Chapter 441: A Fortunate Turn of Events
Chapter 441: A Fortunate Turn of Events
As the Golden Radiant Great Elephant expelled the water from its stomach, refilling the small pit, Li Qian's eyes twitched slightly.
"Is the water still clean after all this?" he wondered.
"If we have to dive into this Dimensional Rift again, wouldn't it be..." Li Qian shuddered at the thought.
"It's a bit disgusting, isn't it?" Duan Kong guessed Li Qian's thoughts and smiled.
"No," Li Qian quickly denied.
The Great Elephant was right beside him, and even if he did find it a little disgusting, he wouldn't dare admit it, let alone say it out loud.
Duan Kong's smile remained, "My Golden Radiant Great Elephant possesses the attributes of gold, water, and earth, and within its water attribute, it has mastered purification skills."
"It sucked in the water from the pool and then expelled it, essentially performing a complete purification process."
"Not only is the pool water free from any pollution, but it's as if the water has been thoroughly purified from start to finish."
Li Qian was slightly taken aback by this information.
"A Companion Beast that masters purification skills is quite rare, with the highest probability being in the Light Type, followed by the Water Type, and then the Life Type."
However, according to Li Qian's knowledge, the probability wasn't high.
He was surprised that Duan Kong's Golden Radiant Great Elephant had mastered such skills.
But considering its strength, which was at least High Rank Holy Spirit, it seemed not so unusual.
After arriving at the fourth layer of the Dimensional Plane, Duan Kong summoned another Companion Beast.
This was the first time Li Qian had seen Duan Kong's third Companion Beast.
A flying-type Companion Beast, the Necrotic Bone Dragon.
"Roar, roar, roar..." The Necrotic Bone Dragon let out a series of roars as soon as it appeared, full of excitement.
But in the next moment, it received a kick from the Golden Radiant Great Elephant.
After being kicked, the Necrotic Bone Dragon immediately calmed down.
This Necrotic Bone Dragon had a formidable aura, but it didn't seem to be a match for the Golden Radiant Great Elephant, as it was quickly subdued.
Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the Necrotic Bone Dragon being kicked, its head hanging low in submission.
This Necrotic Bone Dragon didn't seem very smart.
"Let's go." Duan Kong led Li Qian, and they leaped onto the back of the Necrotic Bone Dragon.
Fortunately, the Necrotic Bone Dragon was large enough that they could both stand or sit on it without feeling cramped.
The two of them, along with the Golden Radiant Great Elephant, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary wolfhound, leaped onto the back of the Necrotic Bone Dragon.
Immediately, the Necrotic Bone Dragon flapped its wings and took off, and in the blink of an eye, they were already a thousand meters high in the sky.
At this moment, Li Qian finally understood why Duan Kong had him ride this Necrotic Bone Dragon.
Putting aside other factors, its speed was indeed incredibly fast.
If they had ridden the Golden Radiant Great Elephant or the Hellryu Wolf, despite their higher strength levels, their speed might not have been this impressive since they weren't flying-type Companion Beasts.
The Necrotic Bone Dragon flew at an altitude of about a thousand meters.
It dived towards the east, and from its momentum, the journey seemed far from short.
Li Qian, high in the sky, was protected by the energy shield emanating from the Necrotic Bone Dragon, feeling no discomfort at all.
"It'll take at least half a day to fly from here to the Floating Ridge Outpost," Duan Kong casually remarked.
"The Floating Ridge Outpost?" Li Qian asked curiously.
"The Floating Ridge Outpost is one of the only three outposts in this Dimensional Plane."
Duan Kong explained, "As is commonly known, the deeper the Dimensional Plane, the more difficult it is to establish a city, even if it's just a small one."
"This place is a fourth-layer dimensional plane, not suitable for building a city. It's not that it can't be built, but the maintenance cost is too high, it's not worth it."
"However, to provide supplies and temporary shelter for adventurers, a resting point is necessary, and that's why the Floating Ridge Outpost was established."
"The dimensional rift leading to the third-layer dimensional plane, Shuihua City, is also located within the outpost."
Li Qian listened to Master Duan Kong's introduction, gaining a preliminary understanding of the dimensional plane corresponding to Jiangnan Beastmaster University.
Indeed, as the second-best Beastmaster University after the Kyoto and Zhonghai Beastmaster Universities, their development of dimensional planes far surpasses that of Sha Zhou Beast University.
This also reflects the gap in the foundations of the two schools.
After all, building a city is easy, but defending it is not.
Without a powerful individual to suppress, even if a city is built, it will be as unstable as a floating duckweed.
Master Duan Kong seemed to have opened a can of worms, and he continued, "However, after discovering this dimensional rift, the situation changed."
"I estimate that the higher-ups of our two schools will consider building a city here, or at least an additional outpost."
Li Qian nodded slightly at Master Duan Kong's words.
With the discovery of the dimensional rift connecting the two schools, the strategic importance of this place would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
At the very least, a new outpost will definitely be built at the Small Water Village location.
After chatting for a while, Master Duan Kong suddenly changed the topic and started asking about the two girls, "Oh, by the way, Li, those two girls seemed interested in you. What do you think?"
Li Qian was taken aback by the question.
Just now, they were discussing the outpost, and now the conversation has shifted to Bai Bingbing and Irina.
He scratched his head awkwardly, "Master Duan, you're joking."
"Bai Bingbing is a classmate, and Irina is my senior."
Master Duan Kong listened to Li Qian's explanation and nodded seriously, "So, which one will you choose?"
Li Qian: "..."
It seemed like his explanation went unheard.
"Master Duan, I..." Li Qian couldn't help but laugh, about to continue his explanation, but was interrupted by Master Duan Kong!
"Actually, in my opinion, both girls are great, and you can marry them both."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Qian coughed vigorously after hearing this.
Such audacious words!
Marrying both of them...
Li Qian had the thought, but feared he wouldn't live long enough to enjoy such a blessing.
"I'm not teasing you."
Master Duan Kong noticed Li Qian's reaction and chuckled, "It's not impossible. As long as your strength reaches the Holy Spirit Rank or you become a Cultivation Master, the Federation will actively promote it!"
"What?" Li Qian heard another unbelievable piece of information, almost thinking he misheard.
"Monogamy is just a legal system for ordinary people."
Master Duan Kong raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Once you reach a certain level, like the Holy Spirit Rank, or become a Cultivation Master, or a Great Archaeologist, there won't be any restrictions in this aspect."
"The Federation eagerly anticipates more offspring from these high-end talents."
"After all, the probability of geniuses among their descendants is much higher than that of ordinary people."
Hearing Master Duan Kong's words, Li Qian subconsciously replied, "There's such a good thing?!"
Realizing what he said, he quickly retracted, "Is there such an outrageous thing?"
Master Duan Kong, seeing Li Qian's subconscious revelation of his true thoughts, chuckled and didn't expose him.
