Chapter 96: Even if my He Family has fallen, there are still good things left behind

The moon gradually emerged from the horizon, its bright moonlight spilling onto the ground. He Guangda had been waiting in the alley for an entire day; he was now hungry and tired, yet the Breeding House had to go and emit the thick, fragrant scent of a meal.

He Guangda swallowed his saliva; his stomach was rumbling like a drum, but He Guangda knew he had to endure to achieve final victory.

Ye Bai had already finished cooking the meal and had Dahui deliver a portion to the Research Institute.

After eating, Dahui picked up a rag to wipe the table, while Ye Bai took out his phone and began to look up information on the Negative-Electric Rabbit.

At the same time, he also tried to find out what a Positive-Electric Rabbit looked like through the Dark Web.

In fact, Ye Bai had a hypothesis: was it because the Negative-Electric Rabbit's body carried a negative charge for a long time that it became prone to exploding?

If a Negative-Electric Rabbit were raised together with a Positive-Electric Rabbit from a young age, would the Negative-Electric Rabbit's crystal core not be covered in cracks like it was now?

If there were a Positive-Electric Rabbit to accompany the Negative-Electric Rabbit as it grew, would it be easier for the Negative-Electric Rabbit to reach the third rank, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of the three evolutionary paths?

Ye Bai searched through a lot of data on the Dark Web and finally, in a corner of the Dark Web, discovered a post made by a netizen named "Knowledge is Power."

Do you believe in Positive-Electric Rabbits?

I have encountered one!

Just as Ye Bai was about to use the Dark Web to find this person's whereabouts and lock onto the location of the Positive-Electric Rabbit, the door to the Breeding House was pushed open.

"Sorry, we are closed now; come back tomorrow."

Ye Bai lifted his head, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

After all, he had already locked the door to the Breeding House earlier.

Then who was it that came in?

Ye Bai saw a disheveled person with yellow teeth, who flashed a malicious smile at him.

"It seems you don't welcome me."

"It doesn't matter; you're going to die tonight anyway."

"Go, Fire-Poison Giant Scorpion."

A scorpion covered in flames appeared.

Its body was the size of a millstone, and fiery red flames were erupting from its body.

Its tail was like a torch; it lashed out suddenly, and the furniture in the Breeding House was knocked to the ground.

Dahui's pupils constricted; it was very angry right now.

This was Dahui's home, and Dahui would absolutely not allow anyone to destroy its home.

Those floorboards were made of pine; they were very expensive.

Dahui was so angry that its eyes were bloodshot; it intended to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson.

Although both were fourth rank, there were disparities even within the fourth rank.

For instance, the Blood-Burst Rat Emperor that fled in a panic was no match for Dahui and had its head exploded by a single slap from Dahui.

Just as Dahui was about to transform, it was grabbed by the hand by Ye Bai.

"Wait, Dahui, not here."

"It will destroy the Breeding House; this is our home."

"And I don't want you to face any danger."

At this moment, Ye Bai thought of the Space Key in his hand; he could completely transfer the person before him into the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm.

As it happened, the Burrowing Rat Emperor of the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm was an earth-attribute Exotic Beast, which could fully counter this kind of Fire-Poison Giant Scorpion.

It was just that he felt this person before him looked somewhat familiar.

Where had he seen him before?

If he shaved off his beard and cut his hair short—he remembered, it was He Guangda!

"You are He Guangda?"

Ye Bai finally remembered who he was.

"Haha, Ye Bai, thanks to you, the entire He Family has gone completely bankrupt."

Ye Bai was stunned; could it be that he knew about the tricks he had played?

Subsequently, a sentence spoken by He Guangda dispelled Ye Bai's concerns.

"If you hadn't taken the third-rank Sun Stone from my hands, my luck wouldn't have been stolen away by you."

"The entire He Family would not have fallen."

"And I wouldn't have had my family torn apart and fallen to this state."

He Guangda said with extreme mania, his eyes filled with a crazed look.

Ye Bai curled his lips; why didn't you mention the evil your son committed?

If your son hadn't provoked me, the Sun Stone wouldn't have fallen into my hands, and your family wouldn't have gone bankrupt.

You would still be the high and mighty Head of the He Family—right, I should add the word "acting" in front of that.

It seems He Qingyuan wasn't beaten enough when he was young; otherwise, He Qingyuan wouldn't have been so stupid.

"My purpose in coming today is to take the third-rank Sun Stone from your hands."

"I want to make the He Family stand tall again."

The flames on the Fire-Poison Giant Scorpion caused the wooden floor of the Breeding House to start smoking, emitting a pungent odor.

Dahui was grinding its teeth in anger; it was about to explode with rage!

If this guy kept staying here, it was estimated that the entire Breeding House would turn into a sea of fire before long.

Its home was about to be gone; Dahui couldn't hold back anymore, and its whole body was trembling with anger.

"I think you're crazy, He Guangda."

"When you were the Head of the He Family, I wasn't afraid of you."

"Now that you've fallen, I'm even less afraid of you."

Ye Bai continued to use his words to provoke He Guangda, while he reached his hand into his pants pocket, gripping the Space Key.

"Hmph, you don't need to provoke me anymore."

"When I was the Head of the He Family, I was subject to many constraints; this couldn't be done, that couldn't be done. For the sake of the family's honor, many things could not be done."

"As long as it was for the family, I even gave up my dignity."

"But now I am just a wanderer. I am barefoot, so why would I be afraid of someone like you who wears shoes?"

"I have been driven to a dead end by others; what else do I have to fear?"

"Because I have already lost everything!!!"

"Hand over the Sun Stone."

"I can still leave you with an intact corpse."

Ye Bai feigned an expression of being intimidated by He Guangda.

He walked toward He Guangda step by step, pulling the Space Key, which was flickering with white light, out of his pants pocket.

"Come, let's change the battlefield."

He Guangda recognized at a glance what this was; it was a Space Key leading to a Secret Realm.

When the He Family was at its peak, they even had two or three Secret Realms, but as the He Family declined, the Secret Realms gradually fell into the hands of others.

When He Guangda was still in his twenties, he had seen a Space Key once; that was when his own father, in desperation, handed a Space Key to a powerful aristocratic family in exchange for their protection.

But how could this guy Ye Bai have this thing in his hands?

He Guangda's breathing began to quicken; no matter where Ye Bai got this thing, from now on, it was his.

A bright light flashed by.

Ye Bai appeared in the position he had once departed from.

He Guangda looked at the Space Key in Ye Bai's hand with a greedy expression.

"Hahaha, Ye Bai, as long as I kill you, I can monopolize the Space Key."

"Do you know how much a Secret Realm is worth?"

"Billions of Alliance Coins; if the produce is even richer, the price will likely go up a bit more."

The Burrowing Rat Emperor had not gone far, and after hearing the sound of He Guangda speaking, it led the Burrowing Rat army and charged back.

When it saw that humans were attacking again, a sharp screech erupted from its mouth.

Countless Burrowing Rats surged over like a tide.

Ye Bai immediately retreated a few steps to put distance between himself and He Guangda, hiding behind Dahui.

"He Guangda, this is the burial place I have arranged for you."

"For a dignified fourth-rank Pet Beast Master, using a Secret Realm as your burial place is a bit extravagant."

"However, who told you I am a generous person?"

"You should just enjoy it well."

"You will be gnawed clean of flesh and blood by the Burrowing Rats, and then you will turn into nutrients for that Burrowing Rat to evolve."

Ye Bai sprayed a special potion onto Dahui.

After using this potion, the Burrowing Rats would be unable to discover their location; it was equivalent to being invisible.

If the Burrowing Rats had not formed a encirclement at the beginning and He Guangda had blindly fled, he should have been able to escape.

That would have made things a bit tricky for Ye Bai.

As it turned out, the Burrowing Rat army had surrounded He Guangda, and the sky and earth were filled with menacing Burrowing Rats.

"Hmph, Ye Bai, you are trying to let the snipe and the clam fight so the fisherman can reap the benefits."

"But who told you that I only have one Pet Beast? I am, after all, a fourth-rank Pet Beast Master."

A sound of breaking through the air came from above.

A silver-white butterfly flew down from the sky.

Its entire body flickered with silver light, filled with a terrifying metallic aura, and its two pairs of wings were like two sharp blades.

This was a very precious Exotic Beast named the Sword Butterfly; it was very difficult to cultivate and possessed extremely strong combat power.

A single Sword Butterfly egg could sell for tens of millions of Alliance Coins.

However, this kind of Exotic Beast is very difficult to break through to the fifth rank; the fourth rank is basically the limit, unless there are metal-type heavenly treasures.

"Go, Sword Butterfly, cut open Ye Bai's throat."

The butterfly flapped its wings, and deep, cold sword Qi shook off from its wings, fiercely rushing toward Ye Bai.

Dahui took a deep breath, Thunder Light flickering on its body, and a huge Thunder Ball condensed in Dahui's Zhua.

It swung forward fiercely, and the Thunder Ball was launched; the electric charge landed on the sword Qi emitted by the Sword Butterfly, actually scattering the sword Qi.

He Guangda felt as if he had seen Dahui before; where was it?

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

"Hahaha, I finally remembered; this chinchilla of yours is the one that escaped from the Laboratory."

"That masked man searched for a long, long time in Jiaying City but never found that lost chinchilla."

"He even thought it had run off to some other place."

"So this powerful Thunder Chinchilla was in your hands all along."

"Ye Bai, you really are my God of Wealth."

"Do you know how many billions in rewards that person posted to find this chinchilla?"

"One billion, one billion!"

"Just providing a clue would get you fifty million."

Excitement surged in He Guangda's eyes.

If he had this billion, why the hell would he still be running? He could just rebuild the He Family right there on the spot.

Big Brother, I do still have some luck after all.

"Sword Butterfly, capture the Thunder Dragon Cat."

"Fire Poison Giant Scorpion, finish off the Burrowing Mouse."

He Guangda was still somewhat cultured; he recognized the Burrowing Mouse.

The Sword Butterfly flapped its wings at a low altitude, and suddenly, circles of crescent-like sword Qi appeared on its body.

Wherever it passed, the Third Rank Burrowing Mice were all sliced in two by the sword Qi, including one Third Rank Burrowing Mouse Emperor.

Because the Third Rank Burrowing Mouse Emperor possessed the blessing of its tribe, its defensive power was several times that of other Burrowing Mice.

Until its death, it did not understand why a Third Rank Sword Butterfly could break through its own defense.

"Ye Bai, the Sword Butterfly is the most powerful Pet Beast in my hands."

"I have been stuck at this Fourth Rank Peak stage for a long time; as long as I can find the Geng Metal Essence, I can make the Sword Butterfly evolve."

He Guangda's words left Ye Bai feeling baffled.

You should go find the Geng Metal Essence then; I'm not stopping you.

The Burrowing Mouse Emperor watched its tribesmen being ruthlessly hacked into fragments by the Sword Butterfly, and it was enraged.

It was seen quickly burrowing underground; it intended to launch a retaliation.

The Sword Butterfly danced in the air, with strands of chilling sword Qi entwined within; it intended to use its strongest move next to finish off its opponent.

As it turned out, the Burrowing Mouse Emperor drilled out from the rock wall, giving the Sword Butterfly a huge fright.

The sword Qi on its body surged out completely, and strands of sword light collided with the Burrowing Mouse Emperor, sparking a large amount of Mars.

The Burrowing Mouse Emperor curled its body together to avoid secondary damage from the sword light.

Ye Bai felt that compared to that Blood Rampage Mouse Emperor from the Beast Tide that only knew how to eat, this Burrowing Mouse Emperor was doing quite well.

At the very least, it would not abandon its companions to run away.

Whereas the Blood Rampage Mouse Emperor would use all its strength to make its tribesmen cover its own escape.

After the Burrowing Mouse Emperor was hit by the Blade Storm, much of the rock armor on its body was shattered.

It was in such pain that it bared its fangs and brandished its claws; taking advantage of the Sword Butterfly's distraction, it directly extended its Zhua and pounced on it.

The Sword Butterfly didn't notice for a moment and was pounced to the ground by a huge black shadow.

No matter how the black shadow struggled, the Burrowing Mouse Emperor would not let go.

"Go, Fire Poison Giant Scorpion, use your tail to pierce through the Burrowing Mouse Emperor's head."

Ye Bai felt that this guy He Guangda was a bit stupid; aren't you just reminding the Burrowing Mouse Emperor to be careful?

Does this guy actually want to save the Burrowing Mouse Emperor, or does he not want to?

The Burrowing Mouse Emperor turned its head and opened its mouth; it bit the Fire Poison Giant Scorpion's tail with its teeth and bit the tail off in one go.

The Fire Poison Giant Scorpion rolled on the ground in pain, and fire-red blood emerged from its tail, dripping onto the ground like crimson winter plum blossoms.

A sizzling sound emerged from the ground, and at the same time, a large amount of white smoke rose up.

"Now is the time, Sword Butterfly, Self-Destruct."

Just at this moment, the Sword Butterfly pressed beneath it suddenly emitted a blinding, intense light.

A violent explosion was heard, and the massive shockwave shook the entire ground until it was swaying.

Ye Bai revealed a look of astonishment; what kind of madness was He Guangda having? Why did he suddenly make the Sword Butterfly Self-Destruct?

The entire cave was shaking violently, and a large amount of rocks and dirt fell from above.

After a long time, the tremors finally stopped.

The Sword Butterfly's body was blown to pieces, and more than half of the Burrowing Mouse Emperor's head was also leveled.

Its only remaining eye was wide open, seemingly unable to understand how it had clearly held the upper hand, yet suddenly kicked the bucket.

"Hahaha."

"Ye Bai, you didn't expect that I would have such great resolve, did you?"

"In fact, even if my He Family has fallen on hard times, we still have good things left behind."

Seeking votes, seeking votes. I feel like this chapter didn't express what I wanted to convey; I will revise it again tomorrow.
