"Commander Liu will be your guide."
The warship was parked about half a mile away from the Star Screen. They could not get closer because time and space would be distorted. People would age rapidly if they stayed there.
"Listen to Commander Liu's orders. Also, don't ever take off your safety vests. It's literally your lifeline!" said an old captain.
"I wish you all a smooth sailing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the sea suddenly rippled. A giant turtle that was more than thirty feet long slowly emerged from the sea.
Its head looks like a dragon's from ancient myths and its claws had fine dark blue scales. Additionally, its shell was covered with mysterious and magnificent patterns.
The Azure Wave Dragon Turtle really looked mystical and powerful!
"Come on up! I'll take you there!"
A bald, muscular man over six foot five was standing on the back of the Azure Wave Dragon Turtle. He shouted at the crowd and his voice was as loud as thunder.
"Zhao Qingchuan, deputy commander of the Dragon Palace's first Beastmaster Corps, master-level Beastmaster."
Zhang Weiyan explained. He recognized the muscular man in front of him.
"The extraordinary giant turtle in front of us should be an overlord-level beast."
"Overlord-level..."
Jiang He was shocked.
Minus the giant whale, this was the biggest and strongest beast he had seen ever since he transmigrated.
Even though it was standing still, it still gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
"It looks so cool. Wait, this giant turtle has been lurking under the sea, right? Does that mean Commander Zhao had been doing the same thing?"
Jiang He asked doubtfully.
"Ahem… Jiang He, you've posed an interesting question."
Zhang Weiyan tried to hold back his laughter.
It seemed like Commander Zhao was trying to show off to them.
Anyway, they got onto the back of the giant turtle. Streams of water sprayed out from the turtle's shell, forming chairs.
There were even seatbelts!
"Sit tight!"
Following Zhao Qingchuan's order, the Azure Wave Dragon Turtle started moving.
It sped through the surface of the sea and a trail of white-line was left behind!
So, this was the power of an overlord-level beast?
In less than a minute, they arrived in front of the Star Screen.
After crossing the Star Screen, almost everyone on board disappeared. Only Commander Zhao and the Azure Wave Dragon Turtle were left.
…
When he was crossing the Star Screen, Jiang He's vision turned green.
All of a sudden, he was in a forest.
"Meow!"
The Moonlight Elf looked up.
Every tree here was unimaginably big. Some of the leaves were even bigger than the little fellow.
At the same time, Jiang He felt like an ant.
There was almost no sunlight in this New World. Through the overlapping layers of leaves, one could only vaguely see the blood-red sky. The atmosphere was quite depressing.
"It's a little... Strange."
The champion of the Youth Tournament, Liu Haoran, frowned. His subdued beast, the Spirit Of The Royal Book, began flipping its pages.
This was done to gather the surrounding energy.
Anyway, the contestants had a general understanding of their current situation.
After all, they were briefed earlier.
This place mainly consisted of primitive forests. As for the beasts, they were mostly wood or insect-type.
In other words, there should be an abundance of wood-type spiritual energy.
However, the Spirit Of The Royal Book imperial book absorbed mostly water-type energy as it far exceeded the other energies!
This was only possible if one was near the ocean or river.
Nothing made sense!
While Liu Haoran was thinking, the rest of the people spread out and began forming smaller groups.
In the end, only Liu Haoran and Jiang He were left alone.
The contestants had been communicating with each other privately before entering the New World. Without a doubt, this place was dangerous. Going off alone would be very risky.
Jiang He's strength was too low and only Zhang Weiyan would accept him into the team.
As for Liu Haoran, he was too much of a loner.
The others tried to include him but they failed.
"Would you like to team up with us? We happen to lack a strong attacker."
One person from a three-man team asked Liu Haoran.
"No. I'm used to being alone."
Liu Haoran shook his head and refused.
"Jiang He, where's your team?"
Zhang Weiyan was a little puzzled.
Earlier, Jiang He told him that he had a team. Zhang Weiyan could not help but wonder who he had joined.
'Why is he standing here by himself?
'Could his teammate be Liu Haoran?'
"They haven't arrived yet."
Jiang He smiled awkwardly.
He could not possibly say that he was forming a team with the main investigation team, right?
"Students, follow me!"
At this moment, a loud voice could be heard from not too far away.
A dark-skinned man with thick eyebrows and bright eyes had come to welcome them.
He was the captain of the main investigation team, Liu Gensheng.
Commander Liu had been leading his team to explore this New World for nearly a month.
This time, he was responsible for the top sixteen contestants.
"Roar!"
As Liu Gensheng walked over, the ground shook. Behind him was a Rock Monster that was almost fifteen feet tall. It was a ground-type beast.
The Rock Monster's appearance looked rather silly because it was basically several silver-gray boulders stuck together.
Its final evolution was a Rock Giant. Although it had outstanding defensive and destructive abilities, its IQ was very low. Thus, it could only understand simple commands.
Everyone followed Liu Gensheng to the temporary base where the main investigation team was stationed.
The trees in this area had been cleared away and tents were set up on the ground.
As for the soldiers of the main investigation team, they were either on guard or training.
They looked rather young. It probably had not been long since they joined the army.
Moreover, every soldier had a subdued beast by their side.
Most of them were large dog-type beasts such as the Star Mastiff and Gale Hound.
There were also healing-type beasts like the Little Spring Spirit and Green Willow Demon.
The majority of them were level one or two warlord-level beasts. Very few were level nine servants.
Jiang He also saw the figure of Wind Chasing. His Senior Sister was lying on its body. Her hands supported her chin and she looked like she was in a daze.
After seeing the Moonlight Elf, White Pigeon's eyes immediately lit up.
"Meow!"
The Moonlight Elf did not hide this time because she could not reach it.
After settling down, Liu Gensheng said calmly, "Students, we need to carry out an urgent mission now. Miss White Pigeon will be traveling with us. You'll all have to stay here for a while. Once we're done, you can freely team up or go solo. The unmarked places required exploration. For now, just try to adapt to this New World's environment or learn the situation from your seniors."
The contestants nodded in understanding.
No one tried to show off and do something unexpected.
They only had one life. If powerful beasts were to attack, White Pigeon would not be able to save them since she was occupied.
After that, Liu Gensheng walked up to Jiang He, saluted, and said, "Jiang He, let's go!"
When the other contestants saw this scenario, they were dumbfounded.
They were all new. Why was Jiang He chosen to be part of the main investigation team?
Zhang Weiyan could not help but think to himself, 'So this is your team?!'
Before entering the New World, Jiang He had studied the layout.
The investigation team had covered about two thousand acres.
Their temporary base was not too far away from the Star Screen.
To the east of the temporary base, there was a village where indigenous people lived.
They were extremely hostile to outsiders and had high-level combat strength. Hence, the investigation team did not make contact with them for the time being.
Meanwhile, in the west, there was a howling Moon Silver Wolf. It was a level five warlord and tended to be very protective of its territory. If the investigation team wanted to continue exploring the west, they would need to take a huge detour.
This time, their destination was a lake. It was not too far.
If they were fast, they could reach it within an hour.
"Here, take this shield first."
A faint blue light appeared on Commander Liu Gensheng's hand.
Then, a layer of light blue shield materialized on Jiang He's body.
Talent: Shield.
Description: This shield could withstand a certain amount of damage.
The color of the shield was very faint. This was to prevent disrupting the user's vision. Otherwise, they might have trouble pressing the emergency button on their safety vest.
After Liu Gensheng deployed a shield on everyone and every subdued beast, he said in a calm voice, "Alright, let's go!"
Jiang He felt safe.
These people were really professionals!
The group began heading to their destination.
There were many trees, so the light was limited.
They advanced slowly and carefully. Fatal dangers could occur anytime.
Everyone was really focused.
"Rustle…"
The sound of leaves rubbing against each other could be heard from the left side.
Suddenly, a brightly colored butterfly with unusually gorgeous wings flew out from the bushes.
It was a Green-tailed Netherdream Butterfly, an insect-type beast.
This butterfly evolved from a Green-tailed Worm. It should be around warlord-level, but it was the size of a kitten.
Still, it could be considered a giant among butterflies.
For some reason, the creatures in this New World were much larger than the others.
"Rustle…"
As the Green-tailed Netherdream Butterfly flapped its wings, gusts of air were created. It seemed to be just passing by and was unbothered by the investigation team members.
"Commander Liu, aren't we going to catch it?"
Jiang He asked curiously in a low voice.
"We already have a sample of the Green-tailed Netherdream Butterfly. Besides, our mission is to escort you to the lake. There's no need to get sidetracked."
Liu Gensheng waved his hand at the Green-tailed Netherdream Butterfly that had flown far away.
"Let's move on."
So far, the journey was smooth. The investigation team had encountered a few servant-level beasts, but they fled after sensing the spiritual pressure of the warlord-level beasts.
Three hours later, a bright blue lake appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
They had finally arrived!
The water in the lake was extremely clear. They could even see their own reflection like a mirror.
"Junior Brother, be at ease! We will protect you!"
White Pigeon instructed Jiang He to sit on White Chasing.
This way, they could escape faster if needed.
The other members of the investigation team surrounded Jiang He and looked around vigilantly.
"Thank you."
After thanking them, Jiang He closed his eyes and activated telepathy.
"Boom!"
It was like his brain erupted. Then, Jiang He's vision became infinitely vast.
Obviously, he was viewing things from the giant whale's perspective!
The little girl called "Lan" who could communicate with the giant whale had grown into a graceful woman.
She was standing on the giant whale's incomparably vast back. Her expression was solemn.
"Guardian God, are you willing to become my subdued beast?"
They were about to form a contract!
Jiang He was a little surprised.
He never expected to witness this scene!
This legendary creature that was almost like a God could also be contracted?!
"Fwoosh…"
The wind on this "island" was gentle and harmonious.
Jiang He could feel the emotions of the giant whale. It appeared to be very happy. In the past, it was almost always lonely.
As the contract progressed, countless beams of light flickered around Lan's body. After that, a dark blue magic circle formed beneath her feet.
The beams of light spanned thousands of miles.
If a person looked from above, they would be able to see complicated and ancient lines appearing on the entire island.
An exceptionally huge summoning array was formed!
The moment the contract was completed, Lan's hair instantly turned lake-blue. At the same time, dark blue water patterns appeared on her arms and back.
Her control over water had reached a terrifying level.
With just a thought, she could summon a tsunami or storm.
She could also easily dispel them.
This talent was a gift from the giant whale.
Jiang He endured the dizziness and continued watching.
There seemed to be a difference between their contract and his contract.
Lan did not summon the book of contracts. Instead, their connection depended on the patterns on her arms and back.
Jiang He's vision went black. He had reached his limit.
"Junior Brother, drink up!"
As soon as Jiang He opened his eyes, he could see a fair hand.
White Pigeon was handing him a bottle of "Spring Of Elves". This time, she did not feel any distress because the organization was sponsoring!
She had even prepared more than one bottle!
"Thank you."
Jiang He gulped down a mouthful of "Spring Of Elves", easing his fatigue a little.
He could vaguely guess some circumstances.
Since he could use telepathy, it meant this lake was also a part of the giant whale's body.
There was a high possibility that it was the giant whale's soul crystals. Or was it... Blood?
Jiang He continued to use telepathy. Most of the scenes were about Lan and the giant whale's daily lives.
One time, a sea beast caused a surging tide to charge at a human city. Lan used her power to control the waves and drove the sea beast away. She successfully protected the humans.
Due to that, the people in that city regarded Lan as their queen.
Meanwhile, the giant whale just watched from afar. It could see a crown on Lan's head.
However, Lan did not stay for long. The next day, she quietly rode on the giant whale and they set off to wander the seas.
They had also encountered a beast that was almost the same size as the giant whale. It had countless tentacles and eyeballs. In a way, it looked like an octopus.
However, the beast seemed to be in a state of eternal sleep. It did not pay attention to them.
The two of them drifted in the sea for a long time.
One day, the sky some distance away turned dark red.
The sea was also covered in a layer of red blood mist. It spread rapidly and soon, the sea turned equally red.
Fish beasts fled frantically, trying to escape the "sea of blood".
Those that failed to get away quickly lost their minds.
It was... The abyss!
Jiang He was extremely shocked. He wanted to continue watching, but his vision turned black.
The channeling ended.
