nQin Yue’s current equipment was all waterproof. She thought for a moment and asked the giant whale, “When did you start to mutate?”

nThe giant whale thought for a moment and said, “Mutate?”

nAt this time, it was impossible for Qin Yue to explain what a mutation was to the giant whale. She could only change the question.

n“What is your usual energy source?”

nThe giant whale shook its head and said, “I don’t know either. I always eat small fish.”

n“How many strong creatures like you are there in the sea?”

n“I don’t know. The sea is so big. How would I know how many strong creatures are there?”

nChu Ze, who was listening to the conversation between them, couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, he couldn’t help but say to Qin Yue, “Stop asking. Do you think it’s human? It probably only has this kind of wisdom in the past two years. It’s already pretty good that it can talk so much.”

nQin Yue knew this, but Qin Yue wasn’t an expert in studying mutated creatures. If Madman was here, he would definitely ask more crucial questions.

n

n“Okay, okay, don’t ask anymore. Let’s continue moving forward. When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll let you interview them properly.”

nSeeing that she couldn’t get anything out of it, Qin Yue gave up and stop asking.

nThey continued to move forward along the god-knows-how-long mineral vein. Their speed was much slower than the Evolvers in front of them.

nThe group of Evolvers immediately ran away as soon as they saw the giant whales. It wasn’t until later that they discovered that Qin Yue, Chu Ze, and the others were all beside the giant whales.

nMoreover, the whales were still following behind Chu Ze, so they couldn’t remain calm.

n“What’s going on? That whale is actually following behind the Chinese Evolver like a little brother. How is this possible?”

n“Looks like China is already leading the world in the field of mutant creatures.”

n“Look at that guy. He’s actually riding on a whale. This is simply unbelievable.”

n“What should we do now? Should we go and greet the Chinese Evolvers?”

nChu Ze looked at the hesitating Evolvers in front of him and smiled, not intending to pay any attention to them.

nAfter swimming for a while, Chu Ze saw a series of large bubbles emerging from the back of the whales. Chu Ze suddenly remembered that the whales needed to go to the water surface to breathe.

nHe didn’t know where the surface of this mystical realm was. It was possible that there was no surface at all.

nChu Ze asked worriedly, “Big Guy, do you need to go to the surface to breathe?”

nThe whale nodded and shook its head. “We needed it in the past, but we don’t need it anymore.”

nHearing this, Qin Yue began to record and made her own guess.

nIt seemed that after the whale mutated, it grew an organ that could breathe underwater, which meant that its ability to stay underwater was stronger.

nThen, she saw the whale open its mouth and spit out a bead.

n“With this bead, we can stay underwater forever. I have a few more here, do you want them?”

nAfter the bead appeared, it immediately pushed aside some seawater nearby, but under the control of the whale, only about one cubic meter of seawater was pushed aside. It formed an air balloon.

nChu Ze glanced at Qin Yue and signaled her to take the bead.

nThe giant whale cried out, and the few giant whales behind it all spat out their excess beads.

n“Take these beads as your reward for clearing the barnacles for them.”

nChu Ze didn’t stand on ceremony. Moreover, the giant whale didn’t know what was being polite. If he said he didn’t want them, it might really think that he didn’t want them.

nChu Ze let Qin Yue take all the beads.

nThen, Chu Ze used the Dragon Eye to look at the beads in Qin Yue’s hand. Only the name and function of the bead appeared.

nLow-level Water Repellent Bead: It had a certain degree of water repellent ability. It was useless.

nAlthough the system evaluated the bead as useless, Water Repellent Beads were very useful underwater.

nQin Yue held a Water Repellent Bead in her hand and carefully injected some spiritual energy into it.

nThen, she closed her eyes and carefully sensed the Water Repellent Bead. After a long time, Qin Yue opened her eyes in disappointment.

nAlthough this Water Repellent Bead had good functions, it was not suitable for people of her level who were not too high level. Because the consumption was relatively high, she could not stay in the water forever.

nChu Ze could not stand it any longer and could only teach her how to refine the Water Repellent Bead.

nAlthough it was the system that refined the Sea Jar last time, Chu Ze still knew the feeling, so he was still familiar with the refining process.

nQin Yue was very smart, too. Chu Ze only told her all the feelings during the refining process, and she knew how to refine this thing.

n“Let’s not move too fast now. Let Qin Yue finish refining this Water Repellent Bead,” Chu Ze said to Li Feng, who was behind a few giant whales.

nAfter hearing the word ‘Water Repellent Bead’, Li Feng swam to Chu Ze’s side.

n“What is Water Repellent Bead? Does it have the same function as the legendary Water Repellent Bead?”

nChu Ze looked in Qin Yue’s direction. “There is one in Qin Yue’s backpack. Go get one and refine it. You will know after refining it.”

nQin Yue’s backpack was tied to Chu Ze’s body with a rope. She wasn’t carrying it. Li Feng directly took out a Water Repellent Bead.

n“Eh, how can I refine it?”

nChu Ze taught Li Feng again. There were no fools who could become a Pioneer. Li Feng also learned quickly.

nHalf an hour later, Qin Yue woke up first. Then, she injected her spiritual power to activate the Water Repellent Bead in her hand.

nThe Water Repellent Bead emitted a blue light that enveloped Qin Yue. Then, Qin Yue removed the glass cover on her head.

n“Look, I don’t need this thing anymore. This Water Repellent Bead is really a good thing.”

nChu Ze observed Qin Yue curiously. Other than the blue light on Qin Yue’s body, nothing else could be seen.

n

n

n“How do you control the Water Repellent Bead?”

nQin Yue put the Water Repellent Bead into her pocket.

n“After refining the Water Repellent Bead, I can control it at will to a certain extent.”

n“Now it looks like I’m soaking in water, but in fact, my body is covered with an extremely thin layer of air membrane.”

n“This layer of air membrane not only provides me oxygen, but it can also isolate the underwater pressure.”

nLi Feng, who was beside him, also woke up. Then, Chu Ze saw that Li Feng was wrapped in an air bubble and began to float upward.

nFortunately, Qin Yue pulled him back in time and tied him to Chu Ze’s body. Otherwise, he would have directly floated up.

nLooking at the large air bubble on Li Feng’s body, Chu Ze was somewhat speechless.

n“Didn’t you say that after refining, you can control it as you wish? Why is Li Feng different from you?”

nLi Feng also said somewhat helplessly, “Controlling this thing is a little troublesome. I wanted to slack off and directly make a ball. Who knew that it would actually float..”
