Chapter 75 Monster Mutation
Chu Qiuchi carefully examined the demonic scorpion's demonic pattern crystal core in his hand, trying to discover its differences from other crystal cores.
"As far as I know, the Poison Scorpion clan's innate skills are all offensive; I've never heard of them having any support skills."
Nalan Xingyao frowned slightly, pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then firmly shook her head.
"I have never heard of the Poison Scorpion possessing any support-type talent skills."
Chu Yichen stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "There's definitely something wrong here, and it's a big problem. There must be some secret we don't know about."
Puyang Minghui thought for a moment and then suggested, "Why don't we go and ask General Jimo?"
Chu Qiuchi's eyes lit up, her eyebrows curved into a smile.
“Our Minghui is really clever, a good idea. Let’s leave here first and find a safe place so that Xiaoyuer can send a private message to General Jimo and invite him over.”
After Chu Qiuchi handed the magic crystal core to Nalan Xingyao, the group quickly moved to a new, secluded location. Ji Moyu immediately sent a magical telepathic message to Ji Mohan and then patiently waited for his arrival.
Upon receiving Ji Moyu's message, Ji Mohan immediately set off. He was not far away to begin with and had previously sensed the magical fluctuations of the battle. However, since the fluctuations were not intense, he did not come to investigate.
Ji Mohan stared intently at Ji Moyu, his brows furrowed, and asked anxiously, "Is what you mentioned in your letter true? Where is the magic crystal core of that poisonous scorpion? Let me see it quickly."
Nalan Xingyao immediately took out the magic-patterned crystal core from her mental space and handed it to Ji Mohan.
Ji Mohan took the crystal core, his expression solemn. "Tell me the details of what happened back then."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Nalan Xingyao immediately recounted the battle scene in detail, while the others added details from time to time.
As Ji Mohan listened, he carefully examined the magic-patterned crystal core in his hand. His gaze was like a sharp blade, focused and profound, and as Nalan Xingyao narrated, his expression gradually became more and more somber.
After a long while, Ji Mohan finally broke the silence, "This venomous scorpion has indeed undergone a mutation! Its bloodline has shown a subtle evolution."
He held the crystal core and pointed to a tiny pattern, "Look here, there's a faint magic rune here."
Upon hearing this, everyone crowded forward to examine it closely and indeed discovered a subtle pattern. This pattern was cleverly hidden on top of another pattern, and it was easily overlooked if one did not look carefully.
Ji Mohan put the crystal core into his mental space, his expression becoming extremely serious. He solemnly said, "This matter is of great importance. It is currently unclear how many magical beasts can undergo such an evolution. I must begin investigating immediately."
He paused, his gaze sharp and fixed on each person present. "The challenges ahead depend on yourselves! Can you handle it?"
Chu Qiuchi and the others exchanged glances, their gazes resolute.
"can!"
Ji Mohan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He briefly said to everyone, "Be careful," and then his figure quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving in a hurry.
Watching Ji Mohan's retreating figure, a trace of worry flashed across Ji Moyu's eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Qiuchi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, General Jimo is highly skilled; he'll be fine!"
"Ok!"
Seeing that Ji Moyu had withdrawn his gaze, Chu Qiuchi walked between Puyang Minghui and Nalan Xingyao and affectionately put his arm around their shoulders.
"Let's go, let's continue the mission. High-level magical beasts have very strong senses, we must be even more careful."
……
In the perilous forest, several agile figures darted about – it was Chu Qiuchi and her companions. Dozens of black eagles swooped down overhead, closely following them.
Chu Qiuchi ran and cursed as he panted heavily.
"These damn Cloud-Piercing Eagles, when will they ever stop? They've been chasing us for three days now."
Chu Yichen replied helplessly as he ran, "Isn't it because you accidentally crushed a few bird eggs when you went to check on the chicks, and got your scent on them? That's why they're chasing after us. Just hang in there, the scent will dissipate in another half day."
After saying that, the group could only resign themselves to their fate and continue running wildly.
Finally, as dusk fell and night descended, the relentless black eagle seemed to have lost its target. After circling in the sky for a long time, it flapped its wings and flew away.
The group slowed their pace, collapsing to the ground, utterly exhausted, like lifeless corpses. Apart from their chests heaving with each breath, the rest of their bodies remained motionless; they were truly at their wits' end.
After a good, deep breath, I finally regained some of the strength to speak.
Chu Qiuchi smiled smugly, his face radiating the glow of a victor.
"In the end, we won! We still have the Blood Bat Clan and the Three-Eyed Demon Boar Clan to investigate. Once we finish investigating them, this mission will be successfully completed!"
Puyang Minghui's eyes were glazed over, her body utterly exhausted, and her voice hoarse as she slowly said, "I miss my bed!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi's smile instantly froze, followed by a look of utter dismay. "Oh right, why didn't we bring a bed? Not even a hammock! What a blunder, what a blunder!"
Chu Yichen thought for a moment, his eyes widening as if he had just realized this. He was stunned, patted his forehead, and felt extremely annoyed.
"Yes, why do we only think about sleeping under the open sky when we come to the forest? We have a mental space, so we can definitely bring a bed! A hammock would also work!"
All of them were inexperienced and going out on their own for the first time, so they hadn't considered this point at all.
However, sleeping in a bed at night is indeed too ostentatious and offers poor privacy, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to take it out occasionally to rest and enjoy some comfort.
Chu Yichen waved his hand dismissively, "Arrange it, arrange it as soon as we get back!"
Ji Moyu lay quietly on the ground, the sounds of her companions' conversation echoing in her ears, but her thoughts drifted far away.
These past few days, he had sent magical messages to his father, but had not received a reply. He couldn't help but worry, wondering how his father's investigation was progressing.
