Chapter 159 Old Yang's Blacksmith Shop

On the way back, Ye Bai made a phone call to Zhang Lingxue.

He calmly told Zhang Lingxue about the assassin Z's attempt to hunt him down, and that the United States had also organized an event to hunt down highly talented athletes.

Assassin Z was ordered by the United States to hunt down Li Weiyang, but was saved by Ye Bai. Therefore, Assassin Z hates Ye Bai very much.

The killer Z, who was paralyzed to the side, had his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

If their gazes were sharp as knives, they would probably have torn Ye Bai to pieces.

Wait a minute, how does this guy know so much? Oh no, could this implicate the organization?

Oh my god, I'm going to become a sinner of the organization.

Killer Z was filled with anxiety, unsure of what fate awaited him.

When Ye Bai returned to Jiaying City, he entrusted the assassin Z to Chairman Wang as Zhang Lingxue had requested.

Chairman Wang will also personally escort Assassin Z to the provincial capital's labor union to extract more inside information from him.

Ye Bai, however, was quite interested in the superalloy metal on the carapace of the sickle beetle.

He stored the carcass of the sickle beetle in his pet space.

The sickle beetle was so large that it almost took up Ye Bai's pet space.
Once back in the lab, they began to put the sickle beetle's body into the blood pool.

The pool of blood emitted a terrifying suction force.

The flesh and blood of the sickle beetle were peeled away little by little, leaving only its metallic armor.

The flesh on the metal armor had all disappeared.
"Little Charcoal Dog, I have a task for you."

"Keep using fire on this carapace."

"You'll be considered successful when you can melt the carapace into an iron disc."

The little charcoal dog breathed flames at its shell.

The carapace remained completely still in the flames, without even a trace of red-hot discoloration. The task ahead is arduous.

It seems that extremely high temperatures are required to melt the metal armor and transform it into iron discs.

The sickle beetle is a fourth-tier pet, while the little charcoal dog is at most a peak second-tier pet.

If the carapace can be melted into an iron disc, it proves that the little charcoal dog's flame temperature is extremely high.

Its ability to control flames has reached a level of consummate skill.

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm looked teary-eyed, its bottom still red and swollen. Ye Bai prepared some medicine and applied it to the silkworm's bottom, and a cool sensation emanated from it, causing the silkworm to show a comfortable expression.

At this moment, Ye Bai wanted to say something from the bottom of his heart to the Myriad Transformations Silkworm.

"The Myriad Transformations Silkworm: There are always people better than you, and there are always higher levels to reach. Your defense is strong enough to withstand attacks from other beasts of the same level."

"But against a pet beast stronger than you, this level of defense is not enough."

"You need to raise your defenses to the extreme."

"You should have seen that sickle beetle by now."

"Its defenses were so strong that even the Sunflower King's butcher's knife couldn't break through it, but Big Grey slapped its head right into its neck."

"If you encountered a pet beast of equal strength to Big Gray, would you also get your head slapped into your neck by the opponent, even though there's not much of a clear distinction between your head and neck?"

"Therefore, you need to maximize your own defense so that defensive moves can amplify your defense."

"This is the direction your training should be in."

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm's eyes were filled with terror, but soon, a look of determination flashed across them.

You need to improve your defense and speed to effectively evade enemy attacks.

Wanbiancan plans to practice running every day to improve her speed.

With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

Wanbiancan plans to improve herself by making a little progress every day.

It now feels a sense of crisis; it can't afford to be surpassed by the little charcoal dog, otherwise, where will it save face?

It also plans to eat some metal to improve its tempering skill.

The Ever-Changing Silkworm discovered that by consuming metal, its proficiency in the Tempering skill skyrocketed. After this incident, it's estimated that the Ever-Changing Silkworm will practice the Tempering skill constantly until it becomes a passive skill.

Seeing the sickle beetle killed right in front of it, the ever-changing silkworm was traumatized. If such a thing happened to it, the ever-changing silkworm would probably be dead beyond any hope of survival.

It needs to become strong, it can't be the weakest link in the team, and it can't rely on Big Gray for everything.

What if Big Grey gets tripped up by other pets, or what if its own pet master encounters a powerful enemy?

Just like this time, if it weren't for Big Grey saving the day, his pet trainer would probably be dead.

I signed an equal contract with the pet trainer. If the pet trainer dies, I will die too.

After all, not everyone has much of the Styx River water.

The sunflower queen, clutching two broken butcher knives, lay on the ground, sobbing softly, her eyes brimming with tears.

It really loves this butcher's knife so much that it even sleeps with it in its arms.

"Sunflower Queen, don't be sad. In a while, I'll find the old blacksmith to repair your butcher's knife, how about that?"

Ye Bai tried to dissuade the Sunflower King, but it didn't seem happy at all; in fact, it appeared somewhat agitated. "What's wrong, Sunflower King? Just say what's on your mind."

The Sunflower King shook its head and released the white radish to provide itself with online translation.

"You big idiot, it wants you to go to the blacksmith shop right now and fix its butcher's knife, otherwise it won't know how to sleep at night."

"I often see the Sunflower King carrying this thing around and showing it off. It seems he really loves this thing."

Ye Bai nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll go find the blacksmith right now and incorporate the teeth of the Poisonous Dragon and the Black Water Giant Dragon into the butcher's knife."

"By then, I estimate only sixth-tier pets will be able to withstand your slaughter."

The teeth of the Blackwater Giant Dragon and the Poisonous Dragon were preserved. Ye Bai planned to integrate the teeth of the Poisonous Dragon and the Blackwater Giant Dragon into their respective butcher knives to ensure that they would not interfere with each other.

"By the way, where is that Old Yang's blacksmith shop?"

Ye Bai searched for the location of Old Yang's blacksmith shop and found that it was not far from the school.

He took the fragments of the two butcher knives with him and the heartbroken Sunflower Queen to the blacksmith's shop.

Old Yang's blacksmith shop is located in a remote place, not far from the garbage mountain in Jiaying City.

The garbage mountain here is filled with all kinds of discarded and scrapped garbage.

Old Yang's blacksmith shop was brightly lit with fire, and they were burning metal scraps, turning them into molten iron.

The molten iron quickly solidified into a ball, dripping into the cold water with a hissing sound.

After finding the location, Ye Bai swaggered over to pay his respects.

Wearing his reading glasses, Old Yang looked at the broken butcher knife and exclaimed, "Good! This butcher knife was actually made from a meteorite from outer space!"

"It's a pity the technique was too crude, wasting such good meteorite iron."

"Kid, let me ask you, are you going to bring your own materials, or will we provide them?"

"The materials provided in the shop are more expensive, but they are comprehensive. If you don't need this service, you don't need to pay for it."

Ye Bai then took out two more exquisitely crafted boxes and pushed them in front of Old Yang.

When Lao Yang opened the box, he found two sharp fangs inside.

"The materials are excellent, truly excellent. I even think that with these four fangs, the Butcher's Blade could be upgraded to a fourth-tier treasure."

"How do you intend to proceed with the refining?"

Ye Bai said seriously, "I'd like to put the black giant dragon's teeth in one butcher's knife and the poisonous dragon in another. I wonder if that's feasible?"

Sparks drifted out from the stove, reflecting Old Yang's excited face.

"No, your approach is too simplistic. It would be better to put a poisonous fang in each of your butcher knives."

"I'll spend the next few days figuring out how to forge a butcher's knife imbued with spiritual power. You guys go back now, leave me your phone number, and I'll call you when I've figured it out."

"Don't worry, I won't take your materials. Don't worry."

Old Yang said with a smile, "The fangs of the Poisonous Dragon and the Black Water Giant Dragon are very precious materials."

He had wanted to try it for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage.

"The meteorite iron is good, but the forging method is too rough. Otherwise, how could a kitchen knife made of meteorite iron break?"

Old Yang quickly came up with an idea and started scribbling on his pen.

When Ye Bai returned to the research institute, Zhang Lingxue looked at him anxiously.

"Ye Bai, unless something really happens, remember not to leave the research institute. Just keep going between the school, the research institute, and the incubation center."

"Otherwise, you might be ambushed by assassins. Who knows who hates you so much?"

"They actually offered a bounty of ten million Alliance coins on the dark web."

"Money can be a powerful motivator. I have no idea what those guys might do."

Zhang Lingxue went on and on about several cases.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I've found what you mentioned earlier and given it to you."

"The Burrowing Rat's Secret Realm contains a large number of Earth Crystal Cores and Earth Crystals. I have already subdued the Burrowing Rat; the rest is up to you."

After Ye Bai obtained the Earth Crystal Core and Earth Crystal, he looked at the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, which had a lot of earth attributes, and an evolution path appeared on its body.

[Giant Rock Butterfly: 4 Earth Crystals, 4 Earth Cores. Dig a hole in an area filled with Earth-type energy to evolve Giant Rock Butterfly.]

"As expected, we are going to conduct group experiments to explore the mysteries of the evolution of the ever-changing silkworm."

For this purpose, Ye Bai prepared ten ever-changing silkworms, which he planned to divide into two groups.

The first group studied how the ever-changing silkworm transforms into the lightning butterfly.

The second group studied how the variegated silkworm evolved into the giant rock butterfly.

If I had published this evolutionary method before announcing it in the US, the entire research team in the US would probably be furious.

Big Grey and Sunflower King were busy running around on site, while Hundred Transformations Silkworm was training in the training room of Little Charcoal Dog Research Institute.

"Come on, let's begin the experiment."
