Chapter 178: Contracting the Sunflower Emperor

The Sunflower Emperor does not need to advance for the time being, so there is no psychological burden in contracting it, and it will not hinder the Sunflower Emperor's future.

However, the Space Pelican is a precious space-attribute Pet Beast, and logically speaking, Ye Bai should have prioritized contracting it.

But it possesses an ancient mirror within its body that can conceal its aura, so it will not be discovered by others for the time being.

In the end, the fourth Contract Slot fell to the Sunflower Emperor.

Ye Bai was afraid that the Sunflower Emperor would be disappointed again; as for the Space Pelican, it should understand.

Dahui will likely only have a chance once Ye Bai breaks through another rank.

"Sunflower Emperor, let us sign a contract."

The Soul power on the Sunflower Emperor surged, and a contract appeared as Ye Bai's blood dripped onto the Sunflower Emperor.

Its body was shimmering with brilliant light.

And the move Ye Bai inherited from the Sunflower Emperor was Holy Light Illumination.

Ye Bai's Myriad-Change Silkworm—Steelization.

Little Charcoal Dog—Dash.

True Dragon Spirit—Dragon Roar.

Sunflower Emperor—Holy Light Illumination.

Not a single skill capable of fighting.

He silently placed his hand on his head.

Following this logic, if he were to contract the Space Pelican, the skill he obtained from the Space Pelican would likely also be a support skill.

With 50 days until the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam, Ye Bai planned to thoroughly read through the botany books left behind by his grandmother.

To increase his knowledge reserve.

For a skill like Photographic Memory, if Ye Bai wants to utilize this ability, he must read a large number of books.

The final effect is that when Ye Bai thinks of a search term, a great deal of content related to that search term will emerge in his brain.

Big data retrieval is the best way to use the talent of Photographic Memory.

The sky suddenly turned as dark as ink, and drizzling rain fell from the sky.

Bolts of golden Thunder Light struck down from the sky, crashing heavily into the courtyard.

There is an especially large amount of rain this year.

Ye Bai looked out the window and let out a long sigh.

Hopefully, nothing will happen recently.

He took a look at the recent intelligence.

【1. It is said that an ancient Zuwu in Jiaying City will appear randomly on rainy nights. Inside this ancient Zuwu is an ancient sacrificial spirit, which was transformed into a man-eating monster by the Gospel Society using the power of the Grave Whip. Inside the ancient Zuwu, the sacrificial spirit possesses an absolute control Domain; light-type skills are the nemesis of the sacrificial spirit.】

【2. There are two Grave Whips in total, which are important treasures of one of the leaders of the Gospel Society, the Necromancer. They can resurrect the dead and possess the power to curse the living. One Grave Whip is called Depart, which can make the undead return to Hell, and the other Grave Whip is called Return, which can allow the dead to be briefly resurrected.】

【3. The Grave Whip in Tianhe City has already begun to resurrect the dead. They have returned from Hell and possess extremely strong attack power. Those killed by the undead will also continue to be resurrected under the effect of the Grave Whip, becoming members of the undead army.】

【4. Regarding the theft incident at the Imperial Capital Research Institute, a main culprit escaped and mixed into a Secret Realm. Before dying, he placed the stolen Intelligence Brain Hub on a towering tree in the Secret Realm. This tree has a hexagram mark carved onto its body.】

【5. Summoning a Demon God can ignore spatial shielding; one only needs to use blood to draw the ritual for summoning the Demon God and prepare the offerings.】

After seeing these five pieces of intelligence, Ye Bai gritted his teeth; the first piece of intelligence was revealed so clearly.

Could it be that he will encounter the ancient Zuwu? If so, he must prepare dry rations and clean water immediately.

As for the situation in Tianhe City, Ye Bai had already reported it, but why had there been no movement for so long?

Ye Bai planned to observe a bit longer; if it really didn't work, he would send an email to continue urging Chairman Zhang.

Jiaying City Pet Beast Union.

Chairman Wang paced back and forth on the floor with his hands behind his back.

Fang Ritu, one of the inspectors, had gone missing in Jiaying City.

Old Wang would not take the blame for this.

Now his superiors had already ordered Chairman Wang to dispatch search members to find Fang Ritu's whereabouts.

"Why are there more and more things happening lately?"

"I feel like the world is about to change."

Old Wang muttered as he looked out the window.

When the weather cleared up the next day, Ye Bai came to the vicinity of Five-Finger Stone to conduct a Purple Jade Mushroom survey.

According to intelligence, there is a production area for Purple Jade Mushrooms near Five-Finger Stone.

Shark was keeping watch nearby, lying lazily in the grass where flowers were in full bloom.

Ever since she followed Ye Bai, she had been eating and drinking well, and in the blink of an eye, her belly had grown a circle.

The Space Pelican brought the God Blood Stone to Ye Bai.

The entire God Blood Stone was the size of a basketball, and its outer layer emitted a bloody scent.

Ye Bai casually stuffed the God Blood Stone into his Pet Beast Space.

At this moment, Ye Bai heard a rustling sound.

And at this time, Shark revealed a terrifying look in her eyes.

She lay flat on the ground, and Ye Bai also felt the surroundings being surrounded by a large amount of gray fog.

The ground continued to vibrate.

Shark pressed her ears against the ground to observe the movement.

At this moment, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Not good, this place is surrounded by a large number of Exotic Beasts."

"Listening to that crawling sound, they should be snake-type Exotic Beasts."

"Ye Bai, you must be careful; find a safe place to hide."

"The visitors are not here with good intentions."

Just at this moment, the ground suddenly cracked open.

One after another, Tier 4 Iron Armor Savage Snakes appeared.

Its body was covered in steel armor, and on its head, it possessed a single horn shaped like a blade. Its entire body was iron-black, and when it opened its mouth, one could see the Iron Armor Savage Snake's red snake tongue.

Its back was covered in barbs.

【Name: Iron Armor Savage Snake】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Metal/Poison】

【Trait: Sturdy: Passively increases its own defensive capabilities.】

【Level: Tier 4, Level 1】

【Mastered Skills: Poisonous Tooth (Proficient): Injects venom into its two sharp teeth to attack the opponent; the venom is corrosive, and once it hits the opponent, the opponent will enter a poisoned state in the short term.

Poison Needle (Proficient): Fires purple poison needles from its mouth to attack the opponent; the opponent will instantly enter a poisoned state.

Great Snake Pressure (Proficient): Fires a terrifying gaze from its eyes; the opponent will be hit 100% of the time and fall into a cowering state.

Super Impact (Proficient): Uses the single horn on its head to impact the opponent.】

【Evolution Route 1: Steel Armor Savage Snake, can only be triggered by consuming large amounts of toxins and large amounts of ore.】

【Rating: Pet Beasts specially cultivated here by the Gospel Society; they are the guardians of the ancient Zuwu.】

After seeing the evaluation, Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Combining this with the information he had seen previously, he immediately understood that there was a trap set specifically for him here.

Even the news about the Purple Jade Mushroom was likely released by the Gospel Society.

It was just that he did not know why the Gospel Society would go to such great lengths.

Ye Bai could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

Since people from the Gospel Society were specifically monitoring the area, he did not dare to release Dahui for the time being.

Ye Bai was extremely wary of the Gospel Society's necromancer.

Because this guy could contract spirits, it was possible that he was the one who captured Dahui back then.

If he rashly released Dahui, it was very likely he would provoke this person, and then it would truly be a dead end.

Ye Bai checked his phone; the Gospel Society had actually set up a signal jammer here.

"Damn it, to actually encounter defensive Metal-type Exotic Beasts."

"Where did these Iron Armor Savage Snakes come from? Was someone specifically raising them here?"

Lie Sha felt it was somewhat tricky.

She could dodge them herself, but with Ye Bai there, it was difficult for her to let go and fight.

Lie Sha summoned her Pet Beast; its appearance looked like a Gun Shark, but it was much larger in volume than a Gun Shark. They were like mortars, and it was also called a Mortar Shark.

At the same time, two Gun Sharks shaped like pistols appeared in Lie Sha's hands.

Ye Bai understood Lie Sha's talent; she could summon any shark-shaped Pet Beast.

This included the Gun Shark clan.

And the Gun Shark was a piece of equipment-type Exotic Beast.

Bang, bang, bang.

Lie Sha bounced around near the Iron Armor Savage Snakes.

Bullets slammed fiercely toward the Iron Armor Savage Snakes.

Bang, bang, bang.

A portion of the armor on the Iron Armor Savage Snakes' bodies caved in, and sparks flew in the air.

"Such hard armor; I don't believe I can't break through your armor."

Lie Sha was suddenly furious.

She directly switched Lie Sha's bullets.

"Ye Bai, run, find a safe place and just hide."

As soon as Lie Sha finished speaking, Ye Bai was already sitting on the back of the Space Pelican, flying toward the distance.

At this moment, Lie Sha jumped high into the air, and several Iron Armor Savage Snakes also jumped up directly.

They opened their Blood Basin Mouths and bit toward Lie Sha.

Bang, bang, bang.

The bullets landed inside the Iron Armor Savage Snakes, and violent explosion sounds rang out.

The Iron Armor Savage Snakes exploded entirely, flying outward like a large shotgun blast.

Their armor was exceptionally tough, so the fragments directly pierced through the defenses of the remaining Iron Armor Savage Snakes.

A dark shadow saw Ye Bai Depart and revealed a cold smile: "Ye Bai has already left; we can begin the operation."

"Hmph, dare to offend the Gospel Society, and I will let you die inside."

"Fang Ri Tu has already been locked inside by us; now, locking up one more is no trouble at all."

"When the time comes, the two of them will be made into puppets by us, and their Souls will be harvested by us to become part of the sacrificial spirits."

If Ye Bai saw this guy, he would discover that this guy looked exactly like the Poison Dove Priest, only the Poison Dove Priest was younger.

The Space Pelican flapped its wings and flew toward the distance, with a portion of the Iron Armor Savage Snakes chasing after them.

"Faster, Space Pelican, faster."

Ye Bai urged the Space Pelican; several times the Iron Armor Savage Snakes were about to bite the Space Pelican's feet, but were directly dodged by the Space Pelican.

The Sunflower Emperor shot a large quantity of sunflower seeds out from its petals.

The moment these sunflower seeds made Impact with the Iron Armor Savage Snake, they also exploded, emitting a large amount of black smoke.

Taking advantage of the black smoke obscuring the line of sight.

The Sunflower Emperor threw its own Clone down.

As long as these Clones ran out of the location where the Five-Finger Stone was, they would use Ye Bai's mobile phone to send a message to President Zhang.
