Chapter 731: Sorry, I ate your pet...
Once this idea formed in Bai Qi's mind, it could no longer be driven away and gradually took root.
If he remembered correctly, the Beastmaster Association was indeed established during the reign of Emperor Wu. Calculating the time, it was almost the same.
Tsk, I suddenly want to take a photo with them, then I can bring it back and maybe I can exchange something with Zhao Futu.
Just when Bai Qi was struggling, Bai Wujie also realized his own gaffe and put on his original hearty smile again.
"Come on, let's not talk about this for now, let's have a drink first."
"good."
Bai Qi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the three people, then took a sip. It was indeed sweet, and Bai Qi didn't even taste much of the alcohol.
Sure enough, the old stuff is better, without any additives.
However, no matter how delicious it was, Bai Qi still didn't drink much and looked at Xiao Huang.
From the moment he appeared, Xiao Huang had been staring at him. Although he had no hostility, it was obvious that he was examining him.
Obviously, Xiao Huang still had some doubts about Bai Qi's origins.
"By the way, Bai Qi, you just said that you came from the Eastern Wasteland Country? Although Huangsong City is adjacent to the Eastern Wasteland Country, it is not easy to travel along this road. Are you also a beastmaster?"
Bai Qi nodded slightly and calmly revealed the six curse patterns on the back of his left hand.
He had already observed that most of the beastmasters at this level were at level three or four, and the rest were level five beastmasters.
As for the sixth-level beastmasters, there are only three of them in front of him.
Although Bai Qi wanted to hide more, considering the brief contact with Bai Wujie before, Bai Qi still chose to appear as a sixth-level beastmaster.
"Sixth-rank Beast Tamer... No wonder Bai Qi, your physical fitness is so good. I almost couldn't pull you."
Seeing this, Bai Wujie narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Qi meaningfully. Bai Qi also responded with a polite smile and glanced at the back of Bai Wujie's hand.
This guy is obviously a legend but he is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
The same thought flashed through the two people's minds, and then they smiled knowingly, turned their heads away and stopped talking.
"Old White, you two shouldn't be..."
Seeing the two of them in sync, Zhao Ye's eyes suddenly became strange. He glanced back and forth at the two of them and said, "Are you sure this isn't your father's illegitimate child who's wandering around?"
puff!
Zhao Ye's words almost choked Bai Qi to death, but Xiao Huang agreed and said, "Although you don't look alike, your temperaments are exactly the same. I suggest you consider taking a test later."
"No, I know very well that I am not."
Bai Qi refused immediately upon hearing this. He had no interest in getting involved in such a ridiculous thing.
"Don't pay attention to them, they are deliberately playing tricks on you."
At this moment, Lan Xiaoyu came over and refilled a glass of wine for the group. Then, she looked at Bai Wujie and said, "Bai Wujie, how is the mission?"
After hearing the mission, the smile on Bai Wujie's face gradually disappeared. He shook his head slowly and said, "Just like the intelligence we received, it was indeed done by the Hades. No human beings around survived. They are all dead."
As soon as Bai Wujie said this, both Zhao Ye and Xiao Huang's faces turned ugly.
"The Hades... this sounds like a cult organization, right?"
Bai Qi was also silent upon hearing this and immediately began to contact Shuke.
"According to the information, the Hades was a cult organization that was rampant in the late Six Kingdoms period. It advocated the power of shadows, and most of the people gathered there were undead beastmasters."
Shuke gave feedback quickly and directly transferred all the information into Bai Qi's mind.
"Undead Beast Tamer... Humans in this era are really troubled both internally and externally."
Bai Qi sighed and continued to listen to the discussion between Bai Wujie and others.
"The power of Hades has obviously spread across the six countries. If we want to get rid of it, we have to work together."
Xiao Huang took a sip of wine, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, while Zhao Ye beside him suddenly slammed the table and said, "Never mind, let's go and clean up that stronghold first. By the time they come to take care of it, everyone will be dead!"
"No, I've already dealt with it."
Bai Wujie shook his head, a barely perceptible hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"These people used their own compatriots as experiments. They are not worthy of being judged at all. The Undead Beast Tamers... Ha, they all deserve to die!"
Um, I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard. Should I go back and tell the teacher...
Bai Qi's eyes twitched and this thought flashed through his mind unconsciously, but then he put it behind his mind and re-examined Bai Wujie's strength.
It is basically a foregone conclusion that Bai Wujie is a legendary beastmaster, but the fact that he can wipe out a stronghold of the underworld on his own probably means that his strength is stronger than he thought.
"You tore it down... Damn it, why didn't you call me for this kind of thing!"
Zhao Ye was obviously unhappy, but Bai Wujie shrugged his shoulders, looked at Zhao Ye with disdain, and said, "I remember you just got promoted to the sixth level, and you don't even have a contract with your sixth pet, right? Are you sure it will be useful if you go?"
"Indeed, I don't mind participating in the underworld forces that can destroy a stronghold below level six."
Xiao Huang smoothed his hair, revealing the six clear curse patterns on the back of his left hand.
Xiao Huang, who was also at the sixth level, had already contracted his own pet, but Zhao Ye had not.
"Damn it...just wait for me!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ye sat down helplessly and simply picked up the wine barrel and drank it.
"Don't be so anxious. Since everyone is here, why don't we go help Zhao Ye capture the sixth pet?"
Seeing Zhao Ye’s depressed look, Bai Wujie immediately comforted him.
"I have done some research for you. The old emperor wolf in the Shadow Forest is very suitable for you. How about giving it a try?"
"That Black Bamboo Wolf King? Let's go, let's get going!"
Zhao Ye became alert upon hearing this, and immediately pulled Bai Wujie up to take action, but he saw Bai Qi taking out a huge wolf head with some embarrassment.
"The Black Bamboo Wolf King you are talking about...is this the guy?"
"Sorry, I think I ate your pet..."
…
Ghost Forest.
Zhao Ye looked at Bai Qi with resentment on his face, muttering something constantly.
"My Black Bamboo Wolf King...my..."
"Okay Zhao Ye, when did you become as petty as Xiao Huang?"
Bai Wujie looked at Zhao Ye speechlessly, while Xiao Huang glanced at Bai Wujie coldly and said, "Don't drag me into this if you have nothing to do. Thank you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be the pet you've been eyeing for a long time."
A hint of apology flashed in Bai Qi's eyes. He just casually ate a pet beast. It was such a coincidence.
However, the Black Bamboo Wolf King is already an adult imperial creature. Are Zhao Ye and the others planning to make a contract with it?
Aren't you afraid of rebellion?
"According to the data, humans at this time probably didn't have the ability to raise pets, so they probably just contracted adult pets directly."
Shuke, who was leading the way, responded silently to Bai Qi's doubts, and Bai Qi finally remembered.
In this age where we don't know when tomorrow or death will come, it seems that they really don't have much chance to train pets from a young age.
"It's okay. There are so many ferocious beasts in this Shadow Forest anyway. We can just find another one."
Bai Wujie patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "Besides, it seems that this Black Bamboo Wolf King is not very strong now. It's a good opportunity to replace it with a stronger one for you, Zhao Ye."
"Hmm? This is good!"
Zhao Ye immediately perked up and asked repeatedly: "Where are we going now?"
"Of course, we're going to the Black Bamboo Wolf King's lair."
"The lair of the Black Bamboo Wolf King? Is there any need to go there?"
Zhao Ye was a little confused and wanted to ask, but Bai Qi and the other two turned their heads away and were too lazy to explain.
Every emperor creature has its own territory. Now that the Black Bamboo Wolf King is dead, the surrounding emperor creatures will naturally come and occupy it.
And there must be more than one.
Simply put, the lair of the Black Bamboo Wolf King is now the most suitable place to select emperor creatures.
But it was obvious that Zhao Ye didn't quite understand this.
"Although it's a bit impolite, is President Zhao Futu really this person's descendant? Why don't they look alike?"
Bai Qi turned around and glanced at Zhao Ye, who was still confused, but he couldn't connect him with that old fox Zhao Futu.
Maybe it's a genetic mutation...
The four of them said nothing one after another and quickly went deeper into the Shadow Forest. They soon arrived at the place where Bai Qi had camped last night.
"Good fellow, Bai Qi, you are destroying the entire clan."
Bai Wujie looked at the debris on the ground and the remaining traces of the campfire, and gave Bai Qi a thumbs up.
"I didn't want to either. He was the first to do it."
Bai Qi showed a look of innocence. He was not making this up. If the Mozhu Wolf King had not come to him on his own initiative, he really wouldn't have taken action.
Well, it’s hard to say about Gamma.
"The Mozhu wolf pack is very capable in group battles. The more there are, the stronger the resonance between them. I didn't expect that you, Bai Qi, have such strength at such a young age."
Xiao Huang carefully checked the surroundings, looked up at Bai Qi, and said, "How come no one in the East Desert Country wants to recruit a beastmaster like you?"
This guy is still a little suspicious.
Bai Qi felt helpless upon seeing this and continued to bring up the setting of a powerful hidden warrior.
"Hidden legend? I see. There are indeed many such people in the East Desert Country."
Xiao Huang nodded slightly, his expression becoming a little more relaxed, and Bai Wujie also realized Xiao Huang's gaffe and immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
"I'm sorry Bai Qi, Xiao Huang is from an aristocratic family, so he is used to being cautious and has no ill will towards you."
"I see."
Bai Qi smiled. He did not care about Xiao Huang's behavior. In this era, it would be abnormal if he did not doubt a young and powerful man who suddenly appeared.
Ahhhh!
(Human, I found it!)
At this moment, Beta suddenly stopped, and Bai Wujie and others summoned their pets and quickly followed.
Under a giant tree, three emperor beasts of different sizes were looking at each other vigilantly, and next to them was a female wolf covered in wounds.
The mother wolf had basically lost her ability to move at this point, but she was still tightly protecting the cubs behind her. Judging from their appearance, they were obviously the descendants of the Black Bamboo Wolf King.
"It seems like I fell right on top of someone's doorstep. No wonder they attacked me."
