Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 42 The Strength of the Grey Poison Moth
The wings of the grey tussock moth shimmered with a purple halo under the golden sun.

At this moment, it was like a noble queen.

"My Gray Poison Moth is the strongest and most talented of all my pets. If it hadn't evolved into a Gray Poison Moth by accident, it might have already broken through to the sixth rank by now."

"If only we could find an evolutionary path for the gray tussock moth."

Ye Bai dared not reveal to Zhang Lingxue's face that her gray poison moth could indeed evolve.

But how Ye Bai explains how he knew it will inevitably arouse Zhang Lingxue's suspicion.

After all, a 20-year-old professor has an IQ of at least 160, if not 150, so she can't be fooled by a bunch of con artists.

Unless you have Naruto's Kotoamatsukami.

However, Ye Bai's strength is still very weak at the moment. As a first-level pet master, he cannot see the data of the fifth-level Gray Poison Moth.

Therefore, Ye Bai can only place his hopes on the intelligence system and see if it can reveal any useful information.

"Teacher, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at school? What are you doing out here?"

Ye Bai turned the tables and accused Ye Bai first.

Zhang Lingxue was so angry at Ye Bai's words that she laughed.

This guy's got too big for his britches, daring to talk to his teacher like that.

However, when she saw Da Hui standing silently to the side with a sunflower on his head, Zhang Lingxue immediately understood Ye Bai's reliance.

He has two Tier 3 pet beasts, so he is naturally not afraid of Tier 1 burrowing rats. Even Tier 2 bloodthirsty rats are easy for him to deal with.

According to the information she had read, sunflowers are the natural nemesis of burrowing rats, as their steel-like roots can instantly pierce through the burrowing rat's skull.

"Didn't I tell you to find a safe place to hide during the beast tide?" Zhang Lingxue said, arms crossed, sounding annoyed.

"Don't think that the two Tier 3 pets behind you can protect you."

"Once the beast tide breaks out, even I will have to flee for my life."

At this moment, dozens of second-tier Bloodrage Rats had silently surrounded Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue.

Greed gleamed in their eyes; to these bloodthirsty rats, the two were nothing more than easy prey on a chopping block.

Especially the aura emanating from them; the Bloodrat could sense that if they could hunt down the two of them, they would gain immense benefits.

"Where did this Bloodthirsty Rat come from?"

Zhang Lingxue frowned.

"The evolution of the burrowing rat into the blood rat requires a lot of flesh and blood, even though the residents in this area have been evacuated."

"Could there be more residents hiding?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "Teacher, have you forgotten about the group of fat koi carp raised in the artificial lake in Central Park?"

"They are all fed like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, each weighing several hundred pounds."

"Even a fat koi can help a burrowing rat evolve into a blood rat, let alone a group of them."

"By the way, teacher, has the beast tide been suppressed yet?"

Ye Bai asked the question he wanted to ask.

Zhang Lingxue's identity is not just that of a teacher at Shenshan Middle School. Ye Bai felt that she must have other identities, but he just didn't know them yet.

"The beast tide has been suppressed, but a few burrowing rats have managed to escape."

"You know the characteristics of a burrowing rat; it's good at playing dead and digging burrows."

"At the moment the beast tide broke out, there were so many burrowing rats that the Pet Beast Guild was too busy to handle them all, which is why many burrowing rats escaped."

"Now there's another big problem."

Zhang Lingxue sighed. Originally, she hadn't planned to tell anyone about this. But Ye Bai wasn't an outsider, so Zhang Lingxue told him what had happened in the cold storage.

Frozen meat!
A cargo ship smuggling frozen goods!
Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat; this could indeed trigger another beast tide.

"Now, Wang Jinyin, the president of the Jiaying City Pet Animal Association, has led a team to the cold storage warehouse."

"Because of the lack of manpower, the teachers of Shenshan Middle School also took on part of the work of cleaning up the burrowing rats."

As a result, she encountered students wandering around aimlessly.

Does this guy even know how terrifying a beast tide is?

Although this is only a second-tier beast tide, it's not impossible that higher-tier beasts might appear.

Zhang Lingxue had been to the Beast Tide battlefield before. Beast Tides were like meat grinders; a single beast tide led by a high-level beast could wipe out countless beast masters' lives.

Blood Rat watched the two chatting and felt his dignity was being challenged.

The lead Bloodrat let out a fierce howl, and the other Bloodrat sprang into action.

They bared their teeth and claws, and pounced on Ye Bai.

The color of these Bloodrat Rats has turned dark red, indicating that they have been around for some time.

A dark shadow rushed over, knocking the Bloodrat Rats flying one after another.

The Bloodrat rats tumbled into the water with a splash, like dumplings being thrown into a pot.

Only then did Zhang Lingxue realize that the dark figure was Ye Bai's Thousand Transformations Silkworm.

The Thousand Transformations Silkworm's body turned silvery-white, and two thick plumes of white steam shot out from its nostrils.

The once proud and arrogant Thousand Transformations Silkworm immediately cowered when it saw Zhang Lingxue's probing gaze, as if she wanted to slice it into pieces.

It quickly hid behind Ye Bai, not daring to look directly at Zhang Lingxue.

Ye Bai chuckled inwardly. This fearless Thousand Transformations Silkworm was as timid as a mouse before a cat when it encountered Zhang Lingxue.

At this moment, the Blood Rats crawled out of the artificial lake, their bodies enveloped in a thick mist of blood.

These blood mists are corrosive; the marble steps beneath them are being corroded by the corrosive blood mist, making a sizzling, oily sound.

"Little Purple, take them down."

The gray tussock moth flapped its wings, and purple powder flew out from its alluring wings.

When the powder landed on the Bloodrat, the creatures' eyes widened as if they were bulging out.

They clutched their throats tightly, their tongues lolling out. With a few mournful cries, the bloodthirsty rats collapsed to the ground, soon losing their breath.

Moreover, their bodies were corroded into bones at an extremely fast speed, revealing crystal-clear blood cores.

The Thousand-Transformation Silkworm stared greedily at the blood core, its mouth watering uncontrollably.

"Does your Thousand-Transformation Silkworm need these blood cores?"

Zhang Lingxue noticed the change in the Thousand Transformations Silkworm's expression and asked a question out of curiosity.

Ye Bai nodded: "The blood cores of these Blood Rats seem to be able to enhance the defense of the Thousand Transformation Silkworm."

"Moreover, it can enhance the regenerative ability of the Thousand Transformation Silkworm."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxue immediately said, "Then let the Thousand Transformation Silkworm devour these blood cores."

"Ye Bai, the Thousand-Change Silkworm is a mutant variety of the Hundred-Change Silkworm, and it is very valuable research material. You must carefully observe its evolutionary path."

"If it evolves into a gray poison moth, you'll lose a lot of money."

The wild pets have been changed to exotic beasts; the entire article will be revised later.
