Chapter 460: Chapter 455: First Glimpse of the Sea Territory

Under Jiang Guan’s guidance, Bai Qi finally met Mo Guan, who was somewhat surprised by Bai Qi’s arrival.

“Bai Qi? Lao Qin just told me a few days ago that you were planning to come here. How did you get here so quickly?”

“I didn’t want to delay the start of school, so I hurried along the way.”

Bai Qi smiled. Although Gusu City wasn’t a seaside town, it was located in the southern part of the Federation. With Delta’s ability to traverse the Void, it took only two days to reach there at full speed.

“True, you are still a student.”

Master Mo Guan stroked his beard and suddenly sighed, “It’s really hard to imagine, someone who got their Beast Master license just half a year ago, is now a Six Stage master. I’m getting old, really old.”

“Master Mo Guan, you’re joking. I still have a lot to learn from you.”

Bai Qi replied.

Although they only had contact during the previous Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook data assessment, Bai Qi was familiar with Master Mo Guan’s reputation.

A single man holds the pass, and ten thousand cannot get through.

This acclaim was not one Mo Guan gave himself, but he had earned it through his deeds.

“With Bai Chuanqi here, there’s no need for learning. I can only teach you some combat experiences.”

Mo Guan stood up and said, “I’m going to patrol the coastline now. Do you want to come with me?”

“I’d love to.”

Bai Qi nodded. Although Jiang Guan had already told him a lot, it was only a general overview of the Southern Abyss Coast. He still needed to learn the specifics from Mo Guan.

The two walked out of the office together, but instead of leaving, Mo Guan took Bai Qi into a large hall.

The hall was spacious, with nothing in it except for a large mechanical door in the middle.

But it made Bai Qi notice something different about the mechanical door.

“The Starry Sky Gate?”

Bai Qi turned to Mo Guan.

“Yes, there are often emergencies on the Southern Abyss Coast. To ensure timely support, the Federation specifically placed a Starry Sky Gate here.”

Mo Guan nodded, and after verifying his identity, the Starry Sky Gate suddenly opened.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you the scenery of the sea area.”

Bai Qi nodded and followed Mo Guan through the Starry Sky Gate.

After passing through the Starry Sky Gate, Bai Qi immediately smelled a salty tang that was unique to the seashore. Looking around, he discovered he was on top of the tall wall he had seen before.

“This is the front line of the Southern Abyss Coast, the Boundary Wall.”

Mo Guan patted the wall next to him and said, “Without this wall blocking them, this place would have already been occupied by amphibious sea beasts.”

“Are the sea beasts so aggressive?”

Bai Qi frowned slightly. He had always heard that the Ferocious Beast Tribe often provoked the Federation, but he didn’t expect the sea area to be the same.

“Although we haven’t specifically detected it, even the currently known sea area is three to four times the size of the land area, more than ten times the size of the Federation. How many transcendent creatures do you think can hide in there?”

Mo Guan laughed, “The competition in the sea area is fierce, so some amphibious creatures come onshore to find food. Although their levels are not very high, they still pose a threat to ordinary people.”

“So, this wall was built?”

“Of course not.”

Master Mo Guan put on a serious face and said, “The sea area is indeed too large. Nobody knows when the sea beasts inside will come ashore. We need to be prepared beforehand, otherwise, if there is really an emergency situation, there will be no time to deal with it.”

So, it was a precautionary measure.

However, with so few people, if one or two legendary sea beasts came, it seemed that they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Just then, a huge shrimp, clad in a solid shell and waving two menacing large pincers, emerged from the sea and rushed towards the Boundary Wall.

This aura, is it a legendary creature?

What the hell? Just got to the sea area and encounter a legendary sea beast attacking the city. Doesn’t my luck seem to be too good?!

And, Master Mo Guan, aren’t you guys being a bit too calm?

“Don’t worry, this is the Legendary of Stable Sea, not an invasion of sea beasts.”

Mo Guan chuckled, and Bai Qi also noticed a human standing on top of the giant shrimp’s head.

“So, is that the Water Elemental Titled Legend, ‘Stable Sea’ Xiao Mu?”

Bai Qi asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, Xiao Chuanqi is active in the sea area all year round and hardly ever returns to the Federation’s interior. He stays here to suppress rebellious sea beasts. Otherwise, with just us few, we wouldn’t be able to suppress this vast sea area.”

Mo Guan laughed, and Xiao Mu had already arrived at the Boundary Wall. A strong aura came over and the progress of the Evolution Egg, which hadn’t moved for a long time, began to change quickly.

As expected, the Titled Legendary’s beasts, although they were also legendary, were quite different from ordinary ones.

“Master Mo, what kind of creature is Xiao Chuanqi’s pet beast? It doesn’t seem to be recorded in the Illustrated Handbook?”

Bai Qi asked Mo Guan with some curiosity.

“The Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook doesn’t record information on legendary creatures; it’s normal that you don’t know.”

Mo Guan said, “This is Xiao Chuanqi’s unique beast, the Sea Covering Lobster. It’s a Dragon-blooded creature. When it comes to combat power in the sea area, it has few rivals in the Federation.”

“Sea Covering… Lobster?”

Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly. The name Sea Covering was quite domineering, Dragon-blooded ones were also good, Lobster seemed to be no problem.

But this Lobster…

Well, suddenly feeling a bit hungry.

“Master Mo, I’ve surveyed the nearby sea area, there are no large sea beasts approaching for now, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Xiao Mu leaped down from the giant sea shrimp and landed on the Boundary Wall, speaking to Mo Guan.

“Xiao Chuanqi is too kind. It was my duty anyway.”

Mo Guan nodded and introduced the person next to him, “This is Bai Qi, who came to the Southern Abyss Sea Area for training.”

“A disciple of Celestial Brilliance, the youngest Six Stage Beast Master, the father of Spirit Controllers, and a genius inventor of the Federation? I know this young lad with so many titles.”

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Mu’s face. He said, “It’s a pity. Such an excellent individual was snatched away by that guy, Celestial Brilliance. It seems that I really should move around a bit.”

“Xiao Chuanqi is too kind. Bai Qi still needs guidance from our seniors.”

Bai Qi slightly bowed, showing full respect to Xiao Mu.

Someone who was willing to suppress sea beasts here year-round, Xiao Mu was worth respecting even if he wasn’t a Titled Legendary.

“Hmm, I’m going to rest for a while. We can talk more when I find time.”

Xiao Mu was visibly tired, and after exchanging a few words with Mo Guan, he tamed the giant sea shrimp and left quickly.

“Being a Titled Legendary is truly not easy.”

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be reminded of his teacher, Bai Heguang. Although they had only known each other for half a year, Bai Qi had never seen Bai Heguang rest much.

Perhaps it was because of this that their generation was able to grow up safely.

“They’re all like this. You’ll get used to it eventually.”

Mo Guan smiled lightly. “Let’s go. I’ll show you around the sea area.”

“Alright.”

The two descended from the Boundary Wall, and Mo Guan summoned his pet beast. Instead of a Golden Armor Giant Spirit, it was an iron-armored giant snail.

[Name]: Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail

[Nature]: Steel, Water

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King

[Introduction]: Its years-long habitation under the sea endows the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail with robust defense. Its seemingly fragile shell could withstand most attacks.

…

This was a creature Bai Qi had never seen before. The Evolution Egg was also curious and prompted Bai Qi to get close to it.

“Hmm? Is this a mechanical armament?”

Circumnavigating the large body, Bai Qi saw some mechanical parts hanging on both sides of the snail shell of the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail.

“Yes, this is the military version of Stable Sea Armament, which is specially provided for soldiers and beast masters in the Southern Abyss Sea Area.”

“Stable Sea? Is it named after the title of Legendary of Stable Sea?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and the image of Jiang Guan’s set of armament came to his mind.

Restraining Heaven and Stabilizing Sea, the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

Mo Guan activated the Stable Sea Armament, and a hefty layer of mechanical armor soon coated the shell of the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail.

“Climb aboard.”

Mo Guan climbed onto a seat inside the armor first, gestured for Bai Qi to follow, and the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail then took the two into the sea.

In terms of speed, the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail was extremely slow on land, but it was very fast underwater. It quickly left the beach and sank into the sea.

“The size of the sea beasts is indeed much larger than that of the ferocious beasts on land.”

Looking at the outside through the porthole, Bai Qi couldn’t help but exclaim as he noticed the fish as long as a person.

“These can’t be considered large. Wait until we reach the deep-sea area, and you’ll understand.”

Mo Guan said: “The sea area is rich in resources and hardly has any enemies. So, the sea beasts are generally larger than those in the interior, and the deeper the ocean, the more exaggerated the size.”

Saying this, a relieved expression crossed Mo Guan’s face.

“Luckily, most sea beasts don’t possess the ability or the desire to go ashore, or else the threat they pose to human beings would far exceed that of the ferocious beasts.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. Indeed, not to mention the combat power of the sea beasts, their mere size and quantity were concerning enough.

The Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail continued to move forward, and the light around it gradually dimmed. Inside the Stable Sea Armament, various detection instruments were switched on to monitor everything around.

“We’re here.”

Mo Guan halted the Steel-Angle Iron-Belly Snail and pointed to the neatly arranged metal monuments not far away. “Until here, it’s the safe area of Southern Abyss Coast. These Boundary Monuments emit a special frequency to keep giant sea beasts away, while also providing real-time reports of nearby situations.”

“And what about the place further ahead?”

Bai Qi understood and then became curious about the world outside the Boundary Monuments.

“Beyond that, it is a dangerous area where anyone except the Legendries cannot ensure safety.”

Mo Guan’s expression turned serious. “During your training, remember not to leave the area marked by the Boundary Monuments. If you accidentally wander into it and encounter a giant sea beast, flee immediately. Don’t ever think about fighting in the sea!”

In combat underwater, the sea beasts have an absolute advantage. You must never harbor an illusion of luck, get it?”

“Previously, many people lusted after the abundant resources beyond the Boundary Monuments and recklessly ventured out. However, only a few have managed to return.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi’s ears perked up.

“Are the resources outside the Boundary Monuments abundant?”

Mo Guan nodded and said, “Any sea beast that can survive in that area is a mobile resource.”

As he spoke, Mo Guan suddenly realized something. “Old Qin repeatedly warned me that your visit this time is primarily to gain experience. You must not venture past the Boundary Monuments. Understand?”

“Yes, yes, I definitely won’t go.”

Bai Qi nodded vigorously, his face full of obedience.
