5: Go to the front line
"Isn't this a C-grade Thousand Poison Gu!"
"Such a trash Yao Beast, sigh!"
In Chen Qingyun's view, C-grade Aptitude was still too low and would only hinder Chen Fei's Cultivation speed.
Unfortunately, once a contract was made, it was irreversible. Otherwise, Chen Qingyun truly wished Chen Fei could switch to a Yao Beast with A-grade Aptitude or higher.
Little Gu, lying on Chen Fei's palm, bared its fangs.
Is this polite? I ask you, is this polite?
C-grade Yao Beasts don't deserve to exist, right!
But Chen Fei shook his head, "Dad, take a closer look!"
At Chen Fei's words, Chen Qingyun moved closer and noticed that Little Gu seemed a bit larger than other Thousand Poison Gu, and surprisingly had some armor on its body. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"No, no, this isn't a Thousand Poison Gu, but a B-grade Myriad Poison Gu, hundreds of times rarer than the Thousand Poison Gu!"
"It's actually B-grade!" Xia Zhixue was also surprised.
A B-grade Myriad Poison Gu was almost one in ten thousand. With good future nurturing, reaching A-grade wouldn't be a problem.
And an A-grade Yao Beast was much more acceptable.
This made both Chen Qingyun and Xia Zhixue feel much better.
What they didn't know was that Little Gu already possessed one proficient-level skill and one skilled-level skill, otherwise they would have been even more surprised... The next day!
After learning that Jiang Yiyi and Chen Fei were in the same room yesterday, Bai Yang also began to notice this person.
"Go investigate Chen Fei's background, and don't let him get close to Jiang Yiyi again!"
Many people followed Bai Yang, all drawn by the King-level expert behind him.
Bai Yang only needed to give an order, and many people would work for him... Chen Fei, after leaving school, had no idea that he was already being targeted by many.
At this moment, he had already left Tianqing City and was on his way to the front line.
If not in a hurry, one could take a vehicle; some in a rush would take flying Yao Beasts, which were extremely fast.
Along the way, Chen Fei held several books tightly:
"Analysis of Myriad Poison Gu Skills"
"Possible Evolution Paths of Myriad Poison Gu"
"A Well-Used Myriad Poison Gu Will Be a Nightmare"
...These dozen or so books on the vehicle were all about Little Gu's growth direction and learnable skills.
Among them were some things that greatly moved Chen Fei.
For example, the skill [Kiss of Venom].
Little Gu could utilize its characteristic of absorbing poisons, then accumulate them to form stronger poisons.
The more types of poisons, the stronger the toxins formed.
Then, it would use different attack methods such as venom spray, poison mist, and poison stingers to cause single-target or area damage, making it impossible to guard against.
Poison itself was a great weapon of mass destruction.
It leaned more towards a hidden, sudden, and unpreventable assassination style.
If used well, it was not necessarily weaker than explosive fire element attacks or frantic lightning element attacks.
There was also the Parasitism skill that Little Gu had already learned.
After advancing to the skilled level, Little Gu could use egg Parasitism. Currently, each use could only split into two eggs.
The eggs would hatch into Small Ten Thousand Venom Gu, several ranks weaker than the mother Gu, to Parasitism enemies, thus avoiding Little Gu's main body from taking risks.
Then, a portion of the absorbed Spiritual Qi, poisonous Qi, etc., would be fed back to the mother Gu.
The higher the skill proficiency, the stronger the power, the more eggs, and the closer the hatched Myriad Poison Gu's strength would be to the mother Gu.
And the mother Gu could transmit the insights gained from advancement to its offspring at any time, allowing them to further improve their skill proficiency.
Once their strength was sufficient, it would be an army of Myriad Poison Gu; just thinking about it was exciting!
There was also the Devour skill!
Currently, it could only absorb Spiritual Qi and poisonous Qi. As its proficiency increased, it could absorb more and more things.
For example, blood!
What kind of terrifying experience would it be to completely drain the blood from a Yao Beast or a human body within one minute?
Not only that!
The Myriad Poison Gu was both a Yao Beast and a Gu worm.
Gu worms had a characteristic: after Parasitism, they could control the target under certain conditions.
As long as the Myriad Poison Gu learned the Entry-Level Corpse Control skill, there would be a certain chance of success.
The higher the skill proficiency, the higher the success rate... There were also countless other bizarre and wonderful tricks that greatly broadened Chen Fei's horizons.
It was seeing these things that made Chen Fei understand why the Myriad Poison Gu's potential was so high.
It took Chen Fei a whole day to finalize the future development direction of the Myriad Poison Gu.
[Kiss of Venom] and [Corpse Control] were must-learns!
[Parasitism] and [Devour] were priorities for proficiency improvement.
The Assassin Class's [Stealth] and [Conceal Aura] were also indispensable.
Just as Chen Fei was about to let his brain rest, the vehicle suddenly stopped.
"Uncle Deng, what's wrong?" Chen Fei pushed open the car door and got out.
"Do you see that magnificent city wall? That's the front line.
It was rapidly constructed by hundreds of Tier 4 Yao Beasts and two Tier 5 Yao Kings, working together using earth-element skills.
Baiyue City, behind the city wall, is where the army is stationed.
However, there are a few Tier 1 and 2 Yao Beasts that escaped ahead; we'll clean them up along the way."
The speaker was Chen Qingyun's assistant, Deng Ying.
This time, Chen Qingyun and Xia Zhixue were transferred from the front line to the human rear for urgent matters, so they had Deng Ying escort them for a while.
Deng Ying summoned his main pet, the Phantom Crystal Mantis, Tier 3 Rank 9, just a hair's breadth away from Tier 4.
The Phantom Crystal Mantis was covered in white crystal armor, which was extremely hard, making it difficult for Yao Beasts of the same level to break its defense.
Most terrifyingly, the Phantom Crystal Mantis's speed was incredibly fast, making it a true weapon of mass destruction.
Its weakness was its relatively weak attack power and somewhat singular attack methods, thus it could only be rated as A-grade Aptitude.
The surrounding Yao Beasts, upon seeing the Phantom Crystal Mantis, charged forward fearlessly.
This was how Yao Beasts were after being invaded by the bizarre; they charged fearlessly.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would have long since fled.
The Phantom Crystal Mantis swung horizontally, slicing a Tier 2 Blood Claw Spider in half.
Deng Ying, however, spoke at this moment: "Xiao Fei, don't underestimate Yao Beasts that have been invaded by the bizarre, even if they are already dead."
The very next second after Deng Ying finished speaking, a black, slimy, slug-like mass, about the size of a fist, suddenly surged out from the Blood Claw Spider's internal organs.
It then jumped out, attempting to find an opening to burrow into the Phantom Crystal Mantis's body, and subsequently control it.
"This thing is what we call Black Slime Worm, a product of the bizarre invasion. It can burrow into Yao Beasts or humans through their mouths, noses, eyes, ears, etc., and then control them.
Don't underestimate this Tier 1 Black Slime Worm; it can control Tier 2 Yao Beasts, which is terrifying.
Normal physical attacks are useless against it; even if cut in half, both halves remain alive, possessing extremely strong vitality."
Before the Black Slime Worm could even get close to the Phantom Crystal Mantis, it was swatted away.
When dealing with Black Slime Worms, swatting them away was more effective than cutting them.
Then, the Phantom Crystal Mantis used its Crystal Pillar skill to firmly lock the Black Slime Worm within a crystal.
When the Crystal Pillar was shattered by the Phantom Crystal Mantis, the Black Slime Worm also disintegrated into sparkling crystal dust, finally dying completely.
"These are experiences accumulated with human lives, so Xiao Fei, you must be especially, especially careful on the front line!"
Chen Fei nodded gravely: "Understood, Uncle Deng!"
He was not grave about the Black Slime Worm; these were just early-stage Bizarre Creatures, and Chen Fei knew how to deal with them.
But those that would appear later would only be more terrifying and more troublesome.
Even if you knew their weakness, you might not be able to kill them... "Uncle Deng, leave two half-crippled ones for me to try!"
