Chi Yu hovered above the pool, trying to let the light shine on a wider area so that Lu Yuan could see clearly what was emerging from the water.

However.

Looking at the strange creatures that kept jumping out of the pool, Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain.

"What are all these things?"

Although it lives underwater, it looks like a human baby that is only a few months old.

Not only that.

The sounds emanating from its mouth were even more grating.

It was like the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

Little Yi, standing next to him, also covered her ears, unable to bear it any longer.

If Lu Yuan hadn't yet given the order, she might have already rushed forward, unable to bear it any longer.

but.

Lu Yuan was clearly more cautious and had more things to consider.

Since coming to this world and starting his pet shop, he has learned a lot about taming beasts and monsters. He wouldn't say he knows all the different kinds of beasts, but he can recognize at least 90% of them.

But.

Lu Yuan squinted at the creatures swimming rapidly in the pool.

This creature was undoubtedly a kind of demon beast, but he had never seen it in books or ancient texts.

"Could it be a type of monster that hasn't been discovered yet?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked somewhat surprised.

If that's the case, then the Beast Taming Arena, as the master of the secret realm, will reap immeasurable benefits.

After all, discovering new monster races involves more than just one aspect; just considering the expansion of the race encyclopedia alone, it is an achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

But before they can be engraved in the encyclopedia, they need to pay the price for blocking Lu Yuan's path.

"Ling Ye, use Thunder Battle of the Eight Desolations!"

"roar--!"

Ling Ye roared and then burst into a burst of dazzling purple lightning, charging into the pool with tremendous force.

A series of crackling electric shocks rang out, and the entire surface of the pool suddenly began to boil. The unidentified creatures in the pool tumbled and jumped even faster, struggling violently.

at the same time.

A tantalizing aroma, reminiscent of grilled fish, wafted into Lu Yuan's nostrils.

"I must say, it smells pretty good! How about Chuxing makes fish for dinner?"

Lu Yuan squinted and curled the corners of his mouth.

Since Lu Yuan knew that Ling Ye's lightning attacks could cause a lot of damage to these unknown monsters, he decided to let Xiao Yi and Chi Lin watch the battle from the sidelines while keeping watch on the surroundings, so that Ling Ye could focus on dealing with these things in the water.

Akabane hovered above the pool, providing illumination for them.

Seeing the entire pool filled with purple lightning, Lu Yuan's nerves, which had been tense ever since he entered the cave, gradually relaxed.

However.

Just then.

A sharp, piercing scream suddenly rang out from the depths of the pool.

"What the hell is that noise?!"

Lu Yuan immediately became alert and squinted at the pool.

Suddenly.

A dark shadow emerged from the pool, its eyes, the size of basketballs, gleaming in the darkness, making it look particularly eerie.

"Akaba!"

"唳——!"

Lu Yuan gave Lu Yuan a look, and the latter immediately understood and flew towards the direction of the dark figure.

Only then did they see clearly what the dark figure in front of them actually was.

"A serrated piranha?"

Looking at the figure that was at least five meters tall in front of him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, the monster in front of him should be the legendary sawtooth piranha.

It is said that long ago, before humans had the ability to control beasts as they do now, they were the lowest of the food chains, even considered livestock like chickens, ducks, and geese. Among them, the serrated piranha was a monster that loved to eat people, hence its name.

But after humans gradually mastered the ability to control beasts and once again became the top species in the food chain, the serrated piranhas should have been killed to extinction. How could they appear here?

After a moment of contemplation.

Lu Yuan suppressed his doubts and focused his gaze on the serrated piranha that was clearly an adult.

Now is not the time to think about those things; we should first consider how to deal with this huge thing in front of us.

If he wasn't mistaken, this sawtooth piranha was forced out because it couldn't withstand Ling Ye's attacks, which meant that Ling Ye's attacks had a very significant effect on it.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan once again gave Ling Ye the order to attack.

"Ling Ye, unleash a lightning attack at maximum power!"

Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately ordered Ling Ye to use her full power in an attack.

When facing a highly aggressive monster like the serrated piranha, you absolutely cannot give it any chance to use its skills, otherwise they will easily be buried in this narrow cave.

Upon receiving Lu Yuan's order, Ling Ye launched an attack without hesitation.

Lightning, glowing with purple light, illuminated the entire cave and hurtled towards the jagged piranha not far in front of it with lightning speed.

at the same time.

Sensing danger, the serrated piranha reacted quickly.

Suddenly, it turned around, revealing a huge tail fin that collided directly with the purple lightning emitted by Ling Ye.

boom--!

A violent explosion rang out, and the entire cave trembled from the impact.

Chi Lin and Xiao Yi quickly shielded Lu Yuan in the middle to prevent the cave from collapsing under the attack.

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Yuan patted the two little ones with a gratified expression, then looked up at Ling Ye and Chi Yu, who were already locked in battle with the sawtooth piranhas.

The serrated piranha is not of a low grade.

Even without system identification, one can determine from spiritual energy perception that this serrated piranha's level is definitely no lower than the ninth level of the Heavenly Evolution, and it is even very likely that it will soon break through to the Illusion God level.

In comparison.

Ling Ye and Chi Yu, whose levels are only at the eighth rank of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, are slightly inferior.

Furthermore, the serrated piranha was in the pool, and the space inside the cave was extremely small. Considering that Lu Yuan was still inside the cave, Ling Ye and Chi Yu dared not use any area-of-effect attacks with great destructive power.

but.

With the help of their talent and bloodline, the two little ones managed to suppress the high-level serrated piranha in the water.

This is where the correctness of Lu Yuan's steady and pragmatic decision-making becomes fully apparent.

Judging from this attack pattern, the kids who have been greatly upgraded have experienced a qualitative leap in strength.

Lu Yuan was even confident.

If they were to encounter a high-level beast tamer of the Illusion God realm again now, they might even be able to put up a fight!

While Lu Yuan was carefully observing the battle situation and his mind was racing,

The battle at the front has finally come to an end!
