Chapter 306 Water Scale Beast

Special clay, what the heck is that?

Which is better, the Stone Lion Ghost King or the Earth Stone Lion?
A multitude of question marks flashed through Ye Bai's mind, his thoughts colliding with each other.

He recalled all the clay in his memory.

However, he did not find suitable clay.

"Based on my experience, I can conclude that the clay that can evolve the stone lion should be in this vicinity."

"Just like where there are poisonous snakes, there is always an antidote within seven steps."

"Moreover, that clay can evolve a stone lion into a stone lion ghost king, and the title of ghost king must be a necromancer-type beast."

"So that clay is very likely soil that has been soaked in blood for a long time, and the yin energy is persistent and does not dissipate, which is why it meets the evolutionary conditions of the Stone Lion Ghost King."

Ye Bai deduced the location of the clay by using reverse reasoning.

"Therefore, we need to find someone who is very familiar with the Nantianmen Fortress."

Ye Bai stroked his chin and murmured.

After Ye Bai told his senior uncle this, Jiao Mujiao nodded immediately.

He waved to his personal assistant, Anna.

Anna walked straight over. Anna had lived in Nantianmen Fortress for a long time and was in charge of logistics, so she should know where the special clay was located in Nantianmen Fortress.

"Anna, do you know where in this land you can find clay that looks like blood?"

"Or perhaps there's a place where yin energy is more concentrated?" Jiao Mujiao asked Anna.

Anna tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I guess there's one place that might be it."

"But that place might be near the slaughterhouse."

"The slaughterhouse has been slaughtering exotic animals for years, and the bricks on the ground are soaked with blood."

“I often felt that lingering chill when I was picking up goods at the slaughterhouse.”

Ye Bai remembered that there was actually a passage leading to the Blood River from the slaughterhouse.

Therefore, that area of ​​ground must have been soaked in blood.

Ye Bai stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

"Let's find a pet trainer with ground-based skills and go to the slaughterhouse together."

Ye Bai ordered.

"Master Uncle, I still need a large number of dark element crystal cores, ground crystal cores, and so on."

"Evolving the stone lion requires extensive experimentation and comparison."

"We don't have much time left."

"The only option is to expand the scope of the experiment."

"Whether it's a black lion or a white lion, any lion that can evolve is a good lion."

Whether they evolve into Earth Stone Lions or Stone Lion Ghost Kings, they can all be upgraded to sixth-tier beasts. In a short period of time, the defense of the South Heavenly Gate fortress will be greatly enhanced.

This is crucial for defending the South Heavenly Gate Fortress and boosting the morale of the pet masters.

Jiao Mujiao also knew the importance of this research. After sending someone to inform Han Yan and Zhang Dashan, the two of them waved their hands and agreed to Ye Bai's request.

The Nantianmen Fortress has no shortage of resources now.

If the Nantianmen Fortress is breached, it will only benefit other strange beasts.

It would be better to use all of it for experiments.

Zhang Dashan meant that he would give Ye Bai whatever he wanted.

He had witnessed Ye Bai's talent in research. Su Qingxian had once praised Ye Bai, saying that Ye Bai's talent in research was even greater than Xiao Xue's.

Since the highest-ranking official has agreed, no one else has anything to say.

Large quantities of dark-type and terrestrial-type crystal cores were transported here in boxes.

Ye Bai knew that for the Earth Stone Lion to evolve, the ratio of Earth Crystal Core to Earth Stone Milk must be even.

The burrowing rat's secret realm, which Zhang Lingxue once controlled, contained a large amount of earth stones and earth stalactites.

Although the Earth Stone is of a low grade, Ye Bai believes that as long as there is enough earth energy, the stone lion that has become the core will surely be able to be reborn.

"Master Uncle, is there still the core of the stone lion here?"

"Teacher, do you still keep the burrowing mouse's secret place?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked.

Jiao Mujiao was unaware of the situation, but Anna, who was standing next to him, reported the data.

"Currently, there are still one hundred cores in Shishi, and these cores are all in a state of waiting to be activated."

"In addition, we have a thousand gargoyle cores."

"However, gargoyles are generally only at the third tier. If you need them, I can take them out."

Anna continued.

Gargoyles.

Ye Bai stroked his chin, his eyes darting around. Gargoyles are third-tier exotic beasts, and wealthy families usually use them as guards.

They possess considerable combat power, but if they were to face a fifth-tier alien beast, they would surely be doomed.

If we can take advantage of this time to transform the gargoyle into a fifth-tier beast, then it is still possible.

"A gargoyle."

"In that case, let's do it together."

However, gargoyles should only be able to be buried in the silt beneath the slaughterhouse.

Anna was ordered to retrieve the cores of the stone lion and the gargoyle.

Zhang Lingxue then relinquished control of the Groundhog Secret Realm.

She also has two secret realms, making her a true wealthy woman.

It's important to know that a secret realm is worth at least several hundred million Alliance Coins, and once a secret realm appears, it will be snapped up by everyone.

Ye Bai planned to bury all fifty stone lion cores in the silt of the slaughterhouse.

The remaining fifty stones were placed in the Burrowing Rat's Secret Realm, but all the Burrowing Rats in this realm had been killed by Zhang Lingxue, so it was currently just a place rich in Earth Stones.

Fifty stone lion cores fell precisely from the sky, and the moment they made contact with the ground, they slowly merged into the core of the earth.

They will draw power from the earth's stones to complete their final evolution, but it's unknown how long that will take.

Under the dim lights, the slaughterhouse for the strange beasts was filled with a thick smell of rust and blood.

Sharp howls echoed between the cold walls. Beasts were tightly bound by iron chains, their pupils gleaming with fear and despair.

Many of the strange beasts were wielded by the butcher's blade, which was then viciously hacked at.

The slaughterhouse floor was covered with congealed bloodstains, the crimson bloodstains intertwining with the dark brown marble floor to create a cruel picture.

The butchers in charge of slaughtering the animals wore blood-stained leather coats, and the butcher knives in their hands gleamed coldly. With each strike, the howls of strange beasts and spurts of blood filled the air.

The butcher was very skilled; with a single stab, the beast would die instantly, its head severed and rolling on the blood-soaked ground.

Besides the dead beasts, there are still many living beasts here.

The air was thick with the scent of death, and the beasts that had been stripped of their lives left behind only a trail of blood and the cold smiles of the butchers.

The blood seeps through the ground downwards, eventually turning into drops of extremely pure blood that flow into the blood river.

Amidst the bloodshed and carnage, a young beast huddled in a corner, its eyes filled with bewilderment and fear of the world.

Its faint breathing was almost inaudible amidst the clamor of the slaughterhouse, as if it would be swallowed up by its merciless fate at any moment.

The young beast was originally wreaking havoc in the mysterious sea realm, but for some unknown reason, it fell into a spatial rift and ended up here in a daze. Originally, a butcher was going to kill it completely, but seeing that it was too thin and weak, he let it go for the time being.

The little beast's gaze suddenly hardened. It struggled to its feet, and despite its trembling limbs, it slowly inclined towards the door.

His body was covered in pungent and disgusting bloodstains.

The butchers were oblivious to this scene, continuing their daily slaughtering work, while the young beast was preparing to fight with all its might for survival.

It had a vague premonition that as long as it could escape from here, it would surely be able to live another life.

The strange beast crawled out little by little, its heart pounding. Would it be able to escape the pursuit and be reborn?

Just then, the slaughterhouse gate creaked open.

Ye Bai and others filed in.

The butchers all turned their gazes to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai then smelled the disgusting stench emanating from the butchers; it was the smell of rotting corpses.

[Blood Demon Clone: ​​In order to collect enough blood, the Blood Demon kills them alive and then burrows into their corpses to live in their place.]

Holy crap, the Blood Demon killed everyone here!

In order to summon the demon god, the Blood Demon truly disregarded everything.

"Stop all slaughtering operations and get out of here now."

Anna said sternly.

The Blood Demon's clones were secretly displeased, and they raised their blood-stained butcher knives.

Just as he was about to bring down the butcher's knife, the Blood Demon secretly gave him another command.

He told his clone not to rush into action and to retreat first, as now was not the time to clash with Ye Bai and the others, as he was somewhat wary of Ye Bai.

Because he single-handedly killed the Corpse Whisperer who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment.

Therefore, in the eyes of Blood Demon Du Bo, Ye Bai was like a devil.

If Ye Bai discovers that he is still alive and secretly manipulating the underground of the Nantianmen Fortress to condense a river of blood...

He will definitely be blown to bits by Zhang Dashan's furious punch.

Only after summoning the Blood Demon God did Du Bo feel that he had a backer and something to rely on.

After much difficulty, Blood River had recovered to four-fifths of its strength, and Du Bo was now absolutely determined not to allow Ye Bai to disrupt his plans.

The butchers, possessed by the Blood Demon, strolled away unsteadily.

Ye Bai picked up the scaly cub from the ground.

The cub tried to struggle, but found itself to be far too weak.

"Sweetie, it looks like you've been really frightened."

In Ye Bai's eyes, this was the legendary Water Scale Beast.

It is considered a descendant of the Qilin, a naturally auspicious creature.

As long as he can form a contract with the Water Kirin Beast, his luck will be smooth sailing and he will not be easily schemed against.

Ye Bai managed to save the Water Scale Beast a step ahead.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any water-type beasts or beasts that could manipulate luck.

With the Water Kirin Beast, Ye Bai was no longer afraid of others using curse-type skills to detect his aura and find his whereabouts.

His fate will be disrupted by the Water Scale Beast.

【Name: Water Kirin Beast】

[Gender: Female]

【Attribute: Water/Light】

[Characteristic: Auspicious: Being near the Water Scale Beast brings good luck; it is an innate auspicious creature.]

[Level: Tier 3, Level 5]

【Skill: Water Dragon Bullet (Proficient): With its four hooves on the water, it summons a water dragon-shaped water dragon bullet to attack the opponent.

Stomp (Master): Use all four hooves to stomp on the opponent, creating a shockwave that will stun them.

Water Healing (Proficient): Summons a stream of water to restore one's body; its power is greater than imagined.

Water Cannon (Skilled): Uses a cannon to shoot water from its mouth to attack enemies.

[Evolution Route 1: Holy Water Qilin Beast: By absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, seizing fortune, and obtaining the Water Spirit Orb, it can evolve into the Holy Water Qilin Beast.]

Ye Bai
I've never seen this kind of evolution before.

It truly lives up to its name as the Sacred Water Qilin Beast.

Ye Bai wanted to silently give this little guy a thumbs up.

Dude, this evolutionary approach of yours is baffling even to a professional researcher like myself.

"Sunflower King, take good care of this little brother."

Sunflower King took the little brother, whose body was covered in blood, from Ye Bai's hands.

It used its roots to absorb the blood mist from the Water Scale Beast.

A short while later, a Water Scale Beast appeared, its entire body covered in light blue scales.

Its big eyes blinked, making it look very cute.

Even the Sunflower King thought the Water Kirin Beast was very beautiful, which must be due to the Water Kirin Beast's inherent good fortune.

"Ye Bai, what should we do next?"

The person with the talent for ground combat is named Yaro.

His strange beast was a burrowing rat, a creature that looked a lot like a screaming groundhog.

However, its claws are thin and long, each one being ten centimeters long.

"Make the groundhog dig fifty holes in the ground."

"I'll put the stone lion core and the earth crystal core in together later."

"Then we can watch the Stone Lion Core evolve."

"However, this might take a while."

After hearing this, Yaro didn't say anything, but instead nodded slightly to the burrowing rat.

The hard red marble was as fragile as paper, easily broken through by the digging rats.

It dug a bottomless pit with great ease.

The underground silt was like blood-red slime.

Ye Bai nodded to Anna, who then sent people to bury the stone lion core, the dark crystal core, and the earth crystal core into the deep pit.

After the fifty pits were filled, Ye Bai had the digging rats dig a thousand more deep pits at the edges. After doing this, Ye Bai clapped his hands and stood in the bloodstains. Sunflower King brought over a chair and asked Ye Bai to sit down.

"You all go out first. I'll stay here to observe the evolution of the stone lion's core."

"Leave one person outside to keep watch. I will notify you immediately if there are any special circumstances."

Anna and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

What is Ye Bai trying to do? These cores are all buried underground, so how is he observing the evolution of the stone lion core?

Everyone was immediately puzzled.

However, they did not question Ye Bai; instead, they silently withdrew.

Ye Bai's eyes were peering through the ground, observing the growth of the stone lion's core.
