Versatile Mage: Item Evolution Begins with Ice Scorpion

Chapter 11: Soul Gathering and Tracking, Stuck BUG [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The next day, the school held a commendation meeting for the whole school.

Academician Li announced that last night's demon incident in the gymnasium had been resolved by Bai Ye from the Bai family alone. Because the incident happened suddenly, Bai Ye killed the scaly-skinned mother demon with thundering means, reducing casualties to a minimum.

Only the technician aunt who was parasitized by the scaly-skin mother demon appeared on the death list. After her body was dissected, it was found that she had been devoured by the parasitic demon several days ago.

Once the news spread, her family not only received relief money from the government, but also received donations from people from all walks of life.

After the commendation meeting, Bai Ye also received some calls of condolences from relatives and friends.

"Hey, don't worry, patriarch. I have a complete set of magic tools on me. Did this stadium incident also increase the reputation of the Bai family?" Bai Ye said with a smile.

“Bai Ye, you have done a great job. The GDP of the family’s trade department has increased by more than ten percentage points.

After discussing with several elders, I decided to give you a reward. What gift do you want?" Bai Wanpeng's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is Galaxy Vein okay? My poison system is about to break through to the intermediate third level."

"Yes, the family will allocate you a high-quality Galaxy Vein from the resource library." Bai Wanpeng said.

Bai Ye nodded and ended the conversation with the head of the family.

He also took the time to reply to the messages from Bai Tingting, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

"Ding dong!"

A new friend request popped up on Bai Ye’s phone, waiting for his approval. The caller only had one name in the note - Dean Xiao!
After a moment, Bai Ye quickly walked to the top floor of the library, knocked on the door politely, and waited until he heard a calm voice from inside saying "come in" before pushing the door open.

"Hello, President Xiao, do you have something to talk to me about?" Bai Ye walked into the independent conference room and asked.

"Bai Ye, you did a great job in this gymnasium demon incident. I also understand what happened. The school will reward you with an opportunity to practice in the Three-Step Tower. You must seize it." Dean Xiao said with a smile.

"Thank you, President Xiao." Bai Ye said with a bit of surprise on his face.

After coming out of the library, Bai Ye ran off campus to rent a room and began to study the two talent entries and the corpse of the scaly queen beetle he had just obtained.

Although the scaly-skinned queen is dead, Bai Ye still has its corpse and spirit in his hands, which can be considered an alternative parasitic demon soul.

Not to mention that there are two talent entries. Bai Ye can also use poison magic power and the mysterious energy in the Zerg space to cultivate a new scaly-skinned queen.

Bai Ye did it right away, and his spiritual body sank into the Zerg space.

The poisonous magic energy was first injected into the body of the scaly-skinned queen worm to help it heal its wounds. Then Bai Ye used his mental power to guide the essence into the body of the scaly-skinned queen worm.

[Devouring Demon Species - Grants any Zerg life form the ability to devour flesh and blood/soul energy to evolve itself. This ability is applicable to the Commander level and has little effect on the Monarch level Zerg life forms].

[Note: Purple unique talent entries can only be loaded/extracted once.]

"There is a bug that can be exploited. The scaly-skinned queen worm is equipped with the talent of devouring monsters, and slowly develops a group of scaly-skinned monster soldiers in the dark.
As for the extracted gifted demon species, it can be transformed into real combat power for another insect with strong giftedness." Bai Ye touched his chin and thought.

After determining the destination of the purple unique talent entry, Bai Ye loaded the two talent entries onto it.

Further strengthening its talents has an effect far greater than 1+1+2.

The three-finger-wide scaly mother insect slowly opened its eyes, and its body suddenly expanded. A circle of purple lines quietly condensed on its head, and it transformed into a purple scaly earthworm.

[Scaly skin mother insect] [Gender: female]

[Strength: Little Warrior/Childhood]

[Talent: Scale-skin parasite, Devouring demon species]

[Abilities: parasitic camouflage, control of one's own kind, soul gathering and tracking, mental network]

[Current status: Omitted. (No evolution quota available)]

[Note: This is a top-grade scaly-skinned queen with a purple talent entry. It is worth cultivating. This general-level demon already has a talent entry slot (2/2)]

The newly born scaly-skinned queen established a mental link with Bai Ye and explained her talents and abilities in detail.

Several abilities have literal meanings. Bai Ye roughly understood them and found that the ability called Soul Gathering and Tracking was a bit interesting.

After devouring the body tissues of a demon, the scaly-skinned queen worm can condense a spirit-gathering halo above its head to lock onto its original kind. The radiation range of this ability is hundreds of kilometers in the initial stage, which can be considered a tracking skill.

In just a moment, Bai Ye thought of where this ability could be used.
“Swish, swish~!”

A rapid flapping sound of wings was heard, and what came into Bai Ye's eyes was a giant six-winged centipede that was more than ten meters long.

The giant six-winged centipede has three pairs of translucent wings growing on the back of its neck. The thick dark purple carapace and two rows of forest white centipede claws complement each other. A pair of slender jaws keep opening and closing, with pieces of heart-pounding thunder blades lingering on them.

Moreover, the aura of this six-winged thunder centipede is quite powerful, and its momentum is even more powerful than that of the great general-level ice-armored scorpion. It has almost entered the advanced stage of the general level.

It is the contracted poisonous insect that Bai Ye cultivated by feeding it resources for half a year and using his second general-level quota - the six-winged thunder centipede!

Centipede is a celestial dragon.

"Hiss~!"

The six-winged thunder centipede hissed a few times in a flattering manner around Bai Ye's spiritual body. Bai Ye grinned and touched the other's thick purple head armor.

Well. Because it is a lightning-type poisonous insect, it feels a bit tingling when you touch it with your palm.

The talent and aptitude of this six-winged thunder centipede is one level higher than that of the ice-armored scorpion, and its potential is worthy of Bai Ye's training to the commander level.

With a thought, Bai Ye added the extracted purple unique talent entry of [Devouring Demon Species] to the Six-Winged Thunder Centipede.

As for the talent entries suitable for the Ice Scorpion in the future, he has better arrangements. There are quite a few ice resources and frost species in the original work.

After communicating with several powerful poisonous insects for a while, Bai Ye withdrew from the Zerg space with a thought and began to meditate on the poison nebula.

A night of silence.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed.

Apart from occasionally exchanging magic skills with Mu Nujiao, Bai Ye specially asked Dean Xiao for permission to stay off-campus for a period of time. Most of his time and energy were spent on cultivating the poisonous nebula.

Bai Ye was currently sitting in a small compartment in the Bai family's treasured place for cultivation. He took a deep breath and opened a special vessel given to him by his family.

There are two goose egg-sized galaxy veins lying quietly inside.
The Vein of the Galaxy has a large goose egg, shaped like a diamond, but more crystal clear than a diamond. It is dotted with countless dense light spots. If you look closely, you will find that they are as beautiful and bright as a galaxy.

Bai Ye reached out and took out one of the high-quality Galaxy Veins, and began to attack the high-level poison system.
