BEAST TAMING: I CAN EVOLVE INFINITELY

Chapter 741: Chapter 736: Shadow of the Heavy Shadow

“A professional task-assessment system?”

Bai Wuji narrowed his eyes, seemingly considering the feasibility of Bai Qi’s proposal.

“Exactly, according to you, Bai bro, the difficulty of the tasks issued by the Crying Bar is all determined by the pub matron, right?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “I’m not questioning the matron’s ability, but I think no easy task would catch her eye.”

“Perhaps, she would personally assign these tasks to you, Bai bro, but what about other tasks?”

“If a Beast Master misjudges and takes on a task beyond their capability, wouldn’t that be suicidal?”

“But what if an organization could be established that has a task-assessment system and a Beast Master’s strength-assessment system, to reasonably allocate tasks? I suppose it’d be better for both the ones issuing and receiving the tasks, right?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Bai Wuji fell silent, but the gleam in his eyes grew brighter.

“Bai Qi, I increasingly feel that it was a matchless right decision to pull you into the pub!”

Bai Wuji gave Bai Qi a solid pat on the shoulder and said, “If we actually could do as you suggested, then the Beast Master fatality rate might not be so high.”

“It’s not a might, but rather a certainty.”

Bai Qi said earnestly, “Once these plans are confirmed, we could even train a group of Beast Masters who we are familiar with, to ensure the completion rate of tasks. Once our reputation spreads, many other things will naturally fall into place.”

This isn’t just some bluff from Bai Qi; in his future world, the operations of the Beast Master Association are exactly as such—absolutely mature.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that after barely escaping from a branch president’s role in his future life, he is now promoting the birth of the Beast Master Association.

One might say, everything was destined to be; there was simply no escaping fate…

“Hahaha…this sounds really great.”

Bai Wuji burst into laughter, looked at the roast pig in front of him, and said, “Let’s eat first, I’m starved to death. Let Xiao Huang think about these complex stuff later.”

“Alright then…”

Seeing this, Bai Qi said no more; he’d planted the seed, and the rest was for the founders to figure out.

If it were really up to him to come up with a complete plan, he wouldn’t be able to do it. Besides, he still had a young Martial Emperor to train.

To train an Emperor or establish the Beast Master Association…

Well, the former seemed to be more fun!

Gamma’s cooking skills were becoming more exquisite. Bai Wuji spent the entire meal praising his work, and even the ethereal Golden-winged Roc couldn’t help but take a piece.

“Bai bro, it’s been quite a while now, are you sure your target is here?”

Bai Qi wiped his mouth, looking at the unchanging darkness around them as he spoke.

“According to the data shown in the intel, it indeed should be here.”

Bai Wuji slightly furrowed his brows, looked at the roast meat in his hand and said, “Has its taste changed then? Last time, it was attracted by the roast meat.”

“You really plan to attract the prey with roast meat…”

Bai Qi smirked. Initially, he thought Bai Wuji was planning to use them as bait to attract the prey, while the roast meat was just something to munch on while they waited.

But now it seemed like he must have overthought it?

“Yes, indeed. This prey is extremely cautious. It won’t appear under normal circumstances. If it wasn’t for the fact that I attracted it with roast meat once before, I wouldn’t have any other methods.”

Bai Wuji slightly nodded, then picked up a piece of roast meat and allowed the Golden-winged Roc to fan the scent into the forest.

“Extremely cautious, yet can be attracted by roast meat? What kind of contradictory behaviour is this?”

Bai Qi clicked his tongue, about to make a sarcastic comment, when Bai Wuji’s movements suddenly halted. He fixated his gaze on the area before him.

Behind a thick chunk of tree root, a pair of little white ears wiggled out then quickly disappeared. Before Bai Qi could see what it looked like, the pair of ears had already withdrawn.

Was that the target? Could it really be attracted by roast meat?

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately realized the situation. Coupled with Bai Wuji’s expression, his guess was confirmed.

True to what Bai Wuji said, the creature was extremely cautious and only revealed its ears, not daring to show its head.

But Bai Wuji appeared to be well aware of the creature’s habits. He gently set the roast meat on the ground and slowly retreated.

Finally, when Bai Wuji reached a certain distance from the roast meat, the owner of the ears emerged.

A creature appeared, fur white as snow, eyes blood red…

Well, it was a bunny.

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, finally intrigued.

In such a dangerous place like the heart of the Heavy Shadow Forest, the presence of an ordinary-looking bunny felt pretty out of place.

“Could it be some rare species? I seem to have not seen it in the Beast Record.”

Under Bai Qi’s intrigued gaze, the bunny finally left the tree root, taking three steps back for each step forward. After a long while, it reached the roast meat.

“Should we make a move?”

Noticing the situation, Bai Qi asked quietly, but before Bai Wuji could answer, the bunny looking ready to dine suddenly tensed up and bolted back, not looking back.

Although it seemed slow in approach, the bunny’s escape was blazing fast. In an instant, it returned to the tree root. Well…

He was knocked unconscious.

Guarding the tree stump waiting for rabbits, ancient wisdom never let me down.

“Brother Bai, are you sure this is our target? It seems somewhat… not very bright.”

Bai Qi opened his mouth as if to say something but then decided to go up and check the rabbit’s status. Suddenly the Husky ran out, using its Three Lives Soul Tribulation ability to engulf everything around it.

Then, Bai Qi saw a golden soul body rising from the rabbit, racing deeper into the forest.

“Soul dissociation? Soul escape?”

“Bai Qi, you have a spiritual pet? This is excellent, quickly restrain it!”

Seeing the rabbit’s spirit show itself, Bai Wuji’s eyes lit up, he exclaimed loudly.

“Understood.”

Bai Qi lightly nodded his head. No need to say, this soul body might actually be Bai Wuji’s target.

“Beta, capture it.”

Howl, howl!

(Leave it to me!)

Beta nodded its head, its vertical pupils flashing on its forehead. The black energy generated by the Three Lives Soul Tribulation turned into a long dragon, throwing itself at the golden soul body.

Within the range of this Soul Tribulation, unless the spirit power surpassed Husky, it couldn’t resist this invasive power.

Just when Beta was about to trap the golden soul body with the Soul Tribulation, planning to bring it back, the golden soul body directly passed through the Tribulation, running toward the distance.

Moreover, it ran straight out of the range of the Tribulation, disappearing from Bai Qi and the others’ sights!

“Beta stop messing around, if we let this creature get away it won’t be easy to find.”

Bai Qi frowned at the situation, but Beta looked innocent, expanding the range of the Tribulation once more to reveal the golden soul body again.

“This soul body, it’s very special.”

Jerry, with his eyes of dark gold, carefully scrutinized the golden soul body. Afterward, he detached from Beta, and initiated the chase personally.

Looking at Jerry quickly approaching, covered head to toe in strange patterns, the golden soul body whole body quivered, speeding up its pace in an attempt to escape.

But Jerry’s speed was clearly faster. He reached the soul body first, and the staff condensed from the Tribulation’s energy was about to smash onto the soul body’s head.

“Uh, wait, Brother Bai, did the boss lady say whether we should capture it alive or dead?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eye twitched. It was too late to stop it.

“Nonsense, of course we want it to be alive!”

Bai Wuji’s eyes glinted, the Golden-winged Roc’s eyes emitted a golden light, intending to use its legendary power.

But, just at that moment, the golden soul body that was about to be hit by the staff suddenly flashed, narrowly avoided Jerry’s attack, and disappeared completely.

“It ran away?”

The sight surprised Bai Qi. First, it ignored the Tribulation’s energy, then it avoided Jerry’s attack and now it had entirely disappeared.

No wonder this legendary Bai Wuji was so troubled; indeed, it had its ways.

“But… Brother Bai, if that rabbit was scared off by you just now, I’m not responsible.”

Bai Qi looked at Bai Wuji. Although it seemed like the rabbit was scared off by Jerry, Bai Qi saw it clearly. Just when the Golden-winged Roc released its legendary aura, the aura on the rabbit also changed.

Although only for a moment, Beta’s three consciousnesses simultaneously sensed a powerful spiritual pressure far beyond its level.

This pressure carried no malice, but it was relentless, even causing Beta’s consciousness to briefly stall.

“Sorry, I just couldn’t hold back…”

Bai Wuji showed a remorseful expression, saying, “It’s not easy to come across this creature, I was worried about you and… I got a bit impatient.”

“I don’t believe a being that can immobilize so many people at once would be injured by a mere Emperor Creature.”

Bai Qi said, “So, Brother Bai, you can tell me now exactly what this thing is?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I wasn’t wholly sure before.”

Bai Wuji paused, saying, “Do you know about the two rulers of the Heavy Shadow Forest?”

“I’m not aware of it…”

“The Heavy Shadow Forest is a unique existence within the Six Countries, the only place where two legendary creatures coexist without belonging to a tribe.”

“Heavy and Shadow, these represent the two legendary creatures.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi understood, saying, “So the one we encountered earlier, the golden soul body, is one of these two legendary creatures?”

“Yes, if the boss lady’s information is correct, that creature is the ‘Shadow’ in the Heavy Shadow.”

Bai Wuji nodded, a helpless smile on his face, saying, “This creature’s movements are the most unpredictable. Once it wants to flee, nobody can stop it; and every time it appears, each appearance is different from the last. Just like a concealed assassin in the shadows; you can see it but cannot catch it, thus it is called Shadow.”

“I thought we could catch it this time, seems I underestimated its reaction…”
