Chapter 110: Chapter 93: The Negative Electric Rabbit Is Too Big for One Pot, So Use Two
Zhang Lingxue plucked out the Tier Five Poison Master certificate with a bang from the Pet Beast Space.
The golden pattern on the certificate gleamed brightly under the light.
Watching this, Ye Bai’s face twitched. She carries something like that around too?
"According to my speculation, all those researchers should have figured out the cause, which largely relates to the Thunderstruck Alfalfa."
"However, they should all be powerless about it. These Negative Electric Rabbits seem to only eat Thunderstruck Alfalfa."
"Teacher, you may have to painstakingly examine the relationship between the Negative Electric Rabbit and the Thunderstruck Alfalfa."
"By the way, verify the source of toxins after the Negative Electric Rabbit self-destructs, so we can continue better."
"I’ll deal with this Negative Electric Rabbit’s corpse."
"Just so it doesn’t sit in here and be an eyesore."
The Sunflower King deftly used Vine Whip to bind this juicy rabbit.
Ye Bai looked at this perfect muscle contour, the blood-red rabbit meat, and gulped.
This Negative Electric Rabbit meat is really good, though its brain is somewhat shriveled. The muscles are still twitching, proving the meat is very fresh.
"Oh yes, Ye Bai, about the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm, we need to catch a few Burrowing Rats from inside."
"To conduct experiments to see how, besides through Beast Tide, we can research the mutated Blood Storm Rat King."
"Only the mutated Blood Storm Rat King possesses the Spiritual Crystal Core."
The Burrowing Rat Secret Realm, those high tier Blood Storm Rat Kings were wiped out by Zhang Lingxue and President Wang together.
She discovered that only the mutated Blood Storm Rat King could produce the Spiritual Crystal Core, while regular Blood Storm Rat Kings had Blood Cores instead.
"Those Spiritual Crystal Cores are very useful and can treat Pet Beast Masters whose spiritual power has been soiled."
"Every year, quite a few Pet Beast Masters go mad because their spiritual power is tainted."
"We’ve found a way to treat them."
"If we can research the mutated Blood Storm Rat King, it would be a meritorious deed."
"Even more impressive than me founding a Hundred-Change Silkworm lineage, and even more meaningful."
"These two are my main research projects right now."
"The Hundred-Change Silkworm research is temporarily on hold, just letting it go as fate decides."
"Here’s the Space Key for you."
"You’ll go in a bit and catch a few Burrowing Rats."
"The Space Key for the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm, let’s just leave it with you for now."
Ye Bai was stunned: "Teacher, such an important thing, you leave it with me?"
"What if it gets stolen or lost?"
Zhang Lingxue rolled her eyes: "The Space Key is bound by my spiritual power; anyone other than me can’t steal it."
"With just a thought, the Space Key will instantly return to my hand."
"To unbind the Space Key takes at least twenty-four hours; this gives me ample time to call it back."
"I’ll study the toxin aspect first."
"You go catch a few Burrowing Rats, and let your Pet Beast have some training while you’re at it."
"But be careful, the Secret Realm of Burrowing Rats still has Tier Four Exotic Beasts."
"Although President Wang and I cleared most of them last time, some must have slipped through."
"These stragglers will hate humans fiercely; if they encounter humans, they’ll attack recklessly, so you need to be cautious to avoid being ambushed."
"If you encounter a Tier Four Exotic Beast, hold onto the Space Key and recite coming out in your mind."
"You’ll come out of the Secret Realm."
"However, wherever you exit the Secret Realm from, that’s where you’ll re-enter the next time."
Zhang Lingxue gave careful instructions to Ye Bai.
After speaking, she went off to busy herself, testing the toxins, which is a massive project and would likely take two or three days before results come out; toxicology testing is easy, but identifying the toxin will take quite a while.
Ye Bai took some time to let the Negative Electric Rabbit pass away a bit more peacefully.
So let’s make some spicy rabbit head, Kung Pao Rabbit Dice, fresh pot rabbit, boiled rabbit, to make the burial package more complete.
The Negative Electric Rabbit is so big, it won’t fit in one pot, so let’s split it into two pots.
The rabbit bones were extracted to make soup.
Ye Bai carefully removed the white fascia from the tendon meat of the rabbit and fried it in 98-grade stubborn bean oil.
Slowly stewing on low heat, adding scallions, ginger, garlic, and dry chili for a vigorous stir-fry on high heat, then adding a scoop of marinade oil and garlic sprouts, the flavor just pops.
Ye Bai picked out a piece, tasted it, and his eyes lit up, crispy outside, tender inside, full of juices, truly delicious.
Spices won’t overpower but instead, draw out the aroma buried deep within the rabbit meat.
After readying the dishes, Ye Bai prepared to dine, no, to feast.
He placed the black-and-white photo of the Negative Electric Rabbit with a hole shot through its head in the middle of the dining table.
A pair of helpless dead fish eyes stared at Ye Bai through the photo frame.
It was gone, gone peacefully, only its eyes stayed wide open, and there’s a hole in the center of its forehead.
Drawn by the aroma, Zhang Lingxue came over, grabbed chopsticks, and picked a piece of double-pepper rabbit meat, happily savoring it.
The meat in her mouth gave a numbing thrill, as if a load of Sichuan peppercorns were embedded in the meat, the more she chewed, the more fragrant it got.
However, as she saw the pale photo frame of the Negative Electric Rabbit, her gaze trembled instantly, and the rabbit meat on her chopsticks fell down. She struggled to speak: "Ye Bai, this thing, could it be?"
Ye Bai nodded, he then served the thick soup made from rabbit bones to Zhang Lingxue.
"It’s exactly that Negative Electric Rabbit."
"To benefit the people, we must first taste the Negative Electric Rabbit’s flavor."
"Moreover, we need to research various ways to cook Negative Electric Rabbits, and once we succeed, we’ll promote them, which will reduce public resistance significantly."
"Our future slogan will be, not a single Negative Electric Rabbit can walk out of the West."
Zhang Lingxue listened and felt it made sense, eating three large bowls of rice with tears in her eyes.
She planned to start dieting after this meal and concluded that Negative Electric Rabbit meat is truly delicious.
After being well fed, Zhang Lingxue slumped onto the sofa in the Cultivation House and fell asleep.
Due to the presence of the little snow dog, the temperature in the Cultivation House was kept quite low, so Ye Bai took a thin blanket and gently covered his teacher with it.
Next, he planned to properly train the Hundred-Change Silkworm and the young charcoal dog, especially the newly contracted young charcoal dog.
If the Hundred-Change Silkworm doesn’t use its clone, it is a defensive type of pet beast.
However, Ye Bai believed its near-invincible defense could also be used to attack the enemy.
As for the charcoal dog, there were many areas that needed training.
Ye Bai called for Big Gray and the Sunflower King to follow him into the Secret Realm.
Ye Bai also locked the door of the Cultivation House from the inside, and the sign outside changed to ’Closed’.
He Guangda was hiding at the corner, secretly observing the Fang Yuan Cultivation House.
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes.
After much inquiry, He Guangda finally found this place.
"So they moved here."
"Shops at the school gate are as valuable as gold."
"It seems this guy must have gotten quite a bit of money."
"Haha, I originally just wanted to take back my Sunstone."
"But seeing you living so well, it doesn’t seem too much to take a little extra."
He Guangda licked his lips, now with too many people and watching eyes around, he planned to act later in the evening.
By then, it would depend on whether that kid was tactful or not.
If he was tactful, he could have a quick death, as long as he kept the operation discreet, the sheriff shouldn’t find out.
Once I escape with this money to a far place, I will rise again.
He Guangda had already made his decision, his eyes filled with a fierce light, now just waiting for it to get dark to begin the operation.
He even prepared an escape route and bought a boat ticket, planning to risk everything on this one bet.
Burrowing Rat Secret Realm.
Ye Bai landed on the grass-covered ground.
The Burrowing Rat is a type of pet beast that lives underground, known for digging holes everywhere like rabbits.
Normally, their personality is quite docile, but once their reproduction ability exceeds the capacity of the entire Secret Realm, they start to slaughter each other, with the blood and flesh of the losers becoming the food for their companions.
After an earlier massive purge, only about one-tenth of the Burrowing Rats remained in the entire Burrowing Rat Secret Realm.
"Now we’re only seeing Tier One Burrowing Rats. Is there any chance to find Tier Two Burrowing Rats or Bloodstorm Rats for the little charcoal dog to practice with?"
Ye Bai muttered to himself.
However, Ye Bai thought it would be difficult, as a batch of Burrowing Rats here had already been killed by Wang Jinyin.
Ye Bai saw the snow-white bones scattered on the ground, each skull roughly the size of a bull’s head.
The ribs were full of cracks, indicating these high-tier Burrowing Rats were killed with sheer barbaric power.
"Sunflower King, help me catch a few Burrowing Rats for research, please."
The Sunflower King extended its roots, which suddenly drilled into the ground, and shortly after, a mound of earth emerged.
Ye Bai saw a large rat covered in what looked like hard fur, being pulled out by the Sunflower King.
This big rat had black fur and a long, large tail.
It was baring its teeth at Ye Bai, struggling constantly.
"Yo, is this another branch evolution of the Burrowing Rat?"
Ye Bai chuckled.

"This is indeed a worthy opponent."
"Little charcoal dog, I’ll leave it to you."
Not every Exotic Beast has a new evolutionary path.
Usually, ordinary Exotic Beasts reach their maximum at Tier Four.
The little charcoal dog enthusiastically bolted out from the Pet Beast Space.
Looking at this Hard Fur Black Rat, nearly a meter tall, it showed an excited expression.
Finally, it was time to showcase its skills.
