Chapter 295: Collecting without Restraint

Buzz!

Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness while he and Jiu Zhigao were flying at high speed in the air. At this moment, he found the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail had buzzed.

Then he shifted his consciousness into there. He immediately saw the Tidal Treasure Snail finally swallow the entire Gold-level Bead of Spirit Clam Disturbing the Sky.

After six days' non-stop hard work.

The energy in it soared as soon as it swallowed the Bead of Spirit Clam Disturbing the Sky.

It achieved the Gold level from the peak Silver level.

In the meantime, the diameter of the World of Nothingness where it was also lengthened by twice.

However, the Tidal Treasure Snail itself did not grow bigger.

It seemed to be a beast that would never grow in size, just like Lil Wan.

"It finally achieved the Gold level!"

A pleasantly surprised look flashed across Ye Xuan's face when he had seen the Tidal Treasure Snail level up.

The Tidal Treasure Snail was one of the beasts that had been with him for a long time.

This little guy could take a lot of credits since he had contracted with it.

Therefore, he was pleased to see it level up.

While he was thinking about that, Ye Xuan looked at the small box that he had left in the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail not long ago.

It was the fragments of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure collected by Mo Guting in the box.

Looking at the small box, Ye Xuan opened the Beast Editor with a gleam in his eyes.

However, he received a message in his head when he had opened the Beast Editor.

"They are not enough?"

Ye Xuan was slightly struck dumb by the message he had received.

He was surprised that the Beast Editor could communicate with him for real.

According to what it had communicated with him, the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure fragments were not enough yet to make the Tidal Treasure Snail rise in stars.

But it did not say they could not achieve that.

"Well, if there are not enough of them, I will just collect more!"

There was a blazing gleam in Ye Xuan's eyes.

According to what Jiu Zhigao had told him, they had only collected one-third of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure fragments, with the fragments that each person had found all taken into account.

Whoosh!

While Ye Xuan was thinking about that, following Jiu Zhigao, he arrived at the center of the Blue Water Lake about ten miles away.

The Blue Water Lake, in fact, covered a huge area.

However, except for the base camp they had been at, everywhere else was shrouded in mist.

No Beast Tamer had gone through the misty area to enter the Blue Water Lake yet.

All Beast Tamers that gone into the misty area would come out of there with a puzzled look very soon.

For that reason, all clans were fighting for their base camp.

Ye Xuan found the water was dark here as soon as he arrived, just like what Jiu Zhigao had told him.

And the water here was freezing.

Ye Xuan felt his body was turning cold as soon as he arrived.

But soon, the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao created a layer of fog around Ye Xuan to protect him from the cold because it had found Ye Xuan was feeling cold.

As Ye Xuan's most loyal jiao beast, it certainly would not let him catch a cold.

"How is it going? Was there anything unusual here?"

Jiu Zhigao asked the dozens of Beast Tamers from all clans guarding here as soon as he arrived.

Almost all of those Beast Tamers had aquatic beasts.

Their aquatic beasts were looking for the fragments of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure underwater at the moment.

"Star Son, everything is normal. Nothing unusual happened here!"

A Beast Tamer from the Spiritual Ape Clan answered him immediately.

"Nothing unusual?"

Raising his brow, Jiu Zhigao said, "Listen up, his future Highness Mo Guting was killed in a surprise attack at our base camp just now. You'd better stay alert from now on."

"If you haven't called out all of your beasts, call all of them out right now. Every inch of this area must be well guarded. Don't let any suspicious person in!"

What?

His future Highness Mo Guting is dead?

Everyone here panicked when they had heard the news from Jiu Zhigao.

This was the place that Mo Guting valued most. Therefore, he had sent two of his trusted subordinates here.

They both turned pale when they had heard about Mo Guting's death. This news was just shocking.

It was beyond their imagination what kind of punishment they would get when they went back.

"And give me all of the Challenger-level space fragments you have collected, no matter how many of them you have. I will turn them in when I go back to the clan."

Jiu Zhigao added almost right away.

The Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets had unified numerous forces, but their goal was not to benefit all of those forces.

It was just a plan that the top management of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets had thought out to collect a great number of high-level evolutionary resources.

For example, these people here would be rewarded when they turned in the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure fragments they had collected.

But the rewards they would get were just some treasures that applied to their levels.

What about the treasures they turned in?

Those were valuable treasures that were even extremely useful for Challenger-level Beast Tamers.

"Star Son, we have no more Challenger-level space fragments for now. His future Highness Mo Guting came here just not long ago, and he took all of the Challenger-level space fragments we had."

A Beast Tamer said scrupulously.

"He took all of them?"

Jiu Zhigao's face fell right away.

Mo Guting's Beast Ring and all of the other things he had on him were lost.

That meant all of the Challenger-level space fragments, which they had spent so much time collecting, had fallen into the hands of the bastard who had murdered Mo Guting.

"I have a question for you."

At this moment, looking at the Beast Tamer, who had just replied to Jiu Zhigao, Ye Xuan asked, "Is there any taboo in the black water area of the Blue Water Lake? I mean, can other beasts go inside apart from sea beasts?"

"Well..."

The man to whom Ye Xuan had posed the question was a little hesitant.

"Answer the question. This is his future Highness of the Faceless Clan of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets."

Jiu Zhigao said in anger.

He thought very highly of Ye Xuan at the moment.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Jiu Zhigao's introduction, that Beast Tamer darted a look at Ye Xuan in surprise. Then he said, "There is no taboo in the black water area, but even aquatic beasts can only go slowly in thereafter they go inside."

"Other beasts must be much slower once they get in."

"Well, I see."

Ye Xuan nodded. Then, looking at Jiu Zhigao, he said, "Star Son, in that case, I figure that bastard won't be able to send his beasts in here secretly even if he comes."

"That makes a lot of sense..."

Not until then did Jiu Zhigao understand why Ye Xuan had asked the question.

The dark water here was very thick and sticky. Even aquatic beasts had to slow down in there and make a big effort to advance.

And they had so many guards here. It would be tough for someone to send his beasts in without being noticed.

But he was relieved after having inspected this place.

He was in a state of extreme nervousness after Mo Guting and the Ox Horn Beast Tamer.

Nowhere seemed safe to him.

"Wee woo!"

When they were going to go on looking for the bastard who had murdered Mo Guting.

A sharp alarm suddenly came from their base camp in the distance.

"Shoot. Ye Xuan, you were absolutely right. The Silver Blood bastards are coming for real!"

Jiu Zhigao put on a serious look as soon as he heard the alarm.

Then he instantly flew back with those who had followed him here.

"They are attacking now?"

Ye Xuan also frowned.

But he immediately shifted his consciousness to call out the Treasure Snail Image of the Tidal Treasure Snail and the clone of the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao from under the dark water.

He felt some obstructions when he called the two out.

But he still managed to call them out.

The clone of the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao swung its tail as soon as he called them out. Then, guided by the Treasure Snail Image, the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao clone started to swim fast with it.

Not only was speed affected under the dark water, but also the visibility was poor. Even Mind Energy did not work well here.

However, all kinds of aquatic abilities of the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao had improved drastically under the Dragon Stone of Inheritance effect.

Even though the water here was a little bit special, it still could swim much faster than other beasts.

In addition, it was working with the Tidal Treasure Snail, which was never affected by visibility or Minds Energy.

Collaborating, they found a fragment of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure after only a few leaps underwater.

As they swam forward, they collected one after another Challenger-level space fragment in a short time.

Ye Xuan beamed when he had sensed that. He figured it would not take him long to take possession of all of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure fragments distributed in this black water area.

"Eh?"

While Ye Xuan was thinking about that, he suddenly saw the Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao run into an aquatic beast under the black water area through the Tidal Treasure Snail's Real-Time Map.

This beast obviously belonged to some Beast Tamer above the water.

And it was holding two fragments of the Challenger-level Secret Space Treasure in its mouth.

The Treasure Snail Image sent Ye Xuan a ripple as soon as they found that beast.

"Kill it!"

Feeling the Mind Ripple that the Treasure Snail Image had sent to him, Ye Xuan decided without hesitation.

Buzz!

Under his order, the Treasure Snail Image moved across the water and cut the beast that looked like a deep-sea swordfish in halves in a flash.

"Prick!"

The beast's owner shouted in anger right away.

"What happened?"

Jiu Zhigao had not flown far yet by then. Looking back, he asked when he had heard that Beast Tamer's angry shout.

"My... My beast is dead. It seems something unknown has gone underwater indeed!"

"What?"

Ye Xuan shouted right away when he had heard that, "How dare that bastard!"
