Chapter 362: Chapter 358: Want to be Buddhist? Impossible.

Whoosh~

A gust of cold wind brushed across Bai Qi’s face, draining his enthusiasm as he looked at his five pets’ indifferent expressions, which made him lose interest.

“Couldn’t you guys be a little more enthusiastic, show some competitive spirit?”

Bai Qi looked as if his heart was in pain, wishing there was a way he could give his five pets a motivational speech.

Howl~

(Human, you can already identify what materials are best for us, just make the decisions for us.)

Chomp, Waddle.

(Gamma has already devoured a mythical source last time, no need now.)

Bubble, Bubble.

(Delta has consumed the most resources, no need now.)

“Um, if all the seniors are not going, I would rather not either.”

Seeing the pets’ lack of interest, Bai Qi felt a twitch at the corner of his eyes.

These guys, they really didn’t understand the value of resources.

Now that conditions are good, they even look down on mythical resources.

“Alpha, what do you think?”

Crunch, Crunch.

(Boss, I listen to you.)

Upon hearing Alpha’s reply, Bai Qi finally showed a relieved smile.

Alpha is always the prudent one, having endured hardships alongside him, he sure knows how to read the room.

Crunch, Crunch.

(However, I don’t see any need for this resource competition either, as they won’t beat me.)

Bai Qi: “!!!”

Bai Qi looked at Alpha, surprised, startled, and desolate…

His emotions were changing so fast, probably more than a master of disguise.

When did Alpha become so tactless!

“Forget it, just do whatever you want. I want to be alone.”

Howl…

(Alone is…)

Schuck stopped Beta from making any more jokes and consoled Bai Qi.

“Beast Master, you don’t need to be so depressed, stop the rat race, it starts with us, this might also help ease your stress, right?”

Hearing Schuck’s words, Bai Qi forced a smile, looking at his five pets who seemed to have adopted a Zen-like attitude, he suddenly had an idea, and a sly grin crossed his face.

“So be it then, from now on food, research materials, parasites, and all such things will be random. Even battles will be as few as possible, let’s all relax a bit.”

!!!

The five pets immediately perked up,

Howl!

(Human, you dare use such a thing to threaten your own pets, where’s your humanity! Where’s your conscience!)

“Humanity? Conscience?”

The grin on Bai Qi’s face even more devious, “How much is that worth?”

“I suddenly think your idea is quite good, Beast Master. Competition is a critical drive for evolution, let’s get started,” Schuck straightened his face and stepped into the teleportation circle without looking back. The rest of the pets followed suit.

For a moment, Bai Qi was left alone in the vast underground chamber.

“You guys can’t escape my control, you wish to be idle, but that’s not going to happen.”

Bai Qi’s face beamed with a smug grin, but he soon noticed the skeletal soldiers gradually converging on him, and hurriedly chased after his pets.

“You guys, are you trying to murder your Beast Master!”

…

Undead Hill.

The appearance of the Twilight Tomb had led the city’s stationed forces and the Beast Master Association of Gusu City to fortify the place, installing heavy weaponry all around. The tightly woven surveillance net was closely monitoring all movements within the Undead Hill.

A secret realm potentially hiding legendary undead creatures, nestled on the Undead Hill where the Undead Catastrophe once unfolded. Both the Federation and the Beast Master Association had to take it seriously.

“Right at this pivotal moment, we have the added complication of a Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb. Truly when it rains, it pours,” President Qin’s eyes flickered with exhaustion. In recent times, both the Federation and the Beast Masters were viewy involved with beasts stirring up chaos all around. The situation at Taize Lake had just settled down, and now a Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb had surfaced here, leaving no room for rest.

“President Qin, have you found any trace of Bai Qi?”

Duanmeng glanced around, asking.

“From the images sent by the surveillance network, Bai Qi seems to have entered this Great Tomb,” pointing at the Great Tomb before them, President Qin continued, “Has Professor Dong arrived yet?”

Duanmeng nodded, “As soon as Professor Dong received the message, he rushed over. However, this Great Tomb is quite old. The Rune Department needs to make some preparations.”

“Hmm.”

Upon hearing this, President Qin nodded in understanding and then looked at Cao, Sun, Liu, and Sima Jing standing behind Duanmeng, saying, “I didn’t expect the four of you masters to still be here. This is quite surprising. Shouldn’t there be a lot that requires your attention in your respective guilds?”

Cao Bin smiled and replied, “The three of us were initially discussing matters with the Wuhou Corporation and were about to leave when we ran into the emergence of the great tomb. As for Head Sima, I’m not too sure.”

Cao Bin’s words drew everyone’s attention to Sima Jing, who still carried a friendly smile, and said, “Gusu City is the cradle of rune evolution, and although our Sima family focuses on the Shadow Department, we can say we have some understanding of undead creatures. So naturally, we wanted to stay and learn more.”

“I see.”

President Qin nodded and said, “I’m grateful that you all are paying such close attention to the developments in Gusu City. However, the area is now being managed by the association, so you won’t need to trouble yourselves.”

Upon hearing President Qin’s words, Cao, Sun, and Liu did not respond.

They were just there for the spectacle after having heard about it. Though the Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb had significant research value, it was significantly divergent from their main focus, there was no need to oppose the association for it.

More so, they would quite like to see Sima Jing and the association lock horns.

“In that case, I won’t take up more of President Qin’s time. If the Zhonghu Dojo can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.”

The unexpected response from Sima Jing made Cao Bin’s group slightly taken aback. He very quickly exited the dispute over the Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb without any argument with President Qin.

Seeing this, President Qin frowned slightly. The people from the Sima family were all complex thinkers, and every one of them was patient. The quicker they agreed, the more plans they must have had.

“These fellows, they are really troublesome…”

President Qin massaged his brow, looking slightly pained. Then he gestured to a Beast Master standing nearby and said, “Go to the headquarters and request the Legendary Celestial Brilliance!”

The complexity of this secret realm far exceeded that of the Gemini Tower. With their current manpower, it would be impossible to crack open the entrance in a short time. If it were a normal occasion, it would be fine, but with Bai Qi trapped inside, there was no time to lose.

Putting personal feelings aside, if something happened to Bai Qi, it would be a massive loss for both the Federation and the association, even for the entirety of human society.

“This disaster has remained for a thousand years. I hope nothing happens to that kid…”

…

Twilight Tomb.

The second floor.

Due to certain unscrupulous Beast Master’s threats, the pets seemed to be on a frenzy, killing all the undead creatures they saw. If not for Alpha and Delta standing guard around Bai Qi, he might have already become one of these undead creatures.

“This second floor is noticeably larger than the first one.”

Bai Qi surveyed his surroundings. Compared to the crypt-like appearance of the first floor, the second floor showed a significant change.

Starry sky, grassland, high temperature – there were times when Bai Qi thought he had been transported to a tropical grassland.

Crack, crack.

(Boss, the undead here lean more towards a fire attribute, similar to the Gemini Tower.)

After receiving information from the Six Sword Servants, Alpha relayed the current situation to Bai Qi.

“Hmm, perhaps the location of the Gemini Tower isn’t merely a coincidence.”

Bai Qi nodded in agreement. Even though the Gemini Tower and the Black and White Tower were both secret realms of the Law Emperor, their locations were peculiarly distinct. If it were due to the Twilight Tomb, it would make more sense.

However, looking at the current situation, it seemed the Law Emperor might not have reached the next level yet?

If he had, there should be more than just water and fire-attribute secret realm towers by now.

Or, perhaps the undead creatures in the lower levels didn’t meet the Law Emperor’s requirements?

Boom!

Just as Bai Qi was contemplating, an explosion happened not too far away. A surge of the rich, holy light shot up into the sky, but it quickly quieted down.

“Holy Light? It seems that Gamma found it first.”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi chuckled. The Holy Light series had a great ability to restrain the Undead Department unless it was the likes of Alpha who had an understanding of the Death Force Field and could take a direct hit from the Holy Light Angel. In the face of holy light, these ordinary undead creatures practically served themselves on a platter.

Swiftly, Bai Qi, riding on Delta, arrived where the Holy Light had been seen. From a distance, he could see a Flame Ghost slowly disappearing in the holy light while a Flame Skeleton, left with only half of its body, was struggling in vain.

“Tsk, tsk, this is just how I expected.”

Bai Qi approached Gamma, and the few other pets, hearing the noise, also gathered around swiftly after.

Woof, woof!

(Damn it! I thought I found the guardian, but it turned out to be a pile of rocks.)

“Just as I expected, I’ve told you before that the energy fluctuation over there seemed odd, but you were stubborn about it.”

Schuck mercilessly taunted Beta, and Jerry looked at Beta dispassionately, making Beta feel completely dejected.

Awo…

(I’m a waste, I won’t talk next time…)

“My apologies, chief, I didn’t find anything.”

It was Parasitism that arrived last. The commotion caused by the seven ferocious beasts running even lifted the half-skeleton in flight.

“It’s fine, just keep trying next time.”

Bai Qi nodded, then turned to Alpha, saying, “Alpha, let’s allow the Six Sword Servants to deliver the final blow.”

Alpha nodded and had the Six Sword Servants summoned to his side. They transformed into six large swords, intending to deliver the final blow to the Flame Skeleton.

The soul of a mid-level lord would offer significant enhancement for the Six Sword Servants, and shouldn’t be wasted.

Rumble…

Just as that happened, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Magma erupted from beneath the ground, engulfing the half skeleton and the ghost that was about to completely disappear.

After that, a fiery-red rune array slowly emerged from the magma. An intimidating aura instantly filled the grassland.

“I was wondering, how can the legendary Tomb be so straightforward on its second floor.”

There was no surprise on Bai Qi’s face, instead, there was a hint of anticipation.

With an event of this scale, the rewards should not be scarce, right?
