Chapter 560: An Idea

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The huge spider rolled on the ground. The snowshade leopard's attack was powerful enough to flip the spider, which was many times its size, upside down. Sha Ya and Xuan Ning, who were inside the pilot cabin, were both dizzy from the hit. Only Ye Chong maintained his calm. However, he was also surprised by the strength of the snowshade leopard.

Even Ye Chong could not flip the huge spider over, despite how strong he was. The snowshade leopard was much stronger than he was. The animals were small but powerful, and moved very quickly. They knew how to move evasively, and their fur served as good defense. They were very powerful creatures!

Nevertheless, all creatures have their weaknesses .The stronger an animal was, the harder it was to identify its weakness. However, this weakness would also be very dangerous for the animal.

Ye Chong took a glance at Sha Ya and Xuan Ning. After determining that they were uninjured, he focused back onto the fight. Ye Chong closed his eyes and listened, as the world outside turned quiet again.

Ye Chong's hearing was sharp. This was a trait that all combat experts valued.

Ye Chong stepped lightly towards the entrance of the huge spider. The spider had its belly towards the sky. The entrance was thus above Ye Chong's head.

He carefully opened the hatch and listened to the outside. There was no sound at all.

Ye Chong came out of the huge spider and soon found the snowshade leopard. The powerful creature was now lying quietly on the ground, as though it was asleep.

It seemed that the knockout agent was working perfectly. Ye Chong sighed in relief. The snowshade leopard was powerful. Ye Chong would not fight against them without a mech. This encounter was quite a close call. It had been long since Ye Chong had been in such a dangerous situation. He did not expect to encounter such a terrifying animal so soon after they entered Darkniss. Ye Chong believed that this creature was as strong as the red-tailed beasts.

Darkniss was a terrifying place.

Ye Chong held his breath and took out a strong poison. He opened the flask and waved the opening before the snowshade leopard's nose a few times. The snowshade leopard convulsed, then subsided. It was good policy to be careful. The snowshade leopard's strength had shaken Ye Chong. He did not want any more surprises. He turned his attention towards where the snowshade leopard had attacked the huge spider. There were cracks on the surface now, proof of how strong the attack was.

It seemed that he had to change the armor in that area. Fortunately, he brought the tools just for occasions like this.

Just then, Sha Ya and Xuan Ning crawled out of the huge spider with difficulty.

Both of them stopped before the snowshade leopard and studied the creature with curiosity and fear.

"What a scary thing, it's so strong," Xuan Ning sighed, "I've heard of these creatures, but now I know that the stories fall short of the real thing. I think only a Level 10 shooter has a comfortable advantage against this animal." Nevertheless, he quickly added for Ye Chong's benefit, "Of course, you're an exception." Ye Chong had many tricks up his sleeves. The snowshade leopards were tame compared to the man himself. Xuan Ning would rather face three snowshade leopards than Ye Chong.

Sha Ya carefully moved closer to the snowshade leopard. "Isn't the snowshade leopard usually in the inner parts of Darkniss? Why are they here?"

"Who knows?" Xuan Ning shrugged. He seemed to think of something, and his expression quickly turned serious, "It's been strange in recent years. Usually, the snowshade leopard and those red-tailed creatures live in the inner parts of Darkniss. We encountered a poisoned red-tailed beast just recently, and today we encountered a snowshade leopard. Perhaps something has happened in Darkniss recently."

Ye Chong heard him, and asked, "How will that be a problem?"

"It's a huge problem," Xuan Ning explained, "Here in Darkniss, every species has their own territories with very strict borders. The further in you go, the clearer these boundaries are. The snowshade leopard, for example, never wondered beyond their own territory. That we saw a snowshade leopard here near the border of Darkniss means that we're in serious trouble."

"Why is that?"

"Think about it. If these three snowshade leopards left Darkniss, entered Dual Forest, and then went into Eastern Cloud, they would definitely raise havoc. What if it wasn't just three, but a whole pack of snowshade leopards? There are many powerful creatures like this in Darkniss. If they all left Darkniss, no one can stop them. It will be the end for us all."

Sha Ya agreed with Xuan Ning. "It's a very important signal for us, seeing the snowshade leopards near the entrance into Darkniss. I have a bad feeling about this."

"Haha, let's not worry too much about it. If we continue deeper in, perhaps we'll come to understand the reason for it all," Xuan Ning forced a laugh and said.

Ye Chong was not particularly worried about their concern. He was, after all, not really from Eastern Cloud. He climbed back into the huge spider's pilot cabin and took out a specimen collection apparatus. He wanted to take a few tissue samples from the snowshade leopard. The creature was strong and fast, and its fur could block energy weapons effectively. It was the only animal Ye Chong knew that was as strong as the red-tailed beast. It was hard to believe that there was so much power in this small animal's body. The animal's muscle structure must be close to perfection.

This was very important for Ye Chong. Celest's muscle structure, despite being the product of the Research Consortium's endless resources and manpower, was still a long way from the snowshade leopard. If Celest could have a muscle structure as strong as the snowshade leopard's, it would definitely become a more powerful and terrifying weapon.

Celest's ability to evolve implied that it had the potential to be improved upon.

Ye Chong carefully extracted samples from various parts of the snowshade leopard. He would be able to grow them into a larger tissue mass with the same properties back at his place with only a tiny sample,. He would then figure out a way to replace Celest's muscle structure with the snowshade leopard's. Of course, there were still many technical issues in the whole process, but Ye Chong was confident that he could solve them when the time came.

The snowshade leopard's fur was a strong defense layer. Ye Chong had to put in some force to collect the tissue samples.

Xuan Ning and Sha Ya paled as they watched Ye Chong's every move. To them, Ye Chong's operation was both creepy and scary to consider. What an evil man, to exploit an animal even when it was dead! Moreover, the vacuum specimen container next to Ye Chong was a mystery to both of them.

They both watched as Ye Chong took out his laser sword and dissected the snowshade leopard like it was only a routine job. It was a bloody mess. They suppressed the urge to vomit and quickly went back into the huge spider.

Ye Chong picked up biology very quickly with Kui's three chips. This was obvious from the way he went about the dissection. He began awkwardly, but soon became familiar with the moves.

Ye Chong returned to the pilot cabin with his vacuum specimen container, satisfied with the day's rewards. The danger was beyond his expectations, but so was his reward.

In biology, a tissue sample was sometimes enough to change everything.

For the moment, they could not continue forward. The Spider needed repairs. Naturally, Ye Chong was charged with the technical work. Xuan Ning and Sha Ya sat together on a huge rock, drinking and enjoying some snacks while Ye Chong did his work. It was a pleasant moment. Having survived after being so close to death, they found that even sitting around drinking and chatting was one of the best things in life.

Ye Chong worked quickly. He was much more skilled in machinery than biology. Besides, he was well prepared for the incident. He had all the tools and spare parts he needed.

Soon, the three of them were back in the Spider and on their way.

For some reason, the rest of the trip went smoothly. Aside from an encounter with a few black-striped gray dragons, they did not see any more creatures that were as scary as the snowshade leopard.

Sha Ya and Xuan Ning were still curious about Ye Chong. He seemed to picking up everything he could see along the way. It was understandable when he collected rocks or things that weaponsmiths may be interested in. However, he would sometimes collect even flowers, grass and moss. When they came across puddles, Ye Chong would also collect water samples.

Sha Ya and Xuan Ning were baffled by Ye Chong's strange behavior, but they knew that they could not stop him. Hence, they could only actively ignore him.

Ye Chong was absorbed in his collection activity. Darkniss was like a hidden treasure to him. There were so many metals here that even he did not recognize, and all kinds of new plants. There was a huge variety of metals in this place, and all in great amounts and high purity. It was a real treasure trove of natural resources. Many of the plants were also valuable ingredients for alchemy.

Metal was very important to Ye Chong. He had plenty of processing equipment. If he had metals, he would be able to build numerous things, such as mechs, or even starships.

If he could build a base here …

Ye Chong was moved by the thought.
