Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 165 Sea Moon Shell, Fish Plague Virus Outbreak!

In this extraordinary water world, earthquakes are not uncommon; in fact, they occur frequently.

Every super typhoon or tsunami brings an earthquake, so people are no strangers to earthquakes. On the contrary, if there is a period of time without an earthquake, people will feel uncomfortable.

The Beast Taming Corps stationed on the underwater Great Wall breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was just a simple earthquake.

Compared to simple natural disasters, the attacks of the sea creatures are clearly more frightening.

At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to sense something and looked up at the main beacon tower of the underwater Great Wall in the southern border.

At this moment, two figures stood suspended in mid-air above the main city's beacon tower.

Although the straight-line distance was quite far, several thousand meters, when Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the two figures, his heart immediately tightened and his whole body stiffened!

There was a powerful sense of fear, like a creature facing the king of beasts, that made one's breathing quicken and one's heart forget to beat!

At this moment, Lei San, Zhao Ziyi, Yan Mengmeng and the other two also sensed the figures of those two, and immediately showed the same feeling as Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked up at the two figures who resembled divine warriors and generals, and immediately recognized one of them as General Yan Chao, one of the highest commanders of the Southern Underwater Great Wall who had given him the Seven-Star Knife Fish fry!

The one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Yan Chao... the other one dressed in ordinary clothes should be Sima Yuan, another great general of the underwater Great Wall in the southern border.

At this moment, the two stared at a certain place in the direction of the Southern Wilderness Sea, murmured a few words, and then Sima Yuan slightly tapped his right foot in the void and disappeared from the spot as if he had vanished into thin air!

Jiang Chen was startled and quickly looked around at the sea and sky, but still could not see Sima Yuan.

Holy crap... that was quite a feat! Jiang Chen was both shocked and envious.

Sima Yuan disappeared, and Yan Chao landed from mid-air to inspect the defenses of the underwater Great Wall in the southern border.

At this moment, Yan Chao also seemed to sense something and noticed the five people on Jiang Chen and Lei San's side. Yan Chao's gaze seemed to soften slightly, and he nodded slightly before quickly leaving.

General Yan Chao's friendly attitude towards us must be because he received intelligence that the White Tail Pearl Breeding Pool had been destroyed... Of course, it could also be because the pet he contracted was someone else's pet's offspring.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that with this connection, it seemed he had another powerful backer he could rely on...

……

After leaving the underwater Great Wall in the southern border, the five returned to Yingtian Academy.

It has to be said that after four days, Jiang Chen was still half-paralyzed and in a state of near-death.

Yan Mengmeng's arms were still unable to move. Her wounds had barely healed under the influence of spiritual power, but they would break open if she exerted any force.

Unfortunately, the only healer in the team was seriously injured, and the others were all fighters, so the situation immediately became very awkward. They could only treat the wound with medicine first and then carry out rehabilitation treatment after returning to school.

Lei San first took Jiang Chen and Yan Mengmeng to the medical room for treatment, then took Li Qing and Zhao Ziyi to the principal to report the situation. With so many changes in this mission, they needed to discuss the details with Jiang Henian.

The medical room of Yingtian College covers a vast area of ​​over 10,000 square meters and is three stories high, resembling a small hospital.

Why build such a large hospital? Because the market demands it.

Initially, the medical room at Yingtian Academy was only open to students, since many students would get injured during their cultivation, beast taming, skill practice, or battles on the Hundred Battles Ranking.

However, as the invasion of the sea creatures in the Southern Wilderness Sea became more and more serious, the number of wounded soldiers and beast tamers on the Southern Great Wall increased to the point that it exceeded the capacity of the army hospital. As a result, a large number of soldiers were transferred to the medical room of Yingtian Academy.

In addition, some beast tamers who ventured into the Southern Wilderness Sea for exploration also needed treatment upon returning to the Dragon Kingdom.

As a result, the medical room of Yingtian Academy grew larger and larger, and eventually it was renamed Yingtian Academy Hospital.

Yingtian College Hospital generally provides free treatment for students within the school, unless it involves expensive medications or rare or difficult cases, in which case there is no charge.

Military personnel receive treatment at cost price, which is reimbursed by a special national fund.

Social beast tamers, on the other hand, are required to pay the full amount.

In a hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant, a young female medical beast tamer wearing a white coat and a mask is treating Jiang Chen and Yan Mengmeng.

A magnificent summoning circle appeared behind her, and a seashell the size of a washbasin emerged.

The shell resembled the moon, with its upper and lower lobes nearly perfectly round. Its surface was covered with growth lines, like mountains on the moon.

The shell is moon-white, thin and flat, so thin that light can pass through it, and so thin that the edges seem to break at the slightest touch. The entire shell exudes a bright and warm aura, as if the whole room is bathed in sunlight.

"Senior Sister Fang Ruidan's [Sea Moon Shell] is getting more and more beautiful, and her cultivation level is getting higher and higher." Yan Mengmeng seemed to know this female doctor and greeted her familiarly as soon as they met.

"Thank you for the compliment." The female doctor named Fang Ruidan narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, indicating that the two indeed had a good relationship.

"Ladies first, may I treat Mengmeng first?" the female doctor said to Jiang Chen.

"No problem, Senior Sister Fang, please go ahead." Jiang Chen naturally agreed.

"OK."

The female doctor first unwrapped the gauze from Yan Mengmeng's arms, disinfected the wounds, removed the necrotic tissue, and then activated the [Sea Moon Shell].

As the spiritual energy circulated, the [Sea Moon Shell] rose up like a bright moon, hovering over Yan Mengmeng's arms. Soft, moonlight-like rays shone down from the Sea Moon Shell, illuminating the two bloody holes on Yan Mengmeng's arms.

Illuminated by the light of the [Sea Moon Shell], the two hideous, ugly, and bloody wounds immediately began to sprout a large number of granulation tissues, which quickly wriggled and intertwined, generating new flesh, nerves, and other tissues.

[Race] Moon Shell

[Level] Late Commander

[Bloodline] Late-stage General

[Skills] Moonlit Suspension, Moonblade Slash, Moonlit Descent

Jiang Chen looked at the Sea Moon Shell in front of him with curiosity. The Sea Moon Shell is a dual-type pet beast that belongs to both the spirit and light elements.

Because this pet's light is a soft glow similar to moonlight, the Sea Moon Shell's healing effect is very gentle and almost painless!

Other light-type pets/sea beasts also possess healing skills, such as Jiang Chen's Turritopsis dohrnii, but the healing process inevitably causes itching and pain in the wounds, making one want to scratch them uncontrollably.

However, the moon clam is different. Its healing effect is very warm and gentle, with almost no pain, and it will not leave any aftereffects.

Therefore, the moon shell is a blessing for all beast tamers who are afraid of pain.

At the same time, the Sea Moon Shell's healing skills consume very little spiritual energy, allowing for prolonged combat and healing, which is a boon for many medical-type beast tamers.

However, there are some drawbacks, namely that the treatment speed is relatively slow.

Jiang Chen looked at the moon clam in front of him and found it rather interesting. Because in the previous generation's world, the moon clam was also very famous.

Especially in ancient times, seashells, bright as the moon, were often inlaid on windows, so the sunlight shining into the room was filtered by the sea and became very soft.

No matter how scorching the sunlight is outside, after being filtered by the moon shell, it becomes a soft, dim yellow light, turning everything inside into a faded photograph.

Therefore, the moon shell is also known as the window shell or mirror shell.

In his essay "The Covered Boat," the modern writer Zhou Zuoren (Lu Xun's younger brother) wrote: "Between the two fixed awnings is a sunshade, also semi-circular, made of wood with latticework inlaid with small fish scales, about an inch in diameter, somewhat transparent, slightly like glass but tough and durable; this is called a 'sunshade'."

These "small fish scales" are the shell of the moon.

"What mission did you go on? How did you get so badly injured?" Fang Ruidan asked, frowning as she looked at the two penetrating wounds on Yan Mengmeng's arm, while using the Sea Moon Shell to heal her.

Fang Ruidan knew that Yan Mengmeng's pets were all auxiliary beast tamers, so people like Yan Mengmeng usually stayed at the back.

Even those hiding at the very back could get injured, which shows how dangerous this mission was!

Upon hearing this, Yan Mengmeng's pair of bright, watery peach blossom eyes subconsciously looked at Jiang Chen, her pupils flashing as if she had made a connection to something.

Yan Mengmeng sighed and shook her head: "Bad luck, we were ambushed by the enemy, but thankfully we escaped unharmed in the end."

Senior Sister Fang noticed Yan Mengmeng's gaze and looked at Jiang Chen as well, asking curiously, "Are you two on a mission together?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen.

"Looks like you two are having a really bad time!" Fang Ruidan sighed, feeling a deep sympathy for Yan Mengmeng's plight.

As a support-type Beastmaster, what I hate most are those enemies who like to ambush from the bushes and attack the backline. I hate them so much and find them incredibly annoying!

Twenty minutes later, as the moonlight shone down, the flesh inside Yan Mengmeng's two blood holes grew back completely, leaving no trace of the previous injuries.

"As expected of Senior Sister Fang, the treatment effect is flawless!" Yan Mengmeng moved her arms on the hospital bed and found that apart from the wound being a little sore, there were no other problems. She was overjoyed.

Fang Ruidan smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and turned to treat Jiang Chen.

As usual, Fang Ruidan first examined Jiang Chen's body. Upon inspection, she was shocked: "My God, who did you fight? Your blood vessels are practically bursting, and even your meridians are ruptured!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I fought a sea creature that was in the late stage of its leadership."

If it weren't for Jian Qingqiu's final [Life Teleport] skill, Jiang Chen would probably be dead by now.

Unfortunately, the energy of Jian Qingqiu's clone was not enough at the time, so Jiang Chen did not fully recover.

"You guys who practice body refinement are all monsters!" Fang Ruidan's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Chen with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. Through her examination just now, she could see the traces of body refinement on Jiang Chen's body.

"He actually won against a late-stage Commander, even though he was at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm! That's insane!" Fang Ruidan shook her head and sighed, summoning the Moon Shell to send down moonlight to heal Jiang Chen.

However, at this moment, Yan Mengmeng slowly added, "It is indeed a late-stage Commander, but a late-stage Commander with a Level 6 Overlord bloodline."

"Huh???" Fang Ruidan's body trembled. The Sea Moon Shell, which was about to cast a spell to bring down the moonlight, broke down and the spell failed!

……

When Fang Ruidan was treating Jiang Chen, a male doctor suddenly walked in from outside, holding a notification letter in his hand, with a serious expression.

"Senior Sister Fang, urgent notification! The fish plague [Black Death] has broken out on a large scale again in other sea areas!"

"The official notice came down today: starting today, all patients must undergo a fish plague (Black Death) test before admission, and we must wear masks 24 hours a day!"

(The real-life moon clam is called the moon clam, but I didn't like the name, so I changed it. Here's a picture.)

(And the fish plague wasn't just something I wrote randomly; it's foreshadowing the ancient underwater city to come. Please be gentle with your criticism... There should be another chapter later...)
