    Chapter 431

    The enormous jellyfish swayed its body with a unique rhythm in mid-air, its soft and slender form drifting continuously above Lorant's head as if caught in waves.

    It moved effortlessly, creating a distinctive rhythm.

    Lorant gazed up at the creature before him, mouth slightly open, utterly stunned by its sheer size. He couldn't help but wonder how such a massive creature had survived within the confines of a monster egg.

    However, he soon realized that this might not be a difficult feat for a Dream Jellyfish.

    Though the Dream Jellyfish appeared large, its body was actually soft, fluffy, and expansive.

    Describing a jellyfish-like creature dozens of times his size in such terms might seem off, but Lorant felt that with a bit of effort, he could roll it into a small ball and hold it in his hand.

    Like a cloth bag, it appeared large when spread out, but its actual size wasn't exaggerated.

    The Dream Jellyfish moved with an air of remarkable elegance. It simply turned around without any extra movements, seemingly just observing its surroundings, but the motion looked incredibly dreamy, as if it carried an atmosphere that could easily captivate anyone.

    Just by watching it, even in the noisy breeding room, Lorant felt his mind sinking into a quiet, serene drowsiness.

    Coupled with the constant chiming of the Healing Chime around him, Lorant's expression became somewhat dazed.

    He looked up blankly at the blue creature in the air, like a devout believer listening to sacred hymns in the church of the Goddess of Light.

    Enchanted and ethereal.

    His entire spirit entered a wondrous state, becoming incredibly relaxed and comfortable.

    Lorant gazed up, entranced, at the massive jellyfish slowly swimming above the breeding room. But then, the mark of the Phantom Spider, dormant in his chest, seemed to sense a threat and suddenly stirred, stretching its claws and turning its large eyes toward Lorant's head.

    Instantly, Lorant's mind cleared, and the hallucinatory feeling quickly dissipated, bringing him back to full awareness.

    Lorant couldn't resist reaching out to touch the long tendrils of the Dream Jellyfish that hung down to the ground.

    The deep blue, soft tendrils gently coiled around his wrist, like an exquisite blue ribbon.

    The ability chart in Lorant's mind instantly stirred.

    With a look of enjoyment, Lorant closed his eyes and watched the massive ability chart open for the second time that day.

    Within the B-level creature directory, which had just revealed a new entry, another dazzling, shimmering entry awaited his perusal.

    "Dream Jellyfish"..............................b0007.

    Looking at the 007th B-level creature, the Dream Jellyfish, Lorant felt a surge of pride.

    His fingertips gently traced the top of the page. Unconsciously, the variety of his B-level creatures had already reached a total of seven!

    Two years ago, he had believed that even one B-level creature would be enough to run the monster shop successfully.

    Reflecting quietly, Lorant eagerly opened the ability chart while caressing the deep blue ribbon-like jellyfish in his hand.

    As the ability chart opened, a faint blue light seeped out from the depths of the book's seams, as if the entire chart had submerged into the deep sea, covered in a beautiful aquatic glow.

    A round, chubby head squeezed out from the gap in the pages.

    In that small crevice, a phantom Dream Jellyfish, visible only to Lorant, slowly floated up before him.

    As if squeezing its body into a thin layer through the cracks of a rock before emerging, Little Qing and Little Black demonstrated their flexibility right in front of Lorant.

    This made Lorant's eyes light up, as it meant that this beast pet could indeed achieve such a feat in reality, surpassing many other beast pets in terms of flexibility.

    Only the unreasonable little thing, Little Specter, could compare with it in this aspect.

    Gradually, the Dream Jellyfish that floated out from the Bestiary merged with the physical Dream Jellyfish in mid-air, becoming one.

    The body structure of the Dream Jellyfish is inherently complex, and when two overlap, it becomes even harder to distinguish between them.

    However, the dreamy atmosphere was not diminished in the slightest.

    Subsequently, the Dream Jellyfish from the Bestiary dissipated into the air like a light, floating dream, leaving only the oblivious Dream Jellyfish alone in its place.

    Lorant was once again stunned by the beauty of the scene just displayed before him. He took a deep breath and stared intently at the large Dream Jellyfish floating in the breeding room before finally lowering his head to read the description of it in the Bestiary.

    "Skills":

    1. "Illusory Dream": The Dream Jellyfish can forcibly bring all creatures within the area covered by its spores into a dream. In the dream, the Dream Jellyfish can manipulate the prey's mind and thoughts. The duration of the dream depends on the prey's mental strength level; prey with higher mental strength than the Dream Jellyfish can break free from the dream more quickly.

    2. "Silent Realm": The Dream Jellyfish cannot make any sound. It is a very quiet beast pet that can emit subtle energy fluctuations into the surrounding air, creating a soundless realm within a certain range where no sound can be made or transmitted.

    3. "Hypnotic Poison": The tentacles of the Dream Jellyfish can secrete a venom that can put people to sleep. It only needs to come into contact with the prey's skin to take effect. The production of the Dream Jellyfish's venom is extremely low, and after releasing the venom, the Dream Jellyfish will enter a weakened period and cannot use other abilities.

    From the description of this beast pet's skills, it is not hard to see that the Dream Jellyfish, true to its name, has every skill designed to put its prey to sleep, making it a wondrous pet.

    This is different from the Dream Weaver, whose ability is to provide better sleep quality for people after they fall asleep, eat their nightmares, and invisibly increase the total mental strength of mages during sleep.

    However, the Dream Weaver cannot directly make people fall asleep, meaning all its abilities can only be used after people have fallen asleep on their own, while the Dream Jellyfish can perfectly complement the Dream Weaver.

    It is, in a way, a true blessing for insomniacs.

    It's not an exaggeration to say that wherever there is a Dream Jellyfish, there will be no insomnia. Moreover, for Lorant, the most valued aspect of this sleep-inducing ability is not only reflected in the venom secreted by the Dream Jellyfish's body.

    It also exists in the "Illusory Dream" skill of the Dream Jellyfish, where the most important aspect of this energy wave is that it is an area-type ability.

    It can batch pull people into dreams.

    Previously, the Bestiary vaguely described the abilities of these two beast pets, giving Lorant countless ideas.

    However, before seeing these clearly listed skills as he did today, Lorant's ideas were still baseless and could not be formally realized.

    Now it's different. With the skills of the "Dream Jellyfish" clearly laid out in front of Lorant, he is almost certain that the Blue Star Inn centered around beast pets he imagined can definitely be built.

    And it will surely achieve a result that satisfies him.

    This will be a perfect combination where one plus one is greater than two, or rather, one plus two is greater than three.

    Although countless fantasies and much joy arose in his heart, the most important thing was the matter at hand. So, Lorant first settled both beast pets with the help of the Floating Octopus.

    The Dream Jellyfish looks large, but due to its quite buoyant and thin nature, its actual body is not that big.

    It appears large only because Little Qing and Little Black stretched their bodies as thin as possible and spread them out in the air.

    Whether it's a beast or a beast pet, this method is one they like to use to intimidate enemies.

    By exaggerating their presence to scare off enemies, it can be said to be the most cost-effective way outside of combat.

    However, when the Dream Jellyfish was lured down by Lorant, had its head rubbed, and was ready to obediently eat its eggshell, this originally large little one honestly shrank its body, feeling safe and obediently compressed itself into a thin shape according to Lorant's instructions.

    Eventually, the Dream Jellyfish was only slightly larger than its monster egg, barely noticeable.

    It resembled a layer of deep blue translucent fabric, wrapping around the entire monster egg and making faint nibbling sounds.

    When it finished eating and began to sleep, this little creature looked even stranger.

    Perhaps because the surrounding environment provided them with enough sense of security, Little Qing and Little Black no longer tried to puff themselves up into a thin layer to scare non-existent enemies.

    They turned into blue jellyfish about as tall as a person, and their color appeared much deeper than when they were in their 'giant' form.

    At the same time, they seemed a bit less dreamy.

    When the Dream Jellyfish fell into sleep, the entire creature floated up, like a plastic bag drifting aimlessly in the deep sea. Each of these little creatures swayed pitifully in mid-air, restless and ready to drift away at any moment.

    To prevent Little Qing and Little Black from wandering off to strange places in their sleep, Lorant had the floating octopuses carefully tie their tentacles with soft ribbons to small stakes, so they could float these light little creatures back to their resting room like kites.
