Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 157 White-tailed Pearl-Nourishing Pond (Bonus Chapter for 550 Monthly Tickets)

In the thick morning fog, a burly man dressed in a gray training uniform with a black cloth blindfold tied around his eyes slowly walked out.

Although his eyes were covered, he could see as if he could, nimbly dodging debris and ropes on the dock, and walked straight toward Jiang Chen and the other two.

Jiang Chen stared at the muscular man in front of him, momentarily stunned: "Hello, are you Senior Brother Li Qing?"

"Hello, Junior Brother Jiang Chen," the muscular man replied, his voice rough and deep, exuding a mature and steady aura. "Principal Jiang has already told me that this is your first time at sea, and I will take care of you."

"Thank you, senior brother. I have a question. Was the cloth you used to bind your eyes red?" Jiang Chen stared at the other person and couldn't help but ask.

"Red? No, I've always used black," Li Qing replied with a puzzled tone.

"Alright then... Yiku!" Jiang Chen suddenly called out halfway through his reply.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen's sudden action left Li Qing completely bewildered.

"without……"

"Hello, Senior Brother Li Qing." The little girl greeted the burly man as he approached, indicating that they had a good relationship.

"Hello, Yan." Li Qing nodded in response.

Then he raised his eyes, which were covered by a black cloth, and looked in the opposite direction from where Zhao Ziyi was: "Since everyone is here, let's set off immediately."

"Principal Jiang specifically instructed us to set off early, avoid being noticed, and maintain a low profile and keep the mission confidential as much as possible!"

"So far, only the four of us and Principal Jiang know about this mission; even the military is unaware of it."

"I'll tell you the specific details of the mission on the way."

"Okay, Senior Brother Li." Yan Mengmeng.

"Yes, Senior Brother Li." Jiang Chen.

Zhao Ziyi didn't speak, but slowly walked over.

Seeing that Zhao Ziyi and Jiang Chen were about to summon their pets, Li Qing raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Let's all four of us sit on one pet. It will be easier for me to explain the mission later."

As Li Qing spoke, a dazzling five-pointed star magic circle opened behind him, and a colossal creature, as big as a water vat and seven or eight meters long, emerged from the summoning magic circle.

This pet resembles a large python, with its body covered in hard, thick scales as big as a palm.

It has two black horns on its head and a thick, light brown mane that sways gently in the sea breeze.

Its facial bones protrude and are long, with deep fangs.

The corners of the mouth are made of ligaments that can easily split open to 180 degrees!

Within a pair of crimson pupils, each the size of a lantern, flowed a blinding light like molten lava!

That's right, this is a dragon head, a dragon head moray eel!

As soon as this dragon-headed moray eel appeared, a terrifying and majestic aura was released around it, as if the surrounding air had suddenly become like a swamp, making it difficult for people to move!

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, but he easily broke free from the restraints with a little effort.

He understood that this was a unique ability that all dragon-attribute pets (sea beasts) possessed: Dragon's Might!

Of course, not all dragon attributes are possessed; only those whose dragon bloodline reaches a certain concentration or whose cultivation level reaches a high level will possess them.

Jiang Chen carefully examined the dragon-headed sea eel in front of him and found that although its level was only at the late stage of the Extraordinary Realm, the dragon blood aura on its body was not low, and it should have reached the level of a fifth-level general!

Jiang Chen nodded. As expected, he was a teammate specially found by Jiang Henian. He was no ordinary person!

Dragon's Might is actually a type of mental skill.

This same mental skill can also be found in some generals and commanders who wield great power.

For example, what Jiang Chen witnessed from Yan Chao a few days ago was that the aura that the other party casually exuded could make people feel apprehensive; that was killing intent!

In terms of skill nature, Dragon's Might and Killing Intent belong to the same category.

Li Qing, whose eyes were bound with black cloth, glanced at Zhao Ziyi and Jiang Chen without making a sound. Seeing that the two of them had instantly neutralized the dragon's might of the dragon-headed sea eel, he immediately nodded in satisfaction.

The true Dragon Might skill is a high-level skill, while his Dragon Head Eel is currently only at the extraordinary level, so naturally he cannot learn it.

At this moment, the "Dragon's Might" on its pet is merely a passive attribute brought about by the dragon bloodline itself, and this effect is very weak.

If Jiang Chen and Zhao Ziyi can't even withstand such a weak dragon's might, then Li Qing will simply abandon the mission!

Because that's not going on a mission, it's going to your death!

Before today, Li Qing had actually investigated Jiang Chen and Zhao Ziyi's information in advance and watched a lot of their battle videos. He only dared to accept this mission after he had a good understanding of the two.

After all, the scariest thing about team combat is: it's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates.

Li Qing was unwilling to lead three rookies on a long journey to the territory of the Red Skull Devil Fangfish and get himself killed!

Therefore, certain testing methods are indispensable. This is to be responsible for one's own life and also for the sake of the two junior brothers.

……

As soon as the enormous dragon-headed moray eel was summoned, Li Qing was the first to jump onto it and sit on its neck below the dragon's head.

"Yan Mengmeng, you sit behind me. You're a support-type Beast Tamer, so I'll protect you immediately if we encounter any danger," Li Qing instructed.

"Yes, Senior Brother Li," Yan Mengmeng replied, jumping onto the dragon-headed sea eel.

The dragon-headed moray eel is seven or eight meters long, with a broad back, which is more than enough for the four of them to ride in.

"Who wants to sit behind Yan Mengmeng...?"

"I'll do it!" Before Li Qing could finish speaking, Jiang Chen quickly jumped up and stood next to Yan Mengmeng.

Jiang Chen said solemnly, "Since I entered the university, my senior sister has always taken good care of me. Now it's my turn to put in my best effort behind her back!"

Yan Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and scolded, "Pah, you little bastard! You haven't patronized my business for half a year!"

Looking at the beautiful face so close to his, Jiang Chen said seriously, "That's why I need to perform even better now!"

Yan Mengmeng looked at me with an expression that said, "I don't believe your nonsense!"

Seeing that Yan Mengmeng didn't object, Li Qing looked up at Zhao Ziyi and said, "Zhao Ziyi, why don't you sit in the back?"

"It just so happens that your spear has a relatively long attack range, and you can also summon your beast horde at crucial moments."

"Hmm." Zhao Ziyi glanced at Jiang Chen and replied indifferently.

Once the four of them were in position, the dragon-headed moray eel immediately plunged headfirst into the seawater, splashing up sprays of water.

The dragon-headed moray eel carried four people forward at high speed. After passing the underwater Great Wall of the Southern Territory, it raised its head and plunged into the seabed like an electric drill.

It was the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a skill of the dragon-headed sea eel) that it used.

This was a somewhat magical scene. A stream of spiritual energy was released from the head of the dragon-headed sea eel, spreading from the head to the tail and enveloping its entire body.

Jiang Chen and the other three sitting on his back were also enveloped by this stream of spiritual energy.

Jiang Chen focused his attention on this stream of spiritual energy and saw that the surrounding soil was automatically pushed and squeezed apart in all directions under the influence of this stream of spiritual energy.

Because there were four people riding on the back of the dragon-headed sea eel at this time, its earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) speed was not fast, about 40 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the dragon-headed sea eel did not rush forward recklessly, but slowed down from time to time, opened its mouth, and released an invisible ripple of sound.

This is another skill of the Dragon Head Moray Eel: Sound Wave.

Using this skill, the dragon-headed moray eel moved erratically, constantly changing direction to avoid various sea monsters overhead and in front of it, zigzagging its way forward.

Yan Mengmeng also summoned her pet beast, an adorable hamster with money marks all over its body.

The hamster had long whiskers. It was standing on Yan Mengmeng's shoulder, occasionally raising its head to probe the concentration of spiritual energy around it with its whiskers.

The rat and the eel kept communicating.

"Squeak!"

"Awooo!"

With the cooperation of the two beasts, the four of them, though not fast, managed to avoid almost all the sea creatures.

Whether it was the sea creature troops patrolling in the open or the sea creature sentries in the dark, the four of them slowly burrowed into the territory of the Red Skull Devil Fangfish.

This process looks easy and effortless, but if it were any other pet or beast tamer, they would have been exposed long ago!

At this time, the sea creatures and the human race were at war. The sea creatures would harass and attack the underwater Great Wall in the southern border from time to time, and the human race would also launch counterattacks from time to time, annihilating the sea creature forces.

Therefore, patrols on the seabed were very frequent and dense, with a large number of various troops, and a large number of traps were laid in some seabeds and sea areas.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, thank goodness that Senior Brother Li Qing led them on the dirt road, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago if they had taken the open waterway!

Unlike land, the ocean is vast and open with few obstructions.

In addition, given that we are currently in a state of war, the patrols of various sea creature forces are certainly very strict.

Under these circumstances, traveling by water is extremely difficult!

However, if you take the dirt road and add the money rat and the dragon head sea eel, you suddenly have a lot more room to maneuver.

……

"The pearl-raising pond we're going to destroy this time is called the 'White Tail Pond,' located in the northwest of the Red Skull Devil Fang Fish's territory. It gets its name from the fact that the area where the pearl-raising pond is located resembles a white fish tail."

Li Qing took out a top-secret document from the storage shell on the back of the dragon-headed sea eel, turned around and handed it to Yan Mengmeng, so that the three of them could read it separately.

After the three people finished reading the document, Li Qing said, "This is actually just a very small pearl-nurturing pool. It contains about 10,000 Sea Spirit Pearls, and there are probably a few mid-grade Sea Spirit Pearls as well, but not many."

Jiang Chen took the document from his hand and looked at it while listening.

The first thing you see on the document is a map, showing that the territory of the Red Skull Devil Fangfish is located in the southeastern part of Lingnan Province in the Dragon Kingdom.

The Red Skull Devil Fangfish tribe is characterized by its territory containing numerous trenches, sea fissures, and abysses!

Yes, these brutal and sinister fish like to hide in these bottomless, eerily dark abysses every day.

Living things generally prefer light, but this thing is the opposite; it absolutely loves darkness!

Numerous Red Skull Devil Fangfish have been digging deep, bottomless abysses throughout their territory, seemingly enjoying themselves immensely.

Therefore, the territory of the Red Skull Devil Fangfish is also known as the "Land of the Abyss".

White Tail Pool is located in the northwest of the Abyss Kingdom, about 500 kilometers away from the Dragon Kingdom in a straight line.

Although Baiwei Pool only possessed 1 ordinary Sea Spirit Pearls, it was still a considerable gain for Jiang Chen, Yan Mengmeng, and the other three.

1颗海灵珠1万元，1万颗那就是1亿元，4个人平分的话那也有2500万了！

This is equivalent to them killing several level four commander-level sea monsters!

As for the commander-level sea beasts, since they are commanders, they naturally have ordinary subordinates following and commanding them, so killing them is not so easy.

Moreover, the 1 Sea Spirit Pearls were roughly estimated by the scouts based on the size of the White Tail Pool.

The deeper the seawater, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy it possesses.

So if the four of them are lucky, they might be able to find a few mid-grade Sea Spirit Pearls at the bottom of the White Tail Pool!

A single mid-grade Sea Spirit Pearl is worth one million, so its value is even more considerable!

In summary, if the White Tail Pool can be successfully harvested and destroyed, the four people will reap enormous rewards!

For the Red Skull Devil Fangfish, building each pearl-raising pond is not easy, and its destruction would consume a lot of effort.

"According to intelligence, there are four commander-level sea lizards guarding the White Tail Pool, and there are also nearly a hundred sea beasts around the pool. This defensive force is not weak."

As one of the four overlords of the Southern Wilderness Sea, the Red Skull Devil Fangfish clan naturally has more than just its own group; it also has many subordinate groups!

For example, the Godzilla sea lizard in this White Tail Pond is a subspecies of the Red Skull Devil Fang Fish.

Li Qing raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen and Zhao Ziyi through his eyes, which were covered by a black cloth: "After we arrive at the White Tail Pool, the first thing we need to do is destroy the alarm array of the White Tail Pool, and then quickly kill these four commander-level sea lizards."

"I can handle two. Jiang Chen, Zhao Ziyi, you two need to each take on one Commander-level Sea Lizard. Are you two confident?"

"If you don't have it, say so immediately, and we'll exit right away!"

This mission is no child's play; if anything goes wrong, you could lose your life.

Jiang Chen naturally understood this principle and asked seriously, "I have no problem!"

Zhao Ziyi replied with the same serious expression, "I'm fine with it too!"

"I'll ask you one more time. You two are supposed to hold off a horde of sea monsters, and even a commander-level sea lizard. Do you have any problems?" Li Qing asked again in a serious tone.

"I, Jiang Chen, am perfectly fine!"

"I, Zhao Ziyi, am absolutely fine with it!"

"Alright, you two said it, so if things go wrong, you'll be held responsible!"

……

Yan Mengmeng is 1.6 meters tall, while Jiang Chen is 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a tall and imposing figure. So, Yan Mengmeng, sitting in front of Jiang Chen, looks like a small winter melon. Even with her head held high and chest out, she can only barely reach Jiang Chen's chin.

Although Yan Mengmeng was sitting in front of Jiang Chen, the two were not far apart, so when Jiang Chen looked down, he immediately saw Hong Wei's amazing scene.

Goodness, you can't see their feet at all from this angle!

A faint scent of peach blossoms wafted from Yan Mengmeng, drifting into Jiang Chen's nose and making his nostrils tingle.

Looking at the fierce little girl in front of him, Jiang Chen suddenly felt that his perspective had become narrow.

Yan Mengmeng is the daughter of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, which is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Lingnan Province, and provides countless precious cultivation resources every year.

He only managed to get 7 million from Yan Mengmeng; that's really petty of him.

Why not try harder to sleep with Yan Mengmeng? Then, he'll still be his, and Yan Mengmeng will be entirely his!

With all kinds of cultivation resources readily available, why would we need to buy them?

Jiang Chen slapped his thigh, realizing he had almost died from his own stupidity!

At this moment, Yan Mengmeng seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around. Seeing that Jiang Chen was staring at her thoughtfully, she immediately put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and angrily said, "You big bad guy, why are you staring at me? You're not planning something bad again, are you?"

"Nonsense, I only like you because you're good-looking!" Jiang Chen said calmly, his tone as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"Well……"

This unconventional move immediately stunned Yan Mengmeng, after all, her stinky junior brother Jiang Chen had been infuriating her lately!

A blush flashed across Yan Mengmeng's cute little face, but the next second she immediately snapped, "I know I'm good-looking, what's it to you?"

Jiang Chen retorted shamelessly, "What's it to you if I'm just watching my own show?"

Yan Mengmeng was so angry that she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the dragon-headed sea eel, which was normally using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of a magical technique), suddenly braked and stopped abruptly!

It stared in terror at a spot not far in front of it. The money rat, which had been helping to scout the enemy's environment, was also staring wide-eyed at the same spot, squeaking and jumping nervously.

The rat and the eel squeaked and growled, but the passengers sitting on the eel's back were not so lucky!

Li Qing was almost thrown off balance, but fortunately, he was also a body cultivator with strong physical abilities, so he managed to grab the dragon-headed sea eel's horns just as he was thrown off balance.

Zhao Ziyi was also thrown out, but he immediately grabbed the tail of the dragon-headed moray eel.

Of the four, only Jiang Chen remained seated firmly in place, without moving an inch.

Yan Mengmeng, with her plump and smooth body, was thrown into a broad and warm chest, and her slender waist was instantly held tightly by a pair of iron-like hands.

Because Yan Mengmeng had just turned around to talk to Jiang Chen, the two were now face to face, chest to chest, experiencing a loving collision.

As Yan Mengmeng recovered from the sudden braking and her chest ached from the impact, she looked up and immediately met Jiang Chenyang's handsome face.

"It's okay, I'm holding you," Jiang Chen said with a gentle smile.

In that instant, an overwhelming surge of hormones hit her, making Yan Mengmeng's heart pound wildly.

"Hmph, who wants you to carry me? Mind your own business!" Yan Mengmeng retorted defiantly.

"Oh," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, releasing Yan Mengmeng.

Having recovered from the sudden braking, Li Qing jumped off the eel's back and came to the front of the dragon-headed sea eel's car.

At this moment, less than a meter away from the front of the car, a golden thread appeared in the reddish-brown soil.

The gold threads are so fine, about the thickness of a hair, that they are barely visible unless you look closely.

A faint spiritual energy flowed over it, seemingly connecting it to the surface.

With this golden thread as a warning, Li Qing, Jiang Chen, and Zhao Ziyi found several more in the nearby soil.

Each one was extremely fine, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were also extremely small, which is why the money rat and the dragon-headed sea eel only discovered the distance so late.
