Chapter 335: Demon Bear, how did you get up here?

The Demon Bear and the Water Rabbit followed stealthily behind, observing every move Ye Bai made in secret.

But it was very strange; even though the Demon Bear and the Water Rabbit had appeared on the surveillance many times, the people responsible for monitoring still acted as if they could not see the two of them.

The sand on the beach was white and fine, the waves crashed toward the shore with a splash, and many wild coconut trees grew near the seaside.

Coconuts could serve as a primary source of fresh water.

But one cannot drink too much coconut water, as it will cause severe diarrhea.

"Ice Fire Rock, help me knock the coconuts down from the tree."

Ye Bai said this to Ice Fire Rock.

Ice Fire Rock curled its body, looking like a giant stone, and rammed into the coconut tree.

Only a series of bang-bang-bang sounds were heard, and a coconut rain fell from the sky.

The beach was pelted with small, shallow pits by the coconuts.

Life Rose stomped its foot on the ground, and the coconuts were lifted up by tender sprouts growing out of the beach.

In a short while, they piled up to the size of a small hill.

Ye Bai casually collected the coconuts into his Bracelet.

"The Exotic Beasts on this Huangdao, apart from the Pet Beasts guarding treasure chests, are all at about the Fourth Rank level."

"This won't put the researchers in too much danger; this is also the purpose of our testing. After all, researchers are not Pet Beast Masters, nor are they specialized in fighting and killing."

"Plus, with the restriction placed in the Bracelet by the Space Emperor, one of the Eight Great Emperors, there generally won't be any problems."

"Even so, safety precautions cannot be relaxed."

As the main person in charge of the Zuoweihui, Zhubinuo Boshi naturally knew how tight the security for this competition was.

Every researcher here, if something happened to them, would be an unbearable loss.

After all, every researcher who could enter the third round was a future national treasure in their respective countries; they could not afford any mistakes, otherwise, it would cause massive trouble.

Zhubinuo had also warned those in the intelligence department who liked to act recklessly.

They must keep their tails tucked tightly, otherwise, they would certainly suffer the thunderous wrath of Zhubinuo Boshi.

Zhubinuo Boshi's status in the Beautiful Country was equivalent to that of a discipline founder, possessing extremely high prestige and status; once he got angry, the entire Beautiful Country would tremble.

People from the Beautiful Country had deployed a large number of surveillance cameras on the Huangdao.

They hid these cameras, and even the people from the Zuoweihui did not know the locations of all the surveillance.

This was also for the safety of the contestants.

Firstly, they used this method to understand the contestants' actions and provide a reference for grading them.

A researcher should remain calm and composed at all times; this was the basic quality a researcher should possess.

The waves washed some water-type Exotic Beasts that had been knocked unconscious onto the shore.

Giant Deep Sea Anglerfish lay scattered across the beach.

Their heads had been smashed until they were bloody, and their entire heads were completely deformed.

The Deep Sea Anglerfish is a giant fish of the deep sea, and its body is covered in mucus like glue.

However, the meat of the Deep Sea Anglerfish is very tender, and its deliciousness is hailed as a jewel of the sea.

The mucus on the Deep Sea Anglerfish is very troublesome to deal with, and it also has a special fishy stench.

The Sunflower Emperor had once processed a Deep Sea Anglerfish, but now Ye Bai could not openly let the Sunflower Emperor appear in front of everyone.

But the good thing was that the exterior of the Deep Sea Anglerfish was covered with a large amount of sand grains, and these sand grains could clear away the mucus.

"Life Rose, cut the fish meat on both sides of the Deep Sea Anglerfish; this will be our food for the next few days."

Life Rose extended two swords made of thorns from its petal-like hands and slashed directly at both sides of the Deep Sea Anglerfish.

Two pieces of snow-white fish meat fell off.

This fish meat was enough for Ye Bai to eat for four or five days.

The seawater washed the mucus and sand grains off the surface of the fish meat.

Then he collected it into the Bracelet.

Just at this moment, Ye Bai suddenly discovered a conch embedded with gems all over its body.

This is?

Could it be? The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt a bit nervous inside; if it really was that thing, then he had hit the jackpot.

Ye Bai used the Appraisal Technique on the conch.

【Name: Sacred Conch】

【Gender: Agender】

【Trait: Matter Purification: All matter swallowed into the belly will be purified.】

【Attribute: Holy/Space】

【Level: Fifth Rank, Level 5】

【Skills: Devour (Proficient): Open the mouth wide and swallow matter.

Spit (Proficient): Spit out undigested matter from the mouth to attack opponents.

Conch Shell Space (Proficient): The inside of the conch shell contains a space the size of dozens of basketball courts.

Teleportation (Mastered): Can teleport to various places, and ordinary people would never be able to discover the location of the Sacred Conch.】

【Evolution Route 1: Sacred Heaven Conch: Devour relics with the Holy attribute and absorb the Holy attribute energy within them.】

【Evolution Route 2: Nether Ghost Conch: Devour relics with the Ghost attribute and absorb the ghost energy within them.】

【Evaluation: A Sacred Conch that has mastered Teleportation; if it hadn't been hit by an iceberg the moment it appeared, how could it have fallen into a state of fainting and been washed onto the shore.】

"Very good, Sacred Conch; a Pet Beast that has mastered Teleportation like this, if not for a stroke of luck, would truly be impossible to capture."

Ye Bai thought to himself secretly.

This thing can devour a large amount of matter and condense its essence.

It can provide researchers with a large amount of data as support.

But how should one form a contract with the Sacred Snail? If the Sun Flower Fairy were here, one could naturally use the Enslavement skill.

The Sacred Snail is born with the ability to teleport; if the Sacred Snail were placed in the Pet Beast Space, the Sacred Snail could also leave this place via teleportation.

Just as Ye Bai was getting a headache, the Demon Bear suddenly appeared swaggeringly in front of Ye Bai.

Ye Bai felt that the Demon Bear was only missing a cigarette in its mouth and a pair of sunglasses on its face.

"Demon Bear, how did you appear here?"

Ye Bai rubbed his eyes; the key was how this guy got here.

One must know that the Zuoweihui had set up a large number of surveillance devices here; once any other Exotic Beast entered the Huangdao, it would be immediately detected by the surveillance, and powerful Pet Beast Masters would be dispatched to clear out these Exotic Beasts.

This was mainly to prevent people from cheating by sending in some Exotic Beasts they had contracted themselves.

Was the Demon Bear not afraid of being misunderstood by the people from the Zuoweihui and then being killed?

Ye Bai simply could not understand it at all.

Just then, a mass of water transformed into the shape of a Water Rabbit; it held its head with both hands and whistled.

It looked thoroughly bored.

Huh? The Water Rabbit came too; why are these two guys so bold?

"Aren't you afraid of being monitored and then captured?"

The Demon Bear blinked its eyes.

"Not afraid, the Water Rabbit possesses the Protective Color skill." "Ordinary surveillance equipment cannot discover the traces of the Water Rabbit's location."

"This is why the Water Rabbit has not been discovered by humans for so long."

"The Water Rabbit can place this skill on other Exotic Beasts or humans."

"So you don't have to worry about us being discovered at all."

"You can even avoid surveillance; I can sense the location of all surveillance, which is a unique talent of our Demon Bear clan."

"I know you want to keep the Sacred Snail; this kind of Pet Beast is a very rare existence even in our Exotic Beast world."

"The Water Rabbit has a special skill called Thin Mask, which can temporarily make some Pet Beast skills disappear."

"As long as the Sacred Snail is hit by this skill, its teleportation cannot be used."

"You can lock it up; how about it, this skill is pretty good, right?"

The Demon Bear said slowly.

It had a "beg me, beg me" look; as long as you speak up, I will let the Water Rabbit use this skill.

As a result, the Water Rabbit stretched out its finger and sprayed a stream of seven-colored water directly at the Sacred Snail.

The water flow landed on the gem-covered shell of the Sacred Snail, spreading out like glue and forming a transparent shell.

The Water Rabbit actually took the initiative to help Ye Bai? Could it be that Ye Bai has some special relationship with the Water Rabbit? The Demon Bear blinked its eyes, looking stunned.

"Done, you must remember the favor of Lord Bear."

The Demon Bear crossed its arms directly and looked down at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai's mouth twitched; the Demon Bear has such a big face!

This completely copied the shamelessness of the Myriad-Changing Butterfly; Ye Bai felt that it would definitely become good friends with the Myriad-Changing Butterfly, because these two Pet Beasts were both quite shameless.

"Then thank you."

Ye Bai said in a flat tone, then sent the Sacred Snail into the space of the Bracelet.

The Sacred Snail was locked up; this kind of Pet Beast is of great use to Ye Bai, and he must think of a way to contract the Sacred Snail.

His own Pet Beast Space was sealed by the Bracelet, otherwise, letting the Sun Flower Fairy enslave the Sacred Snail would be a matter of minutes.

Ye Bai could not think of a very good way, and his gaze fell on the Demon Bear and the Water Rabbit.

The Water Rabbit was still chewing the carrot in its hand, making a crunching sound.

And the Demon Bear flapped its bat wings, circling around Ye Bai again and again.

"By the way. Why did you come here?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"We were tired of staying at Xinyue Daxue, really tired of it."

"It just so happened there was this opportunity to leave Xinyue Daxue and go around for a stroll."

"Moreover, although I am enslaved by the Sun Flower Fairy, because the Sun Flower Fairy is locked in the Pet Beast Space, the enslavement effect is not obvious, so I snuck out."

"We have wanted to come to this Huangdao for a long time."

"It is said that there are Emerald Turtles; the shells of these turtles can ooze some Purification water, which is one of the raw materials for the Water Rabbit's evolution, so we wanted to come here to try our luck."

The Demon Bear crossed its arms and said with a bit of pride.

"Emerald Turtle?"

There is actually an Emerald Turtle here? The Emerald Turtle is a very special Pet Beast; its whole body is composed of priceless emeralds.

Its movement speed is very, very slow; it might not move an inch in a year.

But the Emerald Turtle can absorb the surrounding essence to brew special Purification water.

This liquid can purify negative energy, negative emotions, poisoning, and other conditions.

The Emerald Turtle is very rare and not easily discovered by people; because they are too lazy to move, they will stay in one position for a long time.

Over time, a large amount of soil will accumulate on the shell of the Emerald Turtle, forming small hills.

They will also take this opportunity to absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon to condense treasures like Turtle Pearls.

"Do you have the whereabouts of the Emerald Turtle?"

The Emerald Turtle holds a very high status in the scientific research world; if Ye Bai could capture an Emerald Turtle, his points would definitely skyrocket.

"I don't know, perhaps the Emerald Turtle has already left this place; after all, the Emerald Turtle is a very vigilant Exotic Beast."

"Once it senses that it cannot stay here for long, the Emerald Turtle will discard its shell and flee this place."

"Its speed is too fast; even I, the Demon Bear, can only watch it go and sigh."

The Demon Bear chattered on and on.

It did not have any ulterior motives and told Ye Bai all the information it knew.

Although Ye Bai felt a bit greedy for the Emerald Turtle, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find it.

"I know where there is excellent honey to eat on Huangdao."

"Other Demon Bears told me this as well."

Although the Demon Bear's species is a demon, it possesses a bear shape and has some common hobbies.

For example, sweets; for example, honey.

"No problem."

"I happen to want to collect some seasonings as well."

"Demon Bear, just tell me where the honey is."

The Demon Bear hesitated for a moment: "But that place has Exotic Beasts like Killer Bees."

"Their bee spears are a meter long and covered in venom; I'm afraid if you go in, you won't be able to come back."

The Killer Bee is a Tier 4 gregarious Exotic Beast that takes pleasure in slaughter, but it produces a special honey or honey wine.

This honey is nurtured by absorbing the life essence of its prey.

The Life Rose can be consumed to enhance one's own foundation.

This Exotic Beast possesses four sharp bee spears, and there is a thumb-thick Poison Needle on its tail.

It injects venom into the prey's body through the Poison Needle.

Then, it brings these prey, which have absolutely no ability to resist, back to its nest for the Queen Bee to enjoy.

"What a coincidence, I also need to borrow the Queen Bee's head for a use."

After all, if the Highly Toxic Emperor Butterfly wants to evolve into a Gu Queen, it must devour Exotic Beasts with insect attributes.

And the Queen Bee happens to be the best choice for the Highly Toxic Emperor Butterfly.

As a carnivorous Pet Beast, the Highly Toxic Emperor Butterfly is simply an overwhelming existence when dealing with the Queen Bee.

"Then I will tell you."

The Demon Bear paused and then drew the location.

Ye Bai looked at the scribbles that looked like a heavenly book and was completely speechless.

This is no map; it is clearly a hodgepodge. Even if a map research expert came, they would be completely dumbfounded by this level of map.

"It's in the middle of the forest."

"It seems the levels of the Exotic Beasts in the forest are not low."

If a Pet Beast like the Killer Bee can appear in the middle of the forest, it means there is a powerful Pet Beast driving these Pet Beasts from behind.
