1061: Chapter 33: The Magical Valley [Second Update] 1061: Chapter 33: The Magical Valley [Second Update] As expected, Jia Yan was spot on.
When the Chaos Fruit arrived here with Jia Yan, the grey ore under the control of his brainwave power burst into an even more intense glow, as if resonating with its companions ahead.
The entire valley was permeated with scents that attracted Jia Yan!
As for the Chaos Fruit, emitting brilliance throughout the entire valley was nothing new; it glanced back at Jia Yan and, with a call and without much change in emotion, continued to lead him forward.
âGaga!â
Just as Jia Yan also took a step forward, a small squad of the Chaos Fruit hidden outside the valley, despite their fear of the terrifying aura of the Big Mosquito, cried out in unison and charged out.
The strength of Jia Yan was well understood by these Chaos Fruit.
Being natives of this planet, they had absolute knowledge of the strength of the strong ones.
Jia Yan, although previously unseen, exuded a power that undoubtedly surpassed the ordinary monsters of their species on this planet.
They felt fear in their hearts, but now, charged with guarding the sacred land of the Chaos Fruit, they showed not the slightest notion of retreat!
âGagagaga!â The twenty-some Chaos Fruit that rushed out, with horns like those of a bull atop their heads, pointed at the Chaos Fruit leading Jia Yan, bellowing and screaming as if they were reproaching it for bringing Jia Yan into their territory.
And the Chaos Fruit guiding Jia Yan also let out a loud call, gesticulating towards the Chaos Fruit under Jia Yanâs control as if trying to explain something.
However, its explanations were unpopular.
Even though Jia Yan didnât understand the language of these Chaos Fruit, he knew that their actions were incorrectâbringing an external strong one into their own speciesâ territory.
He would certainly have blamed this Chaos Fruit for being a clear âLeague Guideâ!
Embarrassingly, Jia Yan himself was playing the role of the bad guy who forced the other to guide him.
Likely, he would be regarded as a devil by this species.
Of course, he didnât care.
As long as he could achieve his goal, Jia Yan was willing to do whatever it took!
âGagagaga!â One Chaos Fruit, failing to reason with its guiding companion, launched an attack.
The Chaos Fruit that had brought Jia Yan, though also of Sky Level, had previously lost that piece of grey âdead head,â and its strength had greatly regressed.
Coupled with the fact it didnât seem like a combat-type Chaos Fruit, it wasnât possible now to resist its dozens of combat-type brethren!
Puh!
Resigned to its fate, the Chaos Fruit faced its kinâs charging horn.
Without avoidance, it would be directly pierced to death!
But before that could happen, a black âShadowâ of incredible speed, just in time, interposed itself in front!
The attacking Chaos Fruit felt its assault blocked by an unmovable and terrifying presence.
A fierce counter-shock force coursed through its body, and it was violently knocked back five or six steps!
That black projectile which had flown so swiftly turned out to be one of Jia Yanâs forelimbs.
Truthfully, Jia Yan didnât have to protect that Chaos Fruit.
However, he wasnât that kind of existence; even if he could wreak havoc for his own benefit, if the other party posed no threat to him, he would still show the side of a strong one whose word was their bond.
âHoho!â The combat Chaos Fruits behind him, one after another, like strong external creatures, bellowed terrifyingly and charged towards Jia Yan.
As for the Chaos Fruit that Jia Yan protected, it called out something akin to a plea to Jia Yan, as if begging for mercy for its own kind.
The sparkle in Jia Yanâs Compound Eyes flickered faintly.
Then, after a series of âpuh puh puh puhâ sounds in the dark, several Chaos Fruits were struck aside by Jia Yanâs forelimbs without any possibility of resistance.
Jia Yan had held back; the Chaos Fruits fell to the ground one by one, yet they werenât seriously injured.
âGaga.â The League Guide Chaos Fruit looked at the unharmed Chaos Fruit squad and let out a grateful cry towards Jia Yan.
Afterwards, it continued to lead Jia Yan forward.
The other Chaos Fruits behind them could not move and could only watch as Big Mosquito walked on with indifferent steps, slowly proceeding into the valley.
This was a valley about fifty kilometers in size, where squads of Chaos Fruit were patrolling.
The Chaos Fruit leading Jia Yan carefully circumvented these teams of its own kind.
It wasnât concerned for its own safety, but for the safety of the Chaos Fruit teams, because it had witnessed this monster behind it contend with a Venerable Three-headed Monster from outside the world, even escaping from that terrifying being more than once.
Clearly, the strength of this monster was something their Chaos Fruit Race couldnât resist.
Of course, the proper name of the Chaos Fruit species couldnât possibly be Chaos Fruit, but since there was no way to communicate, it was natural to use this designation.
Besides, Jia Yan didnât want to communicate; after all, he was just there to collect those Grey Luminous Stones.
The guiding Chaos Fruit seemed to be somewhat familiar with the valley, leading the massive-bodied Jia Yan on a quiet trek, managing to evade detection by the Chaos Fruits.
Seeing that it didnât want to be noticed by other Chaos Fruits, Jia Yan, of course, cooperated by moving without making any noise.
If he wished, by using Brainwave Power, even walking right under their eyes, the other party might not have been able to detect him at all.
Mosquito also knew that no matter how well he was hiding now, he would eventually have to face the retaliation from the Chaos Fruit Race.
After all, his actions were not insignificant.
âThis valleyâŠ
from what I can tell, it seems a bit peculiar!â
As Mosquito followed the path forward, he observed his surroundings with a hint of surprise in his compound eyes.
Because to his compound eyes, the reflection of the valleyâeven though it was a vast fifty kilometersâseemed to Mosquito somehow unnatural in shape!
It was as ifâŠ
this entire so-called valley vaguely resembled a monster!
âItâs impossible, how could there be such a huge monster in the world, fifty kilometers in size?
Thatâs almost the size of a small asteroid.
Only a Stellar Level Monster could possibly be that large, right?
Besides, I donât feel any trace of life, itâs probably just coincidentally similar to a biological form!â Mosquito found his wild thoughts ridiculous.
He had never seen a Stellar Level Monster; could it be that he would just happen to encounter one here?
Moreover, this was simply an immobile valley after all.
The fifty-kilometer expanse of the valley did indeed somewhat resemble a creature.
However, at this moment, the valley, which looked like a monster lying prone, had its entire forelimb section hollowed outâsurely the masterpiece of the Chaos Fruit Race over countless years!
Crack.
They avoided several waves of the Chaos Fruit teams and came to a small mine entrance.
âGaga!â The Chaos Fruit made a cacophony of noises at Mosquito, and then swiftly slipped into the mine.
Mosquito understood and led the injured Chaos Fruit into the mine with him.
When Mosquito entered the interior of the mine, his compound eyes were instantly illuminated by the bright light before him!
The entire mining area was filled with chunks of Grey Luminous Stones that emanated light; these stones had not yet been excavated and were embedded in the walls of the cavern.
âThere are so many!â Mosquitoâs compound eyes were covered in the sight of Grey Luminous Stones, every single one appearing to be materials of strong attraction to him, potentially greatly beneficial to his future mutations!
âGaga!â The Chaos Fruit that had led Mosquito here now looked at him with a mournful expression.
Its gaze kept flickering to its unconscious companion, conveying an anxious demeanor.
âDo you want me to hand him over to you?â Mosquito quickly grasped the otherâs intentions.
After a momentâs thought, he handed over the unconscious Chaos Fruit, not believing that the other could escape under his watch.
When the Chaos Fruit, who had lost half its body, was brought before its companion, the guide laughed excitedly with a series of âgagas.â
It used its forelimbs to gently push the unconscious friend.
âHmm?â Mosquito was about to start collecting the embedded Grey Luminous Stones when his gaze subtly shifted.
He saw the unconscious Chaos Fruit being pushed onto an exposed Grey Luminous Stone.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded!
Puff, puff, puff!
Beneath the unconscious Chaos Fruit, the Light Stone slowly faded in color, and its surface brilliance gradually dimmed.
The Chaos Fruit, in just a moment, experienced rapid growth of flesh that nearly mirrored the speed of being reborn and quickly repaired its body!
âSo the Chaos Fruitâs self-healing ability is this âabnormal,â far surpassing even my own!
But it seems they can only use these Grey Luminous Stones to heal,â Mosquito felt increasingly puzzled.
He knew well that there were many different species in the universe, and there were often symbiotic species living beside sources of powerful energy.
Some were ordinary creatures that lived beside special minerals for countless generations, gradually becoming symbiotically linked with the minerals; others like the Evolutionary Creatures, mutated and relied on minerals to survive, reality was often filled with many such truths.
It appeared the Chaos Fruit was one of these!
Seeing its companion gradually recover, the guide seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then it moved its duck-shaped mouth around haphazardly until it reached a gleaming Grey Luminous Stone and, astonishingly, swallowed it whole!
Its strength surged explosively in an instant, almost immediately returning to the state Mosquito had first seen it in before it vomited the Grey Luminous Stone.
âHow marvelous!â Mosquito watched, dumbfounded, exclaiming at the vastness of the universe and the strangeness it contained.
Yet, he did not forget his own goal.
At this moment, his eight limbs moved, starting to excavate the surrounding gray ore!
âThey sure are hard!â Mosquito remarked with a bit of surprise after a while.
