Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 500: Chapter 495: Water Elemental World

The Water Element World.

Three figures, two large and one small, suddenly appeared, sinking into the water before they could see clearly where they were.

“Damn, this Water Element World seems even more dangerous than the Fire Element World.”

Bai Qi was lifted up by Nicholas while Luo Xiang summoned the North Eagle, instantly freezing the water into ice upon which they landed securely.

“It seems that our trip to the Water Element World won’t be smooth.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luo Xiang surveyed the surroundings.

“Huh?”

Bai Qi was stunned. He looked around and didn’t see another Element Gate, his eyes twitching involuntarily.

“Instructor Luo, don’t tell me the Element Gate has fled?”

Luo Xiang shook his head, “The Element Gate shouldn’t have run off, but our teleportation location may have changed.”

“I knew it…”

Bai Qi sighed in exasperation. He had expected trouble, nothing could ever be easy when it involved something as invaluable as an Element Gate.

“So, we need to find the Element Gate before we can return?”

“Correct.”

Luo Xiang nodded, looked around and said, “If my instincts are right, the Element Gate should be in that direction. The tracking device I left earlier is still working.”

“What are we waiting for then? Let’s go.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately climbed onto Nicholas’s back, thought for a while, and summoned the Snow Doll.

Hurr hurr~

(Master, where is this place? I feel good here~)

The Snow Doll obviously loved it here and, despite Bai Qi’s protests, immediately jumped into the water and began swimming comfortably.

“This is a Mythical Element species? Boy, you’re quite lucky.”

Luo Xiang’s eyes lit up as he observed, “This element species should not have been born long ago and has a great potential for development, you’d better not waste it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Of all the pets Bai Qi had come across so far, those of the Mythical Species had clear advantages. The Snow Doll had demonstrated battle power equal to other pets right after forming a contract, hence its potential was undeniable.

“Instructor Luo, as far as I remember, all your pets are of the Mythical Species, did you seek them out on purpose?”

“Kind of.”

Luo Xiang laughed, “Actually, Neil was not a Mythical Species creature at first. But after an accident awakened his bloodline, Neil started to sense other Mythical Species creatures. So, I began to pay attention.”

“He has such an ability?”

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. This ability was like a living Evolution Egg, it’s a genuine protagonist template.

“However, although Mythical species are stronger than others of the same period, the materials required to cultivate them are many times more than ordinary pets, so it has its pros and cons.”

Luo Xiang smiled, looking at Bai Qi, “I believe you should understand this.”

“Yes.”

Bai Qi nodded continuously, not to mention the Bug Grass, an artificial Mythical Species. Snow Doll’s habit of treating materials like desserts had already given him a headache.

Fortunately, his living conditions had improved. If this was when he had just become a Beast Master, he probably wouldn’t even dare to raise the Snow Doll.

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Qi, “You’ve now reached the Six Stage, and all your pets have become King-level, right?”

“Correct.”

Bai Qi nodded. The Six Pets were all King-level and he was now considering the matter of advancing to Emperor.

“Personally, I recommend that you concentrate your resources next and prioritize cultivating an Emperor creature.”

Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, “Your pets all have great potential, and they’re not weaker than my Mythical Species, but the consumption of resources will increase exponentially. So hurry up and cultivate an Emperor creature to prepare for the Legendary rank and improve the efficiency of resource collection.”

“Instructor Luo, why do I feel like you’re about to cry?”

“Nonsense. I was too busy contracting Mythical Creatures in the beginning. Who knew that advancing to Emperor and Legend would consume so many materials. My nest egg has been completely used up.”

Luo Xiang looked miserable, “After the Element Gate stabilizes, I have to thoroughly scour this place. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to build the Secret Realm Tower.”

“Is it really that terrible?”

Bai Qi’s face changed. Even Luo Xiang, who was known for solving hundreds of secret realms in a year, was struggling to keep up. Had he been complacent too soon for having seven core patents?

No, he had to find other ways to obtain resources. Otherwise, his dream of having all Legendary Pets would be hard to reach.

“However, you just ascended to Six Stage and there’s still enough time for preparations. I’m just giving you a heads up for now.”

Luo Xiang smiled. Bai Qi suddenly remembered something, “Instructor Luo, I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words?”

It felt like Luo Xiang was implying something, both with the Secret Realm Tower and now with raising pets.

“Nothing really, I just think it’s impressive that you’ve achieved so much in such a short time. After all, even mine and Yi Yu’s generation had to spend a lot of time accumulating resources. The rest were descendants of families like Xiao Yuan.”

Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a thumbs up, “It’s commendable that you’ve managed to stand on your own feet, remember to keep it up.”

Without waiting for Bai Qi’s response, Luo Xiang swiftly flew off on the North Eagle.

“This Instructor Luo, why does he always speak in riddles? Suddenly, Instructor Zhang Shan seems pretty good. He speaks clearly and concisely.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi scratched his head and quickly followed Luo Xiang, letting Nicholas pick up the Snow Doll.

The conditions in the Water Element World were noticeably better compared to the sweltering heat of the Fire Element World.

However, as they continued to advance, the temperature around them gradually fell, and the sea under their feet was slowly replaced by frost.

Whooosh, whoosh!

(This wind seems like the one from my previous home!)

Perked up by the blast of cold wind, the Snow Doll looked invigorated, and Bai Qi seemed to realize something. He said, “Instructor Luo, is the Element Gate you found located right here?”

“Correct, why do you ask?”

Luo Xiang asked, puzzled.

“Well, I suspect it might lead to more places than just Taize Lake.”

Bai Qi explained how he, through the Element Gate in the Fire Element World, had unexpectedly ended up in Taize Lake, prompting Luo Xiang to fall into deep thought.

“If that’s the case, then we may not be able to stabilize the gate.”

After pondering for a while, Luo Xiang said, “Let’s find the Element Gate first, and then worry about the rest.”

With that, they continued onward and soon saw an Element Gate standing on the ice.

“We’re here.”

Just as Luo Xiang was about to land on the North Eagle, Nicholas abruptly turned his head towards one side and violently spewed dragon breath without any hesitation.

Simultaneously, a gust of icy wind materialized out of thin air, which was duly blocked by the Jade Dragon’s breath.

“Who dares to ambush me!”

Nicholas roared out angrily, his terrifying dragon aura surging towards the empty space where a transparent figure gradually materialized.

“Is that…a Shadow of the Ice Ring?”

Luo Xiang quickly identified the opponent and also made note of the abnormal surroundings. Upon closer inspection, he spotted numerous Water and Ice Elements emerging.

Whooosh, whoosh?

(Master, why do they look like me?)

The Snow Doll looked around curiously. It was the first time he had encountered his kin, and he felt a natural sense of affinity.

“Strictly speaking, you and they belong to the same species.”

Bai Qi patted the Snow Doll’s head and added mentally.

Excluding the Flame Soul, that is.

“Foreigners, why have you intruded upon the Water Element World? Leave immediately, and I will not hold you accountable.”

The Shadow of the Ice Ring flew in front of them and said, “Also, the place hidden behind that gate isn’t beneficial to your kind. Do not touch it thoughtlessly.”

Then, it looked at Luo Xiang and added, “Human, we’ve already warned you once, but you dared to return.”

“So it is. I wondered why this Element Gate had suddenly disconnected.”

Understanding the situation, Luo Xiang looked at the Element Gate that was being enveloped by the Water Elements and said, “You are actually worried that I might inadvertently open the gate to the Fire Element World, right?”

The Shadow of the Ice Ring fell silent. Just as it was about to say something, a small figure darted towards it. Instinctively, it prepared to attack, but stopped once it detected the aura on the Snow Doll.

Whooosh, whoosh?

(You smell great, can I take a bite?)

The Snow Doll scanned the Shadow of the Ice Ring up and down, blurting out something that made Bai Qi break out in a cold sweat.

This little miscreant! What has it picked up from Gamma? It even thinks about taking a bite out of a Legend Species!

At least wait till there’s nobody around! It’s rude to do such things on other’s turf~

Aware of Bai Qi’s anxiety, Nicholas bristled menacingly, ready to leap into action at any moment. Nonetheless, the Shadow of the Ice Ring showed no hostility towards the Snow Doll, on the contrary, it appeared quite amiable.

“I didn’t expect to see a newly born sibling of mine.”

While gently cradling the Snow Doll, the Shadow of the Ice Ring looked at Bai Qi and asked, “Human, have you formed a pact with it?”

“Yes, his name is Jie Ta.”

Bai Qi relaxed when he realized the Shadow of the Ice Ring had no intentions of hurting the Snow Doll, and the Snow Doll came right back to him. Then he asked, “From what I understood, new members of your kind haven’t been born in a long time?”

At this, the Shadow of the Ice Ring fell silent, prompting Bai Qi to take the opportunity to continue asking, “Aren’t the souls of Elemental Creatures supposed to return to the Elemental World after death? How has this situation come about?”

“Since you’re its Beast Master, I won’t keep it a secret from you. I hope you can protect it well. If it dies, it won’t be able to revive again.”

The Shadow of the Ice Ring sighed and said, “It’s true. Even if our Elemental Core is shattered, our spirit can return to the Elemental World, awaiting rebirth.”

“But since some unknown time, our Elemental Creatures’ spirits don’t get reborn after returning to the Elemental World.”
