Chapter 340: Chapter 340

"Although the Secret Realm isn’t large, it’s more than sufficient for the Strong Iron Armor Ant colony."

"I’ve already relocated the Strong Iron Armor Ant Queen to the Secret Realm."

Ye Bai truly didn’t know there was a Secret Realm in the laboratory.

Imperial University is indeed impressive.

At this moment, the Strong Iron Armor Ant King let out a roar towards the sky.

The chains binding it were pulled tight, emitting a rustling noise.

Then there was a crack, and the chains instantly snapped.

The Strong Iron Armor Ant King directly broke through the glass display case, fiercely charging towards Ye Bai.

"What a temperamental little guy."

"But I like your rebellious nature."

"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm."

The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm curled its body, forming a Thunderball covered in Thunder Light, and charged heavily at the Strong Iron Armor Ant King.

The Thunderball collided with the Strong Iron Armor Ant King, forcing it to retreat continually, with golden Thunder Light spreading across its body.

The Thunder Light gradually intertwined to form an Electric Grid, firmly binding the Strong Iron Armor Ant King.

After being taught a lesson by the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, the Strong Iron Armor Ant King became obedient.

"Ye Bai, you’re the only one who can manage this Strong Iron Armor Ant King."

Ye Bai waved his hand.

"Send the Strong Iron Armor Ant King into the nest."

"Now we’ll see the results of the breeding."

"As for the Summer Grass Ant, I plan to apply to the school for another Secret Realm specifically for storing this type of Pet Beast."

"The infection of the Abyssal Spores is too strong; once they come into contact with people, the spores infiltrate the body, gradually controlling their consciousness and turning them into zombies."

"You shouldn’t get involved in this experiment for now. Leave the Strong Iron Armor Ant experiment to you."

"I suspect the Summer Grass Ant experiment will have to be moved elsewhere; it’s beyond my control now."

"It depends on what they decide!"

Ye Bai pointed upwards.

He packaged all the Summer Grass Ants into the Beast Card.

"By the way, this is my developed Fiery Flame Potion."

"It effectively clears spores remaining in the body."

"Spores aren’t detectable during their latent period, so injecting this Fiery Flame Potion will be safer."

"However, it will cause a bit of pain."

"By the way, if you duplicate the Fiery Flame Potion, how long does it take, and how many Crystal Cores are needed?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked.

Lan Fa spread his hand, and a milky white light covered the Fiery Flame Potion completely.

When the white light dissipated, a brand new potion appeared.

The whole process took only a blink of an eye.

"With my talent improvements, duplication efficiency has increased; duplicating this level of potion is easy, probably consuming only one percent of a Tier One Crystal Core."

Lan Fa said casually.

He then took the duplicated potion bottle and directly inserted the needle into the blood vessel on his neck.

"Indeed, not very painful."

Lan Fa felt his body heating up, his face becoming slightly hot to the touch.

Then a bone-piercing pain spread from within his body.

He felt all his bones emitting intense pain.

At that moment, Lan Fa was like a boiled shrimp, arching his back, not daring to move an inch for fear of more suffering with every move.

Sweat instantly soaked Lan Fa’s back.

Lan Fa felt like each second passed like a year.

After the pain subsided, Lan Fa was drenched like someone pulled from the water. The rıghtful source is noⅴelfire.net

"Seems like the spores did infect you."

"This complicates things."

Ye Bai didn’t know how many people in the school were latent with spores.

After all, since Chief Jiang returned from the Exotic Beast Battlefield, who knows how many people he has contacted.

Ye Bai directly reached out with arcs to Chief Jiang.

After informing him of this discovery, Chief Jiang came over immediately, bringing along a burly man.

"Ye Bai, this is my partner, Shield Warrior Zhang Tianliang. Recently, he’s felt that something’s wrong with his mind, like a little person constantly chattering in his head."

"I hope you can take a look at him. He participated in the Exotic Beast Battlefield with me and escorted me back."

"Even though he wore a thick protective suit back then."

"I think he might have been infected by Abyssal Spores too."

This was a very useful live sample.

Ye Bai needed to understand what happens when spores lurk inside a body and determine the stages.

It seems that Chief Jiang was at the most severe stage.

However, Ye Bai fears the spores have gained consciousness, hollowing out a person’s body and disguising themselves as human.

Ye Bai had Zhang Tianliang lay on the operating table and had Lan Fa create thumb-thick chains to bind him tightly.

Then he began drawing Zhang Tianliang’s blood, doing full-body X-ray and CT scans.

After a series of comprehensive examinations, Ye Bai found a shadow in Zhang Tianliang’s brain stem.

No abnormalities were found in other parts of his body.

Is the spore controlling a person’s brain consciously?

Ye Bai touched his chin, continuing to ponder.

He picked up a bottle of Fiery Flame Potion and injected it into Zhang Tianliang’s carotid artery.

The Fiery Flame Potion was injected, and Zhang Tianliang’s dark face gradually turned red.

He suddenly opened his eyes and let out a beast-like roar.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins at his temples throbbed like worms.

His muscles swelled up, seemingly entering a Frenzy state.

There was a bang as one chain snapped, and the other chains made a creaking sound, with visible cracks appearing.

Lan Fa quickly brought new chains to securely restrain Zhang Tianliang.

Zhang Tianliang was in so much pain that snot was flowing, wanting desperately to end it all.

The key was that Zhang Tianliang’s mind was extremely clear; he considered fainting a bliss.

"The situation seems dire."

"How many people are infected, I wonder."

"The crucial thing is that after spores are latent, identifying those infected is a massive undertaking."

Ye Bai didn’t have enough live materials to tell the difference.

"I’ll quickly investigate who Zhang Tianliang interacted with after returning."

"According to Zhang Tianliang, he occasionally felt like a little person was talking to him in his mind."

"We could investigate anyone who’s had sudden personality changes or abnormalities recently."

"Then we can invite them to the lab for investigation."

Chief Jiang, as the chairman of the student council at Imperial University, had the authority for this.

"Then it’s a bother for Chief Jiang, don’t let Imperial University become a joke."

As the Supreme Academy of Flame Country, such an outbreak would definitely become a laughingstock abroad.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I want to ask, how much Fiery Flame Potion can you produce in an hour?"

"We could manufacture Fiery Flame Potion in advance, in case of a mass infection event, allowing us to respond promptly."

"I can allocate student council funds to reserve a budget portion."

"If no outbreak occurs, it’s a win-win situation; the Fiery Flame Potion can be used to cultivate Fire Pet Beasts."

Ye Bai nodded: "Regarding the Fiery Flame Potion, you don’t need to worry."

"I can produce it in batches, no problem."

"The most important task now is identifying the infected."

"That’s where we’ll need to spend time and effort."

"I’ll also report to my teacher; this isn’t a trivial matter."

"The spores proliferate rapidly, and an outbreak means a grave public safety incident."

"We mustn’t take this lightly; I’ll expedite the research on detection standards."
