Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 182 Captain Long, from today onwards I am yours!

Jiang Chen quickly realized that it wasn't that the commander-level skeleton cavalry were too weak, but rather that the Ironclad Dragon Shark Squad was too strong!

At this moment, every member of the Ironclad Dragon Shark Squad in front of them had reached the mid-to-late stage of the fourth-level commander level.

Captain Long Shijie's pet beast cultivation has reached the peak of the commander level, and he is almost about to advance to the level of a fifth-level general!

Although the skeleton cavalry in front of us are all commander-level, their strength is generally only at the early stage of commander level!

Moreover, the Ironclad Dragon Shark's bloodline is at least at the level of a fifth-grade general, while Long Shijie's is even at the level of a sixth-grade overlord, completely suppressing the enemy in terms of level and bloodline.

The combination of level suppression, bloodline suppression, and the combined attack of the fourteen people resulted in a qualitative change in power, which pierced through the Skeleton Cavalry regiment in one fell swoop.

This demonstrates the power of combined military skills and the significance of a nation's continuous large-scale training and cultivation of pet beast legions of the same species.

When they come together to unleash a combo attack, its power can increase by one or two levels!

For example, the Ironclad Dragon Shark Squad's "Ironclad Charge" – although they are all only commander-level, when they are combined, they can easily take on a level 5 general-level sea monster head-on.

If the quality isn't good enough, make up for it with quantity!

From its appearance, the Ironclad Dragon Shark looks like a great white shark with a dragon's head, and its body is covered with hard scales the size of basketballs.

It possesses both the terrifying speed and streamlined body of a great white shark in the water, and the formidable power and defense of a dragon—it's perfect!

At this moment, the armored dragon shark, which was a hundred meters long, pierced through the Skeleton Knights with its unparalleled power. After its powerful tail fin thrashed in the seawater, it roared and turned around, accelerating again towards the Skeleton Knights!

After several such charges, the once mighty and imposing hundred skeleton knights were instantly scattered and broken into a pile of bone fragments, never to be able to regroup!

A large number of skeleton knights turned into shattered skeletons, scattered on the seabed, wailing hoarsely!

However, these skeleton knights were not dead yet!

The green flames within their skulls still flickered stubbornly, releasing spiritual energy. A large number of broken bones seemed to be summoned, struggling to slowly reassemble themselves.

This is the characteristic of the Necromancer class.

As long as the "necromantic fire" within a necromancer's body is not extinguished, its body can be reassembled and "resurrected".

This "immortality" seems to have been obtained in exchange for necromancy-like intelligence.

Yes, generally, once a sea beast advances to the fourth level of commander, intelligence will gradually develop in its mind.

However, it is extremely difficult for necromancy to develop sentience. One must cultivate to at least level seven and become an emperor before sentience can be developed. The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

"Snap!"

"Pfft!"

Seeing that the skeleton knights were trying to resurrect together, the 100-meter Ironclad Dragon Shark immediately turned around and charged again, this time focusing its attack on the heads of the skeleton knights, crushing their skulls and extinguishing the necromantic fire in their eye sockets.

At this point, the outcome of the entire battle was no longer in doubt.

The Ironclad Dragon Shark shattered the Skeleton Knights head-on, while the Ghostfish Squad used mental attacks to annihilate the skeleton soldiers.

And the skeleton archers standing on the city walls had fallen silent at some point.

It turned out that while the skeleton archers were busy attacking below, Lei San, Yu Sheng, and Yu Ning had somehow managed to sneak onto the city wall.

Despite being at the same commander level, these skeleton archers were no match for the three of them. They were killed instantly, like chickens being slaughtered!

Thus, the entire battle came to a perfect end!

Of the fifty-strong team, only a few members were caught off guard and wounded by the skeleton archers; otherwise, there were no casualties.

Even the injured people recovered quickly under Hai Puying's treatment!

Jiang Chen witnessed the entire battle and felt a surge of shock and exhilaration!

The entire battle may seem lengthy, but from the moment Skeleton Knight launched his charge to the Ironclad Dragon Shark Squad's counterattack, the whole process took less than 5 minutes.

In those 5 minutes, 100 commander-level knights were killed, 100 commander-level skeleton archers were killed, and nearly 700 to 800 skeleton soldiers were killed!

Thousands of necromancy-type beings perished silently in battle, dying on the spot.

This team is incredibly strong!

……

After quickly eliminating the enemy, the group kept watch in all directions while rapidly cleaning up the battlefield.

"This is a dark crystal!"

Brushing aside the pale white dregs, Jiang Chen immediately discovered a beautiful stone about the size of a pebble, hexagonal in shape, shimmering with a black, crystalline light!

The moment Jiang Chen touched the black stone, a cool sensation immediately spread from his fingertips.

It's not the kind of coldness you get from ice, but a coldness that penetrates deep into the spirit and soul—this is the power of the necromancy school!

Picking up the dark crystal, Jiang Chen looked around and saw that the others had also found dark crystals among the fragments of other fallen skeletons!

"This secret realm is truly a treasure trove!"

Even Jiang Chen, a man who was once worth hundreds of millions, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw the dark crystals scattered all over the ground!

Dark Crystal is a precious evolution material belonging to the Necromancer type.

All necromancer-type pets and sea beasts require Dark Crystals for evolution. This is a rare and precious material that can quickly enhance and concentrate spiritual power.

Dark Crystals are not produced in large quantities; they are only found in areas with a large number of undead.

If Jiang Chen remembered correctly, a dark crystal stone costs around 10 in the outside world!

At this moment, there are nearly a thousand skeletons here, which represent 1000 dark crystals, or a total value of 1 million!

Moreover, this is just the price of ordinary dark crystals. Jiang Chen could see that among the commander-level skeleton archers and skeleton cavalry, the dark crystals on them were larger and of higher quality!

The price could increase several times over!

In other words, they made two or three hundred million from that battle that lasted less than five minutes!

This is faster than robbing a bank!

They haven't officially entered the secret realm yet; they're only outside of it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's eyes immediately turned red!

The three beasts' strength increased dramatically during the last seclusion, but the 7 million yuan they earned from Yan Mengmeng was completely exhausted. At this moment, Jiang Chen was penniless, with less than one million yuan left.

Clearly, whether we get to eat meat or drink soup next depends entirely on this hidden gem of Qingyu Ancient City!

As Jiang Chen's cultivation level continued to improve and the number of his pets increased, he became increasingly unable to stop his pursuit of making money.

For example, his three pet beasts, Xiao Jiu, Chu Yun, and Xiao Kuang, each require at least tens of thousands of yuan in basic training expenses each month.

This includes the marine mammal meat they eat every day, various nutritional supplements, and other miscellaneous items.

However, if one wants to cultivate, advance in rank, or purchase various precious evolution materials, then spending over a million a month is easily achievable.

The battlefield was quickly cleared up. When all one thousand dark crystals gathered on the ground, they immediately formed a small mound, its black and crystalline light exuding a magnificent black texture.

After discussing with Lei San, Zhang Shanfeng, and the others, Long Shijie quickly distributed the spoils in front of everyone. Of the one thousand dark crystals, Long Shijie fairly, justly, and openly gave each person 20.

Even Jiang Chen and Chen Shou, who did not participate, received 20 Dark Crystals.

Jiang Chen felt the 20 dark crystals in his hand were burning hot, and Chen Shou next to him also looked somewhat uneasy, feeling unworthy of them.

Jiang Chen looked longingly at the beautiful black gemstone in his hand, but still stepped forward and loudly said to Long Shijie, "Captain Long, I can't take this Dark Crystal!"

"What's wrong?"

Having just distributed the spoils, a middle-aged man in camouflage military uniform, with a square face, upright posture, and a dignified and decisive demeanor, turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't contribute anything, so I can't take this spoils," Jiang Chen said.

"So, what do you think makes you qualified to receive this spoils of war?"

Long Shijie did not answer; his originally stern face now showed a friendly smile as he looked at Jiang Chen.

"I wasn't fighting just now..."

"Does that mean you have to rush up and fight the enemy to the death, even if you're covered in blood and seriously injured, before you're qualified to take this spoil of war?" Long Shijie retorted.

This rhetorical question stumped Jiang Chen.

Long Shijie smiled and said, "We are a team, and everyone in the team has their place. The abilities of each pet are also invaluable."

"For example, in the battle just now, Captain Zhang Shanfeng was responsible for defense, Lian Wei was responsible for detection and mental attacks, and Wu Yao was responsible for healing."

"So, according to what you just said, Wu Yao and the others only received treatment afterward and didn't directly participate in the battle, so shouldn't they be entitled to a share of the spoils?"

"No, everyone in the team has their own position and abilities."

"As long as everyone can play their part and not drag the team down, then they are entitled to share the spoils."

"Instead of strictly demanding that he rush in to do this or that, that's not only short-sighted but also foolish."

"Besides, didn't you already play your role?"

"If it weren't for your Three-Tailed Fishing Cat, we would have been besieged by a large skeleton army the moment we entered the city gate. I'm sure that although we would still have won in the end, it would have taken much more effort."

"Moreover, because we were besieged under the city walls, we would definitely have lost several brothers and sisters, instead of everyone standing here, chatting with each other, and still unharmed."

"So this spoils of war truly belong to you."

Long Shijie's words stunned Jiang Chen, and his eyes widened slightly!

Holy crap, Brother Long... what you just said means that from now on, I'm yours!

At this moment, the others around watched this scene quietly. Zhang Shanfeng, Lian Wei and others had a slight smile on their lips. It was because of Long Shijie's sense of righteousness and leadership that they admired him as their opponent.

Lei San nodded slightly.
