Chapter 95: Epidemic Poison Crystal Core

The Stiff-Haired Black Rat let out a squeak and charged over, green liquid flowing from the corners of its mouth.

"Little Charcoal Dog, make your body burn."

Black flames surged from Little Charcoal Dog's body.

These pitch-black flames merged with Little Charcoal Dog; this was Little Charcoal Dog's newest skill, Flame Shield.

After devouring the Shadow Mosquito's crystal core, Little Charcoal Dog learned this skill during the process of being engulfed in flames.

This skill allows Little Charcoal Dog to cover itself in a thick layer of flames.

The flames can both block some Exotic Beast skills and, when Little Charcoal Dog pounces, use the flames on its body to scorch the opponent.

The Stiff-Haired Black Rat suddenly spat green mist from its mouth.

However, when this Poison Mist touched Little Charcoal Dog's Flame Shield, it made a sizzling, oily sound.

A trail of black smoke emerged and dispersed into the air.

A nearby Burrowing Rat accidentally inhaled that black smoke, and to everyone's surprise, it kicked its legs, its body convulsed, and it collapsed with white foam spilling from its mouth.

"Those green mists contain a virus; even if burned by flames, the black smoke that dissipates is still poisonous."

"I don't know how many viruses this Stiff-Haired Black Rat carries; I must be careful dealing with it."

Ye Bai pondered for a moment.

After the green Poison Mist was incinerated by Little Charcoal Dog, the Stiff-Haired Black Rat flew into a rage.

It waved its thick, black Lijua and swiped directly at Little Charcoal Dog.

If the Lijua hit Little Charcoal Dog, it might lose its ability to fight instantly.

"Little Charcoal Dog, spray Xianghuo at the Stiff-Haired Black Rat's Lijua."

Little Charcoal Dog obeyed and opened its mouth, firelight surging within; streaks of Xianghuo flew out like bullets.

It seemed that with the enhancement of the Flame Shield, the power of the Xianghuo had increased significantly.

The Xianghuo landed entirely on the Stiff-Haired Black Rat's paws, with some landing on its body, and it let out a miserable shriek.

The Stiff-Haired Black Rat, with parts of its body on fire, rolled frantically on the ground, only managing to extinguish the flames on its body with great difficulty.

It was in a very sorry state now.

Its entire paw was scalded so badly that a large blister had formed, and it grimaced in pain.

There were also multiple burn marks on its body, and its stiff hair was bald in patches here and there.

At this moment, the Stiff-Haired Black Rat revealed a fierce look and sprayed green Poison Mist directly at the surrounding Burrowing Rats.

The Burrowing Rats that were originally watching the fun on the sidelines had the worst luck imaginable!

The Poison Mist made it difficult for the Burrowing Rats to breathe; they clutched their necks tightly, their faces turned bright red, and their tongues stuck straight out, just like fish out of water.

Their eyeballs bulged out, and their bellies swelled up like balloons, getting bigger and bigger.

Bang, bang, bang.

These Burrowing Rats exploded one after another like firecrackers.

A large amount of green thick mist spread out; these Burrowing Rats seemed to have become vessels for cultivating the Poison Mist.

As the Stiff-Haired Black Rat took a deep breath, the green mist surged into its mouth.

The areas where it had been injured actually began to scab over.

"What an awesome skill."

"If this Poison Mist skill has been developed to this extent, why is it still only an entry-level skill?"

"Could the ceiling be too high?"

Ye Bai scratched his head, indicating he didn't understand.

"It doesn't matter; if this skill is so awesome, I'll just let the Myriad-Change Silkworm devour this guy's crystal core."

With the Berserk skill, the Myriad-Change Silkworm's attack power will increase; if it could possess the Poison Mist skill, the Myriad-Change Silkworm could charge in and out of a Beast Tide seven times over.

"Little Charcoal Dog, sprint all the way and ram into it."

Little Charcoal Dog kicked its four limbs hard and transformed into a streak of fire, leaving a scorched trail everywhere it passed.

The Stiff-Haired Black Rat only saw a fierce flame rushing toward its direction.

Its pupils were wide open, and it didn't even have time to dodge.

Little Charcoal Dog's speed was actually much faster than before; with no other choice, the Stiff-Haired Black Rat could only Curl into a ball and use the Hard Thorns on its body to defend.

The long, black hair was long and sharp, like a hedgehog; if Little Charcoal Dog accidentally collided with it, it would likely have several Hard Thorns embedded in its body.

"Little Charcoal Dog, change direction, run around this Stiff-Haired Black Rat, and at the same time, spray Xianghuo at the Stiff-Haired Black Rat."

Little Charcoal Dog ran rapidly in a circle, the flames began to burn on the grass, and the surroundings became hotter and hotter.

At the same time, Little Charcoal Dog sprayed Xianghuo onto the Stiff-Haired Black Rat's body.

The Xianghuo landed on the black stiff hair, emitting wisps of black smoke.

The Stiff-Haired Black Rat felt itself getting hotter and hotter, its body burning with pain; by the time it wanted to resist, it was already surrounded by endless flames.

It had no room left to resist.

Tongues of fire engulfed the stiff hair on its body; it wanted to let out a roar, but it couldn't. It could only watch helplessly as it was surrounded by flames and burned to death alive.

By the time Little Charcoal Dog stopped, the Stiff-Haired Black Rat had been completely burned to charcoal.

Its eyeballs had been burned white, and its mouth was wide open, as if it were screaming hysterically in the fire.

Little Charcoal Dog felt its limbs go soft, stuck out its tongue, and lay on the ground.

"Not bad, Little Charcoal Dog, your strength has improved greatly compared to before."

"At the very least, during the battle, the flames on your body never went out."

"You should return to the Pet Beast Space to rest first."

Ye Bai patted Little Charcoal Dog's head; after contracting with Little Charcoal Dog, he could be immune to the flames on Little Charcoal Dog's body.

The Little Charcoal Dog turned into a stream of light and merged into Ye Bai's body.

"Sunflower King, take out the crystal core inside the Bristle Black Rat."

The ground split open, and roots as thin as hair strands passed through the charred corpse, extracting a green crystal core from within.

The crystal core emitted a verdant green glow, like a fine emerald.

This should be the plague toxin core of the Bristle Black Rat.

"Dahui, let's continue, let's go."

At this moment, the Sunflower King tugged at Ye Bai's pant leg, and it suddenly pointed at the ground.

"What's on the ground?"

Ye Bai asked curiously, and saw the Sunflower King roll up its leaves, then deliver a heavy punch toward the ground below.

Bang.

The ground suddenly shattered, revealing a hole; a large amount of smoke emerged, and the ground also experienced a slight tremor.

After the smoke dissipated, an entrance appeared on the ground.

This hole was large enough for two people to pass through; even a big guy like Dahui could squeeze inside.

"Could it be that this entrance leads to the lair of the Burrowing Rats?"

Ye Bai smiled.

He remembered the system had once reminded him that there were Tier 3 Ground Gems here.

Although the value of a Ground Gem is not as high as a Tier 3 Sun Stone, the price is not much different.

The entire cave showed many claw marks; it seemed this vast cave had been dug out bit by bit by the Burrowing Rats.

After walking for about half an hour, Ye Bai saw fragments of Ground Gems embedded in the passage.

Quite a few Burrowing Rats were secretly gnawing on the gems, making crunching sounds.

However, when these Burrowing Rats saw Ye Bai enter, they scattered in a flurry.

He could see the fleeting terror in the eyes of these Burrowing Rats.

Clearly, these Burrowing Rats had seen the scene where Zhang Lingxue and President Wang were slaughtering everything, and they were afraid.

Through the Insight Eye, Ye Bai selected several Burrowing Rats capable of evolving into Blood Rage Rats and had the Sunflower King grab them directly with its roots.

The Sunflower King's roots intertwined to form cages; the Burrowing Rats were trapped inside the cages, emitting miserable cries from their mouths.

However, after their companions heard the sounds, they fled even further away.

These Burrowing Rats had all been abandoned by their companions.

As they got closer to the underground, more and more Ground Gems appeared in the passage.

The Burrowing Rats here had all become Tier 3 Burrowing Rats, and there were also Burrowing Rat Kings present.

They gathered together, seemingly waiting for something.

At this time, an Exotic Beast covered in many rocks, with a body as large as a calf, appeared.

There was a large drill on its nose, and its claws were also as sharp as drills.

The moment this Exotic Beast appeared, almost all the Burrowing Rats knelt on the ground.

Several Burrowing Rat Kings surrounded this Exotic Beast, becoming its guards.

If Ye Bai guessed correctly, this guy should be the Burrowing Rat Emperor, the king of the Burrowing Rat clan.

At the same time, Ye Bai's Insight Eye also sensed that the Burrowing Rat Emperor possessed two gray mists on its body.

Judging from the size of the gray mists, it should also be around Tier 4.

Just at this moment, the Burrowing Rat Emperor's gaze suddenly looked toward Ye Bai, and a sharp screeching sound came from its mouth.

"Discovered already?" Ye Bai raised an eyebrow, not taking it to heart.

The Tier 3 Burrowing Rats swarmed to surround Ye Bai and his Pet Beast.

"Dahui, Sunflower King, come close to me."

Ye Bai gripped the Space Key tightly in his hand; now was not the time to fight those Burrowing Rats, leaving quickly was the best policy.

Before the Burrowing Rats could pounce like a tide, Ye Bai turned into a white light and disappeared.

Many Burrowing Rats collided with each other, getting battered and bloody.

A white light appeared in the Breeding House.

Ye Bai appeared, breathing slightly heavily, while Dahui looked indifferent.

The Sunflower King's roots were restraining six Burrowing Rats.

"Go into the Beast Card obediently."

Ye Bai placed a stack of blank Beast Cards in front of the Burrowing Rats.

An extremely strong suction force came from the Beast Cards; at this moment, steel chains wrapped around the Burrowing Rats, the chains gave a sudden tug, and the Burrowing Rats were pulled into the Beast Cards.

There are many types of Beast Cards, including those that can help Pet Beasts recover physical strength and spirit.

There are Beast Cards that allow Pet Beasts to rest with you; Dahui usually uses this kind.

There is also a type of Beast Card for forcibly capturing Exotic Beasts, but one must suppress the Exotic Beast until it has no combat ability; this is the type of Beast Card used to capture the Burrowing Rats.

The six Burrowing Rats were all pulled in by the chains.

Ye Bai let out a sigh of relief.

The thin blanket on the sofa was folded neatly; it seemed Zhang Lingxue had gone back to conduct experiments.

Asking for votes, asking for votes, asking for votes.
