BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 - New Deal!
After extracting all the available parts that can be sold, Ban stored them inside his Dimensional Storage Earring immediately.
The Elder Red-Panda nodded its head towards him and without further ado, the Elder Red-Panda instantly dashed towards the next Elder Monk Tree that was also infected by the offspring of the mother Black Eye Bug.
They did the same process as before and it did not take long for them to eliminate ten offspring Black Eye Bugs. Every time, the Elder Red-Panda will use its green eyes to locate the hiding offspring Black Eye Bug while Ban and Eva would immediately go towards that area and wait for the offspring Black Eye Bug to emerge before eliminating it swiftly.
And in those instances, they always achieved the Perfect Harmony state and after a couple of experiences, Ban and Eva became proficient in it. They could now even activate and deactivate it at will, in which even the Elder Red-Panda was surprised about.
Unfortunately, Ban did not find any Beast Core from the ones he just killed recently. He felt dejected but he later thought that it was normal as Beast Cores are not common items after all.
After another hour, they finally finished eliminating all the offspring that had infected the Elder Monk Trees. And to be safe, the Elder Red-Panda even scanned the area past the Elder Monk Trees to see if there were any offspring Black Eye Bug that went there.
However, the Elder Red-Panda returned empty handed a while later as it seemed that the Black Eye Bugs were just getting started on their assault. However, Ban guessed that if given enough time, the Black Eye Bugs might be able to infect all the trees of the Tranquil Forest and turn them into dead trees in no time. It was fortunate that he came here or else, he guessed that the Elder Red-Panda would not be able to do anything as it did not know any information regarding the Black Eye Bugs.
In total, Ban and Eva killed twenty four offspring Black Eye Bugs. He now has twenty four Iris\' of the Black Eye Bugs, a total of seventy two tentacles and one Beast Core that came from the first Black Eye Bug they killed.
The only thing left now was to kill the Black Eye Bug on the Elder Red-Panda hands. Of course, he did not think even for a second that the Elder Red-Panda would allow him to kill it as their strength difference was massive.
"Elder, we already killed all of its offspring so you can kill that mother Black Eye Bug now. It won\'t pose any more problems." Ban said as he hugged Eva who already reverted back to her normal form. As although it doesn\'t have a limit, maintaining that form drains Eva\'s energy easily. However, with the passive effect of Ban\'s [Skill] Greed, Absorber, Eva would be able to regain energy much faster every time they kill a Black Eye Bug due to them being at the Perfect Harmony state.
The Elder Red-Panda nodded its head. "Alright, get back a little further!"
The Elder Red-Panda said a little further, but Ban already saw how strong it was so he did not hesitate to run far away, lest he get hit by the Elder Red-Panda\'s stray attacks. That would be quite tragic if he accidentally died due to the stray attacks of the Elder Red-Panda.
After distancing himself, Ban made an okay sign towards the Elder Red-Panda in which the latter nodded as a reply.
The Elder Red-Panda no longer wasted any more time. It floated up in the air along with the mother Black Eye Bug on its left hand. The Elder Red-Panda raised its right hand and slowly, the green chaos energy ball started to form again.
It did not take long for it to become as big as the Elder Red-Panda\'s head. The mother Black Eye Bug shivered upon seeing that nasty ball of energy again but it could do nothing other than to watch the Elder Red-Panda make the green chaos energy ball bigger in size.
Without saying anything, the Elder Red-Panda struck the mother Black Eye Bug with the green chaos energy ball on its hand. And for the Black Eye Bug that always seeks tranquility lest it would not be able to control itself, the chaos energy was like its natural nemesis.
The moment the green chaos energy ball touched the mother Black Eye Bug, it shivered wildly as it tried to escape from the Elder Red-Panda\'s grasp. However, no matter what kind of struggle it made, the tiny hand of the Elder Red-Panda just wouldn\'t budge even a little.
A moment later, the Black Eye Bug exploded into a sticky black liquid. Strangely enough, the black liquid was not able to touch even a single fur on the Elder Red-Panda and even the hand that it used to hold the center tentacle of the mother Black Eye Bug was untainted.
The Elder Red-Panda slowly floated down as if nothing important just happened. It\'s appearance had already returned to normal. Its brows, beard and mustache had already stopped floating and its two hands are now clasped behind its back again.
"Come here, young-one!" The Elder Red-Panda said with a voice that traveled towards Ban\'s ears as if it was spoken beside him.
Ban instantly went closer towards the Elder Red-Panda along with Eva in her normal form. "What is it, Elder?"
"What are you called, young-one?" The Elder Red-Panda asked.
"Ban! I\'m called Ban!" He answered.
"Alright, young-Ban! I have another deal for you! Take care of the infected Elder Monk Trees and make them lively again. In exchange, I\'ll give you this as a reward!" The Elder Red-Panda said while raising one of its hands in mid-air.
Atop the Elder Red-Panda\'s hand was a spherical ball slightly bigger than Ban\'s fist. It floated atop the Elder Red-Panda\'s hand as if it was held by an invisible string.
Upon seeing that, Ban\'s eyes went wide as he did not expect that the Elder Red-Panda would allow him to obtain that one. As if afraid that the Elder Red-Panda might take back its word, Ban hurriedly agreed to the Elder Red-Panda\'s request.
"Leave it to me, Elder!"
