Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 658 Mysterious Island

First came the Five Heroes of the Deep Sea, then the Bay of Fatigue. With so many familiar figures and names appearing at the same time, Bai Qi was clearly starting to lose his composure.

"May I ask how this name came about? Did it spread from human pirates?"

Bai Qi gathered his thoughts and asked.

"Pirates? I'm not very familiar with that term, but back when we were still active in the world, people called themselves adventurers."

Octopus Star shook his head and said, "As for the name Tired Bay, it seems to be because no matter how hard humans think, they can't find a way to escape."

"Okay, that makes a lot of sense."

Bai Qi's lips twitched, and he reluctantly accepted this explanation.

"But since that place is so dangerous, wouldn't it be too risky to let the sea creatures go looking for it? Why don't I go find it myself?"

Bai Qi was also very interested in the place where countless adventurers had been buried.

"No, that place only affects humans, it doesn't affect us sea beasts much. But if you want to go, Minister Bai, it's not impossible. From your human perspective, the scenery there is quite nice."

Octopus Star said.

"Alright, consider it a trip to relax. However, I can't guarantee that I'll find what you're looking for, Minister Bai. I'll have someone search the Crystal Palace's treasury."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, while Ming Dian, who had been standing obediently to the side, immediately volunteered, saying, "I've been to that place before, I'll lead the way for you, Big Brother."

"That's good, young people should definitely get together and participate in activities more often."

Octopus Star nodded slightly and said, "However, since you've come from afar, why don't you rest and have some food before setting off?"

Octopus Star paused, looked at Nicholas, and asked, "Mr. Nicholas, what do you think?"

Nicholas did not respond to Octopus Star's question. He remained serious, his eyes bright and alert, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the Five Elders looked at each other, wondering what they had said wrong.

But soon, a soft snoring sound came from Nicholas and drifted into everyone's ears.

"this……"

Seeing that Nicholas had actually fallen asleep, even the Five Elders, who had lived for countless years, were somewhat surprised. Bai Qi even kicked Nicholas hard.

Although the previous business meetings were really boring, you can't actually fall asleep, can you?

It's one thing to be asleep, but at least you're sleeping with your eyes open. But to snore like that is just too much.

He's a demigod, after all; he should at least pay attention to his image.

"Hmm? You're done talking?"

Nicholas snapped out of his daze and asked blankly.

"It just ended."

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle. Then he looked at the Five Elders and said, "Let's not rush to eat. Let's go to Tired Bay first. I have something else to ask you all when we get back."

Bai Qi was quite looking forward to it, as it concerned his seventh pet beast.

"Alright, let's wait for you guys to come back before we talk about it."

Octopus Star looked at Dark Lightning and said, "You guys, make sure you treat Lord Nicholas and Minister White well, and don't neglect them."

"clear!"

The Thirteen Protectors nodded repeatedly, their faces serious.

He wouldn't dare to be negligent towards others, but even if the Five Elders didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to be negligent towards Bai Qi and his group.

After all, they were once thoroughly defeated by Alpha with just one sword. Back then, Alpha was the king, but now that it's a legend, they dare not do it again.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Five Elders took the lead in leaving, followed by the Twelve Legendary Sea Beasts.

As the management team of the Deep Sea Alliance, they are very busy right now. If they hadn't sensed Nicholas's demigod aura, they would hardly have been able to gather together like this.

"Brother, shall we set off now? It's still quite a distance from here to Pais Bay."

"Then let's set off as soon as possible."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, while Zhuge Chen waved his hand and said, "I won't go; I still need to go to the site for inspection."

"All right."

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't insist and followed Ming Dian and his group outside.

"By the way, where are Dinghai Legend and the others?"

"Brother, are you talking about Councilor Xiao? He's probably gone to explore the deeper parts of the sea right now, and he probably won't be back for a few days."

Ming Dian asked, "What's up, Boss? You need to see Councilor Xiao for something?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually."

Bai Qi shook his head, looked around, and asked, "Besides Councilor Xiao, do the other councilors usually show up?"

"No, apart from Councilor Xiao occasionally coming over when he returns from an expedition, the other councilors rarely appear, and the Five Elders also rarely appear. It's mostly our father and the others who are in charge."

Well, including the speaker, these members of parliament are indeed all hands-off managers, only responsible for taking the lead but not for anything else.

Gee...

Suddenly, I felt less guilty about his previous similar behaviors.

As the psychic said, the distance from Crystal Palace to Pause Bay was very far, and even though the psychic traveled at full speed, it was almost dusk when it finally arrived.

A mysterious mist shrouded the sea, and under the orange-red sunset, faint golden ripples spread across its surface.

In the distance, a small island is faintly visible, with white sand beaches surrounding it blending with the surrounding seawater, presenting a tranquil and mysterious scene.

"This is Peisi Bay? It doesn't look particularly special."

Bai Qi squinted and looked around for a moment. Apart from feeling that the visibility was a bit poor, he didn't find anything special.

"There's nothing special about what we see now; we'll have to go inside to find out."

Mingdian explained, "This island is special; it interferes with human perception, which is why those humans couldn't come out after entering Tired Bay."

"I see, it's similar to magnetic field interference."

Bai Qi understood immediately and asked, "But how do you sea beasts freely enter and leave this place?"

"Our marine mammals perceive things differently than humans, so the impact is minimal."

Mingdian and the other thirteen bodyguards exchanged glances, smiled, and said, "But you're already a legend, so it won't affect you much."

"Um."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and followed the Thirteen Bodyguards into the Tired Bay area.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Qi entered, he sensed that the surrounding sea area seemed to be somewhat abnormal. His mental power, vision, and even hearing all seemed to have some errors.

Crackling.

(Boss, there's something on that island interfering with our perception, but it's very weak.)

"I understand, that must be the special feature that the Netherworld Lightning mentioned."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, glanced at the small island in front of him, and then looked away.

Upon entering Pais Bay, Bai Qi already saw several large ships stranded on the reefs. Judging from the materials, they should be products of the Federation.

But the reef was very obvious, and there was nothing around it that would impede navigation, as if the ships had crashed straight into it.

Needless to say, these people must have been interfered with by that special power, causing them to misjudge and die here.

Such cases were more numerous the closer one got to the island. When Bai Qi arrived at the beach, there were even several ships that had crashed into and sunk on the ships of their predecessors.

"It seems this place holds more secrets than I thought."

Bai Qi looked around. These ships were from different eras, but they were able to sail here, which clearly indicated that they possessed certain navigational capabilities.

Moreover, considering the history of human development, those who are able to go out to explore must have brought beast tamers with them. If even they cannot go out, it is probably not only affecting human perception, but also affecting the pets.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi summoned all six of his pets.

"Shuke, are you able to detect data about this island?"

Bai Qi was the first to ask Shu Ke.

"Electromagnetic interference detected, please wait."

Shuke looked around, and then a sphere extended from his body, quickly flying into the air. Immediately afterwards, an overhead view appeared in front of Bai Qi.

"Why is it so blurry?"

Bai Qi looked at the distorted screen, which resembled an old-fashioned black-and-white television, and asked.

"I've already deployed anti-jamming monitoring satellites, but it seems it's still not working."

Shuke shook his head and said, "It seems that the interference in this place is not simply electromagnetic."

"I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Jerry opened his eyes and spat out dozens of dead souls, which flew off in various directions.

But after waiting for a long time, none of the departed souls returned.

"As expected, this place can interfere with mental connections. I've lost contact with those wandering souls."

Jerry and Shuke exchanged a glance, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "Beast Tamer, how come you've discovered this strange place again?"

"I didn't find this myself; Mingdian and the others brought me here."

Bai Qi shrugged. Modern technology and spiritual perception couldn't see through the environment here, no wonder so many ships sank here.

"By the way, Nether Lightning, you mentioned earlier that your sea creatures have different methods of perception. Where exactly is that difference?"

Upon hearing this, Mingdian swayed his slender body and said, "We mostly rely on our skin's ability to sense seawater to make judgments, but there are other ways of sensing that can help us avoid being affected by this place."

"Actually, it's not always avoidable. I've seen quite a few low-level sea creatures get trapped and die here."

The bloodthirsty manta ray pointed to some animal skeletons in the depths of the sea below and explained.

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, suddenly losing some interest in the gains from this place.

Those trapped here are clearly not very strong, and the things they left behind, it's obvious, aren't anything good.

It seems the only way is to go back to the Crystal Palace and search their treasury.

While weapons or armor would be ideal, he wouldn't mind something like a balance scale.

Anyway, possession is basically a standard feature of equipment systems, so let it be a bit weird.
