Chapter 404: Big-Mouthed Demon

However, a steel fork cannot break a specially made cage.

The steel fork collided with the tempered glass and instead bounced off, nearly hitting the Speed Demon.

This made the Speed Demon so angry it wanted to jump up.

As the gravity in the room began to increase, the Speed Demon felt its body becoming heavier and heavier.

It gritted its teeth hard, intending to hold on, but in the end, it still couldn't endure it, crashing headfirst from the air onto the ground, landing in a bloody mess.

"Take this opportunity to capture the Speed Demon and collect its relevant data."

Ye Bai gave a few instructions to the researchers nearby.

The Speed Demon's massive bat wings were pressed tightly against the ground, and it bared its teeth in a snarl.

Demons have bodies of steel and iron, even if the Speed Demon fell from such a height.

The researchers hurriedly operated the robotic arms to capture the Speed Demon and injected it with a sedative.

After the sedative was injected, the previously agitated Speed Demon calmed down.

Its consciousness was clear, but it was unable to move.

There was also a large iron chain restraining the Speed Demon's movements.

The researchers' gazes toward the Speed Demon became incredibly fanatical; this was walking performance.

They had no way to deal with the lightning-fast Speed Demon, but now the Speed Demon was restrained on the operating table.

If they couldn't handle it now, they shouldn't show their faces to anyone.

"Begin the drug tests."

"Begin the electrical tests."

The researchers began various tests in full swing, while the Speed Demon silently shed tears of regret; it might be the most miserable Speed Demon to ever live.

"I'll leave this Speed Demon to you; I only need the results."

"I'm going to see how to deal with the Big-Mouthed Demon."

Ye Bai shoved his hands into his pockets and Depart with the Demon Bear.

The Big-Mouthed Demon was a full two meters tall, and its appearance looked just like a large sea urchin.

It possessed two thick arms and no feet, so it had two ways of moving.

One was to use its hands in place of feet to walk, and the other was to Curl its body into a ball and move by rolling.

It had a large mouth filled with Sharp Teeth.

After seeing this demon, Ye Bai felt a sudden sense of emotion; if you removed the spikes from this guy and added two simple, honest-looking eyes, damn, isn't this just a Geodude?

"How is the current research progress?"

Ye Bai asked the researchers.

"We have tested many methods so far, but none can open the Big-Mouthed Demon's hard outer shell."

"Whether using gravity, fire, or electricity, it seems none of it has the slightest effect on the Big-Mouthed Demon."

Everyone reported to Ye Bai.

"See that mouth?"

"I think as long as we make this guy open its mouth, perhaps everything can be solved easily."

The mouth was the Big-Mouthed Demon's lifeline; it would never open its mouth except when eating.

So, under Ye Bai's instructions, the researchers placed a small rabbit into the room.

At this moment, the Big-Mouthed Demon made a move; it suddenly grinned, revealing its mouth filled with Sharp Teeth.

A large tongue emerged from its mouth.

Ye Bai actually saw an eye inside the Big-Mouthed Demon's mouth.

【Name: Big-Mouthed Demon】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Metal/Dark】

【Characteristic: Indestructible; as long as it keeps its mouth closed, there are many things in the world that cannot trouble it.】

【Level: Fifth-Order Peak】

【Skills Mastered: Steel Strengthening (Proficient): An Indestructible body that becomes even harder; it uses the steel spikes on its body to inflict damage on opponents.

Earthquake Wave (Skilled): Uses its powerful hands to hammer the ground heavily, creating a violent Earthquake Wave; opponents hit will fall into a dizzy state.

Dagger-Tooth Barrage (Proficient): Fires Sharp Teeth as sharp as daggers from its mouth to attack opponents; the moment the teeth hit, the opponent's Soul will fall into a state of intense pain.

Steel Bones and Iron Muscles (Skilled): Its hands are its most powerful weapons; its fists can break hard stone slabs with a single punch.

Heavy Punch (Skilled): Uses its spike-covered fists to slam into the opponent, accompanied by a gravity effect.

Sea Urchin Defense (Entry): When encountering a fatal attack, the spikes on its body will undergo Expansion, just like a sea urchin.】

【Evolution Route 1: None yet.】

【Evaluation: It is a twisted creation, a plaything created by a demon god of the Abyss; its weakness is the eye inside its mouth.】

The Big-Mouthed Demon's feeding time was very short, but Ye Bai managed to capture the eye inside the Big-Mouthed Demon's mouth using the cameras in the room.

"This eye is very likely the Big-Mouthed Demon's lifeline. I think we should find a way to make the Big-Mouthed Demon swallow prey injected with poison to see if we can destroy the Big-Mouthed Demon."

The researchers immediately followed the method Ye Bai provided and attached C4 explosives to a small white rabbit.

After the Big-Mouthed Demon swallowed the small white rabbit, the C4 explosives immediately detonated.

At this moment, the Big-Mouthed Demon's body suddenly began to undergo Expansion, just like an inflated balloon.

Its flesh and blood burst open with a bang, and black demon blood splattered across the entire space.

????

Damn, how was the Big-Mouthed Demon taken out so easily?

This is unscientific.

Many researchers were slightly speechless.

"Everyone, please pay attention."

"Demons are not invincible; they possess various weaknesses. Even the strongest demon has weaknesses."

"There remain the Fire Demon, Ice Demon, and Poppy Demon; please continue to overcome them."

"I have other experiments to conduct on my end, so I will excuse myself for now."

Ye Bai still had to extract the genes of the Speed Demon and inject them into the demon egg.

He wanted to cultivate a powerful demon.

"Actually, Ye Bai, I feel your current approach is putting the cart before the horse."

"You don't need to modify demons; instead, use demon genes to modify other Pet Beasts."

"Do you know how the Demon Bear was researched?"

"It was by injecting the genes of a Winged Demon into the body of an Earth Bear that our race came into existence."

"Occasionally, after some Demon Bears evolve, they become Earth Flying Bears."

The Demon Bear offered a suggestion to Ye Bai.

"Demon Bear, that suggestion of yours is not bad."

"I think I'll try using the Winged Demon's genes; if I inject them into a Wind Leopard, I wonder if the Wind Leopard could grow a pair of demon wings."

Ye Bai remembered that there were some Wind Leopards in the Laboratory used as test subjects, which could be used for the experiment.

"Demon Bear, there is one thing I am quite curious about: will Exotic Beasts that possess demon bloodlines be controlled by Demon Monarchs?"

Ye Bai's words made the Demon Bear roll its eyes: "Isn't that a waste of breath?"

"But it's fine for now; with the Crystal Wall blocking them, even a Demon Monarch cannot enter the plane of Blue Star."

"However, it's hard to say once the Crystal Wall shatters."

"But I think this is a direction you could also research to see if you can cultivate powerful Exotic Beasts."

"I heard that in Tianjie, they are currently fusing the genes of angels with other Exotic Beasts to form new Pet Beasts."

"The Goddess of Life built a brand-new incubation pool that can create various types of troops; it is said that most of the troops in Tianjie are hatched from the incubation pool."

After hearing the Demon Bear's words, Ye Bai became interested in genetically modifying Exotic Beasts.

This was also a new method.

"Come to think of it, I really haven't injected demon genes into the bodies of Exotic Beasts before; this is indeed a good track."

"But is there anyone in the country who is also conducting such research?"

Ye Bai called Su Qingxian directly, wanting her to point him in the right direction.

Ye Bai wanted to gain some insights based on the research of his predecessors.

The call connected quickly, and after explaining his intentions, the Grandmaster smiled and said: "There are very few researchers studying Demonology in Yan Country, so don't even think about it; what kind of good thing could fall to you?"

"Demons don't appear often in Yan Country; it's been so long, and they only just reached number seventy-five in the illustrated guide."

"Moreover, demons are extremely vicious, and ordinary researchers dare not study this area; they are also afraid that if something goes wrong, trouble will come knocking."

"But abroad, there are many; because many foreigners worship demons, they feel that demons are the true nature and are much more useful than hypocritical angels."

"Therefore, the Demon Worship Cult, the Luciferian Cult, and so on appeared."

"Among them, there was a bishop of the Luciferian Cult who was skilled in demon modification."

"However, this bishop suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day."

Su Qingxian sighed.

"The Luciferian Cult is a civilian organization; their Pope is a very good person, and I have had a friendship with them for over a dozen years."

"It is said that when that bishop disappeared, it almost turned into a crime of passion, but it was clarified later."

"The Demon Notebook in his possession also went missing, which is a pity."

"Ye Bai, your idea is very good, and I will support your work."

"Injecting demon genes into Exotic Beasts to gradually change them is a great idea, but I don't think you should be too hasty; the most important thing right now is to research the weaknesses of demons."

"I am still conducting angel research here and it is not convenient for me to go over for the time being; if you have anything, just call me directly."

At this moment, a broadcast sound came from the other side of the phone: "Academician Su Qingxian, please proceed to Area A4."

"Sorry, someone is looking for me, so I will tell you this much for now."

After speaking, Su Qingxian hung up the phone.

In fact, Ye Bai felt his idea was a bit rash.

The main reason was that Exotic Beasts might not necessarily be able to withstand the power of demons.

It is possible that if demon blood were injected into the bodies of these Exotic Beasts, they would instantly explode and die.

So Ye Bai planned to use a method: starting from the beginning, by editing the genes of the Speed Demon and injecting them into the eggs of the Wind Leopard.

The advantage of having manpower was that Ye Bai didn't need to do these things himself; there were a bunch of researchers scrambling to do it.

After all, this plan was proposed by Ye Bai; if they did well, Ye Bai would give encouragement, and if they didn't, Ye Bai wouldn't say anything.

Before long, under a high-definition microscope, a needle directly pierced the cell wall of the egg, injecting the genetic material from the syringe into it.

This time, Ye Bai chose twenty Wind Leopard eggs; after each one was successfully fertilized, they would be placed separately, and the researchers would check the status of the fertilized eggs every hour.

Once they turned into hydatidiform moles, the experiment would be terminated immediately and the moles destroyed.

This step was very tedious and required great patience; the researchers spent ten hours just to process this batch of fertilized eggs.

This work lasted from the afternoon until the early morning.

【1. The electronic data for the book Demon Notebook is stored in a secret mailbox on the Dark Web. Demon Notebook is the most comprehensive notebook in the world, containing many records about demons, as well as the bishop's experimental records on the demonization of Exotic Beasts.】

【2. The bishop's corpse is buried in the ZitengshanYiji. He was killed by the demon he had painstakingly researched. This type of demon is adept at disguising itself as thorns and lurking underground; its characteristic is the appearance of hook-like barbs on its body.】

【3. The genetic fusion rate between the Storm Hawk and the Winged Demon is extremely high; the Storm Demon Hawk developed from it may be even faster, more bloodthirsty, and possess extremely strong combat power.】

【4. Poppy Flower Demons do not distinguish between good and evil; they only possess the desire to attack. They treat their prey as flower fertilizer, burying them deep underground. Purgatory Fire is the nemesis of the Poppy Flower Demon.】

【5. The strength of Fire Demons and Ice Demons is quite formidable, but they are each other's nemesis. The flames of a Fire Demon can threaten an Ice Demon, and the ice flames of an Ice Demon also have a restraining effect on a Fire Demon.】

This system is truly good to him.

It even revealed such important intelligence to him.

The Bishop's Demon Notebook is very valuable; the electronic version of the materials was actually stored in an ordinary mailbox on the Dark Web.

Ye Bai took out his computer, entered the path provided by the system, and successfully obtained the Demon Notebook.

And the first page of this material had this sentence written on it.

【I am a failure, and I am also a success. I am coveting the Abyss, and the Abyss is also coveting me. In the process of researching demons, I am sinking deeper and deeper; perhaps I will become a demon.】

【Note: The words of a demon cannot be trusted, otherwise you may fall into a demon's trap. Demons are Exotic Beasts that never keep their word.】

The handwriting became increasingly sloppy toward the end; it is evident that this was written in a hurry.

It seems the Bishop was warning him that in the process of researching demons, he was eroded by demonic power; he might have been transformed into a demon and is continuing his research in some corner of the world.

As Ye Bai flipped through the Demon Notebook, more and more images of demons appeared before his eyes.

【A demon's power comes from pleasing the Abyss. The more the Abyss is pleased, the more supplies will descend. This is the way demons survive, so they focus primarily on slaughter.】

【Is there a way for me to inject demon genes into cute Exotic Beasts, allowing the Exotic Beasts to be born with demon bloodlines? This way, the recovery ability of the Exotic Beasts would become stronger.】

【I do not know if my idea is actually useful.】

The Demon Notebook was filled with the Bishop's rambling.

Ye Bai also saw more demons in the notebook.

There is the Gale Demon, a type of demon similar to a harpy, except this type of demon is only male.

They possess pitch-black wings on their bodies and are able to manipulate the power of storms.

The Gale Demon's favorite method is to grab its prey, take it to a high altitude, and then drop it.
