The Gray Poison Moth's wings gave off a purple halo beneath the golden sun.
At this moment, she was like a noble queen.
"My Gray Poison Moth is the strongest fighter and the most gifted of all my pet beasts. If she hadn't evolved into a Gray Poison Moth by accident, she might have already broken through to the Sixth Order by now."
"If only I could find an Evolution Path for the Gray Poison Moth."
Ye Bai did not dare reveal to Zhang Lingxue's face that her Gray Poison Moth could indeed evolve further.
But how was Ye Bai supposed to explain how he knew? It would inevitably arouse Zhang Lingxue's suspicions.
After all, a twenty-year-old professor had an IQ of at least 150, if not 160. The Great Deception Technique could not fool her.
Unless he had Naruto's Other Heaven Mouth.
However, Ye Bai was still far too weak. As merely a First Order Pet Beast Master, he simply could not see the data of a Gray Poison Moth as high as the Fifth Order.
For now, Ye Bai could only place his hopes on the Information System and see whether it could reveal any useful information.
"Teacher, why are you here? Why aren't you staying at school? What are you doing out here?"
Ye Bai struck first and turned the accusation back on her.
Zhang Lingxue was so angry at his words that she laughed.
Had this guy's wings grown hard? He actually dared speak to his teacher like that.
But when she saw Da Hui standing silently nearby, with a Sunflower on his head, Zhang Lingxue immediately understood what Ye Bai was relying on.
With two Third Order pet beasts, he naturally did not fear a First Order Burrowing rat. Even a Second Order Berserk Blood Rat would be a piece of cake for them to handle.
According to the records she had read, Sunflowers were the natural nemesis of Burrowing rats. Their steel-like roots could pierce straight through a Burrowing rat's skull in an instant.
"Didn't I tell you to find a safe place to hide when the Beast Tide broke out?" Zhang Lingxue said irritably, folding her arms across her chest.
"Don't think those two Third Order pet beasts behind you can protect you."
"Once a Beast Tide erupts, even I have to flee for my life in panic."
At this moment, dozens of Second Order Berserk Blood Rats had silently surrounded Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue.
Greed gleamed in their eyes. To these Berserk Blood Rats, the two humans were fat meat laid out on a chopping block.
Especially because of the aura emanating from them—the Berserk Blood Rats could sense that if they hunted down these two, they would gain enormous benefits.
"Where did these Berserk Blood Rats come from?"
Zhang Lingxue frowned.
"For Burrowing rats to evolve into Berserk Blood Rats, they need a massive amount of flesh and blood. The residents nearby were clearly evacuated."
"Could there be residents hiding somewhere?"
Ye Bai shook his head. "Teacher, did you forget about that group of fat koi raised in Central Park's artificial lake?"
"They were fed until each one looked like a pig squealing as it awaited slaughter. Every one of them weighed several hundred jin."
"One fat koi alone could help a Burrowing rat evolve into a Berserk Blood Rat, let alone a whole group of them."
"By the way, Teacher, has the Beast Tide been suppressed yet?"
Ye Bai asked what he truly wanted to know.
Zhang Lingxue's identity was not as simple as being a teacher at Sacred Mountain Middle School. Ye Bai felt that she definitely had another identity; he just did not know what it was yet.
"The Beast Tide has been suppressed, but some scattered Burrowing rats escaped."
"You know the traits of Burrowing rats. They are good at playing dead and good at digging holes."
"When the Beast Tide erupted, there were simply too many Burrowing rats. The Pet Beast Guild personnel were overwhelmed, which allowed quite a few of them to escape."
"Now there's another major problem."
Zhang Lingxue let out a long sigh. She had not intended to tell him about this matter.
But Ye Bai was not an outsider, so Zhang Lingxue told him what had happened at the Freezer.
Frozen meat!
A cargo ship smuggling frozen goods!
Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat. This really could trigger another Beast Tide.
"Right now, even Wang Jinyin, the president of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild, has led a team to the Cold Storage Warehouse."
"Because we're short on manpower, the teachers of Sacred Mountain Middle School have also taken on part of the work of clearing out Burrowing rats."
And so she had run into a student wandering around everywhere.
Did this guy even know how terrifying a Beast Tide was?
Although this was only a Second Order Beast Tide, there was no telling whether high-order Strange Beasts might appear.
Zhang Lingxue had fought on the battlefield of a Beast Tide before. A Beast Tide was a veritable meat grinder. If a high-order Strange Beast led one, no number of Pet Beast Masters' lives would be enough to fill it.
The Berserk Blood Rats watched the two chatting away as though no one else existed, feeling that their dignity had been provoked.
The leading Berserk Blood Rat let out a shrill howl toward the sky, and the other Berserk Blood Rats sprang into action.
Baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, they pounced toward Ye Bai.
The fur of these Berserk Blood Rats had all turned dark red, clearly showing that they had broken through some time ago.
A Dark Shadow charged over and sent the Berserk Blood Rats flying.
The Berserk Blood Rats splashed into the water one after another, like dumplings dropped into a boiling pot.
Only then did Zhang Lingxue see clearly that the Dark Shadow was actually Ye Bai's Thousand Changes Silkworm.
The Thousand Changes Silkworm's body gleamed silver-white, and two thick streams of white vapor blasted from its nostrils.
The Thousand Changes Silkworm, which had originally been strutting with its head high, immediately cowered when it saw Zhang Lingxue's inquisitive gaze, as though she wanted to dissect him into slices.
He hurriedly hid behind Ye Bai, not daring to meet Zhang Lingxue's eyes.
Ye Bai secretly laughed. This Thousand Changes Silkworm feared neither heaven nor earth, yet the moment he encountered Zhang Lingxue, he cowered like a mouse spotting a cat.
At this moment, the Berserk Blood Rats crawled out of the artificial lake, their bodies shrouded in vast amounts of Blood Mist.
The Blood Mist was corrosive. Even the marble steps beneath their feet were corroded by it, producing sizzling sounds like oil bubbling in a pan.
"Little Purple, get rid of them."
The Gray Poison Moth beat her wings, and purple powder shot from her bewitching wings.
After the powder landed on the Berserk Blood Rats, their eyes bulged wide as though they were about to pop out.
They clutched tightly at their own throats, their tongues lolling out. After several mournful cries, the Berserk Blood Rats collapsed to the ground one after another, and before long, they had stopped breathing.
Their bodies were also corroded into white bones at an astonishing speed, revealing crystal-clear Blood Cores.
The Thousand Changes Silkworm stared greedily at the Blood Cores, unable to hide the drool at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Thousand Changes Silkworm needs these Blood Cores?"
Noticing the change in the Thousand Changes Silkworm's expression, Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.
Ye Bai nodded. "The Blood Cores of these Berserk Blood Rats seem to strengthen the Thousand Changes Silkworm's defense."
"They can also enhance his recovery ability."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Lingxue immediately said, "Then let the Thousand Changes Silkworm swallow these Blood Cores."
"Ye Bai, the Thousand Changes Silkworm is a mutant breed of the Chameleon Silkworm and extremely valuable research material. You must carefully observe his Evolution Path."
"If he ends up evolving into a Gray Poison Moth, you'll suffer a huge loss."
Wild pet beasts will be changed to Strange Beasts later; the entire text will be revised.
