Chapter 3 - 3 2: Hatching Eggs Works as Well
A connection? Are you kidding me
Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes, completely clueless about how to respond.
Ill pay you back for Little Skeleton later, Im going back home.
At this moment, Bai Qi was excited, he quickly made up an excuse and took big strides towards the outside of the Elf House. Only then did Zhuge Chen snap out of it, shaking his mechanical prosthetic in his hand, saying, The mechanical prosthetic is not installed
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Qi had already disappeared at the doorway. Zhuge Chen could only sigh helplessly and quietly put away the prosthetic.
Soon, Bai Qi returned to his home.
A three-story villa with a courtyard.
Bai Qis parents were researchers for a certain consortium, so his living conditions were decent.
However, his parents were often not at home. Apart from the short conversations when they sent him living expenses every month, Bai Qi was not much different from an orphan.
But Bai Qi didnt mind, he enjoyed the peace.
After returning home, Bai Qi began to examine the Rune Mark on the back of his left hand.
After awakening their talent, Beast Masters would form a Rune Mark on the back of their hand, which would also transform the Beast Masters Soul Space into a suitable Beast Control Space for beasts to live in.
Moreover, this Rune Mark would gradually enhance the Beast Masters spirit and physique.
But right now, these were all secondary.
Bai Qi, controlling his Spirit Power and connecting it to the Rune Mark, a Transparent formation appeared before him. Accompanied by ripples, a pure white Little Skeleton climbed out from inside.
According to the Level of the Beast Masters, the complexity and color of the summoning formation would also be different.
Simply put, the higher the level, the more complex the formation, and the darker the color will be.
For a beginner Beast Master at the First Stage like Bai Qi, the summoning formation was simply a nearly Transparent circular formation.
The summoned Little Skeleton was obviously a bit confused. A Flames of Soul flickered continuously in its hollow eye sockets, seeming somewhat unaware of its situation.
According to the data published by the Federation, Beast Controls Bloodline Level is divided into five classes, namely Servant, Elite, Lord, King, and Emperor.
As a Servant with the lowest rank in the Undead Department, Little Skeletons intelligence was indeed worrisome.
The only hope now was that the Evolution Egg lived up to its name.
Bai Qi immersed his consciousness into the Evolution Egg. A stream of information flooded into his mind, allowing Bai Qi to roughly understand the functions of the Evolution Egg.
Just like its name, the Evolution Egg could freely enhance the Bloodline Level of the Beast Control, strengthen the natural Talent of Beast Control itself.
If it is said that the growth level of Beast Control determines the current strength of Beast Control, then the Bloodline Level determines the upper limit of Beast Control.
In other words, as long as there is an Evolution Egg, it was not impossible for a caterpillar to evolve into a Sky-Rending Seat.
With the low racial value of the skeleton soldiers and the Evolution Egg that can enhance the Bloodline Level.
This specialty, was a perfect match!
But how should this be used?
With an experimental mindset, Bai Qi laid his hand on Little Skeletons head and extended his Spirit Power towards the Evolution Egg.
The moment Bai Qis Spirit Power touched the Evolution Egg, a black light extended from his palm, quickly enveloping the Little Skeleton within it. Bai Qi felt a sudden weakness in his body and some trance in his mind.
But this feeling only lasted for a short while, and Bai Qi returned to normal. Looking at the dark eggshell in front of him, his expression became even weirder.
[Name]: Black Iron Egg
[Condition]: Evolving
So its really hatching eggs. Can a creature like a Skeleton even hatch?
Its neither oviparity nor viviparity, how can a skeleton relate to these?
After circling around the Black Iron Egg for quite a bit, Bai Qi eventually gave up the idea of accelerating the hatching process by heating it and stood quietly waiting on the side.
Crack.
After waiting for about half an hour, the Black Iron Egg finally cracked open. The shattered shell scattered all over the ground, and the figure of Little Skeleton was also revealed.
It still looked thin, apart from the slightly brighter flame in its eye sockets, there didnt seem to be any significant changes.
Thats it?
With a doubtful mind, Bai Qi once again put his hand on Little Skeletons head, his eyes shining.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier
[Race]: Undead Department (Mutated)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage, Level One
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Servant
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Beginner), Skeletal Hardening (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
The bloodline level had changed from a low-level servant to a mid-level servant, and there was an additional racial skill.
Such significant changes made Bai Qi wonder whether the effects of the Golden Finger were too strong or whether the base of Little Skeleton was just too weak.
Lets try it one more time.
Thinking about it, Bai Qi once again used the Evolution Egg, silently waiting with anticipation for Little Skeleton to hatch again.
At last, the moment Little Skeleton appeared, Bai Qi immediately started to investigate.
As he expected, Little Skeletons data had not changed. It was still a mid-level servant, and no new skills were added.
It must be because the foundation was too weak
Bai Qi quietly dismissed the idea of directly evolving the Skeleton into a divine beast. Looking at the lively Little Skeleton in front of him, he suddenly thought of something.
He was so engrossed in researching the Golden Finger, he almost forgot to name the little guy.
Although some Beast Masters simply used the creatures species to name their controlled beasts, the name Skeleton Soldier really was a bit too lame.
I choose you, Skeleton Soldier!
Thinking about the image he would project during battles in the future, Bai Qi got goosebumps.
Im going to name you Alpha.
Clatter clatter.
Little Skeleton seemed very satisfied with its new name. With a click of its jaw, it released a wave of affection towards Bai Qi through their shared pact.
Bai Qi, seeing this, was quite satisfied. He said, Alpha, try out your skills.
Little Skeleton nodded, a flash of soul fire emanated in its eyes and a metallic luster emerged from its bones. The originally fragile bones that seemed to break at a single blow suddenly became much harder. However, it seemed they couldnt cover the whole body; only a small part had changed.
After all, these were newly acquired skills, and the proficiency was not yet enough.
Bai Qi stroked his chin, pointing at a big tree in the yard, and said, Alpha, use Skeletal Hardening and attack that tree.
As soon as the words fell, Little Skeleton sprang from its spot and reached the tree at a speed that surprised Bai Qi. It swung a punch.
Bang.
The tree trembled, and a shallow fist mark appeared on it.
Alpha picked up its fallen right arm with a clueless face, looked at the sturdy tree in front of it and then at its own weak bones. The soul flame in its eyes dimmed a bit.
Just like in the Elf House, Little Skeletons speed did indeed far exceed its peers. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been able to dodge so many people. The evolution had made it even faster.
Its power, however, was still a bit weak; its output was clearly not enough.
And it seemed that Little Skeleton itself couldnt handle the speed; the joints were too fragile.
It needs to evolve a few more times.
Clatter clatter
Little Skeleton also felt what Bai Qi was thinking. It lifted its spirit again, staring at Bai Qis right hand with an extremely expectant process.
Evolve, I want to evolve!
Bai Qi once again used the Golden Finger to envelop Little Skeleton. After a brief dizziness, he began to think about other possibilities.
Alphas base was simply too low. It would not be combat-ready in a short time. He needed to enhance its combat power from other aspects first.
Bai Qi clapped his hands, immediately made up his mind, and then plunged into the villa.
