Beast Taming: the More the Better - Chapter 692 - 311: The Flood in the Eastern Sea! The Tentacles of Biyao Chunshen!_2

Chapter 692: Chapter 311: The Flood in the Eastern Sea! The Tentacles of Biyao Chunshen!_2

As for Monarch Levels and below, their energy signatures are relatively weak and can’t be detected across large areas, so we need to deploy Legions for a thorough investigation.”

“What about the Eastern Sea coastline?”

“According to underwater satellite monitoring, within about a thirty-kilometer range along the coast of Jianghai Province, there are energy traces of over a hundred Emperor Level aquatic Ferocious Beasts. Spirit Saint Level aquatic Ferocious Beasts have not been detected so far. Also, the main concentration of the aquatic Ferocious Beast disaster is in Jianghai Province; the coastal areas of other provinces have less than one-tenth of the Ferocious Beasts found in Jianghai’s affected range.”

The youth, childlike in appearance, nodded slightly, then yawned. He looked toward the Eastern Sea entrance, which seemed calm on the surface but was actually hiding surging undercurrents, feeling somewhat helpless.

A hundred Emperor Level Ferocious Beasts… that number was already staggering.

Even though no Spirit Saint Level activity was detected, it was only right that all the port cities along the Eastern Sea coast initiate the highest level of preparedness.

It was then, after Ray Saint had finally finished speaking with the underwater fortress—an aquatic Mechanical Pet Beast with a formidable reputation even in Dragon Nation—that the figure standing behind him finally spoke:

“Lord Ray Saint, what exactly is going on with this aquatic Ferocious Beast uprising?”

The childlike youth turned his head, a helpless expression on his face. “Dragon City doesn’t know much either. The higher-ups have already communicated with Snake Nation, but there has been no response so far!”

Snake Nation, a Pet Beast nation located deep in the Eastern Sea, near the Endless Sea Domain and close to Dragon Nation, has always had a very close relationship with Dragon Country. It could even be considered a subsidiary of sorts.

For many years in the Eastern Sea, except for the Sakura Country—which, being Japan, has been continuously causing trouble at the Beast Tamer level—the disaster of aquatic Ferocious Beast tides has not occurred for a long time.

The men looked at each other, somewhat taken aback.

However, Ray Saint turned his head, frowning slightly.

In fact, he hadn’t quite told the truth to these leaders of the Beast Tamer Legions stationed in the Eastern Sea.

Snake Nation indeed didn’t know what exactly was going on. However, it wasn’t that Snake Nation hadn’t replied; they had sent a message at the first opportunity. The Endless Sea Domain also had no information on this current aquatic Ferocious Beast uprising.

Of course, Pet Beast territories, unlike human nations, cannot manage every single detail. In the lands of the Ferocious Beasts, even Senior Fierce Beasts could not completely control all the other Ferocious Beasts within their territories. After all, many lower-level Ferocious Beasts, even those with intelligence, acted on instinct!

Moreover, the areas in the sea were simply too vast, much vaster than the land. No one could know how many Ferocious Beasts there were in the sea.

Therefore, it remained unknown why these Ferocious Beasts at the border of the Eastern Sea suddenly headed toward Dragon Nation, especially in Jianghai Province. Even the Endless Sea Domain didn’t understand why.

Of course, whether they truly did not know or were hiding something, Ray Saint was unsure.

“By the way, how is the interrogation of those captured Ferocious Beasts going?” Ray Saint glanced at them and asked.

“Reporting to Lord Ray Saint. We were unable to interrogate the captured Monarch-level Vicious Beasts as they couldn’t communicate. All have been killed, and their souls partially searched. The captured Emperor Level ’Canghai Fury Shark King’ couldn’t provide a specific reason during its interrogation. It seemed to have been bewitched and was unclear why it attacked human territories. The Soul Search results also yielded little of value.”

“Bewitched? Or a large-scale aquatic group? And such a number of Emperor Level Ferocious Beasts at that?”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the childlike Ray Saint. Is someone trying to stir up trouble and make work for me?

However, he quickly returned to his usual demeanor. “Alright. Keep up the patrols. As long as they don’t come ashore and form a Beast Tide, there’s no need for excessive concern. Focus on guarding the mouth of West Dragon Lake and the various ports; the lives of our warriors are paramount! I will go and see what’s really going on.”

“Yes!”

All of them responded, but they also knew that this meant Lord Ray Saint was finally going to take action himself!

「…」

Su Ping didn’t know much about the troubles in the Eastern Sea. However, as far as he was concerned, as long as it didn’t affect his own territory, it didn’t matter. If the sky fell, taller people would hold it up; it wasn’t his turn to worry yet.

What he needed to be concerned about now were mainly his own Pet Beasts.

He had already called Dong Muyun. The Mirror of Reflecting Heavens from the Dong Family was ready, and in about two hours, Dong Muyun along with the Dong Family’s spokesperson would arrive!

And Su Ping had finally begun to take action!

This was in a room within the medical facility. A life-signs monitoring device was aimed at Xiao Qing.

And at this moment, the only one observing from outside, aside from Su Ping, was the Biyao Chunshen, whose body resembled a flame, half-corporeal and half-ethereal.

The Biyao Chunshen was very concerned about Xiao Qing, who shared a similar aura. Even so, it was quite puzzled by Su Ping’s so-called cultivation and evolution methods.

If it weren’t for its understanding of human Beast Tamers, Biyao Chunshen would even be doubting what exactly Su Ping was planning to do. It knew that Beast Tamers form a Soul Contract with their Contracted Beasts; if one party encountered an issue, the other would also definitely suffer. Therefore, Su Ping had no reason to harm Xiao Qing.

At this very moment, Xiao Qing’s breathing was extremely feeble. Its life signs were in a very delicate, near-death state. This state of near-death was certainly not caused by combat; that would be too difficult to control. This was a cultivation method refined during the previous evolutionary optimization of the Elf Wolf, utilizing resources from the Necromancy Series and of the Death Attribute.

It’s just that Xiao Qing’s Level and Realm were higher, so it naturally consumed more.

Even Su Ping couldn’t guarantee it was foolproof!

Therefore, Life Series resource injections were also always ready on the side.

Finally, under Su Ping’s tense gaze, Xiao Qing’s near-death state stabilized and no longer fluctuated. Su Ping’s heart also rose to his throat.

“Xiao Qing, consume the Advanced Level Soul Fragment!”

Xiao Qing weakly opened its eyes and saw the translucent, fingernail-sized fragment a mechanical arm brought to its mouth. Without a second thought, it swallowed it.

Instantly, a strange, transparent glow lit up on Xiao Qing’s body. The next moment, its life signs began to flicker again, but this time, they quickly stabilized.

Then, one after another, the Monarch Level Slime Core and the Breeding Spores were swallowed by Xiao Qing.

Calmness. This time, Xiao Qing’s state finally entered complete tranquility.

After that, an indescribable throbbing sensation and a muffled heartbeat, audible even outside the medical room, began to sound in succession.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Qing’s body seemed to gradually become transparent. And the near-death state it had previously entered gradually recovered.

Although Su Ping had anticipated this, when it reached this step, he still heaved a great sigh of relief.

For him and Xiao Qing, this step itself was the most dangerous!

Next, Xiao Qing’s evolution would be relatively simple. Evolution and the cultivation of ’External Incarnation’, a lost Super-Rank Skill, were inherently complementary. However, no one knew what the final outcome would be, including Su Ping.

But for Xiao Qing, if the energy had been sufficient, it could have evolved back when it was in Beiyuan. And now, having completed the initial cultivation of the External Incarnation, it was finally ready to truly evolve.

The Natural Essence his father had given him and the Poison Type Emperor Level resources Su Ping had previously redeemed were taken into his hands and passed to Xiao Qing within the medical room.

“Xiao Qing, absorb the energy! Accumulate enough to evolve!”

“AWOO!”

Xiao Qing seemed to understand what this moment meant for it.

However, at this moment, the Biyao Chunshen’s body undulated, and it produced something. It was a golden box. The box slowly opened, revealing an item inside.

It was none other than the very rootlet it had given Su Ping from its own body previously. An extremely fine rootlet, only slightly thicker than a strand of hair.

But it left Su Ping slightly stunned. Looking at Xiao Qing, which was gathering energy to enter an evolutionary state, his heart was greatly stirred for a moment!

Should he add this?

An evolution incorporating a Legendary Level resource?
