Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 268: Gu Man and Hundreds of Insects
Ye Bai flipped through the list and finally asked for a thousand eggs each of the Mighty Longhorn Beetle and Thunder Beetle larvae that he had his eye on.

Both of these insect-type monsters are quite powerful, but their weaknesses are also obvious.

The Mighty Longhorn Beetle is incredibly strong, but very slow, making it vulnerable to being killed by faster beasts.

The lightning beetle, like an exploding rock, burned itself to illuminate its surroundings.

So Ye Bai took advantage of the time to raise the Mighty Ants to conduct experiments on the Mighty Longhorn Beetle and the Thunder Beetle.

After paying the bill, he walked away into the distance.

Ye Bai also planned to reverse the roles of hunter and prey, as he had a way to devour those who were tracking him.

As for the tiny insect on his body...

Flames erupted from Ye Bai's body, burning most of the insects to ashes.

Only a few insects were left to guide their current path.

"That's strange, how come most of my tracking Gu have suddenly been destroyed?"

The store manager smiled coldly.

"Has it been discovered?"

"Haha, however, my tracking Gu has a very special ability, which is that it can reproduce indefinitely. As long as one of the tracking Gu is alive, it can reproduce indefinitely."

"Kid, you can't escape my pursuit."

"Once I steal your beast, I'll chop off both your hands and feed them to the dogs."

The shop manager bit his finger, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged out. A large worm, about the size of a thumb, crawled out from under his skin.

The insect had a large mouth filled with sharp fangs.

The insect was as white and plump as a silkworm. It opened its sharp teeth and bit down hard on the bleeding finger.

Its body instantly swelled up.

Its body suddenly grew several times larger, and its originally fair and jade-like skin began to glow with a blood-red light.

Before long, it solidified into a cocoon. With a few cracking sounds, the insect completely broke open and turned into a blood-red insect flying in the air.

Its wings are blood red, and its eyes are as large as obsidian.

The insect flapped its wings and flew through the air, making a sharp, piercing sound.

"Track the mother Gu and help me find the whereabouts of the offspring Gu."

The store manager said sternly.

The tracking mother Gu transformed into a streak of red light and flew into the distance.

"Come out, centipede, catch up with the tracking mother Gu."

"The store manager said in a cold voice."

This centipede, which is three meters long, has a red head, as red as a fine ruby.

Its body is black, gleaming with an obsidian-like luster.

These strange beasts are not very strong, but they are fast, and are usually used as mounts.

The short shopkeeper sat on the centipede's head and rushed towards the location where the tracking Gu had disappeared.

The tracking mother Gu will secrete a pungent odor in the air, and only trained Gu farmers can see its tracks.

On the outskirts of the Tianyun Beast Market, there is an island in the river covered with reeds.

This island in the middle of the river is situated in a swift current, with reeds reaching up to three meters in height. The surrounding area is deserted, making it an ideal place for an ambush.

Ye Bai landed on the island in the middle of the river early, waiting for the shopkeeper to arrive.

At that moment, a dark shadow rushed over like an arrow, creating a long, narrow ripple in the river that spread outwards.

"You're here, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

A cold glint flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

He will capture this man and hand him over to his senior brother, Zhang Jian, for interrogation, so that he will reveal more secrets.

"Go forth, Myriad Transformations Silkworm."

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm manipulated its Five Elements Butterfly clones to quietly meet them.

As soon as the centipede stepped onto the outer edge of the island in the middle of the river, its body suddenly tore into pieces, instantly staining the entire river surface red.

This is a tearing wound caused by the Five Elements Butterfly's skill, Xunfeng.

The short shopkeeper had already jumped into the reeds of the island in the middle of the river when the centipede was torn to pieces.

He was covered in grass clippings and looked very disheveled.

"Damn it, it seems you already knew."

"Hmph, but it doesn't matter. The centipede is just the lowest-level alien beast I've bred."

"I am a member of the Death God Society, my code name is Hundred Insects."

"Haha, you'll just have to be my baby's food."

Ye Bai saw that the shop manager's abdomen was wriggling.

He is a Gu master, with countless insect eggs hidden in his body. As long as he has a thought, these insect eggs can hatch quickly.

Suddenly, an insect egg was sprayed out of the shopkeeper's mouth, fell to the ground, and sprang up as soon as it was exposed to the wind.

Soon the egg was torn open, and a huge Thunder Spider appeared.

The Thunder Spider is a monster with both lightning and insect elements. It has two large claws and eight eyes that look like light bulbs.

Its legs were covered in long hair, and golden arcs of electricity were spreading across the Thunder Spider's body.

"Go for it, Big Gray. When it comes to fighting against lightning-type monsters, sending out Big Gray is definitely the more reliable option."

However, the moment Bai Chong saw Da Hui, a meaningful glint appeared on his face.

"It's been a long time, Thunder Totoro. Ever since you escaped from the laboratory, I've been ordered to search for you."

"Haha, as long as I capture you and bring you back, the bigwigs of the Death God Society will definitely take me as their most loyal subordinate."

"Thunder Spider, use Thunder Needle to capture this escaped Thunder Totoro."

After hearing what Bai Chong said, Big Gray showed no expression on its face, but it gripped Thor's Axe tightly and revealed a resolute expression.

It is clear that Big Gray has completely overcome his fear of the past.

The Thunder Spider opened its huge mouth, and arcs of light condensed from the air.

Suddenly, countless lightning needles, each as thick as a thumb, shot out from the mouth of the Thunder Spider.

"I'm sure the Grim Reaper will be overjoyed to learn that you're still alive."

"You are the only successful test subject."

"There are suitable test subjects that the Grim Reaper himself has cultivated."

"I didn't expect that after hiding for so long, I still managed to find you."

A smile of immense excitement spread across Bai Chong's face.

He cruelly licked his parched lips.

"I never expected that I would be assigned to guard the warehouse, but I ended up making a great contribution."

"The adults will surely praise me."

"When I get promoted and become CEO, the boss will definitely treat me well."

Only Baichong knew how much the Grim Reaper longed to possess this Thunder Totoro.

After all, this is a work meticulously designed by the Grim Reaper.

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of lightning needles, Big Gray simply raised its claws and slammed them down heavily in front of it.

A sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.

At that moment, all the incoming lightning needles were split in two.

Not only that, even the Thunder Spider was torn to pieces at this moment.

"Impossible. The Thunder Spirit Spider is a fifth-tier beast, a beast that I have painstakingly nurtured for so long."

"How could they be defeated in one blow?"

Bai Chong's eyes widened, his face full of doubt.

"Originally, I planned to hand you over to the Pet Beast Guild so they could interrogate you properly about your crimes."

"However, I've changed my mind now."

Only the dead can keep secrets.

Ye Bai said coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling glint.

"Big Grey, this person is yours."

Centipede sneered, "Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you've dealt with a fifth-tier beast?"

He took a deep breath, his stomach was rumbling, and he opened his mouth wide.

Countless insects rapidly hatched inside his body and shot out.

These insects grow rapidly in the wind, and soon a legion of fifth-tier insect-type alien beasts emerged.

"Haha, kid, don't think I don't know that the armored ants you bought contain some powerful ants."

"I was originally a breeder of insect-type monsters. If I didn't want to catch you, this big fat sheep, why would I take such a risk?"

"Charge, my insectoid army!"

"Let's eliminate this person completely."

Ye Bai glanced at them briefly and saw that among these strange beasts were four-winged black mosquitoes, golden beetles, and giant pincers.

"Not bad, you've betrayed the Gu Poison Cult. What are your thoughts on that?"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

A look of surprise and uncertainty crossed Bai Chong's face, which then contorted.

"So what if you know?"

Do you really think I would mind something like this?

"The more you know, the faster you'll die."

"Go! Wipe out these humans completely!"

Bai Chong pointed at Ye Bai and said, but unfortunately a drop of liquid fell on Bai Chong's head.

Curious, he touched it with his hand, and to his horror, it was pitch-black blood.

At this moment, Bai Chong looked up and saw that the insect army he had painstakingly created was collapsing.

Countless fragments fell from the sky, drenching him completely.

"That's strange. I'm supposed to be immune to all poisons, so why am I feeling like I'm being burned by fire?"

"It hurts so much, it really hurts so much."

The insects' bodies looked as if they had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid.

His body instantly turned into pus and blood.

The moment Baichong died, countless items emerged from his body and scattered around him.

"Space Pelican, Sunflower King, don't let these items get away."

"Do not let them come into contact with the blood of the insects, as this blood is corrosive."

Ye Bai shouted loudly.

Ye Bai didn't notice that a tiny insect, about the size of a mosquito, burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

The sunflower's thick, sturdy roots swiped the tiny insect, crushing it to ashes, and then, with an expression of profound satisfaction, it departed.
