Chapter 13: Worm? Snake! I, Wang Ye, Also Have the Bearings of an Emperor?

“This is a pet?” Wang Ye looked at the little thing.

If one called it a worm, it didn’t look like one.

But if one said it was not a worm, it somehow looked like one.

“What do you want?” Wang Ye looked at it and his heart ached for the treasures that he had obtained.

That fruit and the leaf were definitely treasures worth millions of dollars, and they had been eaten just like that.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu immediately flew down and looked at the “worm” warily. It chirped twice as if to say “go away”.

The white silkworm wrapped itself around Wang Ye’s arm and crawled up. Then, it sneakily…

“You want to eat my Sacred Flame Nether Lotus? I’m afraid that won’t be happening! This is a treasure worth millions in the future!” Wang Ye immediately put the flower back into his backpack. Looking at the little white silkworm, he vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere before.

“What kind of pet is this?” Wang Ye frowned slightly.

His talent was Deep Memory, so if he had an impression of it, it meant that he must have seen this pet before.

And it was probably when he was very young.

It was just that he had not cultivated his talent very much, so he could not be sure when he had seen it.

Seeing that the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus had been put away, the white silkworm floated in the air. It closed its eyes and stayed still as if it had lost its dream.

“Sigh, I’ve spent so many treasures just to get a worm,” Wang Ye sighed. “However, since it can eat so many treasures, it should be no ordinary pet, right? I can’t seem to afford to have two pets. Hmm, but with the Pet Simulator, it should be okay.”

The white silkworm didn’t seem to be very smart, and it only seemed to know how to eat.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ye spread his hands, “Come on, come on. After all, I spent so much just for you.”

“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Jiu immediately cried out in disagreement.

“What do you have to disagree with?” Wang Ye glared at it unhappily, “I’ve found a sparring partner for you, isn’t that good? Don’t you want to bully the insect?”

“Chirp?” Xiao Jiu tilted its head and thought about it.

Eh, it seems not bad.

It can’t beat the green little insect, but it should be able to beat this white silkworm, right?

Wang Ye took a petal of the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus and put it by the white silkworm’s mouth.

As if it smelled the fragrance, the white silkworm immediately opened its eyes and bit at the petal. Wang Ye slowly moved his arm back and let the worm and the petal fall into his backpack.

With a plop, the white silkworm fell into the backpack and Wang Ye closed the zipper.

“It’s about time to leave. I’ve investigated the situation of the Baisen Secret Realm quite clearly too.”

Wang Ye had a feeling that the white silkworm was not simple.

It probably had a great background and was perhaps very important.

For now, it was better to just abduct it first.

Whether he could afford to raise it or not was another matter.

“Let’s go back!”

—

Outside, it was already dawn.

“So, he disappeared inside?” Tang Xiong stood in front of the Baisen Secret Realm, his face as black as a piece of charcoal.

“Captain Tang… I…” Xu Hu’s eyes were bloodshot. His clothes were tattered, and he seemed to be covered in injuries.

Last night, he had entered the secret realm alone and had searched for Wang Ye for a long time while doing his best to endure the strange sound. But in the end, he could not hold on any longer.

After that, he brought Cheng Zhi back to Anping Couty and reported to Tang Xiong.

Being back here at the entrance of the secret realm again, all he could do was sigh.

“I didn’t expect that this miniature secret realm would actually have a low-level strange god,” Xu Hu’s face was filled with shame as he said, “Other than that, if Wang Ye hadn’t asked more questions and raised my vigilance, Cheng Zhi and I might have died inside.”

Tang Xiong’s expression was grim.

“Captain Tang, a rookie beastmaster will definitely die in the Baisen Secret Realm,” The few investigators next to Tang Xiong said in a deep voice, “Not to mention that he’s lost control. There’s a high chance that he’s become the song demon’s food now. We can’t blame Xu Hu for this. We can only say that the child…”

“Sigh… It’s my fault,” Tang Xiong closed his eyes, his face filled with regret, “I shouldn’t have let him go into a secret realm so quickly.”

“The key now is to figure out the reason for the appearance of the Baisen Secret Realm. At the same time, the other question is why would a low-level strange god appear in this miniature secret realm? Could it mean that the dark fog is about to appear?” A senior investigator was filled with worry.

While the few of them were discussing, they suddenly saw a ripple appear in the secret realm that was covered by a white glow.

“Be careful, it seems like something is about to come out!” An extremely vigilant investigator immediately noticed it.

In an instant, a fire dragon that was several meters tall appeared in front of him. It flapped its wings as it stared ahead.

“No, it seems to be a person…”

While they were in a daze, they saw a young man yawning lazily as he walked out.

There was a green sparrow perched on his shoulder that was pouring spirit tassel rice into its mouth.

“Wang Ye?” Xu Hu rubbed his eyes, and his body trembled as he said, “Captain Tang, am I hallucinating? This isn’t even the seventh day since his death. Could this kid have reincarnated?”

Wang Ye was speechless.

Tang Xiong frowned and looked him up and down.

Wang Ye looked a little weak, but he was still real.

“Wang Ye, you didn’t die?” Tang Xiong walked over.

“Uh…” Wang Ye thought for a moment and smiled weakly, “Ahem, I didn’t die. I encountered a fortuitous encounter in there and barely survived. By the way, I’ve roughly investigated the situation in the Baisen Secret Realm.”

“A fortuitous encounter?” Tang Xiong’s eyes lit up, “Tell me about it?”

Wang Ye then said the words that he had prepared beforehand.

His version of the line of events went like this: After entering the Baisen Secret Realm, he had found a Sacred Flame Nether Lotus, which had allowed him to break free from the control of the song demon’s sounds.

Then, he saw a huge white silkworm and a low-level strange god fighting each other. When both sides were injured, he had Xiao Jiu kill the song demon that was only left with a breath.

In the end, the white silkworm lost its strength and turned into a small white silkworm.

The reason for the appearance of the secret realm should have something to do with this.

The story was half true and half made up. It could be said that there were no holes in it because no one knew what happened in the secret realm.

Then, Wang Ye took out the strange core left behind by the song demon as well as the white silkworm, which was sleeping after having its fill.

Tang Xiong and the other investigators, who had been skeptical, immediately erased their doubt when they saw the strange core.

Wang Ye didn’t want to expose his strength too much right now because according to the simulation, something big was about to happen in Anping County.

Why would there be the dark fog in Anping County?

There was only one possibility — there was a big problem in Anping County!

He had an uneasy feeling, so he didn’t want to reveal his strength at the moment.

“Kid, you’re quite lucky!” Tang Xiong praised, “Cautious, bold, and lucky. Not bad, not bad, you’re suited to be an investigator! The most important thing for an investigator is not strength, but luck. We investigators are the first to enter the secret realms, so no one knows what will happen inside. Sometimes, luck is more important than strength! Good, good, good! Though this is not a white silkworm, it’s a baby snake-type pet.”

“What? This is a snake??” Wang Ye was stunned.

“That’s right. What you are seeing now is just what it looks like before it sheds its skin. It’s a relatively rare Transcendent class pet. It was called a hornless dragon in the past, but now it’s called the hornless white python. It has the dragon bloodline, and one of its evolutionary routes is to become the hornless shadow dragon, which can reach the Overlord first-class, and has the tyrannical dragon bloodline as well as the mysterious power of space. This kind of white python is already very rare, and it’s a little difficult to breed. It’s very weak in its infancy, and it’s not much better than a worm in the early stages. It seems that the appearance of the Baisen Secret Realm should be because of this hornless white python,” Tang Xiong nodded slightly, “Low-level strange gods like to hunt such young pets that have the dragon bloodline the most.”

Wang Ye looked at the white python in his hand.

After all this time, this wasn’t a worm?

Instead, it was a python?

Breeding a snake?

The last one who did something like this was Emperor Yan.

Then he…

Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.

Did he, Wang Ye, also have the bearings of an emperor?

“However, don’t think about it, for the time being, kid. It’s extremely difficult to breed the white python…” Tang Xiong said with a smile, “The power of space requires a large number of materials, to begin with. The final evolution path for it to become the hornless shadow dragon costs at least tens of millions. On top of that, it’s very weak in its infancy, and it will be very difficult to raise it to level 2. Moreover, the aura in the one you have is especially weak. It’s probably because it had fought with the low-level strange god. Don’t nurture it too much at this stage, just focus on raising your green sparrow.”

Wang Ye nodded.

He had a cheat though, so why bother with the hornless shadow dragon?!

He could just set some other evolutionary route, and use the simulator to make it improve! Didn’t that sound even better?
