Chapter 1317 - 1317 Retreat Too

1317 Retreat Too

Be it its appearance or the special energy fluctuation emitted from inside, the ball dug out of this wolf’s body was clearly its core.

However, Chu Nan remembered very clearly that this wolf was not powerful. According to the situation of his battle, it could at most be considered a C-rank beast.

According to the introduction of the classification of ferocious beasts in the “Pan Milky Way Ferocious Beast Encyclopedia”, C-rank ferocious beasts were not strong enough. Apart from an extremely few types of ferocious beasts, it was very difficult to condense a core in their bodies.

However, now, not only had this wolf condensed a core, but the size of the core was almost comparable to a child’s fist. It could be said to be quite large. This completely went against common sense.

What was even stranger was that the energy fluctuation emitted from this core was a little different from the cores Chu Nan had come into contact with previously. It was not very intense, but the frequency of the fluctuation was extremely high. Moreover, it was a little chaotic, causing it to be very difficult to believe that this was the energy fluctuation emitted by a ferocious beast’s core.

“Let me see.” Chu Nan stretched out his hand and gestured to Dorek.

“Here.” Dorek threw it to Chu Nan indifferently.

As soon as Chu Nan received it, he was shocked.

The weight of this core was actually much heavier than it looked. Such a fist-sized core actually weighed more than three kilograms.

This was not the thing that surprised Chu Nan the most. What really surprised him was that as soon as the core entered his hand, he clearly felt the intense energy fluctuation coming from it. The core itself retracted and released like biological breathing as if it was still alive.

With a thought, Chu Nan activated his Internal Breath and penetrated the core. It instantly stimulated the energy fluctuation of this core to become extremely violent, causing the surrounding frozen and sticky spatial energy to instantly fluctuate violently.

A powerful purple light exploded. After two breaths, it quickly disappeared.

As the light faded, the surrounding intense spatial energy immediately calmed down. The core in Chu Nan’s palm completely shriveled and lost its previous luster. Now, it looked like rotten meat.

Looking at the rapid change in cell tissue on the surface of the core, Chu Nan turned around and threw it to Angie Prairie.

“Let’s study it.”

“Alright.”

Angie Prairie happily took the core and activated her cultivation method. A milky white light enveloped the core, but it did not stimulate it as intensely as Chu Nan had earlier. Instead, it seeped in bit by bit and carefully analyzed.

This was an alternative use of the Flame of Life cultivation method. One could rely on their reaction to deduce the various information in the target cell tissue, and even the deepest genetic information.

According to the explanation given by Angie Prairie, Supremacy Oville had developed the Flame of Life cultivation method back then to help her study biological genes. However, later on, as her research deepened, the stronger quality of this cultivation method became more and more obvious. It was a pleasant surprise.

Angie Prairie had relied on this special cultivation method to discover that the genetic information of the special ferocious beasts the two of them had encountered was a little strange.

Now that he had encountered an even stranger mutated beast, he naturally had to analyze it.

Seeing that Angie Prairie was focused on studying, Chu Nan turned to Dorek and asked, “Does this special core represent that this wolf is a mutated beast?”

“Yes, the cores of these guys are even more… turbid and unstable. The quality is much worse than the cores of the ordinary ferocious beasts outside.” Chu Nan nodded.

“That’s right.” Dorek nodded in agreement, “Therefore, although these guys have cores, they’re not attractive to us. They can’t be sold for money.”

Chu Nan glanced at the many ferocious beast corpses still left in the valley and thought to himself that these cores could not be said to be completely meaningless.

The moment this wolf core erupted, Chu Nan clearly felt the special energy structure inside. If he could find more and let him feel it for a period of time, he might have hope of successfully analyzing it. This would allow him to have a deeper understanding of how the ferocious beasts and mutated beasts in the Endless Abyss used the spatial energy in this space and hope that he could successfully mobilize the spatial energy in this special space.

However, there was no need to say this. Chu Nan kicked the wolf that had long been dismembered by Dorek and asked, “Are there still many mutated beasts like it?”

“It depends on where you are.” Dorek shrugged. “Mina just said that under normal circumstances, so many mutated beasts should not appear on the 19th floor, let alone Ann Period. However, now… it’s clearly not a normal situation.”

At this point, Dorek turned to ask Mafaan, “Hey, boss, what should we do next? Should we continue?”

Mafaan frowned and pondered for a moment before waving his hand.

“No, the situation in the Endless Abyss is a little abnormal. From the situation of us actually encountering so many mutated beasts just now, perhaps… a beast tide will appear…”

“Beast tide!” Not only Dorek, but the others in the team also cried out in surprise. Only Old Nar was still affectionate and calm, unmoved.

“Boss, you’re not joking, right?!” Dorek asked loudly in surprise, “It’s a regular period now. There’s actually a beast tide?”

“This is not strange.” Mafaan shook his head with a serious expression, “There has never been any pattern in the appearance of the beast tide in the Endless Abyss. In the past, it was not like there was no regular appearance of the beast tide. It was still very rare. The last time it happened should have been more than 30 years ago. It’s normal that you don’t know.”

“36 years,” Old Nar suddenly added in a muffled voice.

“Yes, 36 years ago. One of Old Nar’s arms was lost in that beast tide.”

Everyone’s gazes landed on Old Nar. Only then did Chu Nan notice that his right arm looked thinner than his left arm. His exposed right palm also emitted a faint metal luster and should be another mechanical arm installed.

“Although it’s a pity, we have to retreat since there might be a beast tide. If we continue to stay here, we might really die,” Mafaan said in a low voice.

“But it was not easy for us to reach the 19th floor…” Dorek could not help but mutter.

“Remember, only by protecting your life can you have hope of continuing to explore the Endless Abyss!”

Mafaan reprimanded Dorek with a straight face before asking Chu Nan, “I suggest that you retreat immediately. Otherwise, if you encounter a beast tide, you won’t be able to escape death no matter how strong you are.”
