Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 215 Demon

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and began to understand why he had been able to receive so many spoils of war.

Because in the end he wiped out all the sea creatures and confiscated all their storage shells!

Although it is said that sea creatures are not good at crafting magical artifacts, remember, they are not good at it, not that they are incapable of it.

Therefore, people of royal blood from the sea, such as Hong Guang and Long Lu, would definitely be able to carry a storage shell on their person.

The spoils from the secret realm are all stored in these storage shells.

Jiang Chen had heard that in the human kingdoms, there were many dark beast tamers who smuggled important strategic materials such as magical artifacts and pills to the sea race in order to make huge profits!

This is a clear case of aiding the enemy and committing treason!

But there was no way around it; the profits were simply too high, enough to tempt these people to take the risk.

Now that all these people have fallen into the hands of the human race, the spoils in these storage shells naturally belong to Jiang Chen and the others!

This adventure through the secret realm features a skeleton army in the first level, an army of ghosts in the second level, and armored guardians in the third level—all of which are items that can be sold for a high price.

Now that the other sea race teams have fallen into human hands, the spoils of war from the other four sea races have also all fallen into human hands, which has suddenly piled up into a terrifying number!

Even if all the fallen team members were divided into three parts, Jiang Chen and the other surviving team members still received nearly 500 million!

Exploring and pioneering secret realms is indeed the primary path for beast tamers to make a fortune; this statement is truly accurate!

One danger, one opportunity!

For this opportunity, the exploration team sacrificed half of its members, a very heavy price to pay.

……

Jiang Chen opened the communication shell and found that he had received replies to the text messages he sent to several people before returning home, to let them know he was safe. The replies came from his father, Jian Qingqiu, Yan Mengmeng, Nangong Yan, and others.

Jiang Chen first sent a date invitation to his concubine Yan Mengmeng. After Yan Mengmeng happily agreed, Jiang Chen got up and dressed happily, heading towards his first wife Jian Qingqiu's dormitory.

First, he reports his secret adventure to his first wife, then he goes on a date and goes shopping with his second wife. Being handsome is so busy!

Just as Jiang Chen finished getting ready and stepped out of the dormitory, he heard the door open next to him. He looked and saw that it was his best friend of childhood, Nangong Yan.

Just as Nangong Yan was about to leave, he heard the door open next to him and was stunned when he saw the familiar figure. The next second, he rushed over and landed a solid punch on Jiang Chen's chest!

"Holy crap, bro, I've finally met you, you busy guy!"

Upon seeing Nangong Yan's fist, Jiang Chen quickly focused his strength on his chest.

It doesn't make the chest hard, but rather soft!

Jiang Chen is now a level three body refiner, while Nangong Yan is only a level two beast tamer with a mortal body. If Jiang Chen doesn't let his muscles loosen up, Nangong Yan might dislocate his fist!

A muffled thud rang out.

Although his strength had softened, Jiang Chen still regretted it when Nangong Yan's fist landed on his chest...

His face turned bright red, as if he had been struck by a bronze wall.

This ordinary beast tamer has such poor physical fitness...

"Holy crap, is your body made of iron?" Nangong Yan cursed, clutching his fist.

"Wrong, my body is harder than iron," Jiang Chen laughed.

Nangong Yan rolled his eyes wildly.

"Long time no see!" Jiang Chen walked over and patted Nangong Yan on the shoulder, saying with a touch of wistfulness.

All in all, the first year of college has passed for the two freshmen, yet they haven't had more than ten chances to meet during that time...

This is even though the two of them live next door.

If Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan have met so few times, then the others have hardly met at all.

There was no other way; for the past year, Jiang Chen had either been in seclusion cultivating or on his way to do missions.

He was so busy that he couldn't even find time to visit the beautiful senior students at school and talk to them about their life ideals.

"Why are you carrying so many bananas?" Jiang Chen noticed that Nangong Yan was carrying a large bag of fruit, which was almost entirely filled with bananas.

"Oh, I bought these at the supermarket yesterday. Lan Lan loves bananas, and I was going to visit her anyway, so I brought them along," Nangong Yan said.

Lan Lan is Nangong Yan's girlfriend, a student in the Department of Animal Husbandry who breeds pets.

Jiang Chen looked at the banana in Nangong Yan's hand and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, bananas are indeed a good fruit; you can eat them even if you don't need them."

"Huh???" Nangong Yan.

……

After saying goodbye to Nangong Yan and agreeing to meet up later, Jiang Chen headed straight for Jian Qingqiu's dormitory.

Jiang Chen still had many questions to ask Jian Qingqiu about this trip to the secret realm.

Soon they arrived at Jian Qingqiu's dormitory villa. In the height of summer, August, the small garden in front of the villa was lush and green, exuding boundless beauty.

Some summer-blooming flowers have already blossomed in the breeze, filling the air with a sweet fragrance that is refreshing and delightful.

As soon as Jiang Chen reached the door, the villa door opened automatically.

Jiang Chen walked through the entrance hall and stepped into the house.

The decorations in Jian Qingqiu's living room remained unchanged. The room was softly lit and bright. Jian Qingqiu stood upright in front of the bookshelf, unlike usual, when she would lie lazily on the sofa like a cat.

Today, Jian Qingqiu was wearing a white long dress with some white tassels, which accentuated her tall and graceful figure.

Her long, flowing hair was all tied up at the back of her head, revealing her snow-white neck, giving her a clean, neat, and refreshing look.

At this moment, in Jian Qingqiu's left hand, she was holding a dusty stone tablet that exuded an ancient and weathered aura. From time to time, a spiritual light would flash on the stone tablet, making it both mysterious and extraordinary.

While looking at the stone tablet on her left hand, Jian Qingqiu stretched out her right hand and occasionally pulled out one ancient book after another from the bookshelf and placed them on the sofa.

The sofa was now completely filled with classic books.

"You've arrived." Sensing Jiang Chen's arrival, Jian Qingqiu didn't even turn her head, speaking in a calm, declarative tone.

"Teacher, I'm here." Jiang Chen slowly replied, looking at Jian Qingqiu's graceful and charming back.

Jian Qingqiu nodded almost imperceptibly, then continued to bury herself in pulling out one ancient book after another from the bookshelf. She would glance at them from time to time, and if she found a book she wanted, she would put it on the sofa; if not, she would put it back on the bookshelf.

Jian Qingqiu was so focused that she seemed to have forgotten Jiang Chen was there.

Jiang Chen felt slightly embarrassed and could only walk to the small sofa chair next to him, while curiously looking at the books on the sofa.

Jiang Chen was defeated after just one glance.

These books are all very old, with yellowed and fuzzy covers and edges, indicating that they have been around for quite some time.

However, these books were clearly well-maintained, otherwise they would have rotted away long ago.

For example, Jiang Chen could see at a glance that many books contained arrays such as the "Dust Purification Array" and the "Waterproof Array".

Jiang Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. Although these magic arrays were only level one or two, it would be a very complicated, difficult, and expensive task to inscribe them on every book.

What's even more embarrassing is that Jiang Chen discovered he couldn't understand the text on these ancient books at all.

It seems to be some kind of oracle bone script or pictograph, all ancient scripts, and also some ancient books from other countries.

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue slightly; Jian Qingqiu's knowledge reserves were truly terrifying.

After Jiang Chen had been working for about half an hour and his buttocks were getting sore, Jian Qingqiu seemed to have finally finished her work.

She took a deep breath, stretched, lifted her hips, and sat down on another small sofa chair.

Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward obsequiously, picked up the flower tea next to him, and poured a cup for Jian Qingqiu: "Teacher, have some tea."

Jian Qingqiu glanced at Jiang Chen, seemingly quite pleased with his flattery, and nodded slightly: "Mm."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly. As expected, flattery will never fail you!

At this moment, Jiang Chen also noticed that Jian Qingqiu was wearing a pair of black glasses on her nose, which added to her intellectual and mature beauty.

As expected, mature women are invincible!

"kindness?"

Just as Jiang Chen was admiring this beauty, Jian Qingqiu suddenly tapped lightly on the eye socket of her "black glasses," and the black glasses immediately started moving.

The two temples of the black glasses stretched out and rotated ninety degrees, changing from being perpendicular to the lenses to two straight lines.

The two transparent "lenses" also slowly disappeared like a light curtain, and the frame swayed and retracted.

In the blink of an eye, the black glasses on Jian Qingqiu's face turned into a long black worm. The black worm let out a low chirp and crawled up Jian Qingqiu's neck, arm and into her hand.

Jian Qingqiu tucked it into a strange brocade pouch.

"Teacher, you're amazing..." Jiang Chen was stunned by what he saw.

"A tool used to examine the [Wordless Stele]," Jian Qingqiu said calmly, glancing at the ancient stele she had just placed on the table.

Jiang Chen followed Jian Qingqiu's gaze and immediately recognized the origin of the ancient stone tablet.

"Teacher, are these the five stone tablets you took from the Azure Island Secret Realm?"

"Okay." Jian Qingqiu nodded.

"It looks a little different, and aren't there supposed to be five pieces in total?"

While rubbing her eyes, Jian Qingqiu explained, "That's not an ordinary stone tablet, but a special ancient spiritual artifact. When the five pieces merge into one, it becomes a [Wordless Stone Tablet] that records important matters."

"This is an important means of recording key information in many ancient ruins and secret places."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled!

Goodness, whoever came up with this idea is truly a genius.

At the same time, this move was far too subtle!

On the surface, it appears to be an ordinary stone tablet recording some of the deeds of the Holy Maiden of Qingyu, but unexpectedly, it is actually an ancient spiritual artifact that records matters concerning the Qingyu Secret Realm.

Moreover, even if someone discovers by chance that these five stone tablets can be fused together.

However, because they lacked Jian Qingqiu's "black glasses," they were unable to see the truth!

These double security measures are something that those unaware of the truth could never have imagined, no matter how hard they tried.

"Teacher, what did you see inside this blank stone tablet?" Jiang Chen asked quickly.

This trip to the Qingyu Secret Realm truly broadened Jiang Chen's horizons.

It turns out that the "Great Cataclysm" of a thousand years ago was not the beginning, but just an important historical event!

The profession of Beast Tamer actually existed before the ancient times of the Great Cataclysm!

This history is becoming increasingly simple yet mysterious!

However, Jiang Chen had a strong intuition that as long as he followed the footsteps of history, he would be able to unravel the mystery of the origin of Beast Tamers and the mystery of the great catastrophe a thousand years ago!

Why did the landmass of the world sink a thousand years ago?

Why are the sea levels in this world still rising?

What exactly is the identity of that "black figure" in the Qingyu Secret Realm?

What exactly was the Black Death?

There are just too many questions!

"The blank stele contains an ancient encrypted script, which will take me some time to decipher," Jian Qingqiu said, shaking her head slightly as she met Jiang Chen's hopeful gaze.

"what?"

Jiang Chen was speechless. What exactly was recorded inside this blank stone tablet?

Isn't there a lot of secrecy involved?

It's like an old sow wearing a bra—one after another!

Someone as illiterate as him would be completely stumped!

"Teacher, who is that black figure in the secret realm?" Jiang Chen asked, voicing another important question that had been on his mind.

This question is extremely important!

Because it was obvious that Jian Qingqiu knew of the other party's existence.

But Jian Qingqiu didn't seem to kill him; instead, she left him to his fate!

Jiang Chen even suspected that Jian Qingqiu deliberately put him in the exploration team so that he would personally kill that "black figure"!

Upon hearing the mention of the black figure, Jian Qingqiu's eyes immediately changed, becoming sharp, and her slender waist straightened up on the sofa chair.

"Jiang Chen, remember that black-clad figure," Jian Qingqiu said sternly.

"kindness?"

"Because the other party is the enemy of all living beings!" Jian Qingqiu said coldly.

"An enemy of all living beings?" Upon hearing this name, Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.

"Teacher, this..."

"You will encounter him again in the future. Remember, once you do, you must kill him!" Jian Qingqiu's voice turned icy.

"Teacher, did you deliberately leave this to me so I could witness their evil and cruelty?" Jiang Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Yes," Jian Qingqiu nodded directly and replied, "I discovered their existence when I infiltrated the Qingyu Secret Realm half a year ago."

"However, the sealing power of the Qingyu Secret Realm was still very strong at that time. Even if I wanted to forcefully break it, I would have to pay a considerable price. So I could only withdraw and wait until it was born in the future before I could take action."

"But in the end, you'll have to do it yourself, because 'he' isn't the first person we've encountered, nor will he be the last!"

"Letting you experience it firsthand will do you no harm."

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Teacher, what... what exactly is that black figure?"

Jian Qingqiu was silent for a moment, then slowly parted her red lips and uttered a single word: "Demon!"
