Chapter 1094: Chapter 149: Unbearable to Look At, Simply Unbearable! (6500)_4
Opening his eyes, the old elfâs gaze was bright: "Perhaps, before I die, our research will yield results!"
He had already begun saying âour researchâ, a detail that made Ian smile slightly.
Master Gravieâs complex emotions towards Canaan Moore, and his deep love for the Elves as a race, were impossible to deceive or ignore. He could certainly see the awkward situation and determination of this elder, so after considering, he did not kill him or allow him to be killed, but instead invited him to join forces.
Of course, Ian would not let Master Gravie pretend to die and return to Xiawei Territory... Not to mention that the Siren being isolated at sea makes this quite difficult, even if it were successful, it wouldnât essentially enhance Xiawei Territoryâs research capabilities.
After all, with Ian and Adalbert, the two most brilliant talents of the new generation, even Master Gravieâs profound skills cannot bring about a qualitative change.
However, if Master Gravie were to live peacefully in Canaan Moore... Even if he were isolated from the Canaan Moore academic circle due to academic factions and camp exclusion, the council couldnât possibly deprive him of all resources, at the very least, they would grant Master Gravie full authority over relevant projects.
This, to Ian and Adalbert, who lack various true âconfidentialâ information, such as âOuter God Researchâ, would be the real qualitative change!
"If weâre going to freeload, we should freeload big â just freeloading Master Gravie isnât enough. We definitely have to freeload the entire Canaan Moore Federationâs information repository!"
By now, Ian had made up his mind to protect Master Gravie in Canaan Moore at all costs. Respecting the elderly isnât particularly important; the most important thing is to use the otherâs status as a straw, to voraciously extract Canaan Mooreâs heritage!
BOOM BOOM BOOM ââ
A series of deep cannon sounds echoed.
Ian and the master walked out of the storage room, and they saw special cannonballs loaded with pheromones being fired, tracing arcs in the darkness, and landing at different gathering points of the magical beasts.
With Ianâs vision, he could see the scenes unfolding in the distance.
As various pheromones fell, just like cold water splashing into hot oil, the entire sea instantly exploded into chaos, thoroughly churning.
Creatures secrete a small amount of pheromones, with low purity and little stimulation, like the scent of a banana, present but not intense.
But the pheromones refined by Ian are like banana flavoring; just a tiny bit can make the presence of a rich scent clear to anyone!
The tides and waves conveniently helped disperse and dilute these overly intense pheromones to a level that the magical beasts could tolerate.
The three great magical beast tribes, originally coexisting peacefully under the Kingâs orders, began visibly agitating. Following Ianâs instructions, the various pheromone cannonballs were precisely fired to stir the conflicts among different magical beasts â beast tides are inherently difficult, as creatures are natural enemies or prey to one another, even one side being the otherâs predator, truly gathering into a tide, how is it possible not to have any conflicts?
With the Kingâs constraint, even if thereâs some friction, everything can remain peaceful, since beasts only demonstrate intelligence at the Second Energy Level when they have a soul, while First Energy Level and non-magical beasts rely more on instincts and are more obedient to the Kingâs orders.
But if the Kingâs orders were interrupted by a dragon...
Things would end up just like now.
Swish â amidst the waves, countless Wandering Colossal Snails, resembling cones, suddenly went into a frenzy, jetting streams of water like torpedoes, charging directly towards the Calamity Starfish floating nearby on the sea surface.
The real ability of the Wandering Colossal Snails is their control over water and powerful motility; they can physically ram through the hulls of ironclad ships, and some snailsâ toxins are evolved from capturing and adapting to toxic marine life with their powerful bodies.
The Calamity Starfish are indeed part of their diet, merely not a priority. But now, under an unknown strong appetite and a clear predation command, the Wandering Colossal Snails, previously crafting ice bombs to attack the Siren, turned to assault the Calamity Starfish concentrating water currents.
The sharp âtooth spikesâ at their bodyâs front can directly pierce through most shellfishâs protective shells and the carapaces of reptiles; even the hard bodies of merely echinoderms will be easily punctured by the tooth spikes, allowing them to suck out the innards!
Facing this, the Calamity Starfish wouldnât willingly become the food of other beasts and launched a counterattack â the edges of their tentacles are razor-sharp blades, slashing down could strip a layer off even reinforced concrete, the Wandering Colossal Snails are not known for defense, and can easily be pried open, attacking the vulnerable body inside!
Crunch! Splatter!
The battle between the two magical beasts was extremely fierce; either the starfish would be pierced by the snail and its innards hollowed out, or the snail would be smashed by the starfish, being immediately digested by the opponentâs expelled stomach sac!
The Wandering Colossal Snail and Calamity Starfish were at each otherâs throats, making the blood boil.
But on the other side, the Ironscale Sea Snakes... the atmosphere was more romantic.
A multitude of sea snakes began intertwining, entwining regardless of time or place, forming a dark forest under the sea, each strand of seaweed crisscrossing, overlapping, delving deeper...
Accompanied by the screech of iron clashing, the battlefield turned into a mating ground in an instant...
An unsightly sight. Truly unsightly!
