Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 298: Thousands of Attribute Points and the Descendants of a King (I)

"Among the seven people we arrested, four are from the border of Fengye Town, and three are from the surrounding areas.

"The strength of these individuals range from the First to Second Heavenly Realm. Five of them were ordinary trainees who cultivated at Oshiro Senryu Martial Arts Academy five to eight years ago.

"The other two were former students of martial arts high schools who graduated eight and seven years ago respectively. But due to their lack of ability, they only reached the late stage of the First Heavenly Realm upon graduation.

"None of the seven are demon cultists and don’t possess any demon power. Their recent activities have been normal, and they also have typical family and social relationships. However, tests revealed that their spirits have been contaminated.

"Tracking the actions of these seven individuals eventually led us to the owner of a small shop in Fengye. But when military personnel arrived, they found the shop owner’s body in an advanced state of decay in the restroom."

"Additionally, while scanning through information using the Celestial Operation System yesterday, the Federation Intelligence Department identified potential traces of Akunus in Fengye..."

The next day, on a plane heading to the Baihu Nation, Xu Xiaoqi presented the report from Yueshan.

Li Daoyi pondered, "If they’re just ordinary cultivators in the First or Second Heavenly Realm, and can't even carry firearms through security, what's the point of Akunus contaminating and controlling these people?"

"He's probably trying to test for any defensive gaps around Miss Yan,” Chen Chu said calmly. "There will likely be many more tests until they determine that the way I detect danger is through direct visual observation."

Bai Yunfeng frowned. "In that case, Mr. Chen, should you try to conceal this ability?"

Chen Chu shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with confidence. "No need. Or rather, we should let them realize this. Then they'll feel confident and reveal themselves. While my detection method does require the enemy’s gaze, it’s not all I have.”

In this world, there were plenty of arts and secret arts that could deceive sight. The special art that Luo Fei cultivated could conceal her killing intent and malice, and even erase her presence.

However, after reaching the Insightful Eye Realm and condensing its rune, the way he truly sensed danger was through an almost sixth-sense-like intuition.

As long as a person possessed by the king-level soul got close, the sheer fact that they posed a threat to Chen Chu would instantly trigger his intuitive reaction, even if they concealed their aura, killing intent, and presence.

This time, there were many first-class seats on the plane to Baihu. After discussing the matter, Li Daoyi suddenly leaned toward Chen Chu with a curious expression. “Bro, last night after the concert, that beauty, Tong Guling, came over to say hello and wanted to add you as a friend on social media. Why did you refuse?”

Chen Chu looked at him, puzzled, “Why should I add her? So she can flatter me and call me handsome?”

Pfft!

Yan Ruoyi and the other woman beside her immediately burst into laughter. They knew about Li Daoyi’s hobby of adding beautiful women as friends and sending them red packets to be called handsome.

Li Daoyi wasn’t bothered by their laughter. Instead, he continued with an envious tone. “Didn’t she say she wanted to add you to hire you as her personal bodyguard if Miss Yan ever fired you? She’s the most beautiful woman in Yueshan, so gorgeous, and you turned her down.”

“You believe that?” Chen Chu shook his head, not wanting to engage in this conversation. Instead, to get through the several hours of flying, he took out the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture.

He hadn’t slept at all last night. With the Golden Dragon Double Pupil allowing him to observe space, he had already constructed a prototype of the spatial passage. The next step would be to refine it. He estimated that after a few hundred rounds of deductions and simulations, he should be able to succeed.

Once the spatial passage was successfully established, the Life Crystals obtained from Thunder Fiery would be supplied to him, eliminating any concerns about the source of attribute points. After all, compared to earning contribution points and exchanging them for crystals through official channels, it was much faster to have a powerful partner in the ocean collecting them.

A thousand meters underwater, in the ice palace, the Single-horned Kun was the first to return. It opened its massive mouth, which looked as endless as a black hole, and released a stream of water that carried five crystals of varying sizes.

Squeak squeak squeak! Thunder Fiery, I managed to get five crystals.

Roar! Not bad. Seeing the three level 5 and two level 6 Life Crystals in front of him, the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast nodded with satisfaction.

To have gathered so many crystals in a day, the Kun had put in a lot of effort, covering at least hundreds of kilometers across the ocean.

Half an hour later, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, which looked like a small hill, crawled back and roared proudly. Roar! Thunder Fiery, look, I brought back seven crystals. Impressive, right?

Roar! Well done. The Thunder Beast’s eyes gleamed with joy as he collected two level 4, three level 5, and two level 6 Life Crystals, setting them aside.

It didn’t expect Baxia to gather more crystals than the Kun. Finding high-level mutated creatures at their peak in the ocean, killing them, and extracting the crystals was time-consuming. Among these colossal beasts, the Dragon Turtle had an advantage due to its claws.

A little later, the four mutated orcas, who had gone out as a team, also swam back. With them, they brought eleven level 3 and four level 5 Life Crystals. While there was certainly strength in numbers, their limited power only allowed them to target creatures that were below level 6.

Then, finally, about two hours later, the Nine-headed Serpent returned. In the mouths of two of its massive black heads, it carried the corpses of two peak level 7 colossal beasts, which exuded a terrifying aura.

At sixty meters long, one of the beasts resembled a blue whale, while the other was a seventy-meter-long serpent. Seeing this scene made the Kun and Dragon Turtle's eyes twitch.

Ghidorah was too powerful. Judging by its unscathed appearance, killing two peak level 7 colossal beasts had been as easy as killing chickens. Furthermore, the dense, bloody aura it exuded suggested it had fought many other level 7 beasts.

Just like them, it had been battling all day. After all, fighting was the only way to determine whether a mutated creature had reached the peak of its level.

Thud! Thud!

The corpses of the beasts, weighing thousands of tons, crashed onto the seafloor, shaking the ground and making the sea rumble.

All nine of Ghidorah's heads nodded menacingly as it roared: Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, look, here, crystals, meat, for you to eat.

After learning that the Thunder Beast needed Life Crystals and also liked to eat the meat of mutated beasts, Ghidorah had traveled over a thousand kilometers to hunt and brought back two peak level 7 colossal beasts. During its search for suitable prey, the Serpent swept through a vast area of the sea, battling all the way.

Roar! Let me take a look. As the Thunder Beast approached the corpses, its sharp claws glowed with intense golden light, radiating scalding heat.

Sizzle!

Without their abilities and energy, the armor-like scales of the two colossal beasts were easily torn apart. Soon, a human head-sized golden crystal appeared in its massive claws. Feeling the rich life energy within the crystal, the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast grinned menacingly and quickly extracted another level 7 crystal from the other colossal beast.

Seeing the Thunder Beast's sinister smile, Ghidorah felt happy. Its heads roared excitedly. Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Tian, is it enough?

The Thunder Beast thought for a moment, then shook its head and roared. Roar! It's not enough. Everyone, go get some more.

Roar! No problem, Ghidorah is very powerful.

Feeling proud to help the Thunder Beast, the Serpent eagerly swam out of the palace, disappearing into the dark depths of the sea.

Not to be outdone, the Kun and the Dragon Turtle also sprang into action.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Let's keep going, charge!

Roar! Baxia can get more, me, stronger.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! The four orcas also let out excited cries and left to continue their work.

Usually, these orcas spent their days eating, sleeping, and playing. Today, however, they felt a rare sense of accomplishment and purpose in being helpful.

After all of the colossal beasts had left, the Thunder Beast lay on the ice steps, excitedly playing with the twenty-nine Life Crystals.

With the majority being high-level crystals, the Thunder Beast estimated that they could convert into at least 4,000 attribute points. Just the thought made it quite excited.

However, such a large-scale harvest could only happen once or twice. After hunting high-level mutated creatures within a thousand kilometers twice, the crystal yield would sharply decrease.

After all, creatures that had mutated would have also developed a certain level of intelligence. Seeing the large number of fierce predators in the area would eventually drive them to flee or hide.

Additionally, mobilizing the entire Dragon Palace force to gather crystals for it would only happen once. These beasts were not its workers.

So, should I start training a few "workers" to specifically collect Life Crystals?

The Thunder Beast pondered this. There were countless mutated creatures in the ocean, and they would continue to grow. As long as it expanded its territory, it could endlessly harvest Life Crystals.

It seemed that the tasks of the Dragon Palace could be adjusted. It could have the four moderately powerful mutated orcas help it collect Life Crystals. In that case, their strength needed to be improved. The three little orcas were only at level 4, which was a bit weak.
