One person and three beasts stood before a purplish-blue amber, about five meters tall.
Their gazes were focused and serious as they scrutinized the amber's interior, unknowingly becoming cross-eyed.
This amber was what they had obtained from the last red-doored room on the Thirteenth Floor.
That room was different from all the others.
The chessboard at the entrance was half a nine-palace grid from Chinese chess and half a Go board.
Therefore, opening it required consuming one Star Spirit Chess piece and one valor spirit chess piece, respectively.
The situation they encountered in the room was also very unique.
Upon entering the room, they appeared in a dark blue seabed.
Not only did they have to face the omnipresent seawater and an oxygen-deprived environment, but they also had to contend with a group of terrifyingly powerful 'shrimp soldiers and crab generals'.
There were hundreds of Advanced Level water-attribute Transcendent creatures.
None of these were the most terrifying.
The most terrifying part was that the leader of this group of water-attribute Transcendent creatures was an Emperor-level Crocodile Water Dragon.
The Crocodile Water Dragon, an Emperor-level Transcendent creature with both dragon and water attributes, possessed the ability to summon wind and rain and stir up storms.
In other words, this creature had the innate skills Water Spout and Rain Summoning.
People living by the sea also called it the Water Dragon King.
In the sea, the Crocodile Water Dragon was the absolute overlord!
Therefore, the crisis Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue faced when encountering such an opponent could not be explained in a few words.
They were in a stalemate in the sea for over two hours.
Finally, Little Silver Flower used Reverse Scale.
Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue were completely exhausted of energy.
And she was almost beheaded by the Crocodile Water Dragon.
The four of them, some injured, some crippled, only then managed to painstakingly clear this 'dungeon' and obtain the treasure guarded by that group of Transcendent creatures.
Which was this large piece of amber before them.
However, the time spent at the bottom of the sea was compressed to 5 minutes after they returned to reality.
This situation had also never occurred in other rooms.
Getting back to the main topic.
At this moment, Guangguang spoke: "After detection and analysis, this piece of amber is the petrified resin of a Divine-level Transcendent creature, the Myriad Hope Earth Fusion Pine, and it was buried in an extremely cold region for many years to form its current clear and beautiful color."
"Fossils formed from Myriad Hope Earth Fusion Pine resin are currently the hardest known amber fossils, reaching a hardness of 3700 (based on diamond's 10 Mohs hardness)."
"Even Chu Kuangsheng's Litrubang wouldn't be able to cut through this amber."
Mingxi gasped.
Amber formed from the resin of a Divine-level Transcendent creature!
Has she been exposed to too many things related to Divine-level Transcendent creatures recently?
It's making her confused.
Shouldn't Divine-level creatures be very rare? Why does their appearance frequency seem so high when it comes to her?
However, Guangguang's next words caused Mingxi's pupils, which had been somewhat nonchalant, to suddenly constrict.
She asked with a hint of disbelief:
"...You're saying this Mermaid inside is also a Divine-level Transcendent creature?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Yes, Master."
Mingxi's expression was complex.
Well, I'll be!
In the past, it was just legends, rumors, companion creatures, self-born creatures.
Even the Bei Shan Turtle Whale, that was already an island; who could tell it was a Divine-level being?
There was no real feeling, so there wasn't much reverence.
But now.
She was directly given an amber sealing a Divine-level Transcendent creature!
"A Divine-level Transcendent creature, how can it be so... miniature?"
The amber was over 5 meters tall overall, and the Transcendent creature sealed inside would not exceed 3 meters at most.
Could it be that this Transcendent creature was wearing a pet shrinking bracelet?
Mingxi would not doubt Guangguang's judgment; it was the absolute authority in this regard.
So she was simply curious.
Guangguang: "Because this is a female Youhai Mermaid. Female Youhai Mermaids of this race inherently pursue beauty and will change their body shape and appearance during evolution according to their own preferences. This Mermaid clearly prefers a petite and delicate physique.
Whereas male Mermaids inherently pursue extreme power, and their appearance and physique are relatively more arbitrary."
Youhai Mermaid?
Mingxi knew about Mermaids as Transcendent creatures.
Not myths or legends, but real, existing Mermaids.
Water-attribute Transcendent creatures, because they only like to live in the ocean, are rarely seen in the human world and are rarely contracted by Beast Tamers.
Youhai Mermaid should be a branch of Mermaids.
"Then can you analyze roughly how many years this amber has existed?" Mingxi asked curiously.
Guangguang: "Based on the amber's density, hardness, and other analyses, this amber is approximately over 2300 years old."
Mingxi was stunned.
This amber is only 2300 years old?
Doesn't that mean the Youhai Mermaid inside the amber is a Divine-level creature born in the Beast Tamer civilization era?
If she were to make a bold guess, perhaps in some unknown place, Divine-level creatures are actually everywhere?
Like the deep sea?
Like an unknown planet?
Mingxi rubbed her arms, shaking off a full body of goosebumps.
She gazed at the amber before her, "It's not still alive, is it?"
No wonder Guangguang said this Youhai Mermaid loved beauty.
The Mermaid inside the amber was indeed beautiful, like a sleeping elf.
Even through a thick layer of purplish-blue crystal, its beauty was still astonishing.
To say it was devastatingly beautiful would not be an exaggeration.
Its skin was milky, fair ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) and delicate. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Its hair was as smooth as silk, as if dancing in water, gently and softly spread out.
Its eyes were slightly closed.
Long eyelashes, like butterfly wings, seemed to be gently trembling, revealing a serene and mysterious aura.
Its lips were slightly upturned, seemingly smiling.
Making one wonder if it had seen something beautiful.
Its body lines were graceful, arms gently hanging down, fingers long and slender, as if playing beautiful music.
Its chest, covered in blue scales, was full, its waist slender, and its fishtail was even more stunningly beautiful, not inferior to Little Silver Flower's dragon tail in the slightest.
Although it was blue, it looked as if it was Five Colors.
The amber was like a dreamlike world, forever freezing the Mermaid's beauty in that moment.
It was so lifelike.
Looking at it, Mingxi always had the feeling that it could swim out of the amber at any moment.
Guangguang: "Dead beyond dead."
Receiving an affirmative answer, a strong gleam burst forth in Mingxi's eyes.
If this amber were put up for auction, wouldn't it be enough to exchange for a country?
This was the intact divine body of a Divine-level Transcendent creature; its artistic and scientific value were immeasurable.
She had no interest in 'art' and no plans to engage in scientific research.
So, this amber, in her hands, seemed to have no other use than gathering dust, so it might as well be sold for a large sum of money.
She murmured: "I'll find an opportunity to auction it off."
"Ling Ling."
Lan Yue suddenly called out twice.
Mingxi let out an 'ah', her small face scrunching up, as if she had eaten a sour lemon.
Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower also looked at Lan Yue in surprise.
