Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 62 The True Face of the Mysterious Gu Poison?

Ye Bai had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue throwing in the fourth-tier beast meat.

The ever-changing silkworm is like a giant meat grinder, tirelessly devouring flesh and blood.

The sound of it constantly chewing and swallowing filled the entire laboratory, crunching and munching.

Soon, the entire body of the Bloodthirsty Rat King was swallowed by the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, but it still looked like it hadn't eaten enough.

Ye Bai gritted his teeth and took out the Bloodrage Rat King's left foreleg.

His heart was bleeding silently; that left foreleg was worth a million Alliance coins.

Doing experiments is indeed very expensive.

Therefore, breeders can earn millions of dollars for evolving a single pet.

It's not expensive, really not expensive.

The cost of materials alone is quite high.

The ever-changing silkworm kept gnawing on the meat of the strange beast, but its body did not grow at all. The blood-red mist on its body became more and more abundant, becoming thicker and thicker like blood.

Soon, the body of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm was covered by blood mist, leaving only its blood-red eyes exposed.

The only sounds coming from the lab were crunching and chewing.

Looking down, I saw the Hundred Transformations Silkworm's eyes, which radiated a bewitching red light.

Soon, the left foreleg was completely gone, and the right foreleg was also swallowed up.

Another million Alliance Coins have vanished without a trace.

However, to Ye Bai's relief, the Hundred Transformations Silkworm's swallowing speed had noticeably slowed down.

However, Ye Bai was a little too quick to be happy, because after swallowing the entire right foreleg, the Hundred Transformations Silkworm still opened its mouth and pointed in the direction of its mouth with its long, thin tongue.

After its left hind leg was completely devoured, the ever-changing silkworm finally stopped moving, let out a big yawn, and collapsed to the ground.

The crimson mist gradually thickened, forming crimson crystals that covered the Hundred Transformations Silkworm.

To avoid disturbing each other, Ye Bai could only move the other two cocooned silkworms away and place them in a glass display case to the side, waiting for them to complete their final evolution.

He had a premonition that the Blood Gu Butterfly would successfully evolve and become a fourth-tier pet.

However, the evolutionary path of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm into the Blood Gu Butterfly is not easy to replicate.

Ye Bai still doesn't understand where the most crucial evolution material, the mysterious Gu poison, comes from.

It's possible that this ever-changing silkworm will evolve into the first and last Blood Gu Butterfly.

However, Ye Bai had a feeling that the surveillance footage would give him an accurate answer.

However, when Ye Bai arrived at the monitoring room, he discovered that he did not have the necessary permissions.

Of course, Ye Bai could also use hacking techniques to infiltrate the internal network.

But doing so feels disrespectful to one's teacher.

While waiting for the Blood Poison Moth and Blood Gu Butterfly to evolve, Ye Bai remembered that he hadn't read today's intelligence reports yet.

[1. A dragon-slaying sword is hidden beneath an ancient bridge spanning the Jiaying River. Legend has it that the dragon-slaying sword is specifically designed to kill dragons that attempt to escape. A dragon-slaying sword that can kill ten dragons is also called the Ten-Dragon Sword, its blade gleaming with a bronze-like luster. A dragon-slaying sword that can kill a hundred dragons is also called the Hundred-Dragon Sword, its blade gleaming with a silver-white luster. A light tap on the blade can produce a deafening dragon's roar.]

[2. The Gray Poison Moth, possessing an evolutionary path, can evolve into a sixth-tier Poison Dragon Butterfly after absorbing the crystal core and essence blood of a sixth-tier Poison Dragon.]

[3. Life Dew is extremely rare. High-level sunflowers condense Life Dew from their petals after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. It is said that third-level sunflower kings can also extract Life Dew after absorbing a large amount of blood and flesh essence. Life Dew has the effect of prolonging life and curing all diseases. The first use of Life Dew has the best life-extending effect.]

[4. The Datura grass at Jiaying No. 1 Middle School is about to mature. After years of accumulation, the Datura Grass King has emerged. Its roots are the main raw material for making the second-tier awakening potion. The Divine Phoenix Group is currently buying it at a high price. Beware, the scream of the Datura grass can cause cardiac arrest, so please cover your ears.]

[5. A week later, Professor Su Qingxian, director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, collapsed on Bianjiang Road, Jiaying Street, Jiaying City, due to a heart attack. She hadn't brought her nitroglycerin tablets with her. She was 65 years old. The major project she was in charge of was at a critical stage, which would cause the research of an important project of the Yan Kingdom Alliance to come to a standstill.]

This issue's intelligence report did provide a lot of useful information.

The whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

The evolutionary path of the grey tussock moth.

The means to enter the Shenhuang Group.

However, none of these pieces of information can compare to the last one.

Professor Su Qingxian, director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, has researched numerous evolutionary paths and can be considered a national-level figure.

How could someone like that be without protection, and how could the dramatic situation arise that he didn't have his nitroglycerin pills with him?

This must be an attempt by another country to assassinate Professor Su Qingxian, deliberately provoking her and causing her heart attack.

She is an elder whom all researchers deeply respect, and an idol to all scientific researchers.

Such a great and respectable person must never be allowed to get into trouble.

But how can we save Professor Su Qingxian's life?

Ye Bai had no choice but to transform into Y again and send out the information.

Although this carries significant risks, it's better than doing nothing.

Is there a drug that can treat heart disease and help Professor Su get rid of his illness?

Ye Bai's gaze fell on the Life Crystal Dew.

The sunflower king immediately shivered and rubbed its petals with its thick leaves.

Is this because the lab's air conditioning is on too high? Why am I feeling cold for no reason?

At this moment, Ye Bai took out the last part of the Bloodrage Rat King's body and handed it to the Sunflower King through gritted teeth. He hoped that the flesh and blood of the fourth-tier Bloodrage Rat King could help the Sunflower King condense some life crystals.

The Sunflower King tilted his head, a simple, honest smile on his face. "What a wonderful thing!"
Zhang Lingxue arrived at a heavily guarded place. After going through layers of checks, she finally reached a screen.

The situation was urgent, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered her teacher.

"Professor Zhang Lingxue, after approval, you have been granted permission to call the Imperial Capital Research Institute."

"Your call will not be recorded, please feel free to make the call."

Electronic synthesized sounds came from the speakers nearby.

The video call is being connected.

After a long while, an elderly man in a white coat answered the phone.

She was dressed quite simply, wearing a plain headband and her hair was neatly combed.

He wore a pair of very ordinary black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

This person was Zhang Lingxue's teacher, Professor Su Qingxian, the director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Zhang Lingxue is Professor Su's youngest and last disciple.

Professor Su revealed a warm and kind smile, as gentle as the sun: "Xiaoxue, what urgent matter brings you to me all of a sudden?"

Zhang Lingxue nodded: "Teacher, there really is something I need your help with, it's about my grandfather."

Zhang Lingxue transmitted the information she had through an encrypted channel.

Upon seeing the test report, Professor Su's expression immediately changed: "Xiaoxue, where did you find this?"

After seeing the old man's expression, Zhang Lingxue realized that Professor Su must recognize what it was. Her heart tightened: "I detected this in my grandfather's blood."

"Teacher, what exactly is this thing?"

Professor Su was silent for a moment before saying to Zhang Lingxue, "No wonder we haven't been able to detect it all this time."

"I recently took on a research project and did a lot of research before I learned about this thing."

"It's called Blood Gu."

"It can barely be considered a type of mythical beast."

Could it be considered a kind of mythical beast?
Zhang Lingxue didn't quite understand what she was saying.

Professor Su seemed to see Zhang Lingxue's confusion and explained to her, "Because whether it's a mythical beast or a pet, we all start from the first level."

"However, this kind of blood gu can be said to be a beast below the first rank, that is, a zero-rank beast."

"It is very weak, and any pet's skill can kill it."

"But it is also very powerful. Once it can invade the human body, it will absorb the blood and reproduce on a large scale."

"The host that is being parasitized will gradually weaken and eventually die a violent death."

"This kind of worm is also known as the cancer that cannot be killed."

At this point, Zhang Lingxue was very confused: "Teacher? If that's the case, won't this kind of Gu worm spread like an infectious disease?"

Professor Su shook his head: "You can think of the Gu worm as an ordinary invading cell. In the short time after it enters the human body, it will be devoured by macrophages and will not multiply in large numbers."

"Unless a special targeted drug is used, which would make the Gu worms disregard everything and risk being devoured by macrophages, it would be possible for them to successfully invade the human body and allow the blood Gu to multiply."

"At this time, they will begin to secrete a special hormone, which makes macrophages mistakenly believe that the Gu worms are their own kind."

"As far as I know, this medicine is extremely precious."

"This should be a man-made disaster."

"If we had known from the beginning that it was a Gu worm, we would have had special medicine to treat it."

"But once the Gu worms multiply in large numbers, there's not much that can be done."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxue immediately understood.

Someone deliberately injected the Gu worm into my grandfather's body.

"Xiaoxue, you should spend some time with your grandfather these days."

"Blood Gu are very active in human blood. They reproduce all the time and cause people to feel extremely painful, to the point that they wish they could end their lives by committing suicide."

"When the blood contains a large number of Gu worms, it is basically beyond medical help."

"That's strange. Logically, the instrument should have been able to detect it from the beginning!"

However, Su Qingxian's words surprised Zhang Lingxue: "Teacher, take a look at the high-definition video I recorded."

"Those Gu worms are all asleep."

Su Qingxian was stunned when she heard Zhang Lingxue's words.

She began to carefully watch the video that Zhang Lingxue had sent, confirming that all the Gu worms were asleep.

"That's strange. Has your grandfather been taking any special medications lately?"

"If the Gu worms are dormant, we can expel them by changing their blood multiple times."

"However, the price for doing this is quite heavy. Your grandfather's strength will continue to decline, and he will eventually become an ordinary person. Can he accept that?"
