Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 895 - 558: Treasure Hunting Dolphin (2)
Previously on Beast Taming: My Intelligence System...
"Legend has it that Spiritual Power Gems hide within the bodies of these octopus demons."
Ye Bai turned his gaze to Hastar.
Hastar wriggled his form, appearing immensely thrilled. Upon learning the beasts held Spiritual Power Gems, his eyes gleamed brightly.
"Leave it to me, leave it to me, leave it to me."
He repeated "leave it to me" three times consecutively.
Truth be told, he held a rather positive view of these tentacle demons.
"Long ago, while playing with those evil eyes, I handled them just like this. I even dug out their eyes on purpose."
"This book came from peeling the eyelids of evil eyes to form the Ten Thousand Eyes Book, brimming with potent curse power."
All at once, a Yellow Robe Book materialized in Hastar’s grasp.
Hastar’s book was packed with countless eyes, giving off a deeply unsettling vibe.
"No need to explain it to me."
Ye Bai spoke, struggling to hide his queasiness, as the staring eyes filled him with a subtle dread.
"Lord of Yellow Robe."
"My servants, by the authority of the Lord of Yellow Robe, I order you to become part of me entirely."
"I, the Lord of Yellow Robe, ruler of eyes, command the eyeballs to rupture!"
Threads of malevolent energy poured out from the Ten Thousand Eyes Book.
With the curse expanding further, those dark tendrils descended onto the octopus demons.
Suddenly, sharp agony stabbed the octopus demons’ eyes, causing them to pop one after another.
In excruciating torment, the octopus demons then noticed their tentacles stirring on their own.
They jammed their tentacles into their sockets, ripping out the eyes by force.
The sea urchin demon watched in horror, shrinking back like a frightened child.
These octopus demons ranked as elite beings raised by the deep sea, yet they fell so effortlessly.
The sea urchin demons clutched their throats in panic.
Doesn’t this mean slaughtering them is no harder for these foes than squashing ants?
This realization plunged the sea urchin demon into deeper fear.
They huddled up quietly, falling utterly silent.
The octopus demons’ corpses rigidly extracted crystalline green shards from their brains.
Blood still clung faintly to those crystals.
They offered them up subserviently before their forms slowly descended to the seabed.
Such was the doomed end for these octopus demons—self-annihilation, turning into sustenance for the ocean depths.
In a sea teeming with Exotic Beasts, demand for octopus demon flesh would never run short.
"Don’t worry, these octopus demons still carry eggs inside."
"When the baby octopuses emerge, they’ll devour their parents’ remains."
"Demons aren’t so quick to spoil."
Hastar had it all planned out perfectly.
"What a haul of Spiritual Power Crystals—this spot is truly prime. Pan Hai, your world makes an ideal breeding site."
"That said, overusing my distortion magic might spawn twisted mutants here, so I’ll hold back from meddling too much."
Now flush with ample Divine Power, Hastar offered this solid justification.
"What’s our next target?"
"The ocean’s divine position, perhaps?"
Ye Bai asked Hastar and Pan Hai.
Having been Gods before, their insights mattered most.
"I recommend pursuing the divine position of the ocean."
"It holds immense value, pivotal for dominating this realm."
"Demons have already seeped deep into my world; they could erect a teleportation array, and a demon horde invasion might doom it to join the Abyss."
Pan Hai voiced his concern uneasily.
"Alright, let’s hunt down this divine position right away."
"But do you know how to pinpoint its location?"
"Don’t say you’ll guide us—I’ve lost faith in your skills."
"A born dimwit navigator trying to show the path? You joking?"
"Plotting to steer us into another trap?"
"You’ve outdone yourself this time, Pan Hai!"
Ye Bai’s sharp words floored Pan Hai.
"I’ve got it now, truly remembered—this one’s trustworthy."
Pan Hai abruptly remembered something key.
Ye Bai shot Pan Hai a sidelong look.
"What’s this fresh recall? You’re a mighty God—how’s your memory this awful?"
Pan Hai gestured, summoning an image of a dolphin-like Exotic Beast for all to see.
"This Exotic Beast is my special creation, the Treasure Hunting Dolphin. Its name reveals its role."
"I designed it at first to hunt down scattered God fragments and Divine Formats across the Star Realm."
This time around, Ye Bai cut in.
"Wait, get straight to the point—how exactly do we locate this Treasure Hunting Dolphin?"
Pan Hai abruptly turned evasive: "I truly can't recall now, especially since you interrupted me moments ago."
Ye Bai heard this and felt completely speechless.
Good lord, shifting the blame onto me—what sheer audacity!
Right then, Ye Bai's irritation showed clearly on his face.
"A dolphin expert at treasure hunting?"
"Come to think of it, just earlier, I caught a glimpse in the octopus demon's memories of a dolphin held captive—it must be the Treasure Hunting Dolphin you mentioned."
"That creature was enslaved by a Tier Nine Deep Sea Demon, forced to pull its carriage."
"The Deep Sea Demon commands numerous Tier Eight demon underlings, ruling like a local overlord."
Hearing Hastar's revelation, Pan Hai let out a furious chuckle.
"Does that beast even grasp its value? A Treasure Hunting Dolphin is a priceless gem anywhere it shows up, capable of navigating through the void itself."
"Countless acquaintances begged to purchase this Treasure Hunting Dolphin from me, yet I refused them all."
"And now, some lowly demon is squandering it."
Hastar chimed in further: "That's not all."
"I believe most of your Divine Status Fragments are held by that demon too."
"It's hunting down Divine Status Fragments, dreaming of ascending as the god of this realm."
Learning a demon lusted after his prized possessions, Pan Hai's rage intensified.
"Curse it, curse it—this is my world, built through my blood and sweat; how dare it claim it? Is that thing even fit?"
Ye Bai tossed in a sharp remark from the sidelines: "I'm not sure about its worthiness, but one fact stands clear: this world became mine the instant it transferred to me."
"That fiend eyeing my property—utterly outrageous!"
"Since it's gathered most of the Divine Status Fragments, we'll sneak into its den, rescue the Treasure Hunting Dolphin, and snatch back its hoard all at once."
Ye Bai's strategy was simple and direct, aiming to wrap up the mission fast before racing back to Blue Star.
Plenty of folks back on Blue Star eagerly awaited his arrival.
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, quit munching—why are you gorging like that!"
Ye Bai whipped out a pot and smacked it right on the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly's head.
Previously, unbeknownst to him, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly had hauled over the remains of the shattered sea urchin demon.
The Divine Farmer Ginseng had absorbed most of the sea urchin demon, leaving just a bit of its tempting flesh exposed.
One bite hooked the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly instantly.
Oh my, nothing had ever tasted this incredible before.
Juicy, tender, with a subtle salty tang—pure bliss.
As the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly feasted away, Ye Bai spotted it and delivered several swift punches.
The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly freaked out; it only craved a snack, so why the beating—such injustice!
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, you harboring some grudge there?"
"It's a demon, after all—who knows if it's toxic? What if it kills you?"
"You need to test stuff like this first to check for poison; scarfing it down blindly is dangerous."
Ye Bai then popped a chunk of sea urchin meat into his mouth without a second thought.
The flavor hit him like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned.
Crisp, sugary perfection—absolutely divine.
"This flavor is downright mind-blowing."
The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly shot Ye Bai a scornful glare.
You lectured against eating random sea urchin, yet here you are devouring it—hypocrite!
Ye Bai cleared his throat, then declared seriously, "I'm not like you; I've got full poison immunity."
