Chapter 787: The Age of Slavery
The long river of time.
"Delta, how long have we been in the river of time?"
Bai Qi looked at the endless river of time in front, behind, left and right and couldn't help but ask.
Bloopers.
(Master, there is actually no point in discussing time within the long river of time.)
Delta turned his head to look at Bai Qi, and Bai Qi also reacted and couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, there is really no point in discussing time in the long river of time.
"But even if we don't consider the significance of time, we have been here for quite some time. Are we going to continue like this?"
Bai Qiucha opened his eyes, feeling that his mental strength had increased a lot, and said.
"I don't know either, but it seems good to be able to improve my strength in such a leisurely way."
Bai Qi shook his head and looked at the endless river behind him, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
Before, when he was not in the River of Time, he had to worry about being discovered by Deathwing, or doing something and being forcibly taken away by the River of Time.
Now that they are directly in the long river, they can calm down and practice well without worrying about running out of time.
"Indeed, I always feel that there will be no peace after I meet up with you, Bai Qi."
Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi with a wry smile and said, "The most important thing is that I can't help much. It's really uncomfortable to just watch from the sidelines."
"The battles we've encountered recently are completely beyond our endurance. I feel like if this continues, I might start to fall behind."
"Don't think too much. It's not that time yet."
Bai Qi patted Zhuge Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Besides, I have thought of another way to improve your strength."
"A way to improve my strength?"
Zhuge Chen was stunned at first, then shrugged and said, "It is obvious that our Zhuge family hired you as a spokesperson, but why do I feel like I have become the spokesperson for your experimental results now?"
"Zhuge Chen, just be content. In such a large federation, who can be treated as well as you are?"
Bai Qi punched Zhuge Chen hard, and then contacted Shuke.
"Shuke, how is the alchemy digestion going?"
"The information given by the Dark Emperor is very mixed, but fortunately I have the Greed skill, so I have almost mastered it."
Shuke immediately responded to Bai Qi's question and said, "I'm trying to figure out how to combine alchemy with what I learned before, and I should be able to get started later."
"Very good, pin this task to the top. If we can go back, it might be of great help to the Federation."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Don't worry, give me some more time, and I will produce results that will satisfy you, Beastmaster."
Shuke's voice gradually faded away, and Bai Qi felt relieved, while continuing to perfect his plan.
Bloopers.
(Master, look ahead.)
At this moment, Delta suddenly stopped. Bai Qi looked up and saw a picture suddenly appear in front of the long river of time that was always filled with yellow sand.
"A specific picture of the time node appeared. Isn't this an invitation for me to come in?"
Bai Qi understood what was happening, and Delta immediately sped up and rushed towards the scene.
As an invisible wave flowed through their bodies, Bai Qi and the other two suddenly felt the atmosphere around them change. When they opened their eyes again, they had already left the long river of time.
"Sure enough, a new era has arrived~"
Feeling the rich energy around them, Bai Qi and the other two smiled at each other, but suddenly they noticed something unusual and looked down at the same time.
The Delta that was supposed to be carrying them disappeared at some point, and they fell to the ground at an accelerated speed under the pull of gravity.
"Delta, what happened?!"
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately contacted Delta, but Delta did not move at all.
Not only that, except for Delta, all other pets lost contact, and Bai Qi couldn't even enter his own pet space.
"Bai Qi, my talent seems to be useless!"
Bai Qiucha also noticed something unusual at this time and waved the empty back of his left hand, while Zhuge Chen helplessly patted the unresponsive secret realm ring.
"The contract and the secret tower are both sealed?"
Bai Qi gritted his teeth. He had already guessed something, but now there was no time for him to think about it.
Because they are about to fall to the ground now!
"Damn it! If this happens again, I will make Delta send us to the ground first!"
While Bai Qi was complaining, he tried hard to contact his pet, but there was no response.
Buzz buzz buzz...
At this moment, the evolution egg suddenly shook, and Bai Qi's consciousness entered the beast taming space again. Before he could see the situation clearly, he was kicked out.
Then, in Bai Qiucha's surprised eyes, Bai Qi's legendary curse appeared again, and the seven pets appeared beside them at the same time, catching them steadily.
"Bai Qi, how come you can suddenly summon a pet?"
Bai Qiucha tried again, but found that he still couldn't contact the bone dragon, and Zhuge Chen was unable to open the secret ring.
"I don't know either. Maybe it has something to do with my talent."
Bai Qi looked at the Evolution Egg, which had regained its calm, thoughtfully, while Bai Qiucha showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Sky-breaking talent? I see. Sky-breaking talent can break through the defense of the secret tower. It is possible that it will be effective at this time."
Bai Qiucha suddenly realized what was going on and a hint of relief appeared on his face.
"Who knows?"
Bai Qi shrugged, confirmed the condition of his pets again, and began to check the surrounding environment.
Compared with the previous eras, the air here is obviously much fresher, and the energy around is also much stronger.
However, what concerned Bai Qi the most was the scene he saw when he fell from the sky just now.
"Shuke, determine our location immediately."
"Beta, check if there are any signs of powerful beasts around."
"Jerry, look for any useful intelligence."
"As for the others, first make sure your combat effectiveness is not affected, and be prepared for defense and combat."
As soon as Bai Qi gave an order, the pets all took action. Bai Qiucha also noticed the abnormality in Bai Qi's attitude and asked about it immediately.
"Bai Qi, is there something wrong with this place?"
"It's not this place that has a problem, it's this era that has a problem."
Bai Qi shook his head, looked at Zhuge Chen, and said, "Do you remember why your bond seal cannot be triggered?"
"You mean, your Beast Tamer talent is ineffective because this thing doesn't exist in this era?"
Zhuge Chen understood immediately and his face was filled with surprise.
"Yes, if my guess is correct, we may have come to an era where humans are still enslaved by ferocious beasts."
Bai Qi sighed and looked up at the sky above his head, feeling mixed emotions.
This really intends to let him witness every major event of mankind, but I don’t know where the First Emperor is now.
According to his experience of time traveling, no matter which era he travels to, he will meet those human emperors.
Now, the only emperor who fits this era is the First Emperor.
Bai Qi shared his ideas with Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen, and they were both very excited.
This emperor was unique in history and changed the destiny of mankind. No other emperor could compare to him.
"But the talent of a beastmaster hasn't even been born yet, so the First Emperor is probably still just a slave right now, right?"
The three of them gradually calmed down, and Zhuge Chen also put forward his own ideas.
"I guess so. Otherwise, even if humans escape from the tribe, they will not be a match for the beasts."
Bai Qi nodded and said, "Next, we will collect intelligence first, and then consider subsequent actions."
Bai Qi paused and said, "Considering your current state, why don't you stay in my secret base first?"
"That's all we can do."
The two of them smiled bitterly and agreed to Bai Qi's suggestion.
Although their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, it is still not enough to confront the ferocious beasts head-on. Staying outside would really cause trouble for Bai Qi.
Bai Qi took the two of them into the secret base, and Husky returned to Bai Qi and told him the information he had investigated.
"Sure enough, I really have traveled back to the time when humans were enslaved."
Looking at the images taken by Shuke showing those humans with dull eyes and hunched bodies, Bai Qi's mood also became heavy.
Although human history is not as long as that of the ferocious beast tribe, it is not short either. It has experienced ups and downs, but if we were to say which era is the most unbearable to look back on, it would definitely be now.
Before the First Emperor started the rebellion and humans mastered the power to tame beasts, humans were just a group of livestock, a group of nutrients used to promote the growth of the ferocious beast cubs in the tribe.
For ferocious beasts, humans are the best food, but also the lowest form of existence.
In this era, human beings have no power of their own, no thoughts of their own, let alone things like culture.
"In this era, not only can he escape from the slavery of the tribe, but he can also find a way to contract a ferocious beast. The First Emperor is indeed the son of destiny. He doesn't make any sense at all."
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the more he admired the First Emperor. At the same time, he was also grateful that he could travel to the peaceful era of the Federation.
If he had traveled directly to the present, considering the time it took the Evolution Egg to awaken, he would probably have become ashes.
Oh, no, the Evolution Egg will be activated when it encounters a mutant, and maybe it can awaken ahead of time.
"Forget it, let's go get more specific information first."
Bai Qi shook his head and drove away all distracting thoughts.
"Human, you plan to collect the data yourself. Is this too dangerous?"
Shuke saw Bai Qi's plan and asked.
"It's definitely dangerous, but it seems there's no safe place in this era."
Bai Qi smiled faintly and said, "Besides, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to find the First Emperor on your own?"
Ahhhhhhh…
(Human, can I say that your current expression is very similar to those of your fanatical fans...)
"real?"
Ahhhhhhh…
(Yeah, just as stupid...)
