Chapter 311: Evolution of the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm

The Highly Toxic Caterpillar spits silk quickly, forms a cocoon quickly, and breaks out of its shell quickly as well.

Not long after, the cocoon was eroded by purple Poison Mist, and the figure of the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly appeared.

Unlike ordinary butterflies, when it broke out of its pupa, its wings were not still tightly pressed against its back, requiring it to wait for the wings to dry before it could fly in the air.

The Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly spread its wings and flew in mid-air, exuding an aura as domineering as an emperor.

Its massive compound eyes were like the brightest stars in the dark night, or like mandalas from Hell, flickering with a soul-captivating light.

The huge purple wings were covered in profound patterns; a rough glance at this Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly showed it was not simple.

However, this Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly was cultivated by Ye Bai, and it possessed an indescribable sense of intimacy toward Ye Bai.

【Name: Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly (Queen)】

【Gender: Female】

【Attribute: Poison/Bug】

【Level: Sixth Rank, Level 5】

【Skills: Poison Cloud Entanglement (Proficient): Sprays a highly toxic poison cloud; the poison cloud will rapidly spread out.

Poison Sting (Proficient): Fires poison stings containing lethal toxins from its mouth; every poison sting carries a toxin that kills upon drawing blood.

Highly Poisonous Butterfly (Proficient): Can split into Highly Poisonous Butterfly Clones to attack opponents.

Highly Poisonous Cloud (Proficient): Summons a Highly Poisonous Butterfly Clone to attack opponents by self-destructing, creating a massive poison mist shockwave.

Poison Hurricane (Entry): Erupts all the poison gas in its body to attack enemies.】

【Evolution Route 1: Gu Queen, a super rare species bred after the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly Queen devours the monarchs of other highly toxic races.】

"Damn, even a Gu Queen has appeared."

Ye Bai had originally intended to give the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly to Zhang Lingxue, utilizing Zhang Lingxue's special talent to command more butterfly-type Exotic Beasts.

But Ye Bai felt this might overlap with the Poison Dragon Butterfly.

One mountain cannot hold two tigers, unless one is male and one is female.

And since both the Poison Dragon Butterfly and the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly were female, it would be very easy for disputes to arise if they were kept together.

When that time came, it would be difficult to handle.

Moreover, this fellow could even evolve into a Gu Queen, which meant its potential was enormous.

Therefore, Ye Bai was moved by the idea of keeping this fellow for his own use.

The Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly gently flapped its wings.

Ye Bai was not worried at all that Sun Bing would take the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly away.

Because according to the laws of Yan Country, for a Pet Beast cultivated in a breeding competition, one could add an equivalent amount of resources or money to take the Pet Beast away.

Unless the Breeder did not want this Pet Beast, it was absolutely forbidden for anyone to snatch it.

Otherwise, it would violate the laws of Yan Country.

As the leader of this preparatory group, Sun Bing shouldn't be that stupid.

After the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly finished evolving, Ye Bai pressed the button to end the competition.

He used a Beast Card to take the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly back.

Ye Bai cooperated to have the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly undergo a full-body physical examination to determine its level, size, appearance, combat ability, and so on.

When this data was transmitted to Mo Xin, he was instantly dumbfounded.

"My god, an Exotic Beast like the Highly Toxic Caterpillar was solved by Ye Bai just like that."

"If he doesn't die, I won't feel at ease."

"I'm afraid he might be another Zhang Lingxue, an existence that suppresses an era."

"The lineage of Su Qingxian cannot produce another monster."

"Sun Bing, when necessary, you can send people to assassinate Ye Bai."

After Sun Bing heard Mo Xin's words, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Didn't this guy just say earlier that they couldn't pull any tricks to cause Ye Bai an accident?

Now he had skipped the accident phase entirely and wanted to send people to assassinate Ye Bai—my god.

Sun Bing was instantly in a state of confusion.

This time, Ye Bai appeared with a 100% first-place result.

The second and third places could only look at his back.

Helpless, Sun Bing had no choice but to announce the results in public and watch helplessly as Ye Bai took the Highly Toxic Monarch Butterfly away.

【1. The world's 998th-ranked assassin, Sword-Wielding Clown, will assassinate you at 6:00 tomorrow evening; his talent is being skilled at turning humans into ragdolls.】

【2. The location of the Lava Dragon Turtle holds a deeply hidden Lava Heart, but this Lava Heart has not been found by the Lava Dragon Turtle; otherwise, the Lava Dragon Turtle could have advanced to the Ninth Rank through this Lava Heart.】

【3. The core of a Gargoyle is buried in blood-soaked ground; it will gradually change the Gargoyle, causing it to evolve into a Fifth Rank Pet Beast, the Bloodthirsty Gargoyle. They live on blood, and their weakness is light-attribute attacks, but when a Gargoyle is in its statue state, it can resist light-attribute attacks and slowly improve its own strength.】

【4. There is a peculiar Exotic Beast that looks like a horn and has various gems embedded in its spiral shell, called a God Conch; it is the evolution of a Holy Conch. It has no attack power and will appear randomly in some place. Its food is various crystal cores and ores, while its excrement is high-concentration crystals or high-purity metal. The God Conch will appear in Nantianmen Fortress; once it enters a camouflage state, it will become devoid of presence.】

【5. It is best for the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm to evolve into a Ten-Thousand-Change Butterfly on the night of a full moon; this way, the success rate of the evolution will be the highest.】

At night, Ye Bai looked at the bright moon in the sky and released the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm from the Pet Beast Space.

The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm looked all excited.

It was preparing to evolve.

Now it only lacked the final push.

Ye Bai took the Ten-Thousand-Change Stone out from his Pet Beast Space.

The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm swallowed it in one gulp, then looked at Ye Bai with an expression like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, having not tasted anything at all.

"Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm, stop while you're ahead. If you eat more Ten-Thousand-Change Stones, you'll get indigestion, and it might also affect your evolution."

The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm nodded; it gently spat out strands of transparent silk from its mouth, wrapping its body tightly.

The bright, clear moon gathered upon the Myriad-Change Silkworm, and its cocoon turned silver-white.

Back during the process at Nantianmen Fortress, Ye Bai had already let the Blood Pool undergo a rebirth for all his Pet Beasts.

In any case, the energy in the Blood Pool would go to waste if not used, and Xuemo Dubo still had an inexhaustible Blood River there.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm's body trembled incessantly, beating like a heart, emitting a thumping sound.

Ye Bai summoned the Nether Wolf and the Spirit of the True Dragon.

"The Myriad-Change Silkworm is preparing to evolve; help me keep watch."

"I'm going to take a little nap first."

It was too much; having just returned from Nantianmen Fortress, he was called back again—even a horse would need a rest.

The sound of the Myriad-Change Silkworm's heartbeat improved the quality of Ye Bai's sleep quite a bit.

The sun rose, and golden light filtered through the sparse clouds, spilling into every corner of the campus.

In the flower beds, dew shimmered on the petals, as if it were the night's final lingering attachment.

The fragrance of flowers mixed with the scent of soil added a touch of vitality to the campus.

When the first ray of golden morning sun fell upon the cocoon formed by the Myriad-Change Silkworm, the insect cocoon absorbed all the sun's radiance.

Not long after, the Myriad-Change Butterfly broke out of its pupa.

It possessed three pairs of wings.

One pair of wings radiated golden light, representing the sun.

One pair of wings radiated silver light, representing the moon.

And another pair of wings radiated star-blue light, representing the stars.

The color of its wings changed constantly. The Myriad-Change Butterfly seemed capable of transforming its own attributes at any time.

【Name: Myriad-Change Butterfly】

【Gender: Male】

【Personality: Gluttonous】

【Level: Tier 6, Level 1】

【Mastered Skills: Silk Spinning (Proficient), Steel Transformation (Proficient), Impact (Skilled),

Mimic Clone (Skilled) (Innate Talent Skill): The Myriad-Change Butterfly can split into six clones that possess physical form. These six are controlled by the Myriad-Change Butterfly. As the skill proficiency increases, the number of clones the Myriad-Change Butterfly can split into will also increase. Each time it splits into clones, it consumes the Myriad-Change Butterfly's stamina.

Attribute Transformation (Skilled): The Myriad-Change Butterfly can arbitrarily transform into any attribute it has mimicked.】

【Evolution Route 1: None yet; will only be displayed after the Myriad-Change Butterfly reaches Tier 7.】

The Myriad-Change Silkworm had finally become a Myriad-Change Butterfly.

It really was not easy at all.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly split into several clones that flew high in the sky, constantly transforming its attributes, though in the end, it felt that its original appearance seemed better-looking.

"Congratulations, Myriad-Change Butterfly, you have evolved."

Ye Bai congratulated the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The smile at the corner of the Myriad-Change Butterfly's mouth was so wide even an AK couldn't suppress it.

Very good; now its strength could be considered top-tier among the Pet Beasts of the freshmen.

As long as it didn't provoke any big shots, it could walk sideways without worry.

"Very good, Myriad-Change Butterfly, you have successfully evolved. Now, we may have to return to Nantianmen Fortress."

However, since his grandmaster Zhang Dashan had granted him three days of leave, he could only head to Nantianmen Fortress via the teleportation array after staying at Imperial Capital University for three full days.

If he were to ride his Pet Beast to Nantianmen Fortress, by the time he arrived, the opportunity would have long since passed.

Ye Bai took this opportunity to get his hands on the Crown of the Dead.

The Crown of the Dead was an item made from a white skull.

It could forcibly control undead-attribute Exotic Beasts for one's own use.

However, every time this Crown of the Dead subdued an undead-attribute Exotic Beast, it would overdraw a massive amount of mental energy.

Therefore, without a suitable Exotic Beast, this Crown of the Dead was essentially a useless trinket.

Just as Ye Bai was admiring the Crown of the Dead, a butterfly emerged from Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space.

It flapped its wings with extreme agility in the air, while circling Ye Bai a few times.

"The Invitation Letter for the Hidden Dragon Auction House—I almost forgot about this."

"Since I cannot enter Nantianmen Fortress through the teleportation gate for these two days, I might as well go to the Hidden Dragon Auction House to watch the fun."

"After all, that is the fun belonging to the poor Blood Saint Child."

"Since the Crown of the Dead is a useless trinket to me, I wonder if it can be auctioned off through the Hidden Dragon Auction House."

"Come, open the gate to the Hidden Dragon Auction House for me."

Ye Bai said to the butterfly.

The butterfly immediately transformed into a stream of light and charged into the void.

Not long after, a massive butterfly-shaped spatial gate appeared.

Ye Bai stepped inside.

The surrounding space underwent a transformation between reality and illusion.

Once Ye Bai passed through the spatial gate, he arrived in a desolate place.

On the barren earth, yellow sand filled the sky, and the rolling sand dunes resembled the spine of an ancient giant beast.

The sun hung in the boundless sky, its scorching rays mercilessly baking the earth, and the scent of scorched soil permeated the air.

There were no traces of life here; only weathered rocks and withered grass stems proved that a world had once existed.

Occasionally, a Gale swept by, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

What a desolate and dilapidated place.

Just as Ye Bai was curiously looking at all of this, the black butterfly appeared once again.

It signaled for Ye Bai to follow it and continue walking forward.

After passing through layers of sand dunes, Ye Bai finally arrived at a magnificent and resplendent place.

The exterior of this building looked like a ferocious dragon skeleton.

The black butterfly then transformed into a stream of light and submerged into the center of Ye Bai's brow.

Before long, Ye Bai was wearing a black hooded cloak, and a butterfly-shaped mask covered his face.

Even on the nameplate, it was written as Butterfly Mr.

This hooded cloak seemed capable of concealing one's aura; now, even the person most familiar with Ye Bai would be unable to discover that the person before them was Ye Bai.

Inside the auction house, the lighting was soft and elegant, refracting the unique luster of every exhibit.

Upon stepping into this spacious hall, one could feel a thick sense of art spreading throughout.

Ancient paintings hung on the walls, their frames meticulously carved, revealing the traces of time.

The auction platform stood in the center, with spotlights casting down from above, landing on the podium carved from black lacquered wood.

On the podium, the auctioneer was wearing a crisp suit, announcing the names of one auction item after another in a steady and powerful voice.

The auction seemed to have already begun; he appeared to have arrived late.

Following the directions, Ye Bai arrived at a private room.

The private room had good privacy, making it difficult for one's identity to be discovered; even during the winter break, one would bid using the pseudonym on the nameplate.

In the surrounding audience seats, people conversed in low voices, occasionally emitting soft laughter or gasps of amazement at some treasure.

In a corner of the hall, a long table covered with Down Sheep was placed.

The Down Sheep is an Exotic Beast domesticated by humans; as long as it is given sufficient food, the fur on its body will grow back rapidly.

Several staff members were busy recording and assisting buyers.

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, one precious treasure after another found its next home.

Ye Bai also took this opportunity to acquire suitable auction items.

One was the Ocean Heart, which was of great benefit to Water-type Pet Beasts.

One was a Tier 6 Sun Stone, which was very effective for the Sunflower Emperor.

As the number of auction items decreased, everyone was anxiously waiting for the appearance of the finale item.

Just at this moment, a young lady dressed in a bunny girl outfit appeared.

In her hands, she held an exquisitely crafted tray.

The tray was lined with blue velvet, and an exquisitely crafted box was placed upon it.

The host signaled for the young lady to set down the tray in her hands, then picked up the microphone to introduce it to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone."

"This is our penultimate auction item, and it is the renowned inheritance of the Blood Saint Child."

"For the inheritance of the Blood Saint Child, we are adopting a method where the highest bidder wins."

"Of course, we will have a measurement standard, so please pay attention, everyone."
