Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 456 Thunder Island

With Lanfa handling logistics, Ye Bai didn't have to worry about where to board or transfer. Before long, Ye Bai arrived in Donghai Province with Lanfa.

Donghai Province is a large coastal province with a highly developed economy; almost every city in the province is located near the sea.

However, being close to the sea also brings a major headache: thunderstorms.

It's fair to say that thunderstorms occur on roughly a quarter of the 365 days of the year.

Moreover, thunderstorms are not concentrated in one area; sometimes one city experiences more thunderstorms, and sometimes another city experiences more thunderstorms.

To avoid being struck by thunderstorms, most households in Donghai Province keep one or two thunder-type pets.

"Dear passengers, we have arrived in Penglai City, Donghai Province. Please take your belongings with you when you disembark."

After getting out of the car, Ye Bai and Lan Fa headed straight for Thunder Canyon in Penglai City.

As a result, they encountered a deluge of flyers on the outside of Thunder Canyon.

"To witness the Thunder and Lightning Qilin appear bathed in lightning?"

Ye Bai was speechless. He just wanted to complete the Thunder Rabbit evolution experiment quietly, but he never expected that Penglai City would hold such an event.

Thunder Canyon is now completely packed with people.

It was a dark mass of heads, and there were also many lightning-type pets here.

If an evolutionary experiment were to be conducted in this environment, Ye Bai would probably be out of his mind.

"How about changing places?"

Lanfa was speechless.

"There is another place called Thunder Island, located in the northwest corner of the East China Sea. It is affected by thunderstorms all year round, and the entire island is made of magnetite."

"Lightning strikes constantly from high above, but I don't know if that meets your requirements."

Ye Bai thought for a moment: "Since we're already here, let's go take a look."

"However, I remember that Thunder Island is not open to the public, as if it is to protect its mineral resources."

Lanfa nudged Ye Bai's arm with his elbow: "That's restricted to ordinary people, but a genius researcher like you can enter the island to conduct experiments."

"You can submit your application through the logistics system now. As long as the logistics department approves it, you can go to the island."

"And as your personal assistant, I can also accompany you to the island."

Ye Bai was skeptical.

He took out his phone and first applied as a lecturer named Ye Bai.

It was rejected directly by the system.

Left with no other option, he could only apply through an encrypted account in the name of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, which finally got him approved.

"Alright, it's approved. Let's go to Thunder Island."

“You know the way, right? To save time, let’s just ride on the back of the Sky-Swallowing Pelican and head to Thunder Island.”

At this moment, Lanfa shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work."

"Due to severe thunderstorms, many areas in Donghai Province are closed to flying, including the suburbs."

"If someone finds out, a single report could get you detained for ten days."

"Let's rent a car, go to the beach first, and then go to Thunder Island."

Lanfa fully demonstrated his social skills.

He hired a car and paid the driver three times the price to take him to the beach.

Then they paid for a speedboat and sped off to Thunder Island.

"Thunder Island is plagued by thunderstorms year-round, making the entire island almost lifeless except for a strange beast called the Thunder Ox, which feeds on thunder."

"However, the number of Thunder Bulls is quite small, so they are listed as protected mythical beasts."

"Leiniu has a bad temper. Once it sees other species on the island, it will immediately turn red and start panting heavily."

"If you encounter this situation, you must run away immediately, otherwise you will be pierced through by the charging Thunder Bull."

"Thunder Bulls are protective beasts. Each Thunder Bull has a monitoring device inside its body. Once the signal is lost, people will be sent to check. So Ye Bai, you must not harm a Thunder Bull."

"If a Lei Niu dies, and it's found that you were the one who did it, you'll basically face a minimum of three years in prison."

Lanfa warned Ye Bai.

They were sitting on a speedboat, heading towards Thunder Island.

The sun was shining brightly, but as we approached Thunder Island, it became overcast.

The sky was no longer a tranquil blue, but was completely swallowed up by rolling dark clouds.

These dark clouds were thick and low-hanging, with blinding flashes of electricity intermittently flashing between them, releasing deadly currents high in the sky.

Bolts of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, striking the deserted island and the sea with deafening roars.

Thunder Island was tightly bound by endless thunder. The thunder roared from the depths of the thick clouds, and each tremor was like the thunder god unleashing his fury.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the entire island was illuminated in shifting light and shadow, resembling a captivating underworld.

Encouraged by the thunder, the giant waves became even more turbulent, crashing against the island's reefs with overwhelming force and creating a deafening roar.

This is the infamous Thunder Island.

Looking at this magnificent natural wonder, Lanfa still swallowed hard.

"Ye Bai, I think with my small arms and body, I shouldn't accompany you to Thunder Island."

"I reckon I'll be annihilated by Thunder the moment I set foot on the island."

"I don't want to end up with scraggly hair."

Lanfa said with a bitter face.

No problem. You weren't originally on the list of applicants; you just insisted on coming along.

The speedboat stopped not far from Thunder Island.

"I'm sorry, the waves ahead are too big, we can't get through at all. How about we just let you off here?"

The captain said somewhat apologetically.

"It's alright, Captain. You reminded us before that I can land on the island by myself."

"Lanfa, you stay on the ship and come pick me up when the time comes. I'm going to check out Thunder Island."

"I don't know when I'll be able to come back, but I will. I'll let you know in advance through the Mirror Woman."

Ye Bai possesses a mirror created by the Mirror Woman. This mirror functions like a wireless communication device and can be used in extreme environments.

"No problem, go ahead."

Ye Bai summoned the Water Scale Beast.

The Water Scale Beast was now about the size of a great white shark.

It stood steadily on the sea with its four hooves.

"Water Kirin Beast, we're in a bit of a rush, let's set off quickly."

Ye Bai flipped over and sat on the back of the Water Kirin Beast.

A blue light shield suddenly appeared on the Water Scale Beast's body.

Pet owners, are you ready?
I'm about to charge!

The water-scaled beast stomped its four hooves, creating a huge wave.

Wherever it passed, the giant waves moved as if they were flat ground.

It leaped between the waves, moving with remarkable agility.

"Water Kirin Beast, I'm really counting on you."

This water-scaled beast is covered in shimmering blue scales, each one resembling a meticulously crafted piece of glass.

Its limbs are long and strong, and where it steps, it can calm the surging waves. Even the turbulent sea cannot stop its progress.

As a gust of wind blew and towering waves crashed in, the Water Scale Beast began its run across the sea.

Its pace was not hurried, but rather carried a calm and graceful air, with each step seemingly perfectly in sync with the rhythm of the waves.

The Water Kirin Beast is the king of the water.

As a member of the auspicious beasts, it is naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm, and it can sense where danger may be.

Suddenly, the Water-Scaled Beast leaped high into the air, seemingly accelerating. Just then, streaks of lightning, like sharp arrows, rained down from the sky.

The Water-Scaled Beast moved with incredible agility through the air, dodging streaks of electricity.

Before long, the Water Scale Beast arrived at Thunder Island.

"Hello, are you Lord Kui Mulang?"

A beast tamer carrying a laptop and wearing a white coat emerged from the rocks of Thunder Island.

"Yes, I am here. I need to conduct some secret experiments. Please do not let anyone disturb me."

"I may need to stay here for three days."

Ye Bai revealed his purpose.

"Okay, your requirements have been stated in the application."

"However, there are a few points I need to remind you of."

"First, the Thunder Bull is the protected beast of Thunder Island. You cannot harm the Thunder Bull. Even if you are Kui Mulang of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, you do not have any special privileges. The laws of Yan Kingdom are above authority."

"Secondly, it is currently thunderstorm season, and the power of thunder on Thunder Island will increase significantly. If you cannot withstand the power of thunder, please evacuate Thunder Island as soon as possible."

"Third, the island's minerals are an important resource, and private mining is not allowed."

"You will also need to sign a waiver, which means that we will not be held responsible for any accidents that happen to you on Thunder Island."

Ye Bai understood the guard's requirements.

After signing the waiver, the guard's body turned into a piece of wood.

Thunder Island is very large, with three large mountains.

The rocks here are jagged and crooked.

The violent lightning struck continuously, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The Water Scale Beast strolled gracefully, seemingly unafraid of the raging thunder.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, directly avoiding the Water Scale Beast.

This is the Water-Scaled Beast's ability to seek advantage and avoid harm.

"Water Scale Beast, let's find a suitable place for Thunder Rabbit to evolve."

Ye Bai patted the Water Scale Beast's head and said.

The Water-Scaled Beast is an auspicious beast, so it is naturally able to find a suitable place for the Thunder Rabbit to evolve.

Before long, the Water Scale Beast stopped in a remote canyon.

The canyon was filled with lightning stones, and bolts of electricity fell from the sky, striking the ground heavily.

That's how the Thunder Stone came to be.

"This is indeed a great place for Thunder Rabbit to evolve. Thank you so much, Water Scale Beast."

"Come out, Thunder Rabbit."

One by one, plump and strong Thunder Rabbits appeared.

At this moment, Ye Bai also took out Zhang Lingxue's research materials and began to quickly flip through them.

Sure enough, the teacher's research direction was different from his own.

The evolved form developed by the teacher is called Thunder Rabbit, which is the transformation of Thunder Rabbit into an elemental creature.

This idea is very bold, yet very reasonable.

Most importantly, this does not require the use of a sixth-order lightning-type crystal core.

Thunder Rabbit has blue eyes and blue-purple fur all over its body.

They all glared at Ye Bai with unfriendly expressions.

He still looked somewhat agitated.

Since they joined the logistics department, many of their companions have been taken away by humans.

According to the descriptions of the surviving companions, humans are conducting a very evil experiment on the Thunder Rabbit clan.

Many of their kind couldn't withstand the high-intensity electric current and were literally blown apart into pieces.

Therefore, the Thunder Rabbit clan all wanted to rebel against humans.

"It seems you are not very welcoming to me, but your entire race was created by me."

"I led the evolutionary experiments on positively charged and negatively charged rabbits."

"What, you want to kill me?"

"Today is a great day, and I'm planning to arrange a full-body checkup for you all."

What form do you want to evolve into?

"Thunder Rabbit? Thunder God Rabbit? Or Mad Thunder Rabbit? I'm giving you the chance to choose."

"By the way, if you have time to be hostile towards me, why don't you turn around and look behind you?"

Big Grey appeared behind them, holding the Thunder Axe high.

It had donned a suit of thunderous armor, looking exceptionally majestic.

Upon seeing this, the Thunder Rabbits immediately suppressed their malice, slid down and knelt before Big Gray, begging for mercy.

"Alright, since you all seem so energetic, I'm relieved."

"Big Grey, let's begin."

"Use Thor's axe to draw in the electricity."

Ye Bai had this idea from the very beginning.

Death will.

The leader, Death, is pointing an eternal pointer in the direction where the Big Greys are.

His face grew even paler, looking like a candle flickering in the wind.

He exuded an aura of death, and his age spots became even more unsightly.

"Finally, we've found your location using the Eternal Pointer, Thunder Totoro."

"I'm dying soon, it's time for me to come find you."

"Death misses you too. I really want to know how to gain more lifespan and live a second life."

"When I was young, I was not afraid of death, but now that I am old, I have discovered how precious life is."

"Every minute and every second must be cherished."

"Because time is like sand, slipping gently through my fingers. Every second I live, a grain of sand falls silently."

"I've reached the point where I'm completely exhausted, so nothing matters anymore."

"Death, my soul will be pledged to you directly after my death."

"You still need to put in a lot of effort in this final battle."

“I know you’ve also been coveting Thunder Totoro’s soul, so I promise to give it to you.”

The figure of Death appeared in mid-air.

It seemed very curious about what Death would do next.

"arrange?"

"You're overthinking it. I'm about to die, why would I care about this organization?"

"This organization exists because of me, and it will die because of me."

“I’ve given them so many chances, but they don’t appreciate them. Every time I search for Thunder Totoro, they just give me the runaround.”

"Do you think this old codger is no longer useful?"

The leader of Death sneered.

Death sighed softly, then raised its finger and pointed it heavily at its contractor.

The death energy was being absorbed through its fingertips.

His hunched back suddenly straightened, and his white-haired face looked younger.
