Chapter 268: The Gu-Human Baichong

Ye Bai flipped through them, and in the end, he requested one thousand eggs each of the Great Strength Capricorn Beetle and the Lightning Beetle that he had taken a fancy to.

These two types of Insect Type Exotic Beasts have decent strength, but their shortcomings are also very obvious.

The Great Strength Capricorn Beetle has great strength, but its speed is very slow, making it easy for fast Exotic Beasts to finish it off.

The Lightning Beetle is just like an explosive rock; it burns itself to illuminate its surroundings.

Therefore, Ye Bai decided to take advantage of this time while cultivating the Great Strength Ants to conduct experiments on the Great Strength Capricorn Beetle and the Lightning Beetle as well.

After he finished paying, he walked toward the distance.

Ye Bai also planned to pull off a reversal of hunter and prey; he had a way to take down the person who was tracking him.

As for that tiny insect on his body.

Wisps of flame emerged from Ye Bai's body, burning most of the insects to ashes.

He left only a few insects behind to guide his current path.

"Strange, how did my Tracking Gu suddenly get wiped out by more than half?"

The shopkeeper laughed coldly.

"Was this discovered by someone?"

"Haha, but my Tracking Gu has another very special ability, which is that it can reproduce infinitely; as long as one Zhuizong Zigul is alive, it can achieve infinite reproduction."

"Kid, you cannot escape my tracking."

"Once I snatch your Exotic Beast, I will chop off both of your hands to feed the dogs."

The shopkeeper bit his own finger, the veins under the back of his hand bulging, and a large insect the size of a thumb crawled out from under his skin.

One could see that this insect had a large mouth, filled with sharp fangs inside.

This insect was white and plump like a silkworm; it opened its sharp teeth and bit down hard on the finger dripping with blood.

Its body instantly swelled up.

Its body grew several times larger in an instant, and its originally jade-white skin also began to emit a blood-red glow.

Before long, it solidified into a cocoon, and after hearing a few 'Crack! Crack!' sounds, the insect completely broke out, turning into a blood-red insect flying in the air.

Its wings were blood-red, and its eyes were large, like obsidian.

The insect flapped its wings and flew in the air, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.

"Tracking Mother Gu, help me check the whereabouts of the Zigul."

The shopkeeper said sternly.

The Tracking Mother Gu turned directly into a streak of red light and flew toward the distance.

"Come out, Centipede, catch up to the Tracking Mother Gu."

The shopkeeper said coldly.

This centipede, which was three meters long, had a red head, like a fine ruby.

Its torso was black, emitting a luster like obsidian.

This type of Exotic Beast is not very strong, but it excels in speed and is generally used by people as a mount.

The short shopkeeper sat on the head of the centipede and charged toward the position where the Tracking Gu had disappeared.

The Tracking Mother Gu secretes a pungent odor in the air; only a trained Gu-raiser can possibly see the trail of this Tracking Mother Gu.

On the outskirts of the Tianyun Yishou Shichang, there is an island in the middle of the river covered in reeds.

This river island is located in a turbulent current, the reeds are three meters high, and the surroundings are desolate, making it even better for Ye Bai to set an ambush.

Ye Bai arrived at the river island early, waiting for the shopkeeper's arrival.

At this moment, a black shadow rushed over like an arrow released from a bow; a long, narrow ripple appeared on the river and spread toward the surroundings.

"It's here, it's finally here; I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Cold light radiated from Ye Bai's eyes.

He would capture this person and hand him over to his Senior Uncle Jiaomu Jiao Zhang Jian for interrogation to reveal more secrets.

"Go, Myriad Change Silkworm."

The Myriad Change Silkworm manipulated the Five Elements Butterfly Clone to quietly meet it.

As soon as the centipede stepped into the outskirts of the river island, its body suddenly fell apart, instantly staining the entire river surface red.

This was a tearing wound caused by the Five Elements Butterfly's skill, Gale Wind.

The short shopkeeper had already jumped into the reeds of the river island the moment the centipede fell apart.

His whole body was covered in grass clippings, and he looked very disheveled.

"Damn it, it seems you had already discovered it."

"Hmph, but it doesn't matter; the centipede was just the lowest-level Exotic Beast I cultivated."

"I am a member of the Death God Society, and my codename is Baichong."

"Haha, just obediently become feed for my treasures."

Ye Bai saw that the shopkeeper's abdomen was wriggling.

He is a Gu-human, with countless insect eggs hidden in his body; as long as he has a thought, these insect eggs can hatch rapidly.

Suddenly, an insect egg was spat out from the shopkeeper's mouth, landing on the ground and growing upon contact with the wind.

Soon the insect egg was torn open, and a huge Thunder Spirit Spider appeared.

The Thunder Spirit Spider is a Thunder/Insect Type Exotic Beast; it possesses two large pincers, and its eight eyes are like light bulbs.

Its legs are covered in long hair, and golden electric arcs are spreading across the Thunder Spirit Spider's body.

【Name: Thunder Spirit Spider】

【Gender: Female】

【Attribute: Thunder/Insect】

【Trait: Thunder Gathering: Gathers lightning to enhance electric-type skills.】

【Evolution Route 1: None.】【Evaluation: An Insect Type Exotic Beast raised by Baichong. Baichong transformed his own body into a brood nest for Insect Type Exotic Beast survival; he is a traitor to the Gu Poison Sect.】

"Go, Dahui. When battling a lightning-type Exotic Beast, sending Dahui is naturally more reliable."

However, the moment Baichong saw Dahui, a meaningful glint appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Thunder Chinchilla. Ever since you escaped from the Laboratory, I have been ordered to track your trail."

"Haha, as long as I capture you and bring you back, the big shots of the Death God Society will surely take me in as their most loyal subordinate."

"Thunder Spirit Spider, use Thunder Light Needle to capture this escaped Thunder Chinchilla."

After Dahui heard Baichong's words, there was no expression on its face, but it gripped the Thunder God Axe tightly, revealing a determined expression.

It was evident that Dahui was no longer afraid of the past.

The Thunder Spirit Spider opened its large mouth, and arcs of light condensed in the air.

Suddenly, countless Thunder Light Needles, as thick as thumbs, shot out from the Thunder Spirit Spider's mouth.

"I presume that once Lord Death God hears the news that you are still alive, he will surely be overjoyed."

"You are, after all, the only successful experimental subject."

"A test subject personally cultivated by Lord Death God."

"I never expected that after you hid and dodged for so long, I would still find you."

An incredibly excited smile appeared on Baichong's face.

He cruelly licked his own parched lips.

"I never expected that being assigned to guard the warehouse would result in such a great achievement."

"Lord will surely praise me."

"When the time comes to get promoted, receive a raise, and become a CEO, Lord will certainly not treat me poorly."

Only Baichong knew how much Lord Death God longed to obtain this Thunder Chinchilla.

After all, this was a work meticulously designed by Lord Death God.

Facing the overwhelming incoming Thunder Light Needles, Dahui directly raised its Zhua and slapped heavily toward the front.

A sound of air being torn apart arrived.

All the incoming Thunder Light Needles were split in two at this moment.

Not only that, but even the Thunder Spirit Spider was torn to pieces at this moment.

"Impossible, the Thunder Spirit Spider is a Fifth-tier Exotic Beast, an Exotic Beast I have painstakingly cultivated for so long."

"How could it be defeated in one blow?"

Baichong's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"Originally, I intended to hand you over to the people from the Pet Beast Guild to properly interrogate your crimes."

"However, I have changed my mind now."

"Only dead people can keep secrets."

Ye Bai said coldly, his eyes filled with a cold glint.

"Dahui, this person is left to you."

Baichong sneered coldly: "Do you think that just because you solved one Fifth-tier Exotic Beast, I would be afraid of you?"

He took a deep breath, his stomach wriggling, and he opened his mouth wide.

Endless insects hatched rapidly within his body and shot out.

These insects grew in the wind, and soon a legion of Fifth-tier Insect Type Exotic Beasts emerged.

"Haha, kid, don't think I don't know that the Iron Armor ants you purchased were mixed with Hercules ants."

"I was originally a Breeder who raises Insect Type Exotic Beasts; if I hadn't wanted to catch a big fat sheep like you, how could I have taken such a risk."

"Go, my insect army."

"Completely erase this person."

Ye Bai took a rough look; among these Exotic Beasts were Four-Winged Black Mosquitoes, Golden Armor Beetles, and Jujian.

"Not bad. Having betrayed the Gu Poison Sect, what are your thoughts?"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

A look of shock and uncertainty appeared on Baichong's face, and then his face twisted.

"You know, so what?"

"Do you really think I would mind such a thing?"

"The more you know, the faster you will die."

"Go, completely finish off the human before me."

Baichong pointed at Ye Bai and said, but unfortunately, a drop of liquid fell onto the top of Baichong's head.

He curiously touched it with his hand; oh my god, this was actually pitch-black blood.

At this moment, Baichong looked up and saw that the insect legion he had painstakingly created was actually collapsing.

Countless fragments fell from the air, pouring all over him.

"Strange, I am clearly immune to all poisons, so why do I feel like I'm being burned by a raging fire now?"

"So painful, it's truly so painful."

Baichong's body was as if it had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid.

His body instantly melted into pus and blood.

At the very moment Baichong died, countless items emerged from his body and scattered all around.

"Space Pelican, Sunflower Emperor, do not let these items escape."

"Do not let them come into contact with Baichong's blood; this blood is corrosive."

Ye Bai shouted loudly.

Only, Ye Bai did not notice that a tiny insect, like a gnat, burrowed directly into the ground and disappeared.

The Sunflower Emperor's thick roots twisted around the gnat-like insect, and after confirming it had been ground to dust, it left with an expression of having hidden its merit and fame.
