Chapter 71 I Want to Be a Salted Fish (2)



Although you can vaguely sense through your mental power that the contracted beast is in this haunted house area, you can't find it, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Song Yu nodded pitifully, fearing that if he nodded too slowly, the police captain would get angry.

Fortunately, the new police captain, although he looked burly, like an underground boxer, and his skin was tanned, but he actually had a good temper. He walked carefully in front of the 38 doors, and asked his ghost dog to remember the names of the 38 haunted houses. Then he asked the amusement park staff to search for the ghost snakes still in the haunted houses through the monitors.

However……

More than a dozen pairs of eyes scanned the monitor several times, but failed to find the ghost snake.

The amusement park staff member sitting in front of the monitor scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "I'm really sorry, we have too many surveillance cameras here, so the surveillance cameras in the monitoring room are all silent cameras. There's no way to broadcast sound, so we can only confirm the situation through the picture... But these haunted houses are so large, there are always some places that are blind spots for the cameras..."

"Now that it's not visible on the cameras, it's likely that the ghost snake is hiding in a blind spot in one of these haunted houses..." To make his words seem more convincing, the amusement park staff patted his chest and said, "Comrade Police, rest assured. As soon as the ghost snake appears and summons any skeleton soldiers and they enter the camera range, I can immediately tell you which haunted house it is in."

"Okay! Once the ghost snake appears, I'll have my contracted beast drive it out of the haunted house immediately." The police captain nodded and looked at Song Yu and said, "When the time comes, I want you to stand in front of those doors and take the ghost snake back to the beast control space immediately. After we resolve this matter, we'll go to the police station to file a record."

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu was weak and droopy: "Okay, police uncle."

As a typical Red Flag youth, if his contracted beast gets into trouble, he naturally has to take responsibility.

Song Yu could only stand dejectedly in front of the 38 haunted house doors at the entrance of the haunted house, waiting for the police captain's ghost dog to bring out the ghost snake that was in an unknown room.

Fortunately, there were more than a dozen police officers and staff, plus the cameras in the haunted house were quite powerful.

After about 15 minutes, the group captured the ghost snake's trace again.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's that haunted house with the beauty and the dragon! Oh my god, hurry up and get the real NPC playing the role of the girl in the haunted house with the beauty and the dragon out of here! What if she gets seriously injured by the skeleton soldiers of the ghost snake? Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Oh no, the call isn't going through! Staff aren't allowed to bring phones to work!"

"Fuck! Why didn't you just notify the real NPCs in the haunted house to evacuate immediately?"

However, after the group caught the trace of the ghost snake, the entire monitoring room became chaotic. The police captain directed his ghost dog to quickly enter the haunted house of the beauty and the dragon, while directing the contracted beasts of other colleagues to quickly enter the haunted house to protect and notify other real NPCs.

at this time.

Youyou had no idea how many people were outside the house and how chaotic the situation was because of her. She was crying with tears in her eyes and her whole body was wilted.

But every time it felt like it was about to lose its energy and was frightened by something else that scared it, it would feel full of strength all over its body. This situation lasted five or six times in a row, and even it itself felt puzzled.

"Wow, what kind of hell is this place? Why is it so scary? It's really terrifying here. What should I do if those knives, guns, and broken bones hit me? Why am I so pitiful and weak? Wuuuu." Youyou hiccuped and flew in the air trembling with fear.

Because of its fear and terror, it had no idea that the previous six haunted houses had allowed it to evolve from the larval stage to the growth stage, and then from the first stage of the growth stage to a fifth stage beast. And every time it was wrapped in the light of evolution, the original physical fatigue and consumption would disappear.

In fact, if Ghost Snake had not stayed in the exotic beast cub breeding base every day over the years, often eating with other highly qualified exotic beast cubs, eating a lot of rare treasures and breeding food, and occasionally even receiving special treatment from some breeders out of sympathy, even if Ghost Snake had the opportunity this time, it would definitely not be able to break through and evolve so quickly.

only……

So far, Youyou doesn’t know.

It doesn't even know whether it has evolved or grown in size.

The Level 5 ghost lizard looked around vigilantly with its big eyes, but its snake body, which was about seven or eight meters long, was coiled into a ball and shrunk into a twist.

The body of the ghost-type monster was already as illusory as a ball of gas. Its original seven or eight-meter-long snake body was shrunk into a cartoon snake head, with a round ball behind its butt. The shape was particularly shocking and weird.

Fortunately, Youyou the snake didn't care, and even felt that it would be safer to coil itself into a pretzel.

The ghost lizard sniffed and said pitifully: "Why is Xiao Yu missing? We clearly agreed, we agreed..."

Doudou scratched his head with his little paws, and there was pity in his eyes. Forget it, he had just signed a contract with the beastmaster this morning and had not received any promises at all.

"Oh, I don't know where to go out? Why is it so gloomy around here? It looks so scary..." The ghost lizard tried hard to fly into the sky. Although the ghost beasts can fly in the air like a ball of gas, snakes are animals that cannot fly. Even if the ghost lizard can fly into the air with its exquisite body, it still cannot soar in the blue sky like flying beasts.

As a snake, it is not easy for it to fly three or four meters high.

Fortunately, it can fly to a height of three or four meters, so it doesn't have to worry about the many creatures below that make it feel panic and scared. Those things that inexplicably wriggle, bleed, run and jump, and make all kinds of strange noises are really scary!

"Huh, but this time... this place doesn't seem so scary?" The ghost snake turned its head and looked around at the surrounding environment.

This is a dense jungle with ancient trees spreading to the top. A red full moon hangs in the sky, emitting a faint blood-red light.

Not far in front of the red moon, there is an ancient castle-like building about ten meters high. It looks particularly magnificent and majestic, especially the clusters of vines on the castle's stone bricks, which further demonstrate the historical atmosphere of the entire castle.

But as a snake that has been in the exotic beast breeding base for more than 40 years...

Youyou had never seen any ancient castle, nor did she understand any history. She only felt that the castle under the blood moon seemed to be emitting layers of cold air, which was pressing directly into her face. Especially the gusts of cold wind that came from nowhere made Youyou feel that her light body seemed to be blown away by the cold wind.

Youyou shuddered, hugged her arms with her two small front paws, turned around and wanted to float away.

Although there were no terrifying skeleton soldiers, no terrifying woman in a red wedding dress with a bloody face, and no long-legged monsters rushing towards it from all directions, for some reason...

It always feels that the surrounding environment makes it feel creepy.

Oh, it forgot that it was a ghost snake and had no hair.

If the amusement park staff had heard Youyou's inner thoughts at this moment, they would have burst into tears, saying that it must be cold with the air conditioner on! And it must be very scary to listen to the scary music! But... the amusement park staff didn't know all this.

“Roar! Aa ...

However, just as Youyou turned around and tried to drift off, a gigantic black dragon, about seven or eight meters tall and more than ten meters across with its wings spread out, suddenly appeared in her sight! The dragon's pupils were pale gold, and it exuded a terrifying aura of oppression.

Youyou, who had curled up her entire snake body into a ball, which was seven or eight meters long and shrunk into the size of a basketball, was instantly frightened to the point of having her scalp tingle. She was in panic, and her snake pupils widened!

It is almost innate in the genes of alien beasts, the fear of the inferior towards the superior!

Youyou opened her mouth and eyes wide, her face filled with fear and she was speechless. If she wasn't a ghost-type monster with naturally colorless skin, Youyou would have been grayish-white and green from her back to her entire body!

This extremely panicked look made Ghost Snake have only one word in his mind at this moment - escape!

Run! Run!

Why is there a terrifying black dragon here?! Wow, this is so scary, this is so scary!

However.

The fear brought by the black dragon was too great. In addition, Youyou had curled herself up into a ball at this moment, not looking like a snake at all. She could still use her four claws to dig in the air to speed up her flight. Looking at the black dragon getting closer and closer, Youyou's mind turned into a mess.

Is it going to be eaten by the black dragon?!

"Wow, wow, wow! No, no! Look, I also have four claws, a tail, and scales on my body... We are all of the same species, please don't eat me~ Wow, wow, wow, this is too scary!" Youyou looked at the tall black dragon and cried with tears and snot.

But the huge black dragon was still flapping its wings and roaring furiously at it: "Roar! Roar!"

Dense black dragon scales, strong dragon tail and dragon wings, facing the black dragon in front that was roaring and roaring loudly at it, Youyou felt that the black dragon on the opposite side must have discovered that it was not a dragon and wanted to eat it with its furious roar.

"But all I lack is a pair of wings and two dragon horns, wow wow wow ~ We are so similar, maybe we were one family 20,000 years ago, wow wow wow ~ Don't come over here, don't come over here! I am a dragon, I really am a dragon ~ I'm just, I'm just a dragon with a slightly lower bloodline level!" As if to convince the black dragon in front, or to convince himself, groups of black mist gathered on the head and back of the ghost lizard, and groups of invisible gas changed back and forth in the black mist, and a group of dragon wings and dragon horns that were exactly the same as the black dragon in front suddenly appeared on the ghost lizard!

"Wow, look, I really am a dragon, really a dragon, wow!!!" A faint gray halo flickered around the ghost lizard. The ghost lizard, which was originally so huge that it rolled itself into a ball, suddenly shrank in size, with wings on its back and two horns on its head, becoming a ghost dragon about the size of a palm!

The ghost dog that finally got into the Beauty and the Dragon dungeon: "......???????"

Real beauty NPC: "????"

No, were they dazzled just now? Why could a ghost lizard suddenly turn into a ghost dragon?

Is this some magical thing???

10 minutes later.

As Youyou howled loudly, crying and shouting "This is too scary" as she rushed out...

After Song Yu finally blocked the door and took Youyou back to his Beast Taming Space, he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead. When his mental power swept towards the Youyou in the Beast Taming Space, which had wings on its back and horns on its head and was flying back and forth in the forest of the Beast Taming Space, Song Yu was also dumbfounded!

"This...what's going on?" Song Yu was confused.

The police captain and the Haunted House staff, who had also come down from the surveillance room, were also stunned. A dozen or so people looked dazed and walked lightly, as if they had been hit by Ten Fragrance Soft Gold Powder.

"Am I seeing things? The ghost-type monster before was clearly a ghost-type lizard, right?" He Zhiwen's voice was hoarse and his expression was dazed, but he subconsciously opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Yu, the police and the staff of the haunted house.

"It was indeed a ghost-like lizard before. The camera in the haunted house captured its previous appearance..." The police captain nodded.

Just now, in the monitoring room, he not only watched the haunted house room the ghost dog entered, but also had the haunted house staff play the previous footage of the ghost snake in the other six haunted houses. So the police captain not only saw the ghost snake evolve into the ghost dragon at the bottom of the video, but also saw the ghost snake, which was originally the size of a palm, slowly evolve to seven or eight meters in length, curling itself into a ball.

certainly……

Previously, the captain of the police squad thought that a ghost snake that twisted itself into a ball might have a problem with its brain. Otherwise, how could it follow the beastmaster for no apparent reason and then turn around to destroy so many haunted house equipment?

But now...

Police Squad Leader: Is there something wrong with your brain? No!

Police squad leader: This is the unique temperament and behavior pattern of a genius!

Police Squad Leader: Have you ever seen a super-high-level ghost-type beast that can evolve from a low-level bloodline ghost lizard cub into a sixth-level ghost dragon in a single day? No?! That must be the unique talent of this genius snake!

"Director, I'm sorry..." Song Yu's voice was dry, and he subconsciously shrank his neck when he saw the person in charge of Little Star Amusement Park.

It was just a matter of sticking your head out and getting hurt. Anyway, you had to pay compensation, so Song Yu mustered up the courage to look at He Zhiwen, who was in a trance at the moment, and bit her lip: "Director, I wonder how much compensation I need to pay for the damage to the haunted house this time?"

She only had the tens of millions she earned from selling the second-tier Scarlet Cloud Spiritual Fruits in the Snowfield Secret Realm. She had originally planned to save this money for snacks...

But now seeing the dazed look on the face of the person in charge opposite her, she felt that those tens of millions might be a little too little.

After all, she had been in these haunted houses before. Each extended dimension was like a large school, and there was no telling how many things had been destroyed by Youyou. If it weren't for the ghost lizard in the Beast Taming Space, it was too pitiful. She had brought the little guy to the haunted house because she wanted to use desensitization therapy on him and also wanted to go to the amusement park for a few rounds. The responsibility was hers. She almost wanted to rush forward and hug Bai Yuhan's neck, letting the Void Dragon take the three of them away quickly.

Fortunately, although she didn't have much conscience, she still had some.

then……

Song Yu wiped his face fiercely.

Seeing the director across from her, seemingly in a trance due to the destruction of the haunted house equipment, she dejectedly spoke again with her head hung low, "Director, don't worry... I'll compensate for any damage. Even though I'm only a high school student, I have experience entering a 4-star secret realm. I'll work hard to repay you later..."

In an effort to make himself look more reliable, Song Yu even beautified what happened in the secret realm of the snowfield during that period of time, and added a thick filter of deception.

She made up her mind that if the money in her bank card was not enough to pay the compensation, she would have to exchange all the points in the genius training camp for rare treasures. Then, if that was still not enough, she would have to beg Uncle Qiuqiu to take her to the secret realm, and then slowly earn money to pay back Uncle Qiuqiu and Quanquan.

It’s as if I’ve already seen the miserable working life of working five jobs every day for four years in college.

Song Yu's whole face turned gloomy.

Song Yu was in a mess, like a worker who was about to go to work and was listless, waiting for the verdict from the director of Little Star Amusement Park.

"Oh..." Song Yu sighed, his mind full of the prop wreckage that he had seen in the monitoring room earlier.

Just when Song Yu was wondering if he would not be able to pay off his debts in the next four years of college, and might need to work for another five or ten years...

A pair of big hands of a middle-aged man suddenly tightly grasped Song Yu's hands!

Song Yu: ???

Other people around: ?????

Bai Yuhan had a stern expression on his face. He subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's right hand, just about to throw him over his shoulder.

He Zhiwen, the director of the Little Star Amusement Park, who was holding Song Yu's hands tightly opposite, completely ignored the pain in his right hand. He looked at Song Yu with bright eyes, his face full of excitement as if he was a hungry brown bear seeing sweet honey!

He Zhiwen was so excited that his smile stretched almost to the corners of his mouth. His eight gleaming white teeth nearly blinded everyone else. "Classmate, I didn't expect you to still be in high school... Are high school students nowadays so amazing?! Classmate, you're so much better than I was back then!"

Song Yu: …???

He Zhiwen's eyes lit up, his blazing gaze like a blazing fire. "I wonder what this classmate's name is? My last name is He, so you can just call me Uncle He. Although I don't know your last name, judging by your appearance, we must have been from the same family 800 years ago!"

Song Yu was confused: "..." What the hell?

Although we all have two eyes and one nose, how can we be one family when we are separated by time and space?

Uncle, don't joke!

He Zhiwen: "Haha, classmate, you see we're already so familiar with each other...why not have your contracted beast endorse the haunted house at Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Amusement Park? Do you think your contracted beast evolved in the haunted house at our Little Star Amusement Park? Isn't that a coincidence? It's fate!"

Song Yu: ...

This time Song Yu understood immediately.

He Zhiwen was so excited that he didn't even bother to hide his thoughts. He got straight to the point and said, "Student, if your contracted beast is willing to advertise our Little Star Amusement Park Haunted House and let us edit the video we filmed there as a promotional video, not only will we not have to pay you any compensation, we can even sign an advertising contract with you!"

He Zhiwen's cheeks flushed with excitement. He seemed to have traveled through time and space to the future, witnessing the booming haunted house at the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Amusement Park. "How about a 28-cent advertising contract? You split the difference, and I split the difference. How about 80?! If you're willing, have your contracted beast advertise our Asteroid Amusement Park. I guarantee that within two years, you'll be a billionaire!"

Knowing what the other person was thinking and why he was so attentive at the moment, Song Yu blinked and changed his pitiful look.

What business is profitable these days?

That must be Beast Taming! Any business related to exotic beasts is not only profitable, it is extremely profitable!

then.

Song Yu thought about it and decided to do his job properly, holding up four fingers: "Twenty-eight is too little, how about forty-six? I'll take four and you take six."

Logically speaking, an ordinary low-level ghost snake evolved and broke through to become a sixth-level ghost dragon. With such big news and such an awesome brand endorsement, according to current market rules, she should get the lion's share... But in the final analysis, it was her fault this time.

If she hadn't brought Youyou into the amusement park and frightened Youyou, there wouldn't be the embarrassing scene of five or six police cars blocking the entrance to the haunted house.

In addition, the amusement park suffered losses, and the surveillance facilities were the amusement park's own equipment. Even if she did not agree to sign a contract with the Little Star Amusement Park Haunted House, the other party could use other unofficial channels to pass on such news, which would not be worth the loss.

In addition to Youyou's way of evolution, Song Yu also felt quite guilty.

So Song Yu thought about it and decided to only ask for 40%.

"Okay! Let's sign the contract now!" He Zhiwen's eyes lit up with joy. Seeing Song Yu's four fingers extended, he practically screamed with delight. He couldn't wait to transform the haunted house into the largest attraction in the entire Little Star Amusement Park. Even if it could only help the evolution of ghost-type monsters, and those who contracted ghost-type monsters were relatively rare, it would still be enough to make Little Star Amusement Park a huge profit.

After all, their second-tier city has a population of 60 to 70 million!

Hearing that the two sides had turned from being on the verge of a fight to discussing business, Bai Yuhan silently released his hand that was holding the middle-aged man's right arm.

The captain of the police team was quite excited. He patted He Zhiwen on the shoulder and said happily, "Old He, let's not talk about anything else. I have to let my ghost dog experience it later. I don't ask my ghost dog to evolve into a ghost dragon dog. As long as my ghost dog can evolve, that's enough! You know, this kid has been stuck at the fifth level for too long."

Unlike other contractors who like to cultivate many contracted beasts, the captain of the police team has only cultivated one contracted beast from beginning to end, Ghost Dog. From high school to college, after joining the army and then joining the police force, and from a small policeman to the captain of the police team, Ghost Dog has accompanied him for decades.

After patting the old friend's head, the police captain's hand passed through the ghost dog's gas, but this time there was no loss on the police captain's burly and serious face. Instead, his eyes were shining and he was smiling.

Ghost-type monsters are a ball of gas from the moment they are born. Even if they are just born from their mother's womb and are in a gaseous state from the moment they are in an egg.

However, once a ghost beast reaches the sixth level, it can not only shrink its size like other beasts, but also solidify its body with its mind. Although it does not have body temperature like other beasts, it is still cold, like a large air conditioner. However, it can hug the contractor...

This is also the lifelong wish of many people who have contracted with ghost-type monsters.

Seeing the police captain so enthusiastic, Song Yu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Well... my Ghost Lizard is a young beast I just contracted today. It suddenly jumped 6 levels and turned from a Ghost Lizard into a Ghost Dragon... I haven't really nurtured it, so I don't know if the Ghost Dog can successfully evolve using this method."

Although he didn't want to attack the captain of the opposing police team, Song Yu felt that he still had to explain this point seriously, and at the same time, he had to carefully write this clause in the next contract - no evolution, no mutation.

"Hahahaha, of course I know that the ghost dog may not evolve after entering the haunted house, but I have to give it a try! Who knows? Maybe it will evolve?" The police captain looked at Song Yu and laughed: "Speaking of which, since I was 10 years old, except for when there was a crisis at the amusement park and the police were needed, I have never set foot in the amusement park! Even if my ghost dog can't evolve in the haunted house, it's okay for me to take it to play in the amusement park. The little guy has been with me for so many years, and he has never really played these amusement facilities."

Although the intelligence of exotic beasts is usually relatively high, and they become more mature and stable as they age.

But for the captain of the police force, the ghost dog he contracted is like his partner as well as his son.

"Let's go! Why not do it today? We'll skip work for three hours today! I'll take you to the remaining haunted houses and other parts of the amusement park!"

Seeing that Song Yu and the Little Star Amusement Park director had instantly transformed from debtors to partners, the police captain took off his service pistol, handed it to his colleague, and said with a smile, "Please tell the police station that I'll make up the three hours I missed today this week. I'm going to take my contracted beast to the haunted house! Maybe I can even share in this classmate's good luck!"

Isn't it good luck to be able to contract a beast during the day and then jump to level 6 the next moment?

The surrounding staff and police had red eyes of envy, wishing they could take his place!

I don’t know if anyone has been able to do this in the thousands of years since the strange beast appeared.

The evolution of contracted beasts is sometimes a matter of metaphysics. If it weren't for the fact that there were no more contractors for ghost-type beasts in the haunted house staff and the police team, they might have taken off their work clothes and followed the captain into the haunted house ahead!

After greeting the police captain, he walked towards the undamaged room in the haunted house in the amusement park.

He Zhiwen smiled and led Song Yu towards his office. While he was thinking about how to promote the business to maximize the benefits, he almost shed tears of envy. It was not that he, a 50-year-old man, was not reserved enough, but it was the first time he saw a contracted beast that jumped six levels in one day!

He Zhiwen: !! When I come back, I will definitely contract a ghost snake like this!! I will take it to the haunted house every day!

Song Yu didn't know that an innocent ghost snake would soon step into this haunted house like Youyou and suffer the baptism of the dark haunted house.

She just felt that life was short and as expected, things would work out in the end.

Song Yu happily took out the chocolate from his pocket and put the candy into his mouth with a smile.

The chocolate was sweet, and its rich milky aroma invaded Song Yu's taste buds. Song Yu smiled and stretched out his arms, patting Bai Yuhan's shoulders, then patting Bai Yue's shoulders, and said happily, "After we sign the contract, I'll treat you to a barbecue in the cafeteria! How about ordering lamb, beef, grilled chicken wings, and some squid?!"

Bai Yuhan: ...

Moon Worship: ...

Isn't this quite insincere?

Who doesn’t know that in the cafeteria of the genius training camp, all these ordinary ingredients are free?

Even some low-level natural treasures that can help beastmasters strengthen their bodies are supplied to the cafeteria every day.

Having barbecue for supper every day is really insincere.

Baiyue: "Okay, when we get back we'll go to the cafeteria for barbecue. I want cumin beef and grilled fish."

Bai Yuhan: "...Okay, I'll let Xiaobai take us directly to the cafeteria."

There was no ready-made contract in He Zhiwen's office, so in order to make the contract look formal and legally effective, He Zhiwen called a lawyer on the spot. After a friendly half-hour negotiation, Song Yu signed the contract with He Zhiwen under the lawyer's appraisal.

The contract will use Youyou's portrait rights, and will edit Youyou's previous evolution video in the haunted house into a passionate short video. In addition, the portrait video of Youyou now evolved into a ghost dragon will be used at the entrance of the haunted house and even at the entrance of the Little Star Amusement Park. Since Youyou, the ghost dragon, is really special and is afraid of appearing in front of other people, Song Yu needs to take some promotional pictures of Youyou.

certainly……

If Song Yu really has no photography skills, Little Star Amusement Park can hire a professional photographer to take photos.

but……

As a female artist who has been working in the entertainment industry for more than ten or twenty years, Song Yu's acting skills and photography skills are still online, so she decisively rejected He Zhiwen's request to help find a professional photographer, and decided to take pictures of Youyou herself after returning to the dormitory.

Hey, Song Yu touched his chin, wondering when Youyou's social phobia, which made her so scared that she would cry, would be resolved.

"But why is my contracted beast purification so strange?"

After eating barbecued skewers for midnight snack and taking a shower, Song Yu lay on the bed and muttered subconsciously.

It's really hard to blame her for having such an idea. It can only be said that of the four little ones that she contracted with, except for the little mouse Quanquan, which has not evolved once so far, and stays in the Beast Taming Space every day, either eating or sleeping, or exploring and having fun inside the Beast Taming Space, the other three little ones have all evolved inexplicably.

I thought that Qiuqiu's previous three-level jump was already exaggerated, but I didn't expect that the ghost snake in the new contract would be even more exaggerated than Qiuqiu!

Most importantly, even the race has changed!

Evolving from a ghost snake into a ghost dragon, this is simply unreasonable! Mutations are not this exaggerated!

"Even TV dramas don't dare to show it this way. How could a ghost snake evolve into a ghost dragon?" Song Yu turned over, with a big question mark in his little head.

Perhaps it was because the dormitory was too quiet, and Song Yu's murmuring voice seemed a little abrupt, and was almost instantly caught by the person on the other bed in the room.

The blonde girl turned over, her long golden hair falling down her neck.

Baiyue's hollow eyes looked up at the ceiling. She curled her lips and chuckled softly, "Do you know where ghost-type beasts are born?"

"...Hmm?" Song Yu raised his head and subconsciously looked towards the dark bed opposite him in the direction of the voice.

Baiyue chuckled. "Actually, millions of years ago, there were no ghost-type beasts. Back then, all beasts were simply categorized according to their attributes and habitat. Then, a powerful dark-type beast appeared. Born from the abyss, it was like a natural disaster wherever it passed... A plague swept the land, withering oases into deserts... Every beast that encountered it became a beast that knew only slaughter and bloodshed. Even herbivorous beasts became frantic and bloodthirsty, eager to devour other beasts. Eventually, blood flowed like a river, corpses littered the ground, and the desert was filled with yellow sand and desolate wasteland."

"The dark beast only then realized that its very presence was an ominous omen... but, born from the abyss, it possessed immense power... practically immortal."

Baiyue curled the corners of his lips, his expression in the darkness seeming to be lost in memories: "...So in order to end his own life, which would bring bad luck to the earth, and to save the ordinary beasts that died because of him, he used all his power to resurrect those dead beasts."

"Millions of alien beasts died under its influence. Ordinary ninth-rank light-type alien beasts can only revive one at a time, and this consumes a large amount of life energy. Each resurrection requires rest, but it resurrected millions at once... and finally died of exhaustion." Baiyue looked in the direction of Song Yu. A voice was very soft and slow in the darkness, but it reached Song Yu's ears clearly. "...But its power is different from that of light-type alien beasts. Even if it uses its power to revive those alien beasts, it can only revive their souls, but not their bodies."

"So those resurrected beasts are the current ghost-type beasts?" Song Yu put his arms under his head, turned his head to look at Baiyue and asked in a low voice.

“Yes, and no…”

Bai Yue raised an eyebrow and continued, "The human soul is contained within the body, and so are the souls of exotic beasts... So, some of those that died by madly tearing apart and swallowing other exotic beasts have merged with other exotic beasts... Because the soul is like gas, it can't condense into a physical entity without a certain level of strength. So, unlike other sub-dragons who need to consume all kinds of natural treasures, almost any ghost-type exotic beast can actually become a dragon."

"What?!!" Song Yu was shocked, and at that moment his jaw almost dropped.

What kind of ridiculous talk is that!? Because souls are like gas, can the bodies of ghost-type beasts be shaped and molded like gas?! Then is this ghost dragon still a ghost dragon?

As if seeing through Song Yu's inner roar, Bai Yue continued in the darkness, "Those ghost-like beasts that appeared in ancient times and merged with the souls of other beasts would either dig out the other souls from their bodies or merge those souls into their own souls to form a new individual... That's why I say that souls are like gas. Any ghost-like beast can transform itself into a ghost dragon."

"But it's precisely because of this characteristic that ghost dragons aren't recognized by other pure-blooded dragons. Furthermore, the power of ghost beasts isn't determined by their bloodline, but rather by their level and skill..."

Bai Yue casually rolled up the quilt and sank directly into the warm and soft bed. "So this is why each ghost beast has such huge differences after evolution."

Unlike other dragon beasts that need to pay attention to the purity of their bloodline at all times.

Since the ghost dragon is a soul body and has no flesh and blood, it makes no sense to pay attention to its bloodline.

Subconsciously, I recalled the various pictures of ghost-related beasts I had seen in books and videos over the past few months, as well as the ghost-related stories that the original owner had in his mind.
