Chapter 281: Contracting the Ice Glazed Dragon

Ye Bai had not checked the Information System for two consecutive days. He lowered his head to take a look, and good heavens, it was filled with intelligence regarding the Abyss Spore.

Had he poked a hornet's nest of Abyss Spores? 【1. The Abyss Spore invasion event has broken out. Currently, only a small portion of the global population is infected. After infection, the characteristic is becoming very sensitive to heat; they like to hide in cool, shaded places. The skill Holy Light possesses a severe restraining effect on Abyss Spores. Generally, people invaded by spores will reveal expressions of extreme pain and violent struggling after being attacked by Holy Light.】

【2. Once Abyss Spores mature, they will spread everywhere and possess extremely strong contagiousness. People hosted by Abyss Spores will have their thoughts controlled by the Abyss Spores within a very short time. Those invaded by Abyss Spores cannot feel that they have been infected and will only act like normal people.】

【3. Abyss Spores fear ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet lamps can eliminate Abyss Spores, force them into a dormant state, and inhibit their growth.】

【4. People with magic patterns appearing on their foreheads have been completely eroded by Abyss Spores and are basically beyond saving.】

【5. Abyss Spores are magical creatures secreted by the Abyss Demon God, Mother of Spores Jubis. After entering the Crystal Wall, their power is greatly weakened. Defeating a clone of Jubis to obtain an Abyss Seed can expel the spores. Once infected, after treatment is finished, the body will produce corresponding antibodies and will not be easily infected by spores again.】

【6. People controlled by Abyss Spores will establish a Demon Gate among the offshore islands to project a clone of the Mother of Spores Jubis. Once the clone enters Blue Star and becomes familiar with the rules of Blue Star, it will release large-scale spores, turning this place into a paradise for the Mother of Spores.】

【7. The 69th Demon God Dankalabi and the 70th Demon God Seere hold deep hatred for Jubis; summoning them might reveal Jubis's weaknesses.】

【8. Jubis's power comes from the fear all things have for it. Once its clone appears on Blue Star, it will have at least Tier 8 strength and will also be able to summon Abyss Guards.】

【9. Heavenly treasures like Ice Crystal Fruit will appear near where Abyss Spores grow, which can promote the growth of ice-type Pet Beasts.】

【10. Abyss Spores will absorb the abilities of their hosts to self-replicate, giving birth to different troop types.】

My cow, this Information System is flooding with information about the Abyss Spore; this means this matter has become very serious.

Ye Bai sent the relevant intelligence regarding the Abyss Spore to the email inboxes of the Chenlong Pillar and his grandmaster via an encrypted channel.

After seeing the intelligence, the Chenlong Pillar and his grandmaster revealed worried expressions.

It just so happened that Master Jiang was reporting to the higher-ups and, upon learning that Ye Bai had developed a Flame Potion capable of treating the spores, immediately sought out Ye Bai to understand the situation.

Seeing Xiao Han coiled around Ye Bai's neck, the Chenlong Pillar's Ice Glazed Dragon revealed a sour expression.

The child it had given birth to after struggling through life and death was actually so close to a human, which simply made the Ice Glazed Dragon green with envy.

"Ye Bai, I heard you saved Chief Jiang and developed a potion that can target the spores."

"The spread of the Abyss Spore is a major public safety incident. We must completely extinguish this sprout before it even begins to grow."

"Ye Bai, during your research, did you discover how to detect who has been parasitized by spores?"

Ye Bai nodded: "That is very simple. You only need the Sunflower Emperor to use Holy Light. People hit by the Holy Light will emit wisps of white gas from their bodies."

"This white gas is the parasitizing spore."

"At the same time, ultraviolet lamps can eliminate the spores."

"Fire-type and lightning-type Exotic Beasts are not easily parasitized."

"These spores are also very afraid of heat. Basically, at a temperature of 40 degrees for five minutes, the spores will completely dissipate."

"These are the characteristics I discovered regarding the spores."

Grandmaster Zhang Dashan pondered for a moment. Spores are the kind of thing that are hard to guard against, just like a virus.

"Ye Bai, you need to prepare yourself mentally; you may be sent to the most ferocious Yishou Zhanchang."

"We are currently short-handed, and you have a certain understanding of the Abyss Spore."

"That is our bridgehead for contending with Exotic Beasts, and it is also the Nantianmen of our Yan Country. Once the Yishou Zhanchang falls, we will retreat to our Tiannan Shi and Tianbei Shi. Once these two cities are breached, those Exotic Beasts will drive straight in, and by that time, countless Exotic Beasts will invade here."

"We will need to spend even greater effort to drive the Exotic Beasts back."

"Back then, Nantianmen was breached once, and it was only because I was entrusted with a critical mission and released my ultimate move that I was able to take Nantianmen back."

"For this, I also suffered heavy injuries and stepped down from the position of President of the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union."

"This Abyss Spore invasion is no small matter. I hope you, Ye Bai, can personally go to Nantianmen to check how many Pet Beast Masters have been parasitized by Abyss Spores."

"Of course, your senior fellow apprentice Jiaomujiao and his teammate Fang Ritu will accompany you to Nantianmen."

"The scourge of the Abyss Spore must be contained."

"Ye Bai, when you return, the two of us will claim credit for you."

In fact, it was not just the scourge of the Abyss Spore; Jiaomujiao and Fang Ritu also had to investigate the matter of Exotic Beasts disguising themselves as humans to infiltrate Nantianmen.

They wanted to take this opportunity to ferret out the Exotic Beasts.

Otherwise, they feared being attacked from both front and back when the Beast Tide occurred.

Now, there was less than half a month left until the Beast Tide.

"Your senior fellow apprentice is currently still in Tiannan Province. He is expected to arrive at the Imperial Capital in three days. When that time comes, he will escort you to the Nantianmen in Tiannan Province."

"Apologies, this matter is very important and will also pose a certain danger to your life. Accompanying you to Tiannan Province will also be a medical team."

"Chief Jiang and his team will also enter Nantianmen this time."

"The main mission of their squad is to protect you."

"You still have three days to wrap up your experiments."

In fact, Ye Bai's experiment had also reached the point of wrapping up.

"No problem, I will pause the experiment first."

"Moreover, it is also possible to conduct my experiment at Nantianmen."

"Wherever I am, the experiment is there!"

The grandmaster nodded. He had quite a high opinion of this grand-disciple of his; he was someone who truly possessed a sense of justice for the world.

"By the way, Grandmaster, do you have an Invitation Letter for the Tenglong Paimaisuo?"

"I want to go to the Tenglong Paimaisuo to take a look."

Zhang Dashan nodded. As one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, he certainly had the qualifications to obtain an Invitation Letter.

"This is the Invitation Letter for the Tenglong Paimaisuo."

"However, Ye Bai, you must still be careful to conceal your identity when entering the Tenglong Paimaisuo."

"Otherwise, it is very easy to be intercepted by others."

"Have you ever thought about contracting the Ice Glazed Dragon?"

"Don't talk to me about the problem of insufficient Contract Slots. As long as you want to, I have contract items here that ignore the rules."

Zhang Dashan said forcefully.

Chen Longzhu looked at Ye Bai with an expectant gaze.

If Ye Bai contracted the Ice Crystal Dragon, the remaining medical fees owed for many years would be wiped clean.

The little Ice Crystal Dragon looked at Ye Bai with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you abandoning me?"

Its eyes were filled with a look of disappointment.

Ye Bai's heart softened instantly, and he let out a long sigh.

It just so happened that he did not have an ice-attribute Pet Beast on hand.

"Contract."

Ye Bai said with absolute firmness.

The little Ice Crystal Dragon wept with joy.

"This is the item capable of contracting the Ice Crystal Dragon, the Dragon Oath Pearl."

"This is a very special item." "After the little Ice Crystal Dragon swallows it, it can also enhance its Dragon-type origin."

Zhang Dashan waved his hand suddenly, and a dark green gemstone appeared in his hand.

Under the illumination of the lights, every facet of this dark green gemstone emitted a dark green glow.

After Ye Bai took the Dragon Oath Pearl, he understood how this dragon pearl was used.

He made the True Dragon Spirit transform into the Bronze Ancient Sword, with seven Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes circling around the Bronze Ancient Sword.

Ye Bai took one Ten Thousand Dragon Slash and wiped it across his wrist; blood gushed out, instantly submerging the Dragon Oath Pearl.

The Sunflower Emperor dripped two drops of Heavenly Dew directly, and the wound on Ye Bai's wrist healed instantly.

The Dragon Oath Pearl swallowed all the sprayed blood, and after hearing a few "Crack! Crack!" sounds, the impurities on the surface of the Dragon Oath Pearl fell off instantly.

It revealed a luster like jade, crystal clear like lychee flesh, and then submerged into Ye Bai's brow.

The Contract Slot that had been sealed within Ye Bai's body loosened instantly, and he successfully signed a contract with the Ice Crystal Dragon.

"Very good, Ice Crystal Dragon, please take care of me from now on."

Ye Bai rubbed the Ice Crystal Dragon's head.

【Name: Ice Crystal Dragon】

【Gender: Female】

【Level: Tier 4, Level 1】

【Trait: Cold Current (In snowy environments, casting ice-attribute spells will significantly increase their power)】

【Skills: Absolute Freezing Qi (Proficient): Exhales a frigid current from the mouth, completely freezing the opponent.

Ice Dragon (Proficient): Utilizes cold energy to condense into individual ice dragons to attack the opponent.

Ice Dragon Claw (Entry): Condenses a dragon claw made of ice to attack the opponent.

Ice Transformation (Entry): Freezes one's own body into ice to resist the opponent's attacks.】

【Evolution Path: Frost Crystal Dragon, evolution materials unknown】

【Description: A little princess of the Ice Crystal Dragon clan; she is born with max-level Ice-type and Dragon-type talent, so she requires a lot of resources to cultivate.】

"Whoa, no wonder Chen Longzhu looked reluctant but also wore an expression of relief."

Ye Bai faintly felt that the resources required by the little Ice Crystal Dragon would be a bottomless pit.

"Haha, in three days, Jiao Mu Jiao and Fang Ri Tu will come to Imperial Capital University to find you."

"They are all old acquaintances, so you don't need to be nervous."

"Eat well and sleep well for these three days; once you reach Nantianmen, you probably won't even have time to sleep."

Ye Bai was speechless; this made it sound like a forced march.

"Ye Bai, don't blame your grandmaster for being blunt, you'll know once you reach Nantianmen."

"That place is known as a meat grinder, and it is also called the Battlefield of Blood."

Chen Longzhu said with a serious face.

After the two left, Ye Bai immediately discussed things with Lan Fa.

He planned to take Lan Fa with him to the Yishou Zhanchang.

After all, only by taking Lan Fa with him could he rely on Lan Fa's replication ability to have sufficient raw materials.

This way, even if something really happened, Ye Bai would not be afraid.

Although Lan Fa was a bit hesitant, Ye Bai promised that there would be a special squad to protect their safety, and with two of the Twenty-Eight Mansions protecting them, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Lan Fa, you don't have many Pet Beasts; I will find a way to supplement you with some life-saving Pet Beasts."

"You can rest assured."

Ye Bai said solemnly to Lan Fa.

The Invitation Letter from the Longteng Auction House was neither gold nor jade, and the craftsmanship was quite exquisite.

This auction house was also located within a Secret Realm, and one could only reach the location of the auction house by using the Invitation Letter.

"The Thunder God's armor can enhance Dahui's strength."

"Even if I face the leader of the Death God Society later, I will have the power to fight."

When Ye Bai learned that the enemy behind Dahui was the Death God Society, he felt a sense of urgency.

He had to rapidly increase his strength; even though he was required to go to the Yishou Zhanchang, Ye Bai did not refuse.

Because the Yishou Zhanchang was the place with the most Exotic Beasts, and it was also the place where Ye Bai was most likely to obtain a large amount of supplies.

With sufficient resources, Ye Bai could naturally quickly improve his own strength and that of his Pet Beasts.

Plus, with Lan Fa's replication ability, some rare materials could be completely handed over to Lan Fa to replicate.

And all Ye Bai needed to pay was a large quantity of crystal cores.

Death God Society.

The Corpse Speaker was currently inspecting his collection.

Doll after doll, crafted with exquisite workmanship.

These dolls were covered in liver spots, yet their Soul remained trapped within their decaying bodies.

Just at this moment, a massive Abomination appeared.

It held a giant kitchen knife in its left hand and a meteor hammer in its right.

Eight eyes looked toward the Corpse Speaker, its lower body completely obscured by layers of fat.

"Lord Corpse Speaker, Lord Death God wants you to go to the Yishou Zhanchang once more."

"Our plan is about to succeed; as long as we can awaken the many heroic spirits who sacrificed themselves at the Nantianmen, we will obtain an invincible army."

"When those heroic spirits who once guarded Yan Country watch helplessly as they slaughter their former comrades, what despair that will be."

"That despairing Soul is truly delicious."

The Abomination could not help but swallow its saliva.

That icy, stimulating sensation truly left the Abomination with an endless aftertaste.

"Go back and report to Lord Death God that I will do as he intends."

"It is just that after finishing this time, I intend to sleep eternally here as well, to realize an eternal slumber together with my little darlings."

A different kind of rune appeared within the Corpse Speaker's golden pupils.

Looking at its shape, it was somewhat similar to Ye Bai's Insight Eye.
