When Yue Yang approached that weird Spherical-stalked Plant, the gigantic demon beetle which was chasing after Yue Yang immediately turned around and retreated.
Yue Yang thought that this gigantic demon beetle would need at least three minutes to return to the place where Ye Kong and the others were. He thought that he had given enough time for Ye Kong to contract the Beetle Larva. Yue Yang walked right in front of the weird Spherical-stalked Plant and was about to summon the Thorny Flower that was still evolving. However, against expectations, the Spherical-Stalked plant suddenly moved, its cactus-like, thorny surface slowly opening up. A bright white light suddenly filled the air, looking extremely holy and soothing. The surrounding dirty earth had even melted into black particles under the bright white light, slowly ascending to the sky.
At first, Yue Yang had thought that there was a precious pearl inside the Spherical-stalked Plant, just like those pearls that were stored inside shells.
When the bright white light was not that dazzling anymore, Yue Yang reached out to see and froze as he saw what was inside.
In the Spherical-stalked Plant, there was a coconut meat-like layer. And in the middle of the plant that did not have much meat left, was a beetle with a jade-like, sparkling and translucent body, whose innards could be seen through its shell. It looked a little like the Herculean Rhinoceros Beetle, but its horns weren’t that developed yet and also not as sharp. The horns didn’t even look like they were capable of injuring someone, instead, they gave others a mellow, lustrous and satiny feel.
The beetle looked like a masterpiece of a sculpture that had been polished repeatedly.
Its sparkling and translucent body looked like white jade and carried a tinge of gold barely visible to the eye. There was no other colour in its body. Its little horns, little feet and little body were all extremely adorable.
Yue Yang was secretly surprised. Even with his level 3 [Divine Vision], how could he not be able to see through this beetle?
Hui Tai Lang seemed to be a little annoyed by the White Jade Beetle who had enormous powers although it was still a baby. The reason was that the pure and holy power inside the beetle could disperse the demonic qi inside Hui Tai Lang’s body. Hence, Hui Tai Lang was unwilling to come near the White Jade Beetle.
If it was any other beetle with such an abundant power instead, Hui Tai Lang would probably already swallowed it whole.
Yue Yang reached his hands out and took this White Jade Beetle into his hands.
If he didn’t see that its feet and horns were moving ever so slightly, Yue Yang would have thought that this White Jade Beetle was a sculptor’s valuable art piece.
Was this really a living thing?
In this filthy Demon Abyss, how could there exist such a pure living thing? There were really so many weird, unexplainable things in this world. Yue Yang opened his beast encyclopedia and looked through the insect-type beasts for a long time, but he couldn’t find a matching record that fulfil the description of this White Jade Beetle. When he tried to feel it with his Innate Qi, just when he managed to get into it a little, a bright white light suddenly enveloped him whole… Hui Tai lang seemed to feel unwell amidst the white light and immediately retreated a few meters back, escaping from the vicinity of the white light.
Yue Yang studied it for a long time but he still could not find a good answer to this bizarre event.
He knew for sure that this beetle was a good thing, but he didn’t know what beast this White Jade Beetle was.
The White Jade Beetle didn’t struggle in his hands, even when Yue Yang was turning it upside down and all around to observe its every nook and corner. Only its little feet moved a little at times. Most of the time, it only stayed still quietly, as if it was in a deep sleep.
“Forget it, let’s just pick it up and see what it is later at home.” Yue Yang put the White Jade Beetle into his backpack. Suddenly, Hui Tai Lang immediately charged forward with all his speed, intending to bite on that white layer of meat that was left behind. Yue Yang sent it flying with a kick. What a good fellow, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to its master’s words upon seeing a good item.
“Wang Wang Wu…” Hui Tai Lang hurriedly acted like an honest dog and wagged its tail excitedly. He even put on an ‘I’m a good boy’ look.
“Could this fruit’s flesh be used to nurture beasts?” Yue Yang searched it using his Innate Qi and found that this fruit had a Life Energy just like the Oak Tree’s Heart, but its energy was a little weaker. Furthermore, there was also a kind of pure energy that Yue Yang couldn’t figure out. Yue Yang started to think. Maybe if he used this fruit’s flesh to nurture beasts, especially nurturing young beasts, it would h
