Chapter 366: Chapter 362: Dark Armor Knight

With the appearance of Evolution Light, the surrounding Shadow Department Power also converged on the Six Sword Servants, gradually swirling around them into a shadow whirlwind that thoroughly obscured their figures.

“Alpha, how are the Six Sword Servants faring now? Are they evolving smoothly?”

Straight across Alpha, Bai Qi’s connection with the Six Sword Servants wasn’t very strong, and he couldn’t clearly feel their changes but considering the intensity, failure didn’t seem likely.

Gala, Gala.

(In evolution, but…)

Alpha’s words were cut off as the Evolution Light disappeared, and the shadowy cyclone gradually dispersed, revealing the figures of the Six Sword Servants.

No, they should have already evolved beyond mere Servants.

At this moment, all Six Sword Servants had mounted horses, but apart from the Dark Armor Knight, the other five Servants’ horses were merely ordinary skeletons. However, the Dark Armor Knight’s warhorse was clothed in a set of heavy black armor, with a Giant Chain Sword hanging behind it. Even just looking at it from afar, it invoked a powerful feeling of oppression.

“What has happened? Why is there variation in their evolution?”

Bai Qi looked surprised, as Alpha finished speaking.

Gala, Gala.

(Boss, only the Dark Armor Knight has evolved, the other Servants seem to be stuck on the edge of evolution.)

“Stuck? Is there a bottleneck in beast evolution?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was shocked and walked over to the Dark Armor Knight, carefully sensing it.

[Name]: ???

[Nature]: Shadow

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

[Introduction]: The knight who runs across the land of shadow, its giant chain sword can not only attack head-on, but it can also launch attacks at the enemy from unpredictable angles.

…

“As expected, it has leveled up to the Lord tier.”

Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily, then turned to the other Servants. Their form had only changed; there were no changes in bloodline level or race name.

“Is it because there is no corresponding attribute here, so they can’t break through?”

At first, Bai Qi was regretful. If they could break through at once, it would be equivalent to gaining six more Lord Creatures.

As Alpha’s contractual retainers, the Six Sword Servants definitely had stronger combat power than the parasitic creatures controlled by the Insect Grass.

“Well, at least I now have a general direction.”

Bai Qi sighed, looking at the significantly altered Dark Armor Knight. After thinking a bit, he said, “Now that you’ve leveled up to be a knight, let’s call you the Dark Armor Knight.”

Clipclop, clipclop…

Hearing Bai Qi give it a new name, the Dark Armor Knight seemed very happy. It lowered its head respectfully toward Bai Qi, with its Shadow Warhorse excitedly pawing its hooves on the spot, showing its joy.

“Alright, the Nightmare Knight has been dealt with too. Everyone, recover your strength quickly in case other enemies appear.”

Although the previous battle seemed to have been quite relaxing, the five pets had expended a lot of energy. If they encountered any strong enemies again, it would be troublesome.

After all, now there are already thirteen low-level King-level Nightmare Knights, whatever appears behind…

Cough cough, better not to think about it. Recently it seems like I’ve activated some passive ‘dreams come true’ mode, and whether it’s good or bad it’s very effective. I mustn’t hinder myself.

Bai Qi cut off his own thoughts, looking at the few pets who were clearly a bit exhausted. Following some thought, he put Gamma, Delta and Insect Grass all into an egg.

The Shadow Department Power here was thick, so the recovery speed of Alpha, Jerry and the Six Swords were much faster than usual. Since it wasn’t a level-crossing consumption, normal recovery was better. They could be the saviors in case of any accidents.

“Alpha, you keep a look-out for a while, I’ll rest.”

After putting many Evolution Eggs one after another, Bai Qi obviously felt a bit tired. He immediately sat down cross-legged, beginning to meditate and recover.

The gap from the fifth stage to the sixth stage was definitely not small, so Bai Qi took every opportunity he got to speed up his own advancement, hoping to step into the sixth stage earlier.

At that time, he would be qualified to run around everywhere.

…

Undead Hill.

Bai Heguang, riding on Jiuyou Darkbird, gently descended from the sky, looking at the Twilight Tomb in front of him, his expression was solemn.

“How long has Bai Qi been inside?”

“A little over a day.”

President Qin also frowned and said, “Professor Dong has been hastening the deciphering of the entrance runes, but it will still take at least two days at the fastest.”

“Hm.”

Bai Heguang nodded and kept his silence, while President Qin couldn’t help asking, “Heguang, can we forcefully decipher it?”

“If it was another secret area, we could. But the Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb is different. If we break through by force, Bai Qi will fall into crisis instead.”

Bai Heguang said, “This tomb is probably older than Gemini Tower, yet it’s still very well preserved, indicating that it must have been repaired later on. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the handiwork from the Era of Law Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, President Qin understood, “So, you’re suggesting that the Law Emperor might have already explored it and there might be protective mechanisms left behind by him inside?”

“That’s highly probable.”

“That’s good.”

After hearing Bai Heguang’s words, President Qin finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry too much. That kid’s main pet possesses the power of shadow, unless it encounters Emperor Creatures, no other being can threaten him.”

Jiuyou Darkbird suddenly spoke, “Furthermore, each of his pets is stranger than the last. Don’t treat him like a child. You should be rejoicing he hasn’t torn this place apart.”

“This… makes some sense.”

Listening to Jiuyou Darkbird, the pressure in President Qin’s heart relaxed a lot.

Thinking about it, Bai Qi truly took whatever he could get his hands on, no matter where he went. Luo Xiang had the same knack in his day, but he only pillaged secret realms. Bai Qi, on the other hand, seemed ready to disassemble his own association.

At this thought, President Qin was greatly relieved and instead began to worry about the creatures inside the Twilight Tomb.

He wondered what benefits any beast masters who entered after Bai Qi had finished exploring would obtain.

Rumble…

Just then, the Twilight Tomb began to shake violently, and the previously quiet entrance suddenly lit up.

“This guy, could he really be dismantling the secret realm…?”

Upon seeing this, President Qin was taken aback, while Bai Heguang immediately seized the opportunity. He rode his Jiuyou Darkbird and entered the gate.

The change in the tomb happened quickly and ended just as fast. The moment Bai Heguang entered, the gate became quiet again.

“What happened? Why did the entrance open and close again?”

President Qin ran to the entrance and asked Professor Dong what was happening.

“I’m not sure. It seems like something else activated the tomb’s entrance.”

Professor Dong frowned deeply. Although decrypting secret realms was not her main expertise, with her understanding of runes, she was aware of the abnormality.

It seemed that another entrance to the tomb had been opened.

…

Twilight Tomb.

Third Level.

After taking a break, Bai Qi and his five pets continued their journey. Along the way, they encountered only a few skeletons popping up from the ground and some unknown spirits. There were no more powerful enemies.

“Could it be they’re hiding because they saw the Nightmare Knight get defeated?”

Bai Qi was somewhat exasperated. The Twilight Tomb was not a realm built by a human Legendary Beast Master for inheritance or trials, with guardians to guide you.

Considering the size of the third floor, if he continued to wander aimlessly like a headless fly, there was no telling how long it would take to find the real guardian.

Awooo, Awoo…

(“They must be hiding because they detected my powerful aura!”)

Beta lifted his head proudly. His arrogance made Schuck and Jerry speechless.

Sometimes, it was hard for them to acknowledge him as their primary consciousness.

“Can’t you have a little bit of shame?”

Bai Qi gave Beta a hard punch and surveyed their surroundings.

Bones, and more bones.

“Wandering aimlessly like this won’t do. Schuck, what’s the situation with the scout bees?”

Schuck shook his head, “The concentration of Shadow Department Power here is too high. If the scout bees fly too far, we won’t be able to receive their signals, and if they fly too close, they’re redundant.”

“It’s troublesome. Wish we could launch a satellite.”

Bai Qi scratched his head. The satellite’s ability to ignore energy interference was not low. Even the Snare that covered the Federation’s sky was noteworthy.

Through his recent learning with Professor Chu, Bai learned about the Snare’s skill to detect wide areas which had left him really envious.

[Skill Name]: Eye of Omniscience

[Skill Level]: Legendary Level

[Skill Introduction]: A skill that can be mastered only by a legendary mechanical system, capable of detecting all forms of matter and creatures within the coverage area.

…

This skill required a Legendary Level, so Bai Qi, although smitten, could only gaze and desired.

“Boss, why don’t I send my Parasitic Beasts? I should be able to control them from a greater distance.”

Seeing Bai Qi with no other solutions, Wormgrass volunteered, making a suggestion.

Anyway, these Parasitic Beasts were provided by Bai Qi. Even if they died or were damaged, Bai Qi would definitely replenish them.

Maybe, Bai Qi might even provide better hosts for Parasitism.

“At this point, it seems it is the only way.”

Bai Qi sighed, about to let Wormgrass release his Parasitic Beast. However, Alpha, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He squatted down and silently sensed the surroundings.

Creak, creak….

(“Boss, it seems like there was a battle here.”)

“A battle? Are you sure it’s not a conflict between the undead?”

Bai Qi asked stunned upon hearing this.

Creak, creak…

(“Although it’s faint, it’s definitely a human’s scent.”)

Hearing this, Bai Qi immediately turned to Beta, who, however, guiltily turned his head away, cursing silently in his mind.

The Shadow Department Power in this damned place was too intense and he hadn’t sensed any danger. Who would be as cautious as that damned skeleton?

Awooo?

Just then, there was a flash of golden light in Beta’s third eye, indicating that he had sensed something.

Awooo, Awooo!

(“Humans, there is a dangerous aura ahead! And, we’ve encountered it before!”)
