Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 517: Chapter 512: The Tribe’s…Old Classmate?

Seeing Jie Ta lost in thought, Bai Qi and the others also focused their attention, waiting for Jie Ta’s demonstration.

Alpha and Delta, in particular, might have challenged Jie Ta if they did not find his growth level slightly deficient.

Being the second top-tier King in the team and belonging to an elemental mythical species, they could not help but think this wouldn’t be weak at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jie Ta opened his mouth.

Ho-hum ho-hum!

(I forget!)

Bang!

Everyone was left speechless and floored, but when they saw the naive smile on Jie Ta’s face, they simply couldn’t muster any anger.

“Fine, desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Bai Qi stood up, ran his hand through his hair in exasperation and then turned to Beta, saying, “Beta, open your mouth.”

Awooh awooh?

(What are you up to, human? Hmm, this tastes good.)

Beta opened his mouth in confusion, only to feel Bai Qi pouring a cold liquid into his mouth. It was icy cool and tasted quite good.

But very soon, Beta figured it out. He stiffly turned his neck towards Jie Ta and sure enough, saw tears starting to well up in Jie Ta’s eyes.

Ho-hum ho-hum!

(You owe me a drink!)

Jie Ta screeched, and the flame mark on his forehead immediately ignited. He instantly transformed into his Fire Naughty Child form. With a hard smash on the ground with his hands, countless columns of fire shot up into the sky, trapping Beta inside.

Fire Naughty Child – Fiery Flame Prison!

“Miscalculated. Such a commotion, hope it doesn’t attract unnecessary attention.”

Bai Qi saw this and the corners of his mouth twitched, he said.

This was the territory of the tribe. If the ferocious beasts found them and surrounded them, they would have no choice but to hide in the secret realm.

“Don’t worry, chief. I’ve researched this. Below us is a volcano, which used to erupt quite often. It only turned into a snow mountain gradually due to energy shocks and frosty air.”

Wormgrass shook his head, saying, “And, during the non-eruption periods of the Element Gate, there are sometimes outbreaks of fire attribute energy here, so no one will notice.”

“That’s good then.”

Bai Qi nodded, and Beta, who was trapped in the Fiery Flame Prison, had a miserable expression on his face as he pleaded for help.

Awooh awooh!

(Release me quickly. Jie Ta is going to kill a dog!)

Beta activated his Diamond Strength to hold the Fiery Flame Prison back, but the high temperature still made him uncomfortable.

The main issue was that Jie Ta had already formed two Flame Treasure Wheels in his hands and seemed ready to throw them at him.

“Alright, Jie Ta, help him cool down.”

Seeing Beta’s pitiful state, Bai Qi couldn’t help but mediate. Although Jie Ta was furious, he still obeyed Bai Qi’s order very faithfully. His blue mark on his forehead flickered, and steam began to rise from his body, extinguishing the flame.

Then, Jie Ta transformed into Cloud Child, sending chills down Beta’s spine.

Fortunately, Jie Ta didn’t attack Beta again but started to rain instead.

“Good, it seems like he can now freely control his transformation.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. Whether or not one could freely control these states made a huge difference. At least, it was quite good to use this method to put out fires now.

But, the temperature of Fiery Flame Prison was too high, regular rainwater couldn’t put it out. Jie Ta also promptly changed his method.

Then, a gust of Cold Wind blew, and large hailstones began to fall from the sky, aiming straight for Beta.

Awooh awooh!

(Humans, Jie Ta is really going to murder me!)

Watching the giant hailstones fill the sky, Beta felt hopeless. Seeing this, Schuck, who was enjoying the show, couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to intervene.

Play is play, but don’t play yourself to death.

Ho-hum ho-hum~

(Sorry, I didn’t control it well. I’ll change it right away~)

Jie Ta poked his head out from the clouds with an embarrassed look, and the fire instantly vaporized the hailstones. Then, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

“He’s got the temperature thoroughly under control.”

Bai Qi was extremely pleased to see this. Although it wasn’t as crude as a Thunder Strike, the hailstone attack also seemed reasonably strong.

But Jie Ta’s control ability needed some serious training, otherwise, Bai Qi suspected he might die one day due to some unexplained extreme weather.

As if to confirm Bai Qi’s thoughts, the snow mountain they were standing on suddenly began to shake violently. For some unknown reason, the thick ice and snow began to surge towards Bai Qi and the others.

“Oh my god, it’s an avalanche!”

Bai Qi’s eyes widened in shock, and he quickly hid in the secret realm. Other beasts, including Beta, also reacted very quickly and followed Bai Qi.

After a long while, Bai Qi poked his head out from the secret realm and looked at the forest below, which was in a mess due to the avalanche. His eyes twitched slightly.

“Seems like we can’t wait, we must train Jie Ta’s control immediately!”

Ho-hum ho-hum…

(Master, I know I was wrong…)

The Water and Fire Child, who also realized his mistake, flew to Bai Qi’s side, looking pitiful.

“If you know you were wrong, then start training right away.”

Bai Qi patted the head of the Water and Fire Child and said, “By the way, what can you do in the Water and Fire Child state?”

Ho-hum ho-hum.

(I can normally manipulate water and fire energy, but if I use too much energy, it will change form.)

“I get it.”

Bai Qi nodded, pondered for a while, and said, “So from today on, Jie Ta, your training task will be switched to this.”

Saying that, Bai Qi took out a pile of materials from the mysterious realm and said, “In addition to the previous alchemy, you’ll have to make the glass bottles for the potions yourself, using water and fire energy manipulation. No tools are allowed, got it?”

Snore snore ~

(I get it ~)

Upon hearing that Bai Qi’s assigned task involved their favorite potions, the Water and Fire Child cheered instantly.

“However, this disturbance is likely to draw the attention of the ferocious beasts. Let’s move elsewhere.”

Bai Qi looked down the mountain and immediately had the caterpillar contact Nicholas.

“What happened, Bai Qi? Are you in danger?”

After a few days of recuperation, Nicholas’ injuries had fully healed, and his eyes once again radiated strong confidence.

“No, we just need to change our location.”

Bai Qi shrugged and looked at Nicholas’ massive form. “For safety’s sake, you’d better switch to human form.”

“No problem.”

Nicholas nodded and quickly transformed into a human form.

“So, where are we heading to next?”

“Off to the Ghost Wolf Tribe, of course.”

Bai Qi grinned. He had been hesitant to visit the tribe because of its danger, but now that he’d unexpectedly ended up there, he should take the opportunity to have a good look around.

If anything dangerous happened, he’d let Nicholas take them to the Jade Dream.

…

Ghost Wolf Tribe.

The disturbance in the snowy mountain had indeed caught the attention of many ferocious beasts and Beast Soul Warriors. But once they discovered the source, it was quickly forgotten.

If it wasn’t for the occasional disturbances of this mountain affecting the original Fire Leopard Tribe here, the Ghost Wolf Tribe might not have been able to occupy this territory.

It was just an avalanche, a small matter.

“These Beast Soul Warriors sure have some nerve~”

Bai Qi, disguised as a wolf servant, directed the vehicle’s progress while surveying his surroundings.

In comparison to the modernized cities of the Federation, the productivity level of the tribes was visibly lower, but it wasn’t quite the primitive society that Bai Qi had imagined.

Judging by the architectural style, it resembled the stone structure of the human medieval period.

More importantly, Bai Qi noticed many things in the tribe which were rare in the Federation.

Treasure.

No, perhaps not as powerful as treasure, but it could be considered as precious artifacts.

A treasure (artifact) was created by engraving runes into special metals and permanently sealing some power within them.

There were several treasures passed down through human history, but their numbers gradually dwindled with the course of history. In modern times, they became rare items, even the association wouldn’t casually give treasures to their younger generation.

Yet, the treasures that humans cherished, were commonplace in the tribes. Even on some wolves who had not yet gained intelligence, there were simple precious artifacts.

“No wonder the Federation, despite its strength, remains so cautious of the tribes~”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, watching the two giant wolves ahead and discreetly lowering his head.

In the tribes, the ruling beasts could change at any time, and the positions of different beast species shifted constantly, but one thing remained the same.

The status of humans.

On his journey, Bai Qi saw not only kings or elite wolves, but even the lowest level of servant wolves had a human servant taking care of them.

Making direct eye contact with a powerful wolf was an absolute sign of disrespect.

Moreover, by looking at the eyes of these humans, they had completely accepted their status.

The servility produced by centuries of enslavement was something Bai Qi and other Federation humans had a hard time understanding.

However, Bai Qi did not have the interest in deciphering their mentality, he just wanted to gather some information here and understand his current location.

“Wait! I don’t recognize you!”

Just as Bai Qi planned to sneak past these two giant wolves, one of them sniffed and blocked Bai Qi’s way.

Damn it, I forgot about their keen sense of smell.

Bai Qi frowned and Alpha, disguised as a low-ranking undead wolf, already prepared to act.

Howl howl!

(You don’t remember me? I’m You Bai! You once grabbed my meat. You said you would return it to me tenfold!)

Just then, Beta stood up willingly without showing any signs of fear and questioned the wolf head on.

“You Bai? Meat? Oh~ I remember now. You went out to train, didn’t you?”

The giant wolf looked bewildered, but after noticing his partner’s contemptuous gaze, he went along with Beta’s story.

Howl howl!

(That’s right, I just came back. I was even planning on looking for you. You didn’t plan on defaulting on your promise, did you?)

“Rest assured, I, You Chun, always keep my word. Come, I’ll take you to eat something good.”

Howl howl!

(Let’s go, let’s go. I’m starving.)

Watching Beta quickly get friendly with the giant wolf, Bai Qi, with his head down, couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

This damned tribe also has an old friends joke, huh~
