Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 171: Abandoned Secret Realm

Translator: 549690339

After breakfast, Feng Ye brought Bai Qi to a pit.

“This is the area I’m in charge of. Although it’s not opened yet, I’m confident that it definitely leads to the core area of the Emperor’s Secret Realm.”

Feng Ye pointed at the bronze door before him, full of confidence. Bai Qi, on the other hand, inexplicably felt a tad nervous.

Whatever a tribal chief believes in always seems to go in the opposite direction.

“Here are the translated rune materials from before. Take a look, it will help with your forthcoming deciphering.”

Feng Ye handed Bai Qi a stack of manuscripts, then began his own research.

He had heard yesterday that Luo Xiang had helped the Thirteenth Bureau to reach the next area, and Uncle Chun’s people had been sent to explore together. However, the work on their side could not stop.

After all, the scale of the Emperor’s Secret Realm was unprecedentedly large, and nobody knew if any door directly led to the core area.

Although the two sides talked about exploration together, the one who discovered it first could always gain an early advantage.

Bai Qi took Feng Ye’s manuscript and briefly browsed it.

The notes were very detailed; not only did they explain single runes, but they also translated their possible meanings when combined. It was clear that Feng Ye’s rune knowledge was very advanced, at least higher than most people in the training camp.

Most importantly, most of these runes were ancient runes, and ordinary rune knowledge was basically useless.

“Feng Ye, you are also a member of the Beast Master Association, right? Why didn’t you participate in the special training?”

Although Feng Ye lost to him yesterday, he was absolutely among the top in the training team and should have participated as far as reason dictates.

Feng Ye said, “Training? Spare me. I like digging in secret realms, training’s too grueling and doesn’t suit me.”

Bai Qi was taken aback and then responded.

People like Feng Ye probably couldn’t adapt to the lifestyle of the training camp, as it was rather disciplined.

“People like us basically hate staying at the headquarters. We follow Master Chun all year round to dig up secret realms. Now that we’ve discovered the Emperor’s Secret Realm, who wants to participate in the tiring training?”

Upon hearing Feng Ye’s words, Bai Qi nodded appreciatively.

Indeed, unlike the training camp that would continue to be held, the elusive Emperor’s Secret Realm was far more attractive.

Thinking about this, Bai Qi put down the manuscript in his hand and began to study the gate in front of him.

Feng Ye’s notes were extremely detailed and he quickly found similar runes on the big gate. Just as he was about to go up and study them carefully, the runes on the bronze gate suddenly shone and then opened with a loud bang.

Feng Ye, who was busily figuring out the password, was momentarily stunned when the door suddenly opened. He then looked at Bai Qi, the “culprit”, and said, “What did you just do? Why did it suddenly open?”

Bai Qi shrugged innocently and said, “I didn’t do anything, I just touched it.”

Feng Ye was silent for a moment before he said, “So that’s the Breaking the Void talent. Isn’t it too buggy?”

Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. This was the third time, it seemed that every time he encountered a Secret Realm Gate, it opened directly. But he really didn’t have the Breaking the Void talent.

Could it be because he’s too handsome?

Bai Qi looked at the Evolution Egg in his Beast Control Space, which was quiet without any movement, and was increasingly confident in his guess.

Yes, that must be it.

“Yo, Ye, you’ve finally opened the door. Let me see where it goes.”

The sound of the door opening attracted many people to check it out. But upon seeing the grey vortex on the door, they suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, you’ve actually found a scrap secret realm, Ye, your luck, hahaha…” “Scrap Realm?”

Bai Qi curiously looked at Feng Ye. Feng Ye looked a little sullen, but explained, “While the Secret Realm Tower is built using the Beast Master’s Beast Control Space, it also forms an independent space. If the structure of the external tower is not strong enough, the secret realm connected to it can easily be flushed into the chaos space after the Beast Master dies. It’s what we called a Scrap Realm.” There was this saying. If you don’t know and rush in directly, won’t you die for sure?

Thinking about his previous experiences of running directly into the Secret Realm, Bai Qi suddenly felt a chill.

He must learn more about the Secret Realm.

It wouldn’t work. Bai Qi should summon Husky. With it around, he should be able to sense something.

“We’ve been wasting time these days, let’s find another one.”

Feng Ye packed his things simply and Beast Masters specializing in door sealing were immediately there to seal the door.

Although it was a scrap realm and had no value for exploration, leaving it as it was would be too dangerous. So some necessary sealing measures were needed. “Bai Qi, are you planning to join me, or will you find a door yourself? Any unoccupied one is up for grabs.”

Bai Qi gave an awkward smile and said, “I think I’ll go back and study ancient runes before I come back.”

There were so many doors here, who knows what lay behind each door. As for following Feng Ye…

He heard that misfortune was contagious, better be careful.

For the sake of safety, he’d better study those rubbings from Luo Xiang first, and consider other things later.

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Feng Ye made no objection but didn’t insist either.

Indeed, it was a bit of a stretch for someone like Bai Qi who, despite having the Breaking the Void talent, lacked comprehensive rune knowledge, to forcibly decrypt a secret realm, especially the Emperor’s Secret Realm, the oldest Secret Realm Tower in human history.

After Bai Qi returned to his room, he immediately entered into the secret realm.

“Schuck, have all those imprints been dealt with?”

Schuck, who was meddlesome about something, immediately nodded at his words, saying, “I’ve already stored all the ancient runes we’ve collected so far in the computer in the research room, along with the comparison results to the modern runes.”

Bai Qi nodded, wanting to say something more, but he held back upon seeing the diligent efforts of Schuck and Beta.

As expected, Alpha seemed to have been hit quite hard yesterday. It would be better to wait until it finished what it was doing.

Bai Qi entered the research room, turned on the computer, and magnified versions of the ancient runes immediately appeared on a large screen next to him.

One of the reasons why runes were difficult to popularize was the similarities between them.

Just thickening a line slightly or shifting it up or down could change the entire meaning of the rune, which is why Bai Qi usually chose to enlarge them before studying.

Because Schuck had tidied up in advance, Bai Qi learned quickly. He had memorized the general content of the imprints in just over an hour.

However, practical application would require slow, grinding practice.

“Let’s compare it with the General Terracotta first.”

Bai Qi stretched lazily, contacted Alpha through the contract, and soon, Alpha dragged the General Terracotta in.

Looking at the General Terracotta whose head still sported the patchy appearance, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel some pity.

From a certain perspective, this General Terracotta could be considered the earliest mechanical creature in human history, yet it had been smashed by Li Xusheng.

Li Xusheng had aimed for the head of all places. Didn’t the man know that the secrets hidden in the head were the most crucial?

“Alpha, see if you can restore this guy from the inside out.”

*Gargles*

(I’ll give it a try.)

Alpha nodded, put his hand on the head of the General Terracotta, and the initially flattened skull began to slowly bulge.

After evolving once again, Alpha’s gravity control ability improved, and he had gained some control over metal, so restoring the General Terracotta was a bit of a stretch, but possible.

However, after Alpha restored the General Terracotta’s skull to its original shape, Bai Qi immediately found that the rune circuit on it had been damaged.

*Gargles*

(Boss, did I screw up?)

Alpha immediately conveyed a self-reproachful emotion, like a child who had done something wrong. There was no trace of his bravery in battle to be seen.

“It’s okay, it was to be expected.”

Bai Qi patted Alpha’s shoulder, indicating to him to be at ease.

Although the rune system looked primitive, it was actually very precise. Given what Li Xusheng had done to the General Terracotta, it wouldn’t be strange if it couldn’t be fully restored.

His intent was only to verify the ancient runes he had just studied using the General Terracotta, so as long as there was a vague resemblance, it would suffice.

“Hm? This rune looks familiar.”

Bai Qi circled around the skull of the General Terracotta, found that the rune on his forehead looked familiar, pausing for a moment, he went back to the computer and did some operations. A similar but noticeably more complex rune appeared on the screen.

After careful comparison of the two runes, Bai Qi finally confirmed his suspicions.

“The runes on the Terracotta Soldiers actually evolved from the Slave Contracts of the ferocious beasts. Should I say that the Beast Masters were actually created by the ferocious beasts?”

Thinking about his discovery, Bai Qi suddenly developed a deep interest in the history of ferocious beasts. However, he quickly suppressed this urge.

As of now, he was only a third-stage Beast Master. It was still a bit too early to explore the history of ferocious beasts.

“However, with a reference object, it seems like I can restore the General Terracotta.”

Looking at the broken runes on the General Terracotta, Bai Qi had a fervent look on his face.

Ever since Husky had awakened the consciousness Schuck, it had been quite a while since he had toyhaled over something with his own hands.

“Alpha, act as my assistant. If there’s any abnormal movement, suppress it immediately.”

*Gargles*

(Understood, boss!)

Alpha nodded, and then seamlessly converged countless blades to guard in front of Bai Qi.

“Actually, you don’t have to be so careful.”

Seeing the clearly overreacting Alpha, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh. But on seeing Alpha’s insistence, he decided not to mention it anymore.

While other people’s pets grew more mature as they leveled up, why did his seem to become more like children?

Yes, he should do some psychological counseling for his pets one of these days.
