Chapter 51: Evolution of the Thousand-Change Silkworm
Dahui's Lijua pierced the chest of the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor, pulling out a heart slightly larger than a basketball.
The heart was still pulsing.
A rich fragrance wafted out; after Ye Bai smelled it, he immediately felt refreshed, as if every cell in his body were cheering and leaping for joy.
This must be the legendary blood essence.
Afterward, Dahui found the crystal core of the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor, as well as a dozen white, transparent stones that shone like diamonds.
Ye Bai picked up the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor's crystal core to examine it; it looked just like a fine pigeon-blood ruby, and waves of immense energy surged from within it.
He then picked up the diamond-like stones; these stones were two centimeters in diameter, and Ye Bai could feel a massive amount of mental power.
These must be the crystal cores of the mutated Blood-Violent Rat Kings; the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor likely killed them and used their vast mental power to mask its own aura.
He never expected to obtain the greatest harvest of this Beast Tide himself.
As the flesh and blood of a Tier 4 Exotic Beast, it could also fetch a high price on the black market.
Ye Bai hurriedly took out a treasured space card; this was a high-level card left behind by his parents, containing a space of about two meters.
He stuffed the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor's corpse, the blood essence, and the crystal cores into it all at once.
Ye Bai became the biggest winner of this Beast Tide.
"Sunflower King, collect all the crystal cores of the Blood-Violent Rats and use the flesh and blood of the Blood-Violent Rats to multiply yourself with all your might."
After Ye Bai issued this order through the sunflower on his hand, he followed Dahui and left the area.
The dust settled; after the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor died, the Beast Tide ended completely.
On the other side, President Wang's Steel-Armored Rhinoceros slammed heavily into the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor.
From just a moment ago, this Blood-Violent Rat Emperor seemed to have lost its sanity, leaving only its bestial nature.
Its sharp Lijua pierced through the Steel-Armored Rhinoceros's impenetrable defense.
The Steel-Armored Rhinoceros instantly entered a poisoned state.
Its four hooves went soft, and it knelt to the ground.
"Oh no, the Steel-Armored Rhinoceros has entered a poisoned state."
President Wang felt that things were looking bad.
Just as the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor intended to deal a lethal blow, a black shadow descended from the sky.
Its sharp bird beak pierced directly through the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor's body, plucking out a pulsing heart from within.
However, after only a few seconds, this heart turned directly into blood-red liquid and dissipated completely.
Even the massive body of the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor turned directly into a pool of blood.
This made everyone feel it was unbelievable.
President Wang walked up to meet them, his face filled with excitement.
He saw an acquaintance sitting on the back of a Storm Crow.
"Secretary Li, did President Zhang send you to support Jiaying City?"
Secretary Li jumped down from the back of the Storm Crow in a dashing manner: "President Wang, I apologize, I am late."
"On the way here, I encountered obstruction from mysterious individuals."
"This time, not only Jiaying City, but four or five cities across Yandong Province have erupted in Beast Tides. President Zhang must hold down the fort at the Pet Beast Association; he could not get away, so he could only send me here."
At this moment, the Sunflower King crept toward the place where the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor had turned into pus and blood.
It could feel that if it could absorb the flesh and blood essence, it would surely bring itself great benefits.
"Storm Crow, kill all the Blood-Violent Rats here."
The Storm Crow flapped its wings violently, and endless Gale mixed with numerous transparent Wind Blades roared toward the direction of the Blood-Violent Rats.
Wherever it passed, all the Blood-Violent Rats fell to the ground one after another; each had a thumb-sized blood hole in the center of their brows, and blood was flowing out continuously.
"President."
Wang Shi walked over in a hurry.
"It's bad, we discovered another tunnel connecting to the surface."
"I'm afraid a portion of the Blood-Violent Rats has escaped."
President Wang waved his hand: "No fear, the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor has already been slain."
"The Lengdong Cangku has been saved; in this Beast Tide, the remaining Blood-Violent Rats cannot stir up any trouble."
At this time, President Wang's secretary came running over with a patter of footsteps.
"President, the Secret Realm has been completely closed, and the coordinates of the Secret Realm have been located by us."
"As long as we bury a space stone in the Secret Realm, this Secret Realm will become the property of our Jiaying City Pet Beast Association."
"The Burrowing Rats inside will become the best targets for our association members to train against."
This was indeed good news; after all, that Secret Realm possessed the complete evolutionary chain of the Burrowing Rats.
The rest was the work of cleaning and tidying up.
However, how should so much Blood-Violent Rat flesh and blood be handled?
The flesh and blood of the Blood-Violent Rats all contained Highly Toxic, which ordinary Pet Beasts could not digest.
Zhang Lingxue saw the sunflower that was absorbing blood and splitting itself, and she immediately had an idea.
"Since the sunflower can absorb the flesh and blood essence of the Blood-Violent Rats, let's have the sunflower handle it."
"I will take the multiplied sunflowers back to the Xuexiao Mijin."
"Otherwise, once the flesh and blood of the Blood-Violent Rats rot and stink, it might cause unpredictable effects on the entire ecology of Jiaying City."
After President Wang heard Zhang Lingxue's words, he nodded and waved his hand: "Let's do as Teacher Zhang says."
More and more sunflowers were seen walking out of the warehouse one after another; they plunged their roots into the flesh and blood and began to absorb it.
As for the Blood Cores of the Blood-Violent Rats, no one mentioned them at all; the incredibly chaotic consciousness within the Blood Cores made them a hot potato.
Not a single Pet Beast Master present suggested collecting the Blood Cores on the spot.
All they wanted now was a good bath to wash away the pervasive stench of blood.
Before long, the Sunflowers had cleaned the surroundings thoroughly; the pungent smell of blood vanished, leaving only a faint floral fragrance.
Under the arrangement of the Sunflower King, the Sunflowers surged underground, where the bulk of their cleanup work lay and where they had the best opportunity to propagate.
"Leave a few people here to keep watch; if there are any issues, report them as soon as possible."
"Everyone, let's patrol Jiaying City once more to ensure no stray Blood-Violent Rats have escaped."
The only thing President Wang worried about now was that the Blood-Violent Rats might have secretly slipped into the Jiaying River and begun to multiply.
However, after killing the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor and ending the Beast Tide, it would become quite difficult for the Blood-Violent Rats to advance in rank.
It would not be so easy to form another Beast Tide.
President Wang fought through his exhaustion and led the members of the Pet Beast Association on a patrol, where they actually found a group of fleeing Blood-Violent Rats; after killing them, President Wang announced that this Beast Tide had completely ended.
The newborn sun pierced through the dawn, and the sunlight shone on everyone's faces.
Although they were extremely exhausted, they had won and successfully defended Jiaying City.
The cleanup work for this Beast Tide would still take some time, including tidying up the environment and settling the frozen goods in the Lengdong Cangku.
They also had to collect personnel information and comfort the affected citizens.
However, Ye Bai paid no attention to any of this.
What he was most concerned about right now was the evolution of the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
Following the detailed information provided in the intelligence, he brought out the prepared evolution materials.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm looked very interested; it immediately jumped onto the Blood Cores and began to devour them one by one, *crunch, crunch*.
Every time it swallowed one, a wisp of blood-red mist emanated from its body.
After all the crystal cores were consumed, Ye Bai had Dahui slice open the heart of the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor.
This heart was still beating, and with every beat, a drop of blood the size of a thumb dripped from the rupture.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm ate nine drops in total before letting out a big burp, and a clear look of sleepiness appeared on its face.
Blood-red silk threads were spat out from the mouth of the Thousand-Change Silkworm, and it soon formed a giant cocoon.
Only then did Ye Bai discover that the crystal core of the Blood-Violent Rat Emperor had vanished.
Holy crap, my huge crystal core, how did it just disappear?
Begging for votes, begging for votes.
