Chapter 350: The Hundred-Eyed

The entire Research Institute was deathly quiet; even though Ye Bai made his footsteps as light as possible, they sounded exceptionally harsh in this tranquil environment.

Aside from the sound of his footsteps, even the sound of Ye Bai's heartbeat and breathing were infinitely amplified.

The floor was covered in dust and some draft papers filled with formulas; even in the corridor, there were skulls wearing lab coats, which showed that the evacuation of the Research Institute had been extremely hurried.

At this moment, Ye Bai noticed that there was actually an inverted cross logo on the lab coats.

He was very familiar with this logo; it was the logo of the Hell-Worshipping Cult. He had not expected this Research Institute to have even a sliver of a connection to the Hell-Worshipping Cult.

This was an organization even more evil than the Resurrection Society or the Illuminati.

The members of that organization were a bunch of lunatics whose ultimate desire was to become gods, to become Zhengshen in the heavens.

Things like humanity and morality did not exist in their hearts at all.

In order to achieve their goals, this group of people would stop at nothing.

The Holy Light from the Clone of the Sunflower Emperor shone, dispelling the darkness in this area.

After walking only a few steps, a fork in the road appeared.

On both the left and right paths, there were things that seemed to be wriggling in the darkness.

Judging from the memories transmitted by the Clone of the Dark Butterfly King and the Clone of the True Light Goddess Butterfly, the Hundred-Eyed was right ahead.

With the help of the Truth Eye, Ye Bai saw the appearance of the Hundred-Eyed clearly.

To be precise, the Hundred-Eyed had more than a hundred eyes; it was like a massive vine densely covering the entire passageway.

Countless eyes converged on the vine, looking quite creepy.

These eyes were either open or closed, and all of them were bloodshot.

They looked curiously toward the place filled with light, but just as they wanted to see what was going on, their eyeballs were scorched by the Holy Light, emitting wisps of dense black smoke.

If it weren't for the fact that these eyes had no mouths, they might have already let out shrill screams.

【Name: Hundred-Eyed】

【Gender: Agender】

【Attribute: Wood/Holy】

【Level:???, Indescribable Object】

【Skills: Hundred-Eyed Gaze (Proficient): Hundreds of eyes will stare at the prey in unison, locking onto every part of the prey's Soul.

Hundred-Eyed Curse (Proficient): When its gaze falls upon the prey, the seeds of the curse will silently land on the prey's body. When the first eye grows on a certain part of the prey's body, the curse will erupt completely. At this time, no medicine can cure it; one can only personally gouge out the extra eyes.

Hundred-Eyed Laser (Proficient): Fires a lethal laser from the eyes. Once hit by the Hundred-Eyed Laser, one will instantly enter a state of Petrification.

Hundred-Eyed Entanglement (Proficient): The body of the Hundred-Eyed is as flexible as a python; it can tightly bind its prey.

Regeneration (Proficient): As long as it has not suffered fatal damage, the Hundred-Eyed will continue to regenerate, though the newly grown eyes are slightly delicate and cannot be stimulated by strong light.

Division (Proficient): After suffering fatal damage, the Hundred-Eyed will immediately sever the damaged part; this is also when the Hundred-Eyed is at its most vulnerable.】

【Evolution Route 1: To be discovered.】

【Evaluation: The Hundred-Eyed is hailed as an indescribable object. It has no level distinction; as long as one finds something that counters it, an ordinary human can make it vanish into thin air. In fact, its roots are the true body of the Hundred-Eyed. It hides its roots, and ordinary people cannot discover its true body. After refining the true body, it can form Soul Treasure Liquid, which provides an additional Contract Slot.】

After seeing the final evaluation, Ye Bai's eyes lit up. This ugly thing could actually increase Contract Slots?

It is common knowledge that a Pet Beast Master's Contract Slots are fixed, generally numbering nine.

Only a few people with special talents have a number of Pet Beasts exceeding nine.

Ye Bai had already consumed treasures that increased Contract Slots; now Ye Bai already had eight Pet Beasts and could not continue contracting in the short term, but the Hundred-Eyed's Soul Treasure Liquid gave Ye Bai another opportunity.

An opportunity to sign a contract in advance.

It was just unclear how much Soul Treasure Liquid one Hundred-Eyed could refine.

If there was excess Soul Treasure Liquid, could he sell it or give it to his master or grandmaster?

The hideous-looking Hundred-Eyed became pleasing to the eye in Ye Bai's view.

The Hundred-Eyed's abilities were quite strong, but they were still within a range Ye Bai could accept.

Its ability only officially activated after seeing a person.

So what if the Hundred-Eyed saw a mirror?

Would its curse act upon itself?

Would it have an effect on the Hundred-Eyed's true body? Ye Bai's mind was filled with many questions; he really wanted to get to the bottom of it.

It would be best to conduct an experiment himself, dissect the Hundred-Eyed, and examine its physiological structure.

"Come out, Water Qilin Beast, use Water Mirror."

The Water Qilin Beast was released by Ye Bai; it looked full of energy.

After Ye Bai's careful feeding, its body had developed quite a bit, growing from the size of a puppy to the height of a pony.

After coming out of the Pet Beast Space, it immediately sensed a breath of disgust.

This place was filled with ominousness and misfortune; staying in this place for a long time would cause a person's spirit to become abnormal.

Water flowed out from the Water Qilin Beast's body.

After the Water Qilin Beast used Water Mirror, it formed a transparent water wall in front of Ye Bai.

When the Hundred-Eyed heard the sound of footsteps, countless eyes surged out from the passageway.

They were greedily looking at Ye Bai, wanting to completely devour his Soul.

The Hundred-Eyed began to stare at Ye Bai, its gaze falling upon Ye Bai's body.

The curse overflowed from their eyes, like strands of black mist swirling in mid-air.

Just when the Hundred-Eyed thought its curse had been successfully released, those black mists actually turned around in mid-air and plunged straight into the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed.

Having released the curse upon itself, the Hundred-Eyed was also stunned for a moment. But the curse had already been cast; even for itself, there was no possibility of retracting it.

Affected by the curse, the Hundred-Eyed's vines grew a large number of eyes.

Eyes of all sizes were stacked together, numbering at least a thousand.

So many eyes looked toward Ye Bai at the same time, and suddenly there was a feeling of hair-raising horror.

Ye Bai could feel the aura on the Hundred-Eyed body beginning to strengthen suddenly.

It seemed to have broken through.

At this moment, a mouth slowly split open beneath one of the eyes.

"Human, thank you."

A hoarse voice came out from this mouth.

"I might be the first Hundred-Eyed to promote into a Thousand-Eyed."

"I can feel the gift from the heavens to me, and I also have the opportunity to advance into a Thousand-Eyed Emperor."

"To be able to evolve into a Thousand-Eyed by casting a curse upon oneself is simply an inconceivable thing."

After the Hundred-Eyed evolved into a Thousand-Eyed, it suddenly gained intelligence.

"As a reward, I have decided to turn your Soul into a part of my body."

"You will coexist with me for all eternity."

"Then watch me rule the entire world; I will enslave all humans and then plant eyes on their bodies."

The Thousand-Eyed said with extreme smugness.

Beams of black laser light shot out from the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed.

As long as Ye Bai was hit by the laser, he would automatically enter a state of Petrification, and even his Soul would be taken away by the Hundred-Eyed.

But the Thousand-Eyed, having just gained intelligence, still did not realize the existence of the water mirror created by the Water Qilin Beast.

This was also the reason it was able to evolve into a Thousand-Eyed.

The moment the black laser hit the water mirror, it was reflected directly back along its original path.

The eyeballs that fired the lasers burst one after another, and black liquid spilled all over the ground.

"Why did my skill reflect back? What kind of talent are you using?"

The eyeball that had grown a mouth said this sentence with difficulty.

Its body was also hit by the black laser, and it began to Expansion rapidly, bursting like a small bomb, and black liquid smeared the entire wall.

"Sunflower Fairy, the task of capturing the Thousand-Eyed rhizome is left to you."

The Sunflower Fairy emerged directly from the tips of Ye Bai's hair.

It pointed at the Clone of the Sunflower Emperor, and after the Clone received the instruction, it stretched out its rhizomes one after another.

They were greedily absorbing this black liquid, and dots of azure blue radiated from their bodies.

Not long after, the numerous Clones gathered together; they used their rhizomes to insert directly into the ground, and then pulled a grayish rhizome the size of a basketball out of the soil.

This was the main body of the Thousand-Eyed.

A large number of eyes appeared on the main body, just like a potato that had grown eyes.

Although the appearance did not look very outstanding, the things inside its body were rare treasures.

Ye Bai suddenly felt as if he were a plague of locusts, digging wherever he went.

The Weeping Angel statue was like this, and even the Thousand-Eyed was uprooted by him.

It was simply crazier than the Three-All policy.

Zhubinuo Boshi arrived at a room at the end of the Banan Suo.

This was a secret base he had built himself.

At this time, his pupils had already turned white.

A holy mark appeared on his forehead.

There was a large map of the Research Institute here, and even what unspeakable objects each area possessed were marked clearly.

In a Culture Dish to the side, there was actually still a Hundred-Eyed eyeball.

This eyeball was actually still alive.

"Back then, in order to prevent me from saving Ailisha, those people deliberately released many relics of old gods and unspeakable objects."

"To block me from returning to the Research Institute."

"For so many years, I have been researching these unspeakable objects and the relics of old gods."

"In order to figure out the characteristics and weaknesses of these unspeakable objects, I have basically spent half my life collecting information."

"The Hundred-Eyed loathes strong acid, and if it looks directly into a mirror, it will fall into a curse itself."

"The Acid Horn must use an acid-resistant coating."

"No matter how many times the body of the Iron Triangle Executioner is destroyed, it can instantly recover."

Zhubinuo Boshi repeated this over and over, and he also intended to take advantage of this chaos to save the Steel Dragon and his wife.

"The Branch President just came over not long ago, so he shouldn't come again for a short time."

"Everything is entrusted to you, Dementor."

"Transform into my appearance."
