Chapter 301: Chapter 176: Planting Rapeseed! Bounty on Wild Goats and Wild Boars! Changes in the Trading Market

Besides predatory birds, the Fierce Poisonous Bee’s other weakness was the rainy season. To tame it, he would have to wait for the rainy season to arrive.

So, all that was left for now was to search for resources.

But before searching for resources, Chen Chong decided to check on the changes around the school first.

After all, ever since he started hunting the Unihorn Catfish, he hadn’t stopped for a moment, constantly battling one Extraordinary Creature after another—the Blood-tooth Python, the Bloodthirsty Vine, the Parasites, and the Stone Claw Eagle. He had barely rested at all.

Every day, he was either running all over the place outside or returning home, dead tired, and immediately falling asleep.

His only opportunities to interact with others at the school were the speech in the plaza and his conversations with team members in the gymnasium.

’Come to think of it, I still don’t really know much about the other changes at the school.’

’Since there’s nothing urgent today, I might as well wander around the school for a bit before heading out to look for resources.’

Chen Chong led Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and Qi Zhen toward the library. The Tiger Striped Dog trotted at his feet, with the Stone Claw Eagle perched on its back.

As for Jia Wen, Zhang Meng, and Huang Mao, they had stayed behind at the gymnasium to handle other team affairs and hadn’t come with them for now.

Soon, the four people, one dog, and one eagle arrived at the library. Before they even got close, they saw several armed team members standing guard at the entrance.

Having already learned about the distribution of roles from Jia Wen, Chen Chong knew they were members of the logistics team’s security squad.

Besides patrolling the gymnasium and various production areas, their job was to stand guard at the library, preventing outsiders from getting close and making contact with the early-stage Parasites inside.

"Brother Chong! Brother Chong! Brother Chong!"

The respectful greetings rose and fell, one after another.

Chen Chong nodded to each of them and then walked inside.

The interior of the library was the same as before: no books, no shelves, just a wide-open space.

Dozens of early-stage Parasites were sitting inside, while others wandered around aimlessly out of boredom.

They had been confined here for several days. Although food was delivered daily, so they didn’t have to worry about meals—which felt rather pleasant at first—as time went on, the confinement became cramped and tedious. They were clearly growing restless.

But until he dealt with the Bloodthirsty Vine King and removed the dormant Bloodthirsty Vines from their bodies, Chen Chong would absolutely not let them out of here.

This was to prevent the suppressed Bloodthirsty Vines slumbering inside them from awakening, turning them into advanced Parasites and spreading the infection to other members.

Of course, even if Chen Chong were to let them go, they probably wouldn’t dare to leave.

After all, they had seen with their own eyes how a person was infected by a Bloodthirsty Vine and turned into a grotesque monster that was neither human nor ghost.

Compared to turning into one of those things, boredom was hardly worth mentioning.

"Brother Chong! Brother Chong! Brother Chong!"

Another wave of shouts erupted.

Although they weren’t team members, they knew Chen Chong was a Transcendent. Awed by his power, they were also keenly aware that he was their savior.

To have the Bloodthirsty Vines removed from their bodies and return to normal, they had to rely on Chen Chong, so they were all incredibly respectful toward him.

Chen Chong nodded in acknowledgment but didn’t say much. The purpose of his visit was just to check on them; as long as nothing was out of the ordinary, it was fine.

"HONK HONK HONK!"

The Lion-headed Goose’s signature call rang out as it flapped its wings and rushed over.

Although it had only been a day since they last met, the Lion-headed Goose had changed again.

Its body was larger, its neck longer, and its claws sharper, exuding the brutal presence of a combat creature.

Anyone unfamiliar with it, seeing it from a distance, would never associate it with a goose. They would be one hundred percent certain it was a highly threatening Extraordinary Creature, and approaching it rashly would only lead to their own demise.

Of course, when facing Chen Chong, the Lion-headed Goose still had the same charmingly clumsy demeanor as when they first met.

Even though its appearance no longer resembled that of a goose, whenever it moved—flapping its wings and running on its two legs—it still had the wobbly gait of one.

It rubbed its neck repeatedly against Chen Chong’s pant leg. As Chen Chong stroked its head, it even closed its eyes in comfort, as if enjoying its master’s affectionate touch.

Chen Chong activated his Identification Skill to check on it and found that while the Lion-headed Goose’s level hadn’t changed...

...the information description clearly stated that it had transformed from an ordinary Extraordinary Creature into one with immense potential and threat.

Clearly, all these changes were thanks to the mutated Bloodthirsty Vine core it had consumed earlier.

’It seems the changes from eating the Bloodthirsty Vine core aren’t a one-time event. Over time, it will continue to subtly alter its bloodline and increase its internal Extraordinary Power.’

’You really are compatible with Bloodthirsty Vine-type Extraordinary Creatures, to have grown so much stronger after consuming its core.’

Chen Chong secretly made up his mind. If he ever had the chance to slay the Bloodthirsty Vine King, he would definitely give its core to the Lion-headed Goose to devour.

’I wonder how much its power would surge if it devoured the core of the Bloodthirsty Vine King—an A+ Level creature, one might even say infinitely close to an S-Class Extraordinary Creature?’

’Would it also be directly promoted to A+ Level, becoming the strongest Extraordinary Creature under my command?’

’Or maybe even break through to S-Class?’

CLICK...

Just as Chen Chong’s thoughts began to drift, a faint sound came from behind him.

He turned to look and saw that the Assassin Insect had appeared by his side at some unknown point.
