Chapter 147: Shadow Attack

The Holy Light of the Sunflower Emperor shone down, granting the Fluorescent Jellyfish immense benefits.

What Ye Bai did not know was that the Fluorescent Jellyfish could copy the light source during its evolution, so it directly copied the Holy Light Shine skill.

After evolving, the Fluorescent Jellyfish was much larger in volume; it looked like an ethereal white long dress.

The Bright-Light Jellyfish drifted in the air, emitting green light from time to time, which made the three of them burst into laughter.

"By the way, Zhang Yiyi, could you let me handle the scraps from your Pet Beast Slaughterhouse?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked Zhang Yiyi; this counted as an exchange of benefits.

"About that, I have to ask my dad before I can tell you."

"Wait a moment."

Zhang Yiyi took out her phone and walked outside, muttering for quite a while.

Finally, Zhang Yiyi walked back: "My dad has agreed, but those scraps need to be processed as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, they might attract other Exotic Beasts."

"I will take you to the warehouse where the scraps are stored in a while."

"Let this be the reward for you helping my Pet Beast evolve."

Tiannan Province; the headquarters of the Resurrection Society is located in a small county town within this province.

The people of this small county town all worship a statue of an evil god with three heads and six arms.

They are all believers of the Resurrection Society; as long as a member of the Resurrection Society says a word, they will offer up their own lives.

The Blood Saint Son has been back for almost a month.

The long-sealed Blood Saint Hall has been opened once again.

With the Red Knight and the Black Knight, two sixth-rank powerhouses, clearing the way, the Blood Saint Son has been very successful in recruiting followers.

During this month, besides recruiting followers, he has been searching for a way to expel Dankalabi.

Otherwise, the means by which the Blood Saint Son's lineage summons Demon Gods will be completely abolished.

He has already fallen too far behind the other Saint Sons and cannot continue to waste any more time.

After searching for a long time, the Blood Saint Son finally found a method to expel the mark of Dankalabi in an ancient book.

The Supreme Four Pillars of the Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods are the four great monarchs who rule the East, West, South, and North of Hell.

If one had their favor, expelling Dankalabi would be as easy as flicking a finger.

Next would be the Mid-level Demon Gods; bargaining with them against Dankalabi would be quite good.

If it were a Lower-level Demon God, then sorry, they cannot resist the furious Dankalabi.

"If this is the case, I must find a Magic Array capable of summoning a Mid-level Demon God."

"As for the offerings for the Mid-level Demon God, they must at least be in the tens of thousands; otherwise, why would the Demon God help me?"

The Blood Saint Son paced on the ground with his hands behind his back, then plopped down onto a skull throne.

"Red Knight, who do you think my Blood Pool will fall into the hands of?"

The Blood Saint Son rested his head on his hand, crossing his legs.

"I think there is a high probability it will be taken by people from the Pet Beast Association."

"Blood Saint Son, we either have to storm the Pet Beast Association, or we have to recast the Blood Pool."

The Red Knight boldly stated his thoughts.

"Neither of these is realistic; we cannot defeat the provincial Pet Beast Association, and recasting the Blood Pool requires too many resources."

"The offerings alone must be at least one hundred thousand."

"Our Blood Saint Son lineage also only succeeded in casting the Blood Pool after the efforts of the previous Saint Son."

"You all keep an eye out for Magic Arrays that summon Demon Gods recently."

"This is of great use to me."

The Blood Saint Son's eyes flashed with a ruthless expression.

Flood peaks came crashing down wave after wave.

By the third day, the Qianjiang section was truly breached.

A large amount of muddy water came rushing in.

However, the Pet Beast Association already had countermeasures in place; they summoned Rock Giants and Earth Giants, using their massive bodies to block the water flow.

Then, ice-type Pet Beasts began to apply cold gas, gradually freezing the breached section.

The days of heavy rain also left the streets of the entire Jiaying City covered in one meter of rainwater.

"What on earth is going on? Why can't the rainwater be drained?"

The mayor slammed the table and roared loudly.

"Mayor, according to the original design, the drainage channels flow directly through underground pipes into the Jiaying River."

"But now the Jiaying River flood peak is surging, and we have already closed the channel gates."

"Otherwise, the flood peak would backflow into the city through these drainage channels."

At this moment, Ye Bai's Breeding House had already been flooded.

Most of the items on the first floor were soaking in the water.

Ye Bai looked at the Exotic Beasts swimming incessantly in the water, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Dahui, let's go; this place is flooded, and the terrain over at the Research Institute is higher."

Ye Bai had thought about a flood, but he hadn't expected the flood to be this severe.

"If only I could find a treasure that could disperse rain or absorb flood peaks."

Ye Bai was only thinking about it; if such a treasure existed, the Yan Kingdom Alliance would have already taken action, so why wait until now?

At this time, the city-wide broadcast began: "Hello everyone, I am the mayor of Jiaying City, Li Lingfeng. We have currently received a Level 1 flood peak warning; the city stadium and the gymnasiums of all primary and secondary schools have been opened."

"If any citizens feel they are in danger, please head to these locations for shelter as soon as possible."

After hearing the broadcast, Ye Bai said to the Sunflower Emperor, "Sunflower Emperor, let's begin."

Sunflowers all over the city began to take action.

People trapped in the water only saw a massive ship made of sunflowers drifting toward them.

People boarded the large ship one after another, and under the safe escort of the sunflowers, they avoided the ferocious Exotic Beasts and finally arrived at the City Sports Center.

The mayor, who had been distressed by the lack of manpower, was moved to tears upon seeing the large ship made of sunflowers.

Because the sunflowers rescued such a large number of people, they were also called the Noah's Ark of Jiaying City.

Every time a person's gratitude was received, a ray of light fell into the body of the Sunflower Emperor.

Zhang Lingxue had been busy working on reports and had not paid attention to this matter; even her three daily meals were delivered inside by Dahui.

Zhang Lingxue had once said that unless there was an urgent matter, she should not be contacted.

She knew very well in her heart that she was the stabilizer of Jiaying City, and only when an irresistible enemy appeared in Jiaying City would Zhang Lingxue take action.

Ye Bai looked at the Information System.

【1. In the bell tower of a church in the northwest of Jiaying City, there is a hidden Magic Array for summoning the Seventy-first Pillar Demon God Seere; summoning it can reveal the location of thieves and hidden treasures.】

【2. The Heavy Water Pearl is hidden at the top of the Wanfo Pagoda in Jiaying City; its exterior is coated with a layer of gold paint, and it can emit a faint blue light at night; it is capable of absorbing water currents.】

【3. Three days later, a theft will occur at the library of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, and a book recording ancient magic will be stolen.】

【4. In the flood peak of Jiaying City, there is an Exotic Beast called the Clam Mother; it can gestate black pearls and white pearls that increase mental power, and its meat is very delicious.】

【5. A theft occurs at the Pet Beast Union in Jiaying City; someone used a Shadow to sneak into the secret vault to search for a treasure, and after a long search without success, they took the Bronze Treasure Sword.】

【6. The venom of the Arrow Poison Frog can neutralize the venom of the Ten Thousand Poison Snake; if you accidentally get poisoned by a Ten Thousand Poison Snake, you might as well inject the venom of the Arrow Poison Frog into your veins; two negatives make a positive.】

【7. After a flood peak, there is bound to be a great plague; the Night Mosquito is the main transmitter and will begin to multiply rapidly after the plague; the Thunder Light Dragonfly is the nemesis of the Night Mosquito.】

【8. The continuous heavy rain has caused landslides in the surrounding mountains; in three hours, a bus of students on the mountain road will be buried by a mudslide, and no one will survive.】

【9. The black and white pearls of the Clam Mother can help a Pet Beast Master ignore rank and help a Pet Beast sign a Contract Slot.】

【10. The weakness of the Tier 3 Black Water Snake lies in the cockscomb on top of its head; it also hates the smell of sulfur.】

After seeing these ten pieces of information, Ye Bai felt that he had to obtain the Heavy Water Pearl to solve the current problem.

"This flood peak won't pass that quickly, and there's a mudslide on the mountain road; this involves the lives of a whole busload of people, so it cannot be ignored."

"Right now, the Pet Beast Union is all guarding the embankments; even if I pass the news to the Pet Beast Union, they have no manpower to handle it."

"It seems that this time, I have to take action myself."

Ye Bai knew that the risk of him taking action was very high, especially with the Blood Saint and Shadow lurking and watching.

As for the person who hated him the most, it was probably Shadow.

If he walked out of the Safe House, he might be ambushed by Shadow.

"Forget it, the lives of a busload of people are more important, and I have Dahui; facing Shadow shouldn't be much of a problem."

At this moment, Shadow was in the secret vault of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Union.

He had already looked through all the treasures, but he simply could not find that Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade.

"Damn it, that is the key treasure for me to enhance my talent, so why is there no record of it?"

"And there is no record in this ledger either; what on earth is the problem?"

Shadow had taken a huge risk to sneak into the secret vault of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Union.

As a result, he had racked his brains to get in, but he hadn't found a single thing he wanted, making Shadow so angry he wanted to smash the place up.

Finally, Shadow's gaze fell on that Bronze Sword.

"There's no other way, I'll just take this sword; this thing has the highest value."

Shadow also picked out several other treasures and stuffed them into his Shadow space.

He dared not take too many, fearing there might be some traps in the secret vault.

After his Pet Beast died, Shadow was now just a Tier 3 small fry and could not handle those people from the Pet Beast Union.

"Let's go, it must have been hidden somewhere by someone."

"It seems I must have received false information; the real Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade must have been hidden away long ago."

"I'm feeling a bit annoyed; should I find that guy called Ye Bai and just kill him to vent my anger?"

Shadow thought over and over, feeling more and more stifled, so he turned into countless Shadows and left the place.

"I possess a Shadow Beast that can track scents; now, as long as I know where Ye Bai is, and his teacher isn't accompanying him, I can make my move."

"Just wait; you ruined my plan, and only your life is of any use to me; I will turn you into my shadow puppet."

Shadow let out a sinister laugh, which was quite chilling.

At this time, Ye Bai was already under the guidance of the Sunflower Emperor, having gathered a sunflower ship, and Dahui was rowing the boat with wooden oars toward the direction of the mountain road.

The floodwater was yellow, with quite a bit of debris floating in it.

However, there were many sunflowers rescuing citizens who were submerged in the water.

Mayor Li Lingfeng was overjoyed; fortunately, with the rescue of these sunflowers, our manpower is currently stretched thin, and the main force has all gone to fight the flood.

"The sunflowers have come so timely; after this flood peak passes, I propose that the sunflower become the second city flower of our Jiaying City."

Shadow was shuttling through the floodwater, and wherever he passed, he was harvesting the shadows of countless water-type Exotic Beasts.

The water-type Exotic Beasts that lost their shadows floated to the surface with their bellies up.

Their eyes were wide open, looking as if they had died with grievances.

Among them was a clam shell the size of a millstone.

"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be so many Exotic Beasts; my Shadow Legion can be reorganized."

"My old superior in the Gospel Society has come out of seclusion and is now telling me to go back."

"Should I go back or not!"

To tell the truth, Shadow was feeling somewhat conflicted at this moment.

He had been suppressed by another faction within the Gospel Society, reaching the point where they had almost completely fallen out.

Even if his old superior knew, they would only urge him not to tear off the mask of civility, which was extremely stifling for Shadow.

But if he did not return to the Gospel Society, there was no way out at the Resurrection Society either.

This time, Shadow saw clearly that the Blood Saint was nothing but a fancy pillow; no wonder his body was easily destroyed by the Heart Moon Fox sixteen years ago, with only a portion of his Soul escaping.

He felt that defecting to the Resurrection Society back then had been a wrong choice.

At this moment, an Exotic Beast in the shape of an all-black sparrow descended from the sky.

This Exotic Beast whispered something into Shadow's ear, and a playful smile immediately appeared at the corner of Shadow's mouth.

"So that's how it is; so you are not at the Research Institute after all."

"This way, I can avoid a direct confrontation with that stinking woman, and my pressure will be much less."

"With the addition of my Shadow Legion, dealing with Ye Bai should be a simple matter."

"If I had known, I should have finished off Ye Bai back then, to save myself from triggering so many things."

Shadow only felt that his heart was bitter, and he couldn't even find anyone to confide in.

At this time, Ye Bai had already reached the outer side of the winding mountain road; this mountain road had eighteen bends and was very difficult to travel.

Ye Bai did not know which section had the problem.

However, since he knew the problem was here, the Sunflower Emperor directly split off a large number of Clones, almost managing to place one sunflower every ten meters.

These sunflowers were all waiting patiently, waiting for the school bus to arrive.

However, what made Ye Bai somewhat depressed was that he did not wait for the school bus, but he did wait for a lunatic.

A giant sickle suddenly lunged out from his shadow; fortunately, Ye Bai used his hardening skill in time, otherwise, he likely would have been decapitated.

The giant sickle struck heavily against Ye Bai's skin, and his clothes were torn by the sharp blade.

Just at this moment, a pitch-black shadow crawled out from Ye Bai's own shadow.

He said coldly: "Found you, Ye Bai."
