Chapter 159: Old Yang Blacksmith Shop

On the way back, Ye Bai made a phone call to Zhang Lingxue.

He calmly informed Zhang Lingxue about how Killer Z had attempted to hunt him down, and that the Beautiful Country had organized an activity to hunt down high-talent contestants.

Killer Z had originally been ordered by the Beautiful Country to hunt down Li Weiyang, but ended up being saved by Ye Bai, which was why Killer Z hated Ye Bai so much.

Killer Z, who was trapped in a state of paralysis on the side, looked as if his eyes were about to pop out.

If looks could kill, he would probably have sliced Ye Bai into a thousand pieces.

Wait, how does this guy know so much? This is bad, he wouldn't implicate the organization, would he?

Heavens, I am going to become a sinner of the organization.

Killer Z's heart was pounding, not knowing what fate awaited him.

Once Ye Bai returned to Jiaying City, he followed Zhang Lingxue's request and entrusted Killer Z to President Wang.

President Wang would also personally escort Killer Z to the provincial association to dig out more inside information from Killer Z's mouth.

Ye Bai, however, was very interested in the super-alloy metal on the shell of that Sickle Beetle.

He stored the carcass of the Sickle Beetle into his Pet Beast Space.

The body of the Sickle Beetle was so large it almost occupied Ye Bai's entire Pet Beast Space; once he returned to the Laboratory, he began to toss the body of the Sickle Beetle into the Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool emitted a terrifying suction force.

The flesh and blood of the Sickle Beetle were stripped away bit by bit, leaving behind the Sickle Beetle's metal armor.

The meat on the metal armor had all disappeared. "Little Charcoal Dog, I'm giving you a task."

"Keep using fire on this shell."

"You will be considered successful when you can melt the shell into a metal pancake."

Little Charcoal Dog sprayed flames toward the shell.

The shell remained motionless in the flames, without even a single scorched mark; there was still a long way to go.

It seemed that a very high temperature would be required to dissolve the metal armor and transform it into metal pancakes.

The Sickle Beetle was a Fourth Order Pet Beast, while Little Charcoal Dog was at most Second Order Peak.

If it could melt the shell into a metal pancake, it would prove that Little Charcoal Dog's flame temperature was extremely high.

Its ability to control flames would also have reached a state of pure perfection.

The All-Change Silkworm looked teary-eyed, its bottom still red and swollen. Ye Bai applied some medicine to the All-Change Silkworm's bottom, and a cool sensation made the All-Change Silkworm reveal a comfortable expression.

At this moment, Ye Bai wanted to say some heartfelt words to the All-Change Silkworm.

"All-Change Silkworm, there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven; your defense can resist Pet Beasts of the same order."

"But when facing Pet Beasts stronger than you, this bit of defense is not enough."

"You must raise your defense to the extreme."

"You should have seen that Sickle Beetle, right?"

"Its defense couldn't even be broken by the Emperor Sunflower's Butcher Knife, yet Dahui slapped its head into its neck with one blow."

"If you encountered a Pet Beast with strength equal to Dahui, would you also have your head slapped into your neck by the opponent? Although your head and neck don't have a very obvious distinction either."

"So you must stack your defense to the max and let moves that enhance defense amplify your defense."

"This is the direction for your training."

The All-Change Silkworm's eyes were filled with terror, but soon, a look of determination flashed across them.

It needed to improve its defense and also increase its speed so it could fully dodge enemy attacks.

The All-Change Silkworm planned to practice running every day to improve its speed.

As long as you work hard enough, an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

The All-Change Silkworm planned to improve itself by making a little progress every day.

It now had a sense of crisis; it couldn't be surpassed by Little Charcoal Dog, otherwise, where would it save face?

At the same time, it also planned to gnaw on some metal to improve its Steelization skill.

The All-Change Silkworm discovered that as it gnawed on metal, the proficiency of its Steelization skill rose rapidly. After this incident, the All-Change Silkworm would likely practice the Steelization skill at all times until it transformed into a passive skill.

Seeing the Sickle Beetle killed right in front of it, the All-Change Silkworm had a Shadow in its heart; if such a thing happened to it, the All-Change Silkworm would probably be dead beyond a doubt.

It had to become strong and not be the tail-ender of the team; it couldn't rely on Dahui for everything.

What if Dahui was held back by another Pet Beast? What would happen to its Pet Beast Master if they encountered a strong enemy?

Just like this time, if Dahui hadn't saved the day, its Pet Beast Master would probably have kicked the bucket.

It had signed an Equal Contract with its Pet Beast Master; if the Pet Beast Master kicked the bucket, it would also kick the bucket.

After all, the amount of Styx Water everyone had on hand was not much.

The Emperor Sunflower held its two broken Butcher Knives, teary-eyed, and lay on the ground crying "ying ying ying."

It really loved these Butcher Knives too much; it even slept with them in its arms.

"Emperor Sunflower, don't be sad. After a while, I'll take you to find the old blacksmith to repair your Butcher Knives, how about that?"

Ye Bai tried to persuade the Emperor Sunflower, but the Emperor Sunflower wasn't very happy; it seemed a bit agitated. "What's wrong, Emperor Sunflower? If you have something to say, just say it."

The Emperor Sunflower shook its head and released Bailuo to provide online translation for itself.

"You big idiot, it wants you to go to the blacksmith shop immediately to get its Butcher Knives fixed, otherwise it won't know how to fall asleep tonight."

"I often see the Emperor Sunflower carrying this thing around, showing it off everywhere; it seems to love this thing to death."

Ye Bai nodded: "Fine, fine, fine. I'll go find the blacksmith right now and fuse the teeth of the Poison Flood Dragon and the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon into the Butcher Knives."

"By that time, I reckon only Sixth Order Pet Beasts will be able to withstand your Butcher Knives."

The teeth of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon were kept, and the teeth of the Poison Flood Dragon were also kept. Ye Bai planned to fuse the teeth of the Poison Flood Dragon and the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon into each of the Butcher Knives separately, which could ensure they didn't interfere with each other.

"Speaking of which, where is that Old Yang Blacksmith Shop?"

Ye Bai searched for the location of the Old Yang Blacksmith Shop, and it was actually not far from the school.

He brought the fragments of the two Butcher Knives and the heartbroken Emperor Sunflower to the blacksmith shop.

Old Yang Blacksmith Shop is located in a remote area, not far from the Garbage Mountain in Jiaying City.

The Garbage Mountain here is covered with all kinds of abandoned and scrapped trash.

The furnace fire in Old Yang Blacksmith Shop is bright; they are currently burning the metal fragments, turning them into a pool of molten iron.

The molten iron quickly condensed into a mass, dripped into the cold water, and let out a hiss.

After Ye Bai found the location, he walked right in and paid a visit in a swaggering manner.

Old Yang put on his reading glasses, looked at the broken Butcher Knives, and suddenly shouted: "Good, this Butcher Knife was actually refined from an Extraterrestrial Meteorite."

"It's a pity the technique was too crude, wasting such good Meteor Iron."

"Kid, let me ask you, do you want to bring your own materials, or should we provide them?"

"The materials provided by the shop will be more expensive, but they have the advantage of being comprehensive; if you don't need this service, you don't need to pay this money."

Ye Bai took out two exquisitely crafted boxes and pushed them in front of Old Yang.

Old Yang opened the boxes to look, and inside each were two sharp fangs.

"The materials are good, truly good; I even feel that with these four fangs, the Butcher Knives could be upgraded to Tier 4 treasures."

"I don't know how you want them to be refined?"

Ye Bai said sternly: "I want to put the teeth of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon into one Butcher Knife, and the Poison Flood Dragon teeth into the other; I don't know if that's possible."

Sparks from the furnace fire drifted out, reflecting on Old Yang's excited face.

"No, the effect of doing that would be very singular; it would be better to put one of each fang into every Butcher Knife."

"I'll explore how to refine Butcher Knives with spirituality over the next few days; you two go back first, leave a phone number for me, and I'll call you once I've figured it out."

"Rest assured, I won't covet your materials, rest assured."

Old Yang said happily; the fangs of the Poison Flood Dragon and the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon are very precious materials.

He had long wanted to try it once, but unfortunately, he lacked the courage.

"The Meteor Iron is good, it's just that the refining technique was too crude; otherwise, how could a kitchen knife made of Meteor Iron break?"

Old Yang soon had an idea and was writing and drawing on a notepad.

After Ye Bai returned to the Research Institute, Zhang Lingxue looked at Ye Bai with an anxious expression.

"Ye Bai, if there is nothing major, remember not to leave the Research Institute; just keep to the school-Research Institute-Breeding House triangle."

"Otherwise, you might be ambushed by a killer; I don't know who has such great hatred for you."

"They actually posted a public bounty of ten million Alliance Coins on the Dark Web."

"Wealth moves people's hearts; I don't even know what those guys might do."

Zhang Lingxue rambled on about several cases.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I have already found the things you mentioned earlier and have them for you."

"The Burrowing Rat Secret Realm possesses a large amount of Earth Crystal Cores and Earth Crystals. I have already subdued the Burrowing Rat; you can handle the rest yourself."

When Ye Bai obtained the Earth Crystal Cores and Earth Crystals, he looked at the Baibian Can, which possessed more Earth Type attributes, and an evolution route appeared on its body.

【Giant Rock Butterfly: Dajijinshi*4, Earth Crystal Core*4; dig a pit in a place filled with Earth Type energy to evolve the Giant Rock Butterfly.】

"As expected, I need to conduct group experiments to explore the mysteries of Baibian Can evolution."

For this, Ye Bai prepared ten Baibian Can; he planned to divide them into two groups.

The first group is to study how Baibian Can becomes a Thunder Light Butterfly.

The second group is to study how Baibian Can evolves into a Giant Rock Butterfly.

If he could publish this evolution method before the Beautiful Country releases their announcement, the entire research team of the Beautiful Country would probably vomit blood.

Dahui and the Emperor Sunflower were busy on-site, while the Baibian Can were training in the training room of the Research Institute with the Little Charcoal Dog.

"Come on, let's start the experiment."
