Chapter 121: Little Charcoal Dog's Advancement

"It's just that they were delayed for too long, and some of the insect eggs have already been damaged."

"The Six-Winged Flying Mantis will be fine after going back to rest for a while."

"If you encounter any suitable clients, you can also recommend them to me."

"I'll just collect these insect eggs, and I won't charge any fees."

Ye Bai lifted the crystal-clear insect eggs he was holding in his hands.

Insect eggs are equivalent to Exotic Beast eggs, but limited by the level of the Six-Winged Flying Mantis, they can never surpass the mother.

Besides hatching into larvae, the eggs of the Six-Winged Flying Mantis are also a high-grade ingredient.

Six-Winged Flying Mantises generally live in bamboo forests and feed on fresh bamboo, so the eggs have a faint bamboo fragrance.

Gourmets like to cook the eggs of the Six-Winged Flying Mantis with Ten-Yolk Eggs, which results in a chewy texture and emits a faint, fresh bamboo scent.

"Let's have this for dinner tonight."

"Dahui, go and purchase some Ten-Yolk Eggs."

"You don't need many, six will be about enough."

A Ten-Yolk Egg is about the size of an ostrich egg, containing ten yolks inside, and possesses extremely high nutritional value.

This is a delicacy born only through artificial cultivation and careful rearing.

The Little Charcoal Dog was currently practicing Xianghuo, manipulating the sparks to arrange them into various shapes in the air; this was a training method Ye Bai had taught the Little Charcoal Dog.

It needs to learn to control the flames throughout its entire body and lay a solid foundation.

Compared to when it first arrived at the Breeding House, the Little Charcoal Dog had grown quite a bit, and the fur on its body had become jet-black and glossy.

Its two canine teeth were extremely sharp.

Its Lijua were long and slender, capable of easily poking a hole through a wooden board.

Seeing that Ye Bai had arrived, the Little Charcoal Dog condensed a budding flame rose.

This flame rose slowly bloomed in mid-air, showing the Little Charcoal Dog's superb control ability.

"Not bad, Little Charcoal Dog."

Ye Bai rubbed its little head.

"Keep practicing. Come to think of it, those Awakening Potions from Sophia should be ready by now."

Only then did Ye Bai remember that he hadn't logged into his email for a long time.

After Ye Bai logged into his email, he discovered several messages.

He directly ignored the one titled "Who exactly are you?".

The subsequent letters stated that the Awakening Potions were ready, a portion of the Dragon-Slaying Swords had been collected, and the whereabouts of the Hellfire had been investigated.

These pieces of news caused a surge of joy in Ye Bai's heart.

The fact that the Awakening Potion was ready meant that the Little Charcoal Dog could also advance to the second rank, and if possible, it could even gain a dark attribute.

And Ye Bai's highest combat power here was the fifth-rank Dahui; after the start of summer, he would also have a fourth-rank Sunflower Emperor.

Through this instance, he had fully confirmed that the thin layer of gray mist covering the Pet Beast was also related to intimacy.

The higher the intimacy, the thinner the gray mist; once the intimacy reached a certain level, Ye Bai would be able to see the complete information of high-rank Pet Beasts.

Thus, Ye Bai sent a message to Sophia.

【by: The potion and the Dragon-Slaying Swords are packed in a box and placed on the rooftop of your company. I will have someone come to pick them up. Don't waste your effort trying to find out my identity. As for the information on the Hellfire, send it to me via email.】

After receiving the email, Sophia immediately called people to start preparing.

"Butler, we cannot offend him; just do as he requests."

【sofia: The Hellfire is rumored to have been seen in the Secret Realm called the Abyss of Hell. The risk is extremely high. If you need to go in, I can make arrangements.】

The Secret Realm called the Abyss of Hell?

Ye Bai had never heard of this Secret Realm. He looked it up online and discovered that this Secret Realm was not within the territory of the Yan Kingdom Alliance, but in the Big Bear Country.

This Secret Realm was discovered by a century-long project of the Big Bear Country that wanted to drill through the Blue Star; it is said that inside the Secret Realm is a miniature Hell.

Without eighth-rank strength, going to the Abyss of Hell is simply courting death.

Now, let's see if the Grandmaster (Zhang Dashan) has any way to deal with it.

After all, the news said that the Hellfire is connected to Hellfire; only a Pet Beast Master who has contracted Hellfire would know the whereabouts of the Hellfire.

Through the surveillance on the top floor of the Shenhuang Group, Ye Bai saw that Sophia had already prepared the items.

Subsequently, Ye Bai placed a delivery order on the Dark Web; once an esper with the ability of Space Transfer accepted the order, they would transfer the items over.

After inputting a specific coordinate, a large box appeared near the Research Institute, and it was carried inside by the sunflowers with a "heave-ho" effort.

Placing it at the Research Institute was much more covert than placing it at the Breeding House.

The perimeter of the Research Institute came with a signal jammer; if there were any positioning or tracking devices in the box, they would naturally be blocked the moment the Space Transfer occurred.

Ye Bai jogged all the way over; the wooden box was a large crate two meters in length, width, and height.

With a look, he signaled the Sunflower King to open the box.

The Sunflower King used its Genjing Chansheng, which were as hard as steel, to wrap around the box.

With a gentle exertion of force, the box fell apart, and inside were several long swords cushioned with velvet, with one gold and five silver blades.

There was also a row of colorful Awakening Potions.

What surprised Ye Bai was that the Shenhuang Group had even prepared third-rank Awakening Potions.

"This is a leap to the sky; it has solved a very difficult problem for me."

"This way, even the Myriad-Changing Silkworm can advance."

Ye Bai scratched his hair.

Moreover, these six Dragon-Slaying Swords, added to the one in his own hand, would form a sword array, giving him more confidence in dealing with the Poison Flood Dragon.

"Come out, Little Charcoal Dog."

Ye Bai summoned the Little Charcoal Dog from the Pet Beast Space.

It looked at Ye Bai's smiling expression and had a bad premonition.

Ye Bai picked up two vials of potion.

One vial of potion was as dark as ink, while the other was as passionate as fire.

At the end of the potion vial was a syringe.

The Little Charcoal Dog was shivering all over.

"Little Charcoal Dog, now is the time for your advancement."

Ye Bai inserted the black and red Awakening Potions into the Little Charcoal Dog's heart area.

An indescribable pain made the Little Charcoal Dog's whole body tremble.

As the potion was injected into the Little Charcoal Dog's heart, its eyes immediately grew wide, and a massive surge of energy rushed out from the heart area like a hot knife through butter, spreading in all directions.

The dark-element bloodline within its body was also activated at this moment.

Golden patterns resembling blood vessels appeared on its body.

It felt the blood throughout its body boiling, and its heart kept beating thump-thump, thump-thump.

Black flames appeared on the Little Charcoal Dog once again; its eyes were wide open, and it could feel an extremely cold aura spreading within its body.

Even the raging fire on its body could not drive away this coldness; instead, it made the Little Charcoal Dog feel waves of chill throughout its body.

"Little Charcoal Dog, catch this; whether you can unlock your second attribute depends on your own fortune."

Ye Bai threw out a ping-pong ball-sized, ink-black dark-element crystal.

This was the reward that the Sunflower King had brought back from Longhe City.

The Little Charcoal Dog opened its sharp fangs and took a bite of the dark-element crystal.

A crisp "Crack!" sound was heard, and the dark-element crystal shattered into countless fragments, merging into the Little Charcoal Dog's mouth.

It felt as if it had eaten something extremely cold; its whole body was shivering from the frost, and even its fur began to show a faint layer of ice.

"Hold on, Little Charcoal Dog, hold on."

Ye Bai encouraged it from the side.

The Little Charcoal Dog felt as if it were falling into a deep sleep; it seemed to see a night during a Rainstorm when they were abandoned by people.

The people who abandoned them did not consider at all that the five Little Charcoal Dog brothers were fire-element Pet Beasts and feared the onslaught of rain; they had simply put them in a paper box.

Having just been born, they had no strength and could not even open their eyelids.

The paper box was soaked by the rain, and the cold, damp water had gradually approached their skin; soon, the icy rain fell upon their bodies.

They were so cold, so cold; their current state was just as cold as it was back then.

The Little Charcoal Dog thought it would just die like this.

They huddled together, relying on each other's warmth to continue surviving.

Just at this moment, the Rainstorm seemed to stop, and the cardboard box gave a tremor.

Something seemed to reach in.

The Little Charcoal Dog used all its strength to open its eyes, and it discovered two large eyes blinking as they looked at it.

There was pity in those eyes, and a huge Zhua gently scooped them up and placed them on a soft belly.

The belly was covered in fur, which was not only warm but also soft.

So warm; hearing the sound of that heartbeat, the Little Charcoal Dog drifted into a dream.

When it woke up again, it found itself in a warm room.

They drank milk mixed with Flower Nectar, and their bodies had already been wiped dry with dry towels.

A huge gray Exotic Beast smiled honestly at them.

Just at this moment, the sound of a door opening came from outside.

The gray Exotic Beast showed a flustered expression, and a deafening roar came to their ears: "Dahui!!! You've picked up Pet Beasts again; how many times have I told you, you can't pick them up, you can't pick them up."

At that time, the Little Charcoal Dog's eyes dimmed; it was over, it would be kicked out.

However, that person was also someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart; after he finished lecturing the gray Exotic Beast, he looked at them again.

In the end, it inexplicably became the Pet Beast of that Pet Beast Master named Ye Bai.

It also learned the name of that gray Exotic Beast; it was called Dahui.

A warm current radiated from the Little Charcoal Dog's body.

The Little Charcoal Dog knew that it was actually not alone; it had its good brothers, it had the Breeding House, it had the Pet Beast Master, and Dahui—this was their home.

Thank you, Dahui, for saving us when we were young, and thank you to the Pet Beast Master with the sharp tongue and soft heart for giving us a pure land.

As the Little Charcoal Dog was about to close its eyes, the flames on its body suddenly underwent an Expansion of several times.

I have not yet repaid Dahui for saving my life, and I have not yet fought for the Pet Beast Master many times; I will not fall here.

Break for me, bottleneck!!!!

The Little Charcoal Dog's body emitted a "Crack! Crack!" sound like popping beans; the hot current and the cold current in its body reached a balance at this moment.

As the firelight dissipated, a heroic and spirited Little Charcoal Dog appeared.
