Chapter 79: I'm not human, you're really a dog!!!

The Mandragora pulled from the soil had a plump, white baby-like figure beneath its green leaves, its entire body white and covered in mud.

Excluding the fact that it was humanoid, Ye Bai truly felt this thing was just a large white radish grown in a mold.

I wonder what beef brisket with Mandragora tastes like.

Ye Bai swallowed his saliva.

Not long after the Mandragora was pulled out, its eyelids began to tremble; it revealed red eyes, opened its big mouth, and wailed.

Its mouth was filled with sharp teeth, and waves of piercing, ear-splitting sound spread out.

This ferocious appearance frightened the classmates nearby.

"The Mandragora is so ugly, so scary, I don't want this Mandragora anymore."

The classmate jumped and hopped away.

Just at that moment, a Wind Sparrow flew by in the air.

After it heard the Mandragora's crying, it felt as if its head had been struck by a hammer with a buzz.

It crashed to the ground, its pupils continued to dilate, fresh blood seeped from the Wind Sparrow's mouth and nose, and its body kept twitching; it looked like it was about to die.

After a while, the Wind Sparrow stopped breathing.

Damn!

Seeing this Wind Sparrow, the size of a fist, die right in front of him, Ye Bai finally felt the terror of the Mandragora's cry.

The meat of the Wind Sparrow is very tender, and it is good at flying, usually being extremely cunning, yet it was killed by the Mandragora's cry.

Is this called "waiting for the bird by the herb"?

Ye Bai looked into the air and found there were still many Wind Sparrows around, but the Mandragora was crying too loudly, scaring the Wind Sparrows away.

The Wind Sparrow in front of me isn't enough to fill the gaps in my teeth.

Looking at the Mandragora in his hand screaming as loudly as a cicada, Ye Bai suddenly had an idea.

So Ye Bai gathered Qi in his dantian, and with a *puchi*, he shoved the Mandragora back into the soil upside down.

Wherever it was pulled from, it was shoved back into.

Mandragora!!!!

Truly not a human son!

Ye Bai's eyes stared fixedly at the Wind Sparrows in the air.

The Wind Sparrows flapped their wings, and clusters of wind condensed under their wings, so their speed was extremely fast.

They came without a shadow and left without a trace; if not for Ye Bai's Insight Eye, which was constantly observing the Wind Sparrows' flight trajectories, he really would have had no way to discover them.

As expected of the Exotic Beast reputed to be the hardest to capture, it is also a delicacy.

Don't look at how small the Wind Sparrow is; its fat content is quite high, so you don't even need oil when roasting it over an open flame.

As the flames scorch it, the fat gradually turns into oil that emits a rich fragrance, and its bones are crispy.

Ye Bai was also lucky enough to have eaten it once.

It is said that the Iron Chicken Kingdom even treats the Wind Sparrow as a national delicacy.

Because it is so delicious, there is an unwritten rule when eating Wind Sparrows: one must cover their head with a cloth to avoid others seeing their unsightly appearance.

When a Wind Sparrow approached Ye Bai, Ye Bai pulled the Mandragora out.

At the same time, in order to make the Mandragora cooperate with him, Ye Bai actively pulled off one of the leaves from the top of the Mandragora.

The Mandragora only felt a sharp pain strike, and it opened its throat and howled.

I am not human, you are truly a dog!!!

The Wind Sparrows approaching Ye Bai fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, they had no sound.

At this time, the Mandragora was shoved back into the soil again.

Mandragora!!!!

After repeating this several times, the Wind Sparrows had learned their lesson and no longer approached this area, so Ye Bai sheepishly put down the Mandragora.

The leaves on the top of the Mandragora's head were almost plucked clean by Ye Bai.

It looked listless, heart-tired, let it be destroyed.

When the Mandragora and Ye Bai's gazes met, Ye Bai understood the Mandragora's helplessness.

It didn't cry or make a scene, just looked at Ye Bai with its big, rolling eyes, looking like it was at his mercy.

Looking at the Mandragora he had handled properly, Ye Bai simply decided to use this guy as the raw material for this competition.

At this moment, Ye Bai saw a gray mist attacking in his direction.

And the gray mist was becoming denser and denser.

Could this be the Mandragora King?

Ye Bai felt a joy in his heart.

The Mandragora King can be used to formulate top-grade Recovery Potion and Awakening Potion.

Although Ye Bai's Myriad-Change Silkworm had broken through to the second rank, Ye Bai's newly contracted Little Charcoal Dog had not.

So Ye Bai planned to let the Little Charcoal Dog be the test subject for the Divine Phoenix Group to test the Awakening Potion.

And the Mandragora King was the "letter of introduction."

An opportunity for Ye Bai to hug another golden thigh.

The gray mist disappeared in an instant; it seems the Mandragora King knows how to avoid harm.

But don't be anxious; as long as the Mandragora King is in this herb field, Ye Bai will eventually find a way to capture the Mandragora King.

"Attention all candidates, there is half an hour left."

"Candidates who have not selected a Mandragora, please hurry."

"Candidates who are conducting experiments, do not look around, so as not to disturb others."

The voice of Teacher Tian suddenly came through Ye Bai's earpiece; this earpiece was actually a pretty good idea.

He carried the Mandragora, which had a look of total resignation on its face, toward the laboratory bench.

Quite a few students were already busy at the laboratory benches, and the Mandragoras around them had all been hacked to pieces by the students.

Ye Bai felt the Mandragora in his hand trembling like a rabbit.

He looked down and saw the Mandragora's eyes were wide open, and it was looking at its dismembered companions.

"Damn, a plant has such intense emotional fluctuations? Does a Mandragora actually belong to the plant-type Pet Beast category, or is it a medicinal herb?"

The books describe the Mandragora as having no self-awareness, and it also cannot be contracted as a Pet Beast, so most people generally treat the Mandragora as a medicinal herb.

But whether it was the expression of fear or the look of resignation, Ye Bai felt it wasn't that simple.

However, making a Recovery Potion requires using the entire Mandragora plant.

Ye Bai used a laboratory scalpel to gently poke the Mandragora between its eyebrows, and it immediately fell into a paralyzed state.

Following that, the roots of the Mandragora were carefully pulled out one by one by Ye Bai; these are the main raw materials used to make the Awakening Potion, while the body of the Mandragora is the raw material for making the Recovery Potion—there is still a difference between the two.

Ye Bai ground the processed Mandragora into a white liquid.

Smelling that pungent, radish-like scent, he really felt that the Mandragora was actually just a humanoid giant white radish.

After carefully filtering out the fibers with filter paper, he placed the collected liquid into a glass test tube and heated it at a constant temperature of sixty degrees; the main substances in the Mandragora would sublimate at low temperature, and after condensation, a bright green liquid would precipitate out.

These liquids are the main components for preparing the Recovery Potion.

Time passed second by second, and Su Na and Tian Tian were both observing everyone's experimental steps and techniques.

The students of Jiaying No. 1 Middle School were all steady and solid, as if every step had been practiced a thousand times over.

As for the students of Shenshan Middle School, their levels varied from high to low.

Among them, the most standard was Ye Bai; every one of his movements could be a scene from a textbook, and his steps were very smooth as he prepared the Recovery Potion in an orderly manner.

He had already reached the final step, dripping a drop of milky white liquid into the test tube filled with bright green liquid.

The bright green liquid turned into a deep blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, one hour had passed, and Teacher Tian pressed the pause button, and a piercing buzzing sound rang out.

"Time is up, please stop your experiments and bring up your completed potions for testing."

"Students who have not finished preparing their potions will be directly eliminated."

Half of the people from Shenshan Middle School had not finished preparing their potions and were directly eliminated.

And among the students of Jiaying No. 1 Middle School, except for one person whose potion spoiled because they didn't watch the heat, the other students all excellently completed the preparation of their potions.

Comparing the two, one could see the difference in skill.

"Su Na, surprised, right? I teach these students to do experiments hand-in-hand every day; they could complete the Recovery Potion experiment even with their eyes closed now."

"The champion of this competition will definitely be a student from our Shenshan No. 1 Middle School."

Tian Tian said with a provocative look on her face.

"Hmph!"

Su Na let out a cold snort: "I admit your success rate is very high, but the competition depends on who prepares the best potion."

"You're saying that a bit too early, aren't you?"

Su Na said, very annoyed.

"Is it that hard to admit you lost to me?"

"Fine, let me show you how my students defeat your students."

Tian Tian clapped her hands, and the school's logistics staff pushed over a piece of instrumentation equipment.

"For the sake of fairness, so you don't say I cheated, this instrument can grade the potions."

"It is the instrumentation equipment that the Pharmacist guild uses during assessments."

"Shall we use this to determine the final result?"

"Don't worry, I want to defeat you fair and square; I won't mess with the equipment. Although we are mortal enemies, you should know my character."

Tian Tian said with an arrogant look.

Su Na thought about it, and it was true; all their conflicts were kept out in the open, and they never played dirty against each other.

"Fine, let's use this instrumentation equipment."

Teacher Tian gave her students a look.

They placed their potions on the equipment's rack in order.

A thin, long needle directly drew a portion of the potion and sent it into the instrument for testing.

An 86 soon appeared on the instrument's large screen.

The quality of this potion was very good.

The Recovery Potion testing for Jiaying No. 1 Middle School was finished, with the lowest being 72 points and the highest being 95 points; this result was quite outstanding.

Next, it was the turn of the students from Shenshan Middle School; they swallowed hard and placed their potions on the rack.

60, 85, 68, 75, 89, 93, 87, 55, 43.

Group after group of data came out, and the best one so far was only 93; Teacher Tian gloated on the sidelines.

"Very good, in this competition, your Shenshan Middle School has lost."

"Bring out the Earth Puppet."

Teacher Tian waved her hand, but at this moment, Ye Bai raised his hand to signal: "Teacher, my test result hasn't come out yet."

Begging for votes, begging for votes, sorry, the update is late.
