Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1249: Chapter 513: Wind Heart Stands Tall! Abnormal Movement of the Dragon-Patterned Bamboo!

Howling winds blew, causing the clothes of the two people floating on the water’s surface to flutter loudly.

Beside him, Meng Yao looked suspiciously at Su Ping. Meng Yao himself relied on the precise micromanagement of his spiritual power to walk on the water as if it were flat ground. What was this kid relying on?

Su Ping ignored his astonishment. Let alone walking on water, with his "Underwater Breathing" Talented Ability, he could dive directly into the water and stay there for three days and three nights. He carefully observed the area. At first glance, this place didn’t seem particularly special. West Dragon Lake spanned hundreds of miles. Aside from a few islands, the conditions on the lake were no different from the endless sea.

However, the geographical location here was indeed quite good. The reason was simple: it wasn’t particularly far from the shores of West Dragon Lake—less than two thousand meters away. At the same time, it wasn’t within the developed zones, avoiding the noisy areas connecting the sandy beaches along the shoreline and the docks. Instead, it was in a relatively secluded yet not entirely desolate location. Furthermore, the shore area directly behind it wasn’t covered by jungles like the sides of the main road. Rather, it directly faced the mouth where the Lingxi River flowed into West Dragon Lake. Here, the flow of wind energy was extremely active. Although the Wind Element power wasn’t as wild as it would be over the boundless ocean, overall, it merged perfectly with the terrain of Wind Island and became even more concentrated.

It vaguely seemed like it could seamlessly connect with the terrain of Wind Island. There was also another point to consider. If Wind Island were positioned at a different angle, the Wind Vortex could completely separate the Lingxi River and West Dragon Lake. By utilizing the energy of the Wind Element, it could effectively block off any potentially powerful aquatic Ferocious Beasts lurking in West Dragon Lake, eliminating the possibility of them entering the Lingxi River.

Of course, there were pros and cons to this. First of all, West Dragon Lake was already guarded by the naval Beastmaster Legion, so it was fundamentally highly unlikely for wild aquatic Ferocious Beasts at or above the Monarch Level to appear. Therefore, this extra layer of defense could only be considered icing on the cake. Secondly, if it was completely sealed off—even though the Lingxi River flowed through several provinces and boasted a considerable number of Water Element Pet Beasts—the lack of an entry channel would inevitably reduce the number of fish taking the bait in the area directly connected to West Dragon Lake beneath the Heart of Water for a certain period of time. This would undoubtedly be more trouble than it was worth.

Ever since the Rainbow Coral Worms evolved into Rainbow Lucid Butterflies, Su Ping hadn’t harvested any Rainbow Glaze, leaving it all within the Heart of Water. Naturally, the Rainbow Glaze held an even greater attraction for aquatic Pet Beasts, meaning there was absolutely no chance of an empty hook during the self-service fishing at the Heart of Water. It could be called the greatest treasure trove for gathering wealth in the Heart of Myriad Spirits. Thinking of this, Su Ping dismissed the idea.

Meng Yao, however, didn’t pay attention to any of this. He pointed at the anchor point.

"Su Ping, this is the place.

"I used a Wind Compass and had Po Lang test the spots one by one. I even mapped out the wind direction. We’ve made modifications to both shores where West Dragon Lake and the Lingxi River connect. This is also to prepare for the Lightning Pool and the Sword Washing Pool we discussed earlier.

"At the same time, some internal renovations of the Heart of Water are about to begin. You kid, you need to hurry up and work hard!"

Su Ping was speechless. Currently, apart from Haina Baichuan, he didn’t even have a direction for Water Element Pet Beasts. And there hadn’t been any breakthrough progress with Haina Baichuan either. Even if he wanted to work hard, he had no way to do so. However, he had to admit that Meng Yao had done an exceptionally thorough job. If there was an opportunity in the future, he definitely needed to repay him. With this thought in mind, Su Ping slowly took out the World Tree Leaf.

Now that he knew the true value of this item, Su Ping was even more cautious with it. In fact, he almost regretted letting the World Tree Leaf store Wind Island. Wind Island was indeed incredibly precious. Compared to an ordinary Holy Spirit Level Resource, this pure, natural creation held even greater value. However, its value definitely couldn’t surpass that of the World Tree Leaf. If the leaf suffered any damage, it would be a massive loss.

Slowly channeling his spiritual power, the World Tree mark on Su Ping’s palm bloomed with light once again. Following that, the World Tree Leaf acted just as it had when he used it a few days ago. An emerald-green light, accompanied by the pulsing aura of spatial manipulation, rose into the air and slowly expanded. Then, the massive World Tree Leaf slowly descended once more. The power of space was extremely miraculous. Ripples of spatial energy spread around Wind Island, causing the originally palm-sized island to grow rapidly as it met the wind. Afterward, it slowly settled onto the vast, empty expanse of West Dragon Lake.

There were no surging waves as one might imagine, nor was there any Earth-shattering commotion. In fact, not even a particularly large splash appeared. The entire Wind Island, along with the coral reef plates beneath it, perfectly and completely merged with the enormous West Dragon Lake. It was as if it had always belonged there.

This couldn’t help but make Su Ping breathe a complete sigh of relief. He had been genuinely afraid before. He feared that a moment of carelessness might cause some unexpected change in the World Tree Leaf, which would in turn destroy the naturally formed Wind Eye valley on Wind Island. After all, even the slightest deviation could potentially cause issues with the Wind Eye vortex. If the perfect training ground for comprehending the Super-Rank Skill "Eye of the Hurricane" was destroyed because of this, the value of Wind Island would be drastically reduced.
