Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Factions

The scenes of the Dream Battlefield, Baiyu had never fully understood.

Last time, he passed the trial of the Chongming Bird and obtained the Pupil of Chongming, but in the end, he still didn’t figure out the mechanism of the Dream Battlefield.

Logically speaking.

One should be able to choose other scenes.

However, among the scenes he could choose from, there had always been only the "Floating Cloud Mountain—City of No Fall" scene for the Chongming Bird trial.

This time, he unlocked a new scene.

Biological Evolution Breeding Room.

It seemed like a functional scene.

Completely different from the Floating Cloud Mountain—City of No Fall scene which had the Chongming Bird, this time, the scene didn’t require trials.

[Scene: Biological Evolution Breeding Room]

[Usage time: Unlimited]

[Identity: Researcher]

[Function: Rare and super rare creatures in the breeding room can be upgraded. As long as you gather the materials needed for upgrading, a more powerful creature can be nurtured.]

This is the main panel of the Biological Evolution Breeding Room.

On the side sub-panel, detailed information about the Blood Worm was already displayed.

[Blood Worm]

[Status: Maternal Juvenile Stage]

[Faction: Abyss]

[Abilities: Blood Sucking, Spirit Devouring, Split, Leader]

[Evolution Materials Needed: One ton of fresh flesh of any creature, ten grams of Ancient Mulberry Tree Leaves, five drops of Blood River Water]

The information on the maternal Blood Worm revealed a lot of information.

First, the faction column.

Baiyu clearly remembered that last time when he entered the Floating Cloud Mountain—City of No Fall, the guardian beast at the second level was a huge monster called the Ancient War Beast, and its faction was Myth.

The Chongming Bird was also part of the Myth faction.

"Could it be that the different factions among creatures represent their stance, or perhaps their relationships?"

Baiyu pondered.

All along, Exotic Beasts held significant hostility towards humans, and whenever there was a chance, they would try to break through the defenses of the Shelter and enter the Canglan Star.

The destruction of Japan was precisely because Exotic Beasts ran rampant.

However.

Is there also a division of factions among Exotic Beasts?

Even among the countless different races, could it be that they are not united and instead have faction differences?

Baiyu thought seriously about this issue and felt it was highly possible.

Otherwise, if Exotic Beasts and different races were of one mind, the Human Race would definitely be unable to resist such a mighty force.

He concentrated his consciousness on the words "Abyss."

Information feedback came immediately.

"Abyss’ Hostile Factions: Myth, Holy Sect."

"Abyss’ Allied Factions: Nine Prisons, Blood River."

A total of four factions, adding Abyss as the fifth, and Baiyu guessed there might be other factions as well.

But relying solely on his speculation, he couldn’t figure out.

Baiyu’s gaze shifted down once more, noticing the abilities column.

Blood Sucking: The Blood Worm can devour the enemy’s Blood Qi, weakening them. The maternal worm can devour its own Blood Qi for storage.

Spirit Devouring: The Blood Worm can devour the enemy’s Spirituality, weakening them. The maternal worm can devour its own Spirituality for storage.

Split: Each Blood Worm, after absorbing enough Blood Qi and Spirituality, can rapidly split and reproduce.

Leader: A unique ability of Lord Level Exotic Beasts, capable of controlling low-level Exotic Beasts of the same kind, and its own aura can exert a certain deterrent effect on other Exotic Beasts! Currently, it can control the number of Blood Worms: 100.

Four abilities.

Baiyu had seen them all on Kaz. This is also the main characteristic of the Devouring Fog.

Baiyu felt that if this thing could be nurtured, it would definitely be a significant aid. However, the method Kaz used by absorbing human Blood Qi and nurturing it with life merely utilized the maternal worm’s splitting ability, which shouldn’t be the proper way.

The right way to upgrade the maternal worm is according to the materials provided by the Breeding Room...

But.

Apart from the creature’s flesh, Baiyu hadn’t heard of the other two materials.

[The Biological Breeding Room can be accessed any time. The initial opening costs a hundred Points, and subsequent access does not consume Points.]

When Baiyu’s consciousness exited, he received such feedback in his mind.

After coming out from the Dream Battlefield, he returned to the scholar space.

On his task panel, besides the ever-present malicious Nightmare Task, a new Elite Level task appeared.

"Elite Level Difficulty: Extraordinary Biology is a discipline that reveals the essence of world creatures. In knowing, discovering, and researching creatures, you will gain new insights into the essence of life.

Requirements: Acquire three Rare Level creatures (1/3) or obtain detailed information about ten Rare Level creatures (1/10).

Reward: 500 points of Extraordinary Biology subject experience, one Rare Level lottery chance, and one specified creature evolution material."

This Elite Level task was quite generous.

Baiyu quietly accepted the task and then exited the scholar space. It had only been about ten minutes since he obtained the maternal Blood Worm, and Cang Yan was still gnawing on pine nuts on the sofa.

With a thought.

Baiyu summoned fifty Blood Worms from the villa’s laboratory. These Blood Worms floated in the air, appearing as tiny red dots, invisible to the naked eye.

Baiyu, possessing the Pupil of Chongming and Energy Perception, could see them clearly.

"Where are you going?"

Cang Yan, full and satiated, sprawled lazily on the sofa, asking with a dispirited look.

"Going to Lengfeng Park to buy the Bone Tempering Technique which I urgently need. You just stay at home, and feel free to breed another fifty Blood Worms. If you get hungry, ask Erin to make you something to eat. Don’t roam around aimlessly. Although there are Exotic Beast pets inside the Shelter, if you go out and get beaten to death by random sticks, I won’t have time to save you."

"Got it, got it, be quick and come back early."

Cang Yan waved its paw and lounged lazily up to the fourth floor of the villa.

Baiyu stepped out of the villa, flagged down an old-fashioned mechanical car, paid the fare, and headed straight for Lengfeng Park.

...

Lijiang Shelter is quite a sizable city.

However, compared to those large shelters, it is still far inferior.

Since it’s a city.

Basically, all the structures a city should have, the Shelter has them all. Even if small, it is well-equipped in essentials, that describes it perfectly.

Lengfeng Park.

This is a rather famous trading point in the Outer City.

In the Shelter, it’s not just Martial Artists, there are many ordinary people providing various services to Martial Artists and the Extraordinary, building the foundation of this city.

"There aren’t as many surveillance devices in the Outer City, and the role I can play is minimal, at most mobilizing Mechanical Patrol..." Yao Ji’s voice rang out in Baiyu’s earpiece.

"Yeah, if needed, I’ll let you know at any time."

Baiyu’s gaze turned towards the city.

The rows of houses on both sides quickly receded, and there were ordinary people on the street, as well as Martial Artists with robust Blood Qi carrying weapons, even Exotic Beast pets could be seen.

Soon.

Driving out from the mechanical gate of the Inner City pass, a bustling area gradually came into view.

Lengfeng Park was not cold at all.

On the contrary.

It was filled with bustling pedestrians and shops everywhere, along with all kinds of stalls, making it feel like one had stepped into a lively market.

Baiyu took out the contact address of that young man.

Lengfeng Park No. 156, Heartbreak Hotel.
