Chapter 366: Spatial Jellyfish

"Alright, the necessary supplies you need for the mission are all with Lady Bat; you can just ask her for them directly."

"The security inside the base is extremely strict; they will rigorously detect the spatial fluctuations caused by opening a Pet Beast Space."

"If they catch you, they will immediately execute the person who opened the Pet Beast Space."

"Pet Beasts with spatial attributes also cannot easily enter that place."

"The vicinity of the ocean is filled with man-eating Exotic Beasts."

"Therefore, Ye Bai, this time you may have to enter alone."

Qilin Marshal continued to ramble on.

"I have other matters to attend to here; Lady Bat will explain the specific details to you."

Lady Bat, who was to the side, nodded, and Qilin Marshal went offline immediately.

"Ye Bai, with the help of the smart glasses' virtual space, let me tell you about the difficulties of this mission."

"Our mission target this time is named Wang Dalei; Professor Wang is a renowned mechanical engineering expert in our country."

"He has led the development of many of our country's large-scale projects."

"And I heard he has been researching artificial intelligence cores recently."

"He has already reached the point of near success."

Currently, Professor Wang has already developed Mechanical Frogs and Mechanical Flying Birds, contributing to the Yan Country.

Ye Bai remembered the core of the Steel Dragon; he already had both the Wisdom Core and the Power Core in his possession.

However, Ye Bai had not yet thought of a better way to install the Wisdom Core onto the Steel Dragon.

The experimental records left behind by Zhubinuo Boshi did not contain information on this either.

If Zhubinuo Boshi were still alive, he could naturally have been asked for the specifics.

Therefore, Ye Bai wanted to take this opportunity to let Professor Wang take a look for him.

After all, Professor Wang is a mechanical engineering expert.

If he could rescue Professor Wang from his misery, asking him these questions shouldn't be too offensive.

"Let me tell you the specific location of this Deep Sea Research Institute."

"It is on a remote small island, and the spatial magnetic field around the island is always unstable."

"Once you use Space Transfer, you will be drawn into a spatial storm; remember, never go head-to-head with a spatial storm."

"That base is underground on the island, in the deep sea."

"According to my inquiries, that place was once a very important research site for the Beautiful Country."

"The Beautiful Country made extensive preparations there."

"They have a specialized Pet Beast detection system; once any threatening Pet Beast is detected approaching the vicinity, it will be mercilessly shot down by hundreds of lasers."

"So you need to take a Breathing Potion and swim over."

Ye Bai was speechless upon hearing this.

If there is a specialized detection method for Pet Beasts, wouldn't it be fine if I just drove a submarine over?

But Ye Bai knew that there must be a sonar detection system there.

A submarine is so big; don't take them for fools.

He nodded at Lady Bat: "Fine, I understand, leave everything to me."

"What about dry rations?"

Ye Bai asked casually, and Lady Bat showed an embarrassed expression.

"The dry rations were eaten by me when we were trapped in the Banan Suo."

"As a spatial Pet Beast contractor, my consumption is definitely higher than that of an average Pet Beast Master."

"There is food everywhere in the ocean, Ye Bai, you can prepare it yourself."

Listening to Lady Bat's words, Ye Bai resisted the urge to slap Lady Bat away.

Is this how you do things? He took the Breathing Potion from Lady Bat's hand; this is a potion that allows one to breathe freely underwater after drinking it.

"Then I leave everything to you, Ye Bai."

"At the same time, you need to protect yourself well."

"Besides being one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, you are also an outstanding researcher."

"I will return to the country and wait for your return."

After Lady Bat finished speaking, she left the place with a single teleportation.

Ye Bai summoned the Myriad-Change Butterfly and continued to transform into a Thunder Light Butterfly to head toward the island's location.

He planned to get the spatial crystal first before executing the mission.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly flapped its wings, skimming low over the roaring sea.

The white spray kicked up by the waves almost wet the Myriad-Change Butterfly's wings.

Ye Bai watched as flying fish with wings emerged from the sea surface.

They followed the Myriad-Change Butterfly, flying in the air.

These were small flying fish, a type of common water-type Exotic Beast.

The meat is very tender, suitable for making sashimi.

Ye Bai had once made it for the Myriad-Change Butterfly to eat.

Now, as soon as the Myriad-Change Butterfly saw the small flying fish, its eyes lit up.

The gluttonous Myriad-Change Butterfly blasted a Thunder Light directly; after the crackling sound, all the small flying fish were wrapped in electric arcs and fell from the air.

The next second, the Myriad-Change Butterfly spat out a woven Insect Web from its mouth and scooped up the small flying fish in one go.

These small flying fish, skewered by the campfire, would be quite good for making robatayaki.

Otherwise, if you coat it in batter and deep-fry it in a wok of oil, even the bones would be crispy.

Just as the Variety Butterfly's brain was conjuring up images of various delicacies, the sea changed as quickly as one flips a hand.

A sudden white fog, like a massive grey cloth, instantly covered the previously clear line of sight.

Mist swirled everywhere, and the sound of the ocean waves became distant and mysterious within the fog.

The sea surface was shrouded in mist, a boundless expanse where water and sky merged, making it difficult to discern direction.

Even the Variety Butterfly lost its sense of direction, and this white fog was extremely cold.

If it couldn't find land for a long time, the Variety Butterfly wouldn't be able to fly for so long; it had to stop and rest for a while.

Its wings had become extremely exhausted.

The Variety Butterfly stared intently ahead, trying to find a clue within the swirling mist.

Sea birds lost their way in the fog; they circled anxiously, emitting sharp cries, but could not find a place to perch.

The air was filled with the salty scent of seawater and the chill of the mist; everything felt so damp and heavy.

The surrounding magnetic field was in chaos, and Ye Bai knew that they were not far from that small island.

The area near that small island was a notorious shipwreck zone.

Shipwrecks from various eras lay quietly beneath the sea surface.

"Variety Butterfly, don't worry, follow my instructions, I have a way to get out."

At this moment, Ye Bai's Memory Palace began to operate.

He looked at the reefs protruding from the sea, remembering whether he had flown past here just now.

"Variety Butterfly, fly in the direction of a fifty-degree angle to the left."

"Variety Butterfly, to the right."

After some instructions from Ye Bai, the Variety Butterfly's vision finally cleared up.

The long-lost sunlight fell from high above, driving away the cold on the Variety Butterfly's body.

A radiant smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.

It flapped its wings and flew into the air, directly transforming into the True Light Goddess form.

"Variety Butterfly, we might have to live on this small island for a while."

Ye Bai rubbed the Variety Butterfly's head and said solemnly.

A smile appeared on the Variety Butterfly's face.

It had long wanted to eat the meat of the Golden Light Puffer Whale.

That thing is said to be the supreme delicacy. That bastard's size is not small, enough for the Variety Butterfly to eat to its heart's content.

Just then, the sky shattered like an eggshell, and a large number of Space Rifts appeared.

Ye Bai looked at these Space Rifts and knew that trouble was brewing.

At this moment, many Space Jellyfish suddenly appeared before Ye Bai's eyes.

These Space Jellyfish had a total of eight arms, their centers were hollow, and they only had two crystal-clear eyes, which were looking at Ye Bai.

【Name: Space Jellyfish】

【Evaluation: This group of Space Jellyfish was attracted by the Space Crystals; they will absorb the energy of the Space Crystals and evolve into Void Jellyfish.】

After seeing the Space Jellyfish, Ye Bai secretly thought it was bad.

It seems the Space Crystals have attracted all the space-attribute Pet Beasts.

This small island is quite large, and Ye Bai intends not to stop for now, but to go directly to see where the Space Crystals are located.

At this moment, he discovered that the Space Jellyfish had extended its tentacles, black electric arcs emerged from the tentacles, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a Black Hole flickering with black electric arcs.

"Damn, what are these guys trying to do?"

Ye Bai did not want to fight these lunatics, so he urged the Variety Butterfly to leave this place.

Although the Space Jellyfish is adept at using Teleportation, all of its abilities were restricted by the space crystals.

Soon, the Space Jellyfish were left behind by Ye Bai.

In fact, affected by the Space Crystals, the surrounding space had become very unstable.

From time to time, one could see Void Rifts, and at such times, void creatures would break into the Crystal Wall.

However, their strength was still weakened by the Crystal Wall, and their pride and joy, Teleportation, could not be deployed at all on the small island.

Looking at it this way, Ye Bai's speed was still one step ahead.

He arrived at the place where the Space Crystals were located.

An unfathomably deep pit appeared on the ground.

It was covered with dense crystals, just like a forest composed of Space Crystals.

These crystals captured starlight in the gaps of the universe and converted them into space energy to store.

This is also the reason why void creatures are attracted to space crystals.

The crystals combine together, forming trees made of crystal.

Each tree glimmers with a jewel-like radiance; their trunks are solidified with intricate geometric patterns, and their branches spread out into countless crystal-clear twigs.

Every piece of crystal is like a meticulously polished gemstone; they shine brilliantly in the starry sky, emitting a star-blue light.

Night gradually falls.

When moonlight projects onto the space crystals, the space crystals are ignited by the moonlight, emitting a ghostly blue glow, and the entire forest burns as if ignited by blue flames.

At this moment, movement comes from the Space Pelican.

The giant cocoon binding the Space Pelican appears.

It pulses once again like a heart, the giant cocoon absorbing vast amounts of space energy.

Just then, a black shadow appears; it opens its sharp pincers and suddenly snaps them toward the giant cocoon.

Only a series of crackling sounds are heard, and the pincers are snapped directly into three sections.

This Void Ant wails as the space energy stored in its body is absorbed by the giant cocoon.

Before long, the Void Ant turns into grains of sand.

The number of Void Ants is extremely large, and wherever they pass, even space itself is devoured by them.

Their abdomens contain a small space, allowing them to store things inside their bodies at will.

As long as a Void Ant is killed, it will drop a Void Crystal Core and whatever it has stored in its abdomen.

Although some might be trash, there is also a portion that consists of useful items.

"It looks like this is going to be a tough battle."

Space crystals are the key to the reproduction of Void Ants.

They treat space crystals as if they were a brood mother.

And the Void Ant Queen also needs to absorb the energy of the space crystals to give birth to more Void Ants.

"It seems there's no telling how many monsters and demons have come out."

"Everyone, let's go."

Ye Bai releases the Pet Beast from his hand.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly sprays threads as thin as steel wire from its mouth.

These threads land on the bodies of the Void Ants, shredding them instantly.

However, the shattered parts of the Void Ants soon recover.

The giant cocoon is continuously devouring space energy.

The originally white insect silk is dyed star-blue.

The Nether Wolf sprays streams of Hell fire from its mouth.

The terrifying flames, like insecticide for cockroaches and ants, land on the bodies of the Void Ants and spread rapidly.

They wail as they are consumed by the Hell fire, leaving behind Void Crystal Cores on the ground, along with items that burst out from the Void Ants.

Ye Bai's gaze is quickly drawn to a golden light.

This is actually a piece of Refined Gold the size of a millstone.

"Damn, such a large piece of Refined Gold; I'm rich, I'm rich."

A look of joy immediately appears on Ye Bai's face.

The value of Refined Gold is extremely high, and it is usually used to make collectibles.

When applied to the bodies of certain metal-type Pet Beasts, it can protect them from damage caused by fire-type skills.

The Sunflower Fairy summons a giant Sunflower Giant.

Countless vines entwine together and smash heavily toward the Void Ants.

The Void Ants that cannot dodge in time are smashed directly into meat paste by the fists.

"No, there are too many of them; I can't quite hold them off."

Just as Ye Bai is muttering, the Space Jellyfish appear.

Upon seeing the massive swarm of Space Jellyfish, the Void Ants immediately shift their target.

They rush toward the Space Jellyfish with all their might.

Void Ants and Space Jellyfish are mortal enemies.

Once they encounter each other, they will slaughter one side completely before victory is considered won.

The two sides begin to slaughter each other.

The giant cocoon begins to absorb the energy of the space crystals without restraint.

It is undergoing its final transformation.

Ye Bai has a faint feeling that if the Space Pelican can devour all the space crystals, it should be able to condense the prototype of a Space Domain.
