Chapter 790: Chapter 787: Mutation Failure?_1
“What a joke, why would I resonate with this place? Yang Chen, no offense, but are you underestimating me? After all, you’ve used me several times, don’t you know what kind of power I possess? With me, I can withstand the downfall of the heavens. In my opinion, you’d be better off being my lad…” The Slaughter God Spear became more and more arrogant with each word, and it seemed like it couldn’t stop talking soon.
Yang Chen didn’t say anything, but Yun Lu quickly chimed in with annoyance, “Hey, stinky spear, did the removal of your restrictions make you addicted to shouting? Don’t make me call in Rainbow and the others to seal your mouth with prohibition!”
The thing that the Slaughter God Spear feared the most was others sealing its mouth and not allowing it to speak. It immediately wilted, “Don’t! Sister Yun Lu, let’s talk peacefully. I’ve only come out to shout a few times, and you want to seal my mouth already. Can’t you let me talk a bit more before sealing it?”
“Hmph, calling me sister, Slaughter God Spear, how old are you, aren’t you embarrassed?” said Yun Lu fiercely.
Yang Chen listened to their bickering without surprise. Slaughter God Spear and Yun Lu had been bickering in the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space every day.
What he heard from the Slaughter God Spear reassured him of one thing.
Initially, he suspected that the Slaughter God Spear might have originated from this place and later found its way into his hands. However, everyone could still sense the aura of the Slaughter God Spear here, leading them to believe that it belonged here.
But the answer he got was obviously not the case.
If the Slaughter God Spear was lying, he could tell. Frankly, the Slaughter God Spear has not the sharpest of minds, he didn’t know how old it was, but due to its race, its mind was still like that of a child.
This made it impossible for the Slaughter God Spear to deceive him.
In other words, the Slaughter God Spear doesn’t belong here.
“So, Slaughter God Spear, if your birthplace is not here, then where is it?” asked Yang Chen.
The Slaughter God Spear was having a great time bickering with Yun Lu. Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, it blinked, “Ah? I don’t know that either. Many of my memories are intermittent. I can only regain them when my strength returns to its peak. It’s simple, Yang Chen, just feed me that God Piercing Nail and some other Xuan Tian treasures. With my power restored, my memories may be unlocked.”
Yang Chen didn’t entirely trust what the Slaughter God Spear said. Although he could judge whether the other party was telling the truth or not, it would be a headache if the Slaughter God Spear talked nonsense.
“Let’s look around first.” Yang Chen had no choice but to start exploring.
There was no one in sight as they proceeded along the way.
The underground cavern was enormous, not to mention the boundless expanse. This area can’t be thoroughly studied in a short period.
“What is this place, exactly? Is it really a Secret Realm?” Yang Chen became increasingly doubtful, “What treasures and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? I’m afraid people are deceived. This second layer is just a barren wasteland, with nothing at all!”
At least there were some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the first layer, although not rare, at least they existed.
This second layer was worse than the first. It was a place where birds wouldn’t even poop, and there were no treasures at all!
The treasures that Zhu Hailong asked him to search for were even more ridiculous, as there wasn’t even a shadow to be seen.
Yang Chen felt that the high-level forces of many sects would instruct their respective geniuses to search for treasure, believing that there were hidden treasures in the second layer.
As such, Yang Chen felt that everyone had been deceived. The second layer was completely empty with nothing in it.
Because of this, Yang Chen felt increasingly surrounded by conspiracy, and he gritted his teeth, “What exactly are these Holy Ants connected to? First, they made everyone believe that the Slaughter God Spear was here, then, they made everyone crazily enter the Secret Realm to search for treasure, and in the end, there’s nothing!”
Yang Chen was puzzled.
He had to figure it out.
However, plans couldn’t catch up with changes, just when Yang Chen was about to think about it, the next moment, Yun Lu said anxiously, “Young Master, something has happened!”
“Senior Yun Lu, what’s wrong?” asked Yang Chen with confusion.
“It’s like this, the two sleeping Holy Ants are starting to stir. Young Master, we must find a suitable place quickly and see how the mutation process of the Holy Ants goes!” said Yun Lu.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but take it seriously. He had spent too much effort on the Holy Ants. The mutations of these two ants were crucial to him. If he didn’t pay attention, all his previous efforts might go in vain.
He had to put aside observing the surroundings and figuring out the situation for the time being, finding a suitable open space to land.
Yang Chen waved his hand and released the three demonic beasts from the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space. These three beasts were specially brought with them, three True Martial Realm 8th Layer demonic beasts that could provide assistance to him.
Now that the second layer was full of hidden dangers, Yang Chen couldn’t guarantee its safety. There must be a few guards for him when he devoted himself to the affairs of the Holy Ants.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
The three demonic beasts respectfully said in response.
Yang Chen nodded, “Keep an eye on the surroundings. If anyone comes, make sure you notify me immediately!”
“Understood, Young Master, we will keep that in mind!”
After the three demonic beasts had agreed, Yang Chen focused his attention on the only two unconscious Holy Ants in the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space.
“Young Master, look quickly! The reactions of these two Holy Ants are different now!” Yun Lu said.
Yang Chen naturally saw the details. The two Holy Ants gradually awakened from their unconscious state, their reactions, as Yun Lu described, showed starkly different changes. One was jumping around and bumping about wildly while the other was barely breathing and lying in place, looking weak as if it could die at any moment.
Seeing this, Yang Chen frowned.
At this point, there was still a considerable difference between the two Holy Ants.
This fact also confirmed Yun Lu’s words that the mutation process of the two Holy Ants was not over yet. The path of mutating Holy Ants was fraught with danger.
After all, if both successfully mutated, then the mutated Holy Ants would breed after their coupling. Therefore, it’s not easy for the mutation process to succeed.
Yang Chen subconsciously felt that the probability of successful mutation was higher for the lively Holy Ants because it had at least a lot of vitality.
But soon he realized he was wrong.
After jumping and bumping around for about half an hour, the lively Holy Ant suddenly stopped. It then abruptly fell from mid-air, its aura plummeting from heaven to the depths of despair, and no one knew what had happened.
“This… did it fail to mutate?” Yang Chen’s heart sank.
