Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 467 Backhand
This moth is black and white, and the pattern on its wings is a black and white skull.

"Death moths, what a brilliant tactic."

The Death Moth is adept at lurking. Its scales contain a potent toxin. When inhaled, they can damage the body's immune cells, mimicking signs of sudden cardiac death.

It is generally only at the fourth level of strength, but it has the same ability as a chameleon, and ordinary pets cannot detect the existence of the Death Moth.

Therefore, the destructive power of the Death Moth is even more terrifying than that of a typical sixth-tier alien beast.

The moment the Death Moth appeared, the starlight emanating from the Starry Butterfly Queen pierced through its body.

Before it could even release its scales, its body was destroyed by starlight.

The disappearance of the dead moth also caused a staff member not far from the guest room to suddenly change his expression.

"Damn it, my Death Moth was discovered! Wasn't this assassination mission supposed to be easy?"

“It wasn’t easy for me to raise a Death Moth. The break in the contract means that I can’t continue to contract new pets for a while, and my strength will naturally be severely damaged.”

"It seems we need to take a longer-term approach."

After learning the truth about the attack from Wanbiandie, Ye Bai told Su Qingxian what had happened.

"That's normal. I'm probably already on the dark web's kill list."

"This World Congress of Researchers has changed in nature."

"I'm afraid that other researchers will be killed in the next few days, so we need to be prepared."

"So once we get the Divine Stone, or find out its whereabouts, we shouldn't stay here."

"Once we have the divine stone, we will return to Yan Kingdom immediately."

Su Qingxian felt that this was a trap set for researchers from various countries.

"Australia is the host country of the World Congress of Researchers. If something happens to their researchers, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for them?"

Ye Bai asked, puzzled.

"You know, there must have been some high-ranking officials in Australia involved in this assassination, which is why they secretly revealed the room numbers of the other researchers."

"The Australian country must be allied with the American country, so once we get the divine stone, we should leave here as soon as possible."

Just then, the midnight bells rang.

New intelligence has been released.

[1. The United States intercepted intelligence about the Divine Stone and seized it from the Iron Chicken Country. They hid the Divine Stone in the fountain of the Windmill Hotel, where pet masters are stationed to guard it 24 hours a day, along with many exotic beasts skilled in setting up barriers. Any pet that approaches the area will be mercilessly shot down by the pet masters.]

[2. Dr. Nehru of the Iron Chicken Country was murdered. His research materials were hidden in a very concealed briefcase by American agents. The briefcase was black with a clock-like pattern printed on it. The combination to the briefcase was 665598.]

[3. The Yan Kingdom special forces soldier was replaced by the Faceless Man the moment he entered the Windmill Hotel. Currently, the Faceless Man is extracting information from Lan Fa. The Faceless Man is the most special agent of the Beautiful Country, with strength comparable to an eighth-tier pet master. He can change his appearance at any time.]

[4. One of the Four Virtues, the Fire Dragon King—Crimson Lotus of Calamity—will enter the Kangaroo Kingdom in three days. It needs to collect amithril and mithril to forge the Gate of the Divine Kingdom to summon the dragon god Bahamut. The Kangaroo Kingdom has already hidden tons of amithril and mithril in the bank of Kangaroo City. There is a secret door in the underground waterway that leads directly to the location of the amithril and mithril.]

[5. Three days later, American agents will surround the Windmill Hotel and conduct a thorough lockdown. Everyone inside will be imprisoned by the agents.]

Ye Bai felt as if he were being ambushed from all sides.

I never expected that special forces would be replaced by American agents so quickly.

It seems that Lanfa's situation is precarious.

Fortunately, Lanfa's abilities were never revealed.

Even the special forces themselves don't know much about it.

Ye Bai whispered something to the Myriad Transformations Butterfly, hoping to use the Starry Butterfly Queen to warn Lan Fa and keep him away from danger.

"I'm sorry, Grandmaster, I've received an urgent message."

"This world-class researchers' conference is just a smokescreen. Australia has secretly allied with the United States to eliminate some researchers and obtain their research data."

"We must leave here immediately."

Su Qingxian's expression turned extremely solemn: "But we haven't obtained the divine stone yet, which is related to the fate of the Yan Kingdom."

"I have to stay here."

Ye Bai shook his head: "Grandmaster, I have another piece of information. I know the location of the divine stone, but the risk is very high."

“Grandmaster, your presence here will distract me, so I hope you can leave this place with my Devouring Pelican.”

"I and the Lanfa Society tried every means to obtain the divine stone and return safely to Yan Kingdom."

Su Qingxian hesitated for a moment, feeling it was somewhat unfair to leave while Ye Bai and Lan Fa stayed.

“Grandmaster, you should understand the significance of your coming to the World-Class Researchers Conference. Our ultimate goal is to obtain the Divine Stone.”

"Everything else is secondary. Your presence here will not only be of no help, but may also distract us."

Hearing this, Su Qingxian finally made up her mind.

“Fine, I’ll leave now, but Dr. Nehru of Iron Chicken Country has mastered the technology of soul extraction.”

"I hope you can acquire this technology."

Ye Bai shook his head: "Grandmaster, according to my intelligence, Dr. Nehru was murdered, and it seems that his experimental results have been transferred by American agents."

Su Qingxian grinned: "Ye Bai, your information must be wrong. I told you before that Dr. Nehru is skilled in soul manipulation and skeleton control."

"So he is very difficult to kill. It is possible that he abandoned his original body and planned to live another life under a different identity."

"This secret was told to me personally by Dr. Nehru."

Forehead.
Dr. Nehru dared to tell you about such a private and sensitive topic, what exactly is the relationship between the two of you?

Ye Bai was speechless.

"You might be thinking to yourself, what do I have to do with Dr. Nehru? In fact, when I was young, I studied in the Iron Chicken Country, and Dr. Nehru pursued me. However, I spent all my time studying, so I rejected him in public."

"In the end, we became good friends in private."

"But you absolutely mustn't tell Dashan about this, I'm afraid he'll get jealous."

Su Qingxian said with a smile.

"Then you should leave here now with the Devouring Pelican."

"Demon Bear, Netherworld Wolf, protect our master, don't let her get hurt."

Meanwhile, Lanfa summoned the Mirror of Sin in the bathroom, creating a lifelike clone, while he himself hid in the ventilation duct.

He had a vague feeling that something was off about the special forces soldier.

The Starry Butterfly Queen had just received information from the Myriad Transformations Butterfly.

Just as it was about to report, it discovered that Lanfa had been replaced.

And so, the Starry Butterfly Queen dispersed the starlight and disappeared.

As soon as Ye Bai stepped out of the room, he noticed that there were suddenly many more service staff.

These people are likely agents from the United States and Australia, whose purpose is to monitor the researchers' every move.

If researchers find anything wrong, they are immediately taken away.

Lanfa and Ye Bai met in a toilet that was under repair.

"Lanfa, our mission this time is extremely difficult."

"I have already instructed Grandmaster Su Qingxian to evacuate from Australia ahead of schedule."

"And I will stay with you to carry out the mission."

Lanfa seemed slightly surprised. "I noticed that the special forces soldier was acting strangely, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so I quickly had the Sinful Mirror Woman release a clone and escape from there."

Lanfa said with a sigh.

“Your intuition is right. When the special forces soldier entered the Windmill Hotel, he was switched with someone else.”

"Lanfa, I've found out. Our mission this time is to retrieve the divine stone from the fountain pool."

"American agents killed Dr. Nehru, stole his research findings, and hid the sacred stone in the fountain."

At this point, Lanfa suddenly had a question: "Since the divine stone is so important, why didn't the people of America take it away? Instead, they spent a lot of effort and money to guard it."

"That's a good question. I guess they're trying to lure the snake out of its hole."

"The divine stone is a treasure that was formed over hundreds or thousands of years after the fall of the gods."

"This thing is a rare treasure even in the United States."

"But compared to my master, they would rather give up this divine stone in order to lure my master out."

"That's why I let my master leave here ahead of time, because I saw through this."

Lan Fa nodded: "Ye Bai, what should I do next?"

"According to you, what if Academician Su's mirror image shatters after twelve hours?"

"Won't this arouse suspicion from others?"

"What should we do if they plan to conduct a thorough search?"

Lanfa was somewhat at a loss.

"It's alright, I've already studied the underground pipe layout of the Windmill Hotel."

“We can leave Kangaroo City at any time by following the underground passage. In a remote town in Kangaroo Country, we can release our pets and leave this place.”

Ye Bai had already prepared a retreat plan.

"Okay, twelve hours should be enough for Academician Su to leave Australia."

"Once we cross the Central Strait, we won't be far from the Yan Kingdom."

"Okay, Academician Su is safe, so we have nothing to worry about."

"It's just a divine stone. Let's figure out how to get it without the attention of American agents."

Lanfa was prepared to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

"I got the layout map of the entire Windmill 9 O'Clock Hotel."

“I discovered a large generator set beneath the windmill hotel.”

"The windmill hotel is powered by this large wind turbine."

"All we need to do is create some chaos, make the Windmill Hotel lose power for half an hour, and we can take advantage of that time to pull off a surprise attack."

Ye Bai had studied electrical wiring diagrams.

The electricity at the windmill hotel is prioritized for guests, and only secondarily for areas like the fountain pool.

"The infrared warning system for the fountain will immediately become ineffective if the power is cut off."

"We have about thirty minutes to retrieve the sacred stone buried beneath the fountain pool."

"This time we will also rely on your illusion of the Sinful Mirror Woman to confuse the enemy."

Lanfa readily agreed, as this was a matter of great importance concerning the future of Yan Kingdom.

If the nation loses its destiny, the people of Yan will turn into scattered sand, unless the nation's destiny is regained.

However, this process will definitely be very arduous.

The special forces soldiers kept a close watch on Ye Bai and the others, not daring to relax even when they went to the toilet.

He finally seized the opportunity, eliminated the special forces soldier, and took his place.

Headquarters has now announced that the Windmill Hotel will be completely sealed off in three days.

They will conduct a thorough search to bring back the escaped researchers and force them to hand over their findings.

"Lanfa, we don't have much time left."

"It must be resolved quickly."

At that very moment, on the other side...

The four leaders of the Evangelical Fellowship met again.

The Star Sage's pupils are black, and his irises sometimes emit a golden glow.

Judging from her current state, the Star Sage is not far from taking the final step.

If he could rise to the top in one step, then the Star Sage would become the actual controller of the Gospel Church.

So the necromancer has been very anxious lately, and he doesn't even want to watch his favorite witch foot massage anymore.

“Star Sage, how far have you come now?”

"Could it be that he will ascend to godhood directly?"

The Demon Knight understood the necromancer's expression and asked the Star Sage a question.

The Star Sage smiled and said, "No, I've been cultivating. My subordinates provided everything else for me."

“However, I am indeed not far from breaking through.” The Star Sage revealed his secret.

The necromancer looked at the Star Sage with a hint of jealousy.

That's a bit too Versailles-esque.

"However, I have suddenly received some intelligence, which is about foreign countries."

"It seems that Australia has allied with the United States, and they are purging the researchers attending the World Congress of Researchers."

"Among them is your former mentor, Academician Su Qingxian."

Necromancers have wide connections and can obtain a lot of information.

"So what? You want to disrupt my mind and destroy my divinity?"

The Star Sage snorted coldly: "It's not that easy."

A terrifying mental pressure erupted from her, immediately causing the necromancer's body to scatter.

The skull rolled several times on the ground, becoming covered in mud.

“Star Sage, the necromancer didn’t do it on purpose.”

"We are gathered together now to protect ourselves."

"You should know how terrifying the Divine Stone is. Once it is taken back to Yan Kingdom, there may be nowhere left for us to hide."

"It is said that the five marshals are considering whether to restore the title of Big Dipper."

"Once they become the Big Dipper, even the five marshals cannot interfere with their actions."

This is equivalent to me taking the money but not wanting to do any work at all.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions have been working non-stop lately.
A new book by an old friend, The Fat Orange Cat That Collapsed the Bed: Beast Taming: 16 years old, Old Deng's Counterattack - what the heck?
