The dark shadow was none other than the Blood Steel Rat, another evolutionary path of the Burrowing Rat.
After devouring the flesh of its kind and gnawing on enough metal material, the Burrowing Rat finally completed its final evolution.
Its defense was comparable to that of the Steel Burrowing Rat, but its aggression was higher.
Two Tier Two Exotic Beasts fighting against the Thousand-Change Silkworm put considerable pressure on the silkworm.
Especially since the claws of the Bloodstorm Rat could secrete highly poisonous venom. If hit by its claws, one would fall into a state of poisoning.
Facing the menacing two Tier Two Exotic Beasts, Ye Bai was nonetheless confident in the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
After all, its defense was extremely strong. Even the Tier Three Sunflower King needed to use seven or eight Vine Whips to defeat it.
But these two Burrowing Rats had just evolved to Tier Two, at the stage where they had just condensed a Crystal Core. They had not yet adapted to their evolved bodies, making it the best time to kill them.
The Bloodstorm Rat lunged forward with its sharp claws, exuding a trace of purple venom.
The Blood Steel Rat was about to make a move, but its limbs were suddenly bound tightly by vines.
It turned out to be the Sunflower King intervening, locking down the Blood Steel Rat’s actions.
Big Gray scratched its face innocently. These two Tier Two Exotic Beasts could be turned into a pile of bloody mush with just one slap.
Yet it faintly sensed that there seemed to be a big fellow hiding in the distance.
"Thousand-Change Silkworm, use Rolling."
The Thousand-Change Silkworm curled itself up again and dodged the Bloodstorm Rat’s attack by rolling at high speed.
The Bloodstorm Rat’s claws pierced into a nearby lamp post, which was made of superalloy, yet it got a bowl-sized hole pierced through it.
It withdrew its claw, its blood-red eyes glaring at the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
A blood-red mist spread from the Bloodstorm Rat’s body.
Its muscles began to swell, and it stood up.
"Thousand-Change Silkworm, finish off the Bloodstorm Rat first."
The Bloodstorm Rat had just completed its evolution, and its skin was still soft and blood-red.
As time passed, its skin would oxidize in the air, turning a dark red, and its defense would increase severalfold.
"The Thousand-Change Silkworm still lacks some offensive means."
The Thousand-Change Silkworm repeated its old trick, spewing out a large amount of insect silk, which were as sharp as to slice through iron like mud, towards the Bloodstorm Rat.
But the Bloodstorm Rat showed a mocking expression in its eyes. Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
The moment the insect silk contacted the blood mist, a large amount of white vapor erupted.
This blood mist was extremely corrosive.
The Bloodstorm Rat grinned, having discovered the Thousand-Change Silkworm’s lack of attack means.
This guy’s defense was strong, but its offensive capabilities were lacking, suitable for dealing with Tier One Exotic Beasts, but for them, who had advanced to Tier Two, it fell short.
"Thousand-Change Silkworm, aim at the lamp post, spit out the insect silk, secure it and pull hard."
Ye Bai continued to give instructions.
Though the Thousand-Change Silkworm didn’t understand why it had to do this, it obediently followed Ye Bai’s command, spitting out insect silk.
The insect silk wrapped around the lamp post, and the Thousand-Change Silkworm gave a fierce tug.
With a crunching, tooth-aching sound, the lamp post toppled.
And it fell right in the direction of the Bloodstorm Rat.
The Bloodstorm Rat, unable to dodge, was struck by the lamp post weighing several dozen kilograms, with most of its body pinned under it.
It struggled desperately, making squeaking sounds, yet could not break free.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm bounced to the front of the Bloodstorm Rat and suddenly spat out sharp insect silk from its mouth.
The glistening insect silk pinned the Bloodstorm Rat firmly to the ground.
With a swift yank by the Thousand-Change Silkworm, an oscillating blood-colored core appeared on the ground, the Bloodstorm Rat’s Blood Core, akin to an Exotic Beast Crystal Core.
With the Blood Core gone, the Bloodstorm Rat’s eyes turned lifeless, and it let out a wail to the sky, perishing.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm sniffed at the Blood Core with its large nose, sensing a pleasant aroma.
It then looked eagerly at Ye Bai, who nodded in approval, "You can eat this one."
So, the Thousand-Change Silkworm extended its long tongue, rolling the pulsating Blood Core into its mouth like enjoying a crunchy snack, making crackling sounds.
Before long, a warm sensation spread from the Thousand-Change Silkworm’s stomach to its entire body.
The stamina it had expended was visibly recovering.
At this moment, Ye Bai noticed that a new piece of text suddenly appeared in the Thousand-Change Silkworm’s skills list.
[Frenzy (1/100) Beginner]
He immediately displayed a surprised expression.
Darn it, this is the astonishing aspect of the Thousand-Change Silkworm—it can comprehend Skills by devouring Exotic Beast Crystal Cores.
The Blood Steel Rat charged over, looking at its comrade’s body with endless sorrow in its eyes.
Earlier, it was bound by the Sunflower King’s vines, forced to watch helplessly as its comrade was slain by the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
Fueled by rage, the Blood Steel Rat decided to hold nothing back, with the steel spikes on its body bristling, emitting a chilling gleam under the sun.
The blood-red evil qi emanating from the steel spikes intensified the Blood Steel Rat’s ferocity.
With a deep inhale, the steel spikes shot out like a torrential downpour, and the Blood Steel Rat aimed to bring down the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
"Thousand-Change Silkworm, High-Speed Rolling."
The Thousand-Change Silkworm curled its body like a heavy tank rolling on the ground, leaving a trail of sharp steel spikes.
These steel spikes also carried corrosive substances.
In the Jiaying City Pet Beast Union, the high-ranking members were gathered together.
Wang Jinyin had a trace of relief on his face.
Before the Beast Tide erupted, they had timely identified the location of the space rift.
Through fierce combat, they had killed part of the Burrowing Rats, while others escaped.
Though Burrowing Rats continued to flood through the rift, everything was within a controllable range.
"I have reported to the provincial Pet Beast Union, and they will send out more skilled Pet Beast Masters to resolve this matter."
"As for the escaped Burrowing Rats, we will dispatch specialists to clean them up, minimizing the losses in Jiaying City."
"Moreover, the provincial Pet Beast Union has sent a message that we must spare no effort in finding the person with the Future Prediction talent."
"Such a person is extremely important to our Flame Country Alliance!"
Wang Jinyin said resolutely.
"Chairman, now that the Beast Tide has been brought under control, do we still need to maintain a Level One Red Alert status across the city?"
