Chapter 456 - 318: Golden Horn and Silver Horn
[Chaos Egg: A special Chaos Egg of Deep Blue Quality. It has absorbed Starlight Power. Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to hatch a pair of twin Giant Beasts. The twin Giant Beasts will each have four skills and one combination skill. They are naturally belligerent and view their Hatcher as their closest kin.]
’Deep Blue Quality, and it can hatch twin beasts...’
Curiosity immediately sparked within Wang Yi.
Chaos Eggs, Chaos Blind Boxes, and other such items usually only had eight quality tiers: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red, Five-Colored, and Seven-Colored!
Wang Yi had actually seen a Dark Golden Quality item before. It was the spaceship Chaos Egg he had snatched from the Alien Star Royal Court, which he later hatched into the Peach Blossom Ship, a vessel that could take root in the void and grow on its own.
But this Deep Blue Quality Chaos Egg was something Wang Yi had never seen or even heard of before!
’This thing belongs to me!’
Wang Yi decided to retrieve the Deep Blue Chaos Egg. This meant he would have to venture deep into the dissipating Star Vortex, which carried a certain degree of risk.
A Star Vortex was a cosmic phenomenon, essentially an energy vortex. Once inside, one might be unharmed, trapped, or torn to shreds by the violent energy. As for what exactly would happen, Wang Yi’s understanding of Star Vortices was still too shallow for him to be certain.
Previously, Wang Yi had actually encountered a Star Vortex before. He had even performed Refinement on it, later integrating it into his Bronze Vintage Car, which granted the car its own Starlight Rush ability.
However, that Star Vortex had been formed when Wang Yi self-detonated his Starlight River; you could say he had created it by a fluke. Perhaps that was why the system had allowed him to perform Refinement on it. But this Star Vortex inside the Fourth Ark, he couldn’t refine it at all.
To be cautious, Wang Yi sent out a Fantasy Avatar. This Fantasy Avatar took the form of the Monkey King, holding his Golden Cudgel. It sized up the Star Vortex ahead, then flew over on a Somersault Cloud.
POOF!
The Fantasy Avatar vanished in an instant, just like a popping bubble. It didn’t even get close to the Deep Blue Chaos Egg.
’It really is dangerous!’
Wang Yi thought to himself that it was a good thing he hadn’t acted rashly. Of course, he wasn’t discouraged. He soon sent out a second Fantasy Avatar.
This time, however, the Fantasy Avatar didn’t just charge in thoughtlessly. It seemed to have learned its lesson, flying slowly into the Star Vortex. At first, everything went smoothly, but then it was suddenly caught as if in a whirlpool, dragged deep into the Star Vortex, and shredded by countless points of starlight.
’Destroyed again? No big deal. I have plenty of avatars. Even if it’s just a matter of luck, I refuse to believe I can’t find a way!’
Wang Yi continued to send out Fantasy Avatars, this time releasing two at once.
But soon, these two avatars also perished in the starlight vortex. After entering the Star Vortex, one of them came to a near standstill, then its body rapidly decayed as if it had died of old age.
The other was blasted away by an immense force, then swept into the Starlight River and shattered within it!
Wang Yi pressed on. Next came the fourth, fifth, sixth...
He continuously sent out Fantasy Avatars, testing all sorts of methods, but none succeeded. He couldn’t find any pattern; it seemed that what one encountered upon entering the Star Vortex was completely random.
It wasn’t until the thirty-third Fantasy Avatar made its move that things changed!
This Illusionary Clone simply walked slowly into the starlight vortex, but its path was completely smooth, with no obstacles whatsoever. It picked up the Deep Blue Chaos Egg, slowly walked back out, and emerged miraculously unscathed.
’Awesome!’
Wang Yi quickly took the Deep Blue Chaos Egg and thought, ’A dissipating Star Vortex really is hard to figure out. Still, the goal has been achieved. It took some effort, but the result is pretty great.’
’I’ll hatch it right here and see what kind of Giant Beasts come out!’
Wang Yi immediately began to hatch the Deep Blue Chaos Egg on the spot. The Chaos Egg rapidly expanded, soon reaching a hundred feet in height. Then, its shell shattered, and two Giant Apes emerged from within.
The two Giant Apes looked identical, with pale blue fur. They had long tails, powerfully built bodies, stood upright, and each had a single horn on its brow. One horn was golden, the other silver!
Upon hatching, they both opened their mouths at the same time. One let out a "hum," and the other a "ha." Their voices were loud and resonant, powerful enough to shake one’s very soul.
Wang Yi hurriedly checked the Attribute Information of the two Giant Beasts. He discovered that the one with the golden horn on its brow was named [Golden-Horned Hou], and the one with the silver horn was named [Silver-Horned Hou]. They were already level 100 right after hatching and could continue to grow naturally over time.
The [Golden-Horned Hou] possessed four skills: [Hum Character Spell], [Deep Blue Form], [Heavenly Law], and [World King Fist]!
The [Silver-Horned Hou] also had four skills: [Ha Character Spell], [Deep Blue Form], [Elephant Earth], and [Ultimate Intent Fist]!
In addition, the two shared a combination skill called [Fusion]!
Looking at the skill descriptions, both the [Hum Character Spell] and the [Ha Character Spell] were Ancient Divine Language Spells, somewhat similar to the Six-Character True Mantra True Demon Spell. They possessed the power of Suppression and annihilation!
The [Deep Blue Form] was a Transformation skill. Upon use, their bodies would shrink into a human form, concentrating their power and greatly increasing their combat strength.
[Heavenly Law] and [Elephant Earth] were also Transformation skills, but they made the body larger. The higher their level, the larger their transformed size would be. After transforming, their strength and defense would increase, but they would lose their agility. Additionally, they would be unable to use [Hum Character Spell], [Ha Character Spell], [World King Fist], or [Ultimate Intent Fist], and could only fight with brute force.
And [World King Fist] and [Ultimate Intent Fist] could only be used in their Deep Blue Form. The former had a massive attack range and could inflict area-of-effect damage. The latter had an extremely long range and exceptionally high attack power, but it was a single-target attack.
