Chapter 270 - Brain Eaters
Chapter 270: Brain Eaters
The members of the 10th Team quickly found these people.
With the failure of the Gold-tier Beast Master’s sneak attack earlier, they no longer had the courage to attack Lugh and the others.
A beast Master asked, “Major, what should we do with these people?”
Lugh heard the commotion outside and glanced outside. The city guards from the Eastern District seemed to have arrived.
However, they stood outside and didn’t come in.
“Other than that one,” Lugh said as he pointed at the honest Beast Master. “Kill the others. Don’t cause trouble for the city guards.”
The 10th member said to the member, “Major, why don’t you feed them to your Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly? Your Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly seems to like drinking human brain matter.”
“Forget it.”
Lugh immediately rejected the idea.
He wasn’t that perverted to feed the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly human brain matter.
At this moment, Lugh seemed to have thought of a problem.
But before he could ask, the twenty or so Beast Masters of the wolf gang immediately summoned their pet beasts.
Hearing that they were going to be executed, the Beast Masters who had been forced into a desperate situation decided to give it their all.
Just as they were about to make their move, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, which had been floating quietly in the air, made its move.
Spiritual Storm.
In an instant, the Beast Masters who were Gold-tier and below, their pets fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The three Gold-tier Beast Masters held their heads in their hands and fell to the ground in pain.
Their Gold-tier pets weren’t in much better condition either, rolling on the ground in pain.
The Beast Masters of the 10th Team were just about to go up and kill these surviving Beast Masters and pets when they discovered that they were standing up shakily again.
A Gold-tier Beast Master took out a short sword and stabbed it into his chest.
The other two Beast Masters grabbed each other’s necks and died at the same time.
Those Gold-tier pets also ended up in a miserable state.
Lugh only heard the sound of the system notifications continuously, as if he was receiving experience points.
The Gold-tier Beast Masters of the 10th Team looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly behind Lugh, not knowing what to say
“Then that’s it.”
Lugh felt that the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly seemed to be addicted to snatching experience points.
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly might not have heard the system notifications, but after being nurtured by Lugh for a long time and enjoying the support of the pet cultivation system, it might very well have discovered the fact that it could continuously become stronger through killing.
Spirit-type Fierce Beasts were born with high intelligence.
Lugh was also clear about the personality of this Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly. It loved to lurk in the dark and sneak up on people.
Most of its opponents did not know how they died.
“You guys, who said it?”
Lugh looked at Joseph and the others.
They gritted their teeth and looked somewhat tough.
It was also possible that they felt that they were going to die anyway, and didn’t want Lugh to succeed.
Lugh emphasized, “I only need one person to lead the way.”
Standing behind Lugh was the Beast Master who had exposed them.
“I said, I know where those children are hiding!”
“Sir, if we knew that the child was a relative of your Emergency Response Team, we definitely wouldn’t have taken action.”
…
Joseph and the others all stood up, fighting to bring Lugh and the others over.
“You, wrong answer,” Lugh said, pointing at the Beast Master who stood up at the end.
“What do you mean by saying that if we knew that the other party was a relative of our Emergency Response Team, you wouldn’t have made a move? So you can make a move on the relatives of the others?”
Lugh stretched out his hand, and the Beast Master retreated in fear.
The Beast Master opened his mouth and was about to say something when he fell to the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices and losing all signs of life.
Lugh’s hand was still in mid-air.
Retracting his hand, he stroked his chin, his expression calm.
It was as if he had wanted to touch his chin just now.
Bringing up the unconscious Gold-tier Beast Master, Lugh pointed at the two Beast Masters who knew the inside story and said, “You two stood out at the same time. Consider yourselves lucky. Bring us there together.”
“Thank you, Sir, for not killing us.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Thank you, Sir.”
Lugh said coldly, “Don’t say thank you. Find her for me first.”
The two of them said hurriedly, “We’ll definitely find him. We’ll definitely find him.”
The group walked out of the casino’s entrance. Lugh saw the city guards of the Eastern District and went to meet with their leader.
“Hello, Major.”
A Captain rushed over from the Eastern District. When he saw Lugh, he hurriedly bowed.
“Have you all cleared up the matter?”
“We’ve cleared it up.”
The Beast Master leading the Northern District had already explained everything clearly.
“Mhm!”
Lugh nodded. “There are a lot of corpses inside. I’ll have to trouble you guys.”
After saying that, Lugh took his men and left.
The people the Wolf Slayer Gang kidnapped were all hidden in the Eastern District. After all, this was their headquarters.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the group entered a factory.
The security guards in the factory were all ordinary workers.
The Wolf Slayer Gang led Lugh and the others into a remote warehouse. Two Gold-tier Beast Masters immediately walked out of the warehouse.
“Who are they?”
As soon as they spoke, they were completely controlled by the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.
Soon after, seven Beast Masters slowly walked out of the warehouse.
Their eyes were practically lifeless.
Lugh instinctively sensed that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
It was enough to watch over a few abducted children and a few ordinary adult men.
There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Nine Beast Masters were taking care of them personally, including two Gold-tier Beast Masters.
This lineup was way too luxurious.
Lugh didn’t believe that an old fox like Walker wouldn’t know what it meant to save money.
He sniffed and smelled a familiar scent on a Bronze-tier Beast Master.
It was here.
That was right.
“Why did you abduct and sell those children?”
Lugh turned around and looked at the two Wolf Slayer Gang members who knew the inside story.
The nine Beast Masters in charge of guarding the warehouse of the Wolf Slayer Gang could casually entered Hepeng Valley and kill a few Fierce Beasts. The benefits they obtained were far greater than abducting and selling children.
It was very likely that there was a big problem hidden in this warehouse.
“This…”
The two of them hesitated.
“Speak,” Lugh said. “If you don’t want to talk, I’ll go in and take a look.”
They glanced at Walker, who was still in control, and finally asked, “It’s Boss! It’s Boss who wants us to nurture Brain Eaters!”
Brain Eaters?
Lugh’s face instantly turned ashen.
Even some of the Beast Masters behind him who knew about Brain Eaters had ugly expressions on their faces.
The Brain Eater worm was a Blue Jade Butterfly larva. It was an extremely rare Gold-tier spirit-type Fierce Beast with growth potential.
After the pregnant female Blue Jade Butterfly Fierce Beast woke up, it injected its egg into the Fierce Beast’s brain. The Fierce Beast injected with the Blue Jade Butterfly egg wouldn’t feel any discomfort at all.
The Blue Jade Butterfly egg would hatch in the Fierce Beast’s brain, secreting paralyzing venom and transferring it to the center of the Fierce Beast’s brain. It would gnaw on the Fierce Beast’s brain while replacing its nerve center, gradually controlling the Fierce Beast and turning it into a real puppet.
Moreover, it would use the puppet as a springboard to parasitize the next beast’s brain.
Generally speaking, a Brain Eater would change into three hosts.
After parasitizing three hosts, it would be able to transfer out of the host’s body and turn into a silkworm chrysalis.
It would wait for the day it broke out of its cocoon and became a butterfly.
Generally speaking, the higher the growth potential of the three hosts that the Brain Eater had experienced, the stronger its spirit talent would be after it transformed into the Blue Jade Butterfly.
Therefore, the Blue Jade Butterfly, which lived naturally, would usually try its best to stuff its eggs into the brain of a Gold-level Fierce Beast with growth potential.
More than two hundred years ago, human scientists had noticed that during the process of parasitizing, the Brain Eater would not devour the core of the Fierce Beast. Its body was still fragile.
Then, what was influencing the Blue Jade Butterfly’s talent in the dark?
What was the difference between the brain of a beast with Gold-level growth potential and that of a Silver-level beast with growth potential?
Very soon, some scientists targeted intelligence.
They first tried to let Brain Eaters parasitize spirit-type pet beasts, and found that the Blue Jade Butterfly that they cultivated was very strong. It was a level higher than the Blue Jade Butterfly that parasitized beasts with similar growth potential.
Then, the experiment began to develop in a cruel direction.
Some laboratories began to use death row prisoners as human experiments.
They were surprised to find that if the three host humans that the Brain Eater had experienced during its growth period had transformed into Blue Jade Butterflies, their spirit-type talent would be even stronger than the spirit-type Fierce Beasts that had the growth potential of Gold-level.
