Chapter 87: Qianmian never would have thought that he would be exposed in such a socially humiliating way
This dragon turtle is two meters tall, its entire body is the size of a millstone, there are two long dragon horns on its head, and the edge of its turtle shell is covered in sharp spikes.
Its claws are extremely sharp, capable of easily piercing through half-a-meter-thick iron plates.
This is a Tier 5 dragon turtle, and it excels at defense.
"Wulaoqi, how about I be your opponent?"
Xuanwu walked forward step by step.
"Hmph, I don't have time. Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion, use Poison Mist."
The Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion opened its massive pincers and sprayed a purple poison mist from within.
The poison mist then spread out, diffusing in all directions, and it was about to reach the place where Zhang Lingxue was growing medicinal herbs.
"Oh no, hurry and dodge."
Although he didn't know what kind of poison that was, Xuanwu could clearly feel that it was definitely not anything good.
"Wulaoqi has hidden himself too deeply; we have never even seen this Pet Beast before, and we don't know what its weaknesses are."
"On the contrary, Wulaoqi knows exactly what the weaknesses of my Pet Beast are."
Xuanwu felt that his security work had been a complete failure; the deputy captain of his security team was actually a mole for another country, and they had worked together for so long without him ever noticing.
Just then, the Blood Poison Moths flapped their wings and flew down; they opened their large mouths and swallowed the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion's poison mist in big gulps.
Their original food was all kinds of highly toxic materials, and the toxins of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion were a tempting feast for them.
They needed to absorb the toxins within various poison-type Exotic Beasts or absorb a large number of poison-type crystal cores to further evolve.
After some exploration, Ye Bai discovered that, limited by the constraints of the Insight Eye, he could not see the evolution path of the Blood Poison Moths at the beginning.
However, as he became familiar with the Blood Poison Moths and his favorability with them increased, Ye Bai found that he could see the Blood Poison Moths' next evolution path was the Hundred-Poison Moth, which required absorbing over a hundred types of toxins to evolve.
Therefore, Ye Bai discovered that if his favorability with a certain Pet Beast reached a certain value, it seemed he could see their evolution paths.
However, Ye Bai was still testing whether the Insight Eye truly had this function.
So, he planned to set his target on Zhang Lingxue's Huidu E.
Through the Information System, Ye Bai already knew that after the Huidu E absorbed the flesh and blood of a Poison Flood Dragon, it could evolve into a Poison Dragon Butterfly.
He just wanted to test now whether he would be able to see the Huidu E's evolution path once his favorability with it reached a certain value.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qianmian transformed into a security member and threw out ant eggs again.
Not long after, the ant eggs hatched into a dozen or so explosive ants carrying high-explosive charges.
They would take the opportunity to attack the Research Institute and turn the entire Research Institute into the most beautiful fireworks in the world.
Inside the Research Institute, Principal Zhang Dashan, who was resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes.
"They're here, something is here. Everyone step back a bit, don't stand here."
Only a loud boom was heard, and the entire Research Institute began to shake incessantly.
A huge crack appeared on the floor of the Laboratory, and a small mound of dirt emerged.
Black, shiny scorpions, each only the size of a palm, emerged from the mound.
They were all baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, pouncing toward the location where Su Qingxian was.
Just then, Principal Zhang Dashan waved his hand violently, and a two-meter-tall Hellfire appeared behind the principal.
It was composed of countless rocks, and green flames emerged from the gaps between the rocks.
After the Hellfire appeared, the black, shiny giant scorpions hovered and did not advance.
They could feel the power within the Hellfire's body that could reduce scorpions to ashes.
The moment Zhang Dashan summoned the Hellfire, Qianmian also decided to completely detonate the high-explosive charges inside the explosive ants, turning the entire Research Institute into a mushroom cloud.
Unfortunately, after he gave this command, the explosive ants Self-Destructed, but not a single spark of fire emerged from the Research Institute.
This made Qianmian feel exceptionally strange.
"Where exactly did something go wrong?"
He felt that he had been feeling emo a bit too often today.
As a killer, as a successful killer, all his assassination plans would proceed according to his designs.
Occasionally, once or twice, things would exceed his plans, and he could still accept that.
Qianmian took a deep breath; he was now considering a question: whether to take this opportunity to rush in.
It was rumored that Zhang Dashan's strength had not yet recovered, and Zhang Lingxue was just a Tier 3 Pet Beast Master.
As a dignified Tier 5 Pet Beast Master, rushing in to crush the three of them should be easy.
However, when he took a step forward, he still hesitated.
After all, a dozen explosive ants had gone in and suddenly gone silent; he was afraid that some trap had been set inside.
Being cautious and careful was the principle Qianmian had always followed as a killer.
He would rather not execute the target than risk his own safety.
Being cautious and staying low-profile was the reason Qianmian had lived until now.
Some of his arrogant and conceited partners already had grass two meters high growing on their graves.
"Forget it, since the mole from the Iron Chicken Kingdom has already been exposed, let him go and test the depth of the Research Institute."
As the flames emitted by the Hellfire slowly descended, countless green flames sank into the bodies of the scorpions.
Countless scorpions were lit up like lanterns by the Hellfire, and the massive army of poisonous scorpions instantly went silent.
A charred, fragrant scent wafted through the air.
After the Myriad-Change Silkworm smelled this scent, it became greedy.
It used its tongue to roll up a roasted scorpion and stuffed it directly into its mouth.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm's eyes then lit up; oh my god, this is just too delicious.
A scorpion that tastes like chicken and is crunchy.
Moreover, this scorpion even carried a faint salty taste, and it was actually quite delicious.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm ate the roasted scorpion in silence.
Zhang Dashan, meanwhile, watched as the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion began to fight with the Dragon Turtle.
"Haha."
Wulaoqi laughed out loud directly.
"Right now, the poisonous scorpion army dispatched by my Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion should have succeeded."
"No one can escape the attack of the poisonous scorpion army."
After hearing this, Xuanwu's expression changed drastically; oh no, he had been lured away from his base.
A sharp glint flashed in Wulaoqi's eyes, and at this very moment, the giant scorpion tail thrust straight toward Xuanwu's back.
If it could hit Xuanwu, Xuanwu would be killed instantly by the venom of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion.
Once Xuanwu was dead, the remaining people would be nothing but sitting ducks.
Bang.
A Hellfire suddenly appeared and used its giant rock hand to grab the tail of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion directly.
It pulled hard with a sudden jerk, and hearing only a 'bang' sound like fluffing cotton, the tail of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion was snapped off by force, and the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion let out a hysterical roar.
"Hellfire?"
Wulaoqi's eyes widened.
"Aren't you already afflicted by the Blood Gu?"
"Why are you still able to summon a Hellfire?"
"Logically speaking, your strength should have fallen below the third rank by now."
Wulaoqi's words made Zhang Dashan frown.
"It seems you are an insider."
"Perhaps even a participant."
"Very well, Hellfire, capture him."
"I want to interrogate him personally and learn the truth about my Gu affliction from his own mouth."
At this moment, the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion, driven into a frenzy, waved its massive pincers and lunged at the Hellfire.
The moment it made contact with the Hellfire, black flames landed on the pincers of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion.
Wulaoqi's pupils shrank instantly; he naturally knew the terrifying nature of Hellfire.
"Quick, Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion, quickly cut off both of your pincers."
No sooner had Wulaoqi finished speaking than the body of the Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion was covered by the black flames.
It twisted in agony amidst the flames, and finally, it went silent.
The Nine-Poison Giant Scorpion was dead, and the contract was severed.
Red blood spilled from the corner of Wulaoqi's mouth.
"Calculated every move, only to fall short at the final hurdle."
Black flames emerged from Wulaoqi's body; he endured the pain of the scorching fire and looked at Zhang Dashan with a calm expression.
"This round, I have lost."
"However, I will return."
"Don't even think about being able to control my Soul!"
"I know you have this ability."
Wulaoqi's body gradually turned into a giant scarecrow.
The black flames burned on the scarecrow, making a crackling sound, and soon it burned to ashes.
"I didn't expect Wulaoqi to have contracted a Substitute-Death Scarecrow."
"That guy managed to escape."
"However, having lost two Pet Beasts, his strength will inevitably decline significantly."
"Qingxian, I have already prepared your plane; we must leave as soon as possible."
Just today, they had encountered so many dangers; if Su Qingxian were to die here, Zhang Dashan estimated he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Just at this moment, Ye Bai suddenly discovered a gray mist appearing at a corner of the wall not far from the Research Institute.
Judging by the intensity emitted from the gray mist, it was at least fifth rank or higher.
"Could there be someone there?"
"That assassin called Qianmian?"
Ye Bai thought to himself, calculating how he could expose Qianmian in public.
At this time, Ye Bai saw the Stinger Bees constantly weaving through the flower bushes.
This was a type of first-rank bee-type Exotic Beast only the size of a palm; their temperament was relatively gentle, and they would weave through flowers to collect nectar.
However, this type of Exotic Beast had one characteristic: they were extremely interested in the Flower Nectar of the Sunflowers.
Previously, when the Breeding House was brewing honey, it would attract a large number of Stinger Bees every day.
Although this Exotic Beast was non-venomous, it had one trait: its sting was extremely painful.
It was a burning, searing pain, like having thousands of needles pricking one's fingers.
As long as one did not deliberately provoke the Stinger Bees, they generally would not attack on their own.
Due to the clearing of the Beast Tide, it led to the massive proliferation of second-rank Sunflowers.
Zhang Lingxue's entire Research Institute, including the area nearby, was covered in second-rank Sunflowers; they had been arranged by Ye Bai to be stationed here to watch over the medicinal herbs.
Ye Bai was deeply afraid that such precious medicinal herbs would be stolen, and the Sunflowers could serve as excellent lookouts.
When they discover someone stealing herbs, they will use merciless Vine Whip to lash the intruders fiercely.
He whispered a few words to the Sunflower.
Ye Bai's command was then transmitted to the Sunflower King.
Qianmian was lying on his stomach in the corner of the wall with his butt stuck up; his talent was being able to be like a chameleon, with his body color able to become the same as his surroundings.
The perimeter of the Research Institute was covered with a circle of second-rank Sunflowers.
There were also quite a few Stinger Bees shuttling among the Sunflowers, but what made the Stinger Bees somewhat disappointed was that there was not much Flower Nectar in the petals of these Sunflowers.
Just at this moment, the petals of the Sunflower drooped downward.
Drops of golden and translucent Flower Nectar dripped down.
The Flower Nectar dripped onto Qianmian's clothes; at this time, Qianmian had not yet noticed and was still lying on the ground, secretly looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Qianmian did not notice, but the Stinger Bees noticed it at the first moment.
They buzzed and flapped their wings as they flew over.
Gradually, Qianmian discovered that something seemed wrong; a sweet fragrance was emanating from his body.
The surrounding Stinger Bees were becoming more and more numerous.
He suddenly felt his butt was extremely itchy, so he reached out and scratched it.
As a result, he touched a pool of sticky liquid.
Not only on his butt, but even on his back as well.
The Stinger Bees that were interrupted while collecting nectar became angry; they raised their heads and revealed their bee stings.
The Stinger Bees swarmed up, and the bee stings fiercely pierced Qianmian's butt.
Before Qianmian could react, a heart-piercing Highly Toxic pain spread from his butt.
Qianmian immediately jumped up, jumping up and down just like a monkey, while the Stinger Bees buzzed and stared closely at Qianmian, giving him a sting from time to time.
The places that were hit were burning with pain, making Qianmian grimace in agony.
The surrounding security members saw a person suddenly appear and immediately realized that this person was not right.
They hurriedly chased after him, risking the danger of being stung by the Stinger Bees, and directly captured Qianmian, putting on the Silver Bracelet that could isolate the Pet Beast Space.
Because the incident happened too suddenly, Qianmian had not yet reacted before being pressed to the ground by people.
Looking at Qianmian, who was stung black and blue by the Stinger Bees, the crowd had not yet realized what kind of existence they had caught.
After Qianmian was escorted to the Pet Beast Union for interrogation, everyone knew that this was the internationally notorious assassin, Qianmian.
He had once assassinated the leader of a small country, but ended up inexplicably falling at the hands of tiny Stinger Bees.
One false step leads to eternal regret; at the moment of being hit by the Stinger Bees, Qianmian could actually have summoned his Pet Beast to escape.
But his body was in too much pain, and he was being closely pursued by the Stinger Bees, so he didn't think of this at all.
At this time, Qianmian finally realized that the sticky stuff on his body was the Flower Nectar of the Sunflower.
What Qianmian did not know was that his capture was actually related to the Sunflower King; he only thought that he was a bit unlucky.
Wulaoqi escaped and Qianmian was caught; this operation finally came to an end.
In order to protect Su Qingxian's safety, Zhang Dashan even specially followed Su Qingxian onto the same private plane to head to the Imperial Capital.
Before leaving, Su Qingxian also specifically gave instructions to pay attention to the Negative Electric Rabbit experiment.
This made Zhang Lingxue, who was originally in a great mood, have her face fall immediately.
After they returned to the Research Institute, Ye Bai discovered that the Myriad-Change Silkworm was actually still there eating.
However, next to the Myriad-Change Silkworm's level, there was actually an extra Highly Toxic resistance.
"Ye Bai, if you don't have anything to do recently, help me study the Negative Electric Rabbit together."
"I will tell you first why we need to study the Negative Electric Rabbit."
"The Negative Electric Rabbit is a rabbit-shaped Pet Beast, and it has a lightning stripe on its forehead."
"It likes to appear on stormy days to collect the electric current falling from the sky."
"The Negative Electric Rabbit can grow up to over a hundred pounds at most, and it feeds on a plant called Thunder Grass."
"We want to study the Negative Electric Rabbit because it is related to a personality trait of the Negative Electric Rabbit."
"After the Negative Electric Rabbit absorbs overloaded lightning, it will definitely find a place to release the overloaded electric current."
"So someone proposed a plan, which is to herd Negative Electric Rabbits, a plan to collect electric energy for the country."
Zhang Lingxue felt her throat was a bit dry, so she picked up a cup and poured herself a glass of water.
"This proposal is quite good, but it has now encountered a bottleneck, which is that with the progress of the research."
"Researchers discovered that the amount of electric current the Negative Electric Rabbit's body can store is too little."
"And the electric energy of lightning is too vast."
"This leads to the Negative Electric Rabbit rushing toward the lightning, which is no different from a moth flying into a flame."
"The Negative Electric Rabbit will die instantly the moment it hits the lightning, which will cause a huge waste."
"Moreover, after the Negative Electric Rabbit dies suddenly, a very special toxin will be produced in its body."
"This toxin enters the human body and will affect the mental power of the Pet Beast Master."
"And normal people who eat the Negative Electric Rabbit will also fall into a state of madness."
"So currently, the Negative Electric Rabbit has two research directions."
"One research direction is to expand the electric current storage intensity within the Negative Electric Rabbit's body."
"Making it able to accept the vast power of lightning."
"The other is to disperse the intensity of the lightning so that the Negative Electric Rabbit can bear it."
Happy Dragon Boat Festival, dear.
