Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 506 Strange Seawater
Before long, Ye Mo found Hanhan in the forging base. As he expected, Hanhan was indeed immersed in forging.

By using the exploration function to check Hanhan's attribute panel, he also discovered that Hanhan was only a little bit away from breaking through from the fourth-tier blacksmith to the fifth-tier.

If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate that I will be able to break through within one or two weeks.

This is undoubtedly good news for Ye Mo, since after Hanhan breaks through to the fifth-level blacksmith, his blacksmithing skills will be greatly enhanced.

Even if Hanhan crafts fifth-tier extraordinary equipment, those extraordinary individuals who haven't broken through to the fifth tier would almost certainly be unable to use or equip it, since the extraordinary equipment Hanhan creates requires the user to use their own essence to support it.

To equip yourself with Tier 5 transcendent equipment, you need a powerful source of energy like a Tier 5 transcendent being; otherwise, you simply cannot obtain its blessing.

Of course, if a transcendent being's attribute strength far exceeds that of others of the same rank, their essence might be able to support a transcendent equipment of a higher rank, but such cases are extremely rare, and the number of equipment that it can support is also extremely limited.

Even if the fifth-tier extraordinary equipment that Hanhan creates after breaking through to the fifth-tier blacksmith is useless to them, it does not mean that Hanhan's breakthrough as a blacksmith is meaningless.

The greatest significance of his breakthrough in blacksmith level for Ye Mo and his spirit pets is actually the creation of domain-type equipment.

That's right, domain-enhancing extraordinary equipment. This rare and precious type of equipment should only appear at the fifth rank or above, but after Hanhan broke through to the fifth rank of blacksmith, he created a fourth-rank domain-enhancing extraordinary equipment.

The significance of this is self-evident.

It's important to understand that before reaching the fifth rank, the strength of extraordinary individuals is primarily determined by their skills, talents, and basic attribute strength. However, once they break through to the fifth rank, the competition shifts to their domain.

Perhaps in most battles between realm-level extraordinary beings, the role of their domain is merely to amplify their abilities, seemingly without much use.

However, it must be understood that this is a battle between those who possess a domain. If one side does not have a domain, or if their domain is completely suppressed, then the outcome of the battle is almost predetermined.

After Ye Daihan finished forging a piece of extraordinary equipment, he went up to him and told him about going back together later.

Hanhan didn't reveal any particular thoughts on this, simply nodding silently. However, as a spirit pet born at the giant bear breeding base, he was naturally happy about returning, no matter what. After all, that was his home too.

After finding Hanhan, Ye Mo took them with him to find the other three.

Isaac was easy to find; he was located in a deserted forest near the mountains on the north side of the island. When Ye Mo found him, Isaac was practicing his skills. With a burst of crystal flame dragon breath, the entire deserted forest turned into a sea of ​​fire, and a large amount of crystal fragments overflowed from it, giving the entire land a broken beauty.

Seeing this, Ye Mo specially asked Xiao Liu'er to use the power of a spirit plant master to restore this land. Although it could not be restored to its previous state, it could at least restore a trace of green to the land.

After that, only Bai Ling and Xing Li remained. The two of them had gone quite far. Although they were still within the territory of the Emerald Islands, they were in the sea outside the islands.

One side of the verdant island is a deep-sea area, suitable for building a port and also for activities like exploration. Perhaps that's why Bai Ling took Xing Li to play in the sea.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo shook his head inwardly, then helplessly called to Hanhan and the other spirit pets, leading them to the south side of the island, where the largest port of the verdant island was located.

……

A short while later, the port was bustling with people.

Ye Mo stood above the port with his spirit pets, using an array to conceal his presence.

"Let's go. According to the contract's sensing, they're down there." Ye Mo's gaze shifted to a point in the sea, and he said calmly.

As he spoke, he glanced briefly at the harbor scenery and nodded in approval upon seeing the bustling scene.

Although the Verdant Isles are nominally the territory of Count Karl, Count Karl is his subordinate, so the islands have long belonged to him.

That's why he pays so much attention to places like the Verdant Islands.

After all, it was his own territory. Back when this was still the territory of the Earl of Emerald Island, he, as an outsider, had ruthlessly destroyed many buildings and facilities. Thinking about it now, he still felt a little heartache.

Today, the entire Verdant Archipelago, which includes the seven islands with Verdant Island as its main component, has undergone tremendous changes under his covert control compared to when it was ruled by the Earl of Verdant Island.

Especially after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, he did not keep all the huge profits he had made for himself, but instead shared a small portion with his subordinates.

Although what he earned was only a small amount, one must understand that the wealth he had earned would shock even an ordinary sixth-tier beast tamer in Yanhuang.

Therefore, even if only some scraps are leaked, once they are scattered, they are enough to excite the low-level superhumans here, and even make them willing to sacrifice their lives.

This is not an exaggeration on his part; it's just that ordinary people and even ordinary extraordinary professionals living on the Light Spirit Continent lead very difficult lives.

Even though the land is abundant and the resources are plentiful, the vast majority of it has been seized by various powers and kingdoms. The rest are either located in some forbidden areas or in the territories of powerful magical beasts.

Ordinary superhumans have absolutely no chance of obtaining it, which is why so many superhumans ultimately choose to go to sea and venture into uncharted waters to forge their own path.

In addition, the royal families and nobles of the various kingdoms and duchies wield too much power and act arbitrarily. If an ordinary superhuman with no background is even glanced at, he might very well be killed.

The attitudes of high-level extraordinary professionals towards low-level extraordinary professionals are not much different.

Therefore, for ordinary low-level extraordinary professionals on the Light Spirit Continent, it is already difficult enough for them to survive. If they want to maintain their cultivation resources, they often need to join mercenary guilds and other similar organizations, thus risking their lives to take on missions.

This also applies to those low-level professional superhumans who join merchant guilds or noble factions.

Therefore, those low-level professional superhumans are extremely excited when faced with resources that are not even considered precious in Yanhuang.

If this is true for ordinary extraordinary professionals, then it goes without saying that it is even more true for ordinary people on the Light Spirit Continent.

If becoming a transcendent professional means that even those with low social status still have choices, then becoming a transcendent still grants them the power to choose. Whether joining a noble family, a mercenary group, an adventurer's guild, or even a pirate crew, at least they still have options.

While this choice might not guarantee a good life, if one doesn't pursue increasing their strength, the money gained can still be used for living and enjoying life to the fullest. However, the lives of ordinary people on the Light Spirit Continent are far more miserable.

The moment of their birth almost determines how their lives will unfold. Some of them live in the territories of nobles with good character, and their lives may be passable. Although they are tired, at least they don't have to worry about life. If they can live like this for the rest of their lives, that would be good enough.

However, if the lord has a bad temper, which is what Ye Mo thinks most lords are like, then the common people will suffer much more. Nobles hold absolute authority, and it is common for them to be beaten and killed at the slightest disagreement.

Some nobles even directly designated the people of their territories as resources, and once they had enough, they would select them to become slaves and sell them in bulk.

Although Ye Mo hadn't been in this otherworldly Light Spirit Continent for very long, he had seen far too many of these things. Even though the Black Stone Duchy was known for its slave trade, what he had witnessed was still truly horrifying.

Just like the Earl of Emerald Island, the former lord of Emerald Island, although he did not sell off the people of his territory, the high taxes he levied on ordinary people were still quite astonishing.

It should be noted that as an extraordinary being, the Earl of Emerald Island could squeeze every last drop of wealth from the ordinary people, yet he still levied such a huge amount of taxes, simply to demonstrate his authority as the lord.

Such situations are common in the Principality of Blackrock.

While Ye Mo wouldn't take any initiative to do anything about these things, it didn't stop him from giving certain nobles a quick and painless end after robbing them.

shhhhhh!
With a whooshing sound, Isaac, carrying Ye Mo and his group, swooped down.

At this moment, Ye Mo also turned his attention to the sea, as he still needed to call Bai Ling and Xing Li back.

However, he wasn't too worried about Bai Ling and the others' safety.

Although Xing Li's level is very low, she carries a lot of good things with her, such as storage and defensive magical items, as well as magic scrolls and other items. These are all trump cards that he gave to Xing Li for protection.

After all, among his spirit pets, only Xing Li needed those things; the other spirit pets had no use for them at all.

However, it would be a pity to sell that thing, since it would take a lot of time to find so many protective magic scrolls and items even on the Light Spirit Continent.

It's perfect for Xingli to use for protection; she can sell it later when she no longer needs it.

As for Bai Ling, there's no need to say more. With her cultivation level and comprehensive talent, she could probably hold her own against a fifth-tier magical beast for a while.

If that were to happen, a battle at the fifth level would surely alert the entire Verdant Island. At that time, Hanhan and the others would definitely notice something was wrong and would go to support Bai Ling, while also sending someone to inform him.

Therefore, as long as Bai Ling and Xing Li don't stray too far from the Verdant Island, their safety is definitely not an issue.

puff--

With a splash, the crimson crystal dragon Isaac erected a barrier and plunged directly into the sea, creating huge waves. Beside him, Hanhan, the only spirit pet not riding on Isaac's back, also erected a barrier and entered the sea, just like Isaac.

After entering the sea, relying on the senses of the contract, Ye Mo and the others quickly went deeper into the seabed.

However, as they went deeper, Ye Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

Although he knew that the southern side of Emerald Island was a deep-sea area, he did not expect it to be so deep. Isaac sprinted and went down more than a hundred meters, but he still could not see the bottom. He could only see darkness and some scattered lights.

Furthermore, as they delved deeper, the probe of mental energy seemed to be restricted, with the scope of the probe constantly shrinking.

Through the mental link, he also asked Bai You, who was most skilled in mental power, and found that her situation was similar. Her mental power probing was also restricted. Logically speaking, seawater should not have this ability, at least that's what he learned on Yanhuang.

Fortunately, his contract with Bai Ling was still very clear, and he could tell that Bai Ling was below and getting closer and closer.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he gently clapped his hands and said to the surrounding spirit pets, "Something's strange in the sea. Everyone, be careful."

After he finished speaking, Hanhan and Baiyou nodded. Although Isaac was puzzled, he prepared to defend himself.

As for Xiao Liu'er, she came to Ye Mo's side, clenched her little hands into fists, and glared fiercely, staying by his side like a bodyguard.

As they continued deeper, with the array concealing his presence, Ye Mo, sitting on the dragon's back, saw many sea beasts of various kinds, but their levels were all relatively low. The strongest of them was only a third-tier red-scaled electric eel.

Seeing this, Ye Mo's doubts deepened. He had initially thought that the ability in the seawater to block spiritual probes was caused by some powerful sea beast.

After all, some powerful sea monsters will unconsciously release certain special auras or powers, thus affecting a large area.

The effect of using seawater to block spiritual power is very similar to that.

But now it seems a bit different; otherwise, why would there be so many sea beasts here? You know, the aura emanating from some powerful sea beasts can scare away lower-level sea beasts.

However, we can't deduce anything from these facts alone; we still need to observe further.

After thinking it over, at Ye Mo's signal, Isaac gently flapped his wings and continued deeper into the barrier.

At this moment, in Ye Mo's perception, because he was closer to Bai Ling, Bai Ling in the seabed seemed to sense his arrival through the contract.

After a moment of silence, a white light suddenly appeared on the seabed, followed by a swift figure rising rapidly.

Thanks to their extraordinary vision, Ye Mo and Hanhan could see that within the white light was Bai Ling, who was now rising up with an excited expression.

As for Xingli, she was also there, but she was wrapped around Bai Ling's neck with her head resting on top of Bai Ling's head. When she looked around, there was a hint of joy in her star-like eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ye Mo stopped Isaac and then canceled Bai You's ability to hide his figure in the invisible array, leaving only the ability to hide his aura.
