Chapter 108 Black Rock Giant, Eight-Winged Flying Ants
Lin Yue'e did not give an immediate response.
Instead, they asked Xu Xian, "What are you thinking?"
Xu Xian remained silent, looked at Wawa, and then at Lin Yue'e. "Let's investigate first. It's possible that Senior Li Xiang, fearing that his painstakingly researched potion might be forgotten, told Jiang Cheng. After all, that's how Wawa entrusted it to Uncle Wang Yue, and that's how we met in Tree City."
Lin Yue'e shook her head; that wasn't what she wanted to ask.
He asked, "I mean, if the other party really did steal Li Xiang's research results, what do you plan to do?"
Xu Xian was a rather rational person.
Lin Yue'e had already realized this.
Wawa, however, is a special case.
It wasn't a spirit beast that was specially trained from birth to be loyal to only one beast tamer, but rather a genius, clever frog that had gone through its previous owner and then passed into Xu Xian's hands.
Xu Xian felt somewhat dissatisfied.
This Master Lin seems to be subtly trying to undermine him, trying to sow discord between him and Wawa.
In his opinion.
Even if Jiang Cheng really stole Li Xiang's research results, he wouldn't just go straight to him.
Wang Yue is absolutely right.
"Li Xiang's research was too secretive, but his sudden fame was exhilarating."
It's like working without leaving a trace.
Who knows if you did it or not.
Who knew you did this?
Is there CCTV footage or something?
There is no conclusive evidence.
There is not a single trace of direction.
The data drafts were all taken.
The mere verbal leaks are practically no different from empty talk.
So Xu Xian was actually quite helpless.
This matter was caused by the relationship between Wawa, Wang Yue, and Li Xiang, as well as by his own conscience.
He certainly couldn't pretend it didn't happen or that he didn't see it, especially since he was the one who discovered it.
However, they may also prioritize their own interests, believing that revenge is a dish best served cold.
Jiang Cheng is a mid-level pharmacist. He is not in the right to start a conflict without any evidence.
Trying to cause trouble for the other party with underhanded tactics? I don't know any big shots in Black Abyss City. Would an ordinary person dare to mess with a mid-level alchemist? Just hearing that name makes me cower!
"It seems you already have the answer," Lin Yue'e said, seemingly trying to stir things up.
Xu Xian was even more displeased.
Lin Yue'e seems to enjoy watching entertainment, much like many entertainers in his memory.
He turned to look at Vawa.
The little frog also looked over at this moment.
"Croak." Wawa took the initiative to approach and grasped Xu Xian's hand with its frog claws.
His eyes were firm.
Whatever decision you make, I will support you!
Xu Xian smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Yue'e shook her head.
It's not interesting, but it's also interesting.
She said, "If you want advice, my advice is that you only have one way to deal with this: grow stronger. Once you are in a high position, people will naturally try to figure out what you are thinking, and you can solve most problems without having to lift a finger."
She can help with academic fraud, and she doesn't mind helping.
Even if Jiang Cheng stole Li Xiang's research results, the point remains the same: evidence!
Without evidence, she wouldn't do anything outrageous based on just one side of the story.
It's not that they can't, but that they're unwilling.
I came out of room 301.
Xu Xian said to Wawa, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter. Master Lin is right. If we stand high enough, some things can be easily resolved."
Vawa nodded emphatically.
I will continue to grow stronger, stronger than any spirit beast!
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
While the sun shone brightly over Fog City, the sky over Black Abyss City was nearing darkness, with heavy, dark clouds looming over the city, eager to shroud it in their oppressive power.
This point in time.
Xu Yang and Zhou Meili returned, along with their spirit beasts.
It wasn't one for each person, but rather one for Xu Yang and two for Zhou Meili.
Xu Yang's spirit beast, Xu Xian, had seen it before.
It is of the same type as Qian Hongwen's mid-grade bronze blue-eyed white ape.
However, Xu Yang's was much larger, standing 1.9 meters tall and slender, and floated in the air behind him with his telekinetic powers.
Its blue eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and its white fur was smooth, clean, and glossy.
It seemed as if a spiritual force was attached to each and every hair.
Therefore, the moment Wawa saw this powerful blue-eyed white ape, he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
In its eyes.
The blue-eyed white ape was like a scorching sun, making it feel like it was being pricked by needles and extremely uncomfortable.
"Tone it down," Xu Yang said without turning his head.
The blue-eyed white ape immediately concealed its aura and even landed on the ground, walking like a normal person.
The sharpness of the sword that had just been drawn from its sheath had completely vanished.
Xu Xian's heart tightened.
Such impressive control.
If he wasn't mistaken, the energy aura of this blue-eyed white ape was no weaker than that of Shi'e's dancing sword goose.
So, with such a powerful spirit beast, why is Xu Yang not listed in the student rankings of Haicheng University?
Don't even mention that the top 200 are all better than him.
If that's the case, the annual national academic competition awards should just go directly to Haicheng University; all the other schools combined don't have its strength.
Puzzled, Xu Xian looked at Zhou Meili, who was ranked first among current students at Haicheng University and temporarily ranked third among university students nationwide.
The reason it's only temporary is because the first two are both senior students who are about to drop out of the rankings.
In other words, once school starts, these two will leave the list, while Zhou Meili will rise two places on her own.
Unlike ordinary students.
Zhou Meili has two spirit beasts.
Students generally don't consider getting a second spirit beast before graduating from university.
The first issue is distraction during training, and the second is the problem of resource allocation.
Not everyone has the ability to raise two spirit beasts.
Xu Xian was chosen because Niu Niu liked him, and she had just evolved Wa Wa into a Silver-type Tide Dragon Frog. In addition, the regular resources were provided by the Tianxin Club, so she was considering getting a second spirit beast.
Another point is the choice: the Little Flame Minotaur can evolve into the Silver-grade Big Flame Minotaur.
For most students without a source of income, raising one is already difficult, and the second one must have the potential to evolve into a silver-tier species.
Such a spirit beast is not cheap.
Subsequent training resources are even more troublesome, purely a money drain.
Given the opportunity, most students would prefer to directly contract a silver-grade spirit beast once and for all, otherwise they wouldn't consider contracting a second spirit beast.
Shi E had this idea, Fang Qian had this idea, and even the arrogant Xu Yang was no exception.
However, this idea wouldn't work for Xu Xian and Zhou Meili.
Zhou Meili's two spirit beasts, Xu Xian, had only seen them in books.
The two, one big and one small, followed quietly behind.
The largest one is two meters tall, with a robust build, its entire body is jet black, its skin is like rock, its face is ferocious with blue faces and fangs, and its ears are strangely pointed.
In the dark, one might mistake it for a human rather than a mythical beast if not looking closely.
Black Rock Giant, Earth Attribute, Mid-Grade Silver, Talent: Heart of the Earth.
When on the earth, one can continuously draw energy from the earth and infuse it into oneself.
This black rock giant was a peak-level leader-class spirit beast. Even with just a slight aura emanating from it, Xu Xian and the two spirit beasts beside him felt as if a towering beast with terrifying eyes was shooting straight at them with a horrifying gaze.
As far as Xu Xian knew.
The Black Rock Giant initially grew up normally, just like a human baby.
As the energy level increases.
At its advanced stage, it is only the height of a ten-year-old child, but once it breaks through to the leader level...
The Black Rock Giant's size will grow uncontrollably.
The ultimate record for the boss-level peak is twenty meters.
It's absolutely terrifying.
It's estimated that this Xu Xian is using Zhou Meili's "multiplication" secret technique.
Just like Fang Qian's Holy Eagle.
Zhou Meili's largest spirit beast is a mid-grade silver-level Black Rock Giant, and her smaller ones are equally impressive.
It's not very big, about the size of a small poodle.
However, it is not a teddy bear, but an ant, an ant that is completely black.
Its entire body was shrouded in a misty black aura, and it had eight pairs of thin, transparent black wings on its back. At first glance, it seemed to be right in front of you, but in your perception, it seemed to be non-existent, just a cloud of black mist swirling around it.
Eight-winged flying ant, dark attribute, low-grade silver, talent: stealth.
This racial talent makes spirit beasts with this talent more stealthy, silent, and difficult to detect when using dark attribute skills.
The eight-winged flying ant is a natural assassin spirit beast.
According to historical records, the Ninth Prince, the proud son of the emperor of the previous dynasty, the Insect Dynasty, was only twenty years old and about to become a king-level beast tamer. He was assassinated by the Eight-Winged Flying Ant, the crown prince of the current dynasty.
That was also the end of the Insect Dynasty, a period known in history as the "Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne," which is still talked about by later generations.
With the death of the Ninth Prince, the remaining seven princes all felt insecure.
The struggle for the throne among the nine princes has begun and entered a period of intense contention.
From then on, the Insect Dynasty completely declined and was destroyed by an external enemy who seized a weakness, until the Sword Emperor emerged and stabilized the situation for humanity again.
Anyone who has taken a history class will inevitably be familiar with the eight-winged flying ant.
Even Zhou Li, whose historical performance was mediocre, was very knowledgeable about this period of history.
Looking at these two spirit beasts.
Both are silver-level, and both are at the peak of the boss level. Who knows when they will break through.
Xu Xian sighed deeply, "No wonder I'm ranked number one among students at Haicheng University."
If this configuration were given to Shi E, he would be overjoyed.
Xu Yang went to room 301 as soon as he returned.
At this point, the old frog junior's physical attributes and energy had been completely transformed.
It has dark red blood clots protruding from its skin, making it look less like a big frog and more like a red toad.
After the modification, the frog junior fell asleep soundly on the bed.
"Should we start now or wait until tomorrow?" Lin Yue'e asked.
"Let's do it tonight! The sooner the better!" Xu Yang said.
Lin Yue'e nodded.
I contacted someone by phone.
Ten minutes later, a police car pulled up downstairs at the hotel.
Lin Yue'e led everyone downstairs.
A young officer stood up straight and saluted Lin Yue'e.
"Master Lin, your application has been approved. The commander said you must be extremely careful. The Sea Dragon Clan has never given up its desire to destroy humanity, so please be very careful not to take any risks!"
"Please thank Mr. Zheng with me," Lin Yue'e said with a smile.
soon.
Led by the young officer, Xu Xian and his companions walked towards the shore. A large ship docked there, and they boarded and sailed away under the watchful eyes of the soldiers guarding the shore.
They left not long ago.
A bald man with a small piece missing from his head and two young men, each with their own spirit beast, checked into the inn.
A young man asked, "Brother Qiang, are we going tonight?"
Wang Qiang nodded, "Go ahead. It wasn't easy for the authorities to support us. Besides us, there are more than a dozen brothers with us. Recently, there have been frequent harassments there by small fry. Ordinary bullets will only jam when they hit them, so this time they let us take over."
Another young man said excitedly, "The shrimp soldiers and crab generals are all top-grade black iron-type spirit beasts. Although they are cannon fodder for the sea dragon clan, if we can capture pregnant female shrimp soldiers and crab generals, we will be rich. Moreover, shrimp soldiers and crab generals can evolve into bronze-type beasts. Even if we don't sell the offspring, having them is still very beneficial."
"Brother Qiang, you're amazing! You managed to get such a great opportunity." The young man who spoke first praised him.
Wang Qiang touched his no longer smooth head. He had risked his life for this opportunity, but if he had to do it again, he would still give it his all.
Black Abyss Sea.
On land, it just feels dark and oppressive.
Once at sea, the sense of oppression increased dramatically.
Unlike the vast expanse of fog in the Yangtze River and the sea, where the view is obstructed by white mist.
The darkness of the Black Abyss Sea comes from beneath the seawater, and from the impenetrable black cloud above the Black Abyss Sea.
The entire ocean was like a dark and mysterious abyss, with an invisible maw in front, on the left and right, and below!
This feeling of being swallowed up at any moment made Xu Xian extremely uncomfortable, as if fleas were jumping all over his body, making him restless and unable to stand still.
He's actually okay; it's Niu Niu who's suffering the most.
The rest of the people and spirit beasts were either powerful or had been here before.
Like Wawa, who used to live in Black Abyss City and was a spirit beast born from the Black Abyss Sea.
Although they loathe and even wish they could exterminate all the spirit beasts in the Black Abyss Sea.
But being on the Black Abyss Sea, I felt completely relaxed.
The atmosphere here made it feel that all the energy elements in its body were becoming active.
"We don't need to go too far. We're just gathering the Dragon Frog Sea Spirit, not performing an evolution ritual," Xu Xian said to Xu Yang.
For safety reasons.
The evolution ritual was to be completed in the Black Reef Islands in the Misty River.
So when the large ship was a kilometer away from the coast of Black Abyss City, Xu Yang followed Xu Xian's advice and ordered the ship to stop.
It's okay if it doesn't stop.
Problems arise as soon as you stop.
Within a hundred meters of the large ship.
The seawater, which was gently rippling in the salty sea breeze, suddenly boiled violently like boiling water.
Numerous bubbles emitted a series of popping sounds.
Xu Yang remained calm, holding his junior brother Frog in his arms, and sneered, "So that's why we haven't seen any movement. So you were planning to lure us into a trap, huh!"
Xu Xian pulled the uncomfortable Niu Niu closer, while Wawa looked warily at the boiling sea.
Staring intently at the boiling seawater.
Suddenly, a huge shrimp claw emerged from the dark, bubbling seawater.
Then came the second, the third, and the fourth —
Besides shrimp claws, crab claws, which are just as formidable as shrimp claws, also emerged in astonishing numbers.
"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" Xu Xian blurted out the names of these two mythical beasts.
Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the second of the cannon fodder spirit beast groups under the Sea Dragon Clan.
Water attribute, top-grade black iron, both possess the talent of "Giant Claw Power".
Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, shrimp soldiers and crab generals belong to the category of spirit beasts with great strength, high defense, and small brains.
In terms of pure physical attributes, both of these spirit beasts are comparable to low-grade bronze-level beasts.
However, he is not very intelligent and is known for his recklessness.
So when these high-level shrimp soldiers and crab generals discovered that there were humans, they couldn't wait to rush to be the first.
Xu Xian had only just seen it.
A one-meter-tall crab trampled its brothers and sisters as they rushed onto the large ship.
The crew members on the ship were not afraid when they saw this; instead, a fierce look flashed across their faces.
If they hadn't been instructed to just drive, they would have already grabbed the AKs on the boat and started shooting at the crab general.
"Xu Xian, this one is yours now," Xu Yang said.
The blue-eyed white ape beside him had somehow left the ship and was now half-floating on the sea surface.
Xu Xian didn't pay attention to this; he was startled by the crab general who had suddenly barged in.
Pulling Niu Niu back.
The crab, with its fierce grin, thought it had frightened the human and swung its large claws straight at Xu Xian.
