Chapter 662: Still Not Giving Up

What exactly is it? Tell me, maybe I can do something about it? Don't worry, I won't act recklessly.

The more Du Yan refused to speak, the more curious Ye Liuyun became.

"Sigh! Alright, I'll tell you." Du Yan also saw that if he didn't speak, Ye Liuyun would get anxious.

"What we're talking about is the Food Star Beast! That kind of creature, when large enough, can swallow an entire star island continent whole! Plus they live in groups—would you dare provoke them?"

"In the Fog Sea?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Hey, we have them right outside." Du Yan pointed in the direction for Ye Liuyun.

He used his Divine Sense to probe over there, and indeed discovered several strange ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts look like lions, but their eyes and mouths are much larger than a lion's. They appear rather cute, not very fierce.

Their whole body is the color of mist, a grayish haze. Small ears, short tail—if they hide motionless in the Fog Sea, they are absolutely hard to spot.

These few Food Star Beasts are much smaller than the warship, constantly running around it, occasionally glancing over, as if they were racing the warship for fun.

"They don't look fierce at all!" Ye Liuyun saw their appearance and behavior were rather cute, with no sign of ferocity.

"Yeah! This kind of ferocious beast is very curious and usually doesn't attack moving objects. They even actively avoid the warship. In the Fog Sea, some Food Star Beast cubs often run around the warship playing."

Du Yan paused, then continued: "But if you think they're not fierce, you're dead wrong. Don't believe me? Try killing one, and immediately a large group of Venerable-rank Food Star Beasts will come after you."

Li Sanniang also said: "These guys will never actively provoke you; even if you ram your ship into them, they'll actively dodge. But if you really provoke them, you'll learn what the true overlord of the Fog Sea is!"

Aizi added: "Moreover, their sense of smell is extremely sharp; they can track your scent from hundreds of thousands of units away, then relentlessly hunt you down."

"Huh..." Ye Liuyun stared blankly at the few Food Star Beasts outside.

Those few Food Star Beasts are obviously only at the Heavenly Gang Realm; they should be very easy to catch.

"What effect does their blood have on bloodlines?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

"They improve bloodline quality and strengthen bloodline power. They're the best resource for enhancing bloodlines! A barrel of Food Star Beast blood can sell for a sky-high price!" Li Sanniang introduced.

Everyone knows that in cultivation, the most important thing is bloodline aptitude.

Good bloodline aptitude means faster realm advancement. Therefore, enhancing bloodline is something every Martial Cultivator needs.

"Even with money, there's nowhere to buy it—who would dare offend this thing? You haven't seen it, but a large Food Star Beast can easily swallow an island the size of Wolf Tooth Island." Du Yan worried that Ye Liuyun would have ideas about attacking these Food Star Beasts.

"Don't even think about putting them into your Storage Ring—this thing will directly swallow your Storage Ring as well." Li Sanniang also reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Uh... good thing you said that early; I was just thinking about moving them in there!" Ye Liuyun laughed embarrassedly.

Du Yan exclaimed in shock upon hearing that: "You're crazy? That thing can't be contained by anything—it can even gnaw through the void. It can eat anything!"

"Commendable courage!" Bojiao looked at Ye Liuyun with amusement, rare for him to say a few words!

Li Sanniang also laughed: "Food Star Beasts at the Heavenly Gang Realm haven't fully grown; their blood quality is low and doesn't fetch a price. Only Venerable-rank blood is valuable."

"Then how do we capture it to take its blood?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"Capture? Usually we just kill it outright to take the blood, then see if you can escape the Fog Sea!"

Du Yan was speaking when suddenly, a patch of mist flickered on their left ship's side.

Ye Liuyun and everyone's Divine Sense swept over it, and a massive creature appeared in everyone's Divine Sense.

Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense, then finally saw the full appearance of that massive creature.

"Food Star Beast! A Venerable-rank Food Star Beast!" Du Yan reminded Ye Liuyun.

The entire warship, before it, was like a tiny ant.

Whoo!

The enormous Venerable-rank Food Star Beast let out a cry, and those few Food Star Beast cubs immediately turned and followed it.

Yet that cry nearly made Ye Liuyun and the others vomit blood from the shock, each of their souls trembling violently.

After a moment, Du Yan said to Ye Liuyun: "See? This is a Venerable-rank Food Star Beast! Do you still want to go capture and kill it?"

Bojiao also firmly said: "Without Venerable-rank strength, don't even think about it!"

Ye Liuyun had just steadied his spirit as well. Watching the Food Star Beasts run off, he had no intention of giving up.

There will always be a way! Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

How does this thing grow so big? He couldn't help but ask aloud.

No natural enemies, it can eat anything! Du Yan simply replied.

Everyone looked at Ye Liuyun's flickering gaze and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Keep an eye on him! Du Yan sent a mental transmission to everyone. He really feared Ye Liuyun wouldn't give up.

In the following time, Ye Liuyun often stayed in the control room, observing the Food Star Beast cubs outside in the Fog Sea.

He discovered that these Food Star Beasts are actually quite timid. Even if he ran onto the deck, they would scare these big guys away.

But toward immobile objects, their courage is great. And indeed they eat anything.

Ye Liuyun personally witnessed several Food Star Beast cubs devour a damaged warship. Even some Martial Cultivator corpses, they'd suck them straight into their bellies.

Ye Liuyun also carefully observed the Food Star Beast's internal structure with his Golden Pupil, discovering that no matter what this ferocious beast eats, once inside it is rapidly broken down into energy to fuel its growth.

Gradually, a bold plan formed in Ye Liuyun's mind.

"Follow the little Food Star Beasts back to their den, find a Venerable-rank Food Star Beast, let it swallow you, then take its blood from inside. First half-kill it, then use Soul control to make it leave the herd, then kill your way out from inside. Finally, burn off your scent with Golden Crow Holy Fire to escape."

However, the first step of his plan is hard to carry out.

These Food Star Beasts are especially sensitive to Spatial Power.

Ye Liuyun tried several times, approaching them through the void, but they detected him in advance and fled far away.

It seems these Food Star Beasts innately understand Spatial Power.

For this, he even provoked Li Sanniang and the others into mocking him.

He even used the "playing dead" trick, but it couldn't fool them. These Food Star Beasts innately can distinguish between dead and living things.
