Chapter 182: Butterfly Hell! The Importance of the Storm Eagle

Unless they are willing to spend their entire lives in the wilderness, never entering a city.

The window of Car No. 1 was open; through it, one could still see many passengers standing beside the platform, waiting for the Worm Train to arrive.

But the Worm Train had already arrived—this was highly abnormal.

Su Yang sniffed lightly, his expression grim.

He smelled many humans—different scents, all of them!

Cheap perfume, acrid tobacco smoke, the spicy aromas of all kinds of street snacks…

Su Yang's Earth Rampart Bear never left his side; recently, the Earth Rampart Bear had gained a rare-level sense of smell talent, greatly enhancing its olfactory ability!

In other words, the Rainbow Illusion Butterflies Wang Hong mentioned could deceive not only vision but also smell.

"Ding~ Task released: Rescue passengers taken by the swarm of Illusion Butterflies!"

"Task reward: Rare-level mental resistance talent, selectable for your pet!"

The system issued another task; Su Yang began to feel some expectations.

Mental resistance talent—he truly needed it; being fooled by illusions was truly frustrating.

"Then get ready—I'm going in!"

"Got it!"

"Mental Shock!"

Wang Hong's eyes instantly turned silver-white.

Su Yang felt a faint breeze brush past, yet saw nothing.

Soon, the entire world changed!

Outside the window, the bright sunlight vanished, replaced by overcast clouds.

The passengers holding luggage, families with children, waiting for the train on the platform—gone.

The clamor of footsteps, shouts, and hawking cries disappeared!

In their place lay human corpses scattered haphazardly, and a few white butterflies drifting slowly.

Every Beast Master's face darkened.

Those white butterflies were over a person's height, their bodies covered in white fur, revealing only their heads, antennae, curled mouthparts, and two large black eyes.

They also had a pair of enormous milky-white wings.

They were scattered everywhere—some resting on rooftops, some on corpses, some on utility poles…

Two butterflies with rainbow-colored wings, stunningly beautiful, lay dead on the ground!

Probably killed by Wang Hong!

Su Yang had read in his books that these white butterflies were called Illusion Butterflies!

Those rainbow-colored, stunningly beautiful large butterflies were nobles among Illusion Butterflies—the Rainbow Illusion Butterflies, whose growth potential generally reached Platinum High-Grade!

Wang Hong pulled out a handful of silver-white scales and handed them out to every Gold-level Beast Master: "These are the scales shed when my pet ascended to Platinum High-Grade; they can resist Gold-level mental attacks and illusions two to three times. Everyone, wear them!"

The Gold-level Beast Masters who received the silver-white scales carefully stored them away, each feeling slightly more at ease.

After all, without Mental-type pets, they were at a severe disadvantage against powerful Mental-type beasts.

"The bloodline limit of Illusion Butterflies is only Silver; Rainbow Illusion Butterflies are extremely rare. Even if you encounter one, it can buy you time to escape… If the scales shatter, it means you gave your all—I won't hold you accountable!"

Wang Hong then ordered his men: "Five of you stay behind to protect the passengers inside the train. The rest, immediately rescue passengers who disembarked. I'll go find the leader of the Illusion Butterflies—even if I can't kill it, I'll buy you time… If ordinary Illusion Butterflies appear in large numbers, avoid them—they can combine their illusions and mental attacks!"

"Understood!"

"Good, let's move out!"

The Worm Train's door opened; Wang Hong charged out first.

Wherever he passed, all the Illusion Butterflies fell to the ground, lifeless.
