Chapter 308: A New Wave of Beast Tides

The Stone Lion Ghost King appeared even more imposing.

【Name: Stone Lion Ghost King】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Undead/Earth】

【Level: Tier 6, Level 5】

【Skills: Flight (Proficient): Grows wings made of rock on its back to fly in the air and attack enemies.

Wangling Guizhua (Proficient): Exotic Beasts killed by its sharp claws have a certain probability of being resurrected into an undead form.

Undead Intimidation (Proficient): Emits a Soul-based intimidation to shock the opponent, causing a certain degree of paralysis.

Self-Recovery (Proficient): Even if only one Heart Core remains, as long as it is in contact with the earth, it will re-condense its body.

Lion Totem: Creates a lion totem that displays the image of a lion, which can enhance the courage of surrounding Pet Beasts. Combined with the Fearless talent, it can form the Fearless of the Lion; all Pet Beasts shrouded in the Fearless Aura will have their combat power significantly increased.】

【Evolution Route 1: Stone Lion Ghost Emperor: Collect the souls of one hundred powerful Exotic Beasts and evolve into a Stone Lion Ghost Emperor at the junction of the netherworld.】

Ye Bai suddenly felt that the Stone Lion Ghost King was very suitable for Li Chen; combined with his Fearless talent, it was equivalent to forming a Fearless Aura.

Blood Stone Lions and Stone Lion Ghost Kings appeared one by one, and in the end, Ye Bai made a count: there were a total of thirty Blood Stone Lions, among which one was a Blood Stone Lion King, equivalent to the leader of the Blood Stone Lions.

As for the Stone Lion Ghost Kings, there were twenty in total, and these Stone Lion Ghost Kings were all experts at fighting alone.

Especially since the Exotic Beasts they killed all had a certain probability of being converted into undead, which was a powerful ability.

The mud in the Tuzai Chang turned directly to brown, clearly indicating that the blood essence within had been completely drained.

Ye Bai felt that the Blood Pool should be able to be used to cultivate Blood Stone Lions and Stone Lion Ghost Kings.

However, the Earth Stone Lions cultivated in the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm looked like lions covered in earth-yellow shields.

This guy's defensive power should be very strong.

At this moment, the Ghost Bats began to act secretly.

They flapped their wings, shuttling through the shadows like ghosts.

It was just that these audacious Ghost Bats had only just dived into the shadows of the Nantianmen Fortress when they were irradiated by strong light.

The Shadow Space they had painstakingly constructed was compressed quite a bit all at once.

This caused the pitch-black mass of Ghost Bats to be almost compressed to the size of paper.

Seeing that the Ghost Bats were exposed, Black Water Dan also couldn't wait to launch an attack.

There was a trace of Dragon Bloodline contained within their bodies, so they were also vaguely controlled by the Lava Dragon Turtle.

Although the Lava Dragon Turtle was sleeping, the order it gave while sleeping was to demand a massive attack on the Nantianmen Fortress.

If any Exotic Beast performed poorly, it would be treated as food by the Lava Dragon Turtle.

The Thunder Bird and Flame Leopard tribes only dared to slack off while the Lava Dragon Turtle was sleeping.

Once the Lava Dragon Turtle was about to wake up, they would become extremely well-behaved, cute, and obedient.

The Ghost Bats flew out of the shadows in a pitch-black mass, and dense Yin Qi emerged.

Originally, each of their bodies seemed to cover the sky and block the sun, but under the illumination of the Holy Light, their bodies were directly revealed in their true form, which was only about one meter.

Many Pet Beast Masters were watching Black Water Dan and the Ghost Bats besiege the Nantianmen Fortress.

One could see Black Water Dan's tail lightly tap the surface of the river, and the water flow seemed to be cut off.

They rushed toward the city walls of the Nantianmen Fortress.

Just at this moment, a deafening dragon roar came from afar.

After hearing this sound, the Exotic Beasts all went crazy.

Jiao Mujiao heard this sound, and he immediately understood that the Lava Dragon Turtle was about to revive, which was why those Exotic Beasts were afraid.

Just as Jiao Mujiao was about to order an all-out attack to fight these two types of Exotic Beasts, a deafening lion roar appeared.

The violent sound waves shocked the Exotic Beasts, causing them to show expressions of horror.

Black Water Dan's movements instantly showed a moment of hesitation.

But their pupils were filled with fear and madness; the power of the Lava Dragon Turtle was driving them to charge toward the Nantianmen Fortress regardless of their lives.

The city wall squirmed for a moment.

A huge earth-yellow lion appeared.

It had a pair of giant earth-yellow wings on its back, sharp teeth were exposed from its mouth, and its bright, piercing eyes stared fixedly at Black Water Dan.

This was an Earth Stone Lion.

After Black Water Dan saw the Earth Stone Lion leap out from the city wall, it immediately spat black liquid from its mouth.

These black liquids surged toward the Earth Stone Lion like raindrops.

Everything in their path was corroded away, but the Earth Stone Lion did not have the slightest look of fear.

It was seen stepping on the earth and slamming its paws heavily onto the ground.

Countless sharp stone spikes pierced directly through the bodies of many Black Water Dan.

Black Water Dan twisted their bodies frantically in pain.

"Is this a new type of Pet Beast cultivated by Ye Bai?"

"An evolved form of the Stone Lion?"

Jiao Mujiao was immediately overjoyed.

With the addition of the Stone Lion, the casualties of the Pet Beast Masters would definitely be reduced a lot.

"Prepare for long-range attacks."

The Earth Stone Lion stood like an incredibly Sturdy city wall, blocking the attack of Black Water Dan.

Many Pet Beast Masters already knew that the weakness of Black Water Dan was the single horn on its head.

One could see Lie Sha summon a large Barrett sniper shark.

She aimed at a Black Water Dan rushing over, her jade-white fingers pulling the trigger.

With a bang, one of the Black Water Dan fell to the sound.

The Barrett Sniper Shark shattered that Black Water Dan's head directly.

The tens-of-meters-long Black Water Dan then collapsed onto the ground, motionless.

Fresh blood flowed gurglingly onto the ground, almost dyeing the entire bottom of the river red.

Xuemo Du Bo was rubbing his hands together in extreme excitement.

"It's here, it's finally here. I specifically left a contingency in the moat back then; I thought I would never have a use for it."

"It turns out I used it this time."

Blood-red magic patterns appeared.

Blood followed the magic patterns, dripping into the Blood River like raindrops.

"The blood of a Tier 6 Black Water Dan should be enough to fill the Blood Pool very soon."

But what Xuemo Du Bo did not know was that an Exotic Beast that swallows gold was lurking at the bottom of the Blood River.

No matter how much blood dripped into the Blood River, it would be swallowed by the Blood Pool's artifact spirit, the Blood Flood Dragon.

The Blood Flood Dragon could restore its own body through this blood.

Moreover, the Blood Pool also had the ability to purify the concentration of the blood.

This was a very precious existence for many Exotic Beasts.

The energy and blood in the Blood Pool were enough to allow these Exotic Beasts to be reborn.

Unfortunately, the method of creating a Blood Pool had always been held only in the hands of the Blood Son.

And currently, the inheritance of the Blood Son had fallen into the hands of Ye Bai.

A Blood Stone Lion covered in blood-red light appeared. It swung its sharp Lijua, striking heavily toward the front.

A sound of tearing through the air rang out, and bloodstains appeared crisscrossing the sharp scales of the Black Water Dan.

This tearing attack caused extremely serious damage to the Black Water Dan.

Its wounds could not heal, and blood kept flowing out from them.

And all this blood gathered on the Blood Stone Lion, as blood could enhance the Blood Stone Lion's combat power.

Before long, the Black Water Dan's body seemed to be hollowed out, and finally, its head was smashed by a strike from the Blood Stone Lion's Zhua.

At this moment, a gray-white Stone Lion Ghost King flew into the air.

It rushed toward the Ghost Bat like an eagle.

In less than a moment, its teeth pierced through the Ghost Bat's body.

The Ghost Bat's main body was very fragile; after being hit by the Stone Lion Ghost King, they fell from the sky like raindrops.

Before long, gray-white Soul after Soul was sucked into the Stone Lion Ghost King's body.

These Soul would be enslaved by the Stone Lion Ghost King and become its combat puppets.

"Ye Bai, you successfully researched the evolved forms of the Stone Lion?"

Zhang Lingxue asked with great surprise.

Ye Bai smiled: "Teacher, I was just lucky. Let me introduce them to you."

"I have researched a total of three evolved forms of the Stone Lion."

"I already have concepts for the evolutionary results and theories; once this wave of attacks ends, I will write them down immediately."

For an ordinary person, Zhang Lingxue would certainly demand they write down the process, as many experiments are sudden flashes of inspiration, and if not successfully recorded, they would inevitably fall short of success.

But for Ye Bai, who possessed a Memory Palace, every process and every detail was recorded in Ye Bai's mind.

This was also the reason why Ye Bai was able to research a Tier 6 Pet Beast; of course, the True Sight Eye also played a huge role in this process.

"The earth-yellow stone lion that appeared at the beginning is called the Earth Stone Lion."

"A pure earth-attribute Pet Beast; even after they die, as long as the Heart Core comes into contact with the ground, it will begin to gestate its body."

"Its defensive power is extremely powerful, far exceeding ordinary Exotic Beasts; it is the defense of the Stone Lion's three systems."

"As long as you bury the Stone Lion's core in the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm, then add Earth Crystal Core, Dadi Zhiru, and other heavenly treasures, you can let the Stone Lion evolve into an Earth Stone Lion."

Subsequently, Ye Bai pointed at the blood-red lion on the screen and said: "That is the Blood Stone Lion, a bloodthirsty Pet Beast. The more Exotic Beasts it kills and the more blood it absorbs, the stronger the Blood Stone Lion's power becomes."

However, the appearance of the Blood Stone Lion made Xuemo Du Bo feel both love and hate.

Damn it, it was so hard to get so much blood to flow down, yet the Blood Stone Lion was competing with him for resources; Xuemo Du Bo was about to explode with anger.

But because the Blood Stone Lion was wrapped in blood-red blood energy and looked majestic, it really made Xuemo Du Bo feel that the Blood Stone Lion was his fated pet.

"This kind of Pet Beast must have been developed by Ye Bai. How is his brain so smart? Should I turn him into a Blood Demon?"

Xuemo Du Bo licked his lips.

As long as he turned him into a Blood Demon, Ye Bai would respect him from the bottom of his heart and become his most capable subordinate.

The Eternal Diva Zhang Jie had already been rescued by someone.

He could not miss out on Ye Bai.

Plus, he was very familiar with the entire Nantianmen Fortress, so he could naturally capture Ye Bai easily wherever he was and convert him into a Blood Demon.

At this time, Ye Bai pointed at the gray-white stone lion and said.

"That is the Stone Lion Ghost King; every Stone Lion Ghost King can form a legion."

"Exotic Beasts killed by the Stone Lion Ghost King have a certain probability of being enslaved by the Stone Lion Ghost King."

"These three types of Stone Lions can recover in a very short time as long as their Heart Core is not destroyed."

"Even if the Heart Core is destroyed, as long as it is buried in the ground, it will gradually be repaired."

After hearing Ye Bai's report, Jiao Mujiao grinned.

"Ye Bai, I think if you could participate in the world-wide Researcher Competition, you would at least be a champion."

"By the way, when will the recent Youth Research Competition begin?"

Jiao Mu Jiao suddenly asked.

"The qualifying round will be in about a day."

"However, it is already too late for Ye Bai at this point."

Zhang Lingxue said with great regret.

"He must pass the qualifying round to obtain a spot in the competition."

Jiao Mu Jiao nodded.

"How about this, Ye Bai, you accompany Eternal Diva, and escort Thunder Sword Li Qinglei, Lan, Lian, and Long to the Imperial Capital."

"Academician Su is already waiting at the Imperial Capital Research Institute."

"I originally intended to have Xiao Xue go back, but since you need to compete, you should go back instead."

"At the current stage, only Tier 6 Exotic Beasts are appearing, so it is still not the most critical moment."

"So you should go back and participate in the competition first."

"I will activate the Long-distance Teleportation Array."

"Rest assured, there will be no problems at Nantianmen Fortress."

"I have received news that Yin Hu is already on the way, and he will arrive here immediately."

"With two of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation stationed here, it will naturally not be so easily breached."

Jiao Mu Jiao's words were like a shot of adrenaline to Ye Bai's heart.

With two of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, the Lava Dragon Turtle should not dare to be so unscrupulous.

The Blood Demon would not dare to act rashly in the short term.

As for the Ghost Bat and Black Water Dan, he had already told them their clear weaknesses.

Therefore, Ye Bai felt it was time for him to return to the Imperial Capital.

He wanted to find a way to contract the Water Qilin Beast in advance.

After contracting the Water Qilin Beast, he would be able to secretly avoid the curse, and from then on, no one would be able to find his location through divination.

The Water Qilin Beast was like a large-sized shell of a Destiny Turtle.

At this moment, Zhang Jie was sitting upright on the bed, deep in thought.

Her sister's information was actually classified; what had her sister been doing behind her back?

However, Lord Xu Gou Zhang Dashan had already promised her that he would definitely help her find her sister's whereabouts and let her family reunite.

Now there was an urgent mission to handle, which was to escort Thunder Sword, Long, Lian, and Lan to the Imperial Capital Laboratory.

They intended to use Thunder Sword as a research subject to see how to awaken the souls of Long, Lian, and Lan.

These three were all once somewhat famous Pet Beast Masters in the Yan Country, but they had suddenly disappeared.

The Yan Country had also searched vigorously for a long time, but found no trace of them.

It was as if they had been abducted right where they stood.

When they met again, they had become corpse puppets manipulated by the Corpse Speaker.

Therefore, Su Qingxian was, firstly, pained that these vibrant young girls had been turned into corpse puppets, and secondly, she wanted to find a way to awaken the latent consciousness of corpse puppets.

Su Qingxian had originally wanted to have Zhang Lingxue return to conduct the research, but Zhang Lingxue was, after all, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and she had to guard the Nantianmen Fortress.
