651: Thunder Silkworm Molting

The Thunder Silkworm was about the same size as the Han Quan (Cold Spring).

It was also the length of a finger, the thickness of a knuckle, and looked somewhat plump.

However, compared to the Han Quan (Cold Spring), the Thunder Silkworm's aura was clearly more powerful.

If the Han Quan (Cold Spring)'s strength was at the Middle Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, then after shedding its skin and Rebirth, its strength dropped to the Early Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm.

The Thunder Silkworm's aura was probably at the Late Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm.

"So why is this little thing stronger than you?"

"Is it because the Thunder Marsh is bigger than the Han Quan (Cold Spring)? Or is its Aptitude better than yours?"

The Han Quan (Cold Spring), held by Yang Dian at both ends of its body and bent into a bow shape, suddenly tensed and bounced off Yang Dian's fingers:

"It just had good luck. When it fell, it landed in this place. If I lived with it, I'd smash its head!"

Looking at the Han Quan (Cold Spring), which was unreasonable but full of Qi, Yang Dian pushed it towards the Thunder Silkworm:

"Look."

"It's right here."

"Smash him."

The little thing stared at Yang Dian with two eyes smaller than a needle tip, its gaze full of concern for the mentally challenged:

"Big guy, are you stupid?"

"Its head is so much bigger than mine, and I'm still soft. How can I smash it?"

"It's more like you should smash it."

After grumbling a few words, the little thing once again transformed into a blue Qi flow and attached itself to the Dudu tentacles.

Yang Dian reached out and flicked the blue tentacles, or rather, hair, twice, then refocused his attention on the Thunder Silkworm.

"This Thunder Silkworm..."

Perceiving the Thunder Silkworm, which was constantly radiating angry emotions, Yang Dian didn't know what it was so angry about.

Clearly, within a 10-kilometer radius around it, no other living creatures appeared.

After thinking for a while and not understanding, Yang Dian simply stopped thinking.

"After I make it shed its skin, will it become as silly as this little Han Quan (Cold Spring)?"

In his thoughts, Yang Dian remembered what the Han Quan (Cold Spring) had just said.

"It just had good luck. When it fell, it landed in this place."

"So, where did you guys fall from?"

Yang Dian grabbed the Han Quan (Cold Spring), squeezed its body, and continued to ask:

"Also, why do you know this information?"

"Didn't you shed your skin and undergo Rebirth?"

The Han Quan (Cold Spring) blinked twice:

"Oh, why do I know these things?"

It straightened up, formed a question mark shape in Yang Dian's palm, then jumped, and then fell heavily into Yang Dian's palm, flattening itself into a pancake:

"I don't know why I know these things."

"I just know!"

The Han Quan (Cold Spring) exuded an air of resignation, but Yang Dian seemed to understand.

It was probably something like Bloodline Legacy or Soul Legacy.

After shedding its skin, it would forget all its experiences, but as time passed, the Legacy existing within its Bloodline and Soul would slowly resurface in its mind.

"Then do you know where you fell from?"

The Han Quan (Cold Spring), which had been flattened into a pancake, reformed into the shape of a silkworm, then rolled around in Yang Dian's palm, its body becoming colorful:

"I fell from a colorful place."

"After falling into the pond, I couldn't get out until you appeared."

Saying that, it arched its body again and jumped towards Yang Dian's face:

"You smell good!"

Yang Dian reached out to stop the Han Quan (Cold Spring), grabbed it into his palm, rubbed it until it was 'damaged', then casually placed it on his shoulder, and then extended his finger to flick the Thunder Silkworm.

In the center of the Thunder Marsh, the Thunder Silkworm, blue-gold all over, first froze when it sensed Yang Dian's aura, and even the rampant lightning on its body, which was constantly raging, paused for a moment.

Then, before it could react, Yang Dian's bent index finger had already flicked its body.

"Boom~"

With a sound like a snapping bowstring, the Thunder Silkworm was directly flicked into a hard shell by Yang Dian.

A blink later, a gap appeared on the hard shell, and a slightly smaller Thunder Silkworm, its aura only remaining at the Middle Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, carrying a sky full of wind and thunder, pounced towards Yang Dian's finger.

In the sky, the expedition team, who had just put on their insulation gear, felt something was wrong as soon as they reached the core of the Thunder Marsh.

They subconsciously looked up, and the sky full of lightning came into their view.

"Holy crap!"

As the national essence rang out, the sky full of lightning struck down in response.

How could simple insulation gear block the lightning storm summoned by the Thunder Silkworm?

Outside the Thunder Marsh, Yang Lele, who was still manually making insulation gear, put her hands on her hips and became resolute when she saw the situation:

"See!"

She pointed at the thunderstorm in the core area of the Thunder Marsh and said righteously:

"It's a good thing I lingered outside the Thunder Marsh for a while just now, otherwise we would be the ones getting struck by lightning now."

Zero looked up, and blue light glowed in her goggles:

"The Commander is right."

"You've become more and more mischievous since you reached the Late Stage of the Transcendent Realm."

"According to the Commander's instructions, if you repeatedly fail to correct yourself and continue to be stubborn, the amount of cultural class homework will be tripled after this expedition to Tiannan Star ends."

Yang Lele, who had just tried to save face, immediately slumped her shoulders like a quail:

"I was wrong, don't make me memorize books and do homework!"

The blue light on Zero's goggles flickered:

"The Commander also said that if you admit your mistakes decisively, it means you definitely don't think you're wrong in your heart; you're just doing superficial work."

"The amount of homework will increase from three times to five times."

Yang Lele tilted her head and looked at Zero, then pushed off with her legs and sat down on the ground:

"So much homework, it's better to just kill me."

Pei Sisi walked to Yang Lele's side and poked Yang Lele's waist with her finger:

"Lele, the Commander is also doing this for your own good."

"Have you noticed that ever since your strength increased, you've really become a bit overconfident?"

"Before your strength increased, when you encountered a special environment like the Thunder Marsh, you would definitely carefully inspect it to ensure safety, and only then would you enter to explore after leaving a fallback plan."

"Just like when you were adventuring in the Wuhou Grotto-heaven."

"But this time?"

"You rashly entered the Thunder Marsh, not only without arranging a fallback plan, but you didn't even fully read the information."

"Cultural class homework is not just homework; doing the questions seriously also has the effect of calming the mind and settling the Qi."

"The Commander increasing your homework is also for your own good, hoping to help you change your rough and careless habits."

Yang Lele lowered her head, thought carefully for a moment, then nodded:

"What you said seems to make sense."

"Alright, this time..."

Speaking of which, she paused again, then said seriously:

"From now on, I will definitely get rid of all those bad habits from before."

Saying that, she hugged Pei Sisi:

"Sisi, if there's anything I do wrong, you must point it out, otherwise I'll be lectured by my brother again next time!"

At the core of the Thunder Marsh.

Yang Dian couldn't help but smile when he received real-time information from Zero.

"Not bad, at least she knows her mistakes and can correct them."

Nodding to acknowledge Yang Lele's attitude of knowing her mistakes and being able to correct them, Yang Dian once again bent his finger and flicked the Thunder Silkworm that had already pounced to his fingertip.

"Thump~"

With a thud, the Thunder Silkworm, which had originally resembled a silkworm, instantly turned into a stone and fell to the ground.

Two seconds later, a plump golden silkworm pushed open the stony cocoon, its needle-tip-sized eyes filled with purity, and crawled out of the cocoon.

"Its strength has dropped to the Early Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, and its Soul has become incomparably pure."

"It seems that anyone could forcibly sign a contract with it at this time?"

As soon as Yang Dian finished speaking, a dense electric light spread from the Thunder Silkworm, which had just crawled out of its cocoon, and disappeared in an instant.
