Chapter 221: It's It, It's It, It Is Indeed It

The Flame Sparrow turned into a featherless chicken and fell from the sky, only to be hurriedly retracted into the Pet Beast Space by Hong Haotian.

The Red Bull Team fled in a panic.

Ye Bai did not stop them; instead, he let them leave.

His actions just now were to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, forcing Hong Haotian to take his people and retreat by compelling Xiao Li to leave.

Ye Bai wanted to establish his own reputation, beating Hong Haotian until he dared not be his enemy.

Judging from Hong Haotian's performance just now, he should be somewhat annoyed; in the short term, he likely won't make a move against him again.

Ye Bai had the ability to wipe out the opposing team, but he couldn't handle the sheer number of opponents.

He was only worried that Lan Fa and Yun Luo might be ambushed; if they were teleported away by a Space Talisman, Ye Bai would suffer a huge loss.

"Thanks, Ye Bai, thank you for avenging me."

Xiao Li had been finished off, which could be considered indirectly avenging Lan Fa.

"If you want to thank me, then condense some more Beast Cards."

"The Sword Spirit Insect experiment is very important."

"Let's go, we'll explore the lake and see if we can discover some rare species."

The Red Bull Team failed to besiege Ye Bai and instead had their Tree Spirit Controller taken out by him.

This news quickly spread among the remaining three teams.

The Frost Rose and Golden Sun teams did not change much.

Yuzhe Tuan.

They searched for the places where Ye Bai had once stayed.

"The Mysterious Yin Fruit has been picked clean."

"It seems someone has been here before."

"Judging from the footprints on the ground, it's some kind of canine creature, along with huge ox hooves."

"Synthesizing the information obtained so far, it should be Ye Bai's team that arrived here and took the Mysterious Yin Fruit one step ahead."

A person wearing a round black mask laughed coldly; standing beside him were the fourth, sixth, and tenth-ranked contestants of the Phoenix Chick Cup.

"Boss Yuzhe, do you want us to take out Ye Bai in advance and get his team eliminated first?"

Yuzhe laughed coldly: "Do you know where Ye Bai is located right now?"

"His location cannot even be calculated by the Tarot cards."

"The Secret Realm is so large; if they are determined to hide, it is very difficult to find them."

"The Golden Sun and Frost Rose teams have no intention of being enemies with Ye Bai."

"The Red Bull Team wanted to take out Ye Bai first, but ended up getting a heavy slap in the face instead."

"Ye Bai is truly a difficult opponent."

"I have a premonition that the ones competing with us for the ten spots at Imperial Capital University are not the other three teams, but Ye Bai."

Yuzhe felt a slight headache.

Ye Bai possessed a treasure that could shield his aura.

"Boss Yuzhe, we can try thinking from another angle."

"Since we cannot detect Ye Bai's location, we can simply switch to predicting someone else,"

"For example, switch to that person called Yun Luo."

A contestant with a sharp-eared, monkey-cheeked appearance suggested to Yuzhe.

"It's useless, I've tried; for these three people, the Tarot cards have no reaction at all, which means we can only search using manpower."

"Forget it, let's continue collecting treasures."

"Don't worry about Ye Bai for now; in any case, their team only occupies three spots."

"It won't be too late to deal with Ye Bai after we have thoroughly settled the score with the other three teams."

"Otherwise, once the thirty days are up, we will be beyond help."

At this moment, someone in the team quietly took out a pet beast as thin as a mosquito.

"Go, Golden Cicada, find Ye Bai's location for me."

"I don't believe he has three heads and six arms."

"The spot for Imperial Capital University must fall into my hands."

Yuzhe Tuan had a total of twenty people; he was ranked in the middle and had high hopes of advancing to the finals.

Night fell, and the bright moonlight landed on the lake, draping the water surface in a mysterious and tranquil holy veil.

Under the gentle touch of the moonlight, the dark outlines of the surrounding mountains became soft and deep; they stood quietly in the darkness, surrounding the lake like stars arching over the moon.

The surface of the lake was no longer sparkling as it was during the day, but had turned into a huge dark blue mirror, reflecting the sparse stars and the bright moon in the sky.

A breeze blew by, bringing a trace of coolness and freshness, and ripples appeared on the lake one after another.

"Go, Sunflower Emperor."

The Sunflower Emperor took two sharp Butcher Knives and dived into the lake; its target was the Life Branch.

Although the Sunflower Emperor did not know what the Life Branch looked like, wood-type pet beasts could sense an incomparably vast energy from it.

As soon as the Sunflower Emperor entered the lake, the Exotic Beasts living in the lake sensed it, and the surface of the lake became like boiling water as countless black shadows emerged.

"Battle, enter battle state."

Ye Bai shouted loudly to Lan Fa and Yun Luo.

Lan Fa gripped the crystal core tightly in his left hand, and the originally crystal-clear core was turning into sand at an extremely fast speed.

The outline of a stun gun generated out of thin air, and as energy poured into the stun gun, in less than ten seconds, the stun gun suddenly took shape.

Lan Fa was seen pressing the trigger switch, and a rope shot out violently from the muzzle.

The sharp hook Zhua pierced directly through the body of a Sword-Toothed Fish, and Lan Fa quickly pressed the electric current launch switch.

The crackling electric current traveled along the rope and landed on the Sword-Toothed Fish; because water conducts electricity, the surrounding water-type Exotic Beasts were all shocked into a daze, floating to the surface of the water with their bellies up. Yun Luo held a horsetail whisk in one hand and the crystal core in the other, entering a combat state.

Facing the Sword-Toothed Fish coming directly in a high-speed Assault, Yun Luo shouted, "You are done for."

The crystal core in her hand turned to sand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, a Gale blew over, and the Sword-Toothed Fish was blown off its original target, crashing head-first into the hard-as-iron Tieshu.

A deep groove appeared on the Tieshu, the Sword-Toothed Fish's head was smashed open, and it died on the spot.

"Lan Fa's conversion between reality and illusion, and Yun Luo's word-spirit ability have both improved significantly."

"It's just that the crystal cores are not very durable; in these few short days, one-twentieth of the crystal cores brought by the Emperor of Sunflowers have already been consumed."

These two Super S-Tier talents are indeed big consumers; I must send them to the Yan Kingdom Alliance quickly.

It is better not to keep them by my side and cause trouble for myself.

Ye Bai could not help but sigh with emotion.

Wherever the Emperor of Sunflowers passed, whether it was Water Cannon Turtles or Sword-Toothed Fish, they all surfaced one after another.

A hole the size of a thumb appeared between their eyebrows; if someone were to dissect them, they would find that their brains had been completely pulverized, and even the crystal cores inside had disappeared.

The closer the Emperor of Sunflowers got to the center of the lake, the greater the obstruction it received.

The strength of the water-type Exotic Beasts was also getting stronger and stronger.

But the Emperor of Sunflowers was no pushover either.

Its strong and powerful roots pierced through the eyebrows of the water-type Exotic Beasts.

The flesh and blood essence on the water-type Exotic Beasts was sucked dry, and the crystal cores were also dug out from their heads.

Even the two Butcher Knives in the hands of the Emperor of Sunflowers were wrapped in a circle of blood-red baleful aura.

This killed the surrounding water-type Exotic Beasts until they cowered, not daring to initiate an attack at all.

At the same time, the Emperor of Sunflowers also felt a rich aura of life emanating from the bottom of the very center of the lake.

The Emperor of Sunflowers looked down and saw a giant seashell lying in the center of the lake.

The seashell was about as big as four or five millstones; it seemed to be a thousand-year-old clam.

The giant seashell slowly opened, and the Emperor of Sunflowers saw an incomparably gorgeous precious pearl, as well as a branch as white as jade.

It is it, it is it, it is indeed it.

A sharp cry erupted from the heart of the Emperor of Sunflowers.

Found it, finally found it.

The Emperor of Sunflowers was tearful at this moment.

However, when it saw the precious pearl that looked like a deep blue sapphire, it fell into an illusion.

What was in front of it was not an ordinary thousand-year-old clam; it had a name called the Mirage Dragon.

The Mirage Pearl within its body could weave all kinds of illusions.

The strength of the Mirage Dragon reached Tier 5, but it had absolutely no attack power.

It could only rely on weaving illusions to manipulate Exotic Beasts; once an Exotic Beast fell into the illusion, its mental energy would be gradually devoured by the Mirage Dragon, becoming a puppet at its beck and call.

So many water-type Exotic Beasts just now had actually already become the puppets of the Mirage Dragon.

The Emperor of Sunflowers fell into memories, its expression extremely dull, while its mind was weaving such a scene.

It returned to the scene of when it was just born; at that time, it was still an underdeveloped seedling, exposed to the scorching sun, on the verge of death.

Pedestrians passed by one after another, but not a single one reached out to help.

Its leaves became incomparably withered and yellow under the scorching sun.

At this moment, how the Emperor of Sunflowers wished that the sky could rain, allowing its thirsty body to absorb more moisture.

The Emperor of Sunflowers in the lake began to continuously absorb the water in the lake, and its body became more and more bloated.

The seashell emitted an even more blinding light; it was invading the mind of the Emperor of Sunflowers, modifying its consciousness.

The Sunflower Emperor in the illusion felt a light rain beginning to fall from the sky.

Its roots were greedily absorbing the rainwater when, at this very moment, a couple carrying an infant passed by.

"Huh? There is a withered sunflower here, how pitiful. Should we take it back to our Breeding House?"

A gentle female voice came from above.

Looking at the dying Sunflower Emperor, the woman felt a sense of compassion.

"Alright, my dear, you are truly too kind."

After the Sunflower Emperor woke up, it became a member of the Breeding House.

That Breeding House was called Fangyuan Breeding House.

It cherished every single minute and second it spent in the Breeding House.

But that brat named Ye Bai was a bully.

He would pull off its leaves and pluck its petals at the slightest provocation.

This brat was truly annoying, but that couple was truly kind.

The Sunflower Emperor wavered between leaving and staying, but in the end, the Sunflower Emperor made up its mind to remain in the Breeding House.

This would be to repay their kindness.

One day, the couple suddenly went missing, and the boy tried many methods but could not find the whereabouts of his parents.

Consequently, the boy blamed all of this on the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor must be a jinx, it must be.

The boy picked up a stick and smashed it against its body, blow after blow.

"It's all your fault, you jinx! If it weren't for taking you in, my parents wouldn't have disappeared because of it. It's all your fault, you jinx!"

The Sunflower Emperor's rage was stirred up, and when its rage rose to its peak, it suddenly snapped back to reality.

Because its subconscious was telling itself that this memory was wrong.

No, this is fake.

Because Ye Bai never had the heart to hit or scold it; he always showed it his most innocent smile.

It was just that after Ye Bai's parents went missing, he rarely smiled anymore.

It and Ye Bai relied on each other for survival; during the most difficult times, Ye Bai sold most of the goods in the Breeding House just to pay for its medical treatment.

For this, Ye Bai did not hesitate to eat nothing but steamed buns for three months, just to keep it alive.

Ye Bai would absolutely never hit or scold it!

Ye Bai would absolutely never have the heart to let it die!

You are not Ye Bai, where is Ye Bai? A sharp blade pierced through the boy before it, and the Sunflower Emperor instinctively thrust forward fiercely.

A shrill roar echoed in the Sunflower Emperor's mind.

Only a crisp "Crack! Crack!" sound was heard, and the entire illusion shattered like glass, revealing the shell's expression of utter horror.

Two sharp blades had pierced straight into the shell's body and were draining its flesh and blood.

It had been able to control this Tier 4 Pet Beast just a moment ago, but it never expected that the Pet Beast's mental fluctuations would suddenly become abnormal.

The Sunflower Emperor had directly broken the control of the Mirage Pearl and simultaneously raised the Butcher Knife to stab at it.

Just as it wanted to tightly close its shell to avoid the attack, the Sunflower Emperor's two sharp blades plunged deep into its body.

A piercing pain surged from within its body; it was this excruciating pain that the Mirage Dragon found unbearable.

It had lived in this Secret Realm for so many years and had never been injured so miserably.

The hand is gradually becoming less swollen; tomorrow I should be able to stop using the one-finger technique.
