Embers Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 328: Thirteen vertical bars alien!

The night was blood-red, Zuo Feng sat in the passenger seat, and Yun Qianqian was driving.

At this moment, Yun Qianqian whispered, "Xiao Nan Ren, is that item really okay? How could it genuinely exist? I still can't believe it."

Zuo Feng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The item is fine, we'll talk about it when we get back!"

Yun Qianqian nodded, not asking any further questions, but her foot unconsciously pressed down harder on the accelerator.

After driving for a while, Yun Qianqian stopped the truck and confirmed that no one was following them, then they called Wen Wudao out of the cargo compartment.

Bixiao Guards could travel much faster than driving; previously, they used the truck to avoid drawing attention to the item, but now that there was no one following them, they naturally chose to travel by Bixiao Guards.

The items in the truck were carried directly by the Bixiao Guards, Zuo Feng and Da Bai Tu sat on the Bixiao Guards' shoulders, but Wen Wudao did not have this privilege; he could only travel by foot and his abilities.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take two hours to get from Firefly Base E City to here; two hours was Wen Wudao's travel time.

Two hours later, everyone returned to Firefly Base, and Wen Wudao immediately rushed to light the seventh Lotus Seed.

Firefly Base was very close to a Void Land, so Wen Wudao could achieve a breakthrough right next to Firefly Base, and safety was not a concern; who would dare to cause trouble at the entrance of Firefly Base?

Zuo Feng, carrying the item, hurried into the Second Floor of the Base with Da Bai Tu.

Outside the bedroom, Zuo Feng carefully put down the item, and the Firefly girls immediately gathered around excitedly, chattering and discussing.

What Zuo Feng carried back was a huge stone coffin, its surface covered with obscure and ancient runes, faintly emitting a mysterious fluctuation.

The items he traded with Wen Wudao were this stone coffin and the bodies inside—two bodies of 13-line Mutant, and the bodies of their companion beasts!

Xiao Mi Tao blinked her large eyes, curiously urging, "Feng Ge! Open it quickly and let's see!"

The girls also eagerly urged him, and even the Mutant and the little beasts seemed to sense something unusual and gathered around.

13-line Mutant bodies! Even if they were just corpses, the value of such high-level Mutant was immeasurable; who had ever seen a 13-line Mutant?

Who could imagine how powerful such beings were?

Zuo Feng, however, did not respond immediately. He stood before the stone coffin, his eyes subtly moving, slowly reaching out, his fingertips lightly touching the runes on the coffin's surface, and slowly began, "Perhaps… they are still alive!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment; Zuo Feng's words made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"What? Still alive? Feng Ge, don't scare me!"

Xiao Mi Tao's eyes widened; let alone 13-line Mutant, even 7-line Mutant would mean the entire Firefly Base combined would only be massacred!

Now her Feng Ge was saying they were still alive?

Xiao Mi Tao's voice trembled, and her face was slightly pale.

Da Mi Tao's expression instantly became serious, staring at Zuo Feng, "Are you sure? This is no time for jokes."

The other girls also stared at the stone coffin in terror, their faces turning pale. Crazy!

Their Feng Ge must be crazy; how could he dare to bring back such terrifying, forbidden existences?

Zuo Feng's face was serious, his gaze sweeping over everyone with solemnity, and he slowly nodded,

"I'm not entirely sure either, but it's highly probable they are alive, because, the moment I lifted the coffin lid, the Lotus Seed in my brain suddenly trembled violently, countless times more intensely than it ever did when encountering any other Mutant!"

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, the air seemed to solidify. A Lotus Seed trembling implied a high probability of living Mutant!

But they, including Zuo Feng himself, could not be sure whether dead Mutant would cause the Lotus Seed to tremble.

Zuo Feng's gaze swept over the girls' terrified faces, and he said in a deep voice,

"Now there are four problems: the Lotus Seed trembling means they might be tamed, but first, their life and death cannot be determined; second, their strength is too terrifying, and it's uncertain if they can be tamed; third, if they are alive, waking up during the taming process would be an unimaginable disaster.

The last problem—even if they are tamed, it's uncertain if they can be controlled. So, girls, do you want to try to tame them?"

The girls fell silent; they knew every word Zuo Feng said was true, but these were 13-line Mutant!

Da Yuanyuan suggested, "Let's open it and see first."

Zuo Feng nodded in agreement, slowly placed his palm on the stone coffin lid, and slowly pushed it open. As the lid opened, the figures of the two Mutant appeared!

They lay quietly in the coffin, their beauty not inferior to Da Mi Tao and Xiao Mi Tao; they were a pair of identical twin sisters, dressed in ancient and mysterious attire, lying hand in hand, as if merely asleep, without a trace of breath. This was why Wen Wudao thought they were two 13-line Mutant corpses.

The one on the left had white fur, white fangs and claws, and a phoenix-shaped companion beast coiled around her arms;

The one on the right had black fur, black fangs and claws, and a coiled dragon-shaped companion beast around her arms.

Previously, Wen Wudao had considered selling only one, or separating the Mutant and companion beasts, but he had conducted countless experiments and simply could not separate them. Not to mention separating them, not even a single strand of hair could be detached, and even their clothes could not be removed.

The girls watched the twin sisters in the coffin in shock, holding their breath. There was a strange beauty, and the thirteen white lines and thirteen black lines on their foreheads proved their strength; these were the most top-tier Mutant existences anyone could imagine, their power certainly beyond everyone's cognitive limits.

Moreover, the shapes of their companion beasts also showed their extraordinary nature: black dragon and white phoenix, beings from myths. Although Da Bai Tu could manifest a phoenix illusion, it was only an illusion, while these two Mutant' companion beasts were physical entities.

"Incredible, truly 13-line Mutant, with black dragon and white phoenix companion beasts. They must have possessed world-destroying abilities in life."

Da Bai Tu murmured, her charming phoenix eyes filled with awe and shock.

The other girls also stared intently at the two Mutant in the coffin, their eyes revealing complex emotions: awe, admiration, and even deep apprehension.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became cautious.

At this moment, Mu Jingjing suddenly flew onto one of the Mutant, stood on the Mutant' arm, and lightly tapped the thirteen lines on the forehead of a White Phoenix Beast with her small hand, making chirping sounds, as if saying, "Wake up!"

Zuo Feng and the girls did not stop Mu Jingjing's actions, as companion beasts could communicate with each other.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, Mu Jingjing received no response; the White Phoenix Beast remained still like a stone sculpture.

Mu Jingjing tilted her head, thought for a moment, and with a pained expression, pulled out a seven-line zombie crystal from her embrace.

"No!"

Mu Jingjing's action startled everyone. zombie crystals could replenish energy for Mutant and companion beasts, but they feared genuinely waking these two forbidden existences, as the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zuo Feng's face changed drastically, and he immediately moved to stop Mu Jingjing, but it was too late.

Mu Jingjing directly stuffed the seven-line zombie crystal into the White Phoenix Beast's mouth. As soon as the crystal touched it, the White Phoenix Beast's feathers emitted a faint glow, as if a sleeping flame was about to be ignited.

Everyone held their breath, fearing that in the next moment, this Mutant, far beyond their comprehension, would open its eyes and tear through the silence.

However, a moment later, the glow dimmed, and the White Phoenix remained silent, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.

Mu Jingjing, however, chirped with laughter, pointing at the White Phoenix Beast's mouth, striking a feeding pose, looking quite proud.

Xiao Mi Tao pulled Mu Jingjing away immediately. She was afraid Mu Jingjing would continue feeding, and it would be terrifying if these forbidden existences were awakened. After being pulled away, Mu Jingjing still waved her small hands, as if protesting.
