Tang Ling was shocked when he heard that.
If it were not for the Blood Scissors Trio's evil deeds, he really did not want to kill them!
Why?
This was because the Blood Scissors Three Brothers were simply a treasure hunting trio. It felt like they would be able to stumble upon any good things or secret places. If he kept them alive, would it be a problem in the future?
However, the thought only flashed in Tang Ling's mind for a second. No matter how chaotic the era was, Tang Ling had his own bottom line: the wicked must be punished.
If the Blood Pool Island incident was not accompanied by the Starlight Nether Fish, Tang Ling would not be interested.
At most, he would be curious about what was at the bottom of the Blood Pool Island. Why was the water red? He would never investigate it.
After all, in the Purple Moon era, there were too many strange things and places. If he wanted to investigate every single thing, even a hundred lives would not be enough.
However, since it was related to the Starlight Nether Fish, Tang Ling's interest was piqued. Even an idiot would know how important the news was to him.
Compared to Mantle, Babnu's intelligence was obviously lower, so it did not take Tang Ling much effort to convince him.
Since the two brothers were conquered by Tang Ling, no matter how important the secret was, it was no longer a secret to them. Therefore, they scrambled to tell Tang Ling the secret of the Blood Pool Island's movement pattern.
"How could they discover such a pattern? These three brothers are really … "Tang Ling was speechless after he heard about the pattern. The Blood Pool Island's movement pattern was based on the weather. The time of sunrise and sunset affected the island the most.
Tang Ling did not think that the Blood Scissors Trio were that smart, but their luck was out of this world.
After he silently memorized the movement pattern of the Blood Pool Island, Tang Ling started to ask about the Starlight Nether Fish that he was most concerned about.
He was too unfamiliar with everything about the sea.
From a certain aspect, the Starlight Nether Fish was not a secret. It was just a common knowledge that not many people knew about it.
Since Tang Ling asked, the two brothers had no reason to keep it a secret, so they told Tang Ling everything they knew.
The Starlight Nether Fish that advanced to Purple Moon Warrior was actually a special type of ferocious sea beast.
This special ferocious sea beast was actually a famous ferocious sea beast that lived in the deep sea — the Sun-Moonlight Starlight Jiao.
Jiao? Isn't this a creature from the legends of the Eastern civilization?
In fact, even scientists did not have a concrete conclusion on whether this famous Level Nine Direbeast was a Jiao or not.
Some scientists believed that it was a mutated form of a fish from the old civilization called the Ribbonfish, but it was not widely accepted.
In short, what exactly was the Sun-Moon Starlight Flood Dragon? That was a matter for scientists, but for adventurers, it was best not to encounter a Level Nine Direbeast for the rest of their lives.
In terms of strength, a Level 9 vicious beast was as terrifying as a small nuclear weapon of the old civilization. The Sunlunar Galactic Flood Dragon should be a medium-sized nuclear weapon.
However, compared to other Class 9 Direbeasts, the growth of the Sun-Moonlight Starlight Scaled Dragon was very difficult and strange.
The other Level 9 Direbeasts were usually strong from birth. Most of them had the strength of a Level 3 Direbeast or above when they were young. During their growth period, they could easily reach the strength of a Level 5 or 6 Direbeast. When they reached adulthood, they were usually Level 7 Direbeasts.
At this point, as long as they were given enough resources and time, it was only natural for them to grow into Level Nine Vicious Beasts.
The only thing that restricted them was their small population.
But what about the Sun-Moon Starlight Flood Dragon? However, the Starlight Nether Fish did not grow like that.
Its population was not small. It was the Starlight Nether Fish. However, because the Starlight Nether Fish liked to wander around, the places they went to were often dangerous places for humans.
That was why humans only had a chance to capture them once a year.
So, what level were the Starlight Nether Fish? No, they were not vicious beasts at all. They were mutated beasts ranging from Level 3 to Level 5.
Under most circumstances, a Starlight Nether Fish would never grow into a Moonlight Nether Fish. Instead, it would remain as a mutated beast until it died.
How did the Moonlight Nether Fish appear in groups? At a certain point in time, the groups would devour each other in a chaotic battle. A Starlight Nether Fish that devoured more than 50 of its own kind would have a certain probability of mutating into a Moonlight Nether Fish.
So, what level was the Moonlight Nether Fish? It was still not a vicious beast but a Level 9 mutated beast after it mutated.
Above the Moonlight Nether Fish, there was another type of mutated beast called the Sunlight Nether Fish.
How did it mutate from a Moonlight Nether Fish to a Sunlight Nether Fish? It was a mystery to humans.
There were countless guesses, but none of them was agreed upon by the humans.
In short, the Sunlight Nether Fish possessed the strength of a Level 3 vicious beast, which was considered a qualitative leap.
However, the Sunlight Nether Fish was not in its final form. Their final form was naturally the Sunlight Nether Aquatic Dragon.
However, no one knew what the process of evolving from moonlight to sunlight was like. So, what happened during the final mutation? The humans had no idea.
After the final mutation, the Sunlight Nether Fish would become the famous Sunlight Nether Aquatic Dragon. After becoming a Sunlight Nether Aquatic Dragon, it would transform back to its juvenile stage.
However, this infant stage was very different from the infant stage of the Starlight Netherworld Fish. This was because the infant Sun-Moonlight Starlight Flood Dragon was born as a Class 6 Direbeast and had extremely high intelligence that humans could not comprehend.
Coupled with the special talents of its race, it could almost kill everything in its path.
They lived in the deep sea and rarely had the chance to see the world, so it was highly possible for them to evolve into a Level 9 vicious beast.
Mantle was more familiar with the process, so he explained it to Tang Ling in great detail.
Tang Ling listened thoughtfully. The process was really magical. It felt like the Sunlight Nether Aquatic Dragon did not grow normally. It needed an opportunity to evolve into a special form.
Tang Ling could accept the magical phenomenon. He did not need to explore the process since he was not a scientist.
However, that was not what Tang Ling wanted to know the most. What he wanted to know was what was so special about the Moonlight Nether Fish. What was the difference between it and the Starlight Nether Fish?
Tang Ling treated the Mantle brothers as the supplement to his knowledge of the sea. Mantle, who was the smarter one among the three brothers, obviously knew more about it. He gave Tang Ling an inappropriate example to help him understand.
For example, there was a precious ingredient in the old civilization called the Butter Crab, but what was the Butter Crab? It was just a normal female green crab.
However, during the growth process of the female green crab, there was a one in a thousand chance that she would be stimulated by sunlight. The crab meat on her body would decompose into yellow oil and spread all over her body, turning her into the precious Butter Crab.
The example might not be appropriate, but it could also explain the difference in value between the two fishes.
"The difference in value between the Starlight Nether Fish and the Moonlight Nether Fish is much more than the difference between the green crab and the Butter Crab. I said the difference is more than a hundred times! "Mantle was afraid that Tang Ling did not understand, so he emphasized the point.
Tang Ling raised a brow. "What's the use of the Starlight Nether Fish? What about the Moonlight Nether Fish? "
It was a question that Tang Ling had always been curious about.
However, Mantle was a Rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior. Aside from the Seven Stamen Lotuses, he could still get Starlight Nether Fish and the Mutated Tricolored Sea Pearl for Tang Ling during the advancement.
Therefore, he had a say in the matter.
There were a few steps to advancing. The first step was to find the location of one's first gene lock.
The Starlight Nether Fish itself did not contain a lot of energy, but its skin — yes, the skin that shone like the stars — could help one get closer to the universe. From there, it could better understand one's own body and determine the location of one's first gene lock.
That was the reason why it was best to have the Starlight Nether Fish during the advancement.
Tang Ling was baffled. Get closer to the universe? Understand one's own body?
Fine, if one did not reach that stage, one might not understand the profoundness of the gene lock. It reminded Tang Ling of his past experience. With the little seed's help, he saw his nine gene locks.
If the Starlight Nether Fish was so valuable, what about the Moonlight Nether Fish?
It was related to the secret of a Purple Moon Warrior reaching rank 3. Everyone knew that rank 3 was a huge dividing line for a Purple Moon Warrior because after reaching rank 3, no matter how bad one's talent was, he or she would be able to utilize their talent abilities!
The Moonlight Nether Fish and talent abilities were closely related. According to Mantle, with the Moonlight Nether Fish, it could increase the success rate of advancing from Rank 2 to Rank 3 by 30%.
Tang Ling's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
An increase of 30%?
In this era where everyone yearned to become stronger, even an increase of 5% was enough to drive people crazy, let alone a 30% increase in success rate.
Moreover, it was the most important hurdle for a Purple Moon Warrior.
"If a Moonlight Nether Fish is valued according to True Capital coins, even if it's a little weaker, the better it is based on the moon pattern on its body.
"Anyway, the ones with the lowest quality are worth 10,000 True Capital Coins."
Mantle licked his lips as he spoke. His eyes were overflowing with greed. 10,000 True Capital coins! They killed and robbed here. If they were unlucky, they might not even be able to earn 10,000 True Capital coins in half a year. Moreover, they had to hand over most of the profits to Duo Ge.
Tang Ling nodded calmly as if 10,000 True Capital coins were nothing to him. However, only he knew that when he heard the number, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Countless resources appeared before his eyes, and all of them could be exchanged for a single Moonlight Nether Fish!
With that in mind, Tang Ling had the urge to kiss the Blood Scissors Brothers. They were two treasure boys!
However, the disgusting thought was quickly interrupted by Tang Ling.
He thought of one last question. If the Moonlight Nether Fish was already so powerful, what about the Sunlight Nether Fish?
"Oh my god, are you thinking about the Sunlight Nether Fish? That's … "Mantle could not help but exclaim in shock when he heard Tang Ling's question.
"Remember, I'm not thinking about the Sunlight Nether Fish! I just want to know more about it. What's so precious about it? At least, the Moonlight Nether Fish didn't tempt me. "Tang Ling pretended to be pretentious.
However, Babnu and Mantle, who treated Tang Ling as a mysterious person, really believed in him.
They thought it was normal for Tang Ling to be unmoved.
Hence, Mantle told Tang Ling everything about the Sunlight Nether Fish.
It was nothing special. The Sunlight Nether Fish was related to the upper-tier Purple Moon Warriors. Everyone knew that rank 3 was the biggest threshold for a Purple Moon Warrior, and the upper-tier Purple Moon Warrior was the peak that all Purple Moon Warriors desired to cross.
Indeed, it had risen to the level of a peak.
Crossing the upper-tier was considered extraordinary, and anything below the upper-tier was still considered a normal human. Even though Tang Ling personally believed that a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior had surpassed the limits of a human, in the eyes of a Purple Moon Warrior, only the upper-tier was truly extraordinary.
As for the specific relationship between the Sunlight Nether Fish and the upper-tier Purple Moon Warrior, even Mantle could not explain it.
All he knew was that if someone was lucky enough to catch a Sunlight Nether Fish, even a rank 7 or 8 Purple Moon Warrior would fight to buy it.
On the other hand, at their level, one did not have to worry about them killing and robbing, at least not for a Sunlight Nether Fish.
The value of a Sunlight Nether Fish was not fixed because it was an auction-grade resource. The starting price was usually 100,000 True Capital coins.
If one were to buy it directly, the Sunlight Nether Fish would cost at least 160,000 True Capital coins.
Tang Ling's breath turned heavy when he heard that. He pretended like he was fine and took a sip of wine, but he was actually trying to moisturize his dry throat.
"If the Purple Moon Warriors didn't eat the Sunlight Nether Fish, then …?" Tang Ling asked out of pure curiosity.
However, after he heard the question, Mantle suddenly yelled frantically, "No! That's a waste! Even the extravagant Poseidon family wouldn't give a Sunlight Nether Fish to their core disciples. Their hearts would bleed if they ate it. The Sunlight Nether Fish is something that can't be bought with money. "
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling's heart was also bleeding. If he accidentally ate the Sunlight Hades Fish, he would slap himself a hundred times.
After getting the precious information, Tang Ling should have been excited, but for some unknown reason, he did not know why.
At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart seemed to explode, turning into a strong sense of crisis. Was it a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior chasing after him?
While Tang Ling was deep in thought with furrowed brows, Babnu, who was not that smart, cleared his throat and said, "I think you should go up to the top of the ship."
"Why?" Tang Ling's ears felt like they were pricked by needles when he heard that, but somehow, he had a strong feeling that he had to go.
