As soon as Bai Qi’s mechanical double-headed wolf appeared, it caught the attention of Lu Qing.

She moved closer to the Husky and, with a single glance, distinguished it from the rest, remarking, “The fusion of mechanical and flesh life? How did you achieve it?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Qi replied, “I’m honestly not sure.”

He wasn’t dodging the question. Because of his immersion in rune studies recently, he hadn’t really been researching the fusion of machinery and flesh. The entire project had been handed over to Schuck.

As for Husky, which theoretically should have been the Federation’s first case of machinery and flesh fusion, it was entirely due to Evolution Egg. If asked to explain, he couldn’t do it.

He certainly couldn’t tell Lu Qing that it hatched from an egg, could he?

After being rebuffed twice by Bai Qi, a slight frown formed on Lu Qing1 s face.

After all, it was his own research, and it was appropriate not to disclose it to her.

But if he didn’t want to say it, he should have just said so. Pretending to be ignorant was a bit too clumsy.

“Hmph!”

With that thought, Lu Qjng coldly snorted, summoning her own pet beast and starting to search for the target of their mission.

[Name]: One-eyed Night Hawk

[Nature]: Flying System

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

“What have I done to upset her now… ”

Seeing Lu Qing’s attitude, Bai Qi looked bewildered, while Beta on the side had a look of contempt on his face.

Owoof! Owoof!

(Human, are you planning to spend the rest of your life with me…)

As soon as he heard this, Bai Qi gave Beta a heavy blow, saying, “Enough talk, find me a Wood Armor Wild Boar now.”

No sooner had he spoken than Schuck timely provided the data about the Wood Armor Wild Boar.

“Wood Armor Wild Boar, covered entirely by highly poisonous wood armor, usually disguised as tree stumps, and using fruit scent from their bodies to attract prey. Moreover, they live in groups, so we just need to find the place with the strongest fruit scent.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at the words. They say that the second personality of a schizophrenic is completely opposite to the original one. That was indeed the case.

Owoof?

(Human, why did I just feel like I was being looked down upon by you?)

Beta looked at Bai Qi suspiciously, but seeing Bai Qi’s threatening look, Beta obediently began to search.

Being in a better position than the over-obsessed pet, Beta had no choice but to submit to Bai Qi, in order to get rid of the clingy slime monster.

Unlike their previous practical experience sessions by Taize Lake and at Danggu Mountain, the moment Bai Qi stepped into the rainforest, a faint sense of danger arose from the bottom of his heart. The normally chatty Beta also quieted down.

This place was very dangerous…

“Forget it, better summon Alpha too.”

Looking at the dark areas between the trees, Bai Qi quietly summoned Alpha as well, and after a moment’s thought, he also summoned the slime monster and held it in his arms.

Judging by the first task, unless you were fatally wounded or chose to give up, Leng Feifei wouldn’t interfere.

Although he had Beta’s sensory ability and Alpha’s protection, theoretically Bai Qi should not have been ambushed. However, having the slime monster with him might have worked wonders at a critical moment.

Woof woof!

(Human, I think I’ve found it!)

Beta’s sensory abilities were far beyond the ordinary. Even in this fog-filled rainforest, they were not affected much, and he quickly arrived at a thicket.

“So which of these are the Wood Armor Wild Boars, then?”

Bai Qi stared at it for a while but couldn’t spot the difference between the shrubs. He wanted to ask Beta for confirmation, but found that Beta had backed off at some point, covering his nose with a disgusted look on his face.

Woof woof! Woof woof!

(Where’s the promised fruit scent? I’m nearly suffocated by the smell.)

Does it stink?

Bai Qi sniffed and detected a complex fruity scent that didn’t smell bad to him. “Beta has a stronger sense of smell; he must have picked up a different scent.” Schuck glanced at the thicket in front of him, directly activated the thermal imaging system and carefully scanned the whole thicket, immediately finding the presence of the Wood Armor Wild Boar.

“Human, I suggest you find a safe place to stay; there might be trouble.”

As he looked at the thermal image Schuck had cast, Bai Qi was momentarily stunned.

No wonder he couldn’t distinguish between the shrubs and the Wood Armor Wild Boar. Turns out the entire thicket was camouflage by the Wild Boars!

Bai Qi quickly estimated that there had to be at least a hundred Wood Armor Wild Boars in this thicket.

“Alpha, quickly knock one unconscious and take it away without alarming the whole herd.”

Though Wood Armor Wild Boars were Low-level Elites, with an average Level around the First Stage. However, when they reach a certain number, they can still put up quite a fight.

But it seemed that these wild boars were sleeping, otherwise they would have already detected Bai Qi.

Crack crack.

(Boss, rest assured, leave it to me.)

Alpha waved at Bai Qi, his arm immediately morphing into a massive crystal club. He sneaked up to a Wood Armor Wild Boar and whacked it hard on the head.

Grunts!

With Alpha’s hefty blow, the Wild Boar only managed a couple of grunts before it fell unconscious. The other Wild Boars nearby stirred slightly at the noise but soon went back to sleep.

Being on the outskirts of the rainforest, it was rare for anyone to provoke their group.

Except for a certain she-devil.

“Nicely done.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, intending to leave with the Wood Armor Wild Boar, when a sudden shout came from the nearby trees.

“I’ve found it! It’s exactly like the one recorded in the book, the Wood Armor Wild Boar is right here!”

The owner of the voice was clearly thrilled, not bothering to keep his voice down, and the wild boar herd, which was already showing signs of waking up, instantly came to life.

Snort! Snort!

Accompanied by snorts, the bushes rustled, and one by one, the Wood Armor Wild Boars emerged from hiding, revealing their sturdy bodies and began surveying their surroundings.

Where the hell did this fool come from?

Watching the wild boar herd being awakened, Bai Qi wished to strangle this fool to death.

Although they hadn’t awakened the herd, Alpha, who was currently carrying a drowsy wild boar, was undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing.

Snort! Roar!

Seeing their companion being attacked, the eyes of the Wood Armor Wild Boars instantly turned red and, roaring, charged towards Alpha. The rest of the wild boars followed suit.

“What a hassle!”

Bai Qi, had no time to scold the fool who had awoken the wild boar herd. He signaled to Alpha, who immediately understood and released the might of the dragon.

The vast dragon might was released, causing the Wood Armor Wild Boars to abandon their fury and replace it with endless fear.

Dragons, regardless of where they were, stood at the top of the food chain. How could they not be afraid?

However, it seemed that Alpha’s dragon might was a bit excessive. After a moment of fear, the Wood Armor Wild Boars rolled their eyes and instantly fainted.

“They faint so easily? I wouldn’t have been so cautious if I had known.”

Seeing that the herd of Wood Armor Wild Boars was scared into fainting by Alpha’s dragon might, Bai Qi was speechless.

But so be it.

Bai Qi instructed Alpha to switch to a fatty-looking Wood Armor Wild Boar and, humming a little tune, headed back the way he came.

“What the hell happened?”

After Bai Qi left, the instigator who had awoken the wild boar herd finally arrived. He looked at the fainted wild boars littering the ground and burst into laughter.

“They’re all fainted! God is really helping me out! I’m indeed born to be legendary!”

A certain fool laughed uproariously as he began selecting the best-looking Wood Armor Wild Boars. However, he didn’t get far before he suddenly fainted.

Survival tip: Wood Armor Wild Boars release toxins from their body after they’re scared into fainting. You must remove the wood armor before consuming it.

At the edge of the cliff.

Alpha returned to the barbecue with the Wood Armor Wild Boar, but Zhou Yan had arrived first. Seeing Bai Qi, she provocatively lifted her brow.

This girl is so competitive, even when eating…

Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan speechlessly, found a random grill, and gestured for Alpha to drop the wild boar.

“Schuck, do you have a recipe for the Wood Armor Wild Boar?”

Schuck nodded and promptly handed over the information.

“Wood Armor Wild Boar. Due to its wood attribute, the meat is tender and fragrant, requires minimal cooking, just remove the wood armour and roast.” That simple?

Bai Qi instinctively glanced at Zhou Yan, who was carefully handling the Wood Armor Wild Boar, then looked at the nonchalant Leng Feifei.

Something’s wrong!

Indeed, after a brief pause, Schuck continued his explanation:

“However, the Wood Armor Wild Boars’ wood armor contains substantial toxins. If you’re not careful when removing the armor, the toxins can easily seep into the meat. If you accidentally eat it, you will be poisoned.”

I knew it, there’s no way we just catch a wild boar and roast it to finish the task. Bai Qi glanced at Alpha, who instantly understood. Hisarms turned into two crystal bone blades, quickly cutting into the Wood Armor Wild Boar. He neatly removed the wooden armor in no time.

On the other hand, Zhou Yan, who was still doing the work herself, had only managed to remove half of it.

“Holy hell, can you be any faster!”

Seeing the situation, Zhou Yan immediately became anxious. A Soul of the

General emerged from her Array and attached itself to her directly, immediately speeding up her actions.

Soul attachment.

Seeing Zhou Yan’s actions, Bai Qi couldn’t help feeling envious.

Either it’s fusion or attachment. Can’t any of you just properly be a Beast Master who strategizes from the back?

What a mess!

Bai Qi looked down on Zhou Yan and others in his heart, completely forgetting his dream of hand – tearing ferocious beasts.

“Let’s eat.”

Bai Qi shifted his attention, watching Alpha cut the Wood Armor Wild Boar into several pieces. He instructed Beta to light the firewood, leisurely starting the barbecue.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the entire area, causing the surrounding Beast Masters who had just caught their Wood Armor Wild Boars to swallow their saliva and speed up their pace.

Glop, glop.

The sleeping slime was also awakened by the aroma. Its large watery eyes looked around and quickly locked onto its target, leaping right onto it.

But it wasn’t the meat. Rather, it was the pile of Highly Poisonous Wood Armor that Alpha had carved off.

Pork is not as delightful as toxins!
