After confirming that the Crystal Alligator was truly dead, Bai Qi ran out from behind the stone, walked over to Alpha and removed a pair of mechanical gloves from its hands.

As an undead creature, Alpha naturally didn’t possess thunder properties. The electric current just now was emitted from these specially made gloves, flowing into the Crystal Alligator’s brain through the hardened Bone Daggers.

Unfortunately, Bai Qi had not yet mastered small energy storage technology, so attacks like the one just now could only be launched once before the battery needed to be replaced.

Bai Qi swiftly replaced the battery in the gloves, then walked over to the Crystal Alligator, placing his hand on its head.

He had previously only touched living pet beasts and wasn’t sure if the strategy would work with deceased ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the moment Bai Qi touched the Crystal Alligator, several cracks appeared on the black shell of the Evolution Egg.

[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron Egg 28%)

[Condition]: Activated

“Uncontacted low-level elites can provide 3% progress, mid-level elites provide 5%, and the progress from high-grade elites is uncertain, but it must be higher.”

Bai Qi thought back to the pets of Gao Cheng and others he had come into contact with before, and roughly sorted out a simple pattern.

“Under normal circumstances, it should be like this. If it’s a mutant species, it should be even higher.”

Considering that the low-level elite Husky had brought him 10% progress after mutating, if the species were of a higher level, the provided progress might be even higher.

!!..

“Let’s go, onto the next target!”

Bai Qi had Alpha cut off the Crystal cluster from the back of the Crystal Alligator and toss it into the backpack on Husky’s back, before they continued on to the next target.

Considering that some ferocious beasts were too large to carry, the Scoring Guidebook listed the most valuable parts of these beasts. One could accumulate points simply by carrying these parts to the end point.

Now, Bai Qi’s target was one of the beasts with the highest scores, the Ice Ghost.

He only had three days of activity around Taize Lake, and Bai Qi didn’t want to miss this opportunity to interact with so many different types of ferocious beasts. However, if he failed the trial exam because he was hunting beasts, the loss would outweigh the gains.

So, Bai Qi planned to first ensure that he would pass the trial exam, then take his time hunting beasts.

Due to its own attributes, the Ice Ghost preferred to be active within the ice layer — therefore, the three-quarter-of-the-year frozen shores of Taize Lake was the perfect choice.

The area where the Ice Ghost was active was not far from where the Crystal Alligator resided. After casually dealing with a few small ferocious beasts, the two arrived at the Ice Ghost’s location.

However, it seemed like they were a step too late.

Furthermore, Bai Qi recognized this person.

It was Lu Yuan, who had trained with him before.

“Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, use Ripping Claw!”

Both being senior elites and at level 10, Lu Yuan’s Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was in no way inferior to the Ice Ghost. Its sharp bone claws were wrapped with the sound of wind thunder and ferociously lashed onto the icy blue spherical creature with two sharp horns in front.

But the Ice Ghost was clearly faster than the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger. It quickly floated up with its round body to avoid the Ripping Claw attack. With a swing, sharp ice cones shot out from the two horns on its head, whizzing towards the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.

Freezing Fang.

It could condense countless ice cones to attack the enemy, causing the struck target to become immobile, as if bitten by sharp fangs.

Facing the attack from the air, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger showed no panic and easily dodged it. However, before it could counter-attack, a snow storm appeared between the Ice Ghost’s horns, rapidly covering the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.

“Damn it, it used AOE so early.”

Seeing that the Ice Ghost used a group attack skill so early even when facing a single opponent, Lu Yuan was clearly surprised. Looking at the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger about to be frozen by the snowstorm, he immediately roared out.

“Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, use Intimidation!”

Intimidation was a king’s skill that only the commander-level pet beasts could comprehend. It could oppress enemies of a lower race level in terms of aura.

His Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was merely a high-grade elite, but because it was originally a tiger, it inherited this skill.

Indeed, after the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger used intimidation, the Ice Ghost’s body suddenly shuddered, and the skill it was preparing to evoke was forcefully interrupted.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan was about to retaliate, but unaware of the Ice Ghost sneaking out from the layers of ice, launched an attack on both him and his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.

“Damn it, another Ice Ghost has returned.”

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan cursed under his breath and quickly commanded the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to retreat to defense. Suddenly, he saw a small, thin figure flash past him, attacking the Ice Ghost that had just appeared in the air.

This fellow, looks so familiar?

Seeing the Little Skeleton appear above the Ice Ghost’s head, Lu Yuan couldn’t help feeling a sense of familiarity. After seeing the man and dog that followed, he instantly recognized them.

It was the student specializing in mechanical battle arts who had previously modified his own skeleton. Why was he there as well?

“Be careful, your skeleton soldier can’t break through the Ice Ghost’s defense”

After all, the Ice Ghost was a high-grade elite. The skeleton soldier didn’t stand a chance against it.

As soon as Lu Yuan’s voice fell, Alpha’s dagger pierced the Ice Ghost’s body and a strong current surged, paralyzing the Ice Ghost on the spot.

Then, Alpha’s body suddenly deformed, enveloped the Ice Ghost, and its skeletal structure, like countless sharp blades, shredded the Ice Ghost into fragments, leaving only two sharp horns falling down.

“Tsk… that was too harsh, how am I supposed to skin him all mashed up like that?”

Bai Qi looked exasperatedly at the ice shards on the ground, picked up the two intact horns, and sighed with some regret as he surveyed the unmoving Evolution Egg.

“Crack, crack.”

(“Master, I was wrong.”)

Looking at Alpha, who appeared like a child who had done something wrong, Bai Qi gestured dismissively. Glancing at Lu Yuan, he asked, “Are you dealing with this or should I?”

Lu Yuan was still immersed in the formidable attack power demonstrated by Alpha. It was only when Bai Qi shouted that he snapped back to reality. Without replying, he issued a series of commands to the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to finally take down the Ice Ghost.

After eliminating the Ice Ghost, Lu Yuan hesitated, but his curiosity got the better of him. He pointed at Alpha obediently standing behind Bai Qi and asked, “Your skeleton soldier…”

“Alpha Race evolved, so it looks a bit different.”

Bai Qi explained casually, asking, “Are you also aiming to go to the Secret Realm Tower?”

No shit! Who would participate in this event if it wasn’t for the Secret Realm Tower? And that’s not what I was asking about!

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance, too lazy to engage in a pointless conversation with Bai Qi. He mounted the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger and quickly moved on.

His goal was to secure the first place in the trial examination, and thus be the first to enter the Secret Realm Tower to claim the first-arrival reward. Naturally, he couldn’t waste too much time here.

“Having a mountable pet sure is convenient. Regrettably, I was originally planning to skin his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.”

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was quickly disappearing into the distance, a hint of envy flashed in Bai Qi’s eyes as he looked at the Little Skeleton at his side, determined.

Speaking of which, the Arctic Ice Wolf wasn’t small in size when fully grown. It should be rideable.

Thinking about this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that Husky had run off. Scanning the surroundings, he finally discovered the silly creature digging at the spot where the Ice Ghost had previously emerged.

“Hey, hey, hey, you’re not planning on digging a hole for yourself right here, are you?”

Although Husky had lost its ice-based skills, it still preferred a cold environment. However, it wasn’t suitable now.

But then, when Bai Qi saw the black door Husky had dug out, he stood there astounded.

This door, doesn’t it look like the door of the Secret Realm Tower in Undead Hill?
