Chapter 416: What a Thick-Eyed, Bushy-Browed Fellow!

Although this wound appears large and is Bleeding incessantly, the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor is, after all, a high-tier Pet Beast, and its recovery ability is extremely strong.

The injured area soon scabbed over and fell off; something resembling granulation tissue appeared in the wound, and it healed quickly.

Before long, the damaged flesh of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor had recovered as if it were new.

This batch of Black Flea Insects died, but the next wave came again.

Countless Black Flea Insects surged out from the cavity like ants in a disturbed nest, surrounding the area like a tide, their faces filled with expressions of terror.

It seems the attack from the Giant Rock Butterfly King just now gave the Black Flea Insects a fright.

The Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's massive tooth, which would take ten people to encircle, had been hollowed out by decay, leaving only a shell.

It looked pitch-black and somewhat terrifying.

The surrounding teeth were also implicated, appearing with pits of varying sizes.

If this continues for a long time, these pits will inevitably evolve into unfathomably deep cavities, subsequently forming a collapse-like void.

Red Yang Qi appeared on Ye Bai's body, and he was seen lifting the Sun Blade and waving it gently.

A fiery red flash of Yang Qi streaked past.

A dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire pitch-black oral cavity.

The Black Flea Insects covered their eyes, emitting sharp shrieks from their mouths.

At the same time, there was a sensation of being scorched by the blazing sun.

In just a single instant, these Black Flea Insects stopped moving.

Their bodies fell apart, turning into bursts of strong acid that scattered.

He had originally wanted to keep some young Black Flea Insects for research; the speed at which these Parasites evolve is truly somewhat terrifying.

For large Pet Beasts, the number of Parasites in their bodies is also increasingly vast, and their strength is extremely high.

However, when Ye Bai saw the pitch-black, translucent eggs of the Black Flea Insects, he instantly changed his mind.

With so many Black Flea Insect eggs, they should be enough to use for experiments.

Perhaps he could even cultivate even more terrifying Black Flea Insects.

"Myriad Transformation Butterfly, collect the eggs; these eggs are excellent materials for experiments."

These eggs were attached to the tooth one by one, each the size of an adult man's palm.

The Myriad Transformation Butterfly merely waved its wings gently, and these hundreds of eggs were sucked into Ye Bai's Pet Beast Space to be sealed away.

"Let's see the cultivation results in the Laboratory later."

"If cultivated properly, Parasites can also be a subject for research."

If Parasites are used to raise Gu, I wonder what kind of Gu insects they will become.

In fact, many times, if you change your way of thinking, you will find unusual ways to solve problems.

After dealing with these little cuties, it is necessary to pull out this decayed tooth.

This decayed tooth is like a festering sore; its rotten and putrid parts have already caused the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's wound to become even more ulcerated.

It even caused the gum tissue below to swell into a mass.

Fine, this is definitely going to be a major project.

Ye Bai is somewhat distressed, wondering what method can be used to completely extract this tooth.

If only there were some beasts of burden to assist me.

Ye Bai is thinking about which of his Pet Beasts can handle this task.

The Myriad Transformation Butterfly on the side stuck out its tongue, somewhat unwillingly.

The environment here is too harsh, and the Myriad Transformation Butterfly does not really want to stay here.

Just at this moment, a cool breeze blew over from behind.

A metallic 'clang' was heard, and a black Parasite that looked somewhat similar to a mantis appeared behind Ye Bai.

However, the Myriad Transformation Butterfly transformed into a Golden Light Butterfly at this moment, blocking the Parasite's attack.

A pitch-black mantis arm broke off and stuck into the ground, with black liquid dripping from the wound.

"There is actually a Gloom Mantis here."

Ye Bai revealed an expression of surprise.

In fact, the Gloom Mantis cannot be considered a pest; it is actually a beneficial insect that specializes in feeding on carrion.

This Gloom Mantis should have been kept by the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor inside its body specifically to clear out pests for itself.

It is just unclear what reason caused the Black Flea Insects to breed on such a large scale.

Logically speaking, the Gloom Mantis should live off the Black Flea Insects; why would it indulge the unbridled growth of the Black Flea Insects?

【Name: Gloom Mantis】

【Gender: Male】

【Level: Fifth Tier, Level Five】

【Attribute: Insect/Dark】

【Trait: Shadow Lurk: Able to lurk in shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack enemies.】

【Skills: Alloy Shear (Proficient): Waving metal Zhua covered in chilling light, it slashes heavily at the opponent.

Giant Force Pincer (Proficient): Charges up power in its massive pincers, emitting a silver-white, scissor-shaped arc to attack the opponent.

Insect Chirp (Proficient): Emits a sharp, piercing insect chirp from its mouth to attack the opponent.

【Evolution Route: Dark Night Blood Mantis, absorbs the blood of powerful Exotic Beasts, evolving into an even more powerful existence.】

"A Gloom Mantis, huh."

"Sun Flower Fairy, can you enslave the Gloom Mantis?"

Ye Bai felt the Dark Mantis was quite useful; he wanted to have the Sun Flower Fairy enslave the Dark Mantis directly, and then have the Dark Mantis perform surgery on the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor.

With this beast of burden, Ye Bai would also suffer less fatigue.

However, one Dark Mantis was not enough; after all, the area of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's injury was too large.

At this moment, Dark Mantises emerged one after another.

The Sun Flower Fairy flew past them, and a white light fell onto the foreheads of the Dark Mantises, where a rune appeared.

The Dark Mantises bowed respectfully to the Sun Flower Fairy.

The Sun Flower Fairy looked at the Dark Mantises with an arrogant expression.

"Sun Flower Fairy, make the Dark Mantises follow my commands."

The Sun Flower Fairy waved her hand, and the Dark Mantises immediately lined up in a row.

"Dark Mantises, pierce the blood blisters of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor."

The Dark Mantises raised their sharp sickles in unison and slashed fiercely toward the location of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's wound.

In just an instant, the Dark Mantises were sent flying; their bodies slammed into the wall of flesh, and they were unable to move for a long time.

It seemed the Dark Mantises had the heart but lacked the strength; their prized sharp mantis arms could not break through the attack at all.

"North Star Sky Wolf Blade."

Ye Bai suddenly understood the reason why the Black Flea Insects were running rampant.

Because the Dark Mantises wanted to cultivate the Black Flea Insects to break open these blood blisters, they could only successfully evolve by absorbing the blood of high-level Exotic Beasts.

That was why they allowed the Black Flea Insects to grow and let this tooth rot and stink; they were willing to pay any price.

It seemed the impulse to evolve had already become their instinct.

Two long blades, one red and one blue, sliced through the blood blisters with great ease, and dark red blood gushed out like a spring.

The foul-smelling blood flowed all over the ground.

The Dark Mantises raised their heads like hyenas; they couldn't wait to crowd around the blood, devouring the blood of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor in large gulps.

Their bellies underwent Expansion at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning bright red.

The blood-red Blood Mist seeped directly into their bodies, causing them to undergo metamorphosis at an even faster rate.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on their carapaces, and after a few crackling sounds, a large amount of broken shell fell onto the floor, clattering all over the ground.

The Dark Mantises had evolved; their bodies had shrunk slightly, looking even more refined.

Ye Bai was slightly speechless; they evolved just like that?

But he soon understood that it was very likely these Dark Mantises were already on the verge of evolution, just one step away.

This was probably the reason why the Dark Mantises were so impatient to pierce the blood blisters and drink their fill of blood.

As the Dark Mantises transformed one after another, these guys started doing some improper things.

Mantis eggs, shimmering with blood-red, bobbed up and down in the blood.

The Dark Mantises were using the blood of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor to cultivate their own offspring.

On the surface, it was to treat the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor, but in reality, it was secretly for their own reproduction!

What a thick-browed, big-eyed fellow!

"Alright, time to work."

"First, let's pull out this decayed tooth."

"North Star Sky Wolf Blade."

Only a 'Crack!' was heard, and this decayed tooth was shattered into pieces under the attack of the North Star Sky Wolf Blade.

A large amount of tooth fragments scattered all over the ground, some even deeply embedded in the flesh, which made Ye Bai feel a chill all over.

My goodness, if this happened to his own mouth, he would definitely spiral into the sky at seven hundred and twenty degrees on the spot.

This is just too terrifying.

Just thinking about it made his spine feel cold; it was fortunate that it was only the Saber-Toothed Tiger that was injured.

Blood gushed from the ruptured area, and the Dark Mantises began their Blood Feast.

The originally swollen area recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye as the blood sprayed.

And at this moment, a fair, white tooth grew out from the originally damaged area.

Not long after, it filled the spot of the original decayed tooth.

Wang Hu and Song Fu'an saw the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's originally swollen face subside, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Bai truly did not disappoint when it came to Pet Beast treatment.

"It looks like the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor should be able to recover its health very soon."

Wang Hu said with emotion.

"Indeed, the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor has powerful attack strength; with it as security, I will feel much more at ease."

"And this guy is also the leader of the fierce beasts."

Song Fu'an said with a smile.

Not long after, Ye Bai led many Dark Night Blood Mantises out from the mouth of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor.

When Wang Hu saw the Dark Night Blood Mantises, he was instantly stunned.

Good heavens, where did this thing pop out from, and why are there so many of them?

"Don't stare, these are all parasites living inside the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's body, though they can be considered beneficial insects."

"They can gnaw on the wounds inside the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's body; the two have reached a symbiotic relationship."

"The Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor's injuries have already healed quite a bit; it will be fine after resting for a few more days."

"You all go back."

Ye Bai felt that the Dark Night Blood Mantises had limited potential, so he still planned to take them back to the Research Institute to study them.

This should count as a brand-new track.

"Lin Lin, help me check who in the Yan Country is skilled at raising Gu."

Lin Lin emerged faintly from Ye Bai's shadow; it could travel through any shadow, which could be considered a unique talent of the Paper Person clan.

"There is one, Lan Fenghuang of the Five Poisons Sect."

"She is Zhang Yuelu, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"Lan Fenghuang is very skilled at cultivating Gu insects; if you have questions you don't understand, I can arrange a meeting with her."

Ye Bai nodded: "Help me arrange a meeting with Lan Fenghuang."

"It would be best if it's within these few days."

"Once the Young Qilin Cup begins, I will start to become very, very busy."

Lin Lin floated in the air and nodded.

"Understood, I will help you contact her immediately, so rest assured."

A young girl wearing silver ornaments all over her body, with two red chain snakes hanging from her ears and bare feet, was currently executing a mission.

Just at this moment, the red chain snake beside her ear began to speak.

"Lan Fenghuang, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions is looking for you."

"I don't know if you are interested in communicating with him."

"He said he has important intelligence in his hands regarding Gu insects."

"If you are not interested, I will reject him directly."

Lan Fenghuang listened and smiled with interest.

"Let him come directly to find me."

"I happen to have a brief moment of rest right now."

"If I am interested, I will naturally go to find him."

The red chain snake acted as a mouthpiece for a short time: "It is like this, Lan Fenghuang, I have a batch of extremely special parasites in my hands, discovered from the body of another high-level Pet Beast; I don't know if you are interested."

"If you are interested, I can send a batch of insect eggs for you to study."

"I think if the two of us work together, we should be able to research new Gu insects."

After hearing the red chain snake's message, Lan Fenghuang's playful eyes rolled.

"No problem."

"Parasites, this is indeed a very new track."

"Our Five Poisons Sect really hasn't put any effort into Pet Beast parasites."

"We can absolutely cooperate."

"I still need two days to finish my current work."

Lan Fenghuang watched as one after another ferocious Titan Pythons crawled out from the ground, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Little darlings, hurry and come into sister's embrace."

"Let me plant my Gu insects in you and become puppets under my control."

On Ye Bai's side, Lin Lin quickly reported back to him regarding Lan Fenghuang's reply.

His mood was great, but the next piece of news made his face turn pitch black again.

Damn it, this is too bullying!
