Chapter 256: Evolution Test

"By the way, Dashan, did you leave a way to contact Ye Bai?"

"Ye Bai should still be in the Secret Realm right now."

Su Qingxian asked suddenly.

Zhang Dashan wore a pained expression.

"I'm really not sure about that."

"After all, the Communication Bead I left him can only be used for one-way contact; only if he contacts me can the Communication Bead in my hand be activated."

"I was also afraid of being monitored by people from the Monitoring Group."

Zhang Dashan said honestly.

"Then never mind."

"Xiao Xue still has research to do, so I won't trouble her."

"Right now, the most important thing for you is to find the Demon Seal."

"In any case, the Five-Element Butterfly hatchlings have already been born; if the situation goes wrong, I will take the people from the Research Institute and evacuate from here."

Su Qingxian would never let her team be put at risk.

"I understand."

"I will increase my search efforts."

Zhang Dashan felt the burden on his shoulders was very, very heavy.

This was not just worry for his beloved, but also a kind of responsibility.

Demons are not easy to get along with; they spend their entire lives dedicated to invading Blue Star and stirring up a frenzy of slaughter on Blue Star.

They can be called the common enemy of all mankind.

However, restricted by the shielding of the Crystal Wall, the demons' true forms cannot descend from Hell to Blue Star.

They usually descend to this plane through projection.

For demons, Blue Star is a huge piece of fat meat, so they will spare no cost to enter here.

Human Souls are the best supplements for demons; with enough Souls, demons can advance rapidly.

Once demons discover a shortcut into Blue Star, the demon army will pour in here endlessly.

So now, Zhang Dashan must confirm whether the other end of the seal is truly connected to Hell.

Or if it is connected to a small Hell plane.

If it only connects to a small plane, the highest level of the demons inside will not exceed the Ninth Rank.

For Zhang Dashan, this is temporarily acceptable.

"I will hurry up and find the location of the seal."

"Qingxian, you can rest assured."

At this moment, Ye Bai had already followed the Thousand-Change Silkworm into Butterfly Valley.

Here, Ye Bai saw countless butterflies dancing in the air.

However, Ye Bai was suddenly stunned as he watched the Thousand-Change Silkworm hopping around the outskirts of the valley.

He himself had possessed a Thousand-Change Silkworm, so he could naturally distinguish clearly between a Baibian Can and a Thousand-Change Silkworm.

"These five-attribute butterflies are transformed from Thousand-Change Silkworms?"

"Does that mean the Thousand-Change Silkworm can use Mimicry?"

If it can use Mimicry, wouldn't the Thousand-Change Silkworm's Clone be able to evolve into a Five-Element Sacred Butterfly after obtaining Emperor Flowing Liquid?

At this moment, a giant butterfly suddenly flew over from a distance.

Water flow runes appeared on this butterfly's wings, and the moment it appeared, a dark, gloomy cloud appeared in the sky.

It radiated blue light, and wherever it passed, raindrops fell from the sky, pockmarking the entire ground.

【Name: Heavy Water Butterfly】

【Gender: Male】

【Trait: Heavy Rain: When the Heavy Water Butterfly appears, heavy water will fall from the sky.】

【Level: Fifth Rank Peak】

【Mastered Skills: Heavy Water (Proficient): Use heavy water to attack enemies; heavy water has corrosive properties, and once it hits an enemy, it will corrode the enemy's body like a bone-attached gangrene.

Water Flow Manipulation (Proficient): Manipulate water flow to surround the opponent, causing the opponent to suffocate to death.

Rainstorm (Proficient): Summon a terrifying rainstorm to attack the opponent; once hit by the rainstorm, there is a certain probability of falling into a cowering state.

Water Arrow (Proficient): Spit a sharp arrow condensed from heavy water from its mouth to attack the opponent.

Water Transformation (Entry): Transform itself into heavy water, immune to physical attacks.】

【Evolution Route 1: None!】

【Rating: Guardian of the Five-Element Butterfly; only by passing the test can one enter the Butterfly Sacred Valley. Defeating the Heavy Water Butterfly will yield a Heavy Water Crystal Core. Once you step into Butterfly Valley, the evolution test will begin.】

"Heavy Water Butterfly?"

"Evolution test?"

"Evolve into a Five-Element Butterfly?"

"No wonder there are so many Thousand-Change Silkworms gathered on the outskirts of the valley, yet not a single one dares to enter here."

"So it turns out the test begins once you enter here?"

Ye Bai felt once again that he could not open his Pet Beast Space; now he could only watch from afar as the Thousand-Change Silkworm tangled with the Heavy Water Butterfly.

Wait, what if the Thousand-Change Silkworm evolves into a Five-Element Butterfly after passing the test?

In terms of potential, the Thousand-Change Butterfly's potential is definitely superior.

According to Ye Bai's guess, the Thousand-Change Butterfly can mimic a Five-Element Butterfly, while a Five-Element Butterfly cannot become a Thousand-Change Butterfly.

Whether it is a single tree or an entire forest, Ye Bai still understands the need for trade-offs.

"I hope that in the end, the Myriad-Changing Silkworm can keep its original intention and evolve into a Myriad-Changing Butterfly."

Ye Bai had analyzed the two evolutionary paths with the Myriad-Changing Silkworm long ago.

I hope this blockhead of a Myriad-Changing Silkworm can remember that.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm transformed into a Thunder Light Butterfly, facing the Heavy Water Butterfly from across the air.

It could feel a murderous aura emerging from the Heavy Water Butterfly's body.

This guy wants to kill me. The Myriad-Changing Silkworm couldn't quite understand it; clearly, this was only the first time they had met.

Why does this guy want to put me to death?

The Heavy Water Butterfly flapped its wings, and the surrounding heavy water gathered to one side, condensing into sharp Water Arrows.

These black Water Arrows lined up in a row.

Under the summons of the Heavy Water Butterfly, they shot out toward the direction where the Myriad-Changing Silkworm was located.

After the Myriad-Changing Silkworm turned into a Thunder Light Butterfly, its speed increased sharply.

It flapped its wings and flew toward the distance.

The Water Arrows exploded in the air one after another, but they could never hit the Myriad-Changing Silkworm.

On the contrary, two massive Thunder Balls condensed on the wings of the Myriad-Changing Silkworm.

Seeing this, the Heavy Water Butterfly was unhurried.

It manipulated the water flow to surround itself.

The incoming Thunder Balls exploded with a boom.

A large amount of electric arcs shot out, but the Heavy Water Butterfly still flapped its wings unhurriedly.

The electric current spread across the Heavy Water Butterfly's body, but Ye Bai did not see the Heavy Water Butterfly show any expression of pain.

Only to see the Heavy Water Butterfly flap its wings violently, and the electric light suddenly dissipated.

Ye Bai suddenly thought of something.

Through the contract, he said to the Myriad-Changing Silkworm: "Myriad-Changing Silkworm, use Silk Spit, pierce the Heavy Water Butterfly's body, and then use Thunder Light."

After the Myriad-Changing Silkworm heard Ye Bai's command, it spat out silvery-white insect silk from its mouth.

These insect silks were as hard as iron, and because the Myriad-Changing Silkworm was not far from the Heavy Water Butterfly, the insect silk pierced the Heavy Water Butterfly's body very easily.

The Heavy Water Butterfly still had a dismissive expression.

Ye Bai noticed that not a single drop of blood flowed out from the place where the Heavy Water Butterfly's body was pierced by the insect silk.

He knew that the Heavy Water Butterfly had already used Water Transformation to turn its body into liquid.

Just as the insect silk was about to slide off the Heavy Water Butterfly's body, countless Thunder Lights followed the insect silk and submerged into the Heavy Water Butterfly's body.

The Heavy Water Butterfly's eyes widened, and it revealed an expression of disbelief.

It could feel the wild thunder raging in its body, and its body would soon be torn to pieces by the violent thunder and lightning.

The Heavy Water Butterfly looked at the Myriad-Changing Silkworm unwillingly, and its body burst apart.

The dark clouds that were originally entwined in the air also disappeared without a trace the moment the Heavy Water Butterfly vanished.

A blue crystal core appeared in mid-air and turned into an arrow leaving the string, rushing toward the Myriad-Changing Silkworm.

"Myriad-Changing Silkworm, split out a new Clone."

Ye Bai knew that after the Myriad-Changing Silkworm advanced to the fifth rank, it had not split out any new Clones.

If it split out a new Clone now, it would definitely be a Clone in the shape of the Myriad-Changing Silkworm.

At the most critical moment, the Myriad-Changing Silkworm split out a Myriad-Changing Silkworm Clone.

It used the Clone as a shield, blocking it in front of itself.

The blue crystal core swooshed into the white and chubby Clone, and Ye Bai discovered that this Clone suddenly had an extra blue halo.

"Could it be that one must collect five halos to evolve into a Five Elements Butterfly?"

"This method of evolution is too harsh."

Ye Bai scratched his hair.

"Myriad-Changing Silkworm, it's fortunate that I reminded you; if that crystal core had entered your body, you might have evolved into a Five Elements Butterfly."

"It would be too late for regrets when the time came."

Ye Bai said to the Myriad-Changing Silkworm with a serious face.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm naturally knew the difference between evolving into a Five Elements Butterfly and a Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

It also revealed an expression of "that was close."

"Let's continue."

"Hurry to the Butterfly Sacred Valley."

"We must determine the status of that seal."

The reason Ye Bai was so anxious was that the Emperor's Flowing Plasma would fall in one day.

He was afraid of variables appearing.

If the Myriad-Changing Silkworm's Clone were to evolve into a Five Elements Butterfly before the Emperor's Flowing Plasma fell.

Then as soon as the Emperor's Flowing Plasma fell, the Five Elements Butterfly would evolve into a Five Elements Sacred Butterfly.

The Five Elements Sacred Butterfly is the Emperor of all Five Elements Butterflies; once the Myriad-Changing Silkworm's Clone evolves into a Five Elements Sacred Butterfly, it is equivalent to this Secret Realm being in Ye Bai's hands.

Ye Bai would mobilize all butterfly-shaped Exotic Beasts to excavate the special crystal stones of the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

In the time that followed.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm arduously defeated the Li Fire Butterfly, Geng Metal Butterfly, Xun Wood Butterfly, and Huitu Butterfly, obtaining enough crystal cores from their bodies.

After its Clone collected the crystal cores, five halos appeared: red, yellow, blue, green, and cyan.

At this moment, the Thousand-Change Silkworm finally revealed the true face of the Butterfly Sacred Valley.

This place was covered everywhere with crystals of five attributes.

Many Five-Element Butterflies floated in the air, motionless, their bodies radiating halos of five attributes.

A colorful Thousand-Change Silkworm was currently on an altar, undergoing its final transformation with the help of its kin.

"That Thousand-Change Silkworm must be the Five-Element Butterfly larva that possesses the origin of five attributes."

"I wonder how much worse it will be compared to my Thousand-Change Silkworm."

"Thousand-Change Silkworm, there is still an empty spot next to that Thousand-Change Silkworm."

"Send your Clone over to complete the final evolution."

"Evolve into a Five-Element Butterfly."

The numerous Five-Element Butterflies watched helplessly as a Thousand-Change Silkworm, its body covered in five-colored halos, hopped over to the other side of the altar.

They hesitated for a moment; this Thousand-Change Silkworm also possessed the origin of five attributes, so how should they choose? (End of chapter)
