Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 349 The Secret of the Research Institute

The dark, gaping gate, like the gaping maw of an abyss, silently intimidated people.

Darkness is humanity's most feared enemy; being in an extremely dark environment can instill immense terror.
Ye Bai recalled the intelligence he had seen before.

[The mysterious laboratory hides many secrets, essentially the 13th district of America. It contains numerous relics of the ancient gods. Contact with these relics will incur the gods' curse, turning you into a lizardman, octopus-man, or a hundred-eyed man, or causing you to explode from the curse. Light or dark attribute skills can suppress the curse, but to dispel it, you need to find a pet with holy attributes.]

Therefore, the Dark Butterfly King must have unconsciously touched the relics of the Old Gods and entered an indescribable state.

But isn't the Dark Butterfly King a dark-attribute pet? How could it be infected by the curse?
Could it be that, as the intelligence reports, the curse has only been suppressed and only a truly holy-attribute pet can possibly drive away the alien beast?
Ye Bai felt it necessary to conduct an experiment to make inferences and demonstrate the results.

To prevent him from being corrupted by the relics of the Old Gods and becoming a hundred-eyed man after entering the mysterious laboratory (research institute).

The only truly sacred beast he possesses is the Water Scale Beast.

However, the Water Kirin Beast is somewhat weak, so it will probably be quite difficult to dispel the curse.

"Ever-Changing Butterfly, have you obtained the memories of your clones?"

What exactly is inside this research institute?

Ye Bai asked the Myriad Transformations Butterfly, wanting to know information about the research institute.

He didn't have much time left, so he could only come here at night.

If you are not in your room for a long time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

The suspicion referred to here is that of those in the United States, who suspect Ye Bai of having ulterior motives in the refuge.

At that point, Ye Bai will be unable to explain himself.

The Ever-Changing Butterfly frowned, as if it really didn't have much of a memory of it.

In the Dark Butterfly King's memory, there was only darkness, with the occasional flash of blue light.

The research institute was very large, with many dark figures moving about in the darkness, and the Dark Butterfly King's memories were somewhat fragmented.

It seems that the Dark Butterfly King's memories have been altered by something.

By the way, the Myriad Transformations Butterfly saw countless eyes in the Dark Butterfly King's memories.

From that moment on, the Dark Butterfly King's memories became fragmented.

The last memory is that the Dark Butterfly King felt that he had to return to his pet master, look at him with his newly grown eyes, and make him become an existence like himself.

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly relayed the information to Ye Bai.

"Are there countless eyes inside?"

"Has the Dark Butterfly King's memory been altered?"

"This is not a good thing."

The alteration of memories means that the abilities of those with a hundred eyes may surpass those of the Dark Butterfly King.

However, it's hard to say for sure, since the weeping angel statue doesn't have a specific level, but its abilities are very strange.

Once you get close to a person or a strange beast, you will be able to capture their soul and make it your own nourishment.

"It seems that many risks are hidden behind the dark door."

"Myriad Transformations Butterfly, create another clone of the Dark Butterfly King, and then use the Dark Sanctuary skill to see if it will still be tainted by the Hundred-Eyed Spirit."

After all, the Dark Butterfly is known as the killer of the night, and its stealth ability is second to none in the family of the Myriad Butterflies.

Ye Bai wanted to find out how these unspeakable creatures managed to parasitize the Dark Butterfly King with their eyes and alter its memories.

Transmitted through the air?

Or should I look directly into his eyes?

These indescribable things are somewhat similar to conceptual gods.

Unfortunately, humans cannot contract with such things. In order to prevent the spread of fear, humans can only try every means to suppress these things.

If it weren't for the Sunflower Emperor's clone, those two weeping angel statues would have undoubtedly caused Ye Bai a great deal of trouble.

Ye Bai felt he needed to think things through carefully; otherwise, he would rather close the door again and give up this opportunity to explore than put himself in danger.

After all, having a hundred eyes all over its body is terrifying; just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.

If only the intelligence system could reveal Hundred Eyes' weaknesses.

Milky white light spots appeared on the body of the Myriad Change Butterfly.

These points of light coalesced in mid-air into a dark butterfly king, its entire body black.

It flew silently through the air.

A layer of pitch-black light gathered around it; this was the Dark Butterfly King's Dark Protection skill.

This skill is of the dark attribute, and its effect is to increase the stealth of the Dark Butterfly King and resist a portion of physical attacks.

The clone rushed into the gate again and disappeared.

The dark cave entrance seemed to emit a silent mockery, accusing Ye Bai of overestimating his abilities.

The Dark Butterfly King's body is extremely light, and the sound of its wings flapping is almost inaudible.

For the rest of the time, we must wait for the return of the Dark Butterfly King; let's hope everything goes well.

Not long after, the Dark Butterfly King rushed out of the gate.

However, its body was covered in a pungent odor, as if a large amount of strong acid had been splashed onto the Dark Butterfly King.

Having completed its mission, the Dark Butterfly King dissipated, leaving a pool of golden liquid on the marble floor.

The Myriad Butterfly also gained the memories of the Dark Butterfly King. This time, after the Dark Butterfly King used Dark Protection, it easily flew over the territory of the Hundred Eyes.

The Hundred Eyes dwell on the walls of the research institute, with countless eyes moving around as if trying to capture something.

The pupils of these eyes emitted a ghostly blue light.

After using the Dark Protection, Hundred Eyes seemed to be unable to see the Dark Butterfly King.

Therefore, Hundred Eyes releases the Hundred Eyes Curse onto his opponent by gazing at him and activating his special ability.

This experiment also revealed the conditions under which the Hundred-Eyed One could unleash its curse.

However, upon reaching the next area, the Dark Butterfly King was suddenly struck by strong acid, and it struggled for a long time before finally breaking free of its restraints.

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly discovered that the Dark Butterfly King's strong acid dripped onto Hundred Eyes' body, causing Hundred Eyes' body to turn into a puddle of pus at a visible speed.

It seems that this strong acid is the nemesis of Baiyan.

Looking at the golden liquid left on the ground, making a hissing sound, Ye Bai quickly took out a straw and an instrument to test the acidity and corrosiveness from his pet space.

Soon, the acidity was tested and found to be comparable to aqua regia.

"It would be great if we had any information about this research institute."

This feeling of having entered a treasure trove but not being able to take anything made Ye Bai want to tear his hair out.

However, Ye Bai did not want to put himself in any risk.

"Myriad Transformations Butterfly, create a clone of the True Light Goddess Butterfly and enter the research institute once more."

"Let's see how much damage light-attribute skills can do to these indescribable things."

Ye Bai said something to the Myriad Transformations Butterfly again.

The true light goddess butterfly's clone appeared, radiating a soft white light.

After being empowered with two light-attribute skills, Divine Protection and Holy Light, it rushed into the research institute's gate.

Before long, the light, as bright as day, was swallowed by darkness.

It is unknown how long it took before the Myriad Transformations Butterfly finally obtained the memories of the True Light Goddess Butterfly.

This exploration covered a much larger area than the Dark Butterfly King's; at least the entire outer perimeter was explored by the True Light Goddess Butterfly.

Besides the Hundred Eyes, the Myriad Transformations Butterfly finally saw clearly what those things that sprayed out golden acid really were.

These things are like tiny trumpets, each about the size of a palm. When the True Light Goddess Butterfly passes by, they spray strong acid from their trumpet-shaped mouths.

Moreover, once these little trumpets detect an invasion by a foreign enemy, they will grow wildly, and their numbers will increase more and more.

However, with the help of the Holy Light, the True Goddess of Light Butterfly successfully broke out of this area.

Next, it went through a mountain of knives, an icy path, and so on. Just as it was about to enter the middle area, it was grabbed by a giant steel claw and put into its mouth to be chewed up.

Only then did the memory completely end.

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly passed this memory on to Ye Bai.

The observant Ye Bai was pleasantly surprised to discover that the True Light Goddess Butterfly had passed through a passage with a map showing the entire research institute.

Although the core area has been deliberately obscured, this map can save Ye Bai a lot of trouble.

This is probably the biggest gain of the night.

In fact, the safest way for Ye Bai was to wait for the intelligence system to provide him with information.

However, this will take a lot of time. By the time all the intelligence is known, the Storm Dragon should have already been driven out of the United States.

At that time, your every move will be under the watchful eye of secret agents, and you will not be free to do anything.

Not to mention coming to this underwater research institute.

Once discovered, they will definitely be arrested, leaving them with a fate worse than death.

"It seems that the unidentifiable individuals detained in the research institute have all escaped."

"That's more troublesome."

Ye Bai glanced at his watch; it was three in the morning, four hours before seven.

Four hours is enough time for me to go for a walk in the outer areas.

That's right, Ye Bai plans to explore a portion of the research institute each day, taking a steady and methodical approach.

"We cannot be greedy for quick results or rush into things in the research institute."

"Sunflower Fairy, create clones of the Sunflower King and have them surround me."

"Myriad Transformations Butterfly, split off the True Light Goddess Butterfly clone to protect me."

"Space Pelican, establish spatial coordinates to facilitate our travel."

The Space Pelican is Ye Bai's last line of defense. If he encounters danger, the Space Pelican will use spatial teleportation to lead Ye Bai back to a safe area.

The light emitted by the Sunflower King's clone illuminated the area.

The floor of the research institute's passageway was extremely dilapidated and covered with dried bloodstains.

The walls of the passageway were covered in bloody handprints, a truly gruesome sight.

The Sunflower Fairy was hidden in Ye Bai's hair. Once the holy light of her clone failed, the Sunflower Fairy would come to her aid.
