72: Chapter 72 An Unexpected Joy: The Male and Female Thieves Deliver Something Again

"Right? It's actually quite cute for such a small thing!"

"It can be a mascot! Even if it's not used for battle, that's not bad!"

"Hahaha! Don't underestimate him! I'll show you what he can do at the Grand Competition!"

"Huh?" Yu Xiaotang opened her mouth in surprise. "You're actually going to take it to the Grand Competition! Hahaha! I'm going to get one too! Let's see how my big Blue-Shelled Crab bullies your little shrimp!"

Upon hearing about the Grand Competition, Yu Xiaotang immediately became interested and flew off in a flash to start searching for a Blue-Shelled Crab.

Honestly, looking at its skills, it's just like the Spark Dolls from Ultraman Ginga, where it can turn a part of a Spirit Beast into its own combat weapon.

Furthermore, its potential is worth cultivating properly! With some good training, it can "run wild" during trials!

But Lin Kuang's luck is truly good; he managed to catch a mutated Blue-Shelled Crab just like that.

"Hahaha! This luck is really great! Once I reach the Fourth Realm, I'll immediately sign a contract with you," Lin Kuang said, kissing his spatial ring.

Pei Yuhan is coming, right? Then he can get a lot of Medicinal Pills for Spirit Beasts from her; he won't have to worry about not increasing his Rank at all!

However, he could also catch a few more. After all, he hadn't eaten hairy crab in a long time; stewing one would be a good choice.

An hour later, Lin Kuang sat on the beach, blowing on a roasted crab.

"Did you catch one? A big blue crab?" Lin Kuang asked curiously when he saw Yu Xiaotang flying toward him.

"What are you doing? Is this a Blue-Shelled Crab?" Yu Xiaotang covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "You didn't roast that Blue-Shelled Crab from earlier, did you?"

"Blue-Shelled Crabs are so common on the roadside, I just caught a few to taste!" Lin Kuang calmly took a bite. "Mmm! Not bad! Have one!"

Yu Xiaotang took the roasted crab, took a bite, and praised, "Although it's delicious, it's slightly inferior to what this Young Miss makes!"

Lin Kuang just smiled. What Yu Xiaotang made was inedible, but he didn't want to discourage her.

However, Yu Xiaotang also felt it was strange. In such a large Heavenly Pool, apart from the Blue-Shelled Crab they were eating, she hadn't seen any other Spirit Beasts.

It was as if they had all hidden away, as if they were avoiding something.

"Ah! There were clearly so many Blue-Shelled Crabs earlier, why couldn't I find even one!" Yu Xiaotang complained, though she was still smacking her lips.

After finishing the roasted Blue-Shelled Crab, Yu Xiaotang dragged her exhausted body back to the lighthouse with Lin Kuang!

"They are probably avoiding something terrifying!" Lin Kuang looked at the calm Heavenly Pool and began to wonder when the Dark Sea Evil Dragon would arrive.

He only needed to hold out for three seconds! He didn't know what Noah's situation was; if she just wanted to see the Dark Sea Evil Dragon and didn't intend to capture it, then if he acted rashly, he would be in a very dangerous position.

However, with his current trump cards, he had absolutely no ability to confront it head-on.

While Lin Kuang was still thinking about how to face the Dark Sea Evil Dragon, he felt a faint sense of oppression coming from beneath the water.

Lin Kuang watched as the light was slowly swallowed by darkness: Is it finally coming? The Dark Sea Evil Dragon!

Wait! Wait! I have Perception Wave! And with a 50% favorability towards Spirit Beasts, there's no need to fight to the death; I can gamble on these odds.

Moreover, Noah just said that this Dark Sea Evil Dragon is very lonely but restricted from leaving the Heavenly Pool. He could fully utilize this passive; as long as he didn't reveal any strong aggressive intentions, it shouldn't attack him, right?

"Hahaha! I really am a Genius!"

With a complete plan in mind, as soon as Lin Kuang returned to the lighthouse, he continued to take Medicinal Pills, immediately summoned all his Magic Treasures, and flew into the air.

[Ding! Mission triggered: Prevent The Bandit Duo from interfering with the Dark Sea Evil Dragon surfacing.]

[Mission reward: Yuanli Pill Formula and two Yuanli Pills.]

The Yuanli Pill could increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Third Realm by 100%. Oh! Whatever he wanted, it came! Really nice! Lin Kuang was still thinking about how to achieve a Breakthrough, and here they were, delivering items to him again.

He didn't know where they would appear, so Lin Kuang sent Xiao Wu. Although Lianyi was very strong, she wasn't very obedient.

"Xiao Wu, if you encounter them, find a way to electrocute them until they faint. It's best not to make any noise!"

"Understood, Master!" Xiao Wu nodded, then said with a cheeky grin, "And don't hurt them, right?"

Lin Kuang was frantically taking Medicinal Pills and giving instructions to Pink Nine and the Crystal Giant Turtle. After all, he didn't want Pink Nine to jump out directly; he was his trump card, and a single attack was very important.

"That's the specific plan. Do you understand?"

They all nodded in succession.

"Lin Kuang! Lin Kuang..." Yu Xiaotang ran down from upstairs and froze instantly when she saw Lin Kuang's team assembling.

She suddenly forgot what she wanted to call Lin Kuang for. Yu Xiaotang looked them over, and after confirming that it was Lin Kuang who had summoned them all, she asked curiously.

"Why did you assemble them all? Are you hiding something from me?"

Cold sweat suddenly poured down Lin Kuang's back. Damn! Is this Spider-Sense? So outrageous!

Lin Kuang laughed and said, "I just let them out for some fresh air. What's wrong? You can let out Rosa Flower, why can't I?"

"Nonsense!" Yu Xiaotang looked at the Crystal Giant Turtle, which was excitedly eating a Spirit Beast Medicinal Pill, and said in shock, "Eating Spirit Beast Medicinal Pills, drawing Talismans—there must be something going on!"

"Oh! Is there a problem with me practicing drawing Talismans? Besides, aren't Medicinal Pills meant for eating?"

"Hmm?" Yu Xiaotang frowned, wrinkled her nose, and said thoughtfully, "That's right! Medicinal Pills really are meant for eating!"

"Hahaha! I'll get you a Pill Formula for Spirit Beast Medicinal Pills sometime, then you can get some food for Rosa Flower too!"

Yu Xiaotang just felt that Lin Kuang's Spirit Beast was Cultivating too quickly. Now she had a conclusion: it was because of popping pills!

"Young Master Lin, you didn't give me such good things! Our friendship has faded! I'm punishing you by reducing it by one time this week!" Yu Xiaotang said, arms akimbo, pouting, and tilting her head in dissatisfaction.

"Next time for sure, I fed them all out this time! There's none left!" Lin Kuang waved his hands helplessly, but fortunately, Yu Xiaotang believed him!

"Oh? What did you want to see me for earlier?" Lin Kuang asked, changing the subject.

"Oh!" Being asked this, Yu Xiaotang suddenly remembered what she wanted to say. "Sister Noah said that a rare Spirit Beast, unseen in a hundred years, is appearing today!"

"She invited you and me to observe it with her at the top of the tower!"

"Oh! You go ahead, I'll be there in a while!" Lin Kuang's tone was very calm, which left Yu Xiaotang a bit confused.

Huh? In the past, he would have jumped up with excitement, right?

Why is his reaction so calm today? Is it because the Crystal Giant Turtle is evolving?

That's not right! He was happy for so long after catching such a small Blue-Shelled Crab! Why has he suddenly become so calm after hearing about a rare Spirit Beast?

Something is wrong! He definitely has something going on!
