48: Double-pupiled black cat
End of November!
Calculating the time, Chen Fei had stayed in the Baiyue Mountain Range for another month.
Now, Chen Fei's strength was that of a Level 2 Advanced Beastmaster, while Little Gu and Chi Yu were both Level 3 Rank 2.
This time, they didn't use any slaughter value, relying purely on actual combat and the absorption of Spirit Stones to improve.
[Current slaughter value balance: 354,000!]
It looked like a lot, but it actually wasn't enough at all.
Once reaching High-level Beastmaster, each rank up required 50,000 slaughter value, which was truly quite a lot.
After considering it, Chen Fei still planned to Cultivate slowly using Spirit Stones.
He would put this slaughter value toward more useful areas.
For example, upgrading Little Gu's Aptitude from A-grade to S-grade would definitely allow Little Gu to reach another level.
[Heavenly Crystal Bloodline] 5,000 contribution points.
He still had 3,200 contribution points on hand; he should be able to get the rest from Chen Qingyun.
If that didn't work, he would spend Spirit Stones to buy them.
As for the slaughter value, it was just a matter of saving up for a few more days; it would be quick.
"The fish is ready!" Chen Fei shouted.
This shout was not only for Chi Yu and Little Gu but also for the black cat not far away.
After more than a month of temptation, both sides had grown accustomed to each other's presence.
Whenever Chen Fei entered the Baiyue Mountain Range, the black cat would follow nearby.
After Chen Fei finished grilling the fish, he would also throw one or two out.
Over time, the black cat stopped hiding and would instead crouch on a tree not far from Chen Fei, gnawing on grilled fish.
[Double-Pupiled Black Cat (Mutant)
Strength: Level 3 Rank 1
Attributes: Replication Type, Assassin Class
Aptitude: S
Potential: Expected to promote to SSS-grade Aptitude.
Unique Skill:
Mirror of Replication: For those whose strength exceeds its own by 9 ranks or less, as long as it touches the opponent's physical body, there is a chance to replicate a skill.
Proficiency: Mastery Level.
(Note: Each Yao Beast can only have one skill replicated.
Due to strength limitations, it can currently only replicate 6 skills.
Furthermore, there is a certain success rate; the higher the level of the skill, the lower the Replication success rate.
Improvements in strength, Aptitude, and skill proficiency can all increase the Replication success rate.)
Replicated Skills:
1. Shadow Stealth: Can merge oneself into shadows to achieve stealth, sneak attacks, and other purposes.

2. Fire Control: Can condense flames into any form and then control them remotely.
Proficiency: proficient level.
3. Earth Escape Technique: ... Note: If the replicated skill is switched, the skill proficiency will restart from Entry-Level!]
Seeing the information for the Double-Pupiled Black Cat, Chen Fei finally understood why it could possess so many attribute skills.
It turned out they were all replicated!
In Truth, the Double-Pupiled Black Cat only has one skill: [Mirror of Replication].
But don't underestimate this skill; if used well, it is simply a divine skill.
As long as the success rate is high enough, it can replicate skills of any attribute.
Whether it's elemental skills, eerie-type skills, or even invincible skills like time and space, they can all potentially be replicated.
The Dual-Pupiled Person is truly a darling of heaven and earth; this is simply a dream divine skill, and its growth value is too high.
"How about following me? I'll make sure you live the good life from now on!"
Chen Fei used his consciousness to convey his words.
This was the first time Chen Fei had communicated directly with the Double-Pupiled Black Cat, and he was terrified of scaring it away.
The Double-Pupiled Black Cat just glanced at Chen Fei, said nothing, then lay down and began to sleep soundly.
Chen Fei was helpless and could only eat his grilled fish in silence.
However, he wasn't in a hurry; as long as the Double-Pupiled Black Cat continued to follow him, he would still have a chance.
"Chen Fei!" Little Gu suddenly called out to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei looked over, "What's wrong?"
"Gu Qi has successfully controlled that Earth-Splitting Demon Worm!"
"Holy crap, awesome!"
Little Gu's words made Chen Fei immediately throw away the grilled fish; at this moment, nothing he ate would taste good.
"Quick, share the vision!"
As the vision was shared, they appeared inside a giant basin.
This basin was exactly the inner region of the Baiyue Mountain Range.
Due to the low terrain, it was misty even without the eerie invasion.
It was relatively humid here, and even sunlight could hardly penetrate; many Level 4 and Level 5 Yao Beasts lived in this environment.
This Earth-Splitting Demon Worm hadn't entered the center of the inner region, only the edge; according to Little Gu's estimated position, it should be in Sector A16.
In front of it, many eerie existences were standing.
Besides the Fallen Three-Headed Monster, there was also a humanoid monster with a red lantern on its head.
A humanoid monster with a goat's head, holding a giant scythe.
And a leopard with six heads... Among these, the Fallen Three-Headed Monster was actually the weakest; the others all had the strength of Level 4 Yao Generals.
Most terrifyingly, they likely possessed unpredictable skills and attributes just like the Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
If they were to attack the city all at once, Xing Shaoshan and the others wouldn't be able to hold out at all.
Without hesitation, Chen Fei directly dialed Chen Qingyun's number: "Dad, I have an urgent matter. Quickly gather Minister Cheng Jingjing, Minister Xie, and the others.
This matter is even more serious than the Chu Chongsheng incident!"
More serious than the Chu Chongsheng incident?
Chen Qingyun didn't dare to delay and immediately invited the various ministers.
"Chen Fei, everyone is here. Go ahead!"
"Okay, now I will have the Gu insect in Minister Chen's hand share the vision with everyone."
As Chen Fei's voice fell, the figures of the Fallen Three-Headed Monster and other beasts appeared before everyone.
There were exactly 10 of them, each with an incredibly powerful aura that made it hard for the group to breathe.
Cheng Jingjing said in a heavy voice, "It seems that what Chu Chongsheng described that day was all true."
Xie Xun's attention was all on that Earth-Splitting Demon Worm King.
Its size was at least seventy or eighty meters long, far more exaggerated than what Xu Kui and Wang Zhi's team had reported.
Xing Shaoshan's face twitched a few times, and a rare expression of anger appeared on his face: "That goat monster holding the scythe is exactly the fellow who took my left eye.
It can manipulate human hearts and Souls, making me turn against myself.
If the Nine-Turn Crystal Snake hadn't brought me back through the void, I would probably be dead by now."
Everyone's expression was quite ugly; this was just the tip of the iceberg of the inner region, and it was already so terrifying.
How terrifying would their king be?
When they wanted to continue observing, the Earth-Splitting Demon Worm had already burrowed underground into total darkness.
Chen Fei's voice came again: "Ministers, following Chu Chongsheng's description, I had my beast pet go deep into Sector A16, and this is what I saw.
Also, regarding the three-headed monster Brother Xu Kui encountered, I looked into it.
It should be the extremely rare [Lifeform Stitching] skill.
It can forcibly stitch multiple Yao Beasts together, forcibly increasing their Aptitude and giving them two or three times more Spiritual Qi than before.
The price is a shorter lifespan and a relatively weak Soul!"
Chen Fei didn't continue; this information was enough. His purpose was simply to make the ministers and his parents more vigilant.
To not follow the same path as in his past life...
