Chapter 456: Thunder Island

~14 min read 2,617 words

With Lan Fa handling the logistics, Ye Bai didn't have to worry at all about where to board or transfer, and before long, Ye Bai arrived in Donghai Sheng with Lan Fa.

Donghai Sheng is a large coastal province with a very developed economy, and almost every city is near the sea.

However, being near the sea comes with a problem that is quite a headache: thunderstorm weather.

It can be said that out of three hundred and sixty-five days a year, basically a quarter of the days are thunderstorm days.

Moreover, the thunderstorms are not concentrated; sometimes this city has more thunderstorms, and sometimes that city has more.

To avoid being struck by thunderstorms, every household in Donghai Sheng raises at least one or two thunder-type Pet Beasts.

"Respected passengers, we have arrived at Penglai City, Donghai Sheng. Please take your belongings and disembark."

After Ye Bai and Lan Fa got off the vehicle, they headed straight for the Lightning Canyon in Penglai City.

As a result, they encountered an overwhelming amount of flyers on the outskirts of the Lightning Canyon.

"Watch the Lightning Qilin appear while bathing in thunder?"

Ye Bai was speechless; he just wanted to quietly complete his evolution experiment for the Thunder Rabbit, never expecting that Penglai City would be hosting such an event.

The Lightning Canyon was now completely packed with people, people, and more people.

It was a sea of heads as far as the eye could see, and many thunder-type Pet Beasts had been set up here as well.

If he were to conduct an evolution experiment in this environment, Ye Bai figured he must have lost his mind.

"How about we go somewhere else?"

Lan Fa was also speechless.

"There is another place called Thunder Island, located in the northwest corner of the East Sea. It is affected by thunderstorms all year round, and the entire island is made of magnetite."

"Lightning falls from the high sky without stopping, I just don't know if it meets your requirements."

Ye Bai thought for a moment: "Since we're already here, let's go take a look."

"However, I remember that Thunder Island doesn't seem to be open to the public; it seems they want to protect the mineral resources there."

Lan Fa nudged Ye Bai's arm with his elbow: "That only restricts ordinary people. For a genius researcher like you, you can enter the island to conduct experiments."

"You just need to submit an application through the logistics system now. As long as the Logistics Department approves it, you can land on the island."

"And as your personal assistant, I can also accompany you to the island."

Ye Bai was skeptical.

He took out his phone and first applied under the identity of Lecturer Ye Bai.

It was rejected directly by the system.

Helpless, he had to use an encrypted account to apply in the name of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and only then did it pass the review.

"Alright, the review passed, let's go to Thunder Island."

"You know the way, right? To save time, let's just sit on the back of a Heaven-Swallowing Pelican and head to Thunder Island."

At this, Lan Fa shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

"Because of the severe thunderstorms in Donghai Sheng, flight is prohibited in many areas, and the suburbs are no exception."

"If you get caught, a single report could get you detained for ten days."

"We'd better rent a car, go to the seaside first, and then head to Thunder Island."

Lan Fa fully demonstrated his social butterfly capabilities.

He chartered a car and paid the driver triple the price to rush to the seaside.

Then he spent more money to board a speedboat, heading toward Thunder Island at high speed.

"Thunder Island is plagued by thunderstorms year-round, so the entire island is almost devoid of life, except for one type of Exotic Beast called the Thunder Cow that lives on the island; they feed on thunder."

"It's just that the number of Thunder Cows is quite scarce, so they are listed as protected Exotic Beasts."

"Thunder Cows have very bad tempers; once they see other species on the island, they will immediately turn red in the face and pant heavily."

"If you encounter this situation, you must run away immediately, otherwise you will be pierced through by a charging Thunder Cow."

"Thunder Cows are protected Exotic Beasts, and every Thunder Cow has a monitoring device inside its body. Once the signal disappears, people will be sent to check, so Ye Bai, you must not lay a hand on the Thunder Cows."

"If a Thunder Cow dies, as long as they find out you did it, it's basically three years in prison at the very least."

Lan Fa warned Ye Bai.

They were sitting on the speedboat, sailing toward Thunder Island.

It had been sunny, but after getting close to Thunder Island, it became overcast with dark clouds.

The sky was no longer a tranquil blue, but was completely swallowed by rolling dark clouds.

These dark clouds were thick and low, and blinding electric light flashed between them from time to time, releasing deadly currents in the high sky.

Bolts of lightning suddenly fell from the high sky, striking the Huangdao and the sea, emitting a deafening boom.

Thunder Island was tightly entwined by endless thunder; the sound of thunder roared from the depths of those thick clouds, and every vibration felt like the Thunder God was flying into a rage.

Amidst the crisscrossing electric light, the entire island was illuminated in flickering light and shadow, just like the underworld that lures away souls.

The giant waves became even more turbulent under the stimulation of the thunder; they rushed forward one after another, striking the island's reefs with an arrogant power, emitting a deafening roar.

This is the notorious Thunder Island.

Looking at this majestic natural wonder, Lan Fa still swallowed hard.

"Ye Bai, I think with my small arms and legs, I won't accompany you onto Thunder Island."

"I reckon the moment I land on the island, I'll be turned into dust by the thunder."

"I don't want to become 'Dusty Fa'."

Lan Fa said with a bitter face.

No problem, there wasn't a spot for you in the application anyway; it was you who insisted on tagging along.

The speedboat stopped not far from Thunder Island.

"Sorry, the waves ahead are too big, we can't get through at all. How about we drop you off here?"

The captain said somewhat apologetically.

"It's fine, Captain. You warned us before; I'll just go onto the island alone."

"Lan Fa, you stay on the ship and come to meet me later. I'm going to take a look at Thunder Island."

"I don't know when I'll be able to return, but when I do, I will let you know in advance through Mirror Girl."

Ye Bai possessed a mirror created by Mirror Girl; this mirror was like a wireless communication device, capable of being used in extreme environments.

"No problem, go ahead."

Ye Bai summoned the Water Qilin Beast.

The Water Qilin Beast's size was now about the same as a Great White Shark.

It could be seen standing steadily on the surface of the sea with its four hooves.

"Water Qilin Beast, time is tight, let's set off quickly."

Ye Bai flipped over and sat on the back of the Water Qilin Beast.

A blue light shield suddenly emerged from the body of the Water Qilin Beast.

Pet Beast Master, are you ready?

I am about to charge.

The Water Qilin Beast stomped its four hooves fiercely, stirring up a large amount of waves.

Wherever it passed, the giant waves were like walking on flat ground.

It leaped between the wave crests, its movements very agile.

"Water Qilin Beast, I'm really counting on you."

This Water Qilin Beast was covered in shimmering blue scales, each one like meticulously carved glazed glass.

Its four limbs were slender and strong; where it stepped, it could calm surging giant waves, and even the turbulent sea could not block its forward pace.

As a Gale blew and monstrous waves attacked, the Water Qilin Beast began its run on the sea surface.

Its pace was not hurried; instead, it carried a kind of calm elegance, each step seeming to fit perfectly with the rhythm of the waves.

The Water Qilin Beast was, after all, the king of the waters.

And as a member of the auspicious beasts, it was naturally inclined to seek advantages and avoid harm; it could sense where there would be danger.

Suddenly, the Water Qilin Beast leaped high into the air; it seemed to have begun to accelerate.

Just at this moment, streaks of Thunder Light fell from the sky like sharp arrows.

The Water Qilin Beast stepped through the air with extreme agility, avoiding the streaks of electricity one by one.

Not long after, the Water Qilin Beast arrived at Thunder Island.

"Hello, are you Lord Kuimulang?"

A Beast Tamer holding a notebook and wearing a white lab coat walked out from the reefs of Thunder Island.

"I am. I need to conduct some secret experiments here; please do not let anyone disturb me."

"I may need to stay here for three days."

Ye Bai stated his purpose.

"Very well, your requirements have already been noted on the application."

"However, there are a few points I need to remind you of."

"First, the Thunder Cow is the protected Exotic Beast of Thunder Island. You must not harm the Thunder Cow. Even if you are Kuimulang of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, you have no special privileges. The laws of Yan Country are above power."

"Second, it is currently the thunderstorm season. The power of the thunder on Thunder Island will increase significantly. If you cannot withstand the might of the thunder, please evacuate Thunder Island as soon as possible."

"Third, the ores on the island are important resources and private mining is not allowed."

"At the same time, you also need to sign a disclaimer; if you encounter an accident on Thunder Island, we do not need to bear any responsibility."

Ye Bai understood the guard's requirements.

After signing the disclaimer, the guard's body transformed directly into a piece of wood.

The entire Thunder Island was very large, with three big mountains.

The place was rugged with strange rocks, each one twisted and winding.

Violent thunder fell incessantly, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The Water Qilin Beast strolled along very elegantly; it seemed not to fear the wild thunder at all.

The wild thunder struck down from the sky, directly avoiding the Water Qilin Beast.

This was the Water Qilin Beast's ability to seek advantages and avoid harm.

"Water Qilin Beast, let's find a place suitable for the Thunder Rabbit to evolve."

Ye Bai patted the Water Qilin Beast's head and said.

The Water Qilin Beast was an auspicious beast; it could naturally find a location suitable for the Thunder Rabbit's evolution.

Not long after, the Water Qilin Beast stopped in a remote canyon.

This canyon was covered in Thunder Stone, and streaks of electricity fell from the high sky, striking heavily toward the ground.

This was how Thunder Stone was conceived.

"This is indeed a good place for the Thunder Rabbit to evolve. Thank you so much, Water Qilin Beast."

"Come out, Thunder Rabbit."

One by one, plump and sturdy Thunder Rabbits appeared.

At this moment, Ye Bai also took out Zhang Lingxue's research materials and began to flip through them quickly.

Sure enough, the teacher's research direction was different from his own.

The evolutionary form the teacher researched was called the Thunder Spirit Rabbit, which was to transform the Thunder Rabbit into an elemental creature.

This idea was very bold, yet very reasonable.

The most important thing is that this does not require the use of a Tier 6 Leidian Jinghe.

The Thunder Rabbits have blue pupils, and the fur all over their bodies is blue-purple.

They look at Ye Bai one by one with unkind expressions.

Their emotions are also somewhat agitated.

Ever since they joined the Logistics Department, many of their companions have been taken away by humans.

According to the scenes described by the companions who survived, humans are using the Thunder Rabbit clan to conduct a very evil experiment.

Many of their kin could not withstand the high-intensity electric current and were blown apart alive, exploding into fragments.

Therefore, the Thunder Rabbit clan all want to resist the humans.

"It seems you don't seem to welcome me, but your entire clan was created by me."

"The evolution experiments for the Positive Electric Rabbit and Negative Electric Rabbit were led by me."

"What, do you want to kill me?"

"Today is a great day, and I was planning to arrange a full-body checkup for you all."

"What form do you want to evolve into?"

"Thunder Spirit Rabbit? Thunder God Rabbit? Or Raging Thunder Rabbit? I am giving you the chance to choose."

"By the way, if you have time to be hostile toward me, why not turn your heads and look behind you?"

Dahui appears behind them, holding the Thunder God Axe high.

It has already put on a suit of thunder armor and looks exceptionally imposing.

Upon seeing this, the Thunder Rabbits immediately retracted their malice, slid to their knees in front of Dahui, and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Alright, since you are all so spirited, I am relieved."

"Dahui, begin."

"Use the Thunder God Axe to channel the electric current."

Ye Bai had this idea from the very beginning.

Death God Society.

The leader, Death God, is using an Eternal Pointer to point toward the direction where Dahui is located.

His complexion has become even more ashen, looking like a candle in the wind.

Death energy radiates from his body, and his age spots have become even more unsightly.

"Finally, through the Eternal Pointer, I have found your location, Thunder Chinchilla."

"I am about to die, so it is time to come find you."

"Death God also misses you very much; I am very curious how to seize more lifespan and live another life."

"When I was young, I did not fear death, but now that I am old, I have discovered how precious lifespan is."

"Every minute and every second cannot be wasted."

"Because time is like grains of sand, slipping gently through my fingertips; for every second I live longer, the sand quietly falls."

"I have reached the end of my rope, and everything no longer matters."

"Death God, my Soul will be mortgaged directly to you after I die."

"In the final battle, you still need to put in a great deal of effort."

"I know you have also been coveting the Soul of the Thunder Chinchilla; I promise to give its Soul to you."

The figure of Death God appears in mid-air.

It seems very curious about how the Death God Society will make arrangements next.

"Arrangements?"

"You are overthinking it; I am about to die, so why would I still care about this organization?"

"This organization exists because of me and will die because of me."

"I have already given them too many chances, but they do not cherish them; every time they search for the Thunder Chinchilla, they are just perfunctory with me."

"Do they think that this old man is already useless?"

The Death God leader sneered.

Death God sighed slightly, raised a finger, and pressed it heavily against its contractor.

Death energy is being absorbed along its fingertip.

The originally hunched back suddenly straightened a bit, and the white-haired, aged face also became a bit younger.
