Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1509 - 424: The Storm Has Arrived (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 27)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
This time, failure was not an option!
"Jie...(。ϟ。)" (Phone...)
While Qiuqiu was concentrated on weaving a prophecy, Guigui couldn't help but gesture toward the communication device resting on the nightstand.
Only then did Lin Su snap back to reality, noticing that the device’s ringtone had been chiming persistently ever since he woke up.
In fact, it was likely this very sound that had roused his Blue Star body in the first place.
Though he wasn't currently in the mood to handle matters on Blue Star, Lin Su still reached out and glanced at the screen.
The name "Qin Yunzhang" flashing on the caller ID caused Lin Su’s expression to shift slightly. He decided to take the call, saying, "Hello? Grandpa Qin."
"Lin Su, I’ve been told you accepted the invitation from the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area. Will you be heading over today?" Qin Yunzhang inquired, his voice sounding quite cheerful.
"Yes," Lin Su replied with a nod.
Qin Yunzhang’s reminder brought the commitment back to his mind.
However, considering the gravity of his current situation, the journey to the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area probably needed to be delayed by a few days.
He was just about to ask Qin Yunzhang to pass this message along to Wei Miao when the old man spoke up again from the other end of the line.
"Let me tell you," he whispered with a touch of mystery, "this trip to the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area could be a massive opportunity for you."
"What sort of opportunity?" Lin Su asked, playing along while trying to keep his impatience in check.
"You are aware that the Water Spirit Essence race typically only allows for one individual at a time, right? If a second one begins to form, it usually merges into the first during the embryonic stage, serving as a source of power."
"But this time, a total anomaly occurred."
"A month ago, a second Water Spirit Essence manifested within the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area. Instead of being absorbed by Wei Miao during development, it finished its gestation independently."
"Despite this, it hasn't been able to wake up; it remains trapped in a deep slumber."
"After over a month of investigation and various trials, we’ve come up with a theory: we want to utilize a Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space to help nurture the Water Spirit Essence and trigger its awakening."
"This plan requires a compatible Beast Tamer. Just yesterday, Nannan showed me the footage of your team’s tournament. After seeing it, Wei Miao personally requested to entrust this kin to you."
"Should the experiment prove successful, that Water Spirit Essence will become your pet beast."
"Well? Isn't that a monumental chance?"
"It is a most precious Water Spirit Essence!"
Qin Yunzhang’s enthusiastic words filled the dorm room through the device's speaker.
As Lin Su listened, his expression—and those of his companions—began to transform.
A second Water Spirit Essence?
Appearing one month ago?
That coincided exactly with the moment Lin Su had exited the One Life Reincarnation Hall.
This remarkable timing forced him and the others into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Qiuqiu, who had been entirely absorbed in her prophecy, finally witnessed the prophetic vision without hearing Qin Yunzhang’s voice over the phone.
She saw a boundless ocean with a solitary island sitting in the middle.
Lin Su and the five little ones were standing upon that island.
The scene was nearly identical to Qiuqiu’s previous vision.
The only variation was that in this image, the group was huddled together, and Lin Su held a glowing, water-blue cluster in his arms.
Because Qiuqiu had ignored the cost to produce this prophecy, the images were exceptionally vivid.
Within that orb of light, a tiny figure lay curled up.
It had a translucent, water-blue body, and its chubby little hands were gripped tightly around something long.
That is...
That is!!!
As the vision faded, Qiuqiu’s eyes snapped open and she cried out in shock.
"Mi! (。òωó。)" (I saw Lanlan!)
After her outburst, she noticed the strange tension in the room. Seeing the peculiar looks on the faces of Lin Su and the other four, she blinked in confusion.
What was happening?
Between Qin Yunzhang’s explanation and Qiuqiu’s sudden exclamation, Lin Su and the four little ones felt waves of shock crashing through their hearts.
"Grandpa Qin, I have to go, let’s talk later." Lin Su ended the call politely and immediately turned his attention to Qiuqiu. "Did Lanlan appear in your prophecy?"
The other four quickly crowded around, their eyes sparkling with intense interest.
"Mi... (。òωó。)" (I saw...)
Qiuqiu didn't dare be careless when it came to Lanlan. She quickly described every detail of the images she had just seen.
Since the visions were so similar to her previous one, she also recounted the true images from the first prophecy for comparison.
A moment later, after hearing Qiuqiu’s explanation, Lin Su’s face turned thoughtful.
In that instant, it was as if a puzzle piece had clicked into place.
Qiuqiu’s earlier prophecy hadn't been a mistake.
If everything went as planned, he and the five little ones would have been cast onto an island in the Endless Sea by spatial turbulence at that specific time.
That was why Qiuqiu had first seen them on an island.
This was the outcome of being protected by Cai Zun.
Simply arriving on the island didn't mean they had escaped all danger; it could have been the result of a mishap.
If the crisis had been handled perfectly, Cai Zun should have been visible on the island as well.
Qiuqiu hadn't accounted for that detail before.
Now, this new vision confirmed the previous one.
They were supposed to be on that island right now.
And it appeared there was no immediate threat to their lives.
This realization allowed the anxious Lin Su to breathe a small sigh of relief for the moment.
However, he was far more fixated on another point.
The second Water Spirit Essence Qin Yunzhang mentioned, combined with the new figure in Qiuqiu’s latest vision.
The connection between the two was undeniable.
This could be the path for Lanlan to return to the world.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Su looked toward his five companions.
"I’ve decided. We aren't going back yet."
"We are heading to the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area immediately."
"I need to see that dormant Water Spirit Essence Grandpa Qin talked about with my own eyes."
"It definitely has a link to Lanlan!"
The five little ones nodded their heads in perfect synchronization.
Suddenly, the troubles regarding Shenwu felt secondary.
Lin Su packed his things with lightning speed and rushed out of the research center, his five companions trailing behind him.
On their way out, they crossed paths with Qin Nan, who was carrying a cup of coffee.
"Eh? Where are you all off to in such a rush?" she asked, startled by Lin Su’s haste.
"To the Wei Miao Exotic Beast Area," Lin Su replied without stopping, though he paused for a split second to add, "Sister Nan, I’ve reached the eighth rank."
"What?" Qin Nan’s hand gave a violent jerk, sending coffee splashing onto her sleeve, though she didn't even notice the stain.
Her eyes went wide as she stared at Lin Su’s retreating back and the five little ones following him.
That overwhelming aura was undeniably far beyond the lord level.
An Emperor-level pet beast!
An eighth-rank Beast Taming Space!
An Epic-level Beast Tamer!
After a moment of stunned silence, a loud "Whoa!" echoed through the research center.
It felt as if the entire building shook from the sound.
