Chapter 665: Chapter 499: The Power of the Star Lord (Two in One)_2
And among them, the corpses of the giant wolves lay on the ground as if crushed by a heavy object, their bodies and heads flattened.
"Uh, uh..."
Weiss, seeing this scene, swallowed twice involuntarily, wanting to say something, but he found himself unable to utter a word.
Shocking!
It was just too shocking!
He could never have imagined that the Star Lord’s casual strike would have such terrifying power.
Fifteen giant wolves, killed in an instant!
What he had thought would be a great battle had ended so quickly, so abruptly, that it might not even have lasted a second...
Weiss wiped the sweat from his forehead and realized anew the extent of his boss’s terrifying strength.
Compared to the dead giant wolves, the boss was more of a monster, possessing a strength that was simply not human.
He swallowed hard, his resolve to follow the organization now even more firm.
Jiu Jiu had somehow returned to its usual spot on Zhang Xiaoman’s shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his chin with its round little head.
Zhang Xiaoman stepped closer, attempting to absorb points using the power of the Eye of the Starry Sky, but to no surprise, he failed.
These mutants contaminated by stone fragments, just like those Insect Second Generations, were unable to provide essence.
"Weiss, you and Anna head back first, leave the rest to me. I’ll have someone come to pick you up at the tavern later," he said to Weiss, then turned and went into the wooden hut.
Weiss stood there, staring at the flattened corpses of the giant wolves for a long while before he muttered as if to himself.
"I understand..."
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the hut the Star Lord had entered, then with a complicated gaze at the bodies on the ground, before turning to leave.
Zhang Xiaoman searched the hut, looking for other clues, and eventually found an experimental report on Mutant Beasts in a drawer.
"Experiment Name: Horror Wolf... Experiment Type: Genetic Modification Experiment... Genetic Plan Adopted: Ero Wolf, Chordata, Mammalia, Eutheria... High Horned Antelope, Chordata, Mammalia, Artiodactyla... African Wild Dog, Chordata, Carnivora... Gene Ratio: Ero Wolf 76%... High Horned Antelope 4%, African Wild Dog 7%, Husky 2%..."
Looking at the dense experimental report in his hand, Zhang Xiaoman sighed slightly. Such technical work should be left to the professionals; it was all gibberish to him.
Flipping a few more pages, besides some detailed experimental processes, there were also numerous observation logs after the modifications.
From these, it was clear that these animals led very miserable lives, confined in cages, enduring all kinds of cruel experiments, living in fear and perpetual darkness.
Eventually, they were taken in fear to the experimental table, dissected, modified, and turned into ugly and ferocious monsters.
He shook his head lightly, feeling helpless. Although he pitied these creatures, now that they had become monsters, he couldn’t possibly show mercy, which would only harm more people.
So, all he could do was help them find release.
After all, even Jiu Jiu was unable to purify those monsters that were completely infected.
Zhang Xiaoman packed away the experimental report and casually summoned a few Star Guards to help him look for similar items in the base, while he approached the stone block.
Touching it lightly, he felt an icy coldness.
He tried to activate the ability of the Eye of the Starry Sky to absorb, but disappointingly, it still did not yield any points.
Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze paused slightly, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly exerted force, unleashing a Mountain Shattering Technique, shattering the stone in front of him.
He activated the Eye of the Starry Sky again, but the result was the same as before, with no reaction.
"Still no points... seems like my Eye of the Starry Sky indeed cannot absorb the essence within objects..."
Zhang Xiaoman said, frowning.
According to normal logic, Alien Species that come directly from an Other Dimension, all have points provided.
However, there are exceptions to this situation, such as the Desert Worms. After the original Desert Worms from the Other Dimension have reproduced, the subsequent Insect Second Generation is unable to provide points.
This situation is also true for those Mutants just now.
According to Zhang Xiaoman’s speculation, there are only three possibilities for this phenomenon.
The first possibility is that the black stone is not a product of fusion from the Other Dimension, but rather something that originally exists on Water Blue Star, so naturally, it can’t absorb Essence.
The second possibility is that the piece of stone in front of us is fundamentally different from those corpses; it inherently cannot provide points, much like the Touching Spirit Flower, Sun Flower, and other items that the System cannot absorb.
As for the third possibility, it is the one he least wants to encounter.
That is to say, the black stone in front of us, like the Insect Second Generation and the Mutants, is also like a derivative existence, and behind it, there might be an even higher-level entity.
"For now, the second possibility seems most likely... But regardless, as long as it’s not the third situation, it should be fine..."
Zhang Xiaoman muttered softly, his face showing a hint of worry.
"Hmm, but now there’s another issue, what should I do with the stone fragments here."
He looked at the things on the ground, since he couldn’t absorb them, and these stones could affect normal life forms, whether they hold any research value if brought back.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.
Not to mention that doing this would be too dangerous, it’s also likely that his people would not be able to research it upon bringing it back.
After all, it’s not anything on the biological level but an Extraordinary Item, and if there were research to be done, it would have to be done by him, a Transcendent.
Moreover, after bringing it back, he wasn’t even sure where to place it, and if it were accidentally seen by someone when he’s not around, the consequences could be very serious.
The Star Alliance is his main base, which must not suffer any breaches.
In the end, after much consideration, he decided to first bring this thing back to the Original Realm; at least there, for the time being, there are no other people, and he can safely store it.
"Jiu!"
As he pondered, the Jiu Jiu on his shoulder suddenly chirped, and then chattered something to Zhang Xiaoman.
"Oh? You mean, you can purify the aura on this stone?"
Jiu Jiu nodded vigorously.
Zhang Xiaoman thought about it and said, "Alright then, you try to see if you can do it, but leave a piece for me, I’ll take it back just in case it’s needed in the future."
He said this also because he wanted to see what these stones would turn into after being purified by Jiu Jiu.
Jiu Jiu happily responded and then flew in front of those stone fragments, emitting bursts of light from its body, beginning to purify the things on the ground.
The whole procedure was just like the earlier purification of the contamination inside Weiss; only the process took much longer, taking several minutes to complete.
The red patterns disappeared, and looking at the stone fragments that had returned to their normal appearance, Zhang Xiaoman frowned.
If the contaminated aura on this stone could be purified by Jiu Jiu, then it’s very likely that the stone itself is not problematic.
The question now is, what caused it to become like this.
The ominous speculation in his mind surfaced once again, and Zhang Xiaoman’s expression became more solemn.
Things seemed to be developing in the direction he least wished to see.
He sighed and squatted down to pick up a few stone fragments, intending to take them back for the researchers to see.
Since the red patterns have already been purified, the remaining fragments should pose no problem when taken back. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Even if an accident occurred, he had Jiu Jiu with him, who could rescue those people instantly.
He also ordered Star Guard to check the base and took all the research materials that were found and collated them. After that, Zhang Xiaoman summoned a small Fire Python to raze the place to the ground.
