Chapter 662: Chapter 662 Not Giving Up
"What is it? Why don’t you tell me? I might know what to do. Don’t worry. I won’t act on impulse."
The more Captain One-eyed was secretive about it, the stronger Ye Liuyun’s curiosity grew.
"Fine! I’ll tell you." Captain One-eyed knew Ye Liuyun would grow anxious if he refused to tell him anything.
"We’re talking about the Star Devouring Beast! Those creatures are so huge that they can swallow the entire planet! Moreover, they live in herds. How can we afford to provoke them?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Are they in the Fog Sea?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"Oh, they are out here too." Captain One-eyed pointed in a specific direction.
Ye Liuyun probed with his Divine Sense in that direction and spotted several strange-looking feral beasts.
These feral beasts resembled lions, but their eyes and mouths were much bigger than a lion’s. Somewhat, they looked more adorable and less ferocious.
The color of their bodies was similar to the fog around them, which was gray. Their ears and tails were small. If they hid in the mist and did not move an inch, it would be difficult for anyone to notice them.
These Star Devouring Beasts were much smaller than the warship. They were running around the warship and looking at it from time to time, as if they were enjoying racing with it.
"They don’t look fierce!" Ye Liuyun saw their appearances and behaviors were rather adorable instead of being ferocious.
"I know! These feral beasts are very curious creatures and won’t attack moving objects. They will even avoid warships. Some Star Devouring Beast’s cubs in the Fog Sea will often race with the warships and have fun."
Captain One-eyed paused and continued, "But then, you’ll be making a grave mistake if you think they aren’t ferocious. You can try and kill one if you don’t believe me. By then, a large group of Star Devouring Beasts at the Honorable Level will surely chase after you."
Li Sanniang chimed in, "These creatures won’t take the initiative to provoke you, and they will even avoid the warships if we drive in their direction. But then, if you dare provoke them, you’ll get to see the true colors of the domineering forces in the Fog Sea!"
Shorty added, "They have a strong sense of smell, which can trace you down even across dozens of miles, and they will keep chasing after you until they kill you."
"I see..." Ye Liuyun was lost in his thought as he stared at the Star Devouring Beasts.
Those Star Devouring Beasts were apparently in the Astral Realm, which should be easy for them to capture.
"What effect does their blood have on our bloodlines?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"They can increase our bloodlines’ qualities and strengthen our power of bloodline. It’s the best resource out there to improve our bloodlines! A bucket of Star Devouring Beasts’ blood is worth an astronomical figure in the market!" Li Sanniang explained.
One should know that bloodline resources were the most important in one’s cultivation.
The better the quality of one’s bloodline was, the faster the cultivation. Thus, strengthening the bloodline was crucial for a martial arts artist.
"You can’t get this even if you’re filthy rich, as no one will dare provoke these creatures! You should know a Star Devouring Beast of a bigger size can effortlessly swallow the entire Wolf-tooth Island." Captain One-eyed was concerned that Ye Liuyun would get the idea of attacking these Star Devouring Beasts.
"Don’t you dare think of moving them into your Interspatial Ring! These creatures will swallow even your Interspatial Ring!" Li Sanniang also reminded Ye Liuyun.
"Ha... Thanks for the reminder. I was indeed thinking of moving them inside." Ye Liuyun laughed awkwardly.
Captain One-eyed gasped in shock. "Are you out of your mind? Nothing can ever contain those creatures! They can bite through even the void! They can eat everything in existence!"
"I admire your courage!" Crippled gave Ye Liuyun a meaningful look. It was rare for him to say something to Ye Liuyun!
Li Sanniang also laughed. "The Star Devouring Beasts in the Astral Realm are not mature yet, and their blood qualities aren’t too high, so you can’t sell them at a good price. Only those at the Honorable Level can let you make a fortune."
"How can we capture them and take their blood?" Ye Liuyun was puzzled.
"Catch them? People normally kill them directly and take their blood. But then, it depends on your capability if you can escape the Fog Sea unscathed or not!"
As Captain One-eyed spoke, a fog figure suddenly flashed across their left ship rail.
Ye Liuyun and the others immediately probed their Divine Senses in that direction, and they saw a gigantic creature.
Ye Liuyun activated more of his Divine Sense and finally saw the whole appearance of the gigantic creature.
"It’s the Star Devouring Beast! It’s at the Honorable Level!" Captain One-eyed reminded Ye Liuyun.
Their warship was as insignificant as an ant in front of it.
Awoo!
The gigantic Honorable Level Star Devouring Beast cried out, and the little cubs immediately followed behind it and ran away.
Its growl shook Ye Liuyun and the others so much that they almost spat out blood. Their Divine Souls trembled violently. freewebnovel.cσ๓
After a long while, Captain One-eyed said to Ye Liuyun, "Do you see it now? That’s the power of an Honorable Level Star Devouring Beast! Do you still think of capturing and killing it?"
Crippled also said with certainty, "You can dream of achieving that when your strength is not yet at the Honorable Level!"
Ye Liuyun finally returned to his senses. Staring at the Star Devouring Beast that had run far away from them, he was still unwilling to give up on his idea.
"I will find a way to do that!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed inwardly.
"How did this creature grow so huge?" he blurted out.
"Because they have no predators and can feed on anything!" said Captain One-eyed.
They noticed the glint in Ye Liuyun’s eyes and shook their heads.
"Keep an eye on him!" Captain One-eyed passed a message to everyone else’s consciousness out of concern that Ye Liuyun would not give up on that bizarre idea.
In the following days, Ye Liuyun spent more time in the control room as he observed the Star Devouring Beasts’ cubs out there in the Fog Sea.
He noticed these Star Devouring Beasts were rather timid. They would be intimidated and quickly run away even if he stood out on the deck.
However, they were very courageous toward objects that would not move, and it was true that they could feed on anything.
Ye Liuyun witnessed with his own eyes how the few Star Devouring Beasts cubs swallowed an entire ruined warship. They even absorbed and devoured the martial arts artists’ corpses in one gulp.
Ye Liuyun used his Golden Phantom Eyes to closely observe the Star Devouring Beast’s internal system. He noticed whatever these feral beasts consumed would rapidly be decomposed inside their bodies and transform into energy to help their growth.
As time passed, Ye Liuyun slowly devised a rather bold plan.
"I’ll follow the Star Devouring Beasts cubs back to their nest and find an Honorable Level Star Devouring Beast. I’ll let it swallow me and go inside its body to take its blood. Then, I’ll kill half of its soul before controlling its body with my Divine Soul to make it leave its herd. After that, I’ll find a way to break out of its body. In the end, I’ll get rid of its scent on my body with the Golden Crow Sacred Fire before making my escape."
However, the first step of his plan was already challenging.
These Star Devouring Beasts were especially sensitive to Spatial Force.
Ye Liuyun tried several times to approach them through the void, but they discovered him before he could get near them, and they quickly ran away.
It seemed that these Star Devouring Beasts were born to be sensitive toward Spatial Force.
Li Sanniang and the others even teased him after learning what he did.
He even pretended to be dead, but he still could not deceive these creatures. These Star Devouring Beasts seemed to differentiate living beings from dead beings.
