Beast Control: I’m really not a master of training

The group, riding on flying pets, soon arrived at their destination, or rather, above it.

Li Qian hovered in mid-air, pointed to the sea below, and said, "It's right here!"

Wu You, the Winged woman riding on the back of Li Qian's Extremely Fierce Sky-Soaring Eagle, didn't think much and said directly, "Shall we go down and check it out now?"

Li Qian glanced at Wu You, then said calmly, "No need to rush. We don't know what's under the sea, and rushing in might lead to unforeseen dangers."

Wu Hongxia, also riding a flying pet, hovered directly above the destination's sea level. After hearing Li Qian's words, she immediately said, "Let my Horned Star Sharks go down first."

At this moment, Jiang Hao also spoke, expressing his thoughts, "No, Dean Wu, your Horned Star Sharks are the main force of our operation. Exposing them so quickly isn't a good idea."

Without pausing, he continued to analyze, "Let my Water Source Spirit go down first. If there's no danger under the sea, that's naturally the best. If there is danger, it can lure the enemies up first, and your Horned Star Sharks can ambush them from the side."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and summoned the Water Source Spirit, a humanoid pet with skin the color of sea blue.

The biggest difference from other humanoid pets was its lower body. Instead of normal human legs, it was a mass of flowing water.

It was suspended in mid-air by this mass of flowing water. Li Qian knew that this was just the Water Source Spirit's basic state. If it entered the water, it could take on a new form, completely merging with the water.

This fused state was the Water Source Spirit's most powerful, allowing it to unleash two hundred percent of its combat power.

Wu Hongxia glanced at the Water Source Spirit summoned by Jiang Hao, sensed the surging energy on its body, and nodded, agreeing to the suggestion, "That works too, but be careful."

Just as Wu Hongxia finished speaking, under Jiang Hao's command, the Water Source Spirit silently merged into the sea.

Seeing this, the others stopped talking and stood still, waiting for information from Jiang Hao, or rather, the Water Source Spirit.

The wait didn't last long. About five minutes later, through the soul contract, Jiang Hao sensed the information transmitted by the Water Source Spirit.

He didn't waste time and immediately shared the information he received, "Let's go down and take a look. The Water Source Spirit sent information that there's a discovery under the sea."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately took action. They repeated the process, using water-attribute pets to create isolation bubbles, enveloping their entire bodies, and then directly sank into the sea.

Initially, there was still some light inside the sea because the depth wasn't great, but as they continued to dive, it gradually became pitch black.

This didn't stump them. Wu Hongxia acted swiftly, releasing the mechanical octopus for illumination again.

With the help of the beams of light emitted by Wu Hongxia's mechanical octopus, the underwater scenery gradually appeared.

Soon, Li Qian noticed something was wrong. He immediately communicated with Wu Hongxia and Jiang Hao through his smart wristband, "This is... a formation? It does emit an energy fluctuation, quite similar to the energy fluctuation in Seven's body."

The reason Li Qian could discover this residual formation so quickly was not only due to Seven's guidance but also because the residual formation was still emitting a faint light.

Looking at the flickering array patterns lying on the seabed rocks not far away, he couldn't wait to say, "Let's go, let's go take a look now."

Whoosh...

Just as Li Qian was about to sink to the seabed to investigate, suddenly, Seven swam quickly, making a series of water-stirring sounds, seemingly deliberately trying to attract his attention.

Mo Ziyu noticed Seven's reaction and immediately reminded, "Li Qian, look quickly, Seven's dragon scales seem to be resonating with this residual special formation."

Hearing the voice from the communication device, Li Qian subconsciously looked over, and he also noticed the clue.

At this moment, the scales on Seven's body were also flickering, emitting a faint light extremely similar to the residual formation.

The formation remaining here must have an inextricable connection with Seven, or rather, with the Deep Sea Dragon Serpent.

After thinking of a certain possibility, Li Qian's thoughts couldn't help but turn. He pondered, 'I still have two vacant task slots, I can give it a try.'

If there was only one task slot left, he would still hesitate. After all, task slots should be reserved, just in case.

But after advancing to Emperor, his task slots expanded, and the number also increased to five, so there was no need to hesitate any longer.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all and immediately moved his mind to create a new pet research task in his mind.

[Task 4: Research on the next stage of evolution of the Deep Sea Dragon Serpent, successfully established, current task progress 30%!]

As soon as this research task was established, the progress value reached 30%. Li Qian was quite pleased to see this. 'Without knowing anything, just seeing this residual formation, there is actually a 30% task progress value. It seems that my guess is correct. This residual formation is indeed related to the subsequent evolution of the Deep Sea Dragon Serpent.'

Whoosh...

Just as Li Qian was frowning and thinking, the sound of water disturbance entered his ears again, and then he felt that Seven was conveying an anxious emotion.

After receiving the information from Seven, Li Qian immediately said, "Not good, Seven discovered that a large number of energy fluctuations are approaching rapidly, most likely... enemies!"

'I just don't know if they are from the Thousand Islands Federation, or... cultists from the evil organization.' He then added silently in his heart.
