Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 548: Chapter 543: The First Battle of Zodiac Tiger

However, when everyone thought the Zodiac Tiger would be torn apart by the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s attack, the Zodiac Tiger agilely dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the assault from the Split Mountain Rock Bull.

Immediately afterwards, the Zodiac Tiger pounced forward, landing directly on the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s back with its sharp claws dug deep, and at the same time, it bit down on the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s body.

Simultaneously, to the surprise of Bai Qi and others, the Zodiac Tiger spewed searing flames from its mouth, which flowed into the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s body through the wound.

“Is this… the skill of a Fire Rock Magic Tiger?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows questioningly.

“Not a skill, just the ability to absorb and use fire attribute energy.”

Schuck shook his head and replied, “But if you want to consider it as a skill, you can.”

“I see.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, realizing that even if it was not an innate skill, being able to injure a King Creature like this was remarkable.

At least, it was much better than parasitic beasts like Wormgrass, which could only rely on their physical strength.

The flame power of the Zodiac Tiger caused the Split Mountain Rock Bull even more agony. The strength of the Fire Rock Magic Tiger resulted in the flames from the Zodiac Tiger being much hotter than normal, even having a fire poison that was continuously corroding the Bull’s flesh and blood.

However, the Split Mountain Rock Bull quickly reacted, forcefully trampling the ground and deploying a earthy yellow force field, harshly repelling the Zodiac Tiger.

King’s Stand.

Driven back by the King’s Stand, the Zodiac Tiger showed no signs of giving up. Instead, it seemed more like an actual beast, bloodthirsty with red eyes. It swung its tiger claw and launched countless fire blades towards the Split Mountain Rock Bull.

But since the Rock Bull, as an earth-attribute beast, had boosted its defence after deploying the force field, these fire blades were unable to breach its defence.

Seeing this, the Split Mountain Rock Bull began to store energy, preparing for its next charge.

After deploying the force field, its explosive power and destructive capabilities would also multiply. At this distance, unless the Zodiac Tiger could dodge the moment it started to move, it would be unable to resist.

But just then, countless cannons erupted from the Zodiac Tiger’s back, firing up into the sky. Then, before the Split Mountain Rock Bull could react, the Zodiac Tiger actively distanced itself.

After a brief confusion, the Split Mountain Rock Bull finally noticed the anomaly, lifting its head abruptly to find a rain of meteors falling from the sky unexpectedly!

“Meteor Shower? It has mastered such a skill?!”

Bai Qi was also slightly stunned, wondering if the effect was already this good with only a few nails, what would it be like if he moved the whole skeleton and internal organs of the Fire Rock Magic Tiger over? Wouldn’t that be invincible?

“It has not mastered it, it just used a combination of machinery and runes to simulate a similar effect.”

Schuck shook his head and replied, “But it’s sufficient to deal with lower Kings.”

Hearing Schuck’s confident words, Bai Qi didn’t doubt him at all, while Wang Huai and the Baili Brothers standing next to him were left speechless.

Their own pet beast could already split into three, but now, the mechanical beast summoned by the pet beast also had the ability to fight with King Ferocious Beasts.

What had they been doing all these years, indeed?

Finally, the cheap version of the Meteor Shower fell upon the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s force field, a huge shockwave carrying flames relentlessly hammered the earthy force field, smashing cracks into the surrounding ground.

Yet, the Split Mountain Rock Bull’s force field showed no signs of breaking down, and the Split Mountain Rock Bull was unharmed, even having the energy to store power for an attack.

Although it was just here for a routine siege, the Split Mountain Rock Bull was not one to be compared to cannon fodder.

But when the Split Mountain Rock Bull had finally stored up enough energy and was about to charge, it suddenly felt a heaviness above. Looking up, it was shocked to find an unusually large meteor had fallen onto its force field.

Seeing this, the Split Mountain Rock Bull was dumbfounded and when it looked at the Zodiac Tiger, it was surprised to see the Zodiac Tiger had completely lost its tiger shape. Transforming into a huge cannon with tiger features, it was continuously firing into the sky.

What, on earth, was this?

Boom!

The second meteor fell, crashing onto the first one. The large force instantly shattered the Rock Bull’s force field and fell onto the Bull.

At that moment, the Split Mountain Rock Bull finally reacted, lifting its head and crashing into the falling meteors, both of which broke apart and fell to the sides.

However, before the Split Mountain Rock Bull could even catch its breath, it suddenly felt a chill at its neck and a sharp pain in its heart, with blood gushing out.

What happened?

With a something of disbelief, the Split Mountain Rock Bull lowered its head and was shocked to see a Tiger-headed Mech Warrior holding its still-beating heart, silently staring at him.

The King Ferocious Beast, Split Mountain Rock Bull, died on the spot.

“233333… If all twelve Zodiac signs were really produced, wouldn’t the seven swords of Alpha’s Seven Swords Dragon Knights be just enough to resist?”

Not concealing his surprise, Bai Qi then asked Schuck, “Schuck, can these Guardian Beasts be mass-produced?”

His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Mass produce? Are you sure you have ample funds, Beast Master?”

Schuck looked at Bai Qi disdainfully, “Moreover, the birth of this Guardian Beast was a coincidence; we haven’t found a stable manufacturing method yet. So you can forget about mass production.”

“Alright, let’s just pretend I never said anything.”

Bai Qi shrugged upon hearing these words. Indeed, if such a powerful Guardian Beast could be mass-produced, this research would probably surpass all of his previous ones.

After all, a king creature that could be mass-produced would definitely provide an absolute advantage to the Federation in a war against the tribes. Even if the resources were consumed enormously, the Federation undoubtedly would not be stingy.

Upon the end of the battle, the Zodiac Tiger dragged the Split Mountain Rock Bull away from the battlefield, returned to Bai Qi, and then skillfully stretched out its paw to dissect the creature. In no time, a king-level ferocious beast was broken down into various materials.

“Was this disassembly skill passed down by Gamma?”

Bai Qi nodded subtly at this, then placed his hand on the pair of horns of the Split Mountain Rock Bull.

[Material Name]: Split Mountain Horn

[Material Grade]: Mythical

[Material Description]: The bull’s horn from the Split Mountain Rock Bull. Its material quality has upgraded due to the high energy concentration before death, thus enabling it to possess the power of rock splitting.

…

“Still a mythical-level material~”

Bai Qi was satisfied with what he saw and nodded. However, when he saw the skill it granted, he looked somewhat less interested.

Even as a mythical-level item, the quality of these horns seemed to be rather low.

Having used dozens of mythical-level materials, Bai Qi had noticed the disparity among them.

Unlike those of legend, the gap between different mythical-level materials was extraordinarily large.

Just by considering the super skills or even transcendent skills obtained after use, they differed tremendously in effect.

However, it made sense. Lord-level creatures had an extremely low probability of producing mythical materials, while king-level creatures were somewhat more likely. Only emperor-level creatures could barely reach stability in terms of producing mythical-level materials.

The quality of the produced materials naturally differed among creatures with three different kinds of bloodline.

“This is an earth attribute material. However, it seems not to be very useful for Alpha. Should I give it to the Earth Sword Dragon Knight?”

Bai Qi stroked his chin, obviously being somewhat uncertain.

“Beast Master, let these materials be in my hands.”

Seeing Bai Qi in this manner, Schuck suddenly spoke up. Bai Qi then saw Jerry return. Jerry casually threw the beast he held to one side, then walked into the secret realm with the materials just dissected by the Zodiac Tiger.

With that, Bai Qi and Wang Huai greeted each other and followed in. They saw the secret realm full of various Zodiac Guardian Beasts neatly arranged there.

“You guys really regard money as nothing…”

Looking at so many Guardian Beasts, Bai Qi suddenly felt a pain in the chest. But thinking about the powerful performance of the Zodiac Tiger, he could only silently comfort himself.

“Don’t get angry. Don’t get angry. Let’s think of it as an early preparation for the Mechanical Corps. Yes, don’t be angry…”

As mechanical masters progressed to the later stages, their mechanical pet beasts would get larger. However, some mechanical masters would also train some mechanical creations without spirits to assist in their attack.

This was what they commonly referred to as the corps group.

However, under normal circumstances, most mechanical masters wouldn’t choose to do this for a simple reason.

It burns through money too fast!

“Bai Qi, you’re here? Hmm, is this a complete set of king-level flesh?”

Seeing the body tissue of the Split Mountain Rock Bull brought in by Jerry, Hei Bai’s eyes lit up instantly. He immediately directed the mechanical assistant to move these flesh to a device nearby and threw them into different categories there.

At the same time, Schuck smoothly picked up a pile of metal materials including Taishui Gold from one side and added them one by one. Then, he activated the device.

“What’s this thing?”

Bai Qi had been busy with his things recently and hadn’t come to the secret realm for a while. To his surprise, in just a short time, these two guys had devised many somethings he didn’t know about.

“This is the Zodiac Guardian Beast production line we made. From material forging to the final shaping, everything can be taken care of together.”

Schuck explained, “By the way, let me tell you, although we didn’t replicate the Death Metal, we made some materials that are close to living metal.”

“We named it Zodiac Gold.”

“Zodiac Gold? Nice, very fitting.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded, and then saw a metallic bull rolling out slowly from the other end of the production line.

However, there was no movement at all. It looked like a statue.

“Did it fail?”

Bai Qi slightly frowned. Schuck had said before that the Zodiac Tiger was accidentally born and was hard to replicate.

They had put in the complete flesh of a king creature, which even mixed a pair of mythical level horns, but it didn’t succeed. Indeed, the success rate was extremely low.

“No, it’s not over yet.”

Schuck shook his head, exchanged a look with Jerry at his side. Both Beta heads separated from its body and arrived in front of the Mechanical Bull.

Then, both wolves put their palms on the Mechanical Bull. Two flames with different colors lit up simultaneously, enveloping the Mechanical Bull.

“Fire Seed Enlightenment? What’s that of Jerry?”
