Chapter 294: The Mysterious Mirror

【Name: Plague Black Rat】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Dark/Undead】

【Level: (Tier 3, Level 5)】

【Skills: Berserk (Proficient): The body undergoes Expansion, increasing attack power.

Plague Infection (Proficient): The virus carried on the body spreads instantly, diffusing into the surroundings. Humans or Exotic Beasts that are infected will, upon death, transform into Undead Exotic Beasts carrying the plague.

Sharp Teeth (Proficient): Uses teeth as sharp as daggers to bite through the opponent's throat, causing wounds that bleed incessantly.

Tearing Claw (Proficient): Raises sharp Zhua to attack the opponent; the Zhua contain a toxin that prevents wounds from healing, with a certain probability of inducing a poisoned state.】

【Evolution Route 1: Plague Rat Doctor. Having devoured a large number of their companions, they awaken intelligence and become Plague Rat Doctors proficient in spreading plagues. They can cause you to be rapidly infected with diseases, manifesting as difficulty breathing and diarrhea.】

【Evolution Route 2: Plague Rat Priest. Having devoured a large number of their companions, they awaken intelligence and become Plague Rat Priests proficient in curses. They specialize in weakening curses.】

【Evolution Route 3: Plague Rat King. Having devoured a large number of their companions, they awaken intelligence. As the king of the plague rats, its combat power is even more terrifying. Relying on the power of Blood Demon Art: Plague Infection, it can fight across tiers.】

【Evaluation: They are Exotic Beasts created by Blood Demon Art: Plague Infection. Holy Light skills can exert a strong restraint on them. Because they belong to the Undead Exotic Beast category, they are extremely sensitive to the aura of life. They will desperately find living Exotic Beasts and turn them into their own kind. The Blood Demon possesses absolute control over them.】

This thing was created by the Blood Demon. Does a Tier 7 Blood Demon possess the ability of Plague Infection? Actually, this is similar to those necromancers; as long as there are enough corpses, they can create a sufficient army of skeletons.

Ye Bai rubbed his chin. Actually, this Plague Infection is still a quite useful skill.

If one could transmit the plague to those dead Exotic Beasts and turn them into Undead Exotic Beasts, would that mean the Sunflower Emperor could wipe out their entire army by using Holy Light?

Ye Bai discovered that he seemed to have found a way to quell this Beast Tide.

Perhaps this method could end the Beast Tide forever, allowing Yan Country to live peaceful days from now on.

This should be what is called "eliminating the nine generations" in a literal sense.

But theory is very far from reality; risks and opportunities exist in parallel. Without the Yishou Zhanchang, Yan Country would be unable to obtain large quantities of Exotic Beast materials and would very likely fall behind other countries.

"All-Change Silkworm, Holy Light."

Following rays of holy light radiating from the body of the All-Change Silkworm, the holy light illuminated all darkness and blinded the eyes of the Plague Black Rats.

Every Plague Black Rat covered its eyes and let out a shrill scream; they felt as if their bodies had been burned by a raging fire.

Their bodies vanished into ashes in an instant, and only ink-green crystal cores fell to the ground with a clatter.

"A big harvest, a big harvest! All-Change Silkworm, use Silk Spit."

The All-Change Silkworm sprayed out strands of milky-white insect silk directly from its mouth, which adhered to the ink-green crystal cores.

With a sudden flick from the All-Change Silkworm, the ink-green crystal cores landed in Ye Bai's hands.

Ye Bai put on protective gloves as thin as silkworm silk, and the black patterns appearing in his eyes allowed him to see the detailed information of the ink-green crystal cores.

【Plague Black Rat's Crystal Core (Dark): The crystal core carries a plague curse. Light-attribute skills can perform Purification on the crystal core's curse, turning it into an ordinary crystal core. Dark-attribute Pet Beasts have a certain probability of comprehending the skill Plague Infection (Dark).】

Ah, this!

This is not an ordinary crystal core; this is a precious skill stone.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, this ink-green crystal core emitted wisps of black gas, and before long, it turned into an ordinary white crystal core.

The value of this has decreased by at least half.

Ye Bai, feeling some heartache and physical pain, shouted loudly at the Nether Wolf.

"Nether Wolf, collect the crystal cores, quickly."

A black shadow flashed by, and all the crystal cores disappeared in an instant.

Having mastered the Shadow Transformation skill, the Nether Wolf can shuttle rapidly directly through shadows.

The Nether Wolf is a dark-attribute Exotic Beast. If it could master a skill like Plague Infection, combined with the Sunflower Emperor's Holy Light, it could end the Beast Tide even earlier and destroy the Yishou Zhanchang.

It is just that the harvest from the Yishou Zhanchang would also become less; after all, the biggest harvest from the Yishou Zhanchang is the corpses of the Exotic Beasts, which contain not only Exotic Beast meat but also crystal cores, raw materials, and so on.

Different parts of different Exotic Beasts have different effects.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, the higher-ups should not approve of his proposal.

After all, the Yishou Zhanchang still possesses its own value and significance.

New Pet Beast Masters must go through the baptism of blood and iron to understand the meaning of protecting their home and country.

One must be prepared for danger in times of peace and not place oneself in a cage of comfort.

As a large number of infected Plague Black Rats were eliminated, Xuemo Du Bo immediately sensed this situation.

He sat on a throne constructed of fresh blood; beneath the throne were ferocious, wailing skulls.

Xuemo Du Bo rested his head on his hand, thinking quietly, while holding a goblet filled with blood essence in his hand.

At this moment, he gently swirled the goblet, and the blood essence inside rippled slightly.

This blood essence is a good thing; it is an essence condensed from the blood of a large number of Exotic Beasts.

He waved his hand, and countless amounts of blood gathered in mid-air, forming a giant Blood Mirror.

Xuemo Du Bo only saw a dazzling white light, and all the Plague Black Rats turned into ashes one after another.

"A Pet Beast Master who excels at using light-attribute skills?"

"I remember that in the Nantianmen Fortress, there are no Pet Beast Masters who excel at light-attribute skills."

"Then is this person Jiao Mu Jiao or Fang Ri Tu, or is it a secret agent sent by Yan Country to investigate me?"

Because Ye Bai's figure was shrouded by the white light, Xuemo Du Bo did not discover that the person before him was Ye Bai.

"But it doesn't matter; they can't stop my plan anyway."

"As long as I summon Xuemoshen Cain into this world and use this mirror fragment to carry the power of Xuemoshen Cain, I will obtain the power bestowed by the Demon God and ascend into an even greater existence."

A mirror fragment appeared on the Blood Demon's body; this mirror fragment was something he accidentally obtained in an ancient ruin when he was young.

This mirror fragment is neither gold nor jade, nor does it belong to any material; it cannot be cut by blades and is impervious to water and fire.

Professor Du Bo used various methods, but none could destroy the mirror fragment.

It was also by a chance opportunity that the Blood Demon discovered that this mirror fragment could carry the power of the Demon God.

Afterwards, Xuemo Du Bo searched through more than half of Yan Country before finding the other three mirror fragments, finally assembling one-sixth of the mirror's surface.

This mirror is the most important and critical link in the plan to summon Xuemoshen Cain.

Ordinary matter simply cannot contain the majestic figure and vast power of a Demon God. "In this Exotic Beast war, a massive amount of blood will descend from the sky and pour into the Blood River; then I will be able to gather enough blood to summon the Demon God."

"Xuemoshen Cain will descend upon Blue Star in a brand-new posture, and I will become an existence beneath one god but above ten thousand."

"When that time comes, it will be the moment I become the Emperor of Blood; breaking through to the Ninth Rank will no longer be a dream."

Xuemo Du Bo drained the blood essence in his goblet and tossed the stemmed glass directly into the rolling Blood River.

The Blood River vaporized the stemmed glass into white mist, and Xuemo waved his hand again.

Countless black shadows emerged from the Blood River.

The river surface, radiating a crimson and fishy stench, exploded one after another, forming a Blood Mist that would not dissipate.

Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors, each the size of a small hill, appeared.

They possessed two pairs of blood-red wings, eyes filled with a fierce and baleful aura, tails with sharp barbs, and a crimson gemstone growing on their foreheads.

Their Zhua were as sharp as swords tempered a thousand times; they hovered silently in mid-air, not daring to take a single breath.

Dark Night Blood Bats are the standard equipment for Xuemo when he travels.

When Xuemo travels, Dark Night Blood Bats that blot out the sky and cover the earth clear the path for him.

That really elevates the class of the occasion.

"At this time, the Eternal Diva should have been found by now; she is one of the sacrifices I offer to the Demon God."

Young and beautiful women are the Demon God's favorite sacrifices.

Especially a diva who possesses the Soul Sound; this is even more capable of catering to the Demon God's tastes.

He himself can also beg the Demon God to transform the Eternal Diva into a Scarlet Empress.

At this moment, in the underground passage, Zhang Jie had already been surrounded by endless Plague Black Rats.

She retreated again and again, her back touching the wall.

The Plague Black Rats further compressed the space Zhang Jie had to dodge; she had nowhere left to retreat.

Looking at the Plague Black Rats, each the size of a leopard, a bitter smile appeared on Zhang Jie's face.

She bit her lip tightly with her teeth, and a large amount of thin sweat seeped from her forehead, as if she were contemplating whether or not to unleash the Extinction Song once more.

The Extinction Song is a forbidden spell song capable of finishing off even Seventh Rank Exotic Beasts.

Dealing with these Plague Black Rats, which were not even Fourth Rank, felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Moreover, Zhang Jie had a vague premonition that once she used the Extinction Song, she would completely perish in body and Soul.

Just as Zhang Jie made up her mind and parted her jade lips, her throat suddenly could not emit a sound.

Oh no, how could things go wrong at such a critical moment?

In Zhang Jie's deep eyes, a trace of profound despair was revealed.

Just as Zhang Jie fell into despair, a blindingly strong light struck; the Plague Black Rats emitted miserable cries, their bodies melting like ice and snow, emitting large amounts of black Qi.

A white butterfly filled with a holy aura descended from the sky and landed gently in front of Zhang Jie.

It was like a beam of light, piercing through the continuous darkness that shrouded Zhang Jie's head.

A gentle and warm radiance enveloped her arm, which had been feeling slightly cold, and the wounds on her body gradually healed.

At this time, the white butterfly flew down, signaling for Zhang Jie to lie on its shoulder.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm told Ye Bai the information about finding Zhang Jie, and not long after the Clone left, Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors of massive size appeared.

They are Xuemo's most loyal subordinates; the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors flapped their wings and gave chase.

"Go, help me snatch back the Eternal Diva."

This was the command Xuemo issued to all the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors.

Nantianmen Fortress.

Stone lions flapped their wings and flew into the sky; their gazes were sharp, and their pupils radiated golden light, as if they could pierce through the illusions of the Phantom Crows.

In the cloud-covered sky, swarms of Phantom Crows circled in the high altitude like a surging tsunami.

Countless black feathers fell from the sky, turning into more illusions.

Their figures flickered in and out of existence, as elusive as ghosts; relying solely on the eyes of a Pet Beast Master, it was impossible to distinguish which one was the true Phantom Crow.

The Phantom Crows, capable of distorting illusions and interfering with the consciousness of humans and Pet Beasts, provided a huge obstacle for Pet Beast Masters.

When a Pet Beast Master painstakingly commanded their Pet Beast to kill a Phantom Crow, only to discover it was merely a phantom image of a Phantom Crow, it was a huge blow to morale.

The stone lions were exactly the nemesis of the Phantom Crows; their eyes could see through the reality and illusions of the Phantom Crows.

These Exotic Beasts, carved from rock, were unaffected by illusions and let out a deafening roar from their mouths.

Its body vibrated slightly, and an invisible force gathered in its open mouth, gradually forming a golden ball of light.

With the gathering of golden energy, layers of faint golden light rippled across its rock armor.

The Phantom Crows suddenly felt an unprecedented threat; their loud screeching revealed a trace of panic.

As the stone lions roared at the sky once more, massive energy shockwaves surged out from their mouths, transforming into a golden beam of light that shot straight into the clouds.

The beam of light traced a dazzling trajectory through the air, instantly striking countless real Phantom Crows.

Under the impact of the beam, the Phantom Crows' forms dissipated; this single light cannon cleared out a small portion of the Phantom Crows.

The feathers scattered in the sky drifted down like black snowflakes.

After the Phantom Crows were attacked by the Stone Lion Cannon, they scattered in all directions, and the illusions in the sky dissipated like bubbles.

At this time, some Bullet Ants emerged from the high walls of Nantianmen Fortress.

Drill-Armor Ants crawled into the bodies of the Bullet Ants, and one could only hear the sounds of bang, bang, bang.

Countless Phantom Crows, having their heads exploded by the Drill-Armor Ants, fell from the sky; the moment their bodies hit the ground, they turned into ashes.

A large amount of Blood Mist surged into the body of the Sunflower Emperor, and the Blood Flood Dragon in the Blood Pool emitted an extremely excited sound.

It felt that the most correct decision it had made in this life was signing a contract with Ye Bai; otherwise, where would it have gotten so much blood to supply its growth?

Blood Mist coiled around the body of the Blood Flood Dragon, and the entire Blood Pool was as brilliant as a fine pigeon-blood ruby.

The Blood Flood Dragon's entire body was crystalline like jade, glowing with a blood-red light, and the fleshy buds on its head were gradually sprouting, vaguely appearing as if they were about to grow into the shape of dragon horns.
