While it was possible to search the eight Blood Hunters and then eliminate them, causing the contract between the item and the Beast Tamer to disappear, the higher the Beast Tamer's brain domain level, the slower the contract would disappear, with some even potentially lasting for a year or more.
Mingxi didn't want to waste the Time Realm's reward duration for Guangguang to break the contract.
However, items dropped by the Twelve Qiluo automatically unbind, eliminating any worries without needing after-sales service.
So, even though her blessing buff was fully stacked, she still very seriously performed a grand divination.
If doing so could nip the trouble in the bud, then she'd do it three more times!
Lin Chen and the other two watched her go crazy with blank expressions.
They didn't understand, but they respected it.
After seriously completing the divination, Mingxi began the eagerly anticipated blind box opening, while the eight Blood Hunters looked as if they had died themselves, their vitality completely controlled by the Weakness Seed.
“Got it!”
After a careful selection process, Mingxi finally found the molten star nucleus she was looking for among two S-grade spatial items.
At this moment, her eyes were as bright as the newborn sun, radiating a fervent and genuine joy.
In her hand appeared a basketball-sized, fiery-red exotic metal, its surface covered with star patterns, slightly translucent internally, looking somewhat like blood jade at first glance.
This was the molten star nucleus.
As Lin Chen had said, the Blood Hunters had a considerable amount of molten star nucleus, roughly estimated at around a hundred tons; although some of it was still raw ore and needed refining to become true molten star nucleus, a hundred tons of raw ore was already astonishing.
After all, this wasn't ordinary metal found everywhere, but energy metal.
“Team Lin, please search these people and then...” She looked at the pale-faced individuals, picked the various flowers that had bloomed on them, and said, “Kill them.”
Regardless of the bandit group's conduct, even if all of them were good people, after today's events, the two sides would inevitably become undying enemies.
Mingxi wasn't so idle as to let the tiger return to the mountain; she wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
Moreover, even if she didn't suggest it, Lin Chen and the other two would absolutely not let the Blood Hunters go.
“Don't worry.”
Lin Chen naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted.
No one expected that the Blood Hunters bandit group, which had been rampant for many years on Green Field Star and even in Wanmo Territory, striking fear into people's hearts and having at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of lives in their hands, would silently fall like this.
Having resolved a major hidden danger and obtained the desired resources, Lin Chen and the other two felt as if the rain had cleared and the sun had broken through the clouds.
At the same time, they gained a clearer and more realistic understanding of Mingxi's strength.
Terrifyingly strong.
What was even more terrifying was her inhuman wealth!
Leaving aside those precious potions and items, just the hundreds of Mechanical Fireflies and an equal number of Xiao Si Golden Bells almost made their eyes pop out.
And according to Mingxi, these Mechanical Fireflies were merely auxiliary combat power of her Mechanical Butler.
It was hard to imagine what grade her Mechanical Butler must be?
Perhaps an SSS-grade mechanical beast?
With the Blood Hunters all dead, and the wild Transcendent creature riot period only occurring on the full moon night, this underground fortress was temporarily safe.
With the molten star nucleus in hand, Mingxi immediately arranged for Chiyu's awakening.
Mingxi summoned the sleeping Chiyu, then had Black Pearl and Bright Crystal help it pile up a molten star nucleus bed for Chiyu to lie on.
Its body would then automatically absorb the energy from the molten star nucleus, gradually repairing its physical damage.
However, no one could say for sure how many days it would take.
Not even Guangguang.
All everyone could do now was wait and pray.
“Guangguang, what exactly is going on with my Pet Space?”
Finally, after settling down, Mingxi asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
Guangguang scratched its non-existent head, troubled, and said, “Master, actually, I don't know why this is happening either.”
Twelve Pet Spaces, not only was Mingxi confused, but Guangguang was also confused.
Since the birth of Beast Tamers, the maximum limit for Pet Space contract slots has always been ten; there has never been a situation like twelve Pet Spaces.
It was simply ridiculous beyond belief.
Could it be that the limit of brain domain development isn't actually 100%, and the limit of physical ability isn't SSS-grade, but that there are higher, more mysterious levels?
It remembered a line in its core intelligent program—Humans are the only intelligent species in the /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ universe that has no limits; they are weak, yet they possess infinite possibilities.
Mingxi sighed, “Could it be related to the Origin of Life and Destruction? Even in past transcendent awakenings, it never exceeded by so much.”
Having awakened twelve Pet Spaces with a transcendent awakening, Mingxi actually didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
It was definitely a good thing; at least the existence of twelve Pet Spaces told her that breaking through brain domain shackles was possible.
It was also a bad thing; if this Pet Space appeared in the outside world, it would be more than just high-profile. She hadn't ignored the way Lin Chen and the other two looked at her like a monster.
Mingxi couldn't imagine what kind of earth-shattering Earthquake she would cause if she were to form seals and summon in front of others in the future.
After all, in the thousands of years of the Alliance, Beast Tamers with a transcendent awakening of ten contract slots for their Pet Space were extremely rare, not even enough to count on one hand.
Once such a Beast Tamer appeared, they would definitely receive the attention of all citizens of the entire Alliance.
Not to mention her, with her unprecedented twelve Pet Spaces!
Unless she never formed seals and summoned in front of others again.
But she still wanted to participate in the Starsea Cup!
Alas. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“There is this possibility. The Origin of Life and Destruction will continuously transform your physique, thereby affecting the structure of the Pet Space, and it's quite reasonable for abnormal pathological conditions to appear.
Of course, it's also possible that you inherently possess the potential for a super transcendent awakening.”
Guangguang thought of the death threat she faced and comforted her, “No matter what, this is definitely a good thing.”
“Mm.”
Since things had come to this, she had to bear the bad as well.
She thought, and then summoned the newly awakened Soul Key.
“It's another Sword Key? What happened to it being rare for ten thousand years? Why another one?”
Mingxi couldn't help but complain.
It wasn't that she disliked the Sword Key, after all, it could contract Transcendent creatures of any level; how much resource and effort in cultivating pets could this process save?
But how easy was it to contract powerful Transcendent creatures?
Even with Bright Crystal, the problems were quite significant; the accumulation and recovery of the bond between them were far inferior to Little Silver Flower and the others.
Compared to Golden Yuanbao, there was simply no comparison at all.
So, while the Sword Key was good, its drawbacks were equally significant.
“Abyss.”
Golden Yuanbao suddenly spoke, and what it said not only stunned Mingxi but also Little Silver Flower and the others.
They were all collectively dumbfounded.
