Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 106 Beta's Tragedy

Bai Qi leaned closer, looked it up and down, and quickly recognized the jelly.

Slime monster?

Isn't this thing supposed to be used for garbage disposal all year round? How did it end up in the energy system?

Before Bai Qi could figure out the reason, Beta suddenly looked terrified and flung the slime monster away.

woof!woof!

(Human, this thing is absorbing my energy!)

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and gave Alpha a look. Alpha immediately understood, and six small ice crystal barriers instantly formed in the air, turning into an ice crystal box that sealed the slime monster inside.

Bai Qi walked up to the ice box and saw a red energy slowly flowing within the slime monster's green body; it was Beta's explosive power.

Goodness, other slimes at most swallow some metal objects, but this thing actually swallowed the explosive power.

So, could it be that the problem with the natural disaster system is because of this guy?

A slime monster whose status in the Alien family is similar to that of Alpha back then?

Buzz!

Just then, the egg of evolution suddenly began to shake violently, constantly emitting a long-lost fluctuation.

Is this slime a mutant?!

Bai Qi's eyes lit up immediately. He was about to have Alpha release the restraints and study the little guy properly when the explosive power inside the slime suddenly erupted, blasting the slime into countless fragments.

Looking at the slime monster's remains that had completely turned the entire ice crystal box green, Bai Qi was somewhat bewildered.

The mutant was gone before it even had a chance to warm up—no, it was gone before it could even be warmed up at all.

Realizing he had missed out on Bai Huahua's progress, Bai Qi glared angrily at Beta, while Beta looked completely innocent.

Huh?

(It pounced on me on its own, is it my fault?)

Just as Bai Qi was about to teach this stupid dog a lesson, a strange sound suddenly came from inside the ice crystal box. The pools of green liquid slowly gathered together and condensed into the shape of a slime monster once again.

However, compared to its previous lush green appearance, it now has some red markings.

Click-clack.

The slime seemed to have developed a strong interest in Beta, and two large, watery eyes emerged from its liquid body, staring intently in Beta's direction.

It was blown apart from the inside by the explosive force and still came out unscathed. Is this little guy still a slime monster?

"Alpha, release it."

The white signified that Alpha should unlock the box, and the slime, once freed, immediately bounced and leaped towards the husky.

Huh?

Upon seeing this, Beta immediately tried to run away. A slime that can't explode is not a good work of art.

"Beta, don't move, let it suck!"

Seeing that Beta wanted to escape, Bai Qi immediately stopped Beta from moving. Although Beta was unwilling, it had no choice but to give up resisting because it still had Shuke, the "traitorous dog," on its body.

Soon, the slime jumped onto Beta, circled around Beta, and seemed to be looking for something.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately understood and said, "Beta, try unleashing the explosive power, just be careful to use a small amount."

Upon hearing this, Beta sighed helplessly and gathered a small wisp of explosive power at the tip of his claw.

Snap snap snap!

Upon seeing this, the slime immediately followed Beta's body to the tip of its claws and carefully enveloped the explosive power.

Sure enough, after being enveloped by the slime, the explosive power quickly broke free from Beta's control and was absorbed into the slime's body, where it caused a series of tiny explosions.

This time, the slime's body wasn't blown to pieces; it just swelled up slightly before returning to its original shape.

This little guy is really tough!

Seeing this, Bai Qi became even more interested in the slime and placed his hand on it.

[Name]: Slime Monster

[Attribute]: Alien (Physical Mutation)

[Growth Level]: Tier 0, Level 9

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Servant

[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption, Mimicry, Corrosion, Toxin Resistance, Explosion Resistance, Radiation Resistance, Electric Current Resistance...

[Energy Value]: 2400

[Status]: Can Evolve

It really is a mutant!

Looking at the physical mutation behind the slime's attributes, Bai Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Not only did they get a free Disaster System this time, they also gained a mutant. Wu Yi is truly a benefactor!

Xia Xuan's status has decreased by one...

"But what's with this little guy's abnormal energy levels, and all that resistance..."

Looking at the long resistance bar on the slime's back, Bai Qi suddenly understood why this guy was able to survive in the natural disaster system.

"Is the explosion resistance developed from absorbing explosive power?"

Bai Qi glanced at the slime monster that was anxiously circling Beta because it couldn't absorb the explosive power, and then looked at Beta, who looked utterly hopeless. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Beta, from now on, this guy is yours to raise!"

Wang!

(Human, are you sure you're speaking human language?!)

The husky glared angrily, wishing it could crack open Bai Qi's head to see what he was thinking. On the other hand, the slime seemed to understand Bai Qi's words and darted onto Beta's head, curiously examining Bai Qi.

Seeing that the slime monster actually possessed such intelligence, Bai Qi became even more satisfied and said, "Little guy, would you like to stay with me? I'll provide you with three full meals a day!"

Click-clack.

The slime was stunned for a moment, then mimicked Bai Qi's actions, conjuring a palm and waving it at Bai Qi.

"This means, five meals a day?"

Click-clack.

The slime retracted its hand and then stuck to Beta's head, remaining motionless.

Like the undead, the alien type doesn't have the concept of sleep, but they still need to rest.

Judging from the slime's appearance, it must have eaten too much.

"I didn't expect this slime to be such a glutton; it's so easy to fool."

Seeing the slime monster clinging to Beta and refusing to leave, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle, while Beta looked miserable, trying hard to grab it off.

"Don't take it off, it's fine as it is."

Bai Qi glanced at the husky's striking green head, forcibly suppressing a smile, and said, "This color suits you quite well, so don't take it off."

With such a slime monster that can absorb energy and is not afraid of explosions, he doesn't have to worry about being blown up by Beta's art one day.

Upon hearing this, Beta glared angrily, wishing he could rush up and fight Bai Qi to the death, but after seeing Alpha poised to attack behind Bai Qi, he gave up.

A dog's revenge is never too late.

Once I've mastered my cultivation, I'll teach this stinking bone a lesson!

"Shuke, check the natural disaster system again to see if there are any problems."

Shuke nodded and activated the natural disaster system again. The previously quiet slime seemed to smell a familiar scent and immediately woke up.

Click-clack.

Upon seeing the familiar food in front of him, the slime instinctively wanted to leave Beta's head and return to the Cataclysm system, while Beta showed a relieved expression.

With something like this around, how can I properly study art?!

However, the slime monster seemed unable to resist the temptation of the explosive power, and after shaking for a while, it returned to Beta's head.

Awooo!!!

(My artistic dog life has come to an end...)

Beta let out a mournful cry that soared to the heavens, but it was only halfway through its roar before Shuk knocked it unconscious with an electric shock.

The power of the Thunder Stone also attracted the attention of the slime, but unfortunately, it seemed to be able to only absorb the released power. After swimming around Shuk's mechanical body for a while, it gave up.

"The natural disaster system is functioning normally. It must be this slime monster that is affecting the flow of energy, causing the natural disaster system to malfunction."

Shuke glanced at the slime monster above Beta's head and said, "It can withstand the erosion of the natural disaster system's energy and resist the explosive force. I suggest that the Beastmaster consider making it his third pet."

Contract, this slime monster?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Bai Qi's eyes.

Mutants are rare and hard to come by, so this slime monster is indeed worth a contract.

But the third one he wanted to contract was a flying-type pet!

……

Star Machine Academy.

With the arrival of summer vacation, all students have left campus and begun their enjoyable holiday life.

However, Star Machine Academy did not become deserted because of this; on the contrary, it was bustling with people.

"Indeed, my decision to make a special trip to the city was the right one!"

Lu Yuan weaved through the crowded streets, looking at the brand-new teaching building and the huge plaque in front of him, his face full of smiles.

Necromancer Department, Star Machine Academy

He had some suspicions when he heard Minghuang suddenly announce that he was settling in Gusu City, so he made a special trip to the highly competitive city to study, hoping to catch the first wave of the undead craze.

However, various things happened in Gusu City afterward, and he never heard any more news about the upcoming opening of the Necromancer Department, so he gradually gave up.

However, just as he was beginning to forget about the matter, Star Machine Academy suddenly announced that it would be opening a Necromancer Department and invited Minghuang to serve as its honorary dean.

Upon hearing this news, countless young necromancer beast tamers from various cities across the Federation rushed to the Star Machine Academy in Gusu City to enroll, hoping to receive instruction from Minghuang.

In other words, Gusu City takes care of local students; otherwise, Lu Yuan seriously doubted whether he could have registered.

Lu Yuan was planning to finish the registration process as soon as possible and then grab a good spot in the conference hall when he saw Bai Qizheng struggling to squeeze through the crowd from afar.

"What's that guy doing in the Necromancer's Department?"

Lu Yuan was a little confused, but he took the initiative to walk over. Bai Qi also noticed Lu Yuan's presence and asked, "Lu Yuan, what brings you here?"

"That's what I should be asking you."

Lu Yuan pointed somewhat speechlessly to the necromancy department's teaching building next to him and said, "Of course I came here to enroll in the necromancy department, not to play around, right?"

"oh oh."

Bai Qi suddenly realized and said, "I was wondering why there were so many people today. So enrollment has already started?"

Seeing Bai Qi's out-of-touch appearance, Lu Yuan inwardly scoffed.

You're a student of Star Machine Academy, can't you be a little more concerned about your own academy's affairs?

Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I heard that a brand new evolution method for the Undead type will be revealed at the opening ceremony. Your main pet is also Undead, so why don't you go and listen to it too? It might be helpful to you."

"Okay, thank you."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this. He usually thought this guy was a quiet, reserved person, but he was surprised to find that he was actually quite helpful.

If Lu Yuan finds out that he developed this evolution method, he probably won't come after me.
