Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Wang Huai and others were stunned and looked behind them.
I saw a giant eagle appearing in the originally empty sky. Standing on top of the giant eagle was Luo Xiang, who was acting alone.
Luo Xiang chuckled and fell to the ground, saying, "Boy, when did you find me?"
Bai Qi shrugged and said: "Actually, I also made a guess. After all, the gap between the gatekeepers of this third level and the previous two levels is too big."
"If you have to give me a reason."
Bai Qi paused, pointed at the runes on the walls around the training ground that had dimmed for some time, and said: "We haven't cleared the level yet, and there is no movement in this training ground. Isn't it too casual?"
Luo Xiang smiled when he heard this and said: "That's right, but I didn't release this saber-toothed tiger. It just escaped because I stopped the autonomous mechanism of the training ground."
"Stopped at the training ground?"
Wang Huai was stunned when he heard this and said: "Master Luo, have you already cracked this secret realm?"
"Cracking the secret realm doesn't count, it just cracks the entrance to the next area."
Luo Xiang shook his head and said: "The guardian of this secret realm seems to be gone, so the control of these training grounds is at the entrance, so I turned it off directly. It is an accident that this saber-toothed tiger appears."
"These?"
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he had some realization in his heart.
He said that for such a big secret realm, this military training ground was a bit too shabby. But now that he heard it, it turned out that there were more than one.
"Actually, you are relatively lucky. The slave contract of this saber-toothed tiger is still there, and its condition is not very good. You are not so lucky in several other places."
After hearing Luo Xiang's words, Wang Huai's expression changed slightly.
As the captain of the special attack team, he naturally knows the other arrangements for the thirteenth round. Now according to Luo Xiang, those people may have encountered something unexpected.
Luo Xiang smiled when he saw this and said: "Don't worry, I activated the protection mechanism, so none of them were fatally injured, but those mechanical beasts were enough."
"Thanks."
Wang Huai heard this and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Luo Xiang. They were all his comrades in the 13th game. It was great that his comrades could save their lives.
After understanding their current situation, Bai Qi finally couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I say before that you have to clear the training ground before you can open the entrance? Instructor Luo, is this a forcible crack?"
Luo Xiang nodded and said: "The sky-breaking talent is not just about ignoring the defense of the secret realm tower. As long as you have enough rune foundation, this is just a basic operation, and you can do it in the future."
Do you want the void-breaking talent?
Well, you definitely can’t learn it.
"However, although this ancient saber-toothed tiger is suppressed by the slave contract, it is not weak at all. I am surprised that you can defeat it."
Luo Xiang looked at the saber-toothed tiger who was still staring at death, especially when he saw Alpha and Gamma emerging from the saber-toothed tiger's ears, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a bit aggrieved that you could come up with such a tactic, and that a majestic ancient king should die in such a way."
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment. Didn't he learn this from a certain monkey in his previous life? It's just that it went into other people's stomachs, while alpha and gamma went into the brain.
Well, pretty much the same.
"This saber-toothed tiger was found in your Thirteenth Bureau area, and it should belong to you. However, Bai Qi also contributed a lot, so these teeth belong to Bai Qi, and the rest is left to you."
Luo Xiang patted the giant eagle beside him. The giant eagle immediately understood and easily pulled out the two fangs from the saber-toothed tiger's mouth and threw them in front of Bai Qi.
"No problem. In fact, Bai Qi basically took care of this saber-toothed tiger. It's okay to leave it all to Bai Qi."
Wang Huai nodded and expressed his thoughts.
"Forget it, there's nothing good left. Let's see if your R&D department can come up with anything."
Luo Xiang spoke his true thoughts without politeness, while Bai Qi immediately put away his fangs.
Brother, can you keep a low profile next time when you want to enrich your own pockets? Although everyone knows that the quality of these fangs is not bad, don't point it out so directly. People will be very embarrassed.
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Xiang said this, Wang Huai and others were all confused and didn't know how to answer the call. Luo Xiang obviously didn't want to say anything more to them, so he threw a bronze token to them.
Wang Huai then grabbed Bai Qi and landed on the giant eagle.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take Bai Qi away first."
After saying that, Luo Xiang flew away directly on the eagle, leaving only Wang Huai and others messy in the wind.
"Captain, are all the beast masters of the association coming and going like this?"
Tang Miao stared blankly at Luo Xiang who left quickly, his eyes constantly changing.
"Probably not. The few people I dealt with before were quite normal. Look at Bai Qi..."
Wang Huai stopped midway through his words.
It seems like this guy is definitely not normal anymore.
…
Outside the First Emperor’s Secret Territory.
Because the entrance to the next level area was cracked, many gates took the initiative to release restrictions, which left external researchers in a hurry.
"Instructor Luo, are we going back to the headquarters now?"
Luo Xiang said: "The commission for the Thirteenth Bureau has been completed. Of course, I have to go back to the association, otherwise I won't be beaten to death by the old man when I go back."
Bai Qi nodded. The Secret Realm of the First Emperor was in front of him. If he went back like this, Bai Qi would be heartbroken.
Anyway, Luo Xiang said that points would be calculated based on his behavior here. If he didn't gather more wool in the Secret Realm of the First Emperor, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"By the way, I just returned from rubbing some runes from the entrance. You can take a good look at them when you find time. It will be helpful for your exploration in the Secret Realm of the First Emperor."
Luo Xiang handed a stack of rubbing papers to Bai Qi's hand and said: "Although the ancient rune system is not as complete as the one during the Emperor's time, it is the source of runes after all, and there is still something worth learning."
Bai Qi nodded. He had shown interest in the runes on the terracotta warriors before, so he asked Shuke to record them. Now that Luo Xiang directly delivered the rubbings to his door, Bai Qi naturally would not refuse.
Luo Xiang's rubbing technique was obviously very sophisticated, every rune was extremely clear, and Bai Qi even saw a few familiar runes on it.
Among them, the weird curse pattern that restrained the saber-toothed tiger was prominently listed.
"Instructor Luo, you just said that this rune is a slave contract. Why does it look similar to the curse mark of our contracted beast?"
When Luo Xiang heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he said, "Sure enough, you discovered it after all."
With that said, Luo Xiang pointed to the entrance of the First Emperor's Secret Realm not far away and said: "You should have heard of the legend of the First Emperor, right?"
Bai Qi nodded. Not only had he heard of it, as long as it was a history class, he would definitely talk about the emperors in human history, and as the first emperor who led mankind to escape from the slavery of ferocious beasts, it was even more important.
"According to the history that humans currently know, humans were originally just slaves raised by ferocious beasts, or food, too."
"After all, compared to the powerful physical fitness and abilities of ferocious beasts, humans are simply too weak."
"However, all this changed after the First Emperor appeared."
"The First Emperor was originally just a little slave, but from the enslavement contract attached to the vicious beasts on humans, he deduced a contract that could enslave the vicious beasts in turn, and used this power to lead humans on the path of resistance.
the way."
"And these people are the first batch of beast masters in ancient times."
Bai Qi was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew that the First Emperor discovered the method of contracting with ferocious beasts, but he did not expect that it was deduced from the contract of ferocious beasts to enslave humans. This information was indeed shocking.
"But since this contract is artificially attached, where did the curse patterns come from when they awakened their talents?"
Bai Qi thought for a moment and raised a question.
Luo Xiang said: "Do you think there is any other existence in this world that can change the talent of a race?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mythical creature? God?"
Although the Federation is based on science, it does not deny the existence of gods, otherwise there would be no such thing as mythology.
Luo Xiang shook his head and said: "Gods are just stronger beings, they don't have this ability yet."
"Who else could it be?"
Luo Xiang pointed to his feet and said: "The only one who can change the talent of a race is the core will of this world, Gaia."
"The will of the world, Gaia?"
"That's right."
A flash of light flashed in Luo Xiang's eyes, and he said: "As far as I have learned in various secret realms, the will of the world does not appear many times, but every time it appears, it can help mankind reverse the situation. The talent of beast control that mankind possesses is
It was acquired after the arrival of Gaia during the White Emperor period."
Bai Qi listened with great interest. This was the first time he knew that the history of humans, or beast masters, actually had such exciting content. He originally thought that the history class was too exaggerated, but now it seems that it is a bit
Conservative.
Suddenly he felt that he should imitate Luo Xiang and run around, dig some secret towers and so on. It felt very fun...
"I won't tell you more about the specifics. You will be exposed to it in the future. After all, you have the talent to break through the air. Those old guys at the headquarters will not let you idle."
Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said: "So your first priority is to train well and improve your strength as soon as possible, so that you can travel everywhere with me."
Seeing Luo Xiang's appearance, the corners of Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.
Brother, please stop your snickering first, otherwise everyone will know that you are dragging people into trouble and take the blame for you...
Bai Qi glanced at the curse pattern in his hand and said, "By the way, Instructor Luo, since this curse pattern is the original slave contract, does that mean that those who do not have awakening talents can also use this to become beast masters?
"
Luo Xiang's face straightened when he heard this, and he said: "Don't, it's not like no one has tried this, but they all failed in the end. After all, it was transformed from the contract of a ferocious beast, and not everyone can bear it.
"
Not everyone can bear it...
Bai Qi nodded, but another thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Human beings can't bear it, so what if it's not humans who bear it?
