Chapter 248: Ye Bai is My Lucky Star!
"We must leave here quickly, otherwise both I and the Sunflower Emperor could become one of the members of this place."
Just as the Mandrake Emperor wanted to slip away, it was forcibly kept behind by the Sunflower Emperor using Plant Enslavement.
"Mandrake Emperor, in fact, we need to pass through the Jianmu to head to another Secret Realm; do you have any good ideas?"
"As long as you come up with a good idea for me, once we find that passage, I will let you leave here."
Ye Bai's words caused the Mandrake Emperor to fall into deep thought, and it looked at the knowledge it had inherited.
"As long as you maintain your original intention and are not assimilated by the aura of the Jianmu, it will be fine."
"The Jianmu is an Exotic Beast of the space/wood attribute; it possesses many spaces within its body."
"Some spaces may be rich in treasures."
"If you can find the Wood-Drilling Ant, you might be able to take this opportunity to enter the body of the Jianmu."
"Every trunk of the Jianmu has a spatial passage; as for where they lead, I do not know."
"I wonder if the information I have provided satisfies you?"
"Can I leave now?"
The Mandrake Emperor already had the intention to leave this place; it felt that staying in this Secret Realm for even a moment longer meant one more layer of danger.
"You may, but you must follow us for the time being; only after we have found the other Secret Realm will I let you go."
The Mandrake Emperor possessed its own inheritance, so it could know some hidden information that might come in handy at a critical moment.
"Storm Tooth Wolf, let's go."
"Charge forward quickly!"
The Sunflower Emperor, binding the Mandrake Emperor, lunged toward the distance.
A hysterical wail erupted from its mouth.
At this moment, the trees around the Jianmu all moved.
They transformed into countless Exotic Beasts.
There were Oak Giants three meters tall.
There were Vine Snakes that looked like vines.
There were Man-Eating Flowers covered in man-eating blossoms.
These Exotic Beasts all looked at Ye Bai and the Storm Tooth Wolf with greedy gazes.
Their eyes emitted a green light, as if they wanted to assimilate Ye Bai into a part of their bodies.
"Storm Tooth Wolf, use Wind Blade."
"Clear a path for me."
Ye Bai shouted loudly at the Storm Tooth Wolf.
Blades of wind gathered around the Storm Tooth Wolf.
The massive Wind Blades shot out like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.
Wherever they passed, whether it was an Oak Giant, a Vine Snake, or a Man-Eating Flower, they were all cut in half at the waist.
However, the bodies of these Exotic Beasts twisted, and green mucus appeared on the severed parts.
Their bodies then fused back together.
"Run, run, don't attack these Exotic Beasts, you will provoke attacks from even more wood-type Exotic Beasts."
The Mandrake Emperor shouted loudly.
It screamed hysterically.
Only the Mandrake Emperor knew just how troublesome these wood-type Exotic Beasts were.
They had already connected with the Jianmu to become one, becoming immortal existences; as long as the life essence of the Jianmu remained, even if they were cut into countless fragments, they would quickly recover.
"The place where Wood-Drilling Ants are located will have an area that looks like it has been scorched by fire, because the urine of the Wood-Drilling Ants has extremely strong corrosive properties."
"Search for places where Wood-Drilling Ants might appear according to this standard."
The Mandrake Emperor said to Ye Bai while shouting loudly.
With so many wood-type Exotic Beasts swarming over just now, its heart had been hanging in its throat.
The sharp-eyed Ye Bai saw a scorched patch from afar, and he hurriedly pointed at that area and shouted to the Storm Tooth Wolf: "Quick, let's go to that side, Storm Tooth Wolf, speed up."
The Storm Tooth Wolf gradually increased its speed, turning into a streak of light, with the legion of wood-type Exotic Beasts like a tsunami behind it.
If it didn't run fast enough, it estimated it would be surrounded by the Exotic Beast legion.
The Storm Tooth Wolf wished it could grow a few more legs.
It used every ounce of its strength.
The Storm Tooth Wolf charged straight over.
Only a few 'Crack! Crack!' sounds were heard.
The ground where the Storm Tooth Wolf stood collapsed instantly.
A large amount of dust rose from the ground.
"It seems my judgment was correct; this is indeed the place where the Wood-Drilling Ants are."
The tree bark here had been hollowed out by the Wood-Drilling Ants.
The Storm Tooth Wolf fell downward with a face full of terror.
It knew that the one who would get hurt would definitely be itself.
At this time, the Storm Tooth Wolf stopped struggling and let itself fall downward.
If it had a cigarette right now, the Storm Tooth Wolf reckoned it would smoke one, then quietly wait for its descent.
"Storm Tooth Wolf."
"When you are about to hit the ground, use Wind Blade against the ground."
Ye Bai suddenly issued an order.
Upon hearing the order, the Storm Tooth Wolf spat out a series of Wind Blades from its mouth.
These sickle-like Wind Blades struck the wooden patterns, emitting a large amount of white smoke.
The Storm Tooth Wolf landed steadily on the ground.
Thank heaven, thank earth, for letting me land safely.
The Storm Tooth Wolf felt extremely lucky at this moment.
"Phew, alright, Storm Tooth Wolf, you return to the Beast Card for now." Since he had already entered inside the Jianmu, Ye Bai was no longer worried about his identity being exposed.
"Come out, Nether Wolf."
The Nether Wolf, its entire body burning with Black Flame, emerged from the spatial ripples.
It stuck out its red tongue and licked Ye Bai's face.
"Haha, Nether Wolf, this mission will be very dangerous."
"This time I must rely on you."
Rustling sounds came from all around.
Ye Bai looked up and saw that they were Vine Snakes formed from vines, quietly surrounding them.
"Nether Wolf, use Hellfire."
Ye Bai flipped over and sat on the Nether Wolf's back.
The Nether Wolf opened its mouth and spat out black Hellfire.
After the Vine Snakes were tainted by the Hellfire, they wailed a few times and burned into ashes.
Streams of black smoke surged into the Nether Wolf's nostrils.
These black smokes contained the life essence of the Vine Snakes, and the Jianmu consciousness within them had already been burned away by the Hellfire.
The Sunflower Emperor also split into many Clones, their Genjing Chansheng wrapped around the Vine Snakes, and they began to rapidly absorb the Vine Snakes' energy.
"Good, Nether Wolf, don't get bogged down in the fight; the most important thing for us now is to find the entrance to the other Secret Realm."
Ye Bai patted the Nether Wolf's head, and the Nether Wolf immediately turned into an arrow released from a bow, pouncing toward the distance.
Wherever it passed, the Black Flame spread out.
The Vine Snakes had already been blocked by the Black Flame.
Their eyes were filled with terror; even though they were driven by the Jianmu, they were naturally afraid of fire and had actually broken free from the Jianmu's control.
If the Jianmu could speak, it would probably Roar at this moment.
Ye Bai sat on the Nether Wolf and fled.
Everything used to block the Nether Wolf along the way was just a rabble.
Simple Hellfire was enough to burn them into ashes.
Perhaps it felt that it had been feeding the Nether Wolf all along.
So in the end, the Jianmu just let the Nether Wolf do as it pleased.
"Good fellow, you've made the Nether Wolf burn the Jianmu so much that it doesn't even dare to show its head."
The Mandrake Emperor clicked its tongue.
"The Nether Wolf's Hellfire has a great restraint on the Jianmu."
"Moreover, the real Jianmu has already died; this is just the residual instinctive consciousness of the Jianmu."
"Just like animals, they all know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"If you are strong, they will inevitably be weak."
"Let's go, Little Charcoal Dog, we must head to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm as soon as possible."
"Sunflower Emperor, if you encounter the life essence of the Jianmu, just devour it."
"Do not fear being possessed by the Jianmu; as long as your willpower is strong enough, it will be fine."
This is a rare opportunity; the life essence within the Jianmu is most suitable for a wood-type Pet Beast like the Sunflower Emperor.
As long as the consciousness within it can be removed, the Sunflower Emperor can effortlessly convert it into its own wood-type origin.
Dudu Daxue Shiyanshi.
The Sword Spirit Insects stored in the Secret Realm finally successfully transformed into Sword Butterflies under the infusion of massive resources.
They flapped their wings and danced gracefully in the air.
There were even many male Sword Butterflies dancing courtship dances in mid-air.
"Phew, finally taken the last step."
"As long as the Sword Butterflies pair up and lay Sword Butterfly Eggs, I will have already succeeded more than halfway."
Sword Butterflies are butterfly-type Exotic Beasts, and Zhang Lingxue's talent is fully capable of contracting these Sword Butterflies as her own Pet Beasts.
"Another research topic is whether the Sword Butterflies can produce continuously, besides laying many at once."
"If they can continue to produce, this will definitely change humanity's understanding of Sword Butterflies."
In the Secret Realm, there were more rows of black, shiny Tieshu.
To keep these Tieshu alive, she had spent a fortune, but it was all worth it.
She had now reached the most critical moment.
There must not be any mistakes.
"Phew, I wonder if Ye Bai will be in danger going to the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm to supervise."
"Should I tell my grandfather about Master being suppressed this time?"
In a great mood, Zhang Lingxue then felt that her bottleneck was about to break through.
The Poison Dragon Butterfly would soon become a seventh-rank Pet Beast.
When that time comes, she will become the Heart Moon Fox, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
The previous Heart Moon Fox perished due to an accident during a Beast Tide.
The position of Heart Moon Fox fell into the hands of a few people, including Zhang Lingxue.
They have all become reserve candidates; once someone is the first to break through and become a Tier 7 Beast Tamer, that person will become the Heart Moon Fox.
The reason Liang Zhuren suppresses him is also because he was entrusted by others who do not want him to become the Heart Moon Fox.
Once one becomes one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, they will possess numerous exemptions.
By that time, Liang Zhuren will no longer be able to pull so many petty tricks and can only watch helplessly as his master becomes the deputy director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute.
"Ye Bai is truly my lucky star."
"The reason I was able to become a Tier 7 Beast Tamer so quickly is also thanks to Ye Bai."
"If it weren't for him helping to slay the Poison Flood Dragon and mastering a treasure like the Blood Pool, how could my Xiao Zi have transformed into a Poison Dragon Butterfly?"
