Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1776 A Hidden Gem (Two-in-One Chapter)

Huo Yushen took the portable data storage device, but unlike Xia Chujian, he didn't wait until he got back to look at it.

Instead, it is directly inserted into the interface of its own quantum optical brain watch carrier.

Soon, the data in the memory was read into his quantum optical brain watch.

Soon after, the synchronous analysis of this data was also projected onto the eyepiece display screen of his mech helmet.

Huo Yushen silently read the data.

"Target unit energy characteristics analysis: Exceeds the known biological database records, speculated to be a super-organism, possessing energy characteristics of both advanced insectoids and extraterrestrial ancient god's kin."

"Carapace structure scan: Hardness exceeds the records of known materials, suggesting it is a super-organism with an 83% probability. It also possesses the carapace hardness characteristics of a low-level insectoid nest builder and the biological characteristics of an extraterrestrial ancient god's kin."

"Force field frequency fluctuation record: No overflowing energy force field, it is speculated that the shell is intact and the unknown life form is still dormant."

But looking at the current state of the sea, Huo Yushen thought that something that was just sleeping should now be awakened.

Looking at the words "Advanced Zerg and Extraterrestrial Ancient Gods' Families" on the eyepiece display screen, he felt uneasy.

But I wasn't too scared.

Because he is now a Han-level gene evolver.

The battle against the advanced Zerg is now evenly matched.

However, it's hard to say about the ancient gods' offspring from beyond the realm.

Because their combat strength is too unbalanced.

Even though they are both from the ancient gods' offspring, some of them can't even defeat a 3S-level gene evolver.

However, some of the ancient gods' offspring from beyond the realms are capable of fighting against his mother, She Zhuyin.

Huo Yushen didn't know which ancient god's clan the being in the seabed belonged to.

Regardless of the type of entity, you must fight it once before you can determine your subsequent strategy.

Huo Yushen couldn't help but look in Xia Chujian's direction and said, "...The unknown life form below is a bit complicated."

"Why don't you take these kids and leave first, and go find Chen Yanjun and the others?"

"I'll go down first and check it out for you."

With that, Huo Yushen was about to steer the mecha to descend into the seabed.

Xia Chujian, of course, would not allow it.

She quickly stopped him, saying, "You don't need to go."

She looked at the three little ones behind her and said, "Ugly, sense what's down there in the sea?"

"Is there a familiar... aura?"

Xia Chujian actually suspected that the unknown life form below was related to the insect mother.

After all, that thing's vitality is just too strong.

When she first learned that there were insect queens in the world, she thought that only the four insect eggs in the four secret chambers on the asteroid in the western 150th district of Shaofu Star were the insect race's entire reserve for hatching insect queens.

After being eaten by the little yellow chick, Ugly, she thought everything was fine.

As a result, not long ago, while rescuing Zong Weiping, she discovered a mother insect that was almost hatching at the Southern Cross.

This overturned her previous understanding, making her realize that her previous ideas were somewhat careless and presumptuous.

The Zerg have traversed so many universes just to hatch a single Zerg Queen who can continuously produce evolving offspring.

How could there be only one reserve base?
After killing the soon-to-hatched insect queen, she learned from the Chongming Bird, A Chou, that the insect queen's vitality was terrifyingly strong.

Even if you kill its main body and burn it to ashes, there are still gene fragments inside that can continue to hatch the insect queen!

It is said that only when all the ashes are eaten by the Chongming Bird can the threat of the insect mother be completely eliminated.

So, ever since she returned from the Southern Cross, she had a vague feeling that, given the Zerg's crazy drive to hatch their queens, there might still be some hidden gems.

Now, that feeling is back.

……

Little Yellow Chicken Ah Chou obediently flapped its little wings and flew over, plunging headfirst into the seawater.

Huo Yushen: "...".

He glanced at Xia Chujian: "You won't let me go down, but you're letting your little chick go down? Can you really trust that?"

Xia Chujian: "..."

She thought that Little Yellow Chicken Ah Chou was going to release his true form as the Chongming Bird again and use his spiritual power to sense it first.

Unexpectedly, the little guy plunged headfirst into the seawater.

She raised her mechanical arm somewhat embarrassedly, tapped her fully enclosed helmet with an air of importance, and said, "...This one is a good swimmer."

"It might be more appropriate to just go into the water."

Huo Yushen: "..."

That's such a perfunctory and half-hearted answer.

While the two were in an awkward silence, Xia Chujian's teacup dog Awu and chubby little bird Ayuan behind her silently switched back to their original forms.

A majestic divine beast and a vast array of starry phoenix chicks appeared.

The starry sky was so large that it covered the entire sky over the sea.

The sudden darkness caused Huo Yushen to look up abruptly.

Then he saw a colossal beast that blotted out the sky, which resembled both a swimming fish and a flying bird.

He gasped, "...This is...the true form of the Starry Sky Phoenix?!"

Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes, this is my Ayuan."

Huo Yushen: "...".

He thought of that tiny, palm-sized, chubby white bird and was speechless.

Then, seeing the majestic beast next to the starry sky phoenix, even more imposing than a lion, I thought, "That must be the teacup dog, Awu..."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "...This is your Awu? It...He is...a lion?"

Awu exclaimed, "What lion?!"

"I am Hou! The Divine Hou!"

"--Understand?"

Huo Yushen: "!!!"

The Shenhou is a legendary mythical beast!
As far as he knew, there was no such animal as the Divine Hou in the entire Beichen Galaxy, or even the former Blue River Galaxy.

He knew about the existence of the Divine Hou when he was a child on Earth, in a sleep story told to him by She Zhuyin, which mentioned the existence of the Divine Hou...

Huo Yushen's gaze towards Xia Chujian changed.

Who is she?

How could she attract so many legendary and magical beings to her home and stay by her side?
Fortunately, thanks to the fully enclosed helmet, Xia Chujian did not see Huo Yushen's gaze.

She simply focused on looking at the seawater below.

Just then, Ah Wu suddenly said, "Sister, there seems to be something in the seawater!"

As he spoke, the seawater below suddenly seemed to burst into flames.

The entire seawater turned a deep red, as if a volcano was about to erupt from the seabed.

Xia Chujian's heart tightened, and she shouted loudly, "A Chou! A Chou! Come out! Come out quickly!"

That's what she called out, and that's what she thought. Just then, Ah Chou's voice rang in her mind: "...Master, you don't need to shout. Just speak to me in the realm of consciousness, and I can hear you!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

She wanted to communicate with them directly using her mental powers, but she didn't have any!

Then she heard Ah Chou's voice respond in her mind: "Master, you have spiritual power!"

"Your realm of consciousness is so vast that it is boundless; it is the most expansive realm of consciousness that Ah Chou has ever experienced!"

Xia Chujian suddenly opened her mouth wide, her eyes widening in disbelief...

The realm of consciousness.

Because only those who have undergone genetic evolution possess mental power and the concept of consciousness.

She is not a genetically evolved being, but Ah Chou claims that she has a conscious realm and spiritual power!
This is a bit interesting.

Her heart was pounding, but she managed to keep it still.

Now is not the time to think about that.

She communicated with Ah Chou in her mind: "What happened down there? Why has the seawater turned red?"

Ah Chou responded in his mind: "Master! There is a huge crystal mine below, and a large insect egg!"

"It's the scent of the Queen Insect!"

They're about to hatch!

"What a delicious flavor!"

"Ah Chou wants to eat!"

"Master, look!"

With the arrival of Ah Chou's consciousness, Xia Chujian discovered that she had suddenly shared the vision of the little yellow chicken Ah Chou.

After a dizzying sensation, she saw the underwater scene.

It felt so real, with a tangible touch, as if I had transformed into the little yellow chick, Ah Chou, confronting that huge, unknown life form on the seabed!

……

The seabed before me resembled a bottomless abyss, shrouded in darkness and utter silence.

There was no light or sound, no sign of any living thing, as if it were a corner forgotten by the god of life.

The deeper you go, the greater the pressure in the deep sea becomes, enough to crush even the hardest alloys.

The temperature at the bottom of the sea is frighteningly high, as if it could burn everything in the world.

The entire seabed resembles the bottom of a volcano, as if it's about to melt the entire seabed into fiery red lava.

However, streams of extremely cold water, flowing from who-knows-where, surged silently between the rugged, dark purple sea ridges.

It perfectly neutralized the extreme heat.

As a result, the temperature in the entire underwater world was comfortable and did not cause any discomfort.

Everything on the seabed seemed to have been frozen in time into a giant amber.

A vast, unimaginably large ruin lies half-buried in the volcanic lava beneath the seabed.

The rough, massive stone pillar, with faint traces of unreadable runes, was covered with a layer of sticky, shiny, dark green moss.

From its appearance, this is a large building resembling a three-dimensional lotus flower.

It was as if it were a unique, primordial blue lotus that bloomed at the very beginning of time.

This three-dimensional lotus-shaped building stands on the seabed and has three levels.

The top layer consists of four unfolded petals, with a long cylindrical column standing upright in the middle of the petals. The top of the column looks like an exquisitely carved and lifelike lotus seedpod.

The second layer consists of eight unfolded petals.

The bottom layer is the third layer, with twelve unfolded petals.

The carvings of these petals are so lifelike that even the tiny dewdrops on the petals seem to be depicted.

Each petal has a human-shaped groove, just big enough for a person to lie down in.

There were twelve skeletons dressed in silver robes, with their hair flowing freely and their hands bound to their chests, lying in the human-shaped recess.

The liquid flowing in the groove was not seawater, but a dark purple liquid.

They were so thick and viscous that they couldn't mix with the surrounding seawater.

And in the center of the lotus seedpod atop the lotus-shaped pillar of the building was a giant insect egg.

It was also club-shaped, almost identical to the insect eggs that Xia Chujian had seen in the four secret rooms of the Shaofu Star West 150 District.

But this insect egg was so huge it was terrifying.

Its surface is covered with a dark shell covered with spirals and strange geometric patterns, bearing the marks of time, as if it has been sleeping here since the beginning of the world.

There seemed to be a liquid-like spiritual substance flowing through the veins, like the blood vessels of stars in the universe.

The outer shell is not smooth, but covered with rough, jagged grooves, like a filthy network of blood vessels.

In the depths of those deep ravines, there was a faint, almost imperceptible, dark purple light, like a dying firefly, pulsating slowly with a rhythm beyond Xia Chujian's comprehension.

Each expansion and contraction of the dark purple light was accompanied by a ripple of spiritual energy that spread outwards.

The ripples, like pebbles thrown into a stagnant pool, spread quietly from the insect egg in the cold yet scorching seawater.

Wherever the ripples passed, countless insects of various shapes and sizes, covered with beetle shells, suddenly awoke from their slumber in the numerous holes of the three-dimensional lotus building!

They seem to be the filthy creatures that have naturally multiplied on the insect eggs over millions of years in the deep sea, and are the natural guardians of the insect eggs.

At this moment, summoned by that rhythmic spiritual power, an irresistible will united them together, converging them into a black swarm that blotted out the sky.

The swarm of insects rolled and surged, like a vast underwater storm, sweeping across everything in the deep sea.

A giant deep-sea whale that had strayed into this place did not have time to utter a mournful cry.

Its enormous body was instantly engulfed by the black swarm of insects.

The hard, slippery whale skin sizzled and dissolved rapidly, as if it had encountered strong acid.

The giant whale struggled weaker and weaker until it was nothing but a skeleton, sinking into the endless abyss beneath the three-dimensional lotus structure.

The rhythm emanating from the insect eggs seemed to have grown slightly stronger at that moment, almost imperceptibly.

Clearly, it had not yet hatched, yet it had already released a massive mental fluctuation that spread like a tide in the water.

From the perspective of the Chongming Bird Achou, Xia Chujian saw a faint light appearing and disappearing in the depths of the sea vein, at the center of the insect egg, beating slowly like a heart.

Just then, the absolute stillness of the seabed was torn open by a blazing rift.

In the deep, dark seabed, a single, dazzling light suddenly appeared, reflecting in the water.

At first it was only the size of a grain of rice, but it carried the power to burn everything, piercing through tens of thousands of feet of heavy seawater, and dyeing the eternal darkness with a breathtaking golden crown.

Xia Chujian suddenly realized, as if looking in a mirror, that the golden light came from herself, from the Chongming Bird at the same perspective as her!
Little Yellow Chicken A Chou switched to his true form as the Chongming Bird in the seabed.

It is not a phantom, but a real entity.

His appearance caused the sea level to rise rapidly.

Tearing through the icy seawater, dispelling the darkness, it brings a heat and holiness never before felt in this abyss.

The essence of the sun flows and burns on every brilliant feather of the Chongming bird, forming rings of golden halos.

The seawater boiled and churned around it, forming a brief cavity.

Those double pupils, burning with pure golden flames, pierced through the illuminated abyss and precisely locked onto the huge, eerie insect egg in the center of the three-dimensional lotus altar.
