Chapter 67: Alright, Second Pet Beast, It

Did the Clone dissipate?

Does this have anything to do with the Baibian Can completely losing its stamina?

Ye Bai's mind is currently full of questions.

The evolved Baibian Can is very powerful, but does it still have the ability to devour crystal cores and learn skills?

These are all things Ye Bai needs to think about and put into practice.

After losing its opponent, the Blood Poison Moth stopped its rhythm of attack; it hovered in mid-air, looking honest, well-behaved, and cute.

It didn't even dare to breathe, terrified of being slapped into a pulp by Dahui.

"Since the Baibian Can is tired, let the Baibian Can rest for now."

"Blood Poison Moth, come back."

The Blood Poison Moth turned directly into a stream of light and entered the Beast Card; even the Blood Poison Moth that had been knocked to the ground was no exception, quickly patting its butt and leaving—not even reincarnation has such speed.

"It just so happens that tomorrow is the day of the arena tournament, so let the Baibian Can have a good rest."

"It also hasn't been long since it evolved."

Ye Bai's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Baibian Can, you have grown up.

"Dahui, tidy things up; I'm going back to the Breeding House to organize my experimental records."

This evolutionary path of the Blood Gu Butterfly is quite important; it is equivalent to instantly giving a peak First-Rank Baibian Can the combat power of a Fourth-Rank.

If it could be mass-produced, the overall strength of the Yan Country would certainly be able to improve significantly.

However, there are three bottleneck points here.

The first is whether the mysterious Gu poison that Zhang Lingxue brought back can be mass-produced.

The Wan Gu Butterfly relied precisely on the mysterious Gu poison to successfully evolve.

One thing Ye Bai finds a pity is that the Wan Gu Butterfly was taken away by Zhang Lingxue just after it finished evolving.

Otherwise, he could have used instruments to test the approximate data of the Blood Gu Butterfly to have a better idea in his mind.

The second is that the Blood Gu Butterfly requires tons of Fourth-Rank Exotic Beast meat to fully evolve.

Ye Bai hasn't tried whether other Fourth-Rank Exotic Beast meat would also work, or if it must be the meat of the Blood Rampage Rat Emperor.

The third is whether the initial foundation-laying step is a critical, necessary one; if it is a critical step, then there must be a Pet Beast capable of stopping the Baibian Can from Self-Destructing.

It must also be able to eliminate the side effects on the body caused by the body's Expansion before the Baibian Can's Self-Destruct.

The Sunflower King also only accidentally learned the Blood Sucking skill after absorbing a large amount of flesh and blood.

So, although the Blood Gu Butterfly was researched, it is full of many wonderful coincidences.

To successfully replicate it is not that easy for the time being.

When doing experiments, one must achieve reproducibility.

That is to say, if others follow your same steps to conduct the experiment, and it can succeed once in ten experiments, it counts as having achieved reproducibility.

After all, in Pet Beast research, a miss is as good as a mile; it might be because of the individual differences of the Pet Beasts that the evolution goes wrong.

That is why international organizations have set this standard for reproducibility.

"I guess the teacher won't be free these next few days."

"Otherwise, I could have asked the teacher where this mysterious Gu poison came from and if there is any stock left."

"Then let's wait until after tomorrow's arena tournament is over to conduct the reproducibility research."

"The remaining Baibian Can don't have any Pet Beasts that can evolve into Blood Poison Moths or Blood Gu Butterflies; I still have to go to the Baibian Can breeding base to pick some out."

The silk of the Baibian Can can be used to make clothes, so there are large breeding bases raising many Baibian Can.

Ye Bai must find the commonalities among these Baibian Can that can evolve into Blood Poison Moths or Blood Gu Butterflies so that the reproducibility experiment has a possibility of success.

He returned to the Breeding House with Dahui.

Now the perimeter of the Breeding House is surrounded by a large number of sunflowers, which is very distinctive.

This has also attracted many students to come and buy the Flower Nectar of the sunflowers.

It is night now, and the flower bud parts of the sunflowers are emitting starlight-like rays of light, just like little nightlights.

During the day, they absorb the light of the sun, and at night, they glow.

Usually, they adjust the softness of the light according to the brightness level that suits them best, so that it is not too dazzling and does not affect others.

The plaque on the Breeding House was cleaned until it was spotless, and the various facilities inside the house were also cleaned until they were spotless.

Returning to the Breeding House to find cooked meals waiting—perhaps this is the feeling of home.

However, when Ye Bai stepped into the Breeding House, he discovered that besides the two little snow dogs, there were several more pitch-black little dogs in the Breeding House.

These black little dogs were covered in dirt, and pitch-black footprints were stepped onto the clean floor, leaving a series of footprints.

Ye Bai's fists tightened, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Looking at Dahui's sheepish grin, how could Ye Bai not understand? Dahui had picked up more Pet Beasts again.

Seeing Ye Bai's gloomy face, Dahui hurriedly retreated several steps to the side.

What an astonishing aura; it was as if a golden-yellow rage was spreading out from Ye Bai's body.

If there were a combat power detector, the values on the lens would be jumping in numbers of ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand.

Just as Dahui was thinking of greasing its paws and leaving, Ye Bai had already silently picked up a frying pan.

At this moment, Ye Bai's lion's roar reached Dahui's ears: "Dahui, you damn thing, you picked up Pet Beasts again."

Bang, bang, bang! Awoo! The quiet night was filled with one miserable howl after another from Dahui.

Dahui was beaten until its face was bruised and swollen with bumps, and there were two large frying pan imprints on its face.

It was lying on the ground, covering its large Zhua and crying "ying ying ying."

It cried until its snot and tears were all smeared together, looking quite unsightly.

Ye Bai knew that Dahui had thick skin and flesh; as a Tier 4 Pet Beast, how could it possibly be hurt by the attack of an ordinary human like himself?

It was feigning weakness to let Ye Bai vent his anger, thereby allowing the Pet Beast it had picked up to stay at the Breeding House.

This had always been Dahui's tactic.

Ye Bai forgave Dahui time and time again, yet it pulled this stunt on him over and over.

He felt angry just thinking about it.

Unable to hold back any longer, Ye Bai rushed up, twisted Dahui's ears, and roared, "Dahui, I've told you not ten thousand times, but at least a few thousand, haven't I?"

"Do not pick up stray Pet Beasts and bring them back to the Breeding House."

"Why won't you listen? Don't just pick up random stray Pet Beasts; they might carry bacteria."

"Besides, without quarantine certificates, they are essentially undocumented."

"If someone from the Quarantine Bureau comes to inspect, we'll be in serious trouble; don't harbor any wishful thinking."

"Especially now that we've moved to the school entrance to do business, we must be even more careful to avoid such problems."

"Otherwise, our reputation will plummet."

Dahui secretly lamented; usually, as long as it put on a pitiful look, Ye Bai would soften his heart.

Why wasn't it working this time?

Ye Bai lectured Dahui for a full hour, talking until Dahui, this two-hundred-pound fat chinchilla, looked like it wanted to bury its head under its neck.

By the end, it felt its ears buzzing, just like Sun Wukong listening to the Tight-Fillet Spell from the Tang Monk.

Dahui's eyes were dull; as for what Ye Bai had said, it could no longer remember, only seeing Ye Bai's mouth opening and closing.

Never again, it really wouldn't dare next time.

Dahui had deeply repented and realized its mistake.

Seeing that Dahui had a look of remorse, Ye Bai finally let it off.

He carefully examined these little black dogs.

Faint white steam radiated from their bodies; this was because they contained high temperatures within.

From time to time, black ash shook off their bodies onto the ground, making the floor even dirtier.

They were all filthy, and there was nothing on them to prove their identity, confirming these were Pet Beasts abandoned right after birth.

If Ye Bai remembered correctly, this was a rare Pet Beast called a Charcoal Puppy.

This type of Pet Beast looked similar to a Doberman from the real world and already had a complete evolutionary path.

Charcoal Puppy — Fire Dog — Magma Flame Dog; following this evolutionary path, it could evolve into the Tier 5 Pet Beast, Magma Flame Dog.

It could run on ground covered in magma as if it were flat land and could also spit magma from its mouth to attack enemies.

However, among these six Charcoal Puppies, Ye Bai discovered one that possessed a second evolutionary path.

【Name: Charcoal Puppy】

【Gender: Male】

【Personality: Mischievous】

【Attribute: Fire】

【Level: Tier 1 Peak】

【Skills: Fire Seed (Proficient): Spit out countless Xianghuo to attack enemies.

Black Fog (Proficient): Spit out a large amount of black fog mixed with dust from the mouth to confuse the enemy's vision; combined with any Fire-type skill, it can form an air explosion with astonishing power.

Lijua (Proficient): Use sharp Zhua to attack enemies.

Sprint (Entry): Increase one's own speed.

Bark (Entry): Through loud roaring, make the opponent feel fear; has a certain probability of intimidating the opponent.】

【Evolutionary Path 1: Fire Dog: Tier 3 Fire-type Crystal Core *5, a place with dense fire aura.】

【Evolutionary Path 2: Gloom Dog: Soul Crystal *1, Hellfire *1, Tier 4 Fire-type Crystal Core *5, Tier 4 Ghost-type Crystal Core *5, Pet Beast strength reaches Tier 3 Peak, at the intersection of the netherworld, in the gap between life and death, born from death, only then can it welcome a new life.】

Holy crap, this guy's second evolutionary path is a bit badass.

What kind of Gloom Dog is this? Isn't this just the initial form of a Hellhound?

The guide and guardian of the underworld, a super badass existence.

It's just that these evolution materials are hard to find.

Tier 4 Fire-type Crystal Core *5, Tier 4 Ghost-type Crystal Core *5; just looking at this, you couldn't get it for less than tens of millions.

And it has to be at the intersection of the netherworld; does such a place exist on Earth?

As for the later part about the gap between life and death and being born from death, Ye Bai could read the words separately, but put together, he didn't know what they meant.

It seems he still reads too little and lacks experience.

Ye Bai secretly made a decision to first read all the books in the Shenshan Middle School library.

And then, before graduating high school, read all the books in the Jiaying City library.

One only regrets having read too little when the time comes to use it; knowledge reserves must be sufficient.

Alright, the second Pet Beast is decided to be you.

Begging for votes, begging for votes, starting to contract the second one; as for why it isn't Dahui or the Sunflower King, the explanation is in the next chapter. The first-day sales of this book were 683, so I owe everyone four extra chapters.
