Chapter 993 - Ear Strings

The little hedgehog couldn’t believe its ears. Were the Mermaid siblings challenging the Ghost Pond Qilin? Could it be that after challenging someone of a higher level, the Mermaid siblings would have to make history in the World of Magical Beasts?

“What challenge? Just tell us where the Ghost Pond Qilin is.”

“It’s in the Nine Serenities Ghost Pool.”

“What kind of place is the Nine Serenities Ghost Pool?”

“It’s a very scary place. It’s the burial place of magical beasts. There are many soul forms of magical beasts inside. However, the Ghost Pond Qilin is unable to come out from the Inferno of the Netherworld. That place is close to a volcano.”

“A volcano? There’s a volcano here?”

“It’s the Inferno of the Netherworld.”

“Where is it?”

“It’s at the easternmost part of the World of Magical Beasts, near the sun. Mermaid siblings, are you going to the Inferno of the Netherworld?”

“It’s none of your business. We’re just asking around.”

“Alright, but Mermaid siblings, are you going to participate in tonight’s Magical Beast Advancement? We’re very optimistic that you’ll challenge it again.”

“We’ll go and watch the Magical Beast Advancement tonight, but who’s going to fight? We’re only going to watch tonight.”

“It’s a T-rex versus a snow mastiff.”

“Snow mastiff? Mastiff?”

“Yeah, they’re all Level 4. Who knows how exciting tonight will be? We’ll all go and watch.”

“Level 4? Green?”

“Yes, Green. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a green crystal duel.”

Da Bao and Little Treasure looked at each other. Of course, they had to go and have a good look. Now that they had a certain status in the World of Magical Beasts, they weren’t afraid of being eaten by those magical beasts. As long as they didn’t leave the battlefield, they weren’t afraid of anything happening. This was also the only time they could get along peacefully in the World of Magical Beasts. During a challenge, no magical beasts could kill at will.

“You can go, little hedgehog.”

“Um, Mermaid brother and sister, can you return my white crystal to me?”

“Why? You want it back? It’s not impossible.”

“Really? Then how will you return it to me?”

Little Treasure glanced at Da Bao, then said to the little hedgehog,”Help us gather information, and we’ll return the white crystal to you. You have to gather information about the World of Magical Beasts. Come here every day at this time to report to us.”

“It’s that simple?” The little hedgehog could not believe that it was so simple. Da Bao and Little Treasure nodded. Anyway, they had 13 white crystals, which was very close to 20, so it wasn’t a big deal to give one back to the little hedgehog.

Da Bao was such a stingy person. When she knew that they had to find a spy, she was very generous and was willing to take out the crystals.

The little hedgehog quickly nodded. Little Treasure placed the crystals on the ground. The little hedgehog opened its mouth and swallowed the crystal, as if it was afraid that they would go back on their words.

Just now, it was just asking for help. It didn’t expect them to be so generous. This Mermaid brother and sister were really generous.

“Don’t even think about running away. Otherwise, the next time we see you, we won’t show any mercy.”

“Don’t worry. We magical beasts are very trustworthy. We won’t run away. I’ll leave first. I’ll go and get the first-hand information for you guys.”

The little hedgehog slipped away. After Da Bao and Little Treasure tested that they were indeed able to communicate with magical beasts, they returned to the lake. They had no idea that they had truly become members of the Magical Beast Clan.

Of course, when Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao found out about it later, they would be surprised. They would not talk about it for the time being.

Let’s talk about the other side.

Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan squatted in the narrow cave. After hastily eating, the two of them lay on the ground and rested in extreme fatigue.

As expected, the second layer of the forest was much more difficult than the first layer. They could encounter a few massacres every day. The fighting skills of the two of them against the beasts were improving at a rocket-like speed. However, the danger was indeed much greater.

Even now, the two of them had different degrees of injuries on their bodies. Fortunately, it was not serious, but one could imagine how powerful the attacks of these wild beasts were.

Fortunately, they did not stay there for nothing. They had already walked at least half of the way to the second layer of the forest, and the future was already in front of them.

“Are you tired?”

“I’m fine. How about you? Does the injury on your hand still hurt? I didn’t expect the magical beasts here to be so powerful.”

Shen Xiaoxiao nestled in Yan Kuan’s arms and gently touched Yan Kuan’s arm. It had been scratched by a tiger, but it was not bad. At least they had obtained a yellow crystal.

However, the highest level of magical beasts they had seen here was this yellow one. As for the blue crystal magical beast that Yan Kuan had mentioned earlier, they had not encountered it.

“The magical beasts here are not considered powerful. The truly powerful ones are still in the third layer of the forest.”

“Sigh, I wonder how the two children are doing. If the magical beasts are so powerful, then what about the children? Will they be able to live peacefully?”

“Don’t worry. At least there’s a dragon here. You have to look on the bright side.”

“Yeah, that’s all we can do. However, do you feel that tonight is especially quiet?”

“Yes, it’s the same as seven days ago. Do you remember that night a week ago when we were on tenterhooks for the entire night, but it was never as peaceful as it was before?”

“I remember. What’s going on? Don’t tell me these magical beasts have a rest every seven days?”

“Not necessarily. I think they have other things to do, such as entering the third layer of the forest.”

“Entering the third layer? Then should we follow them?”

“Fool, if we follow them now, won’t we be beaten up by them on the way?”

“Yeah, but I’m curious. What exactly did they go to do?”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely know when it’s time to find out. It’s such a rare moment. Let’s have a good night’s rest.”

“That’s all we can do.”

“How many crystals do we have?”

“Four yellow ones, ten white ones.”

“The harvest isn’t small.”

“But it’s not enough. I’m worried that we won’t have enough in the third layer forest.”

“Then we’ll kill more. It’s already more than half. Now, we have to be more stable because the further we go, the more powerful the magical beasts we encounter.”

“Okay, understood.”

“Go to sleep. Maybe the children are asleep too.”

“Da Bao is so delicate. I wonder if she lets Little Treasure tell her a story before she goes to sleep.”

“It’s good for a daughter to be delicate. Little Treasure is very sensible. Da Bao is sensible too. Don’t worry.”

“I know. I’m just a little worried.”

The parents did not know that their worried children were currently being watched by all the magical beasts from the second and third layer of the World of Magical Beasts.

All the magical beasts were looking at these two mutated Mermaid species, the new magical beasts known as the Mermaid siblings. It was said that they directly challenged those of a higher level and rose from Level 1 to Level 3. They were the idols of all the low-level magical beasts.

When they arrived, they almost received the adoring gazes of all the magical beasts from the second layer of the World of Magical Beasts.

“Why do you call us the Mermaid brother and sister? It should be the Mermaid sister and brother.”

“Because everyone’s eyes are bright. With one look, they can tell that I’m a little stronger than you.”

“No, it’s because you’re a little taller.”

“Alright, you can say that. Let’s go. We should be standing at the Level 3 area. I didn’t expect that we would secretly see from the tree that we were standing in the magical beast encirclement and have a qualitative leap.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m very impressed with myself now, but I’m looking forward to the appearance of the snow mastiff tonight. I want to see if it’s as powerful as our General and Marshal.”

“Alright, let’s take a good look...”
