Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 358: Chapter 254: Cultivation Plan (2)

[Introduction: A rare species of ant born near the planet’s core. Its body accumulates an abundance of Metal Elements, and it can emit a sharp, explosive sound like shearing metal.]

"The male is Yue Lin, and the female is Yue Liu. They’re a couple and are in charge of matters concerning the Gray Demon Whales. Yue Lin’s position within his family is also similar to Cang Yu’s, handling various miscellaneous duties."

"Among the Five Great Ancestors, the Abyssal Rock Ants aren’t particularly skilled in combat. Their combined strength is a little weaker than my brother’s and mine." Cang Wu’s thoughts reached Han Ning, briefly explaining the two Insect Masters’ origins.

The meeting between the Insect Masters from the two Ancestor Families didn’t start with the usual human pleasantries, as Han Ning had expected.

Instead, they got straight to the point, directly stating their intentions.

Cang Yu spoke first, "I need an adult Gray Demon Whale. What’s the price?"

Yue Lin frowned. "You of the Cyan God Armor have the Earth-Shaking Flying Armor. What do you need a Gray Demon Whale for? While Gray Demon Whales aren’t the most precious Soul Beasts, they’re rare and have special uses. The Clan Leader has forbidden any external trade of them."

"Yue Lin, the current Clan Leader is your third brother. Besides, we’ve known each other for so many years. You won’t sell me even one Gray Demon Whale?" Cang Yu sounded somewhat disappointed.

"I’m sorry. If you wanted some insects with high Talent, I could approve that myself. But not the Gray Demon Whales. Absolutely not! They’re connected to the secrets of Alatak."

Yue Lin’s ugly face remained as stiff as a corpse, betraying no emotion.

"Well then, there’s no other way..."

Han Ning, standing behind them, sighed to himself and immediately issued a command,

’Control them. I’ll have Qingyao restrain them both, and you two will launch a Spiritual Power interference at the same time.’

"Yes."

Upon receiving the command, Cang Yu and Cang Wu fell silent and replied via their Spiritual Power.

After a day of rest, their Spiritual Power had recovered slightly, but they weren’t yet at full strength.

Seeing Cang Yu fall silent, Yue Lin was about to say more.

But in the next second, a terrifying wave of Spiritual Energy pressure instantly enveloped him and his partner.

Countless cyan chains suddenly erupted from the void.

The Abyssal Rock Ants at their sides were about to react when they found themselves bound by illusory chains that had appeared out of nowhere, locking them firmly in place. They couldn’t move at all.

"SKREEE!!"

The Abyssal Rock Ants tried to unleash their sharp, metal-shearing sonic waves, but their sound-producing organs were sealed shut by another chain, this one engraved with complex draconic patterns.

The surrounding Spiritual Particles instantly stagnated, as if frozen in place by a powerful being, turning the air as thick as a viscous mire.

"You!"

Yue Lin and Yue Liu’s expressions changed drastically.

Before they could react.

Three spiritual attacks of varying intensity struck one after another.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Immediately after, two flashes of blood followed.

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm used its clones to attack both of them simultaneously!

Under this dual assault of Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Power.

In less than a second.

The expressions of the two Abyssal Rock Ant Insect Masters changed wildly.

Their faces shifted from initial shock, disbelief, and intense anger, to confusion and pain, and finally... to meek submission.

In unison, they turned their gaze toward the ordinary-looking Cyan God Armor Beetle Master standing behind Cang Yu and Cang Wu.

"Master."

Yue Lin coughed hard, spitting out the bloody foam in his throat, and performed a deep kowtow before Han Ning.

Yue Liu, beside him, followed suit.

Han Ning rubbed his throbbing temples, gestured for the two to rise, and asked:

"Enough small talk. If I need a Gray Demon Whale large enough to house hundreds or even thousands of people, what kind of strength would it require?"

"In response to Master," Yue Lin replied, "a War General Level Gray Demon Whale can exceed 300 meters in length, with a width of about one-third its length. That should be sufficient to meet your requirements."

"Understood."

In truth, detailed information regarding the Gray Demon Whale’s parameters was available in the data left behind by the Alataku People.

He was only asking to see if Yue Lin was answering him truthfully.

According to the records left by the Alataku People, a Gray Demon Whale needed to be at least at the Lord Limit of strength to traverse the Subspace storms.

As for its physical size, that was irrelevant, because a Gray Demon Whale at the Lord Limit would certainly be large enough to accommodate everyone from the academy.

"What is the Level of the strongest Gray Demon Whale your clan is raising?"

"Replying to Master, the strongest is at the War General Level," Yue Liu chimed in. "A Gray Demon Whale’s consumption is over ten times that of other Soul Beasts, and the clan hasn’t dedicated significant resources to them. Their intelligence is also low, making it difficult for them to grasp the essence of Gathering Spirit. We have never successfully raised one to Lord Level."

"I want that War General Level Gray Demon Whale. Can you get it for me?"

"Well..." Yue Lin said, his face a mask of honesty. "To be frank, I can capture it for you, but there’s only one War General Level Gray Demon Whale. If it suddenly vanished, it would attract the Clan Leader’s attention. He would probably order a full investigation. Not only would Yue Liu and I be implicated, but the entire force of Abyssal Rock Ant Insect Masters would be deployed. They might even ask the other Ancestor Families for help in tracking the Gray Demon Whale."

"Why does your Clan Leader place so much importance on a single Gray Demon Whale?" Han Ning frowned slightly.

"Because... it was an order from Her Majesty the Queen. She commanded us to guard the Gray Demon Whales at all costs."

"The Queen’s Divine Hall... If the War General Level one is out of the question, what about a newborn, or a relatively weak Gray Demon Whale?" Han Ning was unwilling to give up.

"Let me think..." Yue Lin fell into thought.

"Yue Lin, there is a female whale that’s about to give birth. Perhaps we could use some means to offer the unborn Gray Demon Whale to Master," Yue Liu suddenly interjected.

"Oh?"

Yue Lin’s eyes lit up. He explained,

"Yue Liu is the primary Insect Master in charge of the breeding area. She knows more about it than I do."

"In that case, there shouldn’t be a problem. I will work with Yue Liu to offer the unborn Gray Demon Whale calf to you."

"How long will it take?"

"Within ten days. I will notify Master via Spiritual Power," Yue Liu replied.

"Ten days... That’s not too long. Get it done as soon as you can."

To avoid attracting the attention of other Insect Masters, the shorter their meeting, the better.

With the Subordinate Insects, they could all communicate via Spiritual Power and wouldn’t need to meet in person again.

Therefore, Han Ning prepared to leave.

Before he left, his gaze fell on the pouches at their waists. He smiled and said, "Give me your waist pouches."

"Yes!"

With the Gray Demon Whale issue settled, Han Ning could finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The next steps were to train the Beast Masters for the Spiritual Array and to prepare a large amount of food for the Gray Demon Whale.

’For now, the panel’s point-adding function only works on my Contracted Soul Beasts. If there’s really no other way, I’ll just have to form a contract with the Gray Demon Whale calf first.’

On the way back to the academy, Han Ning sat on Egg Pancake’s back, lost in thought.

From all the data provided by the Alataku People, it was clear that the Gray Demon Whale was not a Soul Beast suited for combat.

They were enormous, had low intelligence, and were basically living targets in a fight. Very few Beast Masters would ever choose one.

But in order to successfully evacuate the continent, Han Ning was prepared to waste a contract slot.

After all, only by surviving would he have the chance to make more choices.

’Besides, with the panel, it’s not impossible to transform the Gray Demon Whale into a powerful Soul Beast. The Talent inheritance function alone offers a lot of room to maneuver.’

Just as Han Ning was worrying about this matter.

A line of light blue text suddenly appeared before him:

[Consume 100,000 Energy to upgrade the panel’s point-adding function. After upgrading, you may add points to Soul Beasts other than your Contracted Soul Beasts.]

[Minimum upgrade requirement: Tier Four Spiritual Power]

[When the host’s Spiritual Power reaches Tier Four, you can also unlock functions such as Soul Artifact forging, high-quality Soul Beast food creation... and more.]

[Note: The panel’s functions are directly related to the host’s Spiritual Power Level. The higher the Spiritual Power Level, the more functions can be unlocked.]
