Chapter 269: Strength Iron Armor Ant

The death of Guren Baichong was the work of the Myriad-Change Silkworm's Clone.

One of the Myriad-Change Silkworm's clones is the Blood Gu Butterfly, which can manipulate Gu insects.

Moreover, after Ye Bai tamed the Blood Pool, the Blood Gu Butterfly also evolved into the Myriad-Blood Gu Butterfly.

Just a moment ago, it was the Myriad-Blood Gu Butterfly manipulating the blood Gu to eliminate the Gu human.

It is the nemesis of Gu insects.

"Sunflower Emperor, clean all these things up."

Ye Bai said this to the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor hurriedly picked up the items on the ground and stuffed them into its own space.

At the moment Guren Baichong died.

The leader of the Death God Society learned the news that Dahui was still alive; he had left a mark inside Guren Baichong's body that could reveal the last image seen before Guren Baichong's death.

And that image was Dahui; even if Dahui turned to ash, the leader of the Death God Society would be able to recognize it at a glance.

"That Thunder Dragon Cat is actually still alive; I thought it had already died."

"To have been hit by the Shenshen de zhouzhou and still be able to live for such a long time, it must have found a way to break it."

"As long as I find the Thunder Dragon Cat, I will be able to find a way to break the curse."

"The Shenshen de zhouzhou made me, and it also destroyed me; this curse clings to me like a festering sore that won't let go."

"Hahaha, when that time comes, our Death God Society will regain its vitality, like a withered tree meeting spring."

"Search, find the whereabouts of the Thunder Dragon Cat for me."

"In that person's hands, there is a very strange, colorful butterfly."

"He is at least a Fifth-rank Pet Master; there aren't many such people in Yan Country, so he should be easy to find."

"My lifespan is already running low; I must find a way to lift my curse."

"This curse is like the Sword of Damocles, hanging over my head, making me unable to help but fear, unable to help but dread."

"I fear that my future will lose its meaning."

"I fear that I will lose everything."

"Search, whoever finds the Thunder Dragon Cat, I will reward them heavily."

The leader of the Death God Society shouted very happily; although he had already lived long enough, who wants to die?

To die is to lose this supreme power; to die is to no longer be able to enjoy the riches of the human world.

After killing Guren Baichong and destroying some of Baichong's items that carried marks, Ye Bai looked at Dahui with a somewhat grim expression.

"Dahui, for the time being, you still shouldn't appear in front of others."

"My brow has been twitching wildly since just now; I always have a bad premonition."

"And the Myriad-Change Silkworm, the Five-Elements Saint Butterfly clone, it's better to bring them out less; these can be treated as one of our secret trump cards."

The Five-Elements Saint Butterfly possesses a very special ability: it can convert the energy of the five elements.

That is to say, even for a Fifth-rank Exotic Beast, attacks of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth will not cause it the slightest bit of damage.

"Let's go, the experimental materials have been obtained; now we just wait for tonight to enter the Underground Black Market."

Ye Bai's time is very tight, and there is also a sense of urgency.

After he returned to school, he dove straight into the Laboratory.

The eggs of the Iron Armor Ant and the Strength Ant must be separated.

However, as he was separating them, Ye Bai was suddenly stunned.

Because before his eyes, a new ant egg had appeared.

【Strength Iron Armor Ant: An Exotic Beast bred from a Strength Ant and an Iron Armor Ant; they inherit the great strength of the Strength Ant and the defense of the Iron Armor Ant.】

My goodness, was this Strength Iron Armor Ant developed by the Western Research Institute?

For Ye Bai, this was also a small surprise.

Inheriting the great strength of the Strength Ant and the iron armor defense of the Iron Armor Ant—isn't this the very topic he was preparing to research?

Both the Strength Ant and the Iron Armor Ant are Exotic Beasts belonging to the ant family.

There is no reproductive barrier between the two, but the degree of reproduction between different species is still somewhat different.

The genes of Insect Type Exotic Beasts have too high an instability.

Even if a Strength Iron Armor Ant has appeared, it must be made into a Gene Map to select the good genes and pass them down generation after generation.

This is definitely a super-large-scale project.

Relying on Ye Bai alone, he is willing but lacks the power.

But Ye Bai can lay the foundation, get it started, and then request his master and grandmaster to send people to assist him.

"Let's put these Exotic Beast eggs into the incubation room to hatch first."

The incubation room is a place specifically for hatching Pet Beast Eggs; Ye Bai's Laboratory has one that looks just like a giant oven.

This is high technology; it can automatically adjust the temperature during incubation, monitor the hatching progress of the Pet Beast Egg at all times, and the moment the Pet Beast breaks out of its shell, separate the Pet Beast and send it to a specialized breeding room.

"I'll start it off; I'll hatch the Strength Iron Armor Ants first."

Ye Bai sent the Strength Iron Armor Ants to the incubation room for hatching.

There were over five hundred Strength Iron Armor Ants here in total; after Ye Bai selected them, he sent them all to be hatched.

The remaining Strength Ant and Iron Armor Ant larvae were also quickly separated by Ye Bai using the Insight Eye.

The two are different types of ants, and their auras are slightly different, so they were quickly distinguished.

At this time at the Tianyun Yishou Shichang, a group of people hurriedly arrived at the place where Baichong worked before his death.

"Quick, bring out all the Iron Armor Ant larvae; I have great use for them."

The middle-aged man in the lead shouted loudly.

Not a single one of the assistants on the side moved.

"I'm talking to you people, are you deaf!!!"

The middle-aged man roared loudly.

"The Iron Armor ant eggs are gone."

"They were just bought by a big client," the assistant shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Where is your boss? Do you know who the person who bought the Iron Armor ant eggs is?"

The middle-aged man was so anxious he was practically jumping.

"I'm not clear on that. Maybe the boss knows, but you'll have to wait until the boss returns."

"Don't ask me either; I can't make any decisions."

The assistant was committed to slacking off, claiming ignorance to every question.

"Hmph."

The middle-aged man was practically dying of anger.

"Search! Go into the room and search for me. Even if you have to turn the entire warehouse upside down, you must find the Iron Armor ant eggs for me."

The assistant tried his best to stop them: "Hey, what do you think you're doing? Don't go in, or I'm calling the police."

Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Su Qingxian and Zhang Lingxue sat opposite each other.

"Xiao Xue, the Five Elements Butterfly evolution video provided by Ye Bai is crucial to us."

"I didn't expect the steps for the Five Elements Butterfly's evolution to be so difficult."

"The experiment has already reached a bottleneck."

Su Qingxian let out a long sigh; she already felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Ye Bai has entered the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, so I would like to invite Ye Bai over to help me with the research."

"I will soon become the deputy director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, and this position will also concurrently hold the title of vice president of Imperial Capital University."

"My time and energy are limited, so Xiao Xue, I hope you can take the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden in my hands."

"Continue the research on the Five Elements Butterfly. We have already invested too much into this project; if the project is cut, we will be in a very passive position."

"Xiao Xue, you are also the number one person researching the Baibian Can, so your foundation is already very solid."

"That is why your teacher wants you to take on more responsibility."

Zhang Lingxue naturally understood what Su Qingxian meant.

However, she did not really want to manage it.

"Teacher, I don't have time for the moment either."

"If Ye Bai is willing to conduct the research, I can have a word with him. Once he returns from the Western Research Institute, he can lead the Five Elements Butterfly research."

"However, his other research regarding the Hercules Ant must also continue."

"This can be considered a regret of Senior Sister's before she left."

Su Qingxian sighed again.

Her senior sister was Chu Han, who possessed the talent of Photographic Memory; she was a genius among geniuses.

Although she came from a poor background, she relied on her own strength to get into the most difficult Imperial Capital University, and she also solved many cold cases that had accumulated at the Research Institute.

Chu Han and Xiao Xue were together known as the peerless pair of Imperial Capital University.

It is a pity, a beauty's life is often short.

The laboratory she was in exploded; she was gone the moment she entered the laboratory, and the laboratory was completely detonated.

Her body was blown to smithereens.

Su Qingxian did not know that the three Sages of Sun, Moon, and Star were Chu Han.

Hearing Zhang Lingxue mention Chu Han, Su Qingxian's expression changed.

She also knew that this research had been initiated by Chu Han, and an accident occurred before any results were produced.

"Fine, if Ye Bai can handle it, then he can manage both projects."

"If Ye Bai is too busy, then we can only prioritize the Five Elements Butterfly project."

"Your senior sister's project can be delayed for a while."

Seeing Su Qingxian so insistent, Zhang Lingxue nodded, indicating that she was willing to support Su Qingxian's work.

"Xiao Xue, the research data for the Five Elements Butterfly is right here."

"Liang Zhuren lost this time and is currently fuming; he might make things difficult for you when you go to collect the materials."

"If he bullies you, just tell me, and I will give him a profound memory."

The door to Ye Bai's Laboratory was tightly shut; no one knew that Ye Bai had already returned.

At this moment, he was concentrating on watching the Hercules Iron Armor ant eggs successfully hatch.

They used their pincers to break through the thin-as-cicada-wings eggs, then struggled fiercely and broke free.

These newly born little things were still very fragile, and a moment of carelessness could lead to their death.

"Not bad, the Hercules Iron Armor ants have already hatched."

Ye Bai used a Beast Card to collect these newly hatched Hercules Iron Armor ants into the Beast Card one after another.

Now the sun was about to set, and Ye Bai was about to head to the Underground Black Market, so the research was temporarily paused.

However, just as Ye Bai stepped out, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of his laboratory.

Ye Bai???

What is this for? "Student, I would like to temporarily requisition your laboratory."

"The chief of Imperial Capital University has suddenly contracted a very strange Spore disease."

"You have a medical treatment device here; I would like to have him lie inside it for treatment."

Ye Bai looked down; the person on the stretcher was unconscious, their entire body covered in Spore growths and tentacles.

They looked just like an evil god from Cthulhu mythology.

"The chief of Imperial Capital University, huh."

"That's fine, please come with me."

Ye Bai put on a dust mask, and to prevent the Spores from spreading, Ye Bai also told the onlookers not to touch the chief with their hands, otherwise, there could be very bad consequences.

"Let's see if we can settle this quickly, otherwise we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
