Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Power of the Gray Poison Moth
The wings of the Gray Poison Moth shimmer with a purple hue under the golden sun.
At this moment, it resembles a regal queen.
"My Gray Poison Moth is the strongest in battle and has the best talent among all my pet beasts. If it hadn’t accidentally evolved into the Gray Poison Moth, it might have already broken through to Tier Six."
"If only I could find an evolutionary path for the Gray Poison Moth."
Ye Bai dared not reveal that Zhang Lingxue’s Gray Poison Moth indeed could evolve further.
But how would Ye Bai explain how he knew, surely this would arouse Zhang Lingxue’s suspicion.
After all, a professor at twenty years old, if her IQ wasn’t 150 it would be 160, and the Great Deceiving Skill couldn’t fool her.
Unless he had Naruto’s heavenly mouth.
Currently, however, Ye Bai’s strength is still very weak, as a Tier One Pet Beast Master he could not see the data of the Tier Five Gray Poison Moth.
Therefore, Ye Bai had to place his hopes on the intelligence system, to see if the system could reveal some useful information.
"Teacher, why are you here? Why aren’t you at school, what are you doing out here?"
Ye Bai retorted first.
Zhang Lingxue was directly amused by Ye Bai’s words.
Has this guy evolved enough to dare speak to his teacher this way?
But when she saw Big Gray with a sunflower on its head standing silently nearby, Zhang Lingxue immediately understood Ye Bai’s reliance.
With two Tier Three pet beasts, naturally he wouldn’t fear a Tier One Burrowing Rat, and even dealing with Tier Two Bloodstorm Rats was straightforward for him.
From the materials she had read, Sunflowers were the inherent nemesis of Burrowing Rats, their roots could pierce through the head of the Burrowing Rat instantly.
"Didn’t I tell you to find a safe place to hide during the Beast Tide?" Zhang Lingxue said with crossed arms, annoyed.
"Don’t think that the two Tier Three pet beasts behind you can protect you."
"Once the Beast Tide breaks out, even I would flee for my life."
At this time, dozens of Tier Two Bloodstorm Rats silently surrounded Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue.
They gazed greedily, in the eyes of these Bloodstorm Rats, the two were just fat meat on the chopping board.
Especially the aura emanating from them, Bloodstorm Rats could sense that hunting them would bring great benefits.
"Where did these Bloodstorm Rats come from?"
Zhang Lingxue frowned.
"Burrowing Rats evolving into Bloodstorm Rats requires a large amount of flesh, clearly the nearby residents have all been evacuated."
"Could there still be hidden residents?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "Teacher, you forgot about the group of fat koi raised in the artificial lake at Central Park."
"They’ve been fed so much they’re like pigs ready for slaughter, each weighing hundreds of pounds."
"Just one fat koi could help a Burrowing Rat evolve into a Bloodstorm Rat, let alone a group."
"By the way, teacher, has the Beast Tide been suppressed yet?"
Ye Bai asked the question he wanted to know.
Zhang Lingxue’s identity wasn’t just a simple Shen Mountain Middle School teacher, Ye Bai felt she must have other identities, he just didn’t know yet.
"The Beast Tide has been suppressed, but some stray Burrowing Rats have escaped."
"You know the trait of Burrowing Rats, they’re good at playing dead and digging."
"At the moment of the Beast Tide outbreak, because there were simply too many Burrowing Rats, the Pet Beast Union was overwhelmed, which led to many Burrowing Rats escaping."
"There’s another big trouble now."
Zhang Lingxue sighed, originally she didn’t intend to mention this.
But Ye Bai was not an outsider, so Zhang Lingxue told Ye Bai about the situation at the cold storage.
Frozen meat!
Smuggled goods ship!
Ye Bai’s heart skipped a beat, this indeed might trigger another Beast Tide.
"Now the president of Jiaying City’s Pet Beast Union, Wang Jinyin, has led a team to the cold storage."
"Due to lack of manpower, our Shen Mountain Middle School teachers have shouldered part of the task to clear out the Burrowing Rats."
As a result, she encountered students wandering around.
This guy, does he even know how terrifying the Beast Tide is.
Although this time it’s just a Tier Two Beast Tide, you never know if a High Tier Exotic Beast will appear.
Zhang Lingxue had been to the Beast Tide battlefield before, the Beast Tide was like a meat grinder, if a High Tier Exotic Beast leads a Beast Tide once, how many pet beast masters’ lives wouldn’t be enough to fill it.
Bloodstorm Rats watched as the two continued their conversation, feeling their dignity was challenged.
Leading one Bloodstorm Rat shrieked sharply towards the sky, and the other Bloodstorm Rats began to act.
They bared their claws and teeth, rushing towards Ye Bai.
All the Bloodstorm Rats had dark red coats, evidently they had been evolved for some time.
A black shadow rushed forward, knocking the Bloodstorm Rats flying.
The Bloodstorm Rats fell into the water with a splash, like dumplings going into the pot.
It was then that Zhang Lingxue recognized the black shadow was Ye Bai’s Thousand-Change Silkworm.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm emitted a silver sheen, spraying two thick streams of white steam from its nostrils.
The once proud and upright Thousand-Change Silkworm, upon seeing Zhang Lingxue’s inquisitive look as if she wanted to dissect it, immediately became timid.
It quickly hid behind Ye Bai, not daring to look at Zhang Lingxue directly.
Ye Bai inwardly chuckled, this fearless Thousand-Change Silkworm turned meek like a mouse encountering a cat when meeting Zhang Lingxue.
At this time, the Bloodstorm Rats climbed out of the artificial lake, surrounded by a thick Blood Mist.
This Blood Mist was corrosive, the marble steps beneath their feet were corroded, sizzling with bubbling sounds.
"Little Purple, finish them off."
The Gray Poison Moth flapped its wings, emitting a purple powder from its enchanting wings.
The powder landed on the Bloodstorm Rats, causing their eyes to bulge wide as if popping out.
They clawed at their throats, tongues hanging out, letting out a few cries, and then fell lifelessly to the ground.
Moreover, their bodies rapidly corroded into bones, revealing crystalline Blood Cores.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm looked at the Blood Core with greed, unable to hide the drool at the corner of its mouth.
"Does your Thousand-Change Silkworm need these Blood Cores?"
Zhang Lingxue noticed the expression change of the Thousand-Change Silkworm, curiously asked.
Ye Bai nodded: "These Bloodstorm Rats’ Blood Cores seem to enhance the Thousand-Change Silkworm’s defense."
"Besides, it can also enhance the Thousand-Change Silkworm’s recovery ability."
Hearing this, Zhang Lingxue immediately said: "Then let the Thousand-Change Silkworm consume these Blood Cores."
"Ye Bai, the Thousand-Change Silkworm is a rare mutation of the Hundred-Change Silkworm, it’s very valuable research material. Its evolutionary path, you must observe carefully."
"If it accidentally evolves into a Gray Poison Moth, you’d suffer a great loss."
