Chapter 356: Chapter 352: Porcupine-Man Invades!
Crack.
Accompanied by the sound of shell shattering, the Platinum Eggs suddenly exploded, and a golden beetle slowly flew out from inside. Where the golden light illuminated, some rainbow light could vaguely be seen.
“Boss, it seems I have gained a…huh, where’s the boss?”
Feeling the fresh power he had just comprehended, Vine Grass was itching to share it with Bai Qi and his companions, only to find out that the huge room was empty. He alone filled it.
“It seems that I slept for too long, and the boss left first.”
Piecing it together, Vine Grass quickly grasped the situation. He intended to go outside and test his new skills. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard a deafening roar.
“Is Zero Delta fighting with someone?”
Vine Grass’s eyes brightened, and his gossip soul ignited at once. He flapped his wings and swiftly flew toward the source of the noise.
However, before he could get close, he heard Bai Qi’s voice.
“After joining the Spirit Power Storage Device, the evolution maintenance time of Dragon Cub Beast has indeed improved a lot. Unfortunately, the Dragon Cub Beast is a bit weak, and can maintain it for at most three minutes.”
Bai Qi looked at the Dragon Cub Beast, who was undergoing various tests under Zero Delta’s guidance, with some regret.
“The problem with the Dragon Cub Beast is similar to that of Zero Delta. It should be better if the level is raised, but the improvement is probably not too big.”
Beta expressed his opinion, “I suggest trying human spirit power, perhaps different results might occur.”
Bai Qi nodded. The human spirit clearly has a uniqueness. The spirit power’s enhancement on pets far exceeds that of others. This is why the speed of a contracted pet’s upgrade surpasses regular ferocious beasts.
Even, the reason why ferocious beasts raise humans to provide them spirit power is for human spirit power.
“But where do we find a Beast Master to help…”
Bai Qi smacked his lips, looking at the Mechanical Dragon Beast Cub that was gradually changing from a mechanical tyrannosaurus form back to the form of a dragon cub, and suddenly had an idea.
“Schuck, help me get the data on the Spirit-Control Orb, Rune Mechanical Armour, and Armament Evolution. I need them.”
“Do you need me to set up a model of the Dragon Cub Beast?”
“Yes.”
Bai Qi nodded, immediately got busy on the spot, and hadn’t noticed Vine Grass flying over from a distance.
“Boss, I have successfully evolved.”
“Hmm, very good.”
Bai Qi did not turn his head and continued to modify the Rune.
“I have comprehended a super skill.”
“Uh huh, not bad, keep trying hard next time…wait, what skill?”
Upon hearing Vine Grass’s words, Bai Qi finally reacted, and turned his head to look at Vine Grass.
There was no visible change in the overall form of Vine Grass, except the rainbow-like light wandering on the colorful tentacles on his head seemed somewhat hypnotic.
Seeing that Bai Qi finally paid attention to him, Vine Grass straightened up immediately and transmitted his holographic condition to Bai Qi.
[Name]: Dream-eating Vine (Epsilon)
[Nature]: Insect (mythical species) Plant symbiosis
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Growth Level]: Four stages Level eight
[Skills]: Sun Wheel (Transcendent level—proficient), Soul Eating (Super—perfect), Absolute Control (Super—master), Dream Creation (Super—perfect), Entering Dreams (High level—perfect), Deep Sleep (High level—perfect)
[Energy Value]: 2E9800W
[Condition]: Evolvable.
…
“Imprisonment and Parasitism are gone but an Absolute Control is added?”
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, focusing his Spirit Power on Absolute Control.
[Skill Name]: Absolute Control
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Description]: The seed is condensed and implanted into the enemy’s body, occupying the enemy’s central control, thus taking complete control of the enemy.
Remark: Parasite quantity (0/7)
…
“Can it control remotely via parasitism now?”
Bai Qi’s eyes brightened. Although he had expected it, he was quite satisfied with Vine Grass awakening to the super-level remote control skill.
“Epsilon, what is the upper limit level of your parasitism?”
“Reporting to the boss, I can easily control the Lord level. The King level is a bit difficult, after all, I still can’t completely suppress the spirit of the King level.”
Vine Grass paused, “But if it loses consciousness first, I should be able to control it, but I can only exert its physical power, and some skills, I cannot use.”
“Within expectation.”
Nine-Heart Flower Demon was the same. After controlling the Purple-blotted Snake, it only utilized the Lord level attribute of controlling a group and its physical form for battle. It did not possess any skills.
“But it doesn’t mean there’s no loophole to be exploited. Find a couple of beasts of the Combat System to host parasitism.”
Bai Qi grinned. Recently, the beasts have been jumping around like crazy everywhere. It would be so easy to find a few Combat System ferocious beasts.
The maximum control limit is seven, which can be planned properly.
Bai Qi pat Vine Grass’s head “Prepare your seeds first, once we meet suitable fierce beasts, we will parasite.”
“Understood, boss, I will go now.”
Vine Grass nodded one after the other.
Although it was not that his body had grown stronger, at least, he didn’t have to risk engaging in the battles himself anymore.
Neither Dream Vine nor Spirit Eating Worm were designed for front-line battles. His recent hardships were nearly killing him.
After seeing off the caterpillar fungus, Bai Qi continued with his research.
Soon, a cross-shaped rune structure gradually took shape.
“Schuck, carry out a simulation experiment. If all goes well, make a prototype.”
“No problem.”
Schuck nodded, took Bai Qi’s blueprint and continued his research.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly, stretched lazily and left the Secret Realm Base.
Above the sea of flowers, stars were scattered like chess pieces, indicating it was already deep into the night.
“Wow, it’s so late already.”
Looking up at the brilliant starry sky, Bai Qi only then realized how long he’d been in the Secret Realm Base.
“I’ll head back now, just in time to see if there’s any suitable ferocious beast for Epsilon to parasite.”
Bai Qi patted Delta. Understanding his intention, Delta flapped its wings, intending to return to Gusu City.
Whoosh~
A sharp spike grazed past Delta’s body. Delta dodged fervently, but still got its skin scratched, and staggered to one side.
Bai Qi tightly gripped the scales on Delta’s body, thus managing not to fall off, and summoned Alpha using his spirit power.
“Delta, are you okay?”
Blub blub.
(Master, I’m fine, just a little skin abrasion.)
Delta shook its head, brought Bai Qi to a safe place with it, and absorbed the toxin at the wound with its white armored elephant tail.
“Is the toxin?”
Bai Qi frowned slightly, looked down at the black sea of flowers, “Alpha, can you locate the enemy?”
Crrr crrr.
(I already found it.)
Alpha nodded, and the Undying Flame Sword flew out abruptly, directly falling into the sea of flowers beneath.
In an instant, demonic red flames covered the entire flower sea, burning any snake, bug, rat, and ant incapable of running away in time into ashes.
At the same time, a bulky figure sprang out, standing upright and rushing straight toward Alpha in the air.
“Ferocious beast? No, a beastman?”
In the moonlight, Bai Qi was finally able to see the appearance of the attacker.
The towering body, unlike that of a human, a fierce head resembling a porcupine, sharp tusks reflecting the white glow of the moonlight, and spikes on the back radiating a slightly green light.
Indeed, it was a man-shaped porcupine.
“Damn, a shapeshifted monster…no, a Porcupine-Man! Does this mean Shankou Mountain is starting to invade?”
Everyone knew that only legendary creatures could shapeshift. And even then, only a few would want to take on the fragile life form of a human.
The Porcupine-Man who ambushed them was clearly not a legendary creature, so it was relatively rare.
“Alpha, leave one alive.”
Seeing the Porcupine-Man punched away by Alpha’s sword, Bai Qi ordered Delta to increase distance and left the battlefield entirely to Alpha.
Crrr crrr.
(I’ll try.)
Alpha slowly landed, pulled out the Undying Flame Sword, and pointed it toward the Porcupine-Man.
It seemed that the Porcupine-Man also realized Alpha’s strength. He slightly stepped back, apparently planning to retreat.
Buzz~
Just then, a sword hum. The spikes on the Porcupine-Man’s back broke abruptly, revealing a green long sword, which quickly disappeared again.
Sword of the Wind Chaser.
Roar!
Knowing there was no way out, the Porcupine-Man’s ferocious character was stimulated. His eyes turned red, his breathing turned heavier, and forcefully stomped his strong legs. He then charged at Alpha like an arrow off from its string.
Although the Porcupine-Man was fast, such a straightforward attack was insufficient in front of Alpha. Avoiding it easily, Alpha swung the Sword of the Wind Chaser and cut a deep wound on the Porcupine-Man’s thigh.
With an injury that severe, the Porcupine-Man lost his balance and fell hard onto the ground, his bright tusks also penetrating the earth, causing a fierce explosion.
“Light Teeth Assault? It really is a ferocious beast.”
Seeing the Porcupine-Man use a skill, Bai Qi became even more curious about his identity.
If one looked past his porcupine head, the rest of his body was nearly identical to that of a human. If he had to describe it, it was somewhat similar to Jerry’s Death God form.
With that thought, Bai Qi promptly summoned Husky.
“Jerry, can you tell anything about this Porcupine-Man?”
Jerry nodded, a light flashed in his dark golden pupils as he scrutinized the Porcupine-Man. “It seems to be a human.”
“A human?”
Bai Qi was slightly surprised, and an image of Li Xusheng came unbidden to his mind.
It couldn’t be! Another cross-breed? Though this one seems to be dominated by beast genes?
But looking at the figure of this Porcupine-Man…
A Porcupine Knight…
emmm…
Can’t do it!
