Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 247 - 244 Crab Valley: I’ve Been Tricked Again!

Time rewinds to 10 minutes prior.

Deep within Initial City’s sea territory.

Countless sea creatures and fish swarmed together into a torrent, churning and swirling in the depths of the sea a few thousand kilometers away from Initial City.

At the center of the swarm, a Spiritual Beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish, tens of meters long, was slowly gliding through the water. Its azure scales emitted a pure glow, illuminating an area of dozens of meters around it.

This was Chi Wen, a Spiritual Beast with mythical bloodline.

However, this Chi Wen had not received complete inheritance. Its parent, whether father or mother, had already died before its birth. Now, it could only receive the complete inheritance and ascend to totem status by obtaining a Chi Wen Crystal Core of totem grade.

Seated on the back of Chi Wen was a slightly hunched old man in a straw raincoat.

This inconspicuous little old man was none other than Xie Qiankun, the current Valley Master of Crab Valley.

He held a purple crystal in his hand.

This was Purple Crystal Ore. Two pieces of Purple Crystal Ore infused with the same type of Spiritual Power could exert a certain mutual effect, allowing one to glimpse the surroundings of the other piece.

At this moment, the scene shown by the Purple Crystal Ore was the manifestation of the "Deceit Snake" in the nocturnal Shenghai City.

"Not bad, the descent of the Evil God’s projection will surely result in Initial City calling upon most of its military forces for support. They would never expect that we would launch a stealth attack at this time. It seems this investment has been quite worthwhile."

A smile could not help but appear on Xie Qiankun’s wrinkled face.

The investment he referred to was naturally his investment in the Four Gods Sect.

Half a year earlier, upon learning the news of the Chi Wen totem-grade Crystal Core’s appearance, he had contacted Luo Kun, the head of the Four Gods Sect, asking him to create chaos in Shenghai City, hence creating an opportunity for him to attack Initial City.

Unfortunately, this plan was accidentally thwarted by Chen Mo, and Luo Kun even chose to take the money and run.

Luckily, he had prepared for such an eventuality, having tampered with the treasures given to Luo Kun in advance; opening them would trigger a Voodoo Doll curse.

Finding it impossible to remove the curse, Luo Kun had no choice but to obediently return to Crab Valley.

After a mix of threats and incentives from Xie Qiankun, they then forged the updated version 2.0 of the plan.

From a certain perspective, the Seven Thousand-Change Ghost Masks used by the Four Gods Sect were also provided by Crab Valley.

As high-grade Evil God Relics, the Thousand-Change Ghost Masks required offering numerous sacrifices and adhering to the laws of lies to the God of Lies. Luo Kun’s finances were clearly insufficient to meet these demands.

Yet, Cancer Island could do so.

As it turns out, this investment has indeed been very worthwhile!

As the figure of the "Deceit Snake" became clearer and clearer, the image displayed by the projection crystal suddenly began to stutter and eventually came to an abrupt halt, seemingly due to interference from some kind of signal.

"Roar!?" (Are we starting the operation now?)

Beside Chi Wen, an oriental giant dragon, engulfed by storms, let out a roar, seemingly impatient to inquire.

The Storm Dragon King from the Storm Sea, an Overlord Level Spiritual Beast.

"It’s about time, Dragon King, Sea Soul Dominator. Next, please lead the swarm of sea creatures to spearhead the attack," Xie Qiankun said slowly.

"Roar!" (Spearhead the attack? That’s an additional price. You agreed to pay half more, otherwise, there’s no deal.)

Hearing this, the Storm Dragon King showed a greedy smile, seizing the opportunity to extort.

The Sea Soul Dominator beside it, however, shook its head, looking a bit contemptuous of the Storm Dragon King’s behavior.

Before this, Crab Valley had already reached an agreement with them to lead the great formation of sea beasts to strike at Initial City’s first line of defense.

Despite possessing numerous Spiritual Ability Weapons, Initial City would still be unable to completely block off the massive charge of the sea creatures.

The Storm Dragon King’s demand was a sudden change of heart.

Xie Qiankun frowned, but then quickly resumed a cheerful demeanor, as he casually tossed two Space Rings in the direction of the Storm Dragon King and the Sea Soul Dominator.

Each ring contained resources worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Coins, a considerable sum even for Cancer Island, the largest power in the Penglai Islands.

"Naturally."

Xie Qiankun spoke with an impassive face, even as he cursed inside.

"This greedy damned fatty dragon, once my Chi Wen ascends to totem status, I’ll surely stew you into a soup!"

"There’s no need. Our tribe honors its word. Just ensure that you likewise keep your promises."

The Sea Soul Dominator returned the ring and spoke slowly.

The Sea Soul lineage was a type of water-element elemental Spiritual Beast born in the deep sea, similar in form to mermaids but with bodies closer to semi-translucent. They possessed strong control over Water-element Spiritual Power.

The Sea Soul Dominator had grown to a Seventh-stage Dominator Level, a true uncrowned king in the deep blue seas.

"Pretending to be noble."

The Storm Dragon King scoffed, then contentedly began to marshal its subordinates.

Before long, under the leadership of the Storm Dragon King and Sea Soul Dominator, thousands upon thousands of sea creatures launched an assault on Initial City.

When they were still thousands of kilometers away from Initial City, their movements were detected by Initial City’s surveillance equipment. Initial City’s defense systems swiftly activated, raising a dome-shaped protective barrier at the edge of the area, while turbulent undercurrents appeared in the waters below.

At the same time, a battery of Spiritual Energy Missiles and Spiritual Energy Bombs were fired at the swarm of sea beasts.

Boom!

Amidst the thunderous explosions, swathes of sea creatures were blown to pieces, but were quickly replaced by those following them.

Immediately afterward, the sea creatures started to act in an organized and disciplined manner, launching wave surge maneuvers simultaneously. Titantic waves from all directions surged toward Initial City, smashing heavily against the barrier.
