Chapter 188: Chapter 152: Another Evolutionary Path—Thunderburst Dragonfly
"Upon first ingestion of Thunder Gall and the Crystal Core of the Ancient Lantern Fish combined, the first group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions exhibited extreme calmness, with a faint electric current emanating from their bodies, all in good condition."
"The second group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions discharged electrical arcs from within their bodies, still maintaining a decent state."
"The third group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions were covered head to toe in electric currents, and the current within steadily increased."
"The fourth group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions appeared highly agitated, ramming their big heads fiercely against the tank, seemingly uncomfortable due to excessive energy within."
"The fifth group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions floated motionlessly in the water, seemingly having fainted from pain."
"Sunflower Emperor, please treat the fifth group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions."
Originally, Ye Bai wanted to see how long the fifth group of Thunder Light Water Scorpions would remain unconscious, but time did not wait for anyone, and Ye Bai had to urge the Sunflower Emperor to speed up.
Sunflower Emperor dripped a single clear drop of liquid into the fifth group’s tank, a Life Dew nurtured exclusively by a Tier Four Sunflower Emperor, providing lesser efficacy than Life Crystal Dew, but sufficient for Pet Beast healing.
After half an hour, all five groups of Thunder Light Water Scorpions recovered and were frolicking in the tank.
Ye Bai next intended to conduct a biological test experiment.
Every step of the experiment is precise, where any mistake could lead to wasted efforts.
He would release a thousand Dark Night Mosquito larvae into each Thunder Light Water Scorpion tank.
Ye Bai wished to observe whether the combat capabilities of these Thunder Light Water Scorpions had enhanced.
Previously, Ye Bai tested and found that Thunder Light Water Scorpions’ bodies were hard, faintly emitting an electric aura, which the Dark Night Mosquito larvae were powerless against.
There was also a risk of the larvae being counterattacked by the Thunder Light Water Scorpions.
The first and second groups of Thunder Light Water Scorpions showed negligible change, using electric currents to paralyze the Dark Night Mosquito larvae before slowly biting off their heads.
Yet, starting from the third group, the current within simply electrocuted the larvae to death.
The fifth group was most terrifying, electrocuting the Dark Night Mosquito larvae till they exploded, with the most tempestuous personalities.
Time ticked by, and soon it was midnight, Ye Bai’s system refreshed.
[1. Dark Night Mosquitoes, like moth-type Exotic Beasts, have phototactic traits, drawn by light sources at night.]
[2. Studies indicate that male and female Thunder Light Water Scorpions, upon evolution, display slightly different appearances; males have a more attractive form.]
[3. The outbreak of Dark Night Mosquitoes in West River Province is closely linked to the covert promotion by the Gu Poison Sect, intending to gather significant Essence Blood for Gu Refining; Blood Gu originates from their sect.]
[4. A thousand-year-old clam mother perished by the Jiaying River’s edge, its shell located precisely beneath the river bridge’s foundations, soon to be discovered by Pet Beast Union members, with its Black Pearl and White Pearl enhancing Spiritual Power.]
[5. The Dark Night Mosquito outbreak has unsettled some churches, broadcasting catastrophe theories; Jiaying City’s Sanhua Street serves as a base for an obscure small church.]
Ye Bai reviewed the intelligence and considered the optical mosquito repellent a decent strategy, pondering why he hadn’t thought of it earlier.
Much like humans employing UV lamps, directly attracting mosquitoes and dealing with them is an effective notion.
However, this demands substantial space for arrangement, ensuring mosquitoes can’t escape. Overall, not an easy undertaking.
Ye Bai squinted slightly, using the Eye of Insight to assess the Thunder Light Water Scorpions’ condition.
Their mental states were satisfactory, feeding Thunder Gall in larger proportions resulted in larger Thunder Light Water Scorpions.
Ye Bai surmised they might evolve in an entirely new direction.
Three days swiftly passed.
Since Ye Bai introduced the optical mosquito-repelling method, Chairman Wang and Chairman Liu set a trap.
They lured the Dark Night Mosquitoes to an open space using light sources and had Fire Pet Beast Masters incinerate the mosquitoes to ashes.
Repeating this process a few times led to a noticeable decline in Dark Night Mosquito numbers.
Citizens felt more at ease stepping outside, no longer returning with swollen bites on their legs or arms, clueless about when the Mosquitoes attacked.
Chairman Liu reported Ye Bai’s method to West River Province; whether optical, chemical, or biological mosquito-repelling methods, he informed those in West River Province.
He could only employ this technique as a temporary measure against the Dark Night Mosquito outbreak.
Applying this method eradicated waves of Dark Night Mosquitoes in West River Province, infuriating Gu Poison Sect members.
The mosquitos were painstakingly cultivated by them, only to be burnt away.
Despite this, there remained a significant number of mosquitoes, prompting Gu Poison Sect members to shift from overt to covert strategies, continuing manipulation of Dark Night Mosquitoes for personal gain.
With alleviated pressure, Ye Bai gained more time to engage in research.
Three days later, the Thunder Light Water Scorpions were floating motionlessly in the water, a sign of their evolution.
Thunderburst Dragonflies would shed their old bodies, welcoming new beginnings.
A blinding light emerged from the Thunder Light Water Scorpions.
They were about to commence evolving.
Influenced by Thunder Gall, Thunder Light Water Scorpions fed larger portions of Thunder Gall grew larger.
Conversely, those with smaller portions were considerably smaller.
