Chapter 297: 193: A Guardian Beast Worthy of Being Called Nation-stabilizing!_1
Historians have always enjoyed delving into the history of the past.
The amount of information they unearthed about the Third and Fourth Era is substantially more than that of the Fifth and Sixth Era.
This situation has sparked an insatiable curiosity among scholars.
Whenever large ruins from the Fifth and Sixth Era are found in public areas, various federations would dispatch exploration teams to conduct research.
The fact that these large ruins have been preserved to this day signifies their grandeur during the Fifth and Sixth Era.
Many scholars have discovered that the carvings and murals inside the ruins often depict the worship of human-like creatures with fish tails.
This image aligns perfectly with the mermaids described in the ancient texts.
The Dracoid Research Institute is still conducting numerous research projects related to “mermaid worship”.
The mermaid form depicted in this “mermaid worship” is completely inconsistent with the form of the current Ghost Fish Princess.
The human head and fish body of the Ghost Fish Princess looks eerie and frightening, with its entire body below the neck appearing as a fish.
While a mermaid is a beautiful creature with a human upper body and a fish tail lower body.
Fang Mu is uncertain whether the mermaid bloodline has been lost or preserved. The Dracoid Research Institute’s research on “mermaid worship” likely involves the possession of some Guardian Beasts with mermaid bloodlines.
However, Guardian Beasts with mermaid bloodlines must be rare.
Otherwise, Fang Mu would not have read so many books without ever seeing a hint of information about the mermaid bloodline.
In addition to the evolution line of the Ghost Soul Mermaid, the Ghost Fish Princess also has two other evolution lines: the Jealous Soul Fish Princess and the Rotten Corpse Bone Catfish.
The Jealous Soul Fish Princess involves deepening the Ghost Fish Princess’s ghost bloodline, without stimulating the faint mermaid bloodline within her.
Compared to immediate skill enhancement, choosing an excellent bloodline and following it through evolution is the wise person’s choice.
The evolution line of the Rotten Corpse Bone Catfish involves the humanoid Ghost Fish Princess evolving into a defensively strong meat shield.
This meat shield can protect Yan Yubanruo quite well.
Most summoning Ghost System Beasts are weak in terms of defense capability.
A Rotten Corpse Bone Catfish, which is a heavily defensive Beast capable of taking hits, is a quality choice.
However, this conflicts with Yan Yubanruo’s exclusive characteristic, the Master of Underworld.
With the exclusive characteristic: Master of Underworld, Yan Yubanruo can avoid lethal attacks by repeatedly hopping with the White Paper Man.
Having the ability to protect himself, there’s no need to employ a dedicated protector.
The best way to protect Yan Yubanruo is to eliminate the enemy before the soul flame of the undead creature possessed by the White Paper Man extinguishes.
When Fang Mu checked the skill and exclusive characteristics of the Ghost Fish Princess.
Upon seeing the Silver Grade Skill “Soul Absorbing Hook”, a peculiar expression emerged on Fang Mu’s face.
He just had been wondering how to obtain a stable channel for trading the Soul of Death, now the Ghost Fish Princess brought this channel to him.
“Soul Absorbing Hook” allows the Ghost Fish Princess to devour and absorb stray souls, refining them into the Soul of Death.
All forms of life have souls, even the Mechanical Heart of Mechanical Beasts like Su-su is a manifestation of a soul.
Like when a Dimensional Rift opens and a Beast Master kills those exotic beasts.
The souls of those exotic beasts will dissipate into the surrounding environment for a short period of time.
The Ghost Fish Princess can continually produce the Soul of Death through the Silver Grade Skill “Soul Absorbing Hook” in environments where life had recently ended.
Fang Mu plans to go out for training during his senior three years, during which he can gather more Soul of Death.
He’ll promote both Yan Yubanruo and the Ghost Fish Princess to the Silver Peak.
And cultivate the best undead species Guardian Beast configuration for Yan Yubanruo.
“Soul Absorbing Hook” makes the Ghost Fish Princess a functional type of Guardian Beast.
Fang Mu always finds it inspiring to think of a Ghost Servant dedicated to serving his master.
However, Yan Yubanruo’s attitude towards the Ghost Fish Princess can only be described as aggressive. There are no other words Fang Mu can think of to describe it.
The purple-black chains that grew from Yan Yubanruo’s body have already locked onto the Ghost Fish Princess’ neck.
With Yan Yubanruo’s foot stepping on the skull of the Ghost Fish Princess, the Ghost Fish Princess crawled on the ground in a strange posture.
They act out the drama of a loving master and servant family.
From time to time, the Ghost Fish Princess uses her not-so-pretty fish-shaped body to rub against Yan Yubanruo’s chains.
It is clear that the Ghost Fish Princess is deriving some pleasure from this relationship.
Though the Ghost Fish Princess presents a subservient nature towards Yan Yubanruo, her exclusive characteristic “The Affectionate Princess” reveals otherwise to Fang Mu.
The Ghost Fish Princess is a master at seducing the living.
The Ghost Fish Princess, upon using her exclusive characteristic “The Affectionate Princess”, charms the living.
Once a charmed individual develops a liking for the Ghost Fish Princess, she then immediately unites with them.
This unification isn’t like the one in the manga, it’s more formal.
It’s similar to the folk tale of a ghost pressing on one’s chest during sleep.
After the unification, the Ghost Fish Princess gains control of the target’s body, rendering it immobile.
If the individual’s will is crushed by the Ghost Fish Princess, she can manipulate the victim to harm themselves and those around them.
The targets merged with the Ghost Fish Princess, upon attack, not only won’t harm the Ghost Fish Princess.
Instead, the pain and suffering endured by the unified target nourishes the Dead Qi of the Ghost Fish Princess.
This ability is deemed abnormal when used in a one-on-one arena battle between Beast Masters.
As long as the opponent’s Guardian Beast Rank does not crush the Ghost Fish Princess.
