Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 290 Lava Dragon Turtle
Wang Gang is skilled at manipulating spores.

His pet animals are all mushroom-shaped.

Ripples appeared around them, and giant mushrooms began to emerge.

Snow mushrooms, fire mushrooms, and highly poisonous mushrooms have appeared.

The top of the ice mushroom is covered with frost, giving it a chilling appearance.

It wields two ice shields and is covered in icy aura.

It carried a large number of ice spikes on its back.

"Ye Bai, is it? You choose the path to hell when there is one."

Wang Gang is a man with a gloomy appearance.

Mushroom-like mycelium-like growths also appeared on his body.

It seems he's also been parasitized by the mushroom.

"Do you feel like I'm being taken over by a mushroom?"

"Haha, actually my body was used as a breeding ground for mushrooms."

"I can control all kinds of spores at will."

"And my body can also transform into various spores."

Wang Gang smiled.

He stretched out his hand, and a milky white jade mushroom appeared.

This mushroom looks just like a fine glass cup.

"Wow, a white jade glass mushroom! This is a mythical beast specifically created for healing!"

"It is said that this kind of exotic beast is extremely rare. I never expected that you would actually cultivate it."

Ye Bai exclaimed in admiration.

The White Jade Glass Mushroom can heal a dying person and quickly restore them to their optimal condition.

"With such abilities, why don't you serve the Yan Kingdom?"

Ye Bai frowned as he spoke.

Wang Gang's deep eyes gazed into the distance, a hint of effeminacy on his face.

"My parents served the Yan Kingdom and died at Nantianmen."

"As an orphan, I was supposed to receive a large sum of compensation, but I never expected that the compensation would be embezzled."

"When I was hungry, I gnawed on tree bark and ate grass roots."

"I've also eaten Guanyin clay before. My stomach was so bloated that I felt extremely uncomfortable."

"I persevered through gritted teeth until I awakened this talent for manipulating spores, only to find that I didn't even have a pet."

"It was Professor Du Bo who gave me a different life, a second life."

“I am very grateful to Professor Du Bo.”

Wang Gang's eyes welled up with tears.

"Ye Bai, you are a genius."

"A genius who could have been remembered for generations."

"But if you encounter me, then you can only suffer a crushing defeat."

A hint of madness appeared in Wang Gang's eyes.

"Don't worry, I will preserve your body and soul, and then use spores to turn you into a living dead."

"I'll use your body to grow mushrooms, you know that?"

"Professor Du Bo gave me the order to eliminate you at all costs."

"I must carry out Professor Du Bo's orders and torture you to death."

"Ice Mushroom, use Ice Spikes."

"Fire Mushroom, Flame Tongue".

The ice mushroom slammed its fist onto the ground.

Endless ice spikes emerged from the ground.

The ice spikes shot towards Ye Bai in a dense barrage.

At that moment, a flame as powerful as a tsunami erupted from the mouth of the Netherwolf.

Wherever the flames passed, the ice spikes melted away.

At this moment, the Fire Mushroom spewed out a long tongue of fire from its mouth.

The flames swept towards the direction of the Netherwolf.

The Netherwolf opened its blood-red maw, and flames surged into its mouth like a whale swallowing its prey.

After the flames had all disappeared, the Nether Wolf let out a big burp.

"Damn it, Flame-shroom, explode!"

"Turn everything around here to ashes."

Wang Gang laughed coldly.

Driven by his extreme views, he wanted to kill everyone in the laboratory.

Do you have that ability?

"Netherwolf, use Shadow Transformation to destroy the Fiery Mushroom."

After hearing this, Wang Gang looked disdainful.

"My Flaming Mushroom is almost as strong as your Nether Wolf."

"How could he be killed by the Netherwolf so easily?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Fire Mushroom's body was pierced by the Nether Wolf's claws.

The core of the Fire Mushroom was taken by the Nether Wolf.

The tearing pain caused by the broken contract made Wang Gang feel like his soul was being ripped apart by an invisible hand.

"Frosty Dragon, this Ice Mushroom is yours to handle. Go and prepare your food."

Ye Bai summoned the Frost Dragon.

The immense dragon's might made the Ice Mushroom tremble; the dragon bloodline was practically the pinnacle of all alien beasts.

Countless mythical beasts dream of becoming dragon-type pets.

"Resist, Snow Mushroom!"

Wang Gang shouted loudly, wincing in pain, but if he didn't make a sound, the Ice Mushroom might be torn to shreds by the Frost Dragon.

Just like how the Flame-shroom's core was ripped out by the Ghost Wolf, the Ice-shroom used its trumpet-like mouth to spew out streams of icy blue air.

The air currents condensed in mid-air, and streaks of frost bombarded the Frost Dragon.

The Frost Dragon grinned. It was originally a favorite of frost, so how could it possibly be frozen into ice?
The cool breeze made the Frost Dragon feel exceptionally comfortable.

The sensation was so intense that every pore on the Frost Dragon's body opened up, and it transformed into an arrow, hurtling towards the Ice Mushroom.

A figure in icy blue flashed by.

The Ice Mushroom collapsed to the ground, a hole the size of a bowl appearing in its chest.

An icy blue liquid flowed from the Snow Mushroom, splashing all over the ground.

"Ice Mushroom!!!"

Wang Gang was immediately shocked.

At this moment, he found himself surrounded by Nether Wolves and Frost Dragons.

"Netherwolf, capture Wang Gang."

Ye Bai didn't want a special talent like Wang Gang to die like this.

His ability to cultivate white jade glass mushrooms is a huge plus.

The White Jade Glass Mushroom is a very delicate pet.

It has very high requirements for its growing environment; it cannot tolerate high or low temperatures, and it also has high requirements for water and soil.

There were also attempts to transplant white jade glass mushrooms into the experimental field.

However, the white jade glass mushrooms that grow well in the wild wither immediately and emit an unpleasant odor once they are planted in the experimental field.

This stench cannot be eliminated within a month.

A hint of madness flashed in Wang Gang's eyes as he threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, even if I die, I would rather not become someone else's prisoner."

Wang Gang's body began to swell, and his eyes, nostrils, and ears emitted blinding light.

He refused to be taken prisoner and detonated himself.

"Self-destruction?"

"The Ever-Changing Silkworm".

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm summoned four clones, which scattered around and formed a small barrier.

A blinding beam of light burst forth from the barrier.

Deafening sounds crashed against the barrier wave after wave.

Even the four clones summoned by the Myriad Transformations Silkworm had drops of blood flowing from their nostrils.

Clearly, Wang Gang's explosion had exceeded their capacity to withstand it.

After the light faded, the four clones vanished into thin air.

The ever-changing silkworm lay on the ground, panting heavily.

It almost couldn't hold on just now. It overexerted its mental strength to successfully protect Ye Bai and the entire underground laboratory.

Looking at Wang Gang, who had turned into charred remains, a hint of regret appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

"If this talent for manipulating spores were used to train botanical experts, what a fantastic result it would be."

“Key talents should be given priority in training. During talent tests, how many people miss out on a lot of opportunities because they don’t have a good understanding of their talents?”

"By the time they discover it, their talent has been underdeveloped to a very low level, and they no longer have the energy to develop it."

"Their sharpness has also been worn down by society."

Ye Bai felt that Yan Kingdom still needed to work harder on testing talent.

Otherwise, some exceptional talents will be lost.

Just as Ye Bai was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that white mold had begun to appear on the ground where Wang Gang had been standing, and this mold was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mold quickly devoured Wang Gang's remains.

He then wiped his eyes.

"The Sunflower Queen".

Sunflower Emperor understood what Ye Bai meant.

It stretched out its leaves and gently touched the white fungus on the ground.

A drop of dew fell from the leaf onto the mold.

These molds multiplied at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, a giant spore, two meters tall, formed.

After he opened his Eye of Insight, he discovered the clues.

There was even a human-shaped creature inside the spore, holding several white jade glass mushrooms in its hands.

A stream of life force was being extracted from the white jade glass mushroom and flowing into its charred body.

"So this was Wang Gang's scapegoat scheme."

"This has a major flaw."

"As long as anyone remains here, they will surely discover the truth behind Wang Gang's faked death."

"However, since your current form is somewhere between a human and a beast, I should be able to use a beast card to seal you away completely."

A beast card immediately appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

He waved it at the giant mushroom, and a terrifying suction force pulled the mushroom into it.

At this point, many of the people parasitized by the spores gradually regained consciousness.

However, because they have been parasitized by spores for so long, the spores in their bodies have not been completely cleared out.

So they drifted off to sleep again.

"Phew, once the blood gu has consumed the spores on these people, they should be able to wake up."

All the medicine produced by Lanfa has been injected into the vegetative patient's body.

Just then, a loud alarm sounded.

Beep, beep, beep.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Ye Bai emerged from the underground laboratory with utter astonishment and disbelief.

The sky, which was originally bright and sunny, was now covered with dark clouds and rumbling thunder.

In an instant, the dark clouds parted, and countless black fireballs fell from the sky like a meteor shower.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur as the fireball hurtled toward the fortress at Nantianmen.

The fireball streaked across the sky, accompanied by howling wind and dazzling flames, before crashing into the sturdy city wall with a deafening roar.

Under repeated impacts, cracks began to appear in the sturdy outer wall of Nantianmen, with stones flying everywhere and dust billowing up.

General Han Yan, standing on the city wall, had a solemn expression. He nervously gripped his weapon, a halberd.

This halberd is made of black and gold metal, and its surface is covered with sharp, cold light.

Its long handle resembles black and gold dragon scales.

Drops of blood dripped down the halberd.

The fireball, like a raging storm, mercilessly swept everything away, filling the air with the heavy smell of gunpowder and burnt fumes.

Both Jiao Mujiao and Fang Ritu watched nervously as the black fireball hurtled down from the sky.

"That lava dragon turtle is about to awaken."

"The black fireball is the prelude to its awakening."

Han Yan sighed deeply. He understood how troublesome that lava dragon turtle would be.

Each time it leads a large number of strange beasts to besiege the South Heavenly Gate, after most of the beasts have died, it will lower its head and gnaw on their bodies.

It possesses absolute defensive capabilities; even a typical seventh-tier pet master cannot break through the Lava Dragon Turtle's defenses.

Its layered, glossy black shell is formed by the Lava Dragon Turtle absorbing special metals from magma day after day, year after year.

Ordinary physical attacks have no effect on the Lava Turtle.

Even if someone sends out a water-type pet to attack the Lava Dragon Turtle.

However, the Lava Dragon Turtle's body is so enormous that the attacks from water-type pets are like small streams of water.

Not only will it fail to defeat the Lava Turtle, it will also enrage it.

In any case, the Lava Dragon Turtle will only make tentative attacks on the South Heavenly Gate, and will not actually make a move.

Once it has collected enough food, the Lava Turtle will leave after it has eaten and drunk its fill.

"Fortunately, the Lava Dragon Turtle doesn't appear every month. Once it's full, it will return to the lava to continue sleeping."

I need to work harder tomorrow.
