Chapter 279: Ten Kraken Eggs Hatching

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“The kraken eggs are about to hatch?” Chen Ruoxue showed a surprised expression, then stood up, and walked toward the laboratory with him.

Inside were ten incubators lined up on the long experimental table. The kraken eggs inside were already making slight noises.

“Help me open all the lids,” Su Bai said and walked over to open the lid of an incubator. Only one-third of the hatching liquid was left inside.

However, it did not matter anymore at this moment because the kraken had hatched; it was just that it had yet to break the shell.

“Hehe?” Little Devil flew in. It looked at the kraken eggs and then at him. Its gaze seemed to be telling him that he was an unfaithful bastard.

Su Bai: “…”

All of a sudden, one of the kraken eggs was knocked open with a loud crack!

It was a kraken egg of the light attribute. What had emerged was a little fellow with a glowing white body half a meter long.

This was the Light Feather Kraken; it had a pair of golden wings on its back and was one of the first krakens of the light attribute.

A series of cracking sounds could be heard, and one by one, the little krakens all smashed their egg shells and emerged. They floated above the incubator, looking at one another and then at the two humans.

Their eyes were pure and ignorant.

These nine guys were of different shapes and attributes.

Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue walked over, brought out the food that had been prepared long ago, and poured all the egg shells and remaining hatching fluid into the incubators.

Without a need for instructions, these ten, newly hatched krakens rushed over with their tails wagging and opened their mouths to eat.

It was just that a few very naughty ones ran into others’ bowls and wanted to eat two bites of their food. Just like giant pandas eating pots of milk in a zoo, there were always some restless ones.

“Eat your own food.” Su Bai knocked on their little heads and returned them to their own bowls to eat.

While they were preoccupied with eating, he checked their data.

The metal-attribute kraken was silver-white with silver scales all over its body. It had a forward horn, resembling a great white shark. It was called the Single-horned Silver Kraken, an initial Giant Kraken of the metal attribute.

In addition to its swallowing characteristics, there was also a Sunder Armor skill. It would superimpose a layer of Sunder Armor every time it advanced by a small level. After the level was higher, no matter how strong the defense was, it would be difficult to resist its impact.

The wood-attribute kraken looked withered and yellowish; its whole body exuded the aura of decay. Its skin was like the bark of an old tree, but there was a green sapling on its head. This Withered Tree Kraken looked like a dolphin and had a slender, graceful body.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, there was the Life Storage skill, which could absorb other existences and even store its life force into the saplings above its head. Once stored, it could release the life force to treat itself or other pets when needed.

The water-attribute kraken had a blue back, snow-white belly, and two pairs of large fins. This Sky Sea Kraken looked like a humpback whale.

Su Bai’s Starry Omnivore Kraken was originally of the water attribute, but the two were not the same. His first kraken pet had a particularly round and big head, which resembled a sperm whale more.

Moreover, it was the Kraken King’s egg, so its characteristics were much better than this Sky Sea Kraken in all aspects. However, this did not prevent Su Bai from raising another Sky Sea Kraken.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, the Sky Sea Kraken had the Water Sage skill. This characteristic added every attack with a layer of deceleration effect, which increased with every level.

The fire-attribute kraken was quite peculiar. Its whole body was similar to a killer whale with flaming red magma. From a distance, the red magma was constantly flowing and transforming as it emitted a high temperature, but its tail was like an octopus with tentacles. This strange-looking fellow was called the Nine-tailed Flame Kraken.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, it also had the Fire Immunity skill, which made it immune to any fire-attribute attacks. Hence, it was relatively powerful.

The earth-attribute kraken was made of real soil and looked like a piece of gray-white stone spliced together. This Mountain-devouring Kraken resembled a blue whale.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, it had the Mountain-devouring skill, which could make itself heavier by eating soil. The heavier it was, the higher its defense.

The wind-attribute one was called the Green Wind Kraken. It looked very similar to a killer whale aside from almost being transparent. At first glance, only a light blue outline could be seen, and the other side could be seen through the silhouette.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, it had the Virtual skill. This made it weightless and shapeless. Hence, its speed could be as fast as it was frightening; it could also be well hidden.

The thunder-attribute kun was called the Thunder Spirit Kraken. It had a purple body and might resemble a tiger shark if not for the ten purple lightning-like thunder spirits hovering around it like guardians.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, there was the Thunder Spirit skill. This Thunder Spirit could store different lightning powers and could be restored after self-detonation. The number of Thunder Spirit would increase as its level increased.

The light-attribute kun, called the Light Feather Kraken, had a pair of wings.

It had the Light Domain ability, which was a relatively rare domain type, on top of having the Swallow characteristic. When inside its field, all the abilities of the Light Feather Kraken would improve by at least three times.

The body of the dark-attribute large kun, called the Shadow Bone Kraken, was composed of black bones, making it look the most hideous and terrifying when compared to its other kraken siblings.

Besides the Swallow characteristic, it had the Shadow skill; this allowed it to split its shadow continuously to attack its opponent. If the opponent was defeated by its shadow, it would fall into an unconscious state and could be swallowed.

The last one was a poison-attribute kun, called the Plague Poison Kraken, which had 10,000 black light spots surrounding its body like plague.

In addition to its swallowing characteristic, there was the feature Poison Fusion. Anything fitting the concept, be it a biological virus or a computer virus, could rely on this feature to fuse into a more terrifying toxin.

Su Bai looked at the ten low-level servant krakens, and their information appeared one after another on his pet interface.

Undoubtedly, these ten were inferior to the Starry Omnivore Kraken.

Nonetheless, they were existences with saturated origins, so their potentials were not what ordinary krakens could compare with.

It was difficult for ordinary krakens to possess a second characteristic upon birth; generally, they only had one swallowing characteristic.

The ten in front of him all possessed a second characteristic, and each trait was very useful and distinctive.

“Not bad.” Su Bai nodded in satisfaction, thinking of cultivating these then when they grew up.

The scene of releasing ten of these terrifying big guys together was exciting.

Moreover, with the backfeeding of ten such krakens, which had varying attributes, he estimated that his strength could become extremely terrifying, too.

After all, his current strength could already let him beat some monarch monsters by himself.

“They’re really impressive,” Chen Ruoxue touched the Light Feather Kraken’s head and said. She could easily see that these Krakens were extraordinary.

“There are still many eggs in the krakens’ nest; do you want them?” he looked at her and asked with a smile.

“Let’s forget it for now. We can talk about this again when we visit our hometown.” Chen Ruoxue shook her head gently.

Su Bai nodded. “Okay, then.”

At this time, the ten krakens had finished all the potions and medicinal cakes prepared for them. They all ran up to the couple and looked up at them with their big, round eyes.

“Onom~ Onom~”

They let out simultaneous crisp cries, indicating that they were not full.

Because of the innate integration of the contract to the egg, their closeness to Su Bai was natural.

“There’s no more food for the time being. It’s not good for you all to eat too much,” he looked at these baby krakens and exhorted earnestly.

However, the newborns had no intention of obeying his order at all. They turned their heads and started chewing at random things.

They did not even let off the table, chair, or floor. They opened their mouths and gnawed on everything.

Seeing this, he quickly summoned his contract book and kept them inside.

He threw some similar-attribute monsters, which he had prepared long ago, into the contract book, letting the baby krakens chase and devour those.

Anyway, with the released monsters being all servants, the newly hatched krakens should be capable of defeating them.

After his contract book was promoted to the amethyst level, the contract pages could also be used as storage spaces, where he could put some things or even monsters in.

“We have to go pick up Purple Jade and the others. She can teach these guys, with the old leading the new, to be obedient,” Su Bai looked at the lab that had been gnawed indiscriminately and said helplessly.

It was as if he had suddenly adopted ten children. It was too terrifying.

Having raised his pets one by one, he had never found it so difficult before.

“Hehe!” Super Big Demon kept spinning around him, letting out incessant cries as it glared maliciously at him.

“What is he saying?” He glanced at it and asked his girlfriend.

“He said that you’re a scumbag; you secretly acquired other pets behind Purple Jade’s back. He wanted to tattle on you.” Chen Ruoxue shrugged with a smile and glanced at him playfully.

Su Bai: “…”

This ghostly fellow had not seen Purple Jade for so long, but it was still its faithful follower.

He was speechless.

“Come on. Let’s go and eat.” He proceeded to ignore it and merely took Chen Ruoxue’s hand.

The sun had just set; it was a good time to go shopping, so she readily agreed.

“I want to eat a piece of stinky tofu,” she puffed her cheeks and said.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s eat rice noodles after that; I want to eat rice noodles with golden soup and intestines.” He rubbed his belly.

“Okay, then. Let’s head to the snack street and take a look.” Chen Ruoxue smiled.

East Capital’s lake was located at the center, and there was a snack street within a walking distance from it.

Super Big Demon and Planet Eye, which had shrunk to the size of a basketball, hovered over their shoulders.

After strolling around, the couple came to the snack street. Chen Ruoxue stopped in front of the small stall of grilled squid. She pointed at a white squid and said, “Give me four skewers of this squid.”

“Give me two more skewers of grilled gluten,” Su Bai ordered.

“Got it; wait a minute!” yelled the stall owner. He then started making the skewers.

After a while, the two left the shop with their barbecue meat.

“Come on; let’s go home.” Chen Ruoxue said once they were done eating the skewers.

“Okay.”

Su Bai nodded and the two proceeded to walk home. At this time, only the last red afterglow of the sun was visible in the west; the sky would be completely dark soon.
