Chapter 731 - 351: Bad News and Good News (Part 2)
As for the bodies of the Divine Hidden Clan, they were sent to the secret research institute under the escort of Theo and the others for preliminary measurement and observation.
"Feeling better?" Yu Feng handed a bottle of special Nutrient Liquid to Su Jiameng, urging her to drink it while a physician was treating her severely injured feet. Previously, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now as they cleaned her wounds, he realized that the bones in her feet were exposed!
It’s a wonder this woman could be so nonchalant to such an extent. If he hadn’t pointed it out, she probably wouldn’t have realized it for quite a while.
"I’m okay, still holding onto life. After treatment, I estimate I’ll be bouncing around again." Such injuries were common for her, painful, yes, but bearable. After being hurt so often, you get used to it, "Yu Feng, I’ve got a lot of bad news and one piece of good news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Yu Feng twitched slightly. He found that when facing Su Jiameng, his emotions always seemed to spiral out of control. And what was that about? A lot of bad news but only one good news? Was she messing with him?
"Let’s hear the good one first." Yu Feng thought about Su Jiameng’s temperament and figured it would be better to hear some good news first, then brace himself for the bad, "But let me ask in advance, how bad are these bad news items?"
Su Jiameng lazily lifted her eyelids and said, "The bad news is bad enough for you to find it unacceptable! Since you want the good news first, I’ll tell you what it is. We’ve killed a member of the Divine Hidden Clan, the guy you saw before.
As soon as she said that, Yu Feng twitched his lips again. He already knew this news, and it was barely countable as good. Su Jiameng continued, "The person’s body is freshly dead, absolutely fresh. You can conduct whatever intense research you want. But I’m warning you, that’s the only one we have, so take it easy. If you use it up, there’ll be no more for you to play with."
Yu Feng tugged at his lips, forcing a rather strained smile, "It’s kind of disappointing. I didn’t expect that’s the image I have in your heart, do I seem like someone who’s keen on such intense research? But since you said that guy’s from the Divine Hidden Clan... he indeed has significant research value. But wasn’t this race supposed to be extinct for thousands of years?"
This Plane also has the Divine Hidden Clan, with most of the legends about them being gradually unearthed from ruins. According to historical records, this was a rather perfect and powerful race, just not particularly fond of peace, often waging wars.
When Yu Feng saw this part of history, he secretly wondered if perhaps these powerful beings met their demise quickly because of their fondness for war, and their population growth failing to keep up with the war deaths, leading to their self-destruction.
No matter what Yu Feng thought, the Divine Hidden Clan indeed left a significant mark in interstellar history. No one can deny their strength, nor refute their brilliance. Though not claiming they were unrivaled before or after, they are worth any race’s reverence.
Seeing his expression, Su Jiameng, realizing their thoughts were similar to her earlier views, couldn’t help but sigh, "This mission, I was fortunate to complete, and at the same time discovered an enormous secret. Yu Feng, haven’t you ever wondered why I had to kill that Divine Hidden Clan guy? This secret, once you know it, you must keep it. Otherwise, it could bring about your demise!"
Yu Feng abruptly grew serious. Su Jiameng was far too earnest; how could he not take it seriously?
Moreover, he knew that the planet he previously teleported to was at the center of the Dark West Corner Star Domain, a place Su Jiameng spent years to reach, indicative of the danger. Yet there, the extinct Divine Hidden Clan appeared, which warrants reflection.
Su Jiameng moved her foot, which had been injected with a special powerful medicine. Because the drug contained anesthetic substances, it no longer hurt.
After waiting for the physician to wrap up her foot and quietly take leave, leaving a safe enough environment, she said, "This mission indeed yielded significant gains, and I inadvertently discovered the origin of the Divine Hidden Clan... the story starts when we went to that planet..."
Su Jiameng’s voice was notably flat, with no fluctuation from start to finish. Yet it was this indifferent tone that left Yu Feng feeling chilled to the bone, as if struck by a mighty thunderbolt, leaving him half-raw.
"According to the information and conjectures I obtained, there is certainly a connection between the Divine Hidden Clan and the Insect Race. Those unformed Divine Hidden Clan beings are likely nurtured after evolution and mutation of the Thousand Illusion Beast Insect Imperial. They rely on insect cocoons to gain growth energy. That active volcano has completely dried up, and there’s no trace of magma thousands of meters underground, mostly solidified rock instead."
"The first bad news, of course, is the relationship between the Insect Race and the Divine Hidden Clan, which I think you understand the magnitude of this news, once spread, it would cause a massive upheaval. Though the Divine Hidden Clan has long been extinct, their renowned name remains in the annals of history. This is bad news number one, the second is the connection between the Divine’s Remnant Clan and the Divine Hidden Clan." Su Jiameng extended a finger, "This is one of the bad news, the second being the connection between the Divine Remnant Clan and the Divine Hidden Clan."
Su Jiameng seemed not to notice Yu Feng’s stiffened expression, continuing to say, "After detecting the relationship between the Divine Hidden Clan and the Insect Race, I sought to take the King of Clay and destroy all the little pinky people. Of course, I offended the returning Divine Hidden Clan man, who launched a sneak attack intending to assassinate me. His prowess was indeed impressive... but in the end, he still died."
Yu Feng was quite familiar with Su Jiameng’s capabilities. If she valued someone so highly, then that Divine Hidden Clan guy must have been truly extraordinary!
"That Divine Hidden Clan man utilized a strategic-level, heavily armed Mecha..." Su Jiameng paused here. Naturally, Yu Feng could infer the rest.
She refocused her thoughts and added, "That Divine Hidden Clan guy was very strong. Were it not for my stronger Telekinesis and the element of surprise, he might not have been defeated and killed so easily. Prepare yourself mentally; if the average strength of the Divine Hidden Clan matches his, the Alliance is in serious danger. This is the third bad news I need to tell you." (To be continued.
