After a great deal of effort, the Seedling Turtle and the Bee Empress finally managed to defeat the zombies that had surrounded them.
These zombies have a very low average level. In a one-on-one fight, they would be instantly killed by Seedling Turtle or Bee Empress.
However, when they clustered together, it became the turtles and bees that proved to be the most troublesome.
After a fierce battle, a dozen or so fish managed to escape and almost board the ship.
To be precise, three successfully boarded the ship.
Eleven of them were eliminated in July just as they were about to board the ship.
It's fair to say that none of the pets performed admirably in this battle, except for the Ink Fish, which acted as Cheerleading Squad and served as a proper spectator, staring wide-eyed as everyone fought the zombies.
Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian conducted an analysis after the battle began.
"Seedling Turtle are still a bit lacking in underwater combat ability; the power of vines is much less in water than on land," Shi Qianqian said.
"If it can learn water-based abilities, it will significantly reduce underwater resistance. When we get back, we should give it more Water Element Enhancement injections."
Luo Yu, on the other hand, felt that the Bee Empress lacked some ranged attack methods.
While the Knight Bee Knight Bee, if included, represent its ranged attack method, if each Knight Bee Knight Bee is considered an individual, it lacks ranged attack capabilities. Facing a group of opponents, it would have to defeat them one by one, which is too inefficient.
"When we get back, we need to develop a ranged ability for the Bee Empress and the Knight Bee."
In July, although its five senses were very Keen Senses, it did not immediately spot the fish that had slipped through the net. Firstly, it was on a boat, which obstructed its view, preventing it from seeing what was happening below the boat and in the water.
Secondly, the sounds of waves, wind, and battle also interfered with its hearing, preventing it from detecting any stragglers immediately.
While the Five Senses Enhancement Needle is good, July's perception level is still a bit inferior to those mutated beasts that truly possess sensory abilities and talents.
However, July is easy to solve. Once it evolves, its various attributes will be enhanced, and its perception ability will also improve. Luo Yu plans to see how things go then.
"So dirty!"
However, the most crucial issue now is the three who boarded the ship and were dealt with on board, the ones who managed to escape.
Although Luo Yu dealt with them in time, their rotting blood and flesh still made the deck a mess, and Shi Qianqian wanted to slip away after Shi Qianqian one glance.
"You clean up," Luo Yu said, grabbing her arm.
"It's me again? I still have to sail the boat!" Shi Qianqian shocked; this man had no gentlemanly manners at all.
"Alright, let the Ink Fish handle it then. After all, it didn't do anything." Luo Yu sighed. It seemed Chen Bo's role was still irreplaceable. If his Thunderbolt Shrimp were also there, given the Thunderbolt Shrimp's Cleanliness Obsession nature, the deck would probably have been cleaned up before the battle was even over.
As the two were cleaning up the mess and collecting the floating zombie sea monster cores, suddenly, the seawater in the distance surged, as if a giant submarine was about to emerge from the deep sea.
The waves crashed against the Frost Moon, making it rock and sway.
That is—
Shi Qianqian and Luo Yu stood firm and looked around, when suddenly they discovered that a giant crocodile, tens of meters long, had emerged from the water!
Guardian deity, the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile?
Logically, the guardian spirit should always be protecting from the shadows, so why did it suddenly appear?
Soon, they understood what was happening. As the guardian spirit emerged, a small boat and the sea serpent pulling it suddenly appeared on its back.
On the small boat, a thin young man and a burly man looked around in surprise.
"Brother, what's this? Why is our boat flying?"
"How incredibly stupid! It didn't fly away, our ship was lifted up by a giant sea monster!" the gaunt young man exclaimed in panic.
As for the Concealment Snake pulling the boat, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, its color kept changing, and it became somewhat out of control.
Gurgle.
Upon reaching the side of the boat, the two men met the eyes of the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, swallowed hard, and stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.
Good heavens, where did this giant crocodile come from!
"These two people approached you with hostility, they must be plotting something," the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile said to Luo Yu.
After saying that----
Boom!
A powerful pressure materialized, like the sky collapsing, and pressed down on the back of the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile. The small boat the two were riding on instantly fell apart, and they were pressed into the ruins, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"Come here." The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile looked at Luo Yu Luo Yu, intending to train him and have Luo Yu deal with the two.
[No, kill!]
The skinny young man was filled with regret. Why did he have to listen to such stupid words and try to steal the time to pet the beasts? They were thieves, not pirates!
[I know the location of the super treasure]
He seemed to be a Beast Taming with Mental Talent, using his spiritual power to convey as much information as possible to the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile in order to save its life.
[Abyss Core ----]
[Sky Tree Fruit ----]
[The Little Mermaid's Tears----]
At this moment, Luo Yu and his companion had already maneuvered the boat to approach.
"Hmm?" the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Guardian?" Luo Yu asked, glancing at the two of them. He thought to himself, "Damn it, the sea is indeed dangerous. We've only been out for a day, and we've already been targeted by bad guys."
"These two pirates," he said, "know the location of a super treasure, including the Abyss Core, the Sky Tree Fruit —the mermaid's tears—" He lessened the oppressive aura somewhat as he spoke to Luo Yu and the other man.
"It's definitely a lie, Guardian God, don't believe it. They're just afraid of dying, so they'll eat them!" Shi Qianqian shouted.
"This god does not eat people," the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile said. After all, it was a crocodile raised by humans, and humans were not on its diet.
[The legendary thief Luo Zhi was my ancestor.]
"We're not pirates, we're thieves," the skinny young man said.
"He said—" the guardian continued.
Luo Zhi?
I've heard of this notorious thief, Luo Yu. He frequently operates overseas, stealing all sorts of treasures, and has a very high bounty on his head.
Not to mention Luo Yu, even the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile had heard of Luo Zhi; he was very famous when the Mirror Moon Crocodile was active.
Known as the "legendary thief," it is said that there was nothing he couldn't steal. He was a Beast Taming skilled in spatial manipulation and had even ventured into the Sea of Void —though he ultimately failed. After his death, no one knows where he hid the treasures he had stolen in his lifetime.
The words "Abyss Core" were very attractive to the guardian deity.
After all, once you reach level 40 or above, it's extremely difficult to level up normally, and above level 60, it's even more difficult. The Abyss Core is one of the few things that can help creatures above level 60 level increase their level and maintain their vitality.
"Sky Tree Fruit ----" At the same time, Luo Yu was also attracted by one of the names.
Sky Tree Fruit is the fruit of the Sky Tree, a sacred tree worshipped at the Sky Tower, an overseas gathering place. It is said to help Beast Taming open up new Beast-Taming Space.
Luo Yu had seen a record of this in a book when he was looking for a way to increase the number of Contract Slot.
"With this fruit, we can directly form a contract with the baby orca."
Luo Yu was momentarily tempted by the treasure the other party mentioned, but the Empress quickly forced him to calm down, realizing it was a trap.
If the treasure were easy to obtain, and the other party were truly a descendant of the legendary thief Luo Zhi, wouldn't they have taken it long ago?
There are two possibilities: one is that the other person is lying to save their own life.
The second location is where the treasure is kept, which is extremely dangerous. Apart from Luo Zhi himself, a master of spatial manipulation, it would be very difficult for anyone else to enter. Even if later generations knew the location of the treasure, they would still be powerless to get in.
"Never mind----" Luo Yu remained unmoved.
Even if he does win the Abyss Trial, and does need a Contract Slot, the Sky Tree Fruit in this treasure is definitely not his first choice.
Luo Yu had already considered it. If he could truly win the trial championship, the gene serum from Canglan Ocean University would be the most suitable.
My own.
Once the Abyss Trial are over, it will be time for Canglan Ocean University to begin its admissions process. Outstanding graduates of Canglan Ocean University will be able to obtain Gene Evolution Potion and open up new Beast-Taming Space.
As long as you have the ability to win the Abyss Trial, becoming an outstanding graduate of the Combat Department of Canglan Ocean University is basically a piece of cake. Most of the past Abyss Trial champions have gained an additional Contract Slot through this route.
In addition, Luo Yu can also choose the research department----
If you apply directly to the graduate program, the graduation standard for the graduate program is that you only need one research achievement recognized by the department. In other words, Luo Yu can graduate instantly as soon as he joins. As long as his research results are amazing, he can immediately become an outstanding graduate and even stay at the university to teach, and it will be easy for him to teach professional courses.
Therefore, obtaining a Contract Slot through Azure Billows University is not difficult at all. Graduation requirements for some less popular majors are probably even more lenient. On the contrary, the "treasure" mentioned by the other party carries too much unknown risk.
Click click click----
The guardian deity unleashed the power of frost, freezing the two people into ice sculptures.
Luo Yu, due to his weak strength, dared not be tempted, but the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile was. It said, "It's still worth taking it back for interrogation. If it's true, there must be many treasures. Just one Abyss Core is enough to buy an entire Mirror Moon Island, not to mention there might be more than one."
The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile suddenly looked at Shi Qianqian and said, "This is bad, the people from the outer islands have also heard the information about the treasure."
Regarding the treasure of the legendary pirate Luo Zhi, the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile intends to keep it all for himself. Luo Yu is one of his own, but Shi Qianqian is not.
"Huh???" Shi Qianqian shook her head violently and said, "It has nothing to do with me, boss. I'm a very tight-lipped person, and I don't want to know anything at all. You told me about the treasure yourself. If you didn't want me to know, you could have just communicated with Luo Yu telepathically. Why did you have to tell me?"
Shi Qianqian was speechless, feeling that the guardian deity of Mirror Moon Island didn't seem very smart.
That's normal, though. Even though the intelligence of the creatures in the Abyss Species is no less than that of adult humans, their way of thinking is still somewhat abstract.
"I told you?" The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile was taken aback. It seemed that was the case. He had revealed what the treasure contained and the identity of the other party.
After being attacked by a pair of powerful and talented individuals, Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian resumed their voyage. Indeed, they were a pair of powerful and talented individuals who had actually attacked a ship protected by a High-Tier King Level Beast Taming tamer and Abyss Species.
As a result, he didn't get the items and ended up getting himself into trouble.
In the evening, Luo Yu received a call from Qian Lai, who said that he and the Seven Stars Merchant Caravan would be setting off soon to Mirror Moon Island to inspect the goods, and asked Luo Yu to prepare the items.
"The goods are guaranteed authentic, just bring enough money," Luo Yu replied.
