Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 286 A Conspiracy Suddenly Emerges
"I am Professor Du Bo, the chief physician of Nantianmen."

"I am specifically in charge of the medical work of the entire Nantianmen Fortress, and I am also the director of the Nantianmen Treatment Center Hospital."

"A research group has been established to specifically treat spore disease, and we welcome Researcher Ye Bai to join us."

Your arrival has made my humble abode shine with honor.

"As the treatment progresses, many of our doctors have also been infected by the spores."

"The overall situation is not optimistic."

"Let me explain briefly: the number of people infected by spores is gradually increasing."

"Moreover, we don't currently have a good method for screening."

"If this continues, the entire Nantianmen Fortress may be breached by the alien beasts."

Professor Du Bo sighed and said.

"To avoid panic among the many pet masters at Nantianmen, we have blocked the news."

"At this time, they were like walking corpses, chained up and stored underground at Nantianmen."

"We need Researcher Ye Bai to help us provide emergency treatment to these pet trainers."

"Otherwise, as more and more people are parasitized by the spores, our Nantianmen's fighting strength might collapse on its own when that time comes."

"Nantianmen is a very important gateway to the entire Yan Kingdom region."

There are a total of six beast battlefields in Yan Kingdom. The beasts appearing in this particular beast battlefield are quite powerful and numerous.

Every year, a large number of pet masters need to be transferred here for defense.

Moreover, the beasts in the beast battlefield are all shrouded in a blood-red aura of malevolence, making them very powerful.

Du Bo distributed the collected intelligence to everyone.

Ye Bai read through the intelligence report one by one.

It says that the spores appeared half a month ago.

A pet beast covered in spores was killed, and the spores flew everywhere.

In less than a day, some people started to have fevers and coughs, saying they were in pain deep inside.

Then their bodies started growing mushroom-like things, which would hurt if you pulled them off.

People parasitized by spores become like walking corpses, with colorful mushrooms growing on their bodies.

They all lost consciousness and then desperately attacked others; some even burst open like mushrooms, infecting more people.

Professor Du Bo's words were quite exaggerated, but Ye Bai had a vague suspicion in his heart.

So if these spores spread from the battlefield of alien beasts, then why were the alien beasts that attacked the South Heavenly Gate Fortress completely unharmed?
The intelligence report did not go on to say whether the alien beasts in the alien beast battlefield were infected.

Were these spores artificially created?

This message is crucial.

If the alien beasts are parasitized by spores, then the intelligence should show that the number of alien beasts parasitized by spores is increasing.

However, Ye Bai glanced over the city wall and did not find any signs of the beasts being parasitized.

Were these monsters eliminated, or did the spores evolve and become more elusive?

This concerns the Mother of Spores, a medium-powered demon god from the evil and chaotic faction.

Therefore, Ye Bai felt that he could not let his guard down, after all, even Dankalabi and Xier were very wary of the Mother of Spores.

This proves that they all have the potential to become captives of the Mother of Spores when they come into contact with her.

Ye Bai then sent a message to his senior master, listing his conjectures.

After glancing at the message, Jiao Mujiao shook his head calmly: "Our medical team has been traveling a long way and needs to rest before proceeding with treatment."

"To avoid accidentally getting infected with spores and unnecessarily increasing the number of infections."

In fact, those who came here had already been injected with the Flame Agent, which raised their body temperature to around 40 degrees Celsius, enough to resist the invasion of spores.

Lanfa's ability also allows him to replicate the Flame Potion on a large scale, so it's more important to clarify the current situation. However, his senior apprentice is unaware that Lanfa possesses this ability.

"How about this, let Ye Bai go and check on the patient's condition first."

"The rest of us should take a break first."

Once a clone is copied by the Mirror Man, it becomes essentially a shadow of the original, possessing a portion of the original's memories.

Moreover, this clone can only be activated after Ye Bai's consent.

The replicant's consciousness is connected to the mirror person. If the replicant dies, he will transfer his eight hours of memories to the mirror person before he dies.

The Mirror Man filters out useful memories and then passes them on to Lanfa through a contract.

This way we can find out what happened in the underground laboratory.

In case of any problems, the clone can shield Ye Bai from disaster.

Jiaomu Jiao gave Ye Bai a wink, and Ye Bai nodded slightly in response.

"Haha, it was my oversight, it was my oversight."

Dr. Du Bo laughed awkwardly.

"Clap clap clap."

"Han Ke, please handle this for me. I'll take Researcher Ye Bai to check on those pet masters who are suffering from the spores."

Han Ke is a short-haired girl with a butterfly-shaped hair clip in her hair.

She looked somewhat playful and cute, dressed in a suit, her face full of authority. "Please follow me, everyone. My name is Han Ke, and I'm a member of the Logistics Support Department. If you have any questions about food or accommodation, please let me know, and I'll make arrangements quickly."

"Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to get here. Our environment is rather harsh."

"We will be using a buffet format for each meal, so please keep that in mind."

Ye Bai and Lan Fa were assigned to the same room.

After they checked each other's rooms for any eavesdropping devices or methods, Ye Bai directly transformed the Myriad Transformations Silkworm's clone into the Goddess of Light Butterfly.

The pet beast directly broke through the barrier and activated the communication method left to it by its master.

The projection of Jiao Mujiao Zhang Jian appeared in mid-air.

"Ye Bai, what have you discovered?"

Zhang Jian asked Ye Bai.

"Yes, I have a question now. The spores were clearly transmitted from the battlefield of alien beasts, so why haven't I heard any rumors about alien beasts being infected by the spores?"

"Have all those spore-infected monsters vanished without a trace?"

Ye Bai raised his doubts.

Jiaomu Jiao had just investigated and found it to be very suspicious: "According to the information I have gathered, apart from that strange beast whose entire body is covered in mushrooms, there are no other strange beasts infected with the spores."

"Could these spores really be man-made?"

If so, then it's a colossal conspiracy.

The South Heavenly Gate is a very important barrier for the Yan Kingdom, related to the security of a quarter of the country's territory. Once it falls, the secondary defense fortress will also be breached, and almost a quarter of the area will be reduced to scorched earth.

The terror of the beast tide is well known to everyone on Earth.

If the spores were indeed created by humans, then they are sinners against all of humanity.

"Ye Bai, do you have anyone you suspect?"

Jiaomujiao was also tasked with overseeing the entire South Heavenly Gate and checking for any violations by personnel.

"Not yet."

"However, we must produce enough flame potion as soon as possible."

"I bet some people will look very guilty and say that the raw materials for making the Flame Potion are in short supply and that you need to go to a very dangerous place to collect them."

"That place was probably set up with traps a long time ago. If you get there, you'll either be killed or trapped."

"While they're luring you away, they can create the illusion that I'm being hunted by a monster."

Ye Bai analyzed the enemy's next move, and Jiao Mujiao thought that the huge Nantianmen Fortress would run out of raw materials. That's ridiculous.

"No, the massive Nantianmen Fortress is the largest production base for exotic beast raw materials in the entire Yan Kingdom."

"It supplied about 30% of the raw materials for exotic beasts in the entire Yan Kingdom."

"No matter how scarce it is, there will never be a shortage of raw materials."

However, his master was soon proven wrong when he learned from the logistics staff at Nantianmen that there was a shortage of raw materials and manpower.

It can only be collected in a very dangerous valley.

However, this is a matter of life and death, and we hope that Lord Jiaomujiao can go to the valley. Many of the pet masters in the laboratory are already impatient.

Jiao Mujiao quickly called Ye Bai again: "You guessed it."

"It seems they are very wary of me being here."

"Do you think we should lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Go and secretly find incriminating evidence against them?"

Jiao Mujiao made a suggestion, which was immediately rejected by Ye Bai.

"No, as soon as you leave, you will fall into the trap and I will definitely die. Fang Ritu alone cannot withstand an assassination."

Ye Bai knew that the Corpse Whisperer would come to the South Heavenly Gate, and he was the key force in breaking through the entire South Heavenly Gate.

He wasn't sure if the Corpse Whisperers were related to the Abyss Spores, but Ye Bai knew very well that once the South Heavenly Gate fell, a quarter of Yan Kingdom would be reduced to scorched earth.

"Uncle-Master, I suggest we urgently summon Grandmaster here, or do you have any items that can summon Grandmaster?"

Ye Bai felt it would be safer to summon his grandmaster.

"Don't worry, I have a Transcendent Teleportation Stone, a personal treasure given to me by your grandmaster. If I am ever imprisoned, as long as I crush this Transcendent Teleportation Stone, your grandmaster's eighth-order avatar will immediately appear."

The fact that the ancestor's clone was able to pass it on is the greatest fortune.

Wait, an eighth-tier clone!!!
"Senior Uncle, has Grandmaster broken through?"

Ye Bai's eyes widened as he asked Zhang Jian curiously.

"uh-huh."

“When your grandmaster was guarding the South Heavenly Gate, he was already an eighth-level pet master.”

"However, after being poisoned by the Blood Gu, his strength has been declining over the years."

"It wasn't until my junior sister found a way to expel the Blood Gu poison that my teacher broke through the bottleneck of the eighth rank and became a ninth-rank pet master."

"As for how strong the teacher is right now, I really don't know."

"Marshal Baihu once said that his teacher's strength was slightly weaker than his, but they were very close."
