The Peculiarities of the Thousand Changes Silkworm

That dark shadow was precisely the Blood Steel Rat, another evolution path of the Drill Groundhog.

After devouring the flesh of its own kind and gnawing on enough metallic substances, the Drill Groundhog had finally completed its ultimate evolution.

Its defense rivaled that of the Drill Groundhog, but its aggression was higher than the Drill Groundhog's.

Two Second Order Strange Beasts fighting the Thousand Changes Silkworm together immediately put considerable pressure on it.

Especially since the Berserk Blood Rat's claws could secrete potent poison; as long as the Berserk Blood Rat's claws hit, the target would fall into a poisoned state.

Faced with the menacing gaze of two Second Order Strange Beasts, Ye Bai instead had great confidence in the Thousand Changes Silkworm.

After all, this guy's defense was extremely strong; even the Third Order Sunflower King needed seven or eight Vine Whips to defeat it.

And these two Drill Groundhogs had only just evolved to Second Order, at the stage where they had just condensed their Crystal Cores; they hadn't yet adapted to their evolved bodies—this was the best time to kill them.

The Berserk Blood Rat swung its Sharp Claws and pounced forward, a trace of purple venom seeping from its claws.

The Blood Steel Rat was about to act, but its limbs were firmly bound by vines that appeared out of nowhere.

It turned out the Sunflower King had made its move, sealing the Blood Steel Rat's movements.

Da Hui scratched his face stupidly; these two Second Order Strange Beasts, one slap from him would turn them directly into a bloody pulp.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a big guy hiding in the distance.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, use Roll."

The Thousand Changes Silkworm curled its body together again and avoided the Berserk Blood Rat's attack by rolling at high speed.

The Berserk Blood Rat's Sharp Claws stabbed into a nearby lamppost; the lamppost, made of Super Alloy, was pierced through, leaving a bowl-sized hole.

It pulled its claws out, its Blood Red eyes fixed on the Thousand Changes Silkworm.

A Blood Red Mist spread from the Berserk Blood Rat's body.

The muscles on its body began to swell, and at the same time, it stood upright.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, take out the Berserk Blood Rat first."

The Berserk Blood Rat had just completed its evolution; the outer layer of skin on its body was still soft, appearing Blood Red.

As time passed, its outer skin would be oxidized by the air, turning dark red, and its defense would increase several times over.

"The Thousand Changes Silkworm is still lacking some attack methods."

The Thousand Changes Silkworm repeated its old trick, spitting out a large amount of Silk Thread from its mouth; these Silk Threads, sharp enough to cut through metal, shot toward the direction of the Berserk Blood Rat.

But a mocking expression appeared in the Berserk Blood Rat's eyes.

The moment the Silk Threads came into contact with the Blood Mist, a large amount of white steam rose.

This Blood Mist had extremely strong corrosiveness.

The Berserk Blood Rat grinned; it had already discovered the Thousand Changes Silkworm's weakness in attack.

This guy's defense was strong, but its attack methods were very scarce; it could handle First Order Strange Beasts, but against them, who had already advanced to Second Order, it simply wasn't enough.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, aim at the lamppost, Spit Out Silk Thread, secure it, and then pull hard."

Ye Bai continued issuing commands.

Although the Thousand Changes Silkworm didn't understand why it had to do this, it obediently followed Ye Bai's instructions and spat out Silk Thread.

The Silk Thread wrapped around the lamppost, and the Thousand Changes Silkworm gave a sudden yank.

With a teeth-grinding crack, the lamppost actually toppled over.

And it fell right toward the direction of the Berserk Blood Rat.

The Berserk Blood Rat, unable to dodge in time, was hit by the lamppost weighing several dozen kilograms, with most of its body pinned underneath.

It struggled desperately, letting out squeaking sounds, but still couldn't break free.

The Thousand Changes Silkworm hopped over in front of the Berserk Blood Rat and suddenly spat out sharp Silk Thread from its mouth.

The crystal-clear Silk Thread directly pinned the Berserk Blood Rat firmly to the ground.

With a sudden pull from the Thousand Changes Silkworm, a beating Blood Core appeared on the ground; this was the Berserk Blood Rat's Blood Core, a existence similar to a Strange Beast's Crystal Core.

After losing its Blood Core, the Berserk Blood Rat's eyes became dull and lifeless; it let out a mournful cry to the sky and died.

The Thousand Changes Silkworm sniffed the Blood Core with its big nose, smelling a pleasant scent on it.

Then it looked up at Ye Bai with pleading eyes, and Ye Bai nodded: "Alright, you can eat this."

So the Thousand Changes Silkworm extended its long tongue, rolled the beating Blood Core into its mouth, and crunched on it like eating a crispy snack, making a cracking sound.

Soon, a warm sensation surged from the Thousand Changes Silkworm's stomach toward its limbs and bones.

The stamina the Thousand Changes Silkworm had just consumed recovered at a visible rate.

At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly noticed that this passage of text had appeared in the Thousand Changes Silkworm's skill bar.

[Berserk (1/100) Not Entry Level]

A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Holy crap, this was the Thousand Changes Silkworm's twisted trait—it could actually comprehend skills by devouring Strange Beast Crystal Cores.

The Blood Steel Rat charged forward at this moment, staring at its companion's corpse, endless grief filling its eyes.

It had been bound by the Sunflower King's vines just moments ago, forced to watch helplessly as its companion was slain by the Thousand Changes Silkworm.

Burning with rage, the Blood Steel Rat decided to hold nothing back. The spikes on its body stood erect, gleaming with a chilling light under the sun's rays.

The bloody Sha Qi seeping from the Steel Spikes further amplified the Blood Steel Rat's ferocious aura.

The Blood Steel Rat then took a deep breath, and its Steel Spikes shot out like Pear Blossom Rain, aiming to drive the Thousand Changes Silkworm to its death.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, high-speed Roll."

The Thousand Changes Silkworm curled its body together, rolling across the ground like a heavy war chariot, leaving a trail of sharp Steel Spikes in its wake.

These Steel Spikes also carried corrosive substances.

At the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild, the guild's upper echelons had all gathered together.

A hint of relief appeared on Wang Jinyin's face.

Before the Beast Tide erupted, they had managed to locate the Spatial Rift in time.

After a fierce battle, a portion of the Burrowing Rats were killed by them, while another portion escaped.

Although Burrowing Rats were still pouring out of the Spatial Rift endlessly, everything remained within controllable limits.

"I've already reported this to the Provincial Capital's Pet Beast Guild. They'll send more powerful Pet Beast Masters to handle this matter."

"As for the Burrowing Rats that escaped, we'll dispatch specialized personnel to clean them up, minimizing the damage to Jiaying City."

"Additionally, the Provincial Capital's Pet Beast Guild sent word: we are to find that person with the Future Prediction Talent at all costs."

"This kind of person is extremely important to our Yan Country Alliance!"

Wang Jinyin stated decisively.

"Guild Leader, now that the Beast Tide is under control, should we maintain the Level One Red Alert status across the entire city?"
