Chapter 73 The Mysterious Dragon-Suppressing Stone
After trading ten silkworms, Zhang Lingxue and Ye Bai hurriedly left the breeding farm.

On the way back to the city, Ye Bai made an excuse to admire the beautiful scenery of the ancient bridge and let the gray poisonous moths fly down and stay on the bridge for a while.

Zhang Lingxue sat on the back of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, looking down from the air.

She knew Ye Bai must have discovered something, but everyone has their own secrets, so she decided not to expose them.

As a teacher, you certainly hope that your students will be more successful than you, so that the Yan Kingdom Alliance can become stronger and stronger.

This is a thousand-year-old stone bridge, with a long bridge body and a wide bridge surface.

The bridge is several hundred meters long and can accommodate four vehicles at the same time. The entire bridge is made of bluestone.

You can feel the marks of time on the bridge.

It seems like no one has crossed this bridge in a long time.

Wild grass grew under the bridge, with only a trickle of water passing beneath it.

The bridge was covered with moss.

The gray tussock moth fluttered its wings and landed, stirring up gusts of wind.

The wind blew, causing ripples to appear in the stream beneath the bridge.

The ancient stele on the bridge records the bridge's name: Zhenlong Bridge.

This is not the Jiaying River, but there is a thick, persistent gray fog under the ancient bridge.

Ye Bai went online to check the geographical location of this place.

A hundred years ago, this place was a long river, about the same size as the Jiaying River.

The bridge is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Changhe River.

Fifty years ago, a major earthquake occurred, causing the upper reaches of the Changhe River to change course. Residents living near Zhenlong Bridge, who preferred to live near water, all moved away from this place.

And so the Zhenlong Bridge was completely abandoned.

Due to long-term neglect, the bridge is covered with a thick layer of moss.

A touch of green brought life.

Ye Bai jumped off Xiao Zi's back and landed on the bridge surface, where the emerald green moss was a bit slippery.

He walked down the steps to the bridge, searching for the source of the gray fog.

The mud under the bridge reeked of a foul stench, and Ye Bai walked along it, his feet sinking deep into the mud.

Once he reached the center of the bridge, he confirmed that the gray mist was rising from the stream.

The stream flowed gently, the water only reaching Ye Bai's insteps.

He waded through the water and found the source of the gray mist, which was an irregular stone that was only blackish-gray.

Although it is only the size of a palm, it weighs as much as a thousand pounds.

The stone bears two large golden characters, "镇龙" (Zhenlong), written in small seal script.

It emitted a faint golden light under the sun's rays, and the moment it came into contact with the Dragon Suppressing Stone, a loud dragon roar echoed in Ye Bai's mind.

This reminded Ye Bai of what the intelligence report said: if the Dragon Slayer Sword were to be lightly flicked, it could emit a deafening dragon's roar.

What is the connection between the Dragon-Suppressing Stone and the Dragon-Slaying Sword?

Ye Bai felt it was necessary to investigate the connection between the Dragon-Suppressing Stone, the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and the Dragon-Walking Technique.

It might come in very handy in the future.

With a thought, he touched the Dragon-Suppressing Stone with both hands and put it into his pet space.

After the Dragon-Suppressing Stone disappeared, the ground shook slightly, and a gust of wind blew by, flattening the meter-high weeds around it.

A dark figure opened its eyes.

After returning to the research institute, Ye Bai learned about what had happened in the arena competition.

Principal Liu Hang personally came to the scene, and after learning the real reason from Su Na, he was both amused and exasperated.

This is a tragedy that happened because of a fart.

The outcome was that Ye Bai would bear the cost of repairing the arena.

After all, Ye Bai is the pet master of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, so the trouble caused by the Hundred Transformations Silkworm is naturally for Ye Bai to handle.

Ye Bai grinned after hearing this.

Principal Liu, you don't want your secret about being bald to become public knowledge, do you?

"Teacher, regarding the experiment on the evolution of the Blood Gu Butterfly, I think that bottle of mysterious Gu poison you took out plays a crucial role."

Do you still have any stock of the mysterious poison?

Zhang Lingxue smiled mysteriously, and ripples appeared in the air as the Blood Gu Butterfly rushed out.

"Don't rush, don't rush, the Blood Gu Butterfly's body stores a mysterious Gu poison."

"Those poisons all obey the command of the Blood Gu Butterfly."

The Blood Gu Butterfly extended its mouthparts and spat out drops of liquid the size of a thumb, which landed on the ten reagent bottles.

"This is a high concentration of Gu poison."

One drop is equivalent to a whole bottle.

"Now that the results of the arena competition have been announced, there shouldn't be anything important happening in the short term."

"Let's begin the experiment."

"This time, we must study the complete evolutionary path of the Blood Poison Moth and the Blood Gu Butterfly."

Ye Bai has successfully researched the Blood Gu Butterfly and Blood Poison Moth, but some specific details still need further refinement, and a complete reproducibility experiment is extremely important.

Just then, Zhang Lingxue's phone rang. She answered the call and they began to discuss it.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lingxue smiled and said, "Ye Bai, your Sunflower Cleaning Company has a business opportunity."

"Several cities in the surrounding area that have been invaded by the beast tide are currently struggling with how to deal with the mountains of monster corpses."

"Otherwise it will rot and stink."

"Don't worry, Chairman Wang will personally send people to take the Sunflowers to the city where the beast tide is happening, ensuring their safety."

"President Wang will help you negotiate the price; you won't be taken advantage of."

The flesh and blood of exotic beasts are generally poisonous and require special processing before they can be consumed by humans. Disposing of these beast carcasses has become an urgent matter for several pet guilds.

"No problem, I'll send Sunflower King to handle it."

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment before saying to Zhang Lingxue, "There's just one more thing. After the Hundred Transformations Silkworm consumes the meat of a high-level alien beast, its body may not be able to withstand the power, and it may end up in a state of self-destruction."

"I always use the Sunflower King to stop the Hundred Transformation Silkworm from self-destructing."

"Teacher, do you have a way to remove the self-destruct state of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm from your pet?"

Zhang Lingxue smiled, her slender, jade-like fingers pointing behind her: "This is all I can rely on."

Looking around, Ye Bai saw the Goddess of Light Butterfly floating in the air.

"My Light Goddess Butterfly can eliminate all kinds of abnormal statuses, including the self-destruct status."

"Moreover, based on my experience getting to know the Blood Gu Butterfly over the past two days, it seems that the Blood Gu Butterfly also possesses a special blood-sucking ability that allows it to absorb excess energy from the Hundred Transformations Silkworm."

At this moment, Ye Bai's ever-changing silkworm appeared at the entrance of the research institute, hopping and skipping.

It had a parking ticket in its mouth.

The ever-changing silkworm had a silly and cute expression on its face as it watched the research institute's surveillance camera.

Just then, the door to the research institute creaked open, and the robot guard came out and led the ever-changing silkworm inside.

When Ye Bai saw the hefty fine, he gasped.

He glared at the Myriad Transformations Silkworm, who shrank back.

Allow me to offer an explanation, no, to elaborate.

Zhang Lingxue chuckled: "Haha, Ye Bai, I didn't expect your Thousand Transformations Silkworm to blow up the entire arena with just a fart."

"It even led the students watching to believe that the Thousand-Change Silkworm had a very strong attack power."

"Don't worry, this is considered a school scandal, so Principal Liu has repeatedly ordered that it not be publicized."

"Otherwise, the school would be the one to lose face, and your innocence would be preserved."

"You don't need to worry about the ticket. Principal Liu won't dare to do anything to you. He's just putting on a show for others."

Ye Bai smiled mysteriously: "Teacher, you addressed me incorrectly just now. My pet beast is no longer the Thousand-Transformation Silkworm; it's now the Ten-Thousand-Transformation Silkworm."

After hearing this, Zhang Lingxue blinked.

She looked left and right, but couldn't see any difference between Ye Bai's Myriad Transformations Silkworm and Thousand Transformations Silkworm.

In her eyes, they were all similar to the ever-changing silkworm.

"Moreover, my ever-changing silkworm has mastered a special form."

"Myriad Transformations Silkworm, create your clones!"

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm shone brightly, having recovered most of its strength after a nap.

Points of white light gathered from the Myriad Transformations Silkworm and condensed in the air.

A dark red bloodsucking moth appeared.

"what?"

Zhang Lingxue rubbed her eyes. Was she hallucinating? She was seeing a blood poison moth.

A glint of light flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

As expected, just as he thought, once the Myriad Transformations Silkworm clones mimic the Blood Poison Moth, the clone's form will not be canceled unless it is specifically mimicked to record another form.

"This is the secret of my ever-changing silkworm. Please keep it a secret for me, teacher."

Ye Bai had absolute faith in Zhang Lingxue's character.

Moreover, his attempt to mimic the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Blood Gu Butterfly would not escape Zhang Lingxue's notice.

Even if there are secrets between a master and his apprentice, some things still need to be discussed in public.

"My clone of the Myriad Transformation Silkworm has mastered a very special mimicry skill. It can mimic and record all the evolutionary forms of the Hundred Transformation Silkworm, the Thousand Transformation Silkworm, and the Myriad Transformation Silkworm."

"This clone was created after the battle with the Blood Poison Moth, mimicking the appearance of the Blood Poison Moth."

At this moment, the Blood Poison Moth clone flew to the front of the Light Goddess Butterfly. It circled the Light Goddess Butterfly a few times, and a red light flashed in its eyes, as if it was recording something.

Soon, the Blood Poison Moth's clone began to change form, and after a short while, a Light Goddess Butterfly appeared.

The two Helios butterflies are almost identical, but they can still be distinguished slightly.

The Light Goddess Butterfly, which was transformed from a clone, had wings that were slightly darker in color.

Zhang Lingxue was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

"Ye Bai, your Myriad Transformations Silkworm is too abnormal."

"Let me borrow your teacher's materials for a few days."

"Have you tested whether there is any difference between the abilities of the clone and the pet it is mimicking?"

Zhang Lingxue immediately realized that even if her experiment failed this time and no Blood Gu Butterfly was evolved, she could still make the clone of the Myriad Transformations Silkworm transform into a Blood Gu Butterfly to absorb the Blood Gu on her grandfather's body.

"The abilities are about the same, but the effect may be a little worse, because my Myriad Transformations Silkworm is a second-tier pet beast, and even if the clone is mimicked, its strength cannot exceed the second tier."

"My Myriad Transformations Silkworm can only create two clones at the moment, but creating a second clone will consume all of the Myriad Transformations Silkworm's stamina."

Zhang Lingxue smiled and said, "If you let the Myriad Transformations Silkworm retract one of its clones and then release the second clone, wouldn't that save the Myriad Transformations Silkworm's energy?"

After hearing Zhang Lingxue's words, Ye Bai immediately felt that they made sense.

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm did as instructed, and the Light Goddess Butterfly's clone dissipated, turning into milky-white light spots that entered the Myriad Transformations Silkworm's body.

Then the Myriad Transformations Silkworm created a second clone. This time, the second clone was not malnourished, and the Myriad Transformations Silkworm only took a few deep breaths, still having energy left.

"The teacher is so smart."

Ye Bai gave Zhang Lingxue a small compliment, and with a flick of her wrist, the Blood Gu Butterfly slowly landed beside the clone.

Its blood-red compound eyes gazed curiously at the plump, white silkworm, and it really wanted to take a bite out of it.

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm looked the Blood Gu Butterfly up and down, and streams of blood-red aura surged from its body.

Its body began to swell and grow larger, and the blood mist enveloped it. Not long after, when the blood mist dissipated, another Blood Gu Butterfly appeared.

Please vote, please vote, please vote! I revised the previous chapter, adding a psychological description of the Myriad Transformations Silkworm. I've revised this chapter again, correcting some typos and awkward parts.
