Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 13 Tentacle Shrimp

"Pfft!"

"Splash!"

Almost as soon as they jumped into the water, the cool touch enveloped their bodies, and Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan immediately summoned their pet beasts.

A magnificent Five Elements magic array appeared behind the two, causing ripples in the space, and two pet beasts emerged from it.

A month later, Xiao Jiu had grown a bit, increasing in size from one meter to about one and a half meters.

It also looked a bit more robust and strong, with sharp claws and teeth on its limbs. When it bared its teeth, it looked a lot like a white giant axe.

Meow~

As soon as Xiao Jiu appeared, it obediently circled Jiang Chen once, then automatically crawled under him and was comfortably ridden by him.

Jiang Chen also reached out and touched Xiao Jiu's big head. It felt fluffy and very affectionate.

It has to be said that after nearly a month of grueling training, Xiao Jiu's spiritual power has become much stronger!

The Whale Breath Meditation Method played an important role!

What surprised Jiang Chen even more was that after he raised Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw and Water Concealment skills to the proficiency level, Xiao Jiu's cultivation level was also affected and improved accordingly!

If he continues to progress at this pace, Xiao Jiu should be able to advance to the mid-stage of awakening in another month or two!

This is what excites Jiang Chen the most!

Perhaps next year during the college entrance examination, Jiang Chen might be able to apply to the most prestigious university in the country—Yingtian Beast Taming Academy!

On the other side, as the summoning circle behind Nangong Yan appeared, a huge shrimp-like sea beast, about a meter long and with its body hunched over, emerged from it.

This giant prawn had a bright red shell and looked almost identical to the prawns Jiang Chen had eaten in his previous life: golden prawns in tomato sauce, stir-fried prawns with broccoli, crispy fried prawns, crispy salted egg yolk prawns, salt and pepper prawns, Thai sweet and spicy prawns, dry pot spicy prawns, and prawn skin egg custard. It was just much larger!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but drool. The tentacle shrimp was so big; it must taste pretty good...

However, the whiskers of a typical shrimp are just whiskers.

However, the whiskers of Nangong Yan's tentacle shrimp are tentacles, and they are thick and long.

Its body is only 1 meter in size, but its two whisker tentacles hang loosely on both sides, making it nearly 2 meters long in comparison to its body!

Moreover, these two tentacles are covered with soft armor, giving them considerable defensive capabilities.

At the same time, two sharp pincers, resembling crescent blades, grew from the tips of the tentacles.

This is the tentacled shrimp's main weapon, and also the origin of its name.

As the Tentacle Shrimp's level increases, the length, thickness, and hardness of its tentacles will also continuously upgrade, becoming thicker, harder, larger, longer, and redder!

At the same time, the legs on the abdomen of the tentacle shrimp will also gradually lengthen and turn into tentacles.

Jiang Chen could imagine that once Nangong Yan's cultivation level improved, his pet beasts would be a wonderful blessing for those with trypophobia.

"Roar~"

As soon as the tentacle shrimp appears, its compound eyes, which are attached to its head and can rotate with stalks, immediately begin to vigilantly observe its surroundings, wary of any potential dangers.

Yes, it is dangerous.

This is why Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan summoned their pets immediately.

For a beast tamer, the biggest weakness is actually the beast tamer himself!

Although pets can give back some strength to their tamers, in the early stages, the amount of strength they give back is completely insignificant.

This is why, although Jiang Chen, Nangong Yan, and the others are already apprentice beast tamers, none of them dare to come to the desolate sea to fight and hunt alone.

The school absolutely forbids it.

It wasn't because they were afraid of dying, but because their strength simply wouldn't allow it.

The marine environment is complex and fraught with various dangers.

In the past, there have often been cases where pets fought fiercely outside, only to have their own crystals stolen by enemies.

That would not only be embarrassing, but also fatal!

Nowadays, Jiang Chen, Nangong Yan, Ke Zixuan, and others all possess all their strength in their pet beasts.

Once the pet is gone, the beast tamer has no ability to protect himself. If he encounters a sea beast at this time, he will only be able to meet the King of Hell.

This is why schools don't prevent students from forming teams, but they are also afraid that students will blindly stick together for warmth and will not be able to achieve the purpose of training, so they made such a rule.

Generally speaking, schools and authorities require Beast Tamers to be at least junior professional Beast Tamers before they can hunt in the Wilderness Sea alone.

The first four levels of Beast Tamer are: Apprentice Beast Tamer, Junior Professional Beast Tamer, Intermediate Professional Beast Tamer, and Senior Professional Beast Tamer.

The apprentice beast tamer has the mark of owning an awakened-level pet.

The mark of a beginner-level Beastmaster is having at least one elite-level pet.

The mark of an intermediate-level professional beast tamer is having at least one extraordinary-level pet.

The mark of an advanced professional beast tamer is having at least one commander-level pet.

Another crucial issue is that the beast tamer's internal beast taming space is limited, and generally, a new pet beast can only be contracted after the level is advanced.

For example, Jiang Chen is currently an apprentice beast tamer, and at this time his beast taming space can only hold one pet beast.

If Jiang Chen wants to tame a second pet beast, he can only do so after advancing to the level of a beginner beast tamer.

One pet fights, and another pet protects its master; only in this way can a beast tamer possess the ability to hunt alone in the desolate sea.

Xiao Jiu and the tentacle shrimp cautiously scanned their surroundings, but since they had not yet officially entered the Nanhu underwater grassland, the surroundings were only filled with ordinary marine life:

There are rays that sway their bodies like a curtain fluttering in the wind; there are sea bream that look like they are wearing a beautiful bodysuit; there are tubefish with mouths like flutes; there are sea snakes with long mouths and sharp teeth and flat, long tails; there are large sea turtles that drift slowly in the water; there are jellyfish that look like plastic bags, and so on.

A dazzling array of marine life appeared around the two of them, a feast for the eyes.

These are just ordinary marine creatures. Only when they absorb enough spiritual energy and "awaken" will they become powerful sea beasts.

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief when they found that there were no sea beasts around.

Jiang Chen looked up again and realized that the seabed where the two of them were standing was about seventy or eighty meters above the sea level.

Sunlight slanted down from above the two of them, casting a pale golden glow directly onto their feet. Its penetrating power easily passed through the seawater, causing it to fade in color.

This gave Jiang Chen the illusion that the seawater surrounding him was a different kind of air.

It was around 10:30 a.m., and the sunlight was shining obliquely on the undulating sea surface.

The light is refracted and distorted as if passing through a prism. When the underwater plants, reefs, buds, shells, corals, etc. are illuminated by this refracted light, their colors change slightly and they appear in seven colors.

The various color combinations intertwined to create a beautiful image of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, like the palette of a painter who skillfully uses color, which broadened Jiang Chen's horizons!

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had also been to the seaside.

However, the beach, littered with trash, left Jiang Chen with absolutely no impression. He only noticed how scorching the sun was and how white the girls' legs were...

Now, here, Jiang Chen finally witnessed the depth and beauty of the sea once again!

This desolate sea doesn't seem so dangerous after all...

However, Jiang Chen knew this was an illusion!

Because when he looks around, he can only clearly distinguish objects within a range of two or three hundred meters.

Once you're more than 300 meters away, all you see is a blurry indigo blue, and you can't tell anything apart.

This is why trainee beast tamers are not allowed to hunt in the desolate sea independently; their cultivation level is not high enough at this time, and their visual range in the water is only so short.

If you encounter any danger, there won't be enough time to react.
