Chapter 1438: Chapter 695: Bizarre Flower! _2
If the dimensional world truly holds resources beneficial to humans, Beast Controlling Force, and the Sea Clan, collaboration among the three factions to jointly develop the dimensional world is almost inevitable.
âLittle Wood, youâve just arrived at the Han Yang Empire. Shall we take a moment for you to rest first?â
âWe can depart once youâre fully rested!â
Fang Mu shook his head at the suggestion.
âAunt Dai, Elder Shu sent me here via teleportation. Iâm in excellent condition. We can directly enter the dimensional world through this passage for exploration!â
âOur main objective for this dimensional world exploration is to figure out its terrain and map the area centered around the entrance.â
Lian Dai quickly responded upon hearing Fang Muâs objective.
âLittle Wood, drawing a map in an unfamiliar environment is not an easy task. I believe we should arrange for additional manpower.â
âHow about I dispatch a few trained reconnaissance squads to enter the dimensional world alongside us? This will make mapping the area much easier.â
Fang Mu immediately replied.
âAunt Dai, weâve gleaned some information about the dimensional world through the Beast Controlling Force, but we cannot let down our guard.â
âSending these reconnaissance squads into the dimensional world to explore would only turn them into cannon fodder!â
âMy master has already equipped me with methods for exploration. We donât need manpower from the Sea Clan, nor should we let them sacrifice themselves unnecessarily!â
âOnce itâs truly confirmed that the dimensional world contains resources valuable to the Sea Clan, then it wouldnât be too late to dispatch their elite warriors into the dimensional world.â
Lian Daiâs expression shifted upon hearing Fang Muâs words. His remarks made her feel that Fang Mu genuinely cared about the Sea Clan.
Before Lian Dai could reply, Fang Mu took out a unique Spirit Capturing Box and said to her,
âAunt Dai, I need you to bear with me and stay inside this box for a while. This is so I can use an unconventional method to traverse through this passage.â
âIf you forcefully pass through this passage, I fear the spatial turbulence might harm you, which would hinder our upcoming exploration of the dimensional world.â
âThe dimensional world undoubtedly contains extremely high levels of pollution energy. Iâve heard the Beast Controlling Force could only explore the dimensional world for a maximum of five and a half days, even after employing several special techniques.â
âBut you have nothing to worry about regarding pollution energy when youâre by my side. We can stay in the dimensional world to explore for as long as we want!â
Lian Dai felt relieved after hearing Fang Muâs words. Her biggest concern was the harmful effects of pollution energy on Fang Mu.
With Lian Daiâs strength, she didnât need to worry about the effects of pollution energy on herself, but Fang Mu, being merely a Biprong Star Tamer, would risk his body getting corroded in a high pollution concentration for extended periods.
Lian Dai could shield Fang Mu with her aura to block the corrosive effects of the pollution energy.
However, if they encountered powerful extraterritorial creatures forcing her to leave Fang Muâs side, his safety would be unprotected.
Since Fang Mu had a means of clearing pollution energy, this was undoubtedly excellent news!
âLittle Wood, since you can neutralize pollution energy, my concerns are alleviated. During this exploration, as long as we donât encounter Godsâ Domain-level extraterritorial creatures on par with me in strength, weâll keep exploring.â
âOur goal is to thoroughly map out the surrounding routes and select an optimal location to establish a base in the dimensional world!â
âI have a Guardian Beast called Signal Space Screw Mother. Signal Space Screw Mothers can transmit messages across spatial barriers.â
Fang Mu, too, had entertained the idea of establishing a base within the dimensional world. He had considered planting Blue Curse Orchids there, but the chaotic spatial energy barriers of the dimensional world rendered communication with the orchids impossible.
Setting up a base there would sever all connections with the outside world, making it impossible to ensure the safety of those inside the base.
With Signal Space Screw Mothers, however, external communication could be maintained, enabling Fang Mu to stay informed about events inside the dimensional world.
This communication would greatly facilitate dimensional world exploration.
Before fully developing the dimensional world, only a few powerful individuals would need to be stationed at the base.
Even in case of danger, these individuals would be capable of evading extraterritorial creatures and waiting for rescue.
After placing Lian Dai inside the Spirit Capturing Box, Fang Mu activated the second Innate Divine Ability of Foolâs Shadow, [Virtual Body Wandering], to traverse the passage and enter the dimensional world.
Upon entering the dimensional world, Fang Mu found himself surrounded by a flood of extraterritorial creatures. These creatures sensed Fang Muâs presence, like starving cats encountering a fat fish.
The extraterritorial creatures surged toward Fang Mu, yet he did not immediately release Lian Dai. Instead, he infused his spiritual power to unleash over ten chain swords formed from Sacred Radiance Bone Fragments.
The seemingly soft chain swords were razor-sharp, effortlessly slicing these extraterritorial creatures into shreds.
Among these creatures, there were barely any A-class extraterritorial creatures, let alone S-class ones.
The extraterritorial creatures viewed Fang Mu as prey, while Fang Mu saw them as fodder.
With a lift of his hand, Fang Mu summoned Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle.
The aura of these two King-level extraterritorial creatures immediately intimidated the surrounding creatures, forcing them to cower submissively on the ground.
Even the few A-class extraterritorial creatures behaved similarly!
Seeing this large gathering of harmonious extraterritorial creatures, Fang Mu suddenly had a question in his mind: extraterritorial creatures can strengthen themselves by devouring one another, yet the ones before him showed no signs of mutual predation.
These A-class extraterritorial creatures, by leveraging their strength to consume lower-grade ones en masse, could quickly ascend to S-class.
The energy conversion rate from inter-consumption among extraterritorial creatures was highâsomething Fang Mu had verified through feeding extraterritorial embryos to Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle.
Here, however, apart from the ones Fang Mu hunted, no extraterritorial creatures had died. On Fang Muâs command, Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle began feasting on the low-tier creatures nearby.
Neither Tianyuan Qiongyan nor Swallow Gorge Waggle was picky with their food, yet these extraterritorial creatures, upon invading the Beastmaster world through this passage, initially coexisted harmoniously in the Sea of Domains.
Over time, however, these creatures began preying on and killing one another.
This led Fang Mu to speculation: if all these extraterritorial creatures originated from a meatball-like mother entity, then the mother entity likely implanted conditions preventing mutual predation among its progeny.
Otherwise, this phenomenon would be inexplicable!
Despite there being no extraordinary occurrences in this dimensional world, Fang Mu found it puzzling why extraterritorial creatures were gathering here en masse and continuously flowing through this passage.
Even with Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle releasing their intimidating aura, a steady stream of extraterritorial creatures continued to arrive.
Fang Mu carefully investigated the surroundings and discovered three bizarre, deep-purple flowers blooming nearby.
These three flowers had no leaves and sprawled like pancakes over the ground, each occupying approximately two square meters of space.
From the center of each flower grew a four-meter-long, yellowish-brown stamen that occasionally sprinkled pollen onto the ground.
The pollen corroded the ground, leaving behind numerous pits.
Since Fang Mu had activated Xi Xiâs Skill [Garbage Recycling] upon entering the dimensional world, no adverse environmental factors could penetrate within a ten-meter radius around him.
Thus, Fang Mu couldnât determine whether the three bizarre flowers emitted any scent.
However, his observations revealed that even under the intimidating aura of Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle, the extraterritorial creatures still gazed fixatedly at these three flowers.
Even Tianyuan Qiongyan and Swallow Gorge Waggle, while devouring the low-tier extraterritorial creatures, were noticeably distracted, seemingly drawn to the three flowers.
Fang Mu internally deduced that these three bizarre flowers were likely the culprits behind the creature tide.
