Versatile Mage: Item Evolution Begins with Ice Scorpion

Chapter 16: The Queen Worm Performs a Meritorious Service, Selling Blue Shirt Intelligence

The silver-striped scorpion was not idle. It raised the long scorpion tail behind it, which was like a steel pillar, and danced out afterimages in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the silver scorpion's tail coiled up like a thorn in the flesh, strangling Hui Yi so much that his eyes bulged out and he died on the spot with a lot of blood spurting out of his mouth.

"Wind Blade Slash!"

Ai Tutu gave a delicate shout, and the strong green light transformed into a two-meter-long green wind-slashing light, locking onto Hui Er and Hui San who were fleeing in panic.

The green slashing light turned into a thin long line that swept through the air, and the hastily fleeing Hui Er and Hui San were cut in half on the spot, deader than dead.

With the death of four Gray Cultists and 25 Black Beasts, the battle quickly came to an end.

“There’s no one else around.”

Bai Tingting covered her head with her hands and used her sound ability to sense every movement around her.

"Sister Mu, am I awesome?"

Ai Tutu put away the wind-type magic-slaying tool in his hand and said with a smile.

"Tutu, you are the best."

Mu Nujiao smiled and pinched the other person's face.

"Collect the loot."

Bai Ye said casually while looking at those large-jawed army ants.

Several large-jawed army ants nodded, raised a pair of sharp mandibles at the corners of their mouths, and began to dig up the bodies of several gray-robed cultists.

"Are you all right? Classmate Xu Zhaoting."

Bai Ye finally had time to look at the other side of the battlefield, where Xu Zhaoting was struggling to get up with the help of Zhang Lulu.

"I am grateful for your kindness. Brother Bai Ye, if you need me for anything in the future, just let me know."

Xu Zhaoting's physical pain had eased a lot at this moment. He glanced at the three people who were approaching and bowed deeply.

"Xu Zhaoting, are you from Bo City?" Bai Ye asked.

"Yes." Xu Zhaoting nodded and admitted.

“I don’t know what’s going on in your head. You’re just a mid-level mage. You know that the Black Awakening Court has a lot of people and they have the Black Beast Demon by their side, but you still dare to bring your girlfriend along for free.

When you encountered clues suspected to be related to Hei Jueting, you didn't tell the Trial Council and ask for support immediately. Who gave you the courage to be a lone hero?

This time we happened to find this place while tracking down the shadow monster. If you act impulsively like this next time, even gods can't save you. Go back and reflect on yourself." Bai Ye scolded unceremoniously.

Before he finished speaking, in order to make Xu Zhaoting remember what he said, Bai Ye slapped him hard on the shoulder, causing him to grimace in pain for a long time.

"Tingting, help him heal his wound." Bai Ye looked at Bai Tingting who was following him.

"Okay, heal the fairy butterfly."

Bai Tingting nodded, and a milky white healing butterfly cast a little glow, and the claw marks on Xu Zhaoting's back and the scratches on his arms quickly recovered.

"Thank you, thank you." Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu hurriedly thanked Bai Tingting.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Bai Tingting smiled gently and waved her hand.

"You two should go back together. Don't even think about getting involved in Hei Jueting's affairs before you break through to a higher level." Bai Ye said nothing more.

Zhang Lulu had a complicated expression on her face. She suddenly raised her little hand and slapped Xu Zhaoting, followed by a warning.

After Xu Zhaoting admitted his mistake, the two left the old factory together.

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu didn't say anything, they just stood aside and watched the show silently.

Ai Tutu didn't speak until Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu disappeared.

"That girl named Zhang Lulu is so infatuated with Xu Zhaoting. When will I be able to meet such a soulmate?"

Ai Tutu was still sighing in the first half of the sentence, but became crazy in the second half. Bai Ye, Bai Tingting, Mu Nujiao, "."

"Tutu, can you be a little more normal?" Mu Nujiao sighed and held her forehead with her hand.

Bai Ye ignored the complaints of the two women behind him, and summoned the scaly-skinned queen from the Zerg space.

After a purple earthworm-like scaly-skin mother worm, half the size of a palm, appeared, the scaly-skin mother worm, which was in telepathic communication with him, instantly understood what he meant.

A purple halo the size of a basketball condensed in Bai Ye's hand, and was then stained with some black pus transformed from the black beast.

The purple halo quickly expanded to the size of a door panel, and a wavy area map suddenly appeared inside it. There were only two black spots of light echoing in the distance on the area map.

A thumb-sized black light spot in the center of the area map gradually spread out into circles of ripples, echoing with another slightly larger black light spot farther away.

On the other side, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu also noticed the purple halo in front of Bai Ye and gathered around curiously.

"Brother Bai Ye, what is this?" Bai Tingting asked curiously.

"It should be a special ability of the poisonous insects under his command. It looks like the Gaode map." Mu Nujiao analyzed after observing for a moment.

"Well, almost. This is an ability that can locate the life fluctuations of the black beast monster. The blue-clothed deacon must be surrounded by multiple warrior-level cursed beast monsters. This is the best precise locator.

Moreover, Hei Jue Ting has offered a bounty within the Trial Council: 500,000 for a gray-robed cultist, 9 million for a black-robed cultist, and 120 million for a blue-robed deacon, regardless of life or death, but the identity must be absolutely verified, or there must be absolute evidence.

The "Soul-Seeking Earthworm" I trained helped me find a big fish of the blue-clothed level, so I plan to use this information to sell the blue-clothed deacon for a good price." Bai Ye said with a chuckle.

"One hundred and twenty million, such a huge bounty?!" Mu Nujiao said in surprise.

"If we capture him alive, the bounty would conservatively start at 200 million. However, with the level of the blue-robed deacon, it would be difficult to capture him alive without a team of high-level mages.
This big fish is also a pleasant surprise. Just selling it to the Inquisition will make my trip worthwhile." Bai Ye said with a smile.

Bai Ye took out his cell phone and dialed the number of the trial meeting.

"Hey, you are Judge Nighthawk, right? I am Bai Ye, the second son of the Bai family in Magic City. I have a poisonous insect ability that can track the blue-clothed deacon. I wonder if you are interested?"

Bai Ye said this in a flat tone, but there was no sound on the other end of the line.

It was not until more than a minute later that a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I know your identity, so I don't hope you're kidding. Also, what evidence or ability do you have to prove the authenticity of the intelligence?"

Nighthawk's words came from the other end of the line.

"The Inquisition has long wanted to get rid of this Black Jue Ting cancer lurking in the Magic City. It is better to have a piece of information than to be a headless fly.
In addition, I hope Judge Nighthawk will not tell everyone in public that it was me who provided this information. As a child of an aristocratic family, it is not appropriate for me to intervene in the open struggle of the Heijue Court.

Besides, I am from a noble family, so it would not do me any good to make such a joke, right?" Bai Ye said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll believe what you say this time. I'll send two reserve judges over to borrow your poisonous insect ability. The code is..." Nighthawk said and hung up the phone.

Bai Ye nodded and took note, and soon exchanged secret signals with the visitor, handing over the scaly-skinned mother insect disguised as a purple "soul-seeking earthworm" to the two trainee judges who came to take away the poisonous insects.

Evidence proving the identities of the five Hei Jue Ting members was also handed in, in exchange for a bounty of 250 million, which was divided equally among the four.

"Brother Bai Ye, what should we do next?" Bai Tingting asked with some confusion.

"The clues are cut off here at the processing plant. I'm afraid someone has already captured the shadow monster in advance. Let's just go and intercept their gains." Bai Ye suggested.

"Ok."

"I'm OK."

"Tingting will listen to you."

Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu and Bai Tingting all nodded in agreement.

At this moment, several large-jawed army ants also collected some debris and sent them to Bai Ye as if asking for credit.

Bai Ye took a look and saw that they were all small pieces of valuables, so he stuffed them directly into the Zerg space.
