Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 456 First Glimpse of the Sea

Under Jiang Guan's guidance, Bai Qi finally met Mo Guan, who was somewhat surprised by Bai Qi's arrival.

"Bai Qi? I just heard from Lao Qin a couple of days ago that you were planning to come here. How come you're here so soon?"

"I was worried about being late for the start of school, so I rushed on the way."

Bai Qi smiled. Although Gusu City was not a coastal city, it was located in the southern part of the Federation. With Delta's ability to traverse the void, he arrived in just two days at full speed.

"That's true, you're still a student."

Master Mo Guan stroked his beard and suddenly sighed, "It's really hard to imagine that someone who just got his Beast Tamer license half a year ago is now a sixth-level master. I'm getting old, really old~"

"Master Mo Guan, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Bai Qidao.

Although Bai Qi had only met Master Mo Guan before when he was testing Master Mo Guan's information, he was still aware of Master Mo Guan's reputation.

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

This praise is not self-proclaimed, but earned through hard work and dedication.

"With Bai Chuanqi here, there's no need for any learning; I can only teach you some combat experience."

Mo Guan stood up and said, "I'm going to patrol the coastline now, would you like to come with me?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Bai Qi nodded. Although Jiang Guan had told him a lot, it was only a general overview of the South Abyss Coast. He would have to get the specifics from Mo Guan.

The two walked out of the office together, but Mo Guan did not go out. Instead, he led Bai Qi into a large hall.

The hall was spacious, but apart from a large mechanical door in the center, it was completely empty.

However, this also allowed Bai Qi to notice that the mechanical door was different.

"The Gate to the Stars?"

Bai Qi looked at Mo Guan.

"That's right. Unexpected situations often occur on the Southern Abyss Coast. In order to ensure timely support, the Federation specially installed a Star Gate here."

Mo Guan nodded, and after verifying his identity, the Starry Sky suddenly opened.

"Let's go, I'll show you the scenery of the sea."

Bai Qi nodded and followed Mo Guan into the Starry Sky Gate.

After passing through the Star Gate, Bai Qi immediately smelled a salty, fishy scent unique to the seaside. Looking around, he found that he had arrived at the high wall he had seen earlier.

"This is the front line of defense of the Namyeon Coast, the boundary wall."

Mo Guan patted the wall next to him and said, "If it weren't for this wall blocking the way, this place would have been taken over by some amphibious sea monsters long ago."

"Are sea monsters really that aggressive?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly. He had always heard that the ferocious beast tribes often entered the Federation territory to cause trouble. He didn't expect that the sea area was the same.

"Although we haven't conducted any specific surveys, even the currently known area is three to four times the size of the continent and more than ten times the size of the Federation. How many extraordinary creatures do you think could be hiding there?"

Mo Guan smiled and said, "Competition in the sea is fierce, so some amphibians will come ashore to look for food. Although their level is generally not very high, they can still pose a threat to ordinary people."

"So, this is how we built this one city wall?"

"Of course not."

Mo Guan's expression turned serious. He said, "The sea is just too vast. No one knows when the sea monsters will come ashore. If we don't prepare in advance, we won't have time to deal with any emergency."

So that's how it is; it's to prevent problems before they occur.

However, with such a small number of people, it seems a bit insufficient if one or two legendary sea monsters were to appear.

Just then, a huge sea shrimp with a sturdy shell and two ferocious giant pincers emerged from the sea and headed straight for the boundary wall.

Is this aura from a legendary creature?

Holy crap, I just arrived in the sea and already encountered a legendary sea monster siege! Is my luck even that good?!

Furthermore, Master Mo, aren't you all a little too calm?

"Don't worry, this is the legend of Dinghai, not an invasion of sea monsters."

Mo Guan smiled, and Bai Qi also noticed that a human was standing on the head of the giant shrimp.

"That's the legendary water-based hero, 'Sea-Stabilizing' Xiao Mu?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised and said.

"That's right. Xiao Chuanqi is active in the sea year-round, and rarely even returns to the Federation's inland areas. He stays here to suppress the rebellious sea beasts. Otherwise, we alone wouldn't be able to control this vast sea area."

Mo Guan smiled, and Xiao Mu had already arrived in front of the Boundary Wall. A powerful aura swept over them, and the progress of the Evolution Egg, which had not moved for a long time, began to change rapidly.

As expected, the pets of the titled Legendary are quite different from ordinary Legendary pets.

"Master Mo, what kind of creature is Xiao Chuanqi's pet? It doesn't seem to be recorded in the bestiary?"

Bai Qi asked Mo Guan with some curiosity.

"The pet encyclopedia doesn't record information about legendary creatures, so it's normal that you don't know about them."

Mo Guan said, "This is Xiao Chuanqi's unique pet beast, the Overturning Sea Lobster, a dragon blood species. In terms of combat power in the sea alone, it is rare to find an opponent in this Federation."

"Overturning the sea... lobster?"

Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly. The name "Overturning the Sea" was quite domineering, the dragon bloodline was good, and the shrimp was fine too.

But this lobster...

Hmm, I'm suddenly a little hungry.

"Master Mo Guan, I've checked the surrounding waters. There aren't any large sea monsters approaching for the time being. I'll leave the rest to you."

Xiao Mu jumped off the giant shrimp and landed on the boundary wall, speaking to Mo Guan.

"You're too kind, Xiao Chuanqi. It was just my duty."

Mo Guan nodded, then pointed to Bai Qi beside him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Bai Qi, who has come to the Southern Abyss Sea for training."

"I recognize this young and handsome man who is Minghuang's disciple, the youngest sixth-level beast tamer, the father of spirit tamers, and a genius inventor of the Federation."

Xiao Mu smiled gently and said, "What a pity that such a promising talent was snatched up by that guy Ming Huang. It seems I really should make more connections."

"Xiao Chuanqi is too kind. Bai Qi still needs more guidance from the seniors."

Bai Qi bowed slightly, showing great respect to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's willingness to stay here year-round to suppress sea beasts is highly respectable, even disregarding his legendary status.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest for a while, and then I'll talk to you in detail when I have time."

Xiao Mu was clearly tired. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mo Guan, he put away the giant shrimp and quickly left.

"Being a legendary figure with this title is really not easy."

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but think of his teacher, Bai Heguang. Although they had only known each other for half a year, he had hardly ever seen Bai Heguang take a break.

Perhaps that's why their generation was able to grow up in peace.

"That's how it is; you'll get used to it eventually."

Mo Guan smiled faintly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you for a stroll on the sea."

"it is good."

The two descended the boundary wall, and Mo Guan summoned his pet beast, but it wasn't the golden-armored giant spirit; instead, it was a giant snail carrying iron armor.

[Name]: Steel-horned Iron-bellied Snail

[Attributes]: Steel, Water

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Monarch

[Introduction]: Living on the seabed year-round has given the steel-horned, iron-bellied snail a strong defense; its seemingly fragile shell can withstand the vast majority of impacts.

……

This was a creature that Bai Qi had never seen before, and the Evolutionary Egg was clearly very interested in it, prompting Bai Qi to step forward and make contact.

"Huh? This is a mechanical weapon?"

After bypassing the enormous body, Bai Qi saw some mechanical parts hanging on both sides of the steel-horned, iron-bellied snail's shell.

"That's right, these are custom-made Dinghai weapons by the military, specifically provided to soldiers and beast tamers in the Southern Abyss Sea."

"Dinghai? Is it named after the legendary title of Dinghai?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood, and the image of Jiang Guan's set of weapons involuntarily came to mind.

The meaning of "suppressing the heavens and stabilizing the seas" couldn't be clearer.

Mo Guan activated the Zhenhai Armor, and a thick layer of mechanical armor covered the shell of the Steel Horn Iron Belly Snail.

"Come on up."

Mo Guan took the lead and climbed onto a seat inside the armor, signaling Bai Qi to follow. Then, the Steel-Horned Iron-Bellied Snail led the two into the sea.

The steel-horned iron-bellied snail moves very slowly on land, but it moves very fast in the sea, quickly leaving the beach and diving into the ocean.

"Sea monsters are indeed larger than land-based ferocious beasts."

Bai Qi looked out the porthole at the long fish swimming by, and couldn't help but sigh.

"These aren't considered big; you'll understand once you enter the deep sea."

Mo Guan said, "The sea area is rich in resources and there are no external enemies, so the sea monsters are much larger than inside, and this is even more exaggerated the deeper you go in the sea."

At this point, a look of relief appeared on Mo Guan's face.

"Fortunately, most sea monsters do not have the ability or desire to go ashore, otherwise the threat they pose to humans would probably be far greater than that of the ferocious beast tribes."

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon hearing this. Indeed, regardless of the sea beasts' specific combat strength, their size and number alone were enough.

As the steel-horned, iron-bellied snail continued its advance, the surrounding light grew dimmer, and the Zhenhai armed forces activated various detection instruments to monitor everything around them.

"We've arrived."

Mo Guan stopped the steel-horned iron-bellied snail, pointed to the rows of neatly arranged giant metal monuments not far away, and said, "Up to this point, it is the safe zone of the Southern Abyss Coast. These boundary markers will emit special frequencies to drive away some giant sea beasts, and at the same time, they will report the situation in the vicinity to us in real time."

"And what about the area ahead?"

Bai Qi understood, and then became curious about the world outside the boundary marker.

"Ahead lies a dangerous area where no one, except for legends, can guarantee their safety."

Mo Guan's expression turned serious. He said, "When you're training, remember not to leave the area marked by the boundary markers. If you accidentally wander in and encounter a giant sea beast, flee immediately. Do not linger in battle!"

"In sea warfare, sea monsters have an absolute advantage. You absolutely cannot take any chances, understand?"

"In the past, many people have ventured beyond the boundary marker out of greed for the abundant resources outside, but few have been able to return."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's ears immediately twitched.

"Are there abundant resources outside the boundary marker?"

Mo Guan nodded and said, "The sea beasts that can survive in that area can themselves be considered a mobile resource depot."

As he spoke, Mo Guan suddenly realized something and said, "Old Qin repeatedly told me that the main purpose of your trip was to broaden your experience, and you absolutely must not go outside the boundary marker, understand?"

"Yeah, yeah, I definitely won't go."

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, his face full of obedience.
