The core of the Fire Mushroom was dug out by the Nether Wolf.

The tearing sensation caused by the rupture of the contract left Wang Gang in unbearable pain, feeling as though his soul was being torn apart by invisible hands.

"Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, take care of this Ice Mushroom, it can be your snack."

The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon was summoned by Ye Bai.

The overwhelming dragon might made the Ice Mushroom shiver uncontrollably, as the Dragon Bloodline is at the pinnacle of the pyramid for all Exotic Beasts.

Countless Exotic Beasts dream of becoming Dragon Element Pet Beasts.

"Resist, Ice Mushroom."

Wang Gang shouted loudly, his face contorted in pain, but if he didn't speak, the Ice Mushroom might be torn apart by the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.

Just like the Fire Mushroom whose core was dug out by the Nether Wolf earlier.

The Ice Mushroom used its trumpet-like mouth to spray a series of ice-blue streams.

The streams condensed in mid-air, and waves of frost charged towards the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.

The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon grinned; it was the favored child of ice and frost, how could it be frozen by frost?

The cool breeze made the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon feel extraordinarily comfortable.

So comfortable that its entire body relaxed, it transformed into an arrow leaving the string, launching towards the Ice Mushroom.

An ice-blue figure flashed by.

The Ice Mushroom collapsed on the ground, revealing a bowl-sized hole in its chest.

Ice-blue liquid flowed out from the Ice Mushroom, splattering all over the ground.

"Ice Mushroom!!!"

Wang Gang was instantly shocked.

At this moment, he found himself surrounded by the Nether Wolf and the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.

"Nether Wolf, capture Wang Gang."

Ye Bai didn't want such a unique talent as Wang Gang to die just like that.

The fact that he could cultivate the White Jade Glaze Mushroom was already a huge asset.

The White Jade Glaze Mushroom is an extremely delicate Pet Beast.

It has very high requirements for its growing environment; too high or too low temperatures won't do, and it needs specific water and soil conditions.

There were attempts to transplant the White Jade Glaze Mushroom into test fields.

However, the White Jade Glaze Mushroom, which thrived in the wild, would wither and emit a foul odor once transplanted into the test field.

This smell couldn't be removed within a month.

There was a trace of madness in Wang Gang's eyes; he laughed wildly towards the sky: "Even if I die, I refuse to become a captive."

Wang Gang's body began to swell continuously, with blinding light emanating from his eyes, nostrils, and ears.

He chose to self-destruct rather than be captured.

"Self-Destruct?"

"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm."

The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm summoned four clones, dispersing them around to form a small barrier.

A blinding light emerged from the barrier.

Deafening sounds bombarded the barrier in waves.

Even the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm's four summoned clones had drops of blood trickling from their nostrils.

Evidently, Wang Gang's explosion had exceeded their bearing capacity.

Once the light faded away, the four clones dissipated into smoke.

The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm collapsed on the ground, gasping heavily.

It almost couldn't hold on just now; it overused its spiritual power to protect Ye Bai and safeguard the entire underground laboratory.

Looking at the charred remains of Wang Gang, a trace of regret appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

"If this talent for spore manipulation could be used to cultivate a botany expert, imagine the amazing results."

"Important talents require focused cultivation; during talent testing, how many people miss out on opportunities due to a misunderstanding of their gift."

"By the time they realize it, their talent development is minimal, and they lack the energy to further develop it."

"Their edge is dulled by society."

Ye Bai thought that Flame Country should put more effort into talent testing.

Otherwise, some special talents would be lost just like that.

Just as Ye Bai was about to leave, he suddenly noticed white mold starting to grow on the ground where Wang Gang once stood, visible to the naked eye.

The mold quickly engulfed Wang Gang's remains.

He rubbed his eyes.

"Sunflower Emperor."

The Sunflower Emperor understood Ye Bai's meaning.

It extended a leaf and gently tapped the white mold on the ground.

A drop of Celestial Dew dripped onto the mold from the leaf.

The mold proliferated at a visible speed.

Not long after, it formed a giant spore two meters tall.

After opening the Eye of Insight, he discovered a clue.

There was a humanoid figure inside the spore, holding several White Jade Glaze Mushrooms.

Streams of life force began to separate from the White Jade Glaze Mushroom, flowing into the charred body.

"So this was Wang Gang's means of feigning death."

"It's quite flawed."

"As long as someone remains here, they are sure to discover Wang Gang's fake death."

"However, since your current form is in between human and Exotic Beast, I should be able to use the Beast Card to completely seal you."

Ye Bai then produced a Beast Card.

He waved it at the massive mushroom, applying a terrifying suction, and the mushroom was sucked into it.

At this time, many previously spore-parasitized people gradually regained consciousness.

However, since they'd been parasitized for so long, the spores within them hadn't been completely cleansed.

So, they soon fell back into a drowsy sleep.

"Phew, as long as the Blood Gu consumes these spores in people, those parasitized should awaken."

Lan Fa's medicine had already been fully administered to the vegetative patients.

At that moment, a piercing alarm sounded.

Beep beep beep beep.

"What's happening, what's going on?"

Ye Bai emerged from the underground laboratory, filled with surprise and suspicion.

What was initially a sunny sky was now overcast with dark clouds and rumbling with thunder.

In an instant, the dark clouds tore open a seam, and numerous black fireballs descended like a meteor shower at night.

The air was thick with the scent of sulfur as the fireballs hurtled fiercely towards the fortress of the Southern Celestial Gate.

Fireballs tore through the sky, accompanied by howling wind and blinding firelight, colliding with the solid walls, producing deafening roars.

The once hard exterior of the Southern Celestial Gate began to crack under the repeated impacts, with stones scattering and dust swirling.

On the wall, General Han Yan looked grave, tightly gripping his weapon, the Heaven-Piercing Halberd.

This Heaven-Piercing Halberd was forged from dark golden metal, the halberd tip brimming with sharp, cold light.

The long shaft was like black golden Dragon Scales.

Droplets of blood trickled down from the Heaven-Piercing Halberd.

The fireballs raged like a furious storm, mercilessly sweeping away everything, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and burning.

At this time, both the Flood Dragon and Fang Ritu were tensely watching the black fireballs whistling from high above.

"The Magma Dragon Turtle is about to awaken."

"The black fireballs are its prelude to awakening."

Han Yan sighed heavily, knowing all too well how troublesome the Magma Dragon Turtle would be.

Each time it led numerous Exotic Beasts to assault the Southern Celestial Gate, allowing the majority of them to die first before feasting on their bodies.

It possessed the ability of Absolute Defense, and even a Tier Seven Pet Beast Master couldn't break through the Magma Dragon Turtle's defense.

Its layers of black shiny turtle shells were built from the special metal it absorbed from the lava day after day, year after year.

Ordinary physical attacks were utterly ineffective against the Magma Dragon Turtle.

Even when someone dispatched a Water Pet Beast to attack it, the Magma Dragon Turtle was so enormous that the water attacks were akin to small streams.

Not only were they ineffective against the Magma Dragon Turtle, they also served to enrage it.

The Magma Dragon Turtle only made probing attacks on the Southern Celestial Gate and wouldn't launch a real assault.

Once it had collected enough food and had its fill, the Magma Dragon Turtle would withdraw back into the magma to resume its slumber.

"Luckily, the Magma Dragon Turtle doesn't appear every month; once it's full, it returns to sleep in the magma."
