Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 694 For the Seas!

"As expected of the East China Sea, it's truly rich in resources!"

Bai Qi looked at the numerous mineral deposits that had been remarked on the map and smiled with satisfaction.

"But how did you two find so many mineral deposits? Do you perhaps possess the abilities of treasure-hunting rats?"

"Hmph! To destroy someone, you first make them mad. You're so obsessed with mining, one day..."

The Green Shrimp snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, but before he could finish speaking, a long sword was placed against his head, and he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"Actually, it's because I have the ability to sense different fluctuations on the seabed that I know the location of so many mineral deposits."

The Hollow Claw Crab reluctantly revealed the truth, saying, "Now that you know the location of these mineral deposits, please release my brother!"

"Release your brother?"

Bai Qi glanced at the green demon shrimp and said, "When did I ever say such a thing?"

"Damn it! Humans really are untrustworthy!"

The Hollow Claw Crab was filled with resentment, while the Green Devil Shrimp was surging with all its might, clearly intending to fight to the death.

But before the two sea monsters could make a move, they were directly suppressed by Alpha's Annihilation Sword Domain.

"Don't be so impulsive, I have no intention of killing you."

Bai Qi grinned and said, "Interested in joining our Deep Sea Alliance?"

The Green Shrimp's abilities are one thing, but the Sky Claw Crab's ability to use vibrations to find mineral deposits is quite impressive.

In fact, the Federation's mechanical system also has a similar setting, and Bai Qi's previous mining map was also derived from this, but it is obviously much worse than the Sky Claw Crab.

If they can bring these two in, they won't have to worry about resources anymore.

"Join the Deep Sea Alliance? Hmph! We are not the kind of people who fawn over the powerful and have no self-respect. The beasts of the South China Sea are short-sighted, inviting wolves into our house and abandoning the peace of the seas. Once our strength has increased, we will surely wipe out you invaders!"

Green Shrimp was clearly getting into character, completely disregarding his current predicament, and even more so, he made the Thirteen Protectors indignant.

If they weren't outmatched, Mingdian and the others said they would definitely go up and give them a good beating.

That's incorrect!

Hearing Green Shrimp's words, Bai Qi's smile grew even brighter. He said, "We formed the Deep Sea Alliance not to disrupt peace in the seas, but to eliminate the barriers between the four major seas."

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then said, "It should be known that the seas are one family, and development depends on everyone. Now that the four seas are divided, tribes are taking the opportunity to invade and spread deadly viruses in the seas, intending to destroy the peace that has lasted for many years."

"Although our Human Federation is surrounded by external enemies and it is difficult to protect itself, we cannot sit idly by. That is why we defied the world and formed the Deep Sea Alliance, in order to drive out the external enemies, restore the seas, and let the seas return to the glorious scene of peace and prosperity of the past."

"Now that the Western Sea has joined our Deep Sea Alliance, the return of peace to the seas is just around the corner. You two are righteous and chivalrous; how can you sit idly by and watch the Eastern Sea continue to drift away from peace?"

Bai Qi's series of words stunned the Green Demon Shrimp and the Hollow Claw Crab, leaving them frozen in place, unsure how to respond. Bai Qi himself was in the same predicament.

Awoo awoo?

(Human, were you serious just now?)

"That's nonsense."

Bai Qi pursed his lips. This Deep Sea Alliance was something that Dinghai Legend and his group had created. He himself was simply dragged into it and didn't think much about it.

I figured these two idiots were actually quite useful, so I figured I'd just fool them a bit.

Awoo awoo!

(Humans, when it comes to dogs, you're the best!)

Beta silently gave a thumbs-up with his indestructible body, his eyes full of disdain. Bai Qi seemed oblivious, simply staring silently at the Green Demon Shrimp and the Hollow Claw Crab.

After a long while, the Green Shrimp and the Hollow Claw Crab finally made their choice. They came to Bai Qi and said, "Although we still have no good feelings towards humans, for the future of the sea, we are willing to join the Deep Sea Alliance."

"The fact that both of you are so understanding and sensible is a blessing for the sea area!"

Bai Qi grinned upon hearing this and said, "For the sake of the seas!"

"For the sake of the seas!"

The two legends reached a consensus instantly, and the tense atmosphere eased.

"Human powerhouses..."

Just call me Bai Qi.

"Alright then, Bai Qi."

The Hollow Claw Crab glanced at the map marked by Shuk, a hint of apology flashing in its eyes, and said, "Actually, part of the mineral map we gave you earlier was fake. If you went there, you might not be able to come back."

"As expected."

Bai Qi shrugged, showing no surprise whatsoever, while Shuke opportunely marked the mineral deposits with different colors.

"You...you knew all along?"

"Language can lie, but the soul cannot."

Jerry silently opened his eyes, a faint image of a balance scale flashing in his dark gold pupils.

Having inherited the power of the guardian of the underworld, Jerry was already able to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Although his effect on legends was somewhat weaker, with the help of Shuk's precise data analysis, he could guess with a high degree of accuracy.

"I see."

The Hollow Claw Crab and the Green Devil Shrimp exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wry smiles.

No wonder the South China Sea chose to ally with humanity; the wisdom of these humans is truly remarkable.

"May I ask, what is the purpose of your search for these mineral deposits?"

The Hollow Claw Crab paused for a moment, then said, "If possible, I hope you will not over-exploit these mineral deposits. If the marine ecosystem is destroyed, a large number of sea creatures will lose their homes and die a violent death."

It seems that more chuunibyou sea monsters might die because of your influence?

Bai Qi glanced at Gamma, who was silently collecting the sea beast corpses, and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything that's detrimental to our survival."

"Moreover, this is for the sake of long-term peace in the seas."

As he spoke, Bai Qi briefly told the two sea beasts about his search for metals with stellar power and the death virus.

"So that's how it is. You entered the East China Sea for this reason, which led us to misunderstand."

The Hollow Claw Crab and the Green Demon Shrimp looked ashamed and said, "Luckily you are strong, otherwise we would have become sinners in the sea if we had accidentally killed you."

As they spoke, the two sea beasts bowed deeply to Bai Qi in apology, and then said, "Although I don't know exactly how you solved the problem of the dead beasts, there is a metal that might meet your requirements."

"Oh?"

……

chug chu...

With a series of booming sounds, chunks of black metal ingots were spat out by the Twin Towers and landed in front of Bai Qi.

"This is the special metal you were talking about?"

Bai Qi tapped the metal ingot with his finger. It felt warm to the touch and had a texture somewhat like jade. Bai Qi worried that if he used too much force, he might break it.

"That's it, that's it."

The Hollow Claw Crab nodded slightly and said, "This metal can absorb and store the power of stars. Although it cannot be preserved indefinitely, it dissipates very slowly."

"It can absorb the power of stars?"

Bai Qi suddenly understood and looked at the cordyceps. The cordyceps immediately understood and released the power of the Azure Sun to cover the metal ingot.

Just as the Empty Claw Crab said, the power of the Azure Sun merged with the metal ingot as soon as they came into contact, just like water and milk blending together.

Then, dots of light gradually appeared on the originally black metal surface, looking like stars dotting the black night sky from a distance.

"It really works?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he stopped the cordyceps from outputting energy, while Shu Ke immediately conjured up a bunch of instruments to start detecting the state of the metal.

"It has indeed become a star attribute. Although energy is also being lost, judging from the current state, the ratio of input to loss should be about one to one hundred."

Shuke picked up the metal and easily kneaded it into various shapes, saying, "The metal itself is rather soft, so we can consider making it into an alloy to increase its hardness."

"Taking all factors into account, this metal could be used to make the sun and moon."

"The vision has become too narrow, too limited."

Bai Qi held up a finger and shook it, saying, "Since it can be mass-produced, then of course it should be made into a weapon."

"arms?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Shuke suddenly realized what was happening, and Alpha and the other pets also gradually understood.

The Dead Beasts are clearly just one of the research projects of the Death Table. If the Death Table finds a way to preserve the intelligence of the Dead Beasts, the Sun and Moon may become very difficult to use.

"However, if it is made into a weapon, the power of the stars may be affected by the energy impact of firearms, thus affecting its effectiveness."

Shuke frowned slightly and raised his own questions.

"Who said it had to be made into a firearm?"

Bai Qi pointed to the longsword in Alpha's hand, feeling a clarity in his mind that had never been clearer than before.

If firearms don't work, just make them into melee weapons, that's what Death Knights are like anyway.

No wonder the Death Table was so fond of cold weapons; it's probably for similar reasons.

"I see."

Shuke nodded slightly and immediately established several projects, almost all of which were alloy manufacturing plans and various cold weapon design drawings, including even the completion plan for the Baiqi Secret Realm Tower.

They've become entangled with the Death Table, and now that they have a way to deal with it, they naturally want to use it for themselves first.

"Gentlemen, your discovery today has been of great help to us. If we can successfully drive away the dead beasts, you will definitely be awarded medals."

Bai Qi walked to the Green Demon Shrimp and the Hollow Claw Crab and said solemnly, "Therefore, for the future of the sea and even the whole world, I urge you two to continue searching for this metal ore, as much as possible."

"Everything, for the sake of the seas!"

"For the sake of the seas!"

The Green Shrimp and the Hollow Claw Crab straightened their faces, imitated Bai Qi by pounding their chests, and their eyes gleamed with a sense of responsibility.

"Acha, do you think Brother Qi has ever lied to us like this before?"

Seeing that Bai Qi had completely fooled the two legendary sea beasts, Bai Yuxiao quietly moved closer to Bai Qiucha and asked.

"There shouldn't be... right?"

Bai Qiucha smiled wryly, clearly not very confident.

From the moment he met Bai Qi, he seemed to have never been able to keep up with Bai Qi's train of thought; perhaps he had been fooled at times.

But who cares...
