Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 218 If you won't do it, there are plenty of trainers who will.

Ye Bai and the others arrived at the Dark Forest at dusk.

The interior of the Dark Forest is dimly lit, with tall and dense trees, thick trunks, and intertwined branches forming canopies that block out the sun.

Only a few rays of light pierced through the dense foliage and fell to the ground. It was by these few rays of light that Ye Bai saw terrifying and distorted shadows growing on the trees.

The shadows looked like distorted human faces.

Every tree was crooked and twisted, and even the leaves were black.

The tree trunks were covered with a thick layer of moss and wrapped with vines.

From a distance, the vines look like menacing venomous snakes, adding to the gloomy and dark atmosphere of the forest.

The air was filled with a damp, rotten smell that was repulsive.

Occasionally, the screams of unidentified creatures echoed through the forest, and the howling of the wind whistling through the treetops sent chills down one's spine.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and moss, which felt soft and made a rustling sound when stepped on.

At that moment, pairs of dark red eyes emerged from the depths of the forest.

The ground made a rustling sound.

【Name: Venomous Scorpion】

[Gender: Male]

【Attribute: Dark/Poison】

[Characteristic: Highly Toxin: Produces a terrifyingly potent poison within the body.]

[Level: Tier 3, Level 6]

【Skill: Scorpion Tail Sting (Proficient): The scorpion's tail, which is like a dagger, can spray out a poisonous stinger the size of a thumb. Once the opponent is stung by the stinger, they will immediately enter a state of severe poisoning.

Venomous Claws (Proficient): The claws are highly venomous; if they touch an opponent, the opponent will quickly become poisoned.

Bloodsucking (Skilled): By using its sharp teeth to pierce the neck of its prey and suck blood, it can restore the prey's strength and heal its wounds.

Digging (skilled): It uses sharp pincers to dig holes and hide underground. Its tail can be disguised as a blooming flower.

Cutting (skilled): Using pliers as sharp as scissors to attack an opponent, capable of easily splitting a venomous snake in two.

[Evolution Route 1: Poison Dragon Scorpion: Dragon-type Crystal Core, Dragon Blood Fruit, Dragon God Stone. The venom of the evolved Poison Dragon Scorpion can even poison fourth-tier beasts.]

[Evolution Route 2: Earth-Dwelling Scorpion: Tier 4 Ground Gem, Tier 4 Insect Stone, Earth Crystal Core; specific ratio to be tested.]

[Comment: These scorpions are the guardians of the outer layer of the Dark Forest. They work diligently, and any strange beast that enters the Dark Forest will be hunted down by these highly venomous scorpions.]

More and more highly venomous scorpions are emerging from the forest.

Each of these highly venomous scorpions is the size of a basketball and is mostly purple in color.

The pliers were like two sharp scissors.

What impressed Ye Bai most was that this strange beast had a deep red tail.

Ye Bai also observed a persistent gray mist behind these highly venomous scorpions.

A highly venomous scorpion leader, at least a fifth-tier scorpion, was lurking menacingly behind them.

Not every mythical beast can evolve. Once it reaches a certain level, most mythical beasts will choose to advance to the next level.

That's why the leader of the venomous scorpions was able to advance all the way to the fifth rank.

"It seems we have to fight. I've heard that scorpion meat tastes quite good."

Ye Bai immediately rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

“It’s harvest time!”

the other side.

The Golden Sun's Residence.

A blond boy, as radiant as the sun and glowing with warmth, sat cross-legged on a rock.

The blond boy's name is Mingkong, and he is the second-ranked contestant in the Phoenix Cup.

His hair turned golden because of his A-level talent—the power of light.

A ball of light, radiating a warm glow, floated in the air.

His eyes were tightly closed as he listened to his subordinates report relevant intelligence.

"Mingkong, after these few days of cleanup, almost 80% of the lone wolves have been eliminated by our four teams."

"According to intelligence from other teams, they have not yet encountered Ye Bai and his duo."

"They seemed to have vanished completely."

"Even divination-type mythical beasts cannot detect Ye Bai's whereabouts."

A girl dressed in a nun's habit, radiating holy light, spoke to Mingkong.

She wore a silver necklace around her swan-like neck.

The necklace ends with a cross.

He held a Bible in his left hand and a scepter of light that emitted a blinding glow in his right.

She is Wang Yan, the seventh-ranked contestant in the Phoenix Cup, who is known as the Holy War Sister.

"Wang Yan, I understand."

"It's alright, Ye Bai is not our main opponent."

"A mere trainer won't cause much of a stir."

"Let's focus our energy on other teams."

A handsome young man standing nearby looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Mingkong suddenly spoke up, "Zhang Dongliang, don't even think about provoking Ye Bai."

"Although I have the ability, it's better to avoid trouble. You should understand what I mean."

"Even if you have any grudges with Ye Bai, now that you've joined the team, you should put the team first."

"Otherwise, I can personally arrange a plane ticket for you to return to the city." "You know, the team doesn't need another trainer like you. If you don't do it, there are plenty of other trainers who will."

Mingkong emphasized it to Zhang Dongliang once more.

Zhang Dongliang's hands, hidden beneath his black robe, were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

On the surface, he still maintained an innocent and harmless appearance.

"I understand, Mingkong. Don't worry, I will prioritize the team's interests."

"But if our team squeezes out the other teams, does that mean we can take down Ye Bai?"

"You know, Ye Bai was taught by Zhang Lingxue, and he has a very sharp eye. He must have collected a lot of treasures in the secret realm."

"If we steal Ye Bai's stuff, we might be able to make a fortune in one fell swoop."

Mingkong made no comment, and Zhang Dongliang felt as if he were talking to thin air.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Just then, other members of the team suddenly ran over.

"Oh no! Countless undead armies have appeared ahead! We're surrounded!"

At this moment, Mingkong noticed a lingering smell of blood emanating from the area.

One by one, crimson skeletons, shrouded in a blood-red aura, appeared.

They have already surrounded the golden sun's residence.

His empty eye sockets stared fixedly in the direction of the camp.

The eerie blue flames within their skulls were flickering.

Mingkong clapped his hands suddenly, and a huge, holy swan appeared.

"Holy light shines."

The body of the pristine swan emitted a blinding light.

All the undead army hit by the bright light emitted black smoke.

However, the Crimson Skeletons are elites created by the Blood Saint lineage.

The holy light only weakened the skeletons; it did not completely eliminate them.

"Interesting, really very interesting."

A meaningful smile appeared on Mingkong's lips: "Even the holy light couldn't completely destroy these skulls."

"Did the Fool's side create these blood-red skulls?"

"Are they trying to weaken our strength by massing troops?"

"That's a dirty trick."

Mingkong pursed his lips.

"Let's charge! Fight our way through and get to the top!"

Mingkong scrambled to his feet, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and landed on the back of the holy swan.

The holy swan flapped its wings, and beams of holy light once again fell upon the blood-red skull.

This time, it accelerated the dissipation of the blood-red skeleton.

Wang Yan picked up the magic book and waved the Staff of Light, causing scorching suns to appear.

Under the scorching sun, one of the blood-red skeletons finally succumbed, its body turning to black ash and vanishing.

Not only that, other teams were also invaded by the Crimson Skeletons.

They all used the Eight Immortals to cross the sea, displaying even more extraordinary abilities.

Even the Blood Saint Son might not know just how strong this wave of examinees entering the secret realm truly is.

In their combined attack, the Crimson Skull suffered a series of defeats.

Ye Bai's side killed wave after wave of venomous scorpions, and finally the number of venomous scorpions began to decrease. Then the leader of the venomous scorpions could no longer hold back.

A colossal creature emerged from the forest. Its enormous size caused trees to be felled by its venomous pincers wherever it went.

As Ye Bai watched the venomous scorpion swagger out, a smile appeared in his eyes.

This highly venomous scorpion is so big, it should be enough to eat.

The battle is about to break out.

That evening, the Sunflower Queen harvested all the Mysterious Yin Fruits. After consuming some of the Mysterious Yin Fruits, Little Charcoal Dog fell into a coma.

Shadow matter appeared on its body, and this matter condensed into thin threads that wrapped around the little charcoal dog.

Not long after, a giant black cocoon appeared. After the little charcoal dog consumed the Xuan Yin Fruit, it was able to enhance its bloodline.

At that moment, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Sunflower King, and it walked step by step toward the already dead, highly venomous scorpion leader, holding a butcher's knife.

The pet had a wound the size of a bowl on its head, covered with sharp claw marks and scratches left by swords on its carapace.

It is clear that this highly venomous scorpion suffered inhuman torture before its death.

Storm Fang Wolf looked on with lingering fear.

After being captured, the venomous scorpion leader refused to surrender and was thus stabbed directly into the brain of the venomous scorpion by the Sunflower Emperor.

The body of the highly venomous scorpion is the size of a millstone, but its brain is estimated to be only the size of a fist.

With its brain destroyed, the venomous scorpion leader was naturally eliminated.

Storm Fang Wolf kept thinking how lucky he was, otherwise he would have become a delicious meal roasted over a fire, just like the venomous scorpion.

The campfire devoured the venomous scorpion's carapace, revealing its translucent, jelly-like flesh, which, after being scorched by the flames, oozed golden oil.

This oil is highly toxic and must be boiled over a fire to render out all the fat before it can be consumed.

Looking at the golden-brown, bouncy scorpion meat, which resembled lobster meat, the blue-haired man couldn't resist picking up a piece.
