Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 368 Father of Mechanical Creatures
Only then did Ye Bai take a closer look at the small island.

The island isn't very big; you can see its entire length at a glance.

All around was a vast expanse of white sea; there were no traces of pets on the island, only the marks of nature.

It stands alone, like a forgotten gem.

The sea breeze howled past, swirling up soft sand grains that drifted through the air.

A few lonely coconut trees on the island swayed in the wind, their leaves rubbing against each other and making a rustling sound, like the island's whisper.

This may be the only green spot on the island.

Golden sunlight spilled onto the beach, dappling the sea with shimmering gold.

The waves gently lapped against the shore, making a soft, splashing sound.

Looking out from a high vantage point, there appears to be a small island several nautical miles away.

Ye Bai took out the locator pointer that Lady Bat had given him.

The above shows 125°43.9′N, 23°32′E.

His eyes were wide open.

These coordinates are very close to that experimental base.

Did the Sky-Devouring Pelican teleport here in one spatial teleportation?
But it's always better to be safe than sorry; I hope I won't be discovered here.

Ye Bai planned to stay on the island to observe and see how best to get to the underwater base.

He then had Big Grey dig a cave on the island, where he planned to rest for the night.

Let's also take a look at the intelligence after midnight.

The intelligence system should provide information on how to access the underwater base.

He had no clue how to get into the base and wanted to see if the intelligence system could give him a hint.

As the sun sets, the evening glow paints the sky in orange-red hues, and the afterglow spills onto the sea, creating dazzling bands of light.

The waves, illuminated by the setting sun, seemed to be ablaze, shimmering with dazzling light.

The wind gradually picked up, and a cold wind howled as it swept in.

Inside a cave, Ye Bai was cooking a large pot of fish with charcoal, simmering the flesh of a golden pufferfish.

Besides attacking alien beasts, the Beichen Tianlang Blade is also a good choice for cutting meat.

The flesh of the golden pufferfish is sliced ​​so thinly that it is almost translucent.

The pot was bubbling with milky white fish soup, made by simmering the palm-sized bones of golden pufferfish in boiling water after a simple process of grilling and pan-frying.

Both the ever-changing butterfly and the devil bear were drooling with envy.

Ye Bai picked up a large piece of fish and gently dipped it in the pot for a few seconds. The translucent fish gradually turned white.

He put the cooked fish into his mouth and took a gentle bite.

Crisp, bouncy, and fresh.

The three flavors blended together, and Ye Bai felt as if his teeth were fighting with the fish.

It truly deserves to be called a delicacy in the world.

The little devil bear imitated Ye Bai, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and dipped it in the pot.

After it ate the fish, it was so moved it felt like it could fly.

Ye Bai looked at the demon bear floating in mid-air and found it somewhat amusing.

The golden pufferfish has a lot of meat; even when Ye Bai's pet beast went all out, it didn't consume even one-twentieth of its meat.

The water rabbit still doesn't seem to have woken up; it remains attached to the demon bear, draining its energy.

This is why the Demon Bear has to eat constantly, because it is responsible for the weight of two pets.

At this moment, Ye Bai took out the USB drive that Dr. Jubino had given him and a notebook from his pet space.

He inserted the USB drive into his laptop and began to examine its contents.

The USB flash drive uses a password encryption mode, and the password changes at different times.

It requires a dedicated decoder and a dedicated AI to perform data analysis.

However, this did not stump Ye Bai. After his fingers tapped on the keyboard for a while, the password was automatically unlocked.

It contains a lot of information, much of it about Dr. Jubino's research findings and the information he collected about the unspeakable and relics of the Old Gods.

Each document was very detailed, and Ye Bai quickly memorized them. He then took out the Record of Mythical Beasts and began frantically recording information about indescribable objects and relics of ancient gods to earn Heavenly Gate points.

Dr. Jubino's research findings are mostly about mechanical biology.

He developed mechanical mice, mechanical birds, mechanical ants, and so on.

The data contains detailed experimental records; anyone familiar with mechanics can manufacture it.

Dr. Jubino endowed mechanical organisms with artificial intelligence and can be hailed as the father of mechanical organisms.

He also developed a nanorobot that can transform living alien beasts into mechanical creatures.

He wanted to transform the angel of glory into an angel of steel.

In Dr. Jubino's mind, the Angel of Glory was the culprit who caused all of this.

This was also the source of his suffering.

The Steel Dragon was also created by modifying the remains of a giant dragon.

"It's a pity. If Dr. Jubino hadn't passed away, he might have been the father of mechanical biology in this century."

"Fortunately, Dr. Jubino was estranged from the Eighth Prince, otherwise, if this technology had been handed over, the United States' national strength would have increased considerably."

Ye Bai murmured something.

at the same time
In a deep, bottomless underground world.

The dark red lava river flowed slowly in the dark underground, making a dull rumbling sound, as if it were the low murmur of countless suffering souls.

The strong smell of sulfur permeated the air, making it suffocating.

Everywhere were charred rocks and skeletons, illuminated by the firelight, giving off a bloody crimson hue.

This place recreates a scene from hell.

Deep within this lightless realm, the cultists of Hell wear black robes and skull masks symbolizing hell.

They surrounded a huge black altar, holding lit torches that illuminated their devout yet cold faces.

Their chanting was like the whispers of the Night Demon in one's ear, filling the entire altar with an eerie rhythm.

The flames flickered, like fire sprites dancing above the altar.

The altar was piled high with sacrificial offerings, a mixture of rare and exotic beasts and treasures. Soon, black hellfire ignited, and the beasts howled as they turned to ashes.

The treasure, stripped of its essence, slowly sank into the center of the altar.

At the very center of the altar, there was a thick, black Bible. Its pages seemed to be absorbing the essence emanating from the altar, emitting a faint, eerie glow.

The surrounding area is filled with towering stone pillars and intricate reliefs depicting scenes of demonic slaughter.

Through mountains of knives and seas of fire, through boiling oil and having one's tongue pulled out, the devil's methods are endless.

Their goal is to deeply extract the fear from intelligent beings; fearful souls are their best food.

The murals engraved on the stone pillars are all depictions of the extreme torment of the soul.

These images, appearing and disappearing in the flickering firelight, resemble scenes of hell on earth.

Deep underground, a more profound terror lurks, stirring within. An invisible malice, hotter than magma and deeper than darkness, is solidifying; it doesn't belong to this world, yet it's deeply rooted here, gradually eroding this underground realm.

One day, this underground world will become part of its body.

Countless eyes flickered with malice, and the crunching sound of bones being chewed seemed to echo from the shadows.
It was resentment and hatred from the deepest part of the earth, the embodiment of all evil and suffering. It was an unknown, indescribable monster, a taboo artificially created.

Here, the cultists of Hell worship maintain the growth of this monster through their rituals and beliefs.

Any creature that dares to trespass into this forbidden place, or anyone who dares to disrupt the ritual, will forever be reborn as the forbidden food deep underground.

The Church of Hell is an ancient church that worships Lucifer, the Lord of Hell and the former Morning Star Angel. Each generation of their leaders is shrouded in mystery.

No one knew the cult leader's true identity; all they knew was that every time he appeared, a bloody frenzy would erupt.

A wisp of black mist appeared above the altar, gradually expanding to form a black throne burning with flames.

The throne was covered with hideous skulls.

These skulls all have long, sharp horns on their heads, clearly indicating that they are the remains of demons.

A person dressed in a black robe and wearing a star mask appeared.

He simply raised his hand and a black Bible appeared in his palm.

"Fellow believers, it's been a long time."

"So long ago, I had completely forgotten that I founded this church."

A hoarse voice came from under the mask.

"Thankfully, you haven't forgotten me."

"They haven't forgotten to worship the Hell Cult."

"Is everyone here?"

An immense pressure emanated from the cult leader, making the followers below feel as if they were facing a humanoid nuclear bomb.

They all lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Only after the oppressive aura subsided did anyone dare to speak.

"Star Patrol Envoy, the eclipse has not yet arrived."

"His fate was sealed three days ago."

"He appears to have been killed by an unidentifiable creature. He had told me that he was going to a place to retrieve the Iron Dragon."

"However, judging from the current situation, he has failed."

The elder standing nearby then spoke to the sect leader.

"It's a pity. I remember that Xing Shi had done some research on nanorobots. If he dies, the research will be interrupted."

"I'd also like to research how to transform demons into steel creatures."

"This is an interesting topic."

"Investigate whether there were any backups of Xing Shi's data after his death."

"If it exists, find it; if it doesn't, then forget it and don't waste everyone's time."

“Let’s examine this now; it’s been a long time since a bloody feast has been held.”

"What do you all think would be a good choice?"

"We need to kill to please the Demon Lord in order to gain more demonic power."

"Which small country do you want to wipe out?"

"I've heard that the Illuminati is planning something big soon, and I don't want to be outdone by them."

At that moment, a person wearing a skull mask stepped forward.

"Master, why don't you decide by throwing darts?"

"That's the fairest way."

"This can also determine the fate of all living beings."

From beneath the mask came the cult leader's laughter: "Haha, that's a good idea."

"I'll throw it."

The cult leader waved his hand, and a large amount of black mist appeared on the black Bible.

The fog formed a global map.

A black dart materialized in the cult leader's hand, and with a gentle throw, it struck a spot.

"Look, here's where we are."

The cult leader said leisurely.

"It's the TuTu Kingdom, a country with a population of less than ten million. It's perfect for sacrificing demons. The entire country doesn't even have a single pet master who has reached the seventh rank, so it's just right for us to use for a bloody feast."

The skull was very satisfied.

"Alright, everyone, let's get started preparing. We'll attack Tutu Kingdom in a month."

After saying that, the cult leader disappeared from the spot, and the huge demon throne turned into black mist.

The air was filled with the mournful cries of souls.

All the followers of the Hell Worship Cult turned into black mist and disappeared.

Only that taboo, nurtured by malice, still exudes a terrifying pressure.

At this moment, Ye Bai received the updated intelligence.

[1. Professor Wang is located at the Undersea Research Institute, which is situated 3,000 meters below the sea. Every month at the beginning and middle, the submarine makes a procurement trip to the mainland. Due to the impact of the Storm Dragon, the institute's supplies have been exhausted. The submarine has already purchased supplies on the mainland and is now preparing to return. No spatial fluctuations can be detected inside the submarine.]

[2. In the submarine's changing room, in locker number 43, there is an ID card that a researcher accidentally dropped. This ID card has not yet been cancelled and can be used to access most areas of the base. The researcher is currently conducting a closed experiment and will not be able to come out for more than half a month.]

[3. The underwater base holds some Chinese citizens, whom the Chinese government once believed to be dead. These individuals were prodigies in their respective fields, and Dr. Jubino's early research notes show they also wanted to develop nanomechanical technology.]

4. The pressure at an underwater base differs from that on land, which can easily trigger myocardial infarction. The nitroglycerin tablets can solve this critical problem.

[5. The underwater base contains a copy of the Sun Scripture. If the lost Moon Scripture can be found, a new form of the Eye of Truth can be unlocked. Both the Sun Scripture and the Moon Scripture are artifact fragments of the Book of Truth once belonging to the God of Truth.]

As expected, the intelligence system provided a way to enter the underwater base.

It seems we'll need the Sky-Swallowing Pelican's help to get into the underwater base.

Ye Bai thought to himself.

the next day.

The devilish little bear, covered entirely in coconut leaves, scouted through the air.

The scorching sun was shining down on it, and it was almost roasted alive.

Large beads of sweat dripped from the devil bear's body.

It felt like it was being controlled by Ye Bai.

Waaah! If it weren't for my fondness for that kind of food, I wouldn't have been able to be manipulated by such a tiny human. It's such a disgrace to the bear clan.

The devilish bear, who has merged with the water rabbit, possesses a special ability to sense water.

It can sense movement within a radius of five miles.

The devil bear will issue a warning as soon as the submarine enters its detection range.

At this point, the Devouring Pelican will locate the submarine's coordinates based on the information provided by the Demon Bear.
