Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 35 Convergence

"I'll wait and see." Huang Zhou smiled, neither saying he believed nor disbelieved. After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your conjecture until you successfully verify it."

As he spoke, Huang Zhou winked at Qiao Bai.

He didn't know the specific research topics on extraordinary creatures by professors in other provinces who were studying the evolution of pets, but he had a general understanding of the research topics of several professors in NY.

Sun Guoping and Gu Hongyu, a married couple, are researching new evolutionary paths for the Little Fire Fox and the Red Flame Dog, and it is said that they will soon have new results.

If they knew that Qiao Bai was trying to evolve the little fire fox... it's hard to say how they would view Qiao Bai's actions.

Huang Zhou's words reassured Qiao Bai.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Huang Zhouni and agreeing to go to the forbidden land together to inspect the mines the next day, Qiao Bai left the Beast Taming Alliance.

When he saw the sun outside, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

Although the process was a little bumpy, Qiao Bai knew he had made the right gamble and successfully gained Huang Zhou's initial trust.

What he needs to do next is to confirm how to use this mine and urge Qi Yue to continue to push Little Fire Fox.

But before that...

Qiao Bai first released Xiao Wu.

As soon as Xiao Wu, who had been in the Beast Taming Space for several hours, came out, he excitedly bounced around on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

Although the Beast Taming Space can accommodate pets to rest, most pets do not like to stay in the Beast Taming Space except for necessary rest time.

The same is true for Xiao Wu.

Compared to other beast tamers, Qiao Bai was even more apprehensive because Xiao Wu could freely enter and exit his spiritual sea beast taming space, and Xiao Wu would come out on its own if it was unhappy!

The fact that Xiao Wu could stay in the Beast Taming Space for almost two extra hours today was all thanks to Qiao Bai's persistent persuasion last night.

"Alright, alright, stop acting like you've finally gotten out for some fresh air." Qiao Bai chuckled and reached out to push Xiao Wu's round body. "Anyone who didn't know better would think I was abusing you."

Little Wu nuzzled against Qiao Bai's outstretched finger, its round, beady eyes fixed on him.

Qiao Bai: ...Damn it, a non-existent conscience suddenly throbbed.

"How about I go buy you some snacks?" Unable to resist Xiao Wu's adorable gaze, Qiao Bai surrendered.

Xiao Wu: (*^▽^*)

Qiao Bai comforted himself, this was not spoiling Xiao Wu without limits, it was just that the family had a new source of income, and he couldn't let Xiao Wu continue to live a frugal life with him.

Investing in pets is another way of investing in the future!

……

The next day, Qiao Bai got up very early, with a light bluish-black ring under his eyes.

The answer is that Qiao Bai couldn't sleep last night, tossing and turning. He got up in the middle of the night and saw that it was another popular opportunity to do a ten-pull, so he couldn't resist...

The result of this ten-pull was that nine of them went by default, and the only item was a white item called "The Complete Guide to High-Level Herbs".

Qiao Bai remained silent; he couldn't sleep at all.

I can barely close my eyes before they snap open again, and I angrily berate myself for doing a ten-pull in the middle of the night.

The pitch-black night without moonlight was a testament to his extreme bad luck!

Qiao Bai could only console himself by thinking of it as a preparatory step for drawing the skill of [Fire Fox Queen] later. He was sure he would get the skill in the next ten-pull!

After eating a larger breakfast than usual, Qiao Bai slung his pre-packed backpack over his shoulder, opened a ride-hailing app on his phone, and prepared to head to the forbidden land to meet up with the exploration team arranged by Huang Zhou.

Xiao Wu stood energetically on Qiao Bai's shoulder, its dark eyes seemingly glowing, clearly showing its great interest in today's activities.

"You can come with me, but you can't do whatever you want." Qiao Bai turned to look at Xiao Wu and made a "three-point agreement" with Xiao Wu in advance.

Xiao Wu raised its head, its tuft of hair twitching, and gave Qiao Bai an indignant look.

It's as if it's saying: Don't you still believe me?

Qiao Bai: ...I'm not really that reassured.

"I believe you, I believe you." Qiao Bai nodded with a helpless smile. "If I don't believe my little Wu, who else can I believe?"

Xiao Wu withdrew his bright, burning gaze from Qiao Bai with satisfaction.

Qiao Bai set off a little early and waited a while before a car came to pick him up. However, Qiao Bai still arrived at the outer edge of the forbidden land more than forty minutes earlier than the time agreed upon yesterday.

Then Qiao Bai was deeply shocked by the scene before him.

No matter how much you learn from the internet, from words, or from snippets of conversation, nothing is as powerful as seeing it with your own eyes!

The city wall, as thick and sturdy as the Great Wall, is built of an unknown bluish-black material and stretches for thousands of meters. Its beginning and end are nowhere in sight. One can vaguely see beast tamers patrolling around with armored giant rhinoceroses on the city wall.

Qiao Bai learned from the book that these city walls were built to prevent wild and untamed supernatural creatures from rushing into the city and wreaking havoc. The beast tamers stationed on the city walls were all fifth-level or higher beast tamers who held official positions. Their pay was very generous, but their work was also quite arduous.

If any supernatural creatures are found attacking or damaging a section of the city wall, they must be eliminated immediately.

Even if you can't resist the attack, you must desperately hold them off to buy time for a stronger beast tamer to arrive and rescue you.

In certain special periods, the city walls can also serve to defend against beast tides... However, the last beast tide occurred more than 500 years ago, and for a very long time, there has not been an incident in which more than ten extraordinary creatures collectively attacked the city walls.

Inside the city wall, there were simple stalls of all sizes. Qiao Bai glanced at them and saw that it was quite lively.

The aroma of food, the bitter and sour taste of herbs, the smell of blood...

The various scents intertwined, and when blown by the wind, they created a unique, wild, and vibrant atmosphere that stirred the blood and evoked primal desires and impulses.

This was the first time Xiao Wu had ever seen such a scene.

The feathers, which had been lying flat, suddenly burst open under the stimulation of the bloody smell and lingering energy emanating from the extraordinary creatures that had been hunted, dismembered, and brought back to the city walls. They stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder and looked exactly like a small, perfectly round black ball.

Many people cast curious glances at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai walked straight to the city gate without looking to the side, and immediately saw the person in the photo Huang Zhou had given him.

The man was middle-aged, but unlike Huang Zhou who sat in an office all year round, he had a well-proportioned figure. The armor that tightly covered his arms outlined the lean and powerful muscles below. He was about 1.8 meters tall, and a huge eagle that was about the same height as him stood next to him.

Its bluish-green feathers are sharp like weapons, its eyes are as sharp as copper bells, and its black beak looks deadly.

"Hello." As Qiao Bai looked at the other person, the other person also looked at him. "I'm Qiao Bai. Could you please take me inside today?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man He Jinzhou immediately recalled his conversation with Huang Zhou the day before.

The news of the discovery of a mineral deposit in the Forbidden Land had reached most of the exploration teams that frequented the Forbidden Land. They were waiting for official confirmation and announcement. Unexpectedly, before that, he received a commission from Huang Zhou, the president of the Beast Taming Alliance, to go in and check the specific situation of the mineral deposit.

With money to be made and the opportunity to get insider information, He Jinzhou certainly couldn't refuse such a good deal!

Unexpectedly, after discussing all the requirements and preparations for exploring the mines, Huang Zhou added an extra request: that their exploration team bring one more person.

No special care is needed; just bring people in and out properly.

He Jinzhou wanted to refuse at the time. Exploration missions and escort missions are completely different things. Chairman Huang wanted to pay them to do two jobs at once.

"I'll pay more." The three words "Huangzhou" lightly dismissed the words He Jinzhou hadn't had time to say.

You can't expect to get something for nothing from them.

More money? No problem!

Regardless of who the other party is, maybe Chairman Huang simply doesn't trust them enough and wants someone to keep an eye on them?

Just treat it like you've brought an ancestor to worship!

However, after seeing that Qiao Bai was too young and could not possibly be a professor, expert, or informant, He Jinzhou couldn't help but doubt his own guess.

No way... Chairman Huang probably sent his son in to broaden his horizons!
