Chapter 88.2: Is Rayne... Finally Going to Attack Me? (2)
Rayne nodded. "In terms of biology, it indeed has the same ancestors as Miss Lilia\'s Little White Duck."
Edaline smiled. "It\'s just a little darker. How about let\'s just call it Little Black Duck?"
"Wait, hold on…"
The Great Teacher had a strange expression. "How can you guys tell that this thing is even a duck?"
Wasn\'t that just a salamander or lizard?!
"Quack!"
At that moment, the Destiny Jade that was hatched let out a resounding cry.
The Great Teacher was speechless.
So... it was because it sounded like a duck.
Both the Great Teacher and Edaline did not know the origin of Little Black Duck.
Rayne could not be bothered to explain to them as there were too many things involved. Thankfully, they did not ask.
In any case…
Rayne looked at the cruel creature that was born by tearing the chest of its mother tenderly, his eyes filled with admiration and love.
It was as Olivia had said.
That was a fiend seed that could destroy the world.
This small salamander possessed the terrifying potential to end an era.
Of course.
What it was going to destroy next was not the weak flesh and blood of the mortal world, but the Black Catastrophes who possessed the same apocalyptic duty as it.
Before long, this ugly and cute creature would thrive in this greenhouse until it grew into a terrifying monster that was worthy of its reputation as a calamity…
Rayne looked at Little Black Duck with a warm gaze.
The next moment.
The Black Catastrophe whose chest was sliced open was suddenly reanimated. It charged forward nimbly and bit Little Black Duck\'s head before chomping down forcefully with its rows of sharp teeth.
"Q-Quack! Quack, quack!"
Little Black Duck let out a series of tragic cries.
Finally…
Piak!
Little Black Duck\'s head exploded from the bite!
The pitiful little living being lost its lifeforce instantly.
Little Black Duck was dead!
The Black Catastrophe spat out Little Black Duck\'s corpse and ignored it.
The Black Catastrophe was not going to eat it.
Because the architect felt that the Black Catastrophes\' inorganic digestive organs were enough, he decided to exempt the Black Catastrophes from eating normal food.
The reason why it killed Little Black Duck was merely to kill.
Incidentally, powerful regeneration and lifeforce was also one of the characteristics of the Black Catastrophes.
After killing Little Black Duck, the Black Catastrophe looked straight at Rayne.
Unfortunately, the structure of the greenhouse was divided into two levels.
One level contained the Black Catastrophe while the second level where Rayne and the demigods were located was tightly protected by the transparent crystal—the Black Catastrophe had no way of attacking them.
Little Black Duck\'s tragic death did not move Rayne at all. He still maintained his warm smile.
He took out a small book and began to record.
[Little Black Duck No. 1. ]
[Time Alive: Two minutes. ]
An hour later.
The Little Black Duck corpse that had its head blown off suddenly convulsed violently and a new Little Black Duck broke out of its body!
"Quack!"
From the corpse of the previous generation, Little Black Duck No. 2 was born!
Surprisingly, there was a visible difference between the newborn Little Black Duck No. 2 and No. 1.
There was now a bone armor on its head.
Evidently, on the genetic level, Little Black Duck absorbed the experience of its predecessor\'s death and began to evolve in order to adapt to its natural enemies.
A tough head could effectively prevent Little Black Duck from dying to the Black Catastrophe\'s bite.
When the new Little Black Duck No. 2 was born, it sucked dry all the nutrients in No. 1\'s body, leaving only a shriveled skin.
After devouring its predecessor...
Little Black Duck No. 2 turned its gaze towards the Black Catastrophe in the corner.
It was hungry.
However, the next moment, the Black Catastrophe roared and lunged forward, biting Little Black Duck No. 2\'s head still.
In the end, even with the tough bone armor, the Black Catastrophe was still able to crush this thing that was slightly jarring due to the fact that its skull was not tough enough.
Little Black Duck No. 2 was dead.
Little Black Duck No. 3 was born an hour later.
Thereafter, it was crushed by a single bite again.
Just like that, this little living being with unlimited potential began an endless cycle of reincarnation. Its kindle was passed down and evolved continuously.
He watched as Little Black Duck lived and died.
Rayne actually felt a sense of familiarity.
At the side, Edaline had long lost interest in the fight between the two beasts.
Since she had nothing to do, she began to provoke the Great Teacher verbally, hoping to anger the strongest elven demigod so that she could have a legitimate reason to fight the latter happily.
The Great Teacher ignored her.
Just like that.
The initial form of the Endless Bug Swarm, Little Black Duck, began its training.
Days passed just like that.
After countless evolutions, Little Black Duck finally obtained a tough skull that even Black Catastrophe could not bite through.
However, when the Black Catastrophe bit Little Black Duck\'s head and flung it wildly...
.
Little Black Duck\'s neck was snapped and it fell to the ground once more.
After even more evolutions, Little Black Duck obtained a tough spine.
In the end, its stomach was ripped open by the Black Catastrophe and it died on the ground.
Thereafter, Little Black Duck continued to evolve…
During this period of time, Edaline could not sit still in the greenhouse and went out to hunt Black Catastrophes on her own.
Through spatial teleportation, she arrived at different regions to kill the Black Catastrophes. This could effectively distract the Black Catastrophes so that they would not notice the greenhouse.
At the same time, Edaline would patrol the surroundings of the greenhouse and eliminate all threats that approached it.
As for the Great Teacher…
Naturally, she would stay in the greenhouse to ensure the safety of Rayne.
This was a very logical arrangement.
Compared to the active Edaline, the Great Teacher naturally did not mind staying in the greenhouse.
However...
How should she put it...
The Great Teacher was feeling conflicted and even... somewhat shy.
After all, every time Edaline went out…
She would be the only one left with Rayne in the greenhouse.
Right now, her feelings towards Rayne were rather… indescribable.
First, she was bewitched by him at the Blazing Sun Wall.
Thereafter, she experienced waves of emotional impact when she read Alice\'s mind...
In a sense, being alone with Rayne Haines now was an extremely dangerous thing for the Great Teacher.
Thankfully, for the past two days, Rayne had been focused on nurturing Little Black Duck.
The Great Teacher heaved a sigh of relief and gradually got used to the life of staying in the greenhouse with Rayne.
However, just as the Great Teacher was gradually letting down her guard…
Third day since the establishment of the greenhouse.
Rayne sought out the Great Teacher.
He wanted to discuss the divinity of Life with the Great Teacher.
After all, for Rayne, it was probably boring to stay in a sealed environment everyday and watch two dangerous monsters fight against one another.
Coincidentally, the most knowledgeable Great Teacher of the elves was right beside him. Therefore, he wanted to discuss some scholarly topics with her.
However, there was nothing inappropriate about Rayne\'s request and the Great Teacher could only agree.
The Great Teacher: "Alright…"
Just like that.
In the quiet greenhouse, Rayne and the Great Teacher sat at a table and discussed their opinions casually.
As he spoke, Rayne looked straight into the Great Teacher\'s eyes with a kind gaze.
The Great Teacher looked elsewhere hurriedly, unwilling to meet Rayne\'s eyes.
However, in the end, she could not help but steal glances at Rayne from the corner of her eye.
The Great Teacher could not help but feel her heart skip a beat. It was clearly just an ordinary scholarly discussion and she did not know why she was so worked up.
Rayne Haines, are you finally...
Going to lay your hands on me?
