Ah! What on earth is happening here?
Originally, the chubby Strong Iron Armor Ants and the green Summergrass Ants have all pupated.
Could this be an uncontrollable phenomenon?
The Strong Iron Armor Ants’ bodies have turned into a shiny black sheen, resembling black stones.
The Summergrass Ants, however, have burst forth with a large amount of white mold, encasing them into a white cocoon.
But the red mushroom on their backs has grown even larger.
Lan Fa was stupefied; this topic was beyond his syllabus, beyond the scope of his thoughts.
Obviously, ant-type Exotic Beasts don’t undergo pupation, so where exactly did things go wrong?
Before Lan Fa could fully figure it out, a crisp cracking sound came from the pupated shell.
Upon closer inspection, Lan Fa noticed a crack on the back of the pupated shell.
With a series of cracking sounds, the crack widened, and a sharp claw emerged from it.
This wet Exotic Beast struggled to break free from the shell, slowly crawling away, leaving trails of watermarks.
Its wings were tightly glued to its back. Latest content publıshed on NoveI~Fire.net
As time progressed, the mucus on its body gradually dried up, and a pair of translucent, cicada-like wings slowly unfolded.
At this time, a ripple appeared in the space near the lab bench.
The black and white Space Pelican appeared, bringing Ye Bai with it.
Lan Fa was quite surprised by Ye Bai’s appearance.
It turned out that this was a warning sent by a Paperman left by Ye Bai, notifying him of the uncontrollable phenomenon in the lab.
The Paper Puppet directly awoke Ye Bai, who arrived at the lab through Spatial Transfer.
"Ye Bai, what is this phenomenon?"
"Why have these Strong Iron Armor Ants changed into this form, sprouting wings out of nowhere?"
Curiously, Lan Fa asked upon seeing Ye Bai.
"This is the metamorphosis phenomenon of ants, and it’s actually a good thing."
"Metamorphosis means they are not far from maturity."
"When the wings of the flying ants fall off, it’s when the reproductive organs of the Strong Iron Armor Ants mature."
Ye Bai was pleasantly surprised as the Pet Beast Cultivation period shortened.
As long as one Strong Iron Armor Ant evolves into a queen ant, Ye Bai’s experiment won’t be far from success.
Queen Ant = Endless supply of soldiers.
Contract Queen Ant = Control over the endless supply of soldiers.
Of course, Ye Bai’s Contract Position is reserved for more significant Pet Beasts.
Once the Strong Iron Armor Queen emerges, it signifies the birth of a colony is imminent.
On the other side, the Summergrass Ants remain motionless on the ground.
Their bodies are covered with vast amounts of white fungi, forming thick white cocoons.
Spore cells are further infecting the entire bodies of the Summergrass Ants.
Their minds are completely controlled by the spores.
Ye Bai observed the mushroom on their backs growing larger, resembling a red parasol shielding the Summergrass Ants.
This indicates that this creature is also undergoing further transformation.
"Lan Fa, lately keep a close eye on the status of the Summergrass Ants. Report any slight changes to me."
Ye Bai earnestly instructed Lan Fa.
"Understood, Ye Bai. So, how should we handle these transformed Strong Iron Armor Ants?"
Although the evolved Strong Iron Armor Ants still retained their name, they now had an added flight mode suffix in Ye Bai’s eyes.
"Ye Bai, what should we do next?"
After all, this was a project led by Ye Bai, so Lan Fa needed to understand Ye Bai’s intentions.
The transformed Strong Iron Armor Ants had a metallic sheen, and their cicada-like wings swept across the transparent display case.
With a clanging sound, the display case was split in two, and the metamorphosed Strong Iron Armor Ant flew into the air.
"These guys evolved and wanted to escape."
"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, use Thunderlight Butterfly Clone."
In the face of these Tier Three fellows, summoning Big Gray could also be a solution, but there was concern about Big Gray’s lack of restraint.
After all, Big Gray wielding Mjolnir had the strength to face Peak of Tier Six Pet Beasts.
Defeating a Tier Three Strong Iron Armor Ant was akin to swatting a mosquito.
The body of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm surged with Thunder Light.
In the air, the Thunder Light formed a butterfly-like Exotic Beast that shimmered with electricity.
This was the Thunderlight Butterfly.
Its wings transformed the Thunder Light into fine needles of electricity, launching them at the Strong Iron Armor Ants.
The lightning needles penetrated the bodies of the Strong Iron Armor Ants.
Subsequently, golden yellow Thunder Lights spread across the Strong Iron Armor Ants’ bodies.
They all trembled with electricity, their bodies emitting metallic sounds.
The Strong Iron Armor Ants emitted white smoke, collapsing to the ground.
"Whoa, Ye Bai, your strength is becoming more impressive. What kind of Pet Beast is that butterfly radiating Thunder Light?"
"Can the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm also produce such clones?"
Lan Fa increasingly felt that this unimposing Ye Bai was secretly powerful. If he joined the Phoenix Cup, he might even become the champion.
It’s possible the Blood Saint was eliminated by Ye Bai, but Lan Fa kept this secret deep in his heart, not daring to reveal it.
After all, this concerned a significant power faction.
The metamorphosed Strong Iron Armor Ants, with their massive pincers like giant scissors, were clad in black shiny armor.
Their appearance resembled an unsheathed long blade, with wings as thin as a cicada’s, emitting a chilling light like a sharp Nine-Ring Saber.
