Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 458 The Corpse of the Flood Dragon!
Such a grand scene could perhaps only be kept safe and sound by beings at the level of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, or even suppressed.

Even though Gu Yuan was dozens of miles underwater, he could clearly feel the surrounding seawater beginning to ripple.

It felt like a pair of giant hands were stirring the water in the tank, and that's how the little fish and shrimp at the bottom of the water felt.

The surrounding large fish and sea monsters were terrified and panicked, scattering in all directions.

In contrast, Gu Yuan remained quite calm, seemingly one with the water, unaffected by the swaying of the water's surface.

And so, Gu Yuan stayed quietly in the depths of the sea, waiting for more than three hours until the storm subsided before he cautiously surfaced.

The water surface had now calmed down.

However, many debris floated on the water's surface.

There were the carcasses of dead fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, shellfish, and marine animals, as well as debris such as broken wood, rags, and coral.

Gu Yuan also saw that many of the corpses of spirit fish and sea beasts were quite valuable, so he simply collected a lot of them.

Among them were a seven-star eel several meters long, two jade prawns thicker than a human thigh, and an armored crab the size of a water tank.

These seafood items are exceptionally large, and their meat quality is certainly much better than that of ordinary fish and shrimp.

If I had the time, I really should learn the art of butchering and taste what these seafood fish and shrimp taste like.

"Well, that's..."

Gu Yuangang scooped up a starfish. This starfish was huge, a full five feet square, and it was not completely dead yet, still somewhat alive.

Gu Yuan casually killed it with a shockwave, then put it away.

His gaze shifted, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something floating on the water some distance away.

Gu Yuan hadn't paid much attention at first, but when he took a closer look, he was immediately invigorated.

That was actually a dragon!
This dragon is over forty meters long. Its body is dark purple and covered with tiny, palm-sized scales. It has two sharp claws on its belly and a single, purplish-red horn on its head.

Even though he was dead, he still exuded a terrifying and menacing aura.

However, now, the dragon is quietly floating on the water, without making any noise.

Furthermore, a piece of his head was missing, and some pale yellow brain matter could be seen flowing out, clearly a fatal injury.

Clearly, this was an unlucky fellow who had been killed by the storm that had just swept through, and had perished here.

Without saying a word, Gu Yuan flew over and put the dragon's corpse into his storage bag.

The dragon is a special mythical beast; if it continues to evolve, it will eventually transform into a divine dragon.

Of course, not all dragons can transform into true dragons.

Take the dragon that Gu Yuan put away as an example. It has two claws and a single horn. Calling it a dragon is an exaggeration. At most, it can only be called a jiao, and the word "dragon" should be removed.

To continue its transformation, it must grow two more claws, and its single horn must become two horns. Even its bloodline must undergo transformations time and time again.

At least the dragon he just saw was far inferior to the fire dragon he had seen in the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace. At most, it was just a golden core level dragon snake.

Even so, this dragon is a treasure trove; its scales, flesh, bones, tendons, and even its inner core are all rare treasures.

Some of them can be used as spiritual medicines, while others can be used to refine magical artifacts and feed spiritual pets.

Especially that dragon tendon. Gu Yuan had actually seen a dragon-binding rope in Su Qiuyue's possession before, and the main material of that rope could actually be made from dragon tendons. Of course, with Gu Yuan's current strength and resources, he didn't need to pay too much attention to these things. However, since it was a windfall, it was bound to taste good.

Gu Yuan was in a good mood after getting a dragon corpse for free.

However, Gu Yuan also noticed that in the distance, several figures were pointing and whispering in this direction, their faces full of hostility.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan scanned the area with his divine sense and clearly noticed that these people were all permeated with some demonic energy, and there were also some traces of demonic nature on their bodies.

For example, one person had a fleshy horn growing from between their eyebrows, while another person had fine, fish-like scales on their face.

And another person's cheeks had developed organs resembling fish gills, which expelled the old and took in the new with each breath.

But if you really want to call them demons, these people also have some human characteristics.

"Could it be a human... or a demon hybrid?"

Gu Yuan had a guess in his mind: in this world, there was no concept of reproductive isolation like in his previous life.

In this world, some monsters and demons become sentient beings, transform into human form, and can mate with humans to produce offspring.

The best example is that some fox spirits transform into beautiful women, then marry scholars and have offspring.

Their descendants are of mixed human and transgender descent.

Another theory suggests that in ancient times, humans and gods lived together, and their offspring were also of mixed blood.

Although most deities take human form, they are essentially extraordinary and otherworldly life forms, already non-human beings.

Therefore, it is possible for humans and demons to have offspring.

Furthermore, some human and demon descendants remarry, and as the bloodline becomes increasingly diluted with each generation, some demonic characteristics will disappear. However, perhaps in a certain generation, the demonic bloodline will suddenly awaken.

These mixed-race demons in the distance must be the offspring of various demon races and humans.

However, because of their identity, these mixed-race individuals are often despised, looked down upon, and suppressed by both human and demon forces.

Therefore, with very few exceptions, these mixed-race individuals often do not fare very well.

However, Gu Yuan found it rather strange to look at the group of mixed-race people with fierce expressions and eccentric temperaments in the distance.

A group of transvestites, yet they are so vicious; they clearly have a lot of confidence.

Gu Yuan didn't take it to heart at first and continued searching for benefits around him. Unexpectedly, after the group gathered together and whispered for a while, they actually flew towards Gu Yuan.

"Hey you, stop right there!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan turned around and saw several human-transvestite hybrids charging towards him menacingly.

He remained calm and said indifferently, "What brings you gentlemen here?"

"Kid, I just saw the dragon corpse you put away. Be smart and hand it over. It was one of the few of us who just hunted it down, but it was seriously injured and escaped here."

The leader stepped forward a few steps and said with a forced smile.

A single horn grew from the space between this person's eyebrows.

Its horn was about an inch long, shimmering with a faint spiritual light, and its appearance was quite handsome.
