Chapter 804 - Supernatural Entity Mystery, 99% Unlocked!
“These are all Apocalyptic Beasts!”
Meng Chao’s pupils contracted, and his breathing quickened.
A layer of mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos appeared around him, while his vitality magnetic field was like an erupting volcano, eager to give it a try.
That was a superhuman’s instinctive reaction when facing an Apocalyptic Beast.
Although it was only an Apocalyptic Beast embryo, it still stimulated the battle intent hidden deep in his bloodline.
Meng Chao composed himself and found that the largest of these Apocalyptic Beasts was less than five meters long. It was still in the early embryonic stage.
It was a huge golden snake with slightly protruding diamond-shaped scales and eight small spikes on its head.
Since it was an embryo, it looked rather…… cute in its curled up state.
Meng Chao, on the other hand, felt chills all over his body.
It was because he had already identified the other party from its diamond-shaped golden scales and octagonal spikes.
In his previous life, the Red Dragon River had once again overflowed and devoured an entire armored company from the Dragon Army. It had been thanks to an ultimate evolved Apocalyptic Beast, the Eight Desolations Serpent!
The seven or eight crystal pillars beside it were also breeding ultimate beasts that were on par with the Eight Desolations Serpent. They were the ultimate beasts that had caused the apocalyptic storm in Dragon City in his previous life.
Fortunately, these ultimate ferocious beasts were in the early stage of infancy and had just been put to bed. They had not yet developed complete limbs, spines, nervous systems, and brain tissues.
Even if the monster mastermind woke them up by force and broke them out of their shells, they would not have any combat ability at all.
Therefore, they had slept obediently and become mankind’s trophies.
After passing through the “thicket” formed by the giant crystal pillars, the spirit energy in front of them became denser, upgrading from a dense mist to a luminous jellyfish floating in the void. It expanded and contracted, dancing with the wind.
The wrinkles, bumps, holes, rock walls, and giant pillars around them all emitted a magnificent light. It was simply a dazzling crystal world.
The giant crystal pillars there were slightly smaller in size, and many of them had a diameter of less than three to five meters.
However, their purity was higher. Their redness was as dazzling as fire and as pure as the ocean, while their greenness was so fresh that juices were flowing out.
It was almost as if the mother had extended its tentacles and absorbed the crystal powder from the crystal veins within a hundred square kilometers. After it was absorbed into its body, clusters of crystals were reconstructed.
The monsters that were sleeping quietly in the clusters seemed to be ordinary. They did not have the enormous bodies and brutal auras of the Apocalyptic Beasts or ultimate evolved bodies like the Eight Desolations Serpent.
Nevertheless, judging from the purity of the spirit energy in the crystal cluster that gave birth to them, as well as the position that they were placed in the bowels of the monster’s lair, they were more important than the Apocalyptic Beast in the monster mastermind’s head. They were more worthy of being meticulously refined.
While Meng Chao felt suspicious, a strange flame flashed before his eyes, and rows of small golden words appeared.

“So, these are the Supernatural Entities!”
Meng Chao’s heart trembled.
Different from the Apocalyptic Beasts whose combat ability had reached such a level that they did not need to think at all, the so-called Supernatural Entities never relied on pure brute force to win.
Instead, they used their deep, evil wisdom and cunning schemes to tear apart the darkness of human nature and the internal conflicts of Dragon City in an attempt to destroy the indestructible fortress of human civilization from the inside.
In his previous life, there had been a total of nine Supernatural Entities stirring up trouble in Dragon City.
After Meng Chao was reborn from the apocalypse, he encountered five of them.
The remaining four Supernatural Entities were all there.
After losing the monster mastermind’s evil wisdom, they could no longer be the sharp blades that pierced into Dragon City’s heart and injected venom like in his previous life, right?
“What is this?”
This place was close to the core area of the monster’s lair.
There were researchers from the ancient ruins research center, the Red Dragon Army, the six universities, the nine mega corporations, and the Hunter’s Association everywhere.
Everyone occupied a piece of their own territory, racing against time and doing everything possible to explore the mystery of the monster civilization.
However, around a cluster of crystal clusters that grew particularly “luxuriously,” there were dozens of researchers from various major forces.
Everybody was focused on operating the dazzling equipment.
Obviously, the items inside had attracted the interest of all the forces in Dragon City.
Meng Chao activated his super vision and narrowed his eyes. He observed through the cracks and found that the cluster of crystals was similar to the crystal that gave birth to the Supernatural Entities.
The spirit tattoos inside and the spirit energy transmission lines were even more complicated and dense.
However, what was wrapped in the core of the crystal was not a monster embryo, but…… a human child who looked like he was three or five years old!
“What does this mean?”
Meng Chao was shocked. “Did you or the monster mastermind seal a human child inside for research?”
“It’s not human. It just looks more like a human child.”
Wu Haibo explained, “In fact, this is a humanoid creature that is entirely made up of monster cells. The appearance of a human is just its disguise, or rather, its ‘first form.’ If necessary, it can transform into an even more brutal and powerful ‘combat form’ at any time.”
It seemed that they were trying to confirm Wu Haibo’s words.
The researchers injected a stream of spirit energy into the crystal cluster.
As the pale golden flowing light slowly rotated and rippled along the spirit tattoos that surrounded the “human child,” the human-shaped creature that was sleeping seemed to be filled with spirit energy by a coil. Its tightly shut eyes began to tremble slightly, while its breathing also became heavier.
Something unbelievable happened.
On his tender skin, which was originally as smooth as jade, a layer of pale golden diamond-shaped dragon scales that wasn’t inferior to the Eight Desolations Serpent grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A pair of tiny horns grew on his head, too.
His temperament was completely different from a moment ago.
He was neither as childish as a human child nor as violent as a Apocalyptic Beast.
However, it felt like…… It was the ruler of the world, dominating the four seas.
In front of Meng Chao’s eyes, the progress on the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities had increased by a large margin as the human-shaped creature mutated.
[Unlocked progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities + 13% . Current total progress is 99% . All the Supernatural Entities have appeared, and the final answer is right in front of you. Contribution Points + 14,553]
“As expected, it’s also a Supernatural Entity!”
Meng Chao’s expression was extremely grave.
A Supernatural Entity that was still in its embryonic stage and was no different from a human could transform into a monster and still emit the aura of a king.
It was probably the legendary Ninth Supernatural Entity, one of the most terrifying enemies that Dragon City had encountered in his previous life.
However……
Since all the Supernatural Entities had appeared, why was the total progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities mission only 99% unlocked? Why did it not say “Mission completed”?
What did it mean that the final answer was right in front of them.
Was it possible that seeing the Ninth Supernatural Entity was not enough to complete the mission, and they were still looking for an answer from it?
Meng Chao thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Leader Wu, what are you going to do with this…… humanoid creature? Do you want to complete the breeding process and hatch it?”
“For the time being, we haven’t reached a consensus yet.”
“As you can see,” Wu Haibo said, “the humanoid creature has tremendous potential and is still in its embryonic state. It only looks like a human child of three or five years old, but it already has such a terrifying aura.
“If we can hatch it, control it, and even make it willingly acknowledge the civilization of mankind, it will be of great help to our spirit energy cultivation, life science, and the field of gene modulation. It will be able to achieve explosive development.
“Of course, this guy must be even more terrifying than the Apocalyptic Beasts. The Deity Realm experts still have their own opinions on how to deal with it. We can only come to a conclusion after we unlock more of the ancient civilization and monster civilization’s secrets, right?
“Let’s go. The core area of the monster lair is ahead. It’s the battlefield where the Deity Realm experts fought the monster mastermind.”
After passing through the crystal cluster that gave birth to the Supernatural Entity, the spirit energy ahead of them became even denser.
The colorful spirit energy seethed and seethed as it attached to the superhumans’ skin. As the superhumans’ vitality magnetic field vibrated, it immediately condensed into crystal clear beads of spirit liquid. After rolling a few times, they flowed through the pores…… and seeped into the superhumans’ bodies.
Including Meng Chao, the four superhumans felt refreshed. Their bodies were comfortable, and their cell activity had increased significantly.
Even Battle God Lei Zongchao, who was riddled with internal injuries and whose vitality magnetic field was extremely chaotic, could not help but lift the mask on his protective suit and take a deep breath of the spirit energy’s unique fragrance.
“What a blessed land with rich spirit energy. No wonder it can give birth to so many powerful carbon-based life forms,” Lei Zongchao exclaimed.
He regretted that such a blessed land with abundant resources and rich spirit energy had not been discovered by the human civilization long ago. Instead, it had become the birthplace of the monster civilization.
Despite that, such a blessed land was empty. There was nothing at all.
There were neither giant pillars that gave birth to Apocalyptic Beasts nor crystal clusters that could be used to refine Supernatural Entities. It was just an empty land filled with dense, winding gullies and folds.
Meng Chao cast a suspicious look at Wu Haibo.
Wu Haibo smiled. “Meng Chao, take a closer look. The area in front of you is slightly bulging in the shape of a hemisphere. There are gullies and folds all over it. Occasionally, the ground will flicker. What does it look like?”
Meng Chao was slightly dazed. He narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but he still could not figure out what it was.
“Don’t look at the details. It is an organic whole that is naturally formed.”
Wu Haibo reminded, “To be more precise, what kind of organ is it?”
Meng Chao blinked and activated his magnetic levitation force. He flew to a height of seven or eight meters.
From there, he could overlook the hemisphere-shaped land that was surrounded by giant pillars and clusters of crystals. The land was hundreds of meters in diameter, sunken in all directions, and bulging in the middle.
At first glance, he still could not find the answer.
However, a deep ravine that cut through the land and the vague brilliance in the depths of the ravine made him shudder and blurt out, “It’s a brain.
“Brain!
“This thing is actually like a crystal brain with a diameter of hundreds of meters!”
