Chapter 1725 - Cold Qi (5) (2/2)

Dyon sighed a breath of relief. At least this evolutionary change didn't warp the docile nature of blue whales.

The matter of these blue whales also explained many things to Dyon. Since the source of this cold qi could move around, it was no wonder Dyon had never experienced it before. With how large the Oceans of Earth were, it was incredibly lucky, or maybe unlucky, that Dyon and Ri had run into this blue whale colony this time.

'They're migrating.' Ri suddenly said.

Though she couldn't use her qi, and speaking with water in her mouth was next to impossible, Ri and Dyon's souls were still connected, so it was easy to convey a message when they were so close to each other without alerting the cold qi.

Dyon was about to ask how Ri knew this, but he wisely refrained. Ri was the Elvin Queen, her talent for beast taming was second to none. As her abilities bloomed, so too did her ability to communicate with beasts.

Something like this was a minor ability when it came to beast who had already gained their human forms, but not all beasts were able to reach this stage. And, even for those who could, there would still be a period in their lives where they couldn't speak human language.

Considering a beast's youth was the best time to tame them, it was obvious how outstanding Ri's ability to innately comprehend them was.

'Migrating?'

'Mm. They came from far deeper, several million miles. However, they came up after they and their fellow clansmen realized that they humans were gone. They felt more emboldened to explore more areas of the ocean.'

Dyon nodded in understanding as Ri continued.

'It seems you were right. The depths of the ocean are incredibly hot, to a level far higher than even a normal star. These blue whales evolved to hide in those depths because several epochs ago cultivators from the martial world kept hunting them down due to their vital qi filled flesh.

'In the beginning, they died because the heat was too much. But, after several generations, this cold qi became their counter.'

Dyon was astonished. This explanation of Ri's was more than just about comprehending beast speech… In fact, it reminded Dyon of the hamster twins' ability! Except, Little Yang and Yin's ability only worked on inanimate objects, but Ri's seemed to work on the living!
