Chapter 130: Encyclopedia of Exotic Beasts
"Do you know?"
"Photographic Memory was initially considered an A-Grade Talent, just like Insight Eye."
"It is just that because many people's mental strength is insufficient, this talent cannot be fully utilized."
"It is like taking a high-precision core component and putting it into an ordinary instrument; can it even operate?"
"People with insufficient mental strength who forcibly use the Photographic Memory talent will only cause excessive brain consumption, and it is even possible to become a vegetable."
"Because the risk is too great, Photographic Memory was downgraded to a D-Grade Talent."
"But a twice-awakened Photographic Memory talent is different."
Jiang Dashi sipped a cup of clear tea and said slowly.
"Come, let me test you."
"What is the eighth character on the seventh line of the sixty-fourth page of the Pet Beast Cultivation Secret Manual?"
Ye Bai answered without even thinking: "Neng."
Jiang Dashi spot-checked several books in a row, and even had Ye Bai read an entire book backward, yet he was able to recite it without missing a single punctuation mark.
Regarding this, Jiang Dashi had already greatly changed his opinion of Ye Bai.
Only a twice-awakened Photographic Memory could record the content of everything he had learned in his life within a short period of time.
It was also by chance that Jiang Dashi learned this talent could be awakened a second time, and he had also been bitterly searching for someone who had awakened it twice.
However, Jiang Dashi intended to observe a bit longer and not reach a conclusion so early.
It was possible, however, to teach Ye Bai some basics.
Jiang Dashi stood up slowly and led Ye Bai to a place resembling a library.
He pushed open the door; inside were tens of thousands of books, densely packed, filling the entire library.
"All the books here are part of a set called the Encyclopedia of Exotic Beasts."
"Recorded inside are all the Exotic Beast species and their data that we humans have discovered."
"Our sect was responsible for dissecting Exotic Beast corpses at the time; for every type of Exotic Beast we processed, another book was added."
"That is why we are so knowledgeable about all kinds of Exotic Beasts."
"You should first read through this entire Encyclopedia of Exotic Beasts."
"You must remember the contents of these books clearly, one by one, and understand them thoroughly."
"From now on, you will come in the morning."
"I hold clinic hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I only release ten numbers each time."
"You will treat the patients that follow, and if there is something you truly cannot handle, you can ask me for advice."
After Jiang Dashi finished speaking, he walked forward a few steps, but Ye Bai felt that his back seemed to have hunched even more.
By the time Jiang Dashi returned to his own room, a trace of fresh blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the paper dolls hurriedly took out a bead as bright and clear as jade, intending to have Jiang Dashi hold it in his mouth.
"It is useless; this thing no longer has any effect on me."
"Keep it to save someone else's life instead."
"My lifespan is already running low."
"I hope I can hold on for a while longer."
"Only if I can find a suitable successor will I have no regrets toward my sect."
Jiang Dashi sat down slowly and gradually closed his eyes.
The surrounding paper dolls all revealed expressions of helplessness.
Ye Bai remained in the library, with two paper dolls standing guard at the entrance.
The library was actually categorized according to the various types of Exotic Beasts.
The Insect Type ones were placed together, and the Fire Type ones were placed in a pile.
Every book cover had the name of an Exotic Beast on it.
Ye Bai pulled out a book at random, and on it was the Hell Spider.
This type of Exotic Beast (an uncontracted Pet Beast is called an Exotic Beast) possesses eight eyes, and its body is covered in dense Poison Stings.
Its silk is extremely tough, and its venom is Highly Toxic, producing a corrosive poison.
Its large pincers can easily pierce through a one-meter-thick steel plate.
An adult Hell Spider is about two meters tall; they love to eat rotting corpses and will implant their eggs into the corpses, controlling the corpses through the small spiders.
The Hell Spider will manipulate the corpses it has taken a fancy to in order to attack opponents; it is a very fierce and terrifying Exotic Beast.
Ye Bai saw the lifelike painting of the Hell Spider, and it was as if the Hell Spider were standing right in front of him; he could feel the pressure emanating from the Hell Spider, as well as those eight blood-red, large eyes.
He knew this used a special painting technique to seal the aura the Hell Spider had while alive into the painting, giving the person reading the book a more intuitive impression.
It introduced many of the Hell Spider's habits and weaknesses, adding a lot of knowledge for Ye Bai.
This knowledge could greatly increase Ye Bai's experience and improve his knowledge storage capacity.
Ye Bai, like a sponge, immersed his mind in flipping through these books, but there were simply too many books here, and Ye Bai could not finish them in a short while.
Moreover, he had many other things to handle, so in desperation, Ye Bai could only plan to finish the books whenever he came over to learn how to treat Pet Beasts.
Just as Ye Bai was about to leave, his peripheral vision suddenly caught an encyclopedia labeled Poison Flood Dragon.
With a thought, he pulled it out.
A Poison Flood Dragon is a venomous snake that has survived for five hundred years and successfully transformed into a flood dragon.
Once a Poison Flood Dragon appears, a radius of several hundred miles will turn into a poisonous swamp; Ye Bai saw a ferocious head staring fixedly at him.
A ferocious giant beast stared fixedly at him, its pitch-black pupils emitting a sinister look, its body covered in purple-black scales, its Zhua were two meters long, and its tail was like a trident.
At the first sight of the Poison Flood Dragon, Ye Bai felt as if he were being secretly watched by a venomous snake; the sinister, cunning, and ruthless nature could all be seen in the Poison Flood Dragon.
His back felt cold; a chill drilled in directly from the soles of his feet, rushing straight up his spine to the top of his skull.
Ye Bai continued reading: this Poison Flood Dragon gestates a Poison Flood Dragon Pearl, capable of summoning massive amounts of poison clouds and Poison Mist.
Its venom is enough to poison even a seventh-rank Exotic Beast to death.
If Ye Bai intends to deal with the Poison Flood Dragon, its venom will be a major hurdle.
Moreover, the Poison Flood Dragon's scales are extremely hard; a precious sword that cuts iron like mud leaves not even a white mark when it lands on the dragon's scales.
The person who wrote this book back then had to borrow a Thousand Dragon Slash, a blade full of spirituality, to break through the Poison Flood Dragon's scales.
However, the Poison Flood Dragon's venom still eroded quite a bit of the Thousand Dragon Slash's spirituality.
Through dissection, it was discovered that the fourth scale below the Poison Flood Dragon's heart is connected to its heart; that is the location of the Poison Flood Dragon's reverse scale.
As long as the Dragon-Slaying Sword is stabbed into this position, it can inflict massive damage on the Poison Flood Dragon.
This scale is a tiny bit smaller than the average scale, making it relatively difficult to discover.
Ye Bai knew the Poison Flood Dragon's weaknesses; now, what he needed to solve was the impact of the venom on the surroundings.
Poison Flood Dragon, Poison Flood Dragon—since it has the word "poison" in it, the venom must be its signature skill.
Ye Bai deeply memorized the contents regarding the Poison Flood Dragon; he planned to go back and discuss with Zhang Lingxue how they could annihilate the Poison Flood Dragon.
After Ye Bai Departed from Anbao Hall, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
At this moment, a "person" walked out from Anbao Hall, opened an umbrella, and handed it to Ye Bai.
"Be careful on the way back; it feels like this weather is about to turn into a downpour."
"My name is Paper Doll Puppet; please treat me well in the future."
This person wore a red dress, had a red dot between her brows, and possessed hair as long as a waterfall; if she hadn't revealed her identity herself, Ye Bai wouldn't have known she was a paper doll.
"Puppet, come back; don't say so much."
Jiang Dashi's voice came from behind the door; the Paper Doll Puppet looked at Ye Bai apologetically and turned to Depart.
Upon returning to the Research Institute, Zhang Lingxue walked over with a smug look on her face.
"Ye Bai, guess what I did today."
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow; oh, so happy.
It seems the Positive Electric Rabbit and Negative Electric Rabbit must have evolved; otherwise, how could the teacher be so happy?
The corners of her mouth couldn't even be suppressed by an AK.
"The Positive Electric Rabbit and Negative Electric Rabbit evolved, right?"
"Which two were they?"
Ye Bai asked Zhang Lingxue, taking the experimental records from her hand.
"Those two rabbits named Luomiao and Zhuliye; they evolved proactively without a single bottleneck, as simple as drinking water."
"It seems the Lightning Alfalfa really did have an extremely serious effect on the Positive Electric Rabbit and Negative Electric Rabbit."
"By the way, did Jiang Dashi accept you?"
Amidst her excitement, Zhang Lingxue asked Ye Bai.
"Accepted; I go there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays now."
"Today he had me perform a Level 3 Surgery, which completely exhausted me."
"Afterward, he showed me many books about Exotic Beasts."
"Among them was a detailed introduction to the Poison Flood Dragon."
Ye Bai sat by the laptop and typed rapidly, quickly tapping out the detailed information.
"This is the secret transmission of Jiang Dashi's sect."
"It's fine for you and me to discuss the Poison Flood Dragon, but don't act so recklessly in the future."
Zhang Lingxue was reminding Ye Bai; without Jiang Dashi's permission, these materials cannot be written down.
"I know; this time it was just to make it easier to deal with the Poison Flood Dragon that I wrote this down. It won't happen again."
Ye Bai nodded and turned the laptop around.
Zhang Lingxue carefully read through the Poison Flood Dragon's data.
"Teacher, we actually have a great advantage against the Poison Flood Dragon now; the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Suppressing Stone can both have a huge impact on the Poison Flood Dragon."
"Moreover, the Poison Flood Dragon's current strength is only fifth-rank; we have four fifth-rank Pet Beasts now, I don't believe we can't kill it."
"But there is a big problem now: the Poison Flood Dragon can use skills like poison clouds and Poison Mist; how can we defeat the Poison Flood Dragon?"
"Avoiding the venom from polluting the entire environment."
This was the point Ye Bai was worried about; the Poison Flood Dragon was released by him, and if it caused devastation to all living things, it would count as his sin.
"Regarding the poison of this Poison Flood Dragon, I do have a method, but this method has a bit of risk."
Zhang Lingxue rubbed her throbbing temples.
"My Huidu E has a special poison sac that can store and isolate venom."
"But the Poison Flood Dragon's body is so large, there should be quite a lot of venom; I'm just afraid this venom will exceed the range the Huidu E can withstand."
"That is the risk point."
Begging for votes, begging for votes, begging for votes.
