'These are all Apocalyptic Beasts!'
Meng Chao's pupils shrank, and his breathing quickened.
A layer of profound and complicated spirit tattoos instantly appeared around him, and his vitality magnetic field erupted like a volcano.
This was the instinctive reaction of a superhuman when they faced Apocalyptic Beasts.
Even though they were just embryos of Apocalyptic Beasts, they still stimulated the fighting spirit hidden in the depths of his blood.
Meng Chao calmed himself down and noticed that the largest Apocalyptic Beast was no longer than five meters long, and it was still in the early stages of an embryo.
It was a large golden snake. Its scales were slightly protruding in the middle, and there were eight small spikes on its head.
Since it was an embryo, when it curled up, it looked … cute.
Meng Chao felt chills run down his spine when he saw it.
Because he could already tell what it was based on its diamond-shaped golden scales and octagonal spikes.
In his previous life, it was the ultimate evolved Apocalyptic Beast, the Eight Desolate Snake, which had caused the Red Dragon River to flood again and devoured an entire armored squad of the Red Dragon Army!
The eight crystal pillars by the side also produced Apocalyptic Beasts that were on the same level as the Eight Desolate Snake and had stirred up an apocalyptic storm in Dragon City in his previous life.
Fortunately, these Apocalyptic Beasts were still in the early stages of embryos. Some of them had just been implanted, and they had yet to evolve into complete limbs, spines, nervous systems, and brain tissue.
Even if the mastermind of the monsters forcefully woke them up and broke out of their shells, they would not be able to fight.
That was why they slept here obediently and turned into the humans' spoils of war.
Meng Chao moved through the "forest" formed by the crystal pillars. The spirit energy ahead of him became thicker, and it turned from a dense fog into glowing jellyfish that floated in the air. They expanded and shrank, and they danced in the wind.
The folds, protrusions, holes, walls, and pillars around him shone with a dazzling light. It was a dazzling crystal world.
The crystal pillars here were slightly smaller. Most of them had a diameter of no more than five meters.
But their purity was getting higher. The red was as dazzling as fire, the blue was as pure as the sea, and the green was so fragrant that it flowed out.
It was almost like a 'mother' was extending its tentacles and absorbing the powder of crystals from the mother lodes a hundred square kilometers nearby. After absorbing it into its body, it would reshape crystal clusters one after another.
The monster sleeping quietly in the crystal seemed normal. It did not have the huge body and brutal presence of an Apocalyptic Beast, which was the ultimate evolved form, like the Eight Desolate Serpent.
But based on the spirit energy purity of the crystals that created them and the fact that they were placed in the depths of the monster's nest, the mastermind viewed them as even more important than Apocalyptic Beasts. They were even more worthy of being carefully modified by the mastermind.
While Meng Chao was puzzled, Kindling shone in front of him, and rows of golden words appeared.

"So these are the Demon Immortals!"
Meng Chao's heart froze.
Compared to the Apocalyptic Beasts, whose fighting strength was so great that they did not need to use their brains, the Demon Immortals never relied on brute strength to win.
Instead, they used their dark and evil intelligence and cunning schemes to tear apart the darkness of humanity and the internal conflicts in Dragon City. They wanted to make the indestructible fortress of human civilization collapse from within.
In his previous life, there were nine Great Supernatural Entities who stirred up trouble in Dragon City.
After Meng Chao returned from the apocalypse, he ran into five of them.
The remaining four Supernatural Entities were all here.
Without the nourishment from the mastermind's evil intelligence, they could no longer be like in his previous life and become sharp blades that stabbed into Dragon City's heart and injected poison, right?
"What's this?"
This place was close to the core area of the monster nest.
There were researchers from the ruins research center, the Red Dragon Army, the six universities, the nine great mega corporations, and the Hunter's Association everywhere.
Everyone occupied their own territory and seized every second they had to explore the secrets of the monster civilization using every method they had.
However, dozens of researchers from various major forces were gathered around a cluster of crystals that was growing particularly "luxuriantly".
Everyone was focused on operating the dazzling array of instruments.
Clearly, the things inside had attracted the great interest of all the forces of power in Dragon City.
Meng Chao activated super vision and narrowed his eyes to observe through the gaps between the people. He noticed that the crystal cluster was similar to the crystals that gave birth to Supernatural Entities.
The spirit tattoos and spirit energy transmission circuits inside were even more complicated and densely packed together.
However, what was wrapped at the core of the crystal was not a monster embryo. Instead, it was … a human child who seemed to be around three to five years old!
"What's the meaning of this?"
Meng Chao was shocked. "Is it you or the mastermind of the monsters who sealed a human child inside to conduct research on him?"
"It's not human. It just looks like a human child," Wu Haibo explained.
Wu Haibo explained. "In truth, this is a humanoid creature made completely of monster cells. Its human appearance is just a disguise, or rather, it's its first form. If necessary, it can turn into an even more brutal, brutal, and powerful fighting form at any moment."
As if to prove Wu Haibo's words.
The researcher injected a wave of spirit energy into the crystal cluster.
As the faint golden light slowly rotated and rippled along the spirit tattoos surrounding the "human child", the sleeping "humanoid creature" seemed to be filled with spirit energy. Its tightly shut eyes began to tremble slightly, and its breathing became heavy.
Then, something unbelievable happened.
A layer of faint golden, diamond-shaped dragon scales that did not lose to the scales of the Eight Desolate Serpents grew on its originally smooth and tender skin.
A pair of small horns also grew on its head.
Its presence became completely different from a moment ago.
It did not have the childishness of a human child, but neither did it have the ruthlessness of an Apocalyptic Beast.
But it gave off the feeling that … it was a king who had descended on the world and ruled over the world.
And before Meng Chao's eyes, the progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities increased by leaps and bounds as the humanoid creature mutated.
[Increased progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities by 13%. Current progress: 99%. All the Supernatural Entities have appeared. The final answer is right before your eyes. Increased contribution points by 14553.]
'I knew it, it's also a Supernatural Entity!'
Meng Chao's expression was incredibly grave.
It was a Supernatural Entity that looked no different from a human while it was still in the incubation stage, but it could turn into a monster and release the presence of a king.
It might be the legendary ninth Supernatural Entity, one of the most terrifying enemies Dragon City had ever faced in his previous life.
But …
Since all the Supernatural Entities had appeared, why was the progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities only 99% unlocked? Why was it not shown that the quest was completed yet?
What did it mean by "the final answer is right before your eyes"?
Could it be that just seeing the ninth Supernatural Entity was not enough to complete the quest? Did he still have to search for the answer from it?
Meng Chao thought about it and asked softly, "Captain Wu, what do you intend to do with this … humanoid creature? Are you thinking of completing the incubation and hatching it?"
"We haven't come to a conclusion yet," Wu Haibo said.
"You saw it yourself. This humanoid monster has incredible potential. It's still in its embryonic form, and it only has the appearance of a five-year-old human child, but it already has such a terrifying presence.
"If we can really hatch it, control it, and even make it willingly acknowledge human civilization, it'll be of great help to our spirit energy cultivation, life sciences, and gene modification fields. We'll be able to achieve explosive development.
"Of course, this guy is definitely an existence even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast. The Deity Realm superhumans still have their own opinions on how to deal with it. We'll have to wait until we unlock more secrets of the ancient civilization and the monster civilization before we can come to a conclusion.
"Let's go. The core area of the monster nest is right in front of us. It's also the battlefield where the Deity Realm superhumans fight against the monster mastermind."
After they passed through the cluster of crystals that gave birth to the Supernatural Entities, the spirit energy ahead of them became even thicker.
Colorful spirit energy tumbled about nonstop as if it was boiling. It stuck to the superhumans' skin, and as their vitality magnetic fields trembled, it immediately gathered into crystalline spirit liquid pearls. After rolling around a few times, they seeped into the superhumans' bodies through their pores.
Including Meng Chao, the four superhumans felt refreshed. Their bodies felt comfortable, and the activity of their cells increased by quite a lot.
Even Battle God Lei Zongchao, who was riddled with internal injuries and had his vitality magnetic field in chaos, could not help but lift the mask of his protective suit and suck in a deep breath of the fragrant spirit energy.
"What a blessed land with such thick spirit energy. It's no wonder why it could produce so many powerful carbon-based life forms," Lei Zongchao said with a sigh.
He found it a pity that such a blessed land with rich resources and thick spirit energy had not been discovered by human civilization a long time ago. Instead, it ended up as the birthplace of the monster civilization.
However, such a paradise was completely empty. There was nothing at all.
There were no pillars that could produce Apocalyptic Beasts or crystal clusters that could create Supernatural Entities. It was just an empty land covered in dense, winding ravines, and folds.
Meng Chao cast Wu Haibo a puzzled look.
Wu Haibo smiled faintly. "Meng Chao, look carefully. This is a hemispherical protrusion. It's covered in ravines and folds, and it occasionally flashes. What does it look like?"
Meng Chao was slightly stunned. He narrowed his eyes, but even after looking at it for a long time, he still could not understand what it looked like.
"Don't look at the details. It's an organic whole that was formed by nature."
Wu Haibo gave him a hint. "More accurately speaking, what kind of organ does it look like?"
Meng Chao blinked and activated maglev to fly eight meters into the air.
From there, he could see the hemispherical ground surrounded by huge pillars and crystal clusters. It had a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the sides were sunken. The center was bulging up.
At first glance, he still could not find the answer.
But there was a ravine that cut off the left and right hemispheres of the ground. There was also a faint light shining in the depths of the ravine. It made a bolt of lightning flash in his head, and he shuddered.
"A brain!
"This thing looks like a crystal brain with a diameter of hundreds of meters!"
