Chapter 260: New Research Topics

【5. A Beast Tide is about to erupt in the Northern Extreme Cold Ice Plain. Due to a shortage of healers and researchers, Imperial Capital University will dispatch freshmen this year to participate in the battle.】

Ye Bai looked at the latest intelligence.

It seems that one wave has not yet subsided when another rises; demons are constantly trying to enter this world.

However, since there are demons, what about angels?

Why have there never been any legends of angels? This is not scientific.

Ye Bai returned to the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

At this time, Zhang Lingxue had already organized all the data.

She had already submitted several Sword Butterflies to the higher-ups for research.

"Ye Bai, an emergency mobilization order has come from your grand-teacher, requiring us to enter the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm."

"To assist her in researching the Five Elements Butterfly."

Zhang Lingxue was about to see her teacher, and she appeared particularly happy.

"Teacher, don't be happy too soon."

"The Five Elements Butterfly is not that easy to evolve."

Ye Bai handed the footage captured by his mobile phone to Zhang Lingxue.

After Zhang Lingxue saw these images, her eyes widened immediately.

"You, you, you."

Her breathing was a bit rapid, and she appeared somewhat agitated.

"That's right, due to some circumstances, I don't know why I entered the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm."

"There, I encountered a demon that had just escaped from a seal."

Ye Bai had a silver tongue; he told Zhang Lingxue about the thrilling and exciting scene.

"So, you mean that the Baibian Can evolving into a Five Elements Butterfly is something that is fundamentally impossible to achieve?"

Zhang Lingxue obtained the answer through the video Ye Bai filmed.

"I can only say it's very difficult."

"And that was not a Baibian Can, but a much more precious Thousand-Change Silkworm."

"Teacher, you should understand."

Zhang Lingxue was very familiar with Ye Bai and knew many of Ye Bai's secrets.

"In other words, it is the Thousand-Change Silkworm that evolves into the Five Elements Butterfly?"

"Then can your Ten Thousand-Change Silkworm also evolve into a Five Elements Butterfly?"

Zhang Lingxue lowered her voice and said.

"It certainly can, but it requires consuming a massive amount of resources."

"Moreover, the Clone of the Ten Thousand-Change Silkworm has already evolved into a Five Elements Holy Butterfly."

"Teacher, I suggest you send this video to Grand-teacher. Even if we go to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, we won't stay long; that Secret Realm will definitely be taken over by the Military Department."

"The Demon Seal is no joke. Under circumstances where no one has investigated it clearly, no one dares to take this risk."

"This Secret Realm will likely have to be sealed temporarily; only after the risks and hidden dangers are truly resolved will this Secret Realm possibly reopen."

Ye Bai had already anticipated the reaction of the higher-ups.

"That is for the best."

"I will send the video to Teacher through an encrypted channel."

"Ye Bai, I have several research topics here; I would like you to help me advise on them."

"Ever since the Sword Butterfly was successfully bred, the cases given to me for research have all been relatively complex."

"They all require a great deal of energy to resolve."

Zhang Lingxue took a thick stack of documents out of her Pet Beast Space.

"The higher-ups also intend to add to my burden, and I hope you can research them with me."

Ye Bai did not immediately agree to Zhang Lingxue; he took the materials and flipped through them.

"Research on the Birth of the Six-Winged Black Mosquito"

"Cultivation of the Six-Winged Golden Cicada"

"Research on the Evolution of the Frost Tiger"

There were over a dozen of these research documents in total.

For Ye Bai, he finished reading them in a moment.

"How come most of these are research on Insect Type Exotic Beasts?"

Ye Bai frowned.

"It might be because I successfully researched the Baibian Can and the Sword Butterfly."

"The leaders above feel that I have a greater affinity with Insect Type Exotic Beasts."

Zhang Lingxue was also somewhat between laughter and tears.

"Speaking of Insect Type Exotic Beasts."

"I have a Two-Winged Black Centipede here; do you want it?"

Ye Bai clapped his hands, and the Sunflower Emperor poured out a Two-Winged Black Centipede covered in cumin and chili powder from its petals.

This smell reminded one of Colonel Ken's fried chicken.

Zhang Lingxue casually picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewing it vigorously.

"This tastes really good. By the way, Ye Bai, where is the Two-Winged Black Centipede you mentioned?"

"This can be considered a very rare research material."

"I can't wait to start the research."

Ye Bai shrugged his shoulders: "This Two-Winged Black Centipede is delicious, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxue choked, her throat almost seizing up.

"You've got to be kidding, this thing is a Two-Winged Black Centipede?"

"You wasteful brat, such a rare Two-Winged Black Centipede, and you actually cooked and ate it!"

"Aren't you afraid that if the Pet Beast Association's environmentalists find out, they'll come looking for trouble?"

Ye Bai smiled: "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know."

"If you don't say anything, who would know this is a Two-Winged Black Centipede?"

"Besides, I actually discovered the eggs of the Two-Winged Black Centipede."

Ye Bai clapped his hands. The Sunflower Emperor poured out eggs, each the size of a chicken egg, from its petals.

"That's more like it. This fried Two-Winged Black Centipede is really fragrant; are there any more?"

Zhang Lingxue hadn't eaten the delicious food Ye Bai made for a long time, and she was feeling quite nostalgic at this moment.

"There's plenty more; I'll share some with Grandmaster later."

"Just say it's dried chicken meat."

"I will be establishing my own Breeding House during this period."

"I still need to continue delving into the field of pet beast research."

"I also have an Anbao Hall that I need to inherit. Teacher, if you have any resources on your end, please introduce some to me."

"The more you cultivate these pet beasts, the more resources they consume."

"I feel like I'm about to be unable to make ends meet."

Zhang Lingxue pondered for a moment: "Now that you mention it, I actually do."

"I have a close friend who was hit by a curse and has become something neither human nor ghost."

Wait, it seems the Dragon Pillar also said something like this.

Could it be that the scope of this curse is very large? Or should I go see the Dragon Pillar first before making a decision?

Just at this moment, space fractured, and the Paper Puppet appeared.

She looked at Ye Bai with an anxious expression.

"Ye Bai, hurry and come with me."

"That Thunder White Tiger seems to be about to give birth."

"Jiang Dashi wants you to hurry over."

"He has never delivered a baby before."

Ye Bai said a word to Zhang Lingxue and then followed the Paper Puppet into the spatial passage.

"Paper Puppet, didn't you say the due date was still two months away?"

"Why did it go into labor so suddenly?"

Ye Bai felt very curious.

"Jiang Dashi miscalculated; this Thunder White Tiger is carrying more than one."

"It is actually carrying two, which means this Thunder White Tiger is having a premature birth."

The Paper Puppet told Ye Bai everything that had happened in just a few words.

"Alright, let's hurry over."

Just as he entered Anbao Hall, Ye Bai heard cries of extreme misery.

Jiang Dashi was pacing on the ground like an ant on a hot pan.

His hair had already been electrocuted into charcoal by the electricity released by the Thunder White Tiger.

Jiang Dashi's face was dark and gloomy, filled with worry.

Only after hearing footsteps did Jiang Dashi lift his head.

"Ye Bai, you're here. Hurry and help me check the condition of the Thunder White Tiger."

Jiang Dashi spoke to Ye Bai as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He was truly not skilled at delivering babies, and facing the Thunder White Tiger, he couldn't even use his Surgical Knife.

The violent electric current on the Thunder White Tiger reached as high as a Baiwann Fute, enough to completely erase a Tier 6 Exotic Beast from the world.

"The most troublesome thing now is how to get close to the Thunder White Tiger."

"This violent current makes it impossible for us to get close, let alone perform surgery on the Thunder White Tiger."

"If the Thunder White Tiger were still conscious, we could have let it cooperate with us."

"But now the Thunder White Tiger has lost its reason from the pain; it's hard to make it cooperate with us."

This was the first time Jiang Dashi had encountered such a thorny situation.

If it were an ordinary thunder-type Exotic Beast, Jiang Dashi would have suppressed it on the spot.

But this Thunder White Tiger had a strength of at least Tier 8 or above; he couldn't even get close to it.

"It's alright, leave it to me."

"I gained quite a lot from participating in the assessment this time."

"Come out, Dahui."

Ye Bai summoned Dahui out.

"Dahui, use the Thunder God Axe to help me absorb the current leaking from the Thunder White Tiger."

The current leaking from the Thunder White Tiger was already as high as over a million volts.

These currents could help the Thunder God Axe repair the Thunder Eye within its body.

"Sun Flower Emperor, use Sleep Aroma to help the Thunder White Tiger enter a state of sleep."

Ye Bai continued to issue commands.

At this moment, Dahui had already raised the Thunder Axe and was approaching the Thunder White Tiger with long, swift strides.

The terrifying electric current seemed to have found a place to vent.

It fell from the sky one after another, coiling around the Thunder God Axe.

This violent electric current was absorbed by the Thunder God Eye, and the gash on its eye was slowly repairing itself.

"Roar."

Dahui forcibly braced the Thunder God Axe and looked at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai immediately understood Dahui's meaning; they had to finish the battle quickly, as it could not hold on for much longer.

The Thunder White Tiger was like a mountain, massive in size.

In front of the Thunder White Tiger, Ye Bai was like a tiny ant.

At this moment, Ye Bai discovered that the Thunder White Tiger had suddenly opened its eyes.

It endured the pain, and a look of pleading appeared in its eyes.

"It will be over soon, Thunder White Tiger."

"I need to make a cut on your belly to take the Pet Beast Egg out of your body."

"Please trust me, I have very rich experience in delivering offspring."

Ye Bai used all his strength to shout at the Thunder White Tiger.

The Thunder White Tiger seemed to understand Ye Bai's meaning.

It laboriously shifted its body, exposing its snow-white belly.

"It will be over soon, Thunder White Tiger."

Ye Bai summoned the True Dragon Spirit and whispered a few words to it.

The True Dragon Spirit floated in the air, nodding repeatedly.

Its body then transformed into an ancient bronze sword.

The ancient sword grew as it met the wind, and its tip slashed heavily toward the Thunder White Tiger.

A large amount of Mars appeared on its blade, but the Thunder White Tiger's fur was as hard as rock and did not move at all.

This immediately made Ye Bai's heart skip a beat.

"Oh no, the Thunder White Tiger's defense is too strong; even the True Dragon Spirit cannot break through the Thunder White Tiger's defense."

"Does it really have to let the Thunder White Tiger expel the Pet Beast Egg through the birth canal?"

Ye Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.

That would take even longer, and Ye Bai felt he could not hold on.
