Beast Taming Begins with Evolution

Chapter 89

Ju Xingwen took a half step back, walked to Bai Yin's side, lowered his voice, and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong here?"

Bai Yin was a little unsure of what Ju Xingwen meant, and replied, "I think there are problems everywhere here."

Ju Xingwen opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't think of anything to refute, so he held it in for a moment and asked, "Tell me what you found."

Baiyin thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I agree with Captain Wu's guess. We should be underground. If nothing goes wrong, it's underground in the oasis. So, there is a problem. The oasis is surrounded by desert. We haven't seen any pillars in this underground space yet. What maintains the underground space? Is it all dependent on the plants in the oasis, or is it all dependent on the strange wood elves?"

"Second question, what is the meaning of this underground space? I clearly saw ferocious beasts living underground above the oasis gnawing on the roots of plants, and they succeeded without falling into this underground space. So, this space is deeper underground? Those roots above are not the same as the plants exposed in the oasis?"

Before they knew it, the other three people in the team were also listening carefully to Bai Yin's analysis.

The only female beastmaster in the team asked seriously, "How do you know that the ferocious beasts active underground have not been caught in this space? There are ferocious beasts everywhere here."

"I'm far away, so I may not be able to see everything. However, the attacking desert forces cannot fail to observe the situation. If their companions disappear inexplicably, even if only a few are missing, they cannot remain indifferent. When I was in the oasis, I was provoked by a flying bird. After I killed it, several more flew over immediately. Even if the underground forces do not have the cohesion of a flock of birds, it is impossible for them not to notice this."

The captain nodded, agreeing with Bai Yin's words, and said, "I can recognize a few of the remains of the ferocious beasts here. There is a fifth-level light marquis indigo snake and a sixth-level evil light purple scorpion. They are not the desert forces that attacked this time. Moreover, no fresh blood and flesh have been seen so far."

"How could there be none? Aren't we?" Ju Xingwen muttered.

Others were silent.

Baiyin felt the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he smiled and said, "Our existence is my third question. The area we explored is not small, but no one has seen any human remains, right? Although I don't know how big the underground space is, I don't agree that there are no human remains in the area we explored. Moreover, those roots can kill us directly, but they tied us up in the air, and none of us was seriously injured, at most some scratches. The strange wood fairy doesn't want to kill us, at least not for the time being."

"Then why did it capture us?" Ju Xingwen followed Baiyin's thoughts and asked a question.

Baiyin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Then she looked at the other three people and said, "I think the plant above our heads should be a strange wood fairy, and all the roots point to a strange wood fairy. With such a large range and such strong strength, it is definitely not a fifth-level beast, and even a sixth-level beast is far from reaching this level. I have just entered university and don’t know the situation of this secret realm. Do you have any ideas, seniors?"

Ju Xingwen frowned and thought, and the others also began to ponder.

Everyone was walking and thinking. After a while, the female beastmaster turned to look at the captain and said, "Captain Wu, is the rumor about the eighth-level beast true?"

Ju Xingwen immediately went over and asked, "What rumor?"

Wu Diyu glanced at Ju Xingwen and said, "You just entered the secret realm not long ago. Have you heard a rumor? It is said that an eighth-level ferocious beast appeared in this secret realm."

Ju Xingwen looked at Wu Diyu in confusion, "Isn't this just a fabricated legend that the instructor is using to scare us so that we don't rush into it?"

Wu Diyu nodded and said, "I thought so before, but now I don't think so." Baiyin understood, "Captain Wu thinks that this strange wood fairy whose ability is obviously inconsistent with the fifth level is the eighth-level beast?"

Wu Diyu neither nodded nor shook his head.

"That rumor hasn't been finished. It's said that an eighth-level beast appeared in the secret realm, but the beast didn't attack the students who discovered it. So when it met and was defeated by the strong men of the academy, the strong men of the academy didn't hurt its life, but the eighth-level beast disappeared in the end. Some people said that the beast died, some said it was taken away by the strong men, and some said it was in the secret realm. In short, there are multiple versions of the ending, and no one knows which one is true."

Bai Yin nodded, "Some of them are correct, but there are also some discrepancies."

"So, what exactly did it want to do by capturing us?" Ju Xingwen asked.

Baiyin shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Judging from the absence of human remains here, we know that they would not be actively attacked by these roots, but if they did not find a way out themselves, they might not survive.

Besides, why did it arrest them?
Are they simply displeased with seeing human presence on their territory? Wouldn't it be better to just beat them up and leave them black and blue than to arrest them?
It's weird, really weird.

If you can’t figure it out, just look for a way out.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Baiyin and the others finally saw the boundary of the underground space. Above them were still countless pale rhizomes, and below, what was entangled with the rhizomes was not sand, but huge rocks.

Baiyin felt that this stone was somewhat familiar.

Where is familiar?

Baiyin frowned and looked carefully.

"The color of this stone is similar to the ones we observed at the edge of the oasis. Could this be the underground part of those stones?" muttered another person in the team.

Baiyin suddenly realized.

These stones are exactly the same color as those stone monsters. What is the relationship between these stones and the stone monsters?
Baiyin's thoughts were a little confused.

The existence of those giant stone monsters is very special. Baiyin has been wondering how they reproduce? Asexual reproduction? Or body replication? Or do they find stones and turn them into monsters?
When Baiyin saw these stones, he had some ideas, but also had no ideas.

With a sigh, Baiyin gathered his thoughts and thought: I can't even deal with a strange wood fairy by myself, so I must not let any other ferocious beasts come. I really can't do it.

He looked at the other four people again and thought to himself: None of us can do it.
