Just seeing them would give her goosebumps.
Like this thing in front of her!
So tiny, so terrifying.
“Wow!”
The most loyal intelligent butler appeared at the opportune moment, his voice exceptionally excited!
“Master, this is a good thing!”
Mingxi’s mouth twitched violently.
But she tried her best to conceal her strong aversion to this ‘good thing’ in front of her.
No rush, listen first.
Honest words are always unpleasant to the ear.
Mingxi cleared her throat and asked with a profound air, “Oh? What’s it for?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this thing should be the legendary kui bian zhu.”
Zhu?
Mingxi asked uncertainly, “Which zhu?”
“Of course, the ‘zhu’ from ‘pearl’.”
Mingxi’s eyebrows twitched violently.
Frowning at the extremely active little black bug in Little Silver Flower’s claws, how did this thing resemble a pearl?
Even if it were the ‘zhu’ from ‘spider’, it didn’t have that light and lovely feeling.
“Master, don’t look at its current appearance; it’s because it hasn’t fully completed its kui bian. The true kui bian zhu is actually an insect egg, named for its resemblance to a black pearl.
The kui bian zhu needs to undergo three kui bians. At birth, it’s an embryo, also called a naked moth. After the first transformation, it becomes a pupa. After the second transformation, it becomes an adult insect, and the egg form after the third transformation is the true kui bian zhu.”
Mingxi mused, how was this kui bian zhu’s complete metamorphosis development the reverse of a moth’s?
“What’s the relationship between the kui bian zhu and this Shi Fan Transformation Array?” freēwēbnovel.com
Guangguang: “Master, you’ve hit the nail on the head!”
“The kui bian zhu can only complete its kui bian by relying on the Shi Fan Transformation Array.
Because only the bodies of the darkest and most evil creatures can become the breeding ground for the kui bian zhu’s growth and transformation.
At the same time, during its growth, the kui bian zhu will continuously emit energy to power the Shi Fan Transformation Array. The balance they form is why this linked array has not collapsed for thousands of years!
I knew it, what kind of linked array is so formidable that it has been maintained for a thousand years even when sealed underwater!”
It paused, resting its cybernetic chin:
“Master, I have reason to suspect that this Mystic Mirage Sea is a testing ground for someone or some organization, and someone is using the formidable physique of the Ghost Sea Merman to cultivate the kui bian zhu.”
As Guangguang became more human-like, its ability to think divergently also became extremely strong. As it spoke, it deduced the cause and effect.
“Perhaps the disappearance of the Ghost Sea Merman tribe in the river of history was also a conspiracy, and the black ice was also created by the same person or organization.”
“Anos’s mother beast might have been a Merman princess who escaped this catastrophe.”
“What a grand scheme, destroying a race just to cultivate the kui bian zhu!”
Mingxi frowned; Guangguang’s speculation was not without reason.
But—
“What’s the use of the kui bian zhu? Is it necessary for that person or those people to annihilate a race and then spend a thousand years planning for it?”
Human lifespans are, after all, limited.
Even an SSS-level Beast Master, using various methods, is unlikely to live for more than a thousand years.
At most, 700 years.
The longest-living human in history was one of the founders of the Yushou Center, the Alliance’s second SSS-level Beast Master, Elena Serandon.
This person lived to be 680 years old.
This was also because three of the pet beasts she had contracted were Angel System, possessing skills to extend her life.
Of course, anything is possible in this world.
Perhaps someone truly lived longer than Elena Serandon.
But Mingxi still couldn’t understand why someone would meticulously scheme for a thousand years just to cultivate the kui bian zhu.
Unless the value of the kui bian zhu was worth him (them) waiting a thousand years!
“The kui bian zhu is indeed a good thing. A complete kui bian zhu has the ability to remove the genetic chain’s upper limit shackles of certain Transcendent creatures.”
Mingxi raised an eyebrow: “Genetic chain’s upper limit shackles? Are you saying the kui bian zhu can make the evolution chain of Transcendent creatures limitless?”
Theoretically, every Transcendent race has its evolution limit. For example, Lan Yue’s current evolution limit is God-level.
“That’s what it means.”
Mingxi: “...”
“No wonder.”
Something that could break the evolution limit of Transcendent creatures, no wonder someone would scheme for a thousand years for it.
If it truly succeeded, then God-level pet beasts would no longer be a dream, and even beings beyond God-level might appear.
Mingxi took a deep breath.
She looked again at the black caterpillar in Little Silver Flower’s claws, “Its kui bian was interrupted, right? Is it still useful?”
Guangguang first flattered Mingxi, “This one is a second-transformation kui bian bug. «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Although it doesn’t have the true effect of a kui bian zhu, if cooked, its meat is extremely delicious, and it also has effects like beauty and skin care, strengthening the physique, and improving talent, no worse than sorrow painting fans.”
Mingxi’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch again.
This thing could actually be eaten?
And the meat was delicious!
Mingxi was a little unable to maintain her composure.
She took another breath.
She had Little Silver Flower put this so-called ‘kui bian bug’ into the Time Realm first.
After learning about the special nature of the kui bian zhu, Mingxi realized that this place absolutely could not be stayed in for long!
It was impossible that only the people from the Yushou Center received news about the cracks appearing in the black ice.
If there truly was a mastermind behind the sealing of the Mystic Mirage Sea, then they were very likely to have been monitoring this place all along.
They would probably also send people in...
They were now essentially snatching food from a tiger’s mouth! The tiger could return at any time!
Even if the mastermind didn’t come, they needed to leave as soon as possible to avoid encountering the Deep Sea Observation Team.
Who knew if anyone in that observation team had been infiltrated by the mastermind?
Mingxi felt that this possibility was greater than the mastermind sending another team in!
So they had to be fast!
“Golden Yuanbao! Everyone, we need to speed up! Attention! Monsters might drop a black bug or a black bead. Both of these are good things, collect them all.”
According to Guangguang, not all of these so-called darkest creatures, which were transformed into monsters, necessarily had kui bian zhu inside them, because the kui bian zhu had a very high mortality rate during the kui bian process.
The survival rate was less than 1%, meaning that out of a hundred monsters, not necessarily one kui bian zhu could be dropped.
From this, it was evident how astonishing Little Silver Flower’s luck value was.
If it weren’t for their limited time, Mingxi would have wanted Little Silver Flower to kill all these monsters.
“You Yan!”
“Lovenia.”
“Ling Ling.”
“...Mingsui Grass.”
“Puff puff puff.”
Driven by a sense of urgency, Mingxi and her five pet beasts began to kill the monsters with all their might.
