Chapter 287: Unexpected Discovery, Blood Gu Ant

Zhang Dashan was a powerhouse who rose to prominence in the same era as the current White Tiger Marshal, Zhuge Ming.

If not for being heavily wounded by the Blood Gu Poison and wasting so much time, he would have ascended to the position of Marshal long ago.

However, when it came to Blood Gu Poison, Ye Bai's mind stirred.

Logically speaking, a Blood Gu is about the same size as a Spore; if a Blood Gu were to fight a Spore, who would win?

After all, Spores only attack and reproduce unconsciously, whereas Blood Gu have consciousness.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai immediately released a Summer Grass Ant.

At the same time, he had Lan Fa quickly manufacture a glass display case.

"Myriad-Change Silkworm, evolve into Blood Gu Butterfly."

After the Myriad-Change Silkworm was released by Ye Bai, its form gradually transformed into a Blood Gu Butterfly.

"Use Blood Gu on the Summer Grass Ant."

The Myriad-Change Silkworm directly condensed a drop of milky-white liquid.

This drop of liquid dripped straight onto the body of the Summer Grass Ant.

"Myriad-Change Silkworm, manipulate the Blood Gu to attack."

"Devour and reproduce!"

Ye Bai was surprised to discover that wherever the Blood Gu passed, the mycelium covering the Summer Grass Ant melted away like early snow.

Not long after, the white mycelium on the Summer Grass Ant was completely cleared, and even the large red mushroom on the Summer Grass Ant's back dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, this Summer Grass Ant, which had been parasitized since it was an ant egg, came completely back to life.

It moved with extreme agility inside the glass display case, and at the same time, circles of blood-red baleful aura gradually appeared on its body.

Lan Fa's mouth formed an 'O' shape; my god, what kind of miracle had Ye Bai created, actually using Blood Gu to drive away mold? Ye Bai also wore an expression of disbelief.

Sure enough, doing experiments requires not only a clever brain but also heaven-defying luck.

This time, he hadn't relied on the Insight Eye at all; just a flash of inspiration had opened up a brand-new situation.

Very good!

【Name: Blood Gu Ant】

【Gender: None】

【Attribute: Insect/Poison】

【Level: Tier 3, Level 1】

【Skills: Blood Gu (Proficient): Spray Blood Gu from the mouth to infect enemies; enemies hit and infected will become a breeding ground for Blood Gu reproduction.

Blood Storm (Proficient): Summon a highly corrosive Blood Mist to corrode opponents.

Insect Claw (Novice): Use sharp blade-arms to attack enemies.

Slash Combo (Proficient): Use four sharp blade-arms simultaneously to attack enemies.

Steel Claw (Novice): Wave silver-white claws to attack opponents.

Impact (Novice): Move rapidly on the ground to ram into opponents.

Guillotine (Novice): Use sharp teeth to bite at the opponent's neck; in severe cases, it can even snap the opponent's head off.】

【Evolution Route 1: Blood Baleful Ant, use baleful aura to cultivate the Blood Gu Ant; requires a large amount of fresh blood to convert the Blood Gu inside the Blood Gu Ant's body into Blood Baleful Gu.】

【Evolution Route 2: Blood Explosion Ant, once the Self-Destruct skill is comprehended, it can become a Blood Explosion Ant; once it explodes, it will be comparable to TNT explosives.】

【Evolution Route 3: Blood Gu Queen, this is related to the content of Blood Gu in the body; when the amount of Blood Gu reaches over fifty percent, the Blood Gu Queen will appear.】

"It seems the amount of Blood Gu provided by the Myriad-Change Silkworm this time was a bit high, making this evolution route relatively simple."

Lan Fa was taking notes on the side.

"It's just that I don't know if this Blood Gu Ant can convert the Summer Grass Ant into a companion?"

"If the conversion can be completed, it means that Blood Gu can be used to restrain Spores and treat Spore disease."

"They will treat the Spores as nutrients to be devoured."

"This is a major discovery."

Ye Bai hadn't expected that something he thought of in a flash of inspiration would be so useful.

He released another Summer Grass Ant.

The Summer Grass Ant sprayed Highly Toxic Spores first; it seemed very wary of the Blood Gu Ant.

The Highly Toxic Spores drifted onto the Blood Gu Ant like white snow, completely submerging it.

Just as the Summer Grass Ant thought it had succeeded, countless milky-white droplets emerged, and the Highly Toxic Spores melted away completely like ice and snow.

The liquid completely submerged the Summer Grass Ant; this Summer Grass Ant trembled all over, and wisps of blood-baleful aura spread out.

Its eyes almost popped out.

Four pincers resembling blade-arms made a clicking sound.

"Impressive."

Ye Bai clapped his hands.

"It proves that Blood Gu can be fully applied to nano-treatment."

"While Flame Potion can certainly provide prevention, it is not as controllable as Blood Gu."

Ye Bai immediately told his martial uncle about his discovery.

After Jiaomu Jiao Zhang Jian saw the message Ye Bai sent, his eyes widened instantly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Fang Ritu saw the look of surprise on Zhang Jian's face.

"In fact, there is indeed one thing that exceeded my expectations."

"Ye Bai said he knows how to solve the difficult problem of the Spores."

"And it also minimizes the side effects."

"Wait for me a moment, I will have Hell use Space Transfer to summon Ye Bai over."

A one-meter-sized Hell suddenly appeared.

This Hell spat out many pale green flames from its mouth.

The flames swirled together to form a spatial ripple. A ripple appeared in the space where Ye Bai was, and it gradually expanded.

"Come, Ye Bai, come over."

"Lan Fa, you come over too."

The four of them gathered together, and Hell formed a high-level Barrier.

Only a Pet Beast Master above the eighth rank would be able to detect this high-level Barrier.

"Ye Bai, what is your major discovery?"

Zhang Jian asked Ye Bai.

Ye Bai took out the converted blood-gu ants and told his senior uncle how he had discovered that blood-gu could treat Spore Disease.

"Ye Bai, your luck is truly good; this was indeed a happy accident, that you could even think of something like blood-gu."

"We can completely treat this thing, blood-gu, as a vaccine and inject it into the human body."

"And keep the blood-gu in a dormant state until external spores invade, only then activating the blood-gu."

Ye Bai nodded; his senior uncle's words made a lot of sense.

"Ye Bai, if that is the case, I do have a question."

"Can we manage to mass-produce blood-gu in time?"

"If we cannot achieve mass production, this is nothing more than an empty promise."

"If we report it up, we will instead be scolded by the leaders."

Ye Bai smiled; mass reproduction involved replication, and Lan Fa, who was by his side, was the best at that.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I want to use a two-pronged approach, but there is a problem right now that I want to tell you."

"That is, there are not many raw materials left to manufacture Flame Potion."

"Then how can we manufacture enough Flame Potion?"

"At the same time, can Flame Potion and blood-gu be used simultaneously to achieve a better clearing effect?"

Ye Bai smiled and first explained the third question raised by his senior uncle: "Senior Uncle, don't worry, Flame Potion and blood-gu can be used simultaneously; if we are racing against time, blood-gu can withstand high temperatures above fifty degrees."

"The spores will be dead, and the blood-gu will still be able to live just fine."

"As for how we mass-produce them, that will have to rely on Lan Fa."

"Senior Uncle, I remember you haven't taken any disciples; why don't you take Lan Fa as your disciple?"

"Once he becomes one of our own, I will also be able to order Lan Fa around better."

Lan Fa's face twitched; hey, hey, hey, don't say such things in front of me.

It feels like I was sold out right to my face, seriously.

"He possesses an S-rank or higher talent, Reality-Fiction Conversion."

"To put it simply, it is replication."

"As long as it is something he has seen and touched with his hands, he can replicate it."

"However, in this process, it requires consuming a tiny bit of crystal cores."

Ye Bai gestured with his hand.

"S-rank or higher talent, Reality-Fiction Conversion?"

"Which school are you from? The Class Teacher is actually so negligent; such an important talent, and they didn't even report it—what are they trying to do!"

Zhang Jian, who had served as the president of the Pet Beast Association, was extremely furious at this moment.

This was depriving a student of their future.

Zhang Jian simply could not imagine how many unjust, false, or wrong cases there were in talent testing, and how many people possessed extremely high talent but were judged as having low-level talent.

The senior uncle rubbed his brow and looked at Lan Fa with eyes full of tenderness: "From now on, you are my first disciple."

"I am Jiao Mu Jiao of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"My master is the Xu Dog Pillar, one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

"My junior sister is the famous Professor Zhang Lingxue."

"By the way, my master also took in Yun Luo as his youngest disciple."

After hearing Zhang Jian's last sentence, Lan Fa was also somewhat speechless.

My own companion has actually become my junior martial aunt, oh my god!

"I am willing, I am willing."

Lan Fa knelt on the ground on both knees and kowtowed three times solemnly to Zhang Jian to show his respect for Zhang Jian.

His forehead was even knocked red.

"From now on, you two are fellow disciples."

"Remember, absolutely do not do anything that harms the Yan Country, otherwise I will personally take action to purge the sect, do you hear me?"

Lan Fa nodded.

"Lan Fa, replicate the blood-gu and Flame Potion as soon as possible."

"We must restore the people who have been Parasited by spores as quickly as possible."

"If they have been Parasited for too long, I estimate those people won't be able to be brought back to life."

The chief office of Nantianmen.

The area around Professor Du Bo was filled with people.

These people all looked rather troubled: "Du Bo, those people are here to investigate violations; you say that not one of us is clean, so what should we do?"

Professor Du Bo smiled and took a light sip of tea: "No matter, I have already spoken to the Logistics Department, and the raw materials needed to prepare the Flame Potion will all be missing."

"At the same time, I have also had people set a trap in a certain part of the Yishou Zhanchang."

"As long as Zhang Jian enters that place, he will be sealed away; it will be impossible for him to get out in under an hour."

"We will take this opportunity to finish off that brat Ye Bai."

"Spore Parasite research is such a wonderful project; it absolutely must not be ruined by Ye Bai."
