nature]: Insect System

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord

[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice Crust Pupa. It can summon the wind of extreme ice, frost everything.

[Name]: Flame Moth

[Nature]: Insect System

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord

[Introduction]: Evolved from Fire Armor Pupa. It can use its extremely high body temperature to attack enemies.

“They can evolve during combat? That’s a bit like Delta.”

Bai Qi’s interest was piqued as he watched Baili Hanhai’s two bugs evolve.

He would have to be vigilant of these pet resources in the future. Perhaps he could find a way for Delta to evolve or extend its evolution.

After successful evolution, Baili Hanhai changed his earlier dawdling combat style, launching a fierce attack on Gamma.

The Flame Moth was the first to act. The moment it broke out of the cocoon, it flew straight towards Gamma. The light along its way twisted due to its body’s high temperature.

The Flame Moth, even though it was an insect, had extremely strong close­range combat skills, with its high temperature being the most potent weapon.

Gamma sensed the high temperature of the Flame Moth’s body and reluctantly let go of the Ice and Fire bug silk, beginning to consciously enhance his defense.

Passive skills were different when consciously invoked.

The Flame Moth rammed directly into Gamma. The terrifying high temperature immediately burned Gamma’s body into a bright red area that kept spreading. Green heat waves even appeared above Gamma’s head.

Although Gamma had flame resistance, it mainly immuned from the burning effect. High-temperature damage like a Flame Moth’s was still effective.

But Gamma’s constitution was a bit abnormal. In just a short moment, his body gradually adapted. His once bright red body gradually returned to its original jade-green appearance.

However, Baili Hanhai’s attackwasn’t just that. Seeing Gamma adapt to the Flame Moth’s high temperature so quickly, the ready Ice Wind Butterfly forcefully flapped its wings, and a bitter cold wind came out of thin air, blowing towards Gamma.

This cold wind was sudden and dreadfully low in temperature. The ground that was about to melt under the Flame Moth’s heat was instantly covered in frost and began to crack.

Faced with such a sudden temperature change, even steel might not be able to withstand it, let alone ordinary soil.

After the Ice Wind Butterfly summoned the ultra-cold wind, Flame Moth suddenly attacked, clutching Gamma tightly to prevent him from escaping and increasing the force to raise the temperature of Gamma’s body.

If the difference in temperature on both sides was large enough, even Gamma with his strong defense couldn’t withstand it.

Indeed, as the ultra-cold wind fell on Gamma, a thick layer of ice immediately covered Gamma’s bright red body. Both Gamma and Flame Moth, wrapped inside the ice block, showed fine cracks.

Soon, the ice shattered, Gamma’s body, frozen into an ice block, fell apart. But the Flame Moth just shook off its outer shell and crawled out, unscathed.

They both split from the same mother body, naturally having the ability to counter the other’s skills. Otherwise, killing each other would be foolish.

“So, did Bai Qi lose?”

Looking at the unmoving Gamma on the ground, everyone else was a bit confused. But since Leng Feifei didn’t announce the result, they dared not comment randomly.

After all, there were no rules as regards the number of summoned pets for this challenge. Unless one party chose to admit defeat, or all pets were incapacitated, the competition won’t easily be announced as over.

Unlike everyone else’s curiosity, Bai Qi was extremely calm. “I thought you’d directly forge into an Ice and Fire bug and then attack. I didn’t expect you to play so well. You’ re indeed from the special attack crew.”

Bai Qi gave a thumbs up to Baili Hanhai, who seemed to grasp something. He immediately let the two bugs gather again, watching Gamma’s fragments on the field warily.

To everyone’s surprise, the ice-cold fragments slowly melted and wriggled back together, the look on the face was full of contentment.

Squelch. Squelch.

(Master, can you make two rooms similar to this for Gamma in the future, please? Gamma feels so comfortable.)
