Chapter 92: The Evolution Route of the Fudiantou Mijing

After looking through the data on the Dragon-Slaying Sword, Sophia discovered that the Dragon-Slaying Sword was only recorded in the county annals.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword was cast by infusing Geng Metal Essence, and the blade was engraved with specialized runes, possessing its own spirituality, specifically for slaying Exotic Beasts capable of Overturning Rivers and Seas.

According to the records in these county annals, this Dragon-Slaying Sword did not seem to have anything special about it, and it carried more of a mythological quality.

But the more this was the case, the more curious Sophia felt.

Since the Dragon-Slaying Sword had nothing special about it, why did that person still want to collect it?

Did he have some kind of conspiracy?

And he even wanted the first batch of produced Awakening Potion.

The more Sophia thought about this, the less she understood.

However, in the end, she still agreed to it; after all, for her, there were no major downsides.

She immediately replied with an "OK" in the email.

Soon, By replied again.

【A truly wise choice.】

【Delivery can be made within three days, there will be a surprise waiting for you!】

After receiving a definite answer, Sophia checked the time.

After obtaining the root of the Mandrake King, the Awakening Potion would no longer be a bottleneck, and if she sped things up a bit, she should be able to pass the clinical tests.

The next day, a buzzing sound came from outside the Research Institute.

A massive transport plane descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

Zhang Lingxue had her hands in her pockets, watching a security member hand a silver-white briefcase to her.

"Professor Zhang, these two Secret Realms are now handed over to you."

"Please be sure to make proper arrangements."

The security member instructed solemnly.

Zhang Lingxue nodded, indicating that she already knew.

Ye Bai was also woken up by the buzzing sound of the helicopter; he walked out of the Breeding House and looked outside, seeing a large helicopter take off from the Research Institute area and fly toward the sky, turning into a black dot before long.

Could it be that the Secret Realms had been delivered?

Calculating the days, it was about this time.

Ye Bai ran to the Research Institute in a flash, where Zhang Lingxue was currently holding the briefcase, watching the helicopter flying into the distance.

She smoothed her messy hair, revealing a stunning profile.

Usually, Zhang Lingxue was somewhat lazy and as cold and aloof as the bright new moon in the starry sky, her clear eyes as cold as glaze; this was how she usually appeared.

Unless someone was very close to her, she generally maintained this distant attitude.

Once she immersed herself in research, she could not care about anything else, not even eating on time.

However, thanks to Dahui's excellent culinary skills, the teacher had changed this habit; she would eat on time as soon as the hour arrived, for any hesitation of even a second would be a sign of disrespect to Dahui's cooking.

But Zhang Lingxue felt that while these things were delicious, they lacked a certain special flavor; she actually wanted to ask Ye Bai to cook for her again, but Zhang Lingxue felt too embarrassed to bring it up.

"Here, this Burrowing Rat Secret Realm and Fudiantou Mijing have been delivered to my hands impatiently."

Zhang Lingxue had not yet reported the fact that the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm could produce mutated crystal cores.

Although it was said that this Secret Realm was purchased by the Imperial Capital Research Institute, the actual purchaser was Zhang Lingxue; she had only used the Imperial Capital Research Institute as a front, and the Secret Realm was still transferred under Zhang Lingxue's name.

However, only Zhang Lingxue, Su Qingxian, and Zhang Dashan knew about this matter, while everyone else was kept in the dark.

No one expected that the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm could produce such crystal cores that could heal mental power, as well as blood that could activate cells; these were all rare treasures.

But Zhang Lingxue needed to study how to produce a mutated Blood Rampage Rat King.

After all, normal evolution and evolution occurring during a Beast Tide were two different things.

The purpose of the research was to be able to replicate this state of evolution.

"Follow me."

Zhang Lingxue walked in, carrying the briefcase.

Inside the briefcase was placed something that looked like a key.

"This is a Space Key."

"It is crafted by a Pet Beast Master who possesses a space talent."

"Grip the Space Key tightly and inject mental power into it, and it will completely activate the Space Key; people within a one-meter radius will also be brought into the Secret Realm."

"So, once you see someone else use a Space Key, you must be careful."

"However, those who can possess a Space Key are generally some powerful families."

At this moment, Ye Bai had a question: "Teacher, I want to know one thing."

"Didn't the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm appear within the western suburbs?"

"How did they manage to relocate the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm?"

Zhang Lingxue smiled: "We haven't covered this point of knowledge yet."

"In fact, the world is a huge bubble, and Secret Realms are just tiny bubbles surrounding this huge bubble."

"You have observed bubbles; in fact, bubbles can also move."

"We invested a large amount of space stones into the Secret Realm to create a repulsive force between it and the world, so naturally, it could be moved."

"But once the Secret Realm moves to another place, some space stones must be taken away to fix it in place."

"And the Space Key is the key to opening this Secret Realm."

"Come, let's go take a look at the Fudiantou Mijing."

"This is the subject we need to study in the future; let's get to know it in advance."

Zhang Lingxue gripped the Space Key tightly, and she injected her mental power into the Space Key.

Very quickly, a bright light radiated out, teleporting both Zhang Lingxue and Ye Bai into the Secret Realm.

Fudiantou Mijing.

A large number of Fudiantou live here; to provide the Fudiantou with an excellent living environment, the researchers even set up a small lake in the Secret Realm, and the ground is covered with Thunder Light Alfalfa for the Fudiantou to graze on.

This is a type of plant that can absorb lightning and tastes a bit numbing; it is the main food of the Fudiantou.

If the Fudiantou don't eat a bite of Thunder Light Alfalfa every day, they act as if they are sick, looking listless.

Ye Bai watched as the Fudiantou crunched away at the alfalfa, and not long after, the parts of the alfalfa that had been eaten recovered.

The madness in the eyes of the Fudiantou increased by a few points.

"At the peak of the experiments, this place was covered with Fudiantou as far as the eye could see."

"The current number of Fudiantou is only one-third of what it was, yet it is still so spectacular."

Zhang Lingxue sighed slightly; this just goes to show how massive the Fudiantou population was back then.

A Fudiantou is about one meter long; they have buckteeth that flicker with Thunder Light, and red, three-lobed mouths.

Their fur is gray, and these rabbits' blood-red eyes spin around, seeming somewhat malicious.

They surrounded Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue one after another, led by a rabbit leader the size of a calf.

【Name: Fudiantou Leader】

【Gender: Male】

【Level: Second Order Peak】

【Skills: Herbivory (Proficient): Consume large amounts of wild grass to restore exhausted stamina and heal one's own injuries.

Double Kick (Proficient): Use powerful hind legs to kick fiercely at the enemy; even hard stones can be shattered by the Fudiantou's kick. This move is also called Rabbit Kick.

Power Generation (Beginner): Release the electric current absorbed within the body; there is a certain probability of inducing a paralysis state.

Digging (Proficient): As a rabbit, if you can't Digging, you are simply losing face for your rabbit ancestors.】

【Evolution Route 1: Thunderstorm Rabbit: A rabbit that evolves after enduring the bombardment of eighty-one lightning strikes. It is a super lightning bomb; its final ultimate move is Thunder Explosion, using itself as a bomb to blast the opponent to pieces. If the opponent is shattered, you are also shattered. Requires the Fudiantou to reach Third Order Peak.】

【Evolution Route 2: Thunder Rabbit: Find an Exotic Beast called a Positive Electric Rabbit; after the two gather together and experience the baptism of lightning, they can evolve. Both the Positive Electric Rabbit and the Fudiantou must reach Third Order Peak simultaneously.】

After Ye Bai saw the evolution routes of the Fudiantou, his eyes widened.

Damn it, no wonder the Western Research Institute stopped researching it in the end.

These evolution conditions are too harsh.

They must have paid a high price to find someone with the Insight Eye talent, and only after seeing the Fudiantou's evolution routes did they completely give up.

For the first plan, the Fudiantou not only needs to advance to the Third Order, but also endure the attack of eighty-one lightning strikes.

Leaving aside those eighty-one tribulations, just breaking through to the Third Order would probably cost these rabbits their lives.

Every time they break through, it is like undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

During the breakthrough process, the Fudiantou's body becomes like an unstable lightning bomb.

As long as there is the slightest error, its body will explode.

Moreover, after the Fudiantou's body explodes, it will possess an abnormal hormone.

Any Exotic Beast or Pet Beast Master who eats this hormone will have their spirit tainted, risking a deviation in their mental threshold.

And this guy needs to go through eighty-one tribulations to evolve; it's even more troublesome than the pilgrimage to the West.

As for the other evolution route, it requires finding a Positive Electric Rabbit.

Good grief, nobody knows what a Positive Electric Rabbit looks like; I bet the researchers over there were confused from start to finish.

If there had been even a glimmer of hope for success, they probably wouldn't have given up.

Ye Bai felt that the research on the Fudiantou was quite thorny.

He really wanted to know what purpose led to the decision to research the Fudiantou in such a deranged manner.

"By the way, Teacher, I only heard you mention it once before."

"Why are we researching the Fudiantou?"

"What significance does the Fudiantou have for the western ecology, anyway?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked; he had only heard fragments of Zhang Lingxue's retelling regarding the purpose of researching the Fudiantou.

He wanted to see if he could find another way to complete this research task.

Zhang Lingxue thought for a moment and organized her words: "The Fudiantou is a type of Pet Beast that is relatively docile and has strong reproductive capabilities, but it only grazes on one type of food, Thunder Light Alfalfa, and the meat of the Fudiantou is very succulent."

"It is said that its rabbit meat has a tingling, numbing electric sensation; it is also an Exotic Beast that ordinary people can eat."

Ye Bai shrugged his shoulders: "Then breed them on a large scale."

"Just like domesticating wild boars, wouldn't it be fine to just domesticate the Fudiantou?"

Ye Bai raised the question in his heart; the Fudiantou were already fine as they were, so why are you all doing these extra things?

Evolution, why make it evolve?

Begging for votes, begging for votes, begging for votes; my brother is destined to be single forever.
