Chapter 48: Opportunity

Ye Bai sneaked back to a spot not far from the Lengdong Cangku and hid in a concealed location.

From this place, he could clearly see the scene over at the Lengdong Cangku.

Blood-Violent Rats were pouring out one after another, though the number was smaller compared to just a moment ago; it was likely that a portion of the Blood-Violent Rats had burrowed underground under the lead of the Rat Emperor.

At this moment, he saw that a quarter of the Lengdong Cangku was emitting a silvery-white metallic luster.

Ye Bai immediately understood the intention of the Pet Beast Association.

They wanted to increase the weight of the entire Lengdong Cangku, turning it into a heavy metallic substance.

The Lengdong Cangku originally held over a thousand tons of frozen goods; if the weight of the Lengdong Cangku were increased further, it would be equivalent to a giant rock weighing several thousand tons.

If the foundation below were hollowed out or if an earthquake occurred, the Lengdong Cangku would plummet downward under the force of gravity.

In this way, the spacious underground tunnels dug out by the many Blood-Violent Rats gathered by the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor would become their graves.

However, Ye Bai wanted to use this opportunity to collect a large number of Blood Cores.

If he missed this village, he wouldn't find this shop.

Since the hint system had already provided the evolutionary path for the Thousand-Change Silkworm to evolve into a Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Ye Bai felt that this was an opportunity.

Although the Sun God Butterfly sounded very domineering by name, it was precisely because it was too domineering that Ye Bai worried that evolving into a Sun God Butterfly would be the end of the line.

That would waste the Thousand-Change Silkworm's terrifying talent for the Devour skill.

Ye Bai had a vague premonition that if the Thousand-Change Silkworm evolved into a Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm, its strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds; this should be the correct evolutionary path for the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

"Come out, Sunflowers."

Ye Bai took out Beast Cards one by one and released a portion of the Sunflowers.

These Sunflowers were all equivalent to Clones of the Sunflower King.

Ye Bai spoke to the Clones, and the main body of the Sunflower King could hear him as well.

"Sunflower King, manipulate the Clones you have split off, hunt more Blood-Violent Rats, and seize the crystal cores within their bodies."

"Absorb the flesh and blood essence of the Blood-Violent Rats and accelerate the progress of your reproduction."

After the Sunflower King heard the command, its body gradually expanded.

It completely lifted its restrictions and began to absorb the flesh and blood essence of the Blood-Violent Rats unscrupulously.

The tyrannical aura remaining in the flesh and blood essence had no effect on the Sunflower King.

With sufficient flesh and blood, the Sunflower King split off a large number of Clones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wasn't long before it caught the attention of the Pet Beast Association personnel.

"Report to the President, many Sunflowers have grown on the outer perimeter ahead for some reason."

"Should we eradicate the Sunflowers?"

The Sunflower is a very common wood-type Pet Beast, and almost every household keeps a pot as an ornamental plant.

This kind of Pet Beast only needs sunlight and water to be very easy to raise.

At night, the Sunflower releases the sunlight it absorbed in the morning, just like a desk lamp.

This was why the Pet Beast Association personnel were able to discover Ye Bai's Sunflowers.

"Emmm, the appearance of the Sunflowers is also an unstable factor."

"How about..."

President Wang was just about to order the eradication of the Sunflowers when Zhang Lingxue suddenly spoke up to interrupt.

"President Wang, those Sunflowers are the Pet Beasts of my student. He left the Sunflowers here to better resist the impact of the Blood-Violent Rats and to contribute his own strength to Jiaying City."

"It seems the effect is quite good so far."

Zhang Lingxue's words were so obvious that President Wang instantly understood what she meant.

Since they were friendly forces, then let them stay.

At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that the number of Blood-Violent Rats was decreasing.

Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What on earth is going on?"

The Pet Beast Association personnel looked at each other in dismay; could there be some conspiracy?

"Let me explain."

"Sunflowers are the nemesis of Blood-Violent Rats. Don't let their harmless appearance fool you; their stems are as hard as steel."

"Someone once saw a second-tier Sunflower the size of a millstone in the wild. Because of road construction, they dug up the Sunflower intending to transplant it elsewhere, and they saw the white bones of numerous burrowing rats entangled beneath the Sunflower's roots."

Zhang Lingxue walked out from the side and explained to everyone.

Because she had provided emergency treatment to many Pet Beast Masters and expelled the Highly Toxic substances from their bodies, she had won the favor of many Pet Beast Masters.

Therefore, Zhang Lingxue's words were trusted by everyone.

It was just that Zhang Lingxue was a bit puzzled as to how the number of Sunflowers had increased so drastically in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Zhang Lingxue also discovered that the Blood-Violent Rats did not dare to approach the places where the Sunflowers were located.

Her eyes lit up instantly; she had found a way to defend the Lengdong Cangku and repel the Blood-Violent Rats.

As long as the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor could be killed, the entire Blood-Violent Rat tribe would be leaderless, making it convenient for the people of the Pet Beast Association to defeat them one by one.

"Everyone, please look, the Blood-Violent Rats are intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the places where the Sunflowers are located."

"This shows that the Sunflowers can emit a scent that the Blood-Violent Rats find extremely repulsive."

"If we could surround the Lengdong Cangku with a circle of Sunflowers, wouldn't we be able to prevent the Blood-Violent Rats from entering the Lengdong Cangku to the greatest extent?"

"In this way, we will be able to finally annihilate the Beast Tide."

"Our Jiaying City will also be able to return to its former peace."

Clap, clap, clap.

President Wang walked out from behind: "Teacher Zhang, your observation skills are quite sharp. Now there is a problem, which is how to possess enough Sunflowers to Guard the Lengdong Cangku."

"Moreover, to face the second-rank Blood-Violent Rats, there should be a sufficient quantity of second-rank Sunflowers."

"Otherwise, relying solely on the current Sunflowers, it is simply not enough to surround the Lengdong Cangku."

"Unless the current scale of the Sunflowers can be expanded several times over."

At present, Ye Bai is also considering the problem of expanding the scale of the Sunflowers.

Since the Sunflower King is not a Pet Beast contracted by Ye Bai, he cannot yet achieve a connection of minds.

Dahui walked over with a thud-thud-thud, holding a huge flowerpot in its hands, which surprisingly contained Sunflowers brought over from the Breeding House.

They all emitted a bright radiance, like little suns.

Where could there be enough Sunflowers?

Let me think.

Ye Bai's brain began to operate at high speed.

"Right, I remember now, in the school's Secret Realm, for the sake of landscaping, a Sunflower field was planted inside the Secret Realm."

This was also because, before contracting a Pet Beast, Ye Bai had nothing to do and wandered through the entire Secret Realm; otherwise, he would not have discovered that sea of blooming Sunflowers.

However, the Sunflowers there are basically all second-rank, so facing second-rank Blood-Violent Rats should not be much of a problem.

Ye Bai's Sunflower King is third-rank and has a rank suppression over second-rank Sunflowers.

If operated well, it is bound to be possible to obtain the evolution materials for the Thousand-Change Silkworm to evolve into a Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm in one go.

Begging for votes, starting from tomorrow, updates will resume at noon.
