Breaking free from its Petrification state, the Poison Devil Beast erupted in fury.
To appease it, Luo Yu quickly took out a Doctor's Pill and put it in his mouth.
"Don't be angry, Squidward. I was just kidding. I've come to have you as my sparring partner. After we're done, I'll prepare a whole roasted lamb for you."
"Roar!!" The Poison Water Devil Beast turned red, hoping that Luo Yu would keep his word.
"I've got it figured out." Luo Yu chuckled, opening the Ice Prison from the outside, intending to use it to further experiment with the Rock Devil Beast's other abilities...
Now, there are only three abilities left to test...
Moving Mineral Vein talent!
Absolute Control and effortless Shapeshifting at Will!
And, Fishing Tackle Mastery!
The last two were tested first.
After Luo Yu gave July a look, July's heart pounded with excitement and its hands trembled. Finally, it was July's turn. It quickly looked at the Water Devil Beast Water Devil Beast, which turned into ink and tumbled in the air for a moment before quickly shaping itself into a mini fishing rod. "Whoosh!" July raised the ink-colored mini fishing rod high.
This fishing rod, transformed from Water Devil Beast, has a body like black stone and is paired with an exquisite miniature fishing reel. The reel disc has clear patterns and holds the fine fishing line, making it indistinguishable from a normal fishing rod. However, Luo Yu felt that it didn't seem to make much sense.
As soon as July cast her line, the Water Devil Beast fishing rod turned out to be fully automatic. The Rock Water Devil Beast was very sensible and automatically started looking for prey, automatically controlling the fishing line and hook to go towards the Poison Devil Beast, hooking itself onto the Water Devil Beast. The angler had nothing to do with it at all.
Poison Water Devil Beast:?
July:?
"Amazing! "July's eyes lit up. The fishing rod even had a self-targeting function.
"Gurgle!" However, although the Rock Water Devil Beast cooperated perfectly, July still gave it a serious reprimand.
You're going to ruin my fishing skills!
It can no longer experience the joy of fishing!
In July, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and absorbed the rich fishing experience in her mind.
Because of its Accumulation talent, all the fishing skills it had mastered before its evolution have been transformed into Fishing Technique. Even if the Rock Water Devil Beast isn't as sensible, July is confident that it can use the fishing rod to perfection.
It reeled in its fishing line, looked up at the ice platform above, flicked its rod, and the line shot off. The hook caught on the ice platform railing, and with a slight effort, the penguin leaped up, landing on the platform and looking down at the Poison Water Devil Beast. "Roar!!"
The next moment, the Poison Water Devil Beast's eyes turned red, and it spat out a poison arrow, aiming precisely at July. Just then, a spark flashed in July's eyes, and she raised her spear and thrust forward!
Whoosh!
The fishing line shot out like a ray, the hook thrust forward with force, and accurately struck the poison arrow. With a bang, it shattered the poison arrow, and the hook gleamed in the poisonous mist.
That wasn't all. With a flick of her wrist, July caused the rod tip to sway, the fishing reel to spin rapidly, and the fishing line to snake like a long snake. Under the bewildered gaze of the Poison Devil Beast, the fishing line quickly Entanglement one of its tentacles.
Reel in the line and lock!
The fishing reel spun quickly, and with a strong pull in July, the massive body of the Poison Water Devil Beast was suddenly dragged toward July.
"Roar!!!" The Water Devil Beast struggled rapidly, swinging its tentacles, trying to pull July back, but this played right into July's hands. It suddenly withdrew its strength, and with the help of the Water Devil Beast, leaped off the fishing platform and returned to Luo Yu's side, the whole movement flowing smoothly.
"Gah!" July stroked her own fishing rod, clearly delighted with it. The quality was excellent!
I'm sure I'll be able to catch lots of big fish in the future!
Luo Yu, Poison Water Devil Beast: "..."
Receiving praise from July, the color of his exclusive fishing rod began to change from dark black to red, and it could even change color automatically. "I wonder if the Moving Mineral Vein talent can be combined with the transformed form."
At this moment, Luo Yu took out several kinds of ores that he had casually taken from the research institute, tossed one of them to July, and said, "Take a look and see if you can assemble it with the fishing rod."
When July received the blue ore, she felt it constantly emitting bursts of electricity.
Electro-ore, Electric Crystal!
"Gurgle." July muttered, and the Water Devil Beast brand fishing rod transformed, producing a tentacle at the bottom of the rod, which stuffed the Electric Crystal into its body.
Buzz.
The entire fishing rod turned blue and crackled with electric arcs.
July seemed to be deep in thought. He cast his fishing rod again, and the hook flew off, catching the Poison Water Devil Beast.
In July, I watched the Poison Water Devil Beast.
Crash!
A powerful electric current traveled along the fishing rod, line, and hook, directly engulfing the entire body of the Poison Water Devil Beast!
"Roar!!!" Water Devil Beast cursed, feeling a tingling sensation all over its body. What a bunch of weird moves these were! Electric Crystal ability, storing electricity, and... Discharge!
After transforming the Electric Crystal into its core, the Water Devil Beast directly possessed the properties of the ore and mastered the ability to Discharge. Seeing that its fishing rod could also electrocute fish, July was deeply shocked.
I thought the custom fishing rod would be amazing, but I never expected it to be this amazing!
Holding the Water Devil Beast fishing rod, July couldn't wait to go to the deep sea and fish with the Water Devil Beast for three hundred rounds.
Just then...
"Luo Yu!!!"
Yu Wan's shouts could be heard from outside, indicating that Yu Wan and the others had returned.
Yu Wan quickly arrived at the underground ice cave and exclaimed, "The Zombie Tide is coming!"
"What?" Luo Yu was taken aback.
At the same time, the Poison Water Devil Beast's expression brightened upon seeing Yu Wan.
Mother!
"..." Yu Wan. "It's like this, after the July evolution, the geomagnetic field of Mirror Moon Island seems to have become more chaotic, which has agitated the zombie horde on the seabed. At this moment, a large group of zombie sea beasts are making unusual movements and are surrounding Mirror Moon Island."
Luo Yu fell into deep thought. Was this a virus from the ocean era launching a full-scale attack on the core of power from the land era?
"But don't worry," Yu Wan added immediately.
"This time, the Guardian God didn't intend to stand idly by. It said that since this Zombie Tide might have been caused by July, it would step in to help, and the Zombie Tide should not be able to get close to Mirror Moon Island."
"That's fine then." Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, according to the guardian's judgment, this Zombie Tide should only be the first wave, so its scale is not large. It can still easily block it from all directions and prevent the Zombie Tide from threatening Mirror Moon Island. But when the real big tide comes in more than two months, on the day of the Tidal Corpse Transformation, there may be an even larger Zombie Tide."
"At that time, it won't be able to guarantee the protection of every part of Mirror Moon Island. The Beast Taming of Mirror Moon Island will still have to clean up any stray zombies themselves to prevent them from sneaking onto the island."
Luo Yu nodded and said, "Since the guardian deity is willing to intervene this time, the casualties on Mirror Moon Island should be close to zero..."
"Wait... the Zombie Tide is coming, this seems like a good opportunity."
He looked at July and said, "Let's go. Anyway, the Guardian is in control. Let's go and deal with the Zombie Tide."
Yu Wan said, "I came to inform you for the same reason. The Guardian said that this Zombie Tide will be a great opportunity for you to gain experience before participating in the Abyss Trial."
... The horde of corpses moved unexpectedly ahead of schedule. At the port of Mirror Moon Island, many Beast Taming were on high alert, extremely tense.
Although the guardian deity said it would help resolve the issue, the Beast Management Bureau did not issue any notification, so it was treated as a rehearsal for an emergency.
At this moment, Shi Qianqian and her daughter were rather bewildered. They were on the Shiyin, puzzled as to why the Zombie Tide had arrived ahead of schedule.
Of course, they weren't worried. After all, Liu Yun was High-Tier King Level Beast Taming. Even if she couldn't defeat the Zombie Tide on her own, she could easily protect Shi Qianqian by avoiding battle.
Shi Qianqian.
Luo Yu arrived at the port and found Shi Qianqian.
"Luo Yu, do you know what happened?" Shi Qianqian asked hurriedly after seeing Luo Yu.
"Don't worry," Luo Yu said. "It's not a major tide. Mirror Moon Island has already conducted tests. It's just a small-scale Zombie Tide, a slight disturbance before the major tide, and its scale is average."
"Moreover, the guardian deity of Mirror Moon Island, the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, has decided to make a move. The horde of corpses won't even have a chance to get close to Mirror Moon Island; they will be frozen to the bottom of the sea."
"That's good." Shi Qianqian said, "It's strange, usually the zombie horde is very quiet before the high tide, why did they move out early..."
Luo Yu said, "Never mind that. How about we go out to sea? Taking advantage of this small-scale disturbance of the Zombie Tide, it's a great opportunity for training."
"Huh?" Shi Qianqian was taken aback and said, "Go out to sea during Zombie Tide?" Luo Yu chuckled, "Isn't this a perfect simulation of the Sea of Trials? No, the zombies there might be even more ferocious than the zombies here."
"That's true." Shi Qianqian looked at her mother.
"Go ahead." Liu Yun nodded. Anyway, with the guardian deity of Mirror Moon Island and her watching over things, nothing unexpected would happen.
A moment later.
Shi Qianqian and Luo Yu arrived on the Moon Empress.
Shi Qianqian walked towards the control room. "The Moon Empress is still the easiest to fly. Sitting in it, I feel like I'm the emperor of Mirror Moon Island..."
Luo Yu:?
"Don't talk nonsense. I already said, the moon is the moon of July, and the emperor is the emperor of the Bee Empress. What do you mean by 'emperor of Mirror Moon Island '?"
Shi Qianqian shrugged, activated the power source, and ignited the crystal core. With other fleets not daring to set sail, she and Luo Yu charged directly towards the source of the Zombie Tide.
In the initial stages, the two did not encounter any zombies surrounding the ship.
Just as the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile had said, the zombie sea beasts that approached Mirror Moon Island were all frozen to the bottom of the sea by its power. As soon as the ship started moving, July excitedly sat down on the private fishing platform, took the fishing rod that the Water Devil Beast had turned into, and prepared to have a big fishing trip.
"Why does it feel like your July has shrunk?"
Shi Qianqian temporarily switched the boat to autopilot mode, stepped out of the control room, and looked at July on the fishing platform with a puzzled expression. She felt that July had shrunk by at least one size in just one day.
It's on a diet these days.
Shi Qianqian:?
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Shi Qianqian retorted angrily.
"Wait a minute, could it be that the Honey Water Bee have mutated some kind of weight-loss injection?"
Luo Yu said, "You're really stupid."
Shi Qianqian grimaced.
"Oh, right, I have some bad news for you..." she changed the subject.
"From the newspapers a few days ago," Shi Qianqian said, "I had my family investigate some of the contestants. Luo Xiaobo, a Sequence 2, actually has a contract with Upper-Tier Monarch Species!"
