Chapter 342: The Other Part of the North Star Heavenly Wolf Blade

Dundi Jieke, who had originally been like a dwarf, only needed to hear a series of crackling sounds of bones rubbing together before he instantly recovered into the appearance of a middle-aged man nearly 1.8 meters tall.

He had a full golden beard, his complexion was slightly pale, and his body was also very thin.

"It's been so long, I've forgotten what I look like."

"In order to better burrow underground, I practiced the bone-shrinking technique hard, and in the end, I became like this."

"It's absurd, isn't it?"

"Dundi Jieke is just a codename of mine; I have even forgotten what my original name was."

"After joining the organization, I was forced to erase my name."

"I really envy you people who live under the sun."

"While we can only act like rats hiding in the sewers, handling some dirty and tiring work."

"However, meeting me is also your great misfortune; you are going to die here."

Dundi Jieke snapped his fingers, and a transparent Barrier appeared all around.

This was a protective shield created by a Space Earthworm.

"I don't know why, but when I maintained my dwarf form, I was timid and fearful, yet I craved success."

"I felt like a rat in a sewer, longing for freedom."

"So I assassinated Pet Beast Masters who lived under the sun one by one."

"By the way, I once snatched a treasure from your Yan Country's Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"From then on, your Yan Country's National Destiny developed a flaw."

"However, I have never told anyone about this matter."

A look of madness appeared in Dundi Jieke's eyes.

After hearing this, Ye Bai was stunned for a moment; a treasure was snatched from the Twenty-Eight Mansions? When did this happen, and the Yan Country's National Destiny had a flaw?

At this moment, Dundi Jieke seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking altogether.

He looked around, feeling the warmth of the sunlight shining on his body.

"After I changed back to this current appearance, I became full of courage again."

"So I have decided to personally take your head and treat this place as your burial ground."

Ye Bai also felt that this Dundi Jieke was like a different person, having turned into a big chatterbox.

"Earth-burrowing Earthworm, space combination."

The ground was seen wriggling, countless dust flew in the air, and a large amount of smoke permeated the area.

Countless bodies of Earth-burrowing Earthworms emerged from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Ye Bai and the Space Pelican in a corner.

A large number of sharp teeth then emerged from these trunks that looked like tree bark.

The interlocking sharp teeth extended from the trunks like chainsaws.

At this time, Dundi Jieke's body emerged from the Earth-burrowing Earthworm, and he looked down at Ye Bai from a high position.

It was as if in Dundi Jieke's eyes, Ye Bai was like a dying man.

He was like Obito who had activated the Kamui space; those high-speed rotating sharp teeth seemed to cause him no damage at all.

"As long as any part of my body is in contact with the Earth-burrowing Earthworm, I can be immune to all damage."

"Unless you can kill me instantly, I can wear you to death alive."

"Within this space barrier of mine, even the Space King, one of the Eight Kings, would be unable to see through it."

"Naturally, you also lack such ability to break it."

"So I will cut off your head here."

A hint of smugness flashed in Dundi Jieke's golden eyes.

"This heaven-shaking great merit has finally fallen to me."

Dundi Jieke waved his hand, and the teeth of the Earth-burrowing Earthworm rushed toward Ye Bai from all directions like chainsaws.

A crisis suddenly appeared, and it was clear that the space for Ye Bai to move was becoming smaller and smaller.

However, Jieke did not see the corners of Ye Bai's mouth lift slightly.

Just at this moment, the Space Pelican slammed its wings.

Streaks of silvery-white light flashed by.

The body of the Earth-burrowing Earthworm was torn to pieces in mid-air.

However, not a single drop of blood seeped out from it.

The Earth-burrowing Earthworm was like a puzzle cut into countless pieces; it was still alive, but every part of its body could not move.

Dundi Jieke, however, escaped the disaster.

But when he saw the Earth-burrowing Earthworm cut into countless wriggling fragments, he was completely stunned.

"This is a space spell exclusive to angels; why is your Pet Beast able to learn it?"

Dundi Jieke could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

"How could my Pet Beast not be able to learn such a simple spell."

Ye Bai boasted deliberately.

In fact, the Space Pelican had really studied for a long time before it learned this Great Cutting Art.

After the Earth-burrowing Earthworm's body is cut, it can quickly split into brand-new individuals.

But after the Space Pelican used the Great Cutting Art, although the Earth-burrowing Earthworm was cut into countless pieces, it was in fact still alive.

It was just scattered into fragments.

The Earth-burrowing Earthworm's ability to split into individuals relies on the rapid healing of wounds.

But after using the Great Cutting Art, the Earth-burrowing Earthworm's body was not injured; it was merely being separated by space.

Therefore, the ability of the Burrowing Earthworm was completely nullified.

This directly shattered Dundi Jieke's greatest reliance.

Dundi Jieke felt that at this moment, he was like a bird trapped in a cage.

He had trapped himself inside.

"Dundi Jieke, if you have any other tricks, use them all at once."

If it weren't for the Space Pelican learning the Great Cut, Ye Bai might have had to spend a great deal of effort to finish off the Burrowing Earthworm.

"Hmph, come out, Clay Puppet Giant."

The ground trembled gently, and countless sharp stone spikes shot out violently.

However, the target of these stone spikes was not Ye Bai, but rather the severed body of the Burrowing Earthworm.

"Hahaha, as long as the Burrowing Earthworm is injured, it will naturally split into countless individuals."

"When that time comes, the skill used by your space Pet Beast will naturally fail."

Dundi Jieke's idea was good, but the Space Pelican's speed was faster.

Its beak reached deep into the void, and a beating heart was plucked out by the beak.

Embedded within the heart was a large crystal core, radiating rich spatial energy.

This was the heart of the Burrowing Earthworm, and also its control core.

"Thanks, I'll accept it."

Seeing the Space Pelican open its large mouth, it completely swallowed the heart.

The pierced body of the Burrowing Earthworm suddenly turned into black ash.

Dundi Jieke looked at the black ash filling the sky and was instantly stunned.

His strongest Pet Beast, the Burrowing Earthworm, had been finished off just like that? "Actually, it is very simple for me to deal with your Pet Beast; I only need to crush its core."

"Alright, it's time for you to go on your way."

Before Dundi Jieke understood what that meant, and before falling into darkness, Dundi Jieke saw his own head fly into the air.

The headless body fell heavily to the ground, and the space that had been blocked was restored.

Because the Pet Beast Master was killed, the items placed in the Pet Beast Space also burst out.

The Clay Puppet Giant was also severely injured, its body half-crouched on the ground.

After being injured, its body would automatically turn into the state of a stone statue, and it would only move again after its body recovered. The Clay Puppet Giant's body was covered with a large number of cracks; it was unknown how many days it would take for it to recover.

Just at this moment, Ye Bai saw an ancient wooden box.

He suddenly had a strong premonition that he wanted to get his hands on the wooden box.

Could it be that this was what Dundi Jieke had snatched from the Twenty-Eight Mansions?

But why would this thing attract him?

"Space Pelican, help me get that wooden box."

A sliver of silver-white flashed through the Space Pelican's eyes, and the wooden box instantly arrived in Ye Bai's hands.

He could faintly feel that the object inside the wooden box was very important to him.

It was like a bird long separated from its home, returning to its nest.

His hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, but Ye Bai did not see a wound.

The moment Ye Bai got his hands on the object, the National Destiny of Yan Country began to soar directly.

The entire Qi Luck Hall emitted a rumbling sound.

The Qi Luck Hall was composed of a large array, formed by the combination of the Twenty-Eight Mansions Array, the Twelve Earthly Branches Array, and the Four Symbols Array.

And the Qilin Marshal resided in the depths of the Qi Luck Hall year-round, suppressing the National Destiny of Yan Country.

Ever since the Twenty-Eight Mansions star signs began to become unstable, the Qilin Marshal had been stationed here year-round.

This time, it directly alarmed the Qilin Marshal stationed in the Qi Luck Hall.

"What exactly happened?"

The Qilin Marshal asked his subordinate.

It was Di Tuhao who was on duty in the Qi Luck Hall at this time.

"Marshal Qilin, the Twenty-Eight Mansions Array has experienced a tremor."

"It seems that a Soul Weapon has returned to the hands of a person from Yan Country."

"The originally dissipating National Destiny has instantly stabilized a lot."

"At the same time, quite a bit has overflowed, which is what caused the entire Qi Luck Hall to vibrate incessantly."

Di Tuhao said very respectfully.

"A Soul Weapon has returned?"

The Qilin Marshal was overjoyed.

The Soul Weapons of the Twenty-Eight Mansions must be held in the hands of people from Yan Country to be effective.

Sixteen years ago, it was precisely because another part of the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade disappeared inexplicably that the Qi Luck Hall experienced turmoil.

This also resulted in the Qilin Marshal being stationed in the Qi Luck Hall for ten months out of the year.

The Beichen Sky Wolf Blade is a dual-wielded weapon, mainly divided into two parts: the Sun Blade and the Moon Blade.

And what disappeared inexplicably sixteen years ago was precisely the Sun Blade.

"It seems the Sun Blade must have fallen into the hands of a person from Yan Country."

"We will search for this person's whereabouts with all our might; he will become the new Kuimulang."

Soul Weapons choose their masters; only those who care for Yan Country and have a kind heart can gain the recognition of a Soul Weapon.

At this moment, the Qilin Marshal revealed a happy smile.

"The National Destiny of Yan Country has risen once again; we are bound to see more talent emerge."

"By the way, how is the global Researcher Competition going?"

"What stage has it reached?"

"Those people are the elites we cultivated; we cannot allow them to fall in Beautiful Country."

Di Tuhao took out a communicator to check: "The competition is currently nearing its end. Everyone else has been eliminated, and only Ye Bai remains on Huangdao."

"His results in the first two rounds ranked first. If he achieves good results in the third round, he will basically have secured the championship throne."

Upon hearing this, Qilin Marshal was overjoyed: "We must reward the contestant representing our Yan Country properly."

After Poison Widow and Juren Yoke arrived here, they discovered the headless corpse of Dundi Jieke.

"I didn't expect Dundi Jieke to actually die. He, who mastered the Earth Escape technique, died so easily."

"The danger level of this person, Ye Bai, must be re-evaluated."

"Juren Yoke, we must join forces to face the enemy this time."

Poison Widow had also considered asking Anjilina for help, but currently, the entire small island was sealed off by the Space King, and no one could break through the Space King's blockade.

Moreover, this would expose their incompetence; once they returned to the organization, they would certainly face harsh punishment.

Thinking of this, Poison Widow had no choice but to dismiss the idea.

"Let's continue to pursue him; we must kill Ye Bai here."

Ye Bai was leading Poison Widow and Juren Yoke around as if he were walking a dog.

Until they reached the vicinity of Binghuo Quan.

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

This place was permeated with white fog so thick one could not see their own fingers; ordinary people entering the white fog would easily lose their way.

However, this could not stump Ye Bai; he waved his hand, and the yawning Water Qilin Beast appeared.

"Let's go, Water Qilin Beast, guide me to a path leading to Binghuo Quan."

The Water Qilin Beast was the weakest Pet Beast in Ye Bai's possession, but it was an auspicious beast, after all.

As long as the Water Qilin Beast was willing, Ye Bai could walk to Binghuo Quan with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Poison Widow and Juren Yoke also chased to Binghuo Quan.

Looking at the white fog filling the sky, Juren Yoke looked at Poison Widow.

His sense of direction was poor, and in this kind of scene, it was basically useless.

"In such heavy fog, my Highly Toxic mosquitoes' wings will soon be covered in water, and they won't be able to fly fast."

"Unless I can form a mosquito plague, but if that happens, by the time we find Ye Bai, my Highly Toxic mosquitoes will basically have no combat effectiveness left."

Poison Widow bit her lip tightly; she was racking her brains on how to find Ye Bai's whereabouts without losing too much combat power.

"If only Dundi Jieke were still alive; he could have completely detected Ye Bai's current location."

Dundi Jieke could dive underground and listen to footsteps from a thousand meters away; he was clear about every single movement.

He was effectively the eyes of the entire squad.

As a result, such an important support member was killed by Ye Bai.

Poison Widow took a laptop out of her Pet Beast Space and also took out a ball-like device.

She tapped on the computer with both hands.

Countless reconnaissance balls the size of a thumbprint appeared.

"These are the reconnaissance balls Anjilina gave me when I left."

"It can map a radius of ten miles."

"However, Juren Yoke, don't hold too much hope; the probability of being able to map a place filled with white fog like this is very, very small."

Poison Widow pressed the final Enter key.

The reconnaissance balls immediately began to act, and the computer started to draw a map.

However, the map stopped moving completely very quickly, which meant the reconnaissance balls were completely damaged.

"This is just a piece of junk."

Juren Yoke punched a rock, smashing it directly into powder.

"I observed the map of the entire Huangdao before I came."

"This area seems to be a valley. If I am not mistaken, after Ye Bai goes there and reaches a dead end, he will definitely return along the same path."

"Juren Yoke, shall we take a gamble? After all, we don't have any better options right now!"
