Chapter 364: The Winged Serpent Queen Evolves, the Evil Spirit Secret Realm of Silver City

Dachun kept shuttling over the battlefield, constantly recording one similar biological pattern after another to Mother Earth.

As the winner emerges, the patterns on its body will change. As for the losers, they may not die, and some may choose to escape.

Di Lian immediately noticed the change in one of the escapees: "Father, some of the lines on the loser's back have disappeared!"

Are there samples for losers too?
That would be even more busy. So, will the lines change after death?

Seeing that some losers were also running towards the Level 1 scrap star area, Dachun decisively contacted the Queen: "...Can you catch them alive?"

The Queen was stunned for a moment: "No."

Dachun asked again: "Can we leave a body?"

“It can be used as food storage!”

"Then store it first..."

That doesn't make sense. Where could she store it? Or did she activate the Mother Goddess of Plenty and desertify another planet?
But there was no time to think about it, Dachun continued to move around the field under Dilian's guidance.

Soon, news came from the queen: "We caught one, very weak!"

Is it possible that the name of the Fish God, a gift from nature to you, is too powerful?
Dachun asked, "Are you confident that you can handle a stronger opponent?"

The Queen said, "We need to find a few stronger ones to practice with."

"Makes sense!"

After more than an hour, there were less than 10 left on the battlefield. From the initial hundreds of them fighting each other, the number was halved again and again. The winners had already advanced 4 times, and even the losers had advanced 3 times!

The Queen caught a runner who had advanced three times on the periphery. Her tone was filled with excitement: "Very weak!"

Is it possible that every time you kill someone, you become stronger?

Finally, only the champion and runner-up remained! The sheer size of these last two clearly demonstrated the dominance of the strongest.

Dachun had already contacted the Queen and arranged an ambush in advance. The Queen also gained confidence and decisively took up her position to ambush behind a small star in the distance!
Then let’s wait for the results of these two!

The fight was evenly matched, and as they pounded from one planet to another, Dachun was completely exhausted and had no mana left to maintain the Space Fire. He had no choice but to find a place to hide, observe, and recover. Then, he began to feel sleepy...

Finally, a scream woke up the sleepy Dachun!
The winner was decided! The champion pierced the loser's breastplate and devoured its core, the patterns on his carapace glowing metallically.

The excited voice of the Earth Mother came from the Eye of Dibiron: "Go and record the lines quickly..."

At the same time, at this moment, the queen's scream came roaring!

What a great opportunity to pick up a bargain!
Dachun was recording while looking forward to it with full enthusiasm.

But the imagined one-sidedness did not appear. The Queen and the Champion entered into a tangle of battles, smashing from one planet to another. The Champion did not show any signs of exhaustion at all!
Dachun panicked. "Ma'am, this champion is nothing more than an egg that just surfaced two hours ago, right? Even though it's evolved five or six times, how could it be beaten to this by a rune-enhanced adult winged snake?"

Mother Earth was also quite amazed: "It seems that void creatures are truly magical. It's a little hard to believe unless you see it with your own eyes. They're not even mentioned in books."

Damn it, please don’t express this kind of academic sentiment while watching a show!

Dachun was a little anxious: "What if Winged Snake is in trouble? How can I help?"

Mother Earth said solemnly, "I suggest not helping! I've discovered that this Void Cockroach's advancement isn't due to gaining immense energy, as it simply doesn't have much time to devour the defeated. It can only be explained by a surge of confidence that has unleashed its potential. Conversely, those defeated who escaped weren't necessarily fatally injured, but they were incredibly weak. This must also be due to a collapse of courage and confidence, which also led to changes in the lines. These significant changes in the lines have given me a breakthrough in cracking their runes!"

Dachun understood: "So, if I help Winged Snake, Winged Snake won't have similar confidence and won't be able to truly become stronger?"

"That's what it means!"

Dachun still felt something was wrong: "But the runner-up who just died has already produced a crystal core, and it was swallowed by the champion. The champion not only strengthens confidence, but also replenishes energy, right?"

Mother Earth said, "Then let her escape. As the weakest race in the void, running away is her instinct and strength, right?"

"What if I can't even escape?"

"Then go and try to help."

What else could he try? Space Fire transformed into a stealthy rocket, charging forward. Astrology activated "Predictive Attack," launching a barrage of deadly blows and critical hits, all while evading them. Meanwhile, Earth Lotus' roots entwined him, protecting him and absorbing him... As for where to attack, the opponent was covered in heavy armor, with only the eyes to target? Then, lunge at the eyeballs and gouge them out... That was the only way.

Speaking of astrology, Dachun suddenly felt that this skill could not predict victory or defeat, and it was not mysterious at all.

While Dachun was waiting, the situation of the Winged Serpent Queen seemed to be not good. What the hell, she really couldn't beat him?

Dachun immediately contacted the Eye of the Void: "Can we escape?"

The Queen's reply was clearly filled with fear: "So... strong..."

Damn it! When your confidence is about to collapse, you may even lose the strength to escape.

Dachun must take action now, launch the Space Fire! Prediction attack begins! Target, the eyeball!

Dachun contacted the Queen again: "I'll pierce its eyes, you figure out a way—"

Perhaps it was the opponent's fighting instinct. When Dachun broke in from the alien space, the champion suddenly closed his eyes - just like the steel curtain suddenly falling from the armored car window, Dachun's hand knife set and the warrior chopped it down heavily, clang clang clang!

- Astrology Tip: The target's resistance to explosions far exceeds your critical strike rate. If your critical strike rate is 0, your predicted attack cannot deliver a critical strike in advance. If the target is in good condition, your predicted attack cannot strike its weak spot in advance.

Holy crap! It turns out astrology is useless as long as the opponent is impeccable!
Although there is still the power of chaos that can break its defense, the problem now is not to chip it, but to stand firm with all your strength and never be thrown out by it! If thrown out, it will definitely kill you!
"Earth Lotus, entangle!"

"Father, got it!"

Two streams of purple light suddenly burst out from Dachun's feet, and the light streams instantly turned into roots that wrapped around the champion's forelimbs and various shell protrusions!
The next moment, the champion obviously realized the threat from Dachun, and began to roll forcefully in an attempt to throw Dachun away, but at this time the queen cooperated with all her strength and suddenly wrapped around him, instantly offsetting the champion's throwing force!

But even so, Dachun still felt a strong sense of "launching"! He felt like an arrow with a rubber band stretched to its limit, about to be shot out!

Although he failed to throw Dachun out, the champion was still able to forcibly suppress the Winged Snake and make it roll on the ground. Dachun's screen began to spin again!
This is so dizzy, there is no way to operate it!

"Earth Lotus..."

"Father, I'm coming..."

Although Dachun didn't seem to have any effect, the Queen seemed to have gained confidence: "Hold on..."

Ah!? She came to encourage me?

That's right! Perhaps a weaker creature like her just needs help; the more help, the more confident she becomes.

Dachun immediately felt that he had played a significant role. At least his nausea had disrupted the champion's rhythm and made it afraid to open its eyes! Furthermore, he and the queen were a team by default, and the combination of Grandmaster-level modules would also give her a bonus, making her fight even smoother...

As expected, as the battle progressed, the Queen's advantage became more and more obvious!

Until, with a muffled howl, the champion was strangled and fluid spurted out from front and back, and his body exploded and died!

System prompt: Congratulations! The battle is over! You've gained a significant amount of combat experience and reached level 61. Your Grandmaster-level module combination has enhanced your team's combat capabilities, significantly increasing your proficiency. You've gained the trust of the Winged Serpent Queen, and your leadership has increased by 50...

Won!

Even though I was just a supporting role, I was able to get a full level of experience directly. The technical content of this supporting role is extremely high!
At this time, Mother Earth said excitedly: "She ate the crystal core of the Void Cockroach. Quickly observe the changes in her lines!"

Dilian replied, "Got it!"

At this moment, the Winged Serpent's body suddenly expanded! Its entire body was ablaze with light and shadow. Not only did the newly transformed patterns emit a metallic luster, but the dozens of runes of nature's gift previously carved on it also glowed!
But the Winged Serpent Queen didn't hesitate for a moment. She grabbed the champion's body and pushed it into the air, saying excitedly, "Bring it back to the child to eat!"

Of course Dachun had to follow suit and continued to boast shamelessly: "I will protect you!"

The Queen said in a pleasant voice: "You are directly on my back!"

"Okay!" Mother Earth reminded, "Don't just ride. Always pay attention to the changes in the patterns."

Dachun was quite excited: "I know! Ma'am, with so many samples, can there be a research breakthrough?"

Mother Earth smiled and said, "Of course it will. It will take some time to summarize the evolution."

Fortunately, there is no gravity in the void. As long as there is a push, even the champion's huge body can quickly reach a star that is slightly larger than the previous one in the level 1 scrap area.

Then I saw a large pool of sand on the surface of the planet.

The queen screamed, and the little winged snake immediately poked its head out of the sand and screamed excitedly.

Dachun sighed inwardly. The disparity between the Level 1 scrap zone and the Level 2 zone was truly enormous. They were both cubs, but one had runes carved into it to aid it, yet it still depended on its mother. Meanwhile, the other, through mutual slaughter, grew rapidly... Imagine how powerful the Level 3 scrap zone must be.

The Fleeing Void Electrocutter I defeated earlier was at least a Level 3 creature, right? Level 3, absolutely no way!

Dachun suddenly remembered the ground thorn that Siren had encountered in the underground dark sea. Could it also be a fugitive? If so, then this sea spirit was not very good.

Finally, as the mother and son dug the sand together, the champion's huge body was buried in the sand.

The Winged Serpent Queen let out a long sigh: "I feel... too tired, I must rest. Can you help me protect the child?"

It is indeed different from the cockroach that becomes more and more courageous as the battle goes on.

Dachun agreed decisively: "No problem!"

Unless there is a breakthrough in the study of Mother Earth, there is little point in continuing the exploration, which would be tantamount to seeking death.

Dachun was also tired, so he told Dilian: "It's up to you now. You must be patient and careful to protect it."

"I know, Father."

Dachun switched back to his main account. At this time, the lights in the mining area were still dim and bright, and the sounds of mining could be heard one after another.

And Ailian actually took advantage of this opportunity to sit in her wheelchair and read the treasure appraisal book leisurely.

Very good. Even in a strange environment, you can still have such a learning attitude. This is the realm.

Dachun looked at the time. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the game was 4 o'clock in the morning, so it was almost dawn.

Okay, I'll take a nap and wait until dawn to see if they are still there.

……

5: AM Golden Continent Time.

The Silver Fleet remained on alert and searched for the enemy all night but failed, so they returned to the Silver Wharf.

For Sariel, it was another all-nighter, but fortunately, he was in a good mood. According to Metatron's speculation, if the Pirate King's Sea Overlord was indeed limited by the recovery of its magic crystal energy core, then the time of its next deployment could already be calculated. By then, he could gather the Golden Empire's fleet in advance and encircle and destroy it in one fell swoop.

Before logging off to sleep, Sariel still had a thorn in his heart: "Master Priest, shall we go to the mine dungeon to interrogate the Pirate King's movements?"

Actually, Sariel wanted to beat Dachun to pieces to vent his anger, but he didn't dare to go alone. He wanted to see what Remya's attitude was. If she didn't agree, then forget it. If she agreed -

Remia said, “Alright!”

Sariel's heart twitched!
If she agreed, it would mean that she valued Dachun very much! This is not right, it would only increase Remya's interaction with him!

Perhaps the best solution is to hand Dachun over to the Gem City Prison! Yes, immediately! But first, cripple him.

After sending the mermaid, who had nothing to do for a night, back to the Aquarium to settle down, Sariel and Remiah came to the abandoned mining area again.

The Silver Demon team was sleeping around the fire, and they were immediately embarrassed when they saw the two men arrive: "Ah, Bishop, good morning!"

Sariel breathed a sigh of relief. With Remiah around, they were indeed well behaved—no, the cell door was wide open!

Sariel was anxious: "Where is the prisoner?"

Everyone's face immediately darkened: "Where is the prisoner? What is the prison number?"

Sariel choked: "You..."

Remia frowned: "Where are the others?"

One person helplessly pulled out something that looked like a magic crystal screen and said, "Sent him in to play with it, but he didn't move at all all night. Oh, how boring!"

Sariel was surprised: "Where is this?"

Remya said, "Sage, this is not something you can ask about within your current authority. You have worked hard this night. You should rest early. Please go back."

After saying that, he raised his hand and forcibly teleported Sariel back to the ground square!

Sariel was trembling with anger, his entire body in disbelief! I personally built this Silver City, yet there are secret realms I'm unaware of? There are territories I can't even intrude upon? This Shadow Demon Squad, seemingly rude to Remya, are actually her secret confidants?

Is this another secret behind-the-scenes move by those two Curries?

Sariel was angry: "Boss, is Boss up yet?"

The butler asked, "Mr. Sariel, it's still early. I need to report to Mr. Michael if there's anything."

Sariel had no choice but to send the video to the butler: "When the boss wakes up, have him go to Valhalla to interrogate Remya and find out what secrets she has..."

"Okay sir, please take some rest too."

Where can I sleep now...

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Dachun had just rested and finished the dinner brought by the young man, and there was indeed a change in the game. The lights, figures and mining sounds in the mine disappeared.

So it's gone by daybreak? Does that mean I have to investigate at daybreak?
At this moment, a flash of light appeared beside Dachun, and a transparent figure suddenly teleported to his side!

Ailian and Dachun were shocked at the same time!
The transparent figure spoke, "It's me, Remya's reflection!"

Mirror image!? That's right, Dachun remembered that when he was exiled to Plague Island, Fafnir had also created a few mirror-image boatmen. However, Remia's mirror image was more refined, and except for being a little transparent, it was almost indistinguishable from the real person.

Dachun was a little excited: "What's the matter with Miss Remya coming here?"

Remya pushed the cart, pulled out a small part from the back, and crushed it with a snap: "You are being monitored by those guys up there, they're waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

What the hell!

Dachun asked in surprise, "I didn't go anywhere all night, where on earth is this place?"

Remya sighed, "A demonic mine that killed countless miners—it could be considered a scandal from the early days of Silver City's development. It's a secret, unknown to future generations. Since you're here, do you want me to take you for a look? If you're not interested, I'll send you back now, but you're not allowed to mention anything about this place to anyone else."

Ah... Is this really the correct way to do the task?
Now that Dachun had rested intermittently and was no longer tired, he was full of energy: "Since..."

Ailian suddenly spoke, her tone panicked: "Dear——"

Dachun was surprised: "What?"

Ailian said in a deep voice: “There’s something wrong with her, she seems to be an evil spirit!”

Holy shit! No way! She even unlocked the surveillance camera on the back of the chair, so it must have come from up there, right?
