Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 644 - 639: The Return of the Death Round Table
Chapter 644: Chapter 639: The Return of the Death Round Table
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s question, the elf opened his mouth, wanting to answer.
Rumble…
At that moment, violent tremors wracked the elven ancestral land, already covered by the Jade Domain. Black tendrils sprang up from the ground, wrapping up a batch of souls, ready to pull them under.
Seeing this, Nicholas immediately exerted more power, trying to suppress the tendrils.
Unlike the death aura that shattered at the slightest touch before, these black tentacles were surprisingly tenacious, even attempting to counterattack Nicholas.
“Holy crap, is the main body of Death about to emerge?”
...
Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a jolt of shock.
The mere aura was so powerful; if the main body emerged, even Nicholas the Demi-God probably wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Let’s hope Snare notices soon and informs the Federation to come and help.”
Bai Qi prayed quietly while also asking his other pets to assist Nicholas in suppressing the tentacles.
But the power of the tendrils was too strong; apart from Nicholas, Alpha and the others couldn’t even get close to them.
Just then, the elf ghosts who had been purged of death and resumed their senses suddenly surged towards the Eternal Well. A branch then sprang from it.
The branch appeared tiny at first glance, but it grew at an astonishing rate, quickly breaking through the Eternal Well to form a massive tree. As its crown shook, it scattered a flurry of green spots that fell towards the earth.
These spots seemed light, but when they encountered the tendrils, they could not avoid them, like mice seeing a cat.
“Can these light spots suppress those tendrils?”
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Nicholas, who, on prompt, used his domain to gather all the light dots around the tentacles.
In an instant, the tentacles retreated, unconsciously burying themselves back in the rift. Nicholas pressed the attack, magnifying the force of his domain and suppressing all the tentacles once more.
With the retreat of the tentacles, the death aura was quickly purified by the green light spots, and the cracked earth began to restore gradually.
“Phew~ Thankfully these elves are reliable and did not bring out Death.”
Bai Qi quietly sighed in relief, looking at the still-growing massive tree, curiosity in his eyes.
“Beta, did you see this tree or something similar when you were soaking in the Eternal Well before?”
Woof woof.
(I didn’t feel anything, just that it was very comfortable, very relaxing.)
Beta looked confused and couldn’t elaborate, while Schuck and Jerry obviously didn’t know about the Eternal Well and remained silent.
“Never mind, this tree doesn’t seem like it will disappear anytime soon, we can ask others later.”
Bai Qi shifted his gaze, watching Nicholas slowly repair the distant cracks, and sent his pets out to help as well.
Although the tentacles and cracks were gone, the death aura emitted earlier still lingered. If it stayed, who knows what could happen.
As for how to deal with it, of course, it would be used to feed Alpha’s Sword of Death.
Soon, with the cooperation of the dragon and the six pets, the death aura in the elven ancestral land was cleaned up, and Nicholas was almost done restoring the land completely.
Almost done with his task, Nicholas divided his attention to Bai Qi, “Bai Qi, we should stay here longer after this. For safety reasons, it’s probably best if I cover this place with a Dreamland, like before.”
“Cover with Dreamland? Nicholas, can you do it?”
Bai Qi looked rather surprised. The green dragon before was most likely a Myth Dragon. Could Nicholas, a Demi-God Dragon, really do it?
“I can’t just yet, but staying near this tree seems to help me master my Demi-God powers faster. Maybe one day I’ll get it.”
Nicholas shook his head.
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. Given where it sprouted and the elves’ sacrificial behavior just now, this tree clearly held a significant relationship with the elf clan.
Considering the green dragon and the elves’ affinity with nature, it was quite normal that this tree could help Nicholas.
But that made him think. If this tree was beneficial to Nicholas, it probably also benefited the cordyceps.
Bai Qi turned to look and indeed saw the cordyceps absorbing the green light spots around them crazily, just like Nicholas.

Although the green light spots caused enormous damage to the tentacles, they were harmless to them and even provided significant nourishment. Even Gamma was greedily consuming them.
“Well, well, you’ve all latched onto a good thing.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh, but he didn’t stop them. Instead, he took out a Copy Pearl and looked at Alpha and Husky.
“Let’s strike while the iron is hot and see if we can copy Soul Awakening onto Alpha.”
Woof woof…
(Can I say no…)
Beta, reluctant, walked to Bai Qi’s side, showing a helpless look. Alpha also stepped forward, quietly waiting.
Although there was no concrete evidence, Alpha’s battle instinct told him that as long as he copied Soul Awakening, he might make significant progress.
Bai Qi was equally excited. Undead Dominator, a spell so remarkable like a king-class, he was finally becoming the man behind the Undead King… Ah shoot, that came out wrong.
With this thought, Bai Qi infused his spirit power according to the instructions, then gently placed it on Jerry’s head. An odd force surged into Jerry’s soul, searching for something.
“Indeed, it would split our memories. The decision to preserve them was a smart one.”
Jerry slightly nodded. Not only did he not resist, but he actively isolated that part of his memory.
Gradually, the Copy Pearl began to glow. It emitted flashes of luminescent light, as if it could spill out through the cracks in the pearl at any moment.
“It’s done. Give it to Alpha for use.”
Jerry took a step back, then closed his eyes to meditate.
This Copy Pearl clearly had flaws, hence it was able to clip rather than duplicate. The impact on the person being copied was also not small. Even he needed to rest for a bit.
Hearing Jerry’s words, Bai Qi slightly nodded, then turned toward Bai Qi with the Copy Pearl in hand. Alpha was equally excited, reaching out his hand to take it.
But just as Alpha was about to touch the Copy Pearl, Alpha suddenly flipped his hands, drawing his longsword to slash at Bai Qi.
“Shit, Alpha, what’s gotten into you?”
Bai Qi was stunned, but before he could figure out what was going on, Gamma had pushed him to the ground, and Alpha’s long sword followed the skin of Bai Qi’s head to slash at a black armor that suddenly appeared behind him.
A Death Knight.
“Fucking hell, why do we run into these guys everywhere!”
Bai Qi, protected by Gamma, finally noticed the anomaly behind him. He viewed the black armor that easily blocked Alpha’s attack and immediately had Gamma retreat to a safer distance.
This Death Knight had an aura similar to the one he had encountered in the Twilight Tomb. It clearly had Legend-level strength and staying here was tantamount to suicide.
“Bai Qi, is this the Death Knight you spoke of? Let this dragon have a taste!”
Nicholas quickly bulged his dragon eyes upon seeing this, and the Jade Power transformed into a dragon claw, reaching for the Death Knight, trying to grasp it.
Before the dragon claw could get very far, another black figure fell from the sky and shattered the dragon claw with a single sword strike.
Another Death Knight had arrived!
Compared to the one near Bai Qi, the Death Knight confronting Nicholas was markedly larger, and the designs on its armor were more intricate.
Of course, its aura was noticeably stronger.
“So, these guys vanish for so long and now, they’ve made an advancement?”
Watching the two extraordinarily powerful Death Knights, Bai Qi’s face became particularly unsightly.
This one dueling with Alpha clearly had Legend-level strength. The other one, evidently stronger, could have been only a step away from reaching the Demi-God level, considering it broke Nicholas’s attack with a single stroke.
Death Knights near Demi-God level, the Death Round Table folks were definitely not playing around.
Simultaneously, Nicholas also noticed the oddity of the Death Knight in front of him. He carefully moved to get closer to Bai Qi.
Although the Death Knight might not harm him, it was a bit too much for Bai Qi and the others. He had to ensure Bai Qi’s safety first.
However, the Death Knight was clearly aware of Nicholas’s plan. Its aura was firmly locked onto Nicholas, preventing Nicholas from making any significant moves.
“Demi-God Dragon? Those bitches in the intelligence department can just drop dead.”
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, the Demi-God Knight unexpectedly spoke.
“This guy can talk? Isn’t he a puppet?”
Hearing the Death Knight speak, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.
From the Death Knight that Shifu broke last time, these knights seemed more like puppet manipulated from afar, with nothing underneath their armor. And now, one of them was talking?
“Puppet? In a way, these things are indeed like puppets.”
The Demi-God Knight seemed quite interested in Bai Qi and continued, “Bai Qi, we in the Death Round Table are very interested in you. Would you like to join us?”
Hearing the Demi-God Knight’s invitation, Bai Qi was taken aback. After a moment of silence, he inexplicably retorted.
“Are you out of your mind? Have you had an overdose of the Power of Death?”
As soon as Bai Qi said this, the Demi-God Knight’s aura abruptly changed, like a giant beast pouncing at Bai Qi.
But Nicholas seized the opportunity at that moment. He came to Bai Qi’s side, kicked away the Death Knight dueling with Alpha, and blocked the Demi-God Knight’s aura.
With his aura blocked, the Demi-God Knight calmed down, staring at Bai Qi hiding behind Nicholas, and said.
“You dare to insult my lord so.”
The Demi-God Knight shook his head, placing his long sword upright in front of him.
“I, rank eleven of the Death Round Table, formally invite you to a duel!”
