Small trouble?

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow. If it was a task that even the director of the underground laboratory found troublesome, it certainly wasn't simple.

The underground laboratory was akin to the Flame Country's Bureau 750, where various rare exotic beasts from different worlds were studied.

The Divine Plane was the closest to Blue Star, but the Abyss Plane was as well. Additionally, there were various exotic beasts from other planes, such as the Oxhead and Horseface, Black and White Impermanence from the Underworld Plane, and Asura from the Blood Sea Plane, among others.

They all regarded Blue Star as their sacred place of faith, thus engaging in fierce competition for it.

However, due to the constraints of Blue Star's rules, the mighty figures of these planes couldn't surpass the crystal wall and couldn't effectively plunder Blue Star.

Therefore, they could only take a roundabout approach, smuggling some weaker yet capable exotic beasts through the crystal wall and into Blue Star.

Ye Bai thought that once Blue Star's upgrade was complete, these plane leaders would probably start fighting.

At that time, Blue Star would have only one outcome: its territories being divided by other planes.

Humanity would become the gods' slaves, constantly contributing their faith until their death and disappearance.

"Director Du, can you tell me what's going on?"

"I'm in a hurry to get to the Qi Fortune Hall, can't afford any delay. I'm afraid Marshal Qilin is looking for me about something."

Ye Bai wasn't easy to deal with, so he casually made an excuse to avoid trouble.

"Wait, wait, Lord Kuimu Wolf, I have something here that will surely interest you."

"I've got a mutated Profound Turtle here."

"And it's a very rare double-headed Profound Turtle, one head snake-like, the other turtle-like."

"I wonder if you're interested."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai finally showed interest.

A double-headed Profound Turtle could signify the development of a legendary exotic beast, the guardian Black Tortoise of the four directions.

If the Black Tortoise could be cultivated, he would surely go down in history.

Seeing Ye Bai's interest piqued, Du Shukui's face finally relaxed a bit.

It seemed the topic of the double-headed Profound Turtle indeed captured Ye Bai's interest.

"So, what's the matter?"

Ye Bai asked Du Shukui.

"Actually, it's not that difficult."

"It's just that this double-headed Profound Turtle recently stopped eating, and over time, it's grown increasingly emaciated."

"I'm worried that this potential future Black Tortoise could die in the laboratory."

"Lord Kuimu Wolf, you're quite skilled in pet beast cultivation, so I wanted to consult you."

"Otherwise, I can't report back to my superiors."

"This also concerns the fortune of the Flame Country, so I had no choice but to seek your help."

"Please, do have mercy on your fellow countrymen of Flame Country."

Du Shukui had no other options left.

"Alright, take me to have a look then."

Ye Bai nodded.

"Alright, Lord Kuimu Wolf, please follow me."

"And you can also take a tour of the underground laboratory."

This so-called laboratory was actually larger than a research institute.

Ye Bai saw a towering giant hand, what's crucial is that the arm was still alive.

In the center of the palm was a giant eye, its pupil fiery red.

This giant hand was tightly chained, imprisoned in a transparent showcase.

"This is the arm of the Hundred-armed Giant, who cut off its arm and threw it into Blue Star."

"We found it on a remote island, and it had almost devoured all living creatures there."

"It took us tremendous effort to retrieve the Hundred-armed Giant's arm."

"The issue is that this fellow is particularly restless."

"Its unique ability allows it to analyze the chains binding it, finding the weakest points."

"So we had to install surveillance equipment. If there are any damages to the chains, we replace them immediately."

Du Shukui said with some pride.

"Director Du, let me remind you of one thing."

"What if the Hundred-armed Giant's arm analyzed all the chain's weaknesses and snapped them at once?"

"You might as well find a way to petrify the Hundred-armed Giant, saving manpower and resources and increasing safety."

Upon hearing this, Du Shukui was momentarily speechless; he thought about it carefully and realized it made sense.

Then, Ye Bai approached another case, within which floated two undead, one black and one white.

Even through the glass, Ye Bai could feel the intense Yin Qi inside the case.

Inside was a large amount of greenish Ghost Fire, which looked quite sinister.

The black and white undead wore tall hats, with long red tongues sticking out.

One held a Mourning Staff, and the other a Soul-Calling Sticker.

"Black and White Impermanence, legendary underworld creatures."

The case was covered with Yellow Talismans; only then were the Black and White Impermanence trapped inside.

Nevertheless, Ye Bai could sense the surrounding Soul Fire of the Black and White Impermanence increasing.

This meant that Black and White Impermanence had the ability to absorb souls.

They were likely accumulating strength in secret, hoping to escape like the Hundred-armed Giant's arm.

This time, however, Ye Bai didn't intend to speak up; otherwise, people might think he's overstepping.

Doing less is better than doing more. In case something goes wrong later, they could blame you for not warning them.

Suddenly, the Black and White Impermanence were attracted by something, causing them to ignore the Yellow Talisman seals and frantically bang on the glass showcase, making loud thumping sounds.
