The level 7 giant octopus monster never dreamed that one second it was incubating its eggs, and the next second it and its eggs would be in a strange environment.
Octopuses lay eggs, that's normal, but the eggs of this giant octopus are freaking huge.
With a diameter of up to ten meters, this nest contained more than a hundred eggs.
Here, the sky and earth are both gray and hazy, and there is nothing else.
The unfamiliar environment made the giant octopus monster begin to become agitated.
Having grown to level 7, this octopus monster's intelligence is naturally no less than that of a human. Although it was anxious, it remained motionless.
It is well aware that its greatest strengths are its defensive capabilities and reproductive capacity.
No matter where he was, no matter who the enemy was, whether strong or weak, he needed to hatch these hundred-plus eggs first.
It would be safer to wait until they form a large octopus army before sending them out to explore.
Just then, one after another, similar figures appeared nearby.
These were all level 6 and level 5 octopus monsters. In the blink of an eye, this area became an ocean of octopus monsters.
The giant octopus extended its tentacles, and with a swift motion in mid-air, it pulled a level 6 octopus monster right in front of it.
"Mmm..." The giant octopus made a series of strange sounds.
This is the octopus monster's language system, which translates to: What exactly is going on? Have you figured out who the enemy is?
The octopus monster also made a series of "uh-huh, ooh-ooh!" sounds, roughly meaning: It's a human, a terrifying human, and we have no power to fight back against this human.
Over the next few hours, more and more octopus monsters were thrown in.
But they were all level 6 and level 5 octopus monsters.
The giant octopus leader dispatched all the octopus monsters to explore this gray space.
The feedback that came back filled the octopus leader with despair.
This place is vast, almost boundless.
And apart from them and a gray, desolate world, there was nothing else.
They didn't know where they were, but they did know one thing: they might be trapped here and die.
There is no water, no food, and if they cannot find a way out, there is only one outcome for them.
What these octopus monsters didn't know was that within this Grid Space that Fusion the World Mark, they wouldn't die even if they didn't eat or drink.
To prevent these octopus monsters from damaging other areas of the Grid Space and the resources in their area, Ling Yi gave them a separate area to operate in.
During this cleanup, Ling Yi only eliminated the octopus monsters of level 5 and above.
The offspring of a level 5 octopus monster will all be level 2 octopus monsters.
Although the number is not small, the highest level is only level 2.
They no longer pose any threat to humanity; instead, they become experience monsters for the Chosen One to gain experience.
When Ling Yi returned to Dafeng City, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Ling Yi changed his clothes, put away his Joker mask, and drove to the high-speed rail station to pick up his sister.
Sitting in the waiting hall, watching the crowds come and go.
Ling Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Within a year of the arrival of the Chosen One Brand, only the Ancient Country could barely maintain its state before the arrival of the Chosen One Brand.
This is directly related to the efforts of the official team and TTZ.
Although there were some ambitious Old Liu among them, they were ultimately a minority.
To paraphrase what I said in my previous life, though imperfect, she is worthy of deep love.
The Ancient Country of Myriad Worlds are one family; perhaps I should do something about it.
It's not about the saying "with great power comes great responsibility," nor would I dare say that the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people.
But as long as his own safety is guaranteed, Ling Yi doesn't mind doing more.
Lost in thought, Ling Yi suddenly spotted a familiar figure on a seat to his right.
Fan Shuang'er.
I never expected to run into her here.
Although Fan Shuang'er was wearing large sunglasses and a mask, Ling Yi still recognized her at a glance.
At that moment, Fan Shuang'er was looking down at her phone when she seemed to sense someone watching her. She looked up and her eyes met Ling Yi's.
Fan Shuang'er frowned, adjusted her skirt and posture, gave Ling Yi a warning look, and then lowered her head to continue scrolling through her phone.
Does this person think they're some kind of genius?
Ling Yi suddenly felt like teasing Fan Shuang'er. With a thought, Fan Shuang'er's sunglasses appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
This startled Fan Shuang'er. She looked up in a daze and saw Ling Yi opposite her, taking her sunglasses and putting them on her own eyes.
How is that possible? How did they manage to do that?
Keep in mind that she is now a Level 6 Chosen One, and her Perception and Battle Power are among the best of Chosen One.
Especially after she received S Grade rating last time, Yu Cheng activated the Mechanical Body skill, making her Battle Power far exceed that of ordinary level 6 Chosen One.
Battle Power represents the basic attributes of the Chosen One, which is a comprehensive basic value of parameters such as strength, Perception, reaction, agility, speed, physique, and life.
However, the Chosen One's Battle Power parameter does not take into account external bonuses such as skills and equipment.
Hmm? Wait, why do I feel a sense of familiarity with this guy?
While there are many skills for retrieving objects from Across Space, those that can be done so silently are extremely rare.
Fan Shuang'er's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up abruptly, walking a few steps to Ling Yi.
Is it you?
"Yes, that's me!"
"Is it really you?"
Ling Yi made a mask-wearing gesture on his face. "It's definitely me!"
Now that Ling Yi has made a move, he is prepared to expose his identity.
Back then, Fan Shuang'er didn't hesitate to take off her mask in front of me and reveal her Chosen One ID.
Although it was somewhat irrational, it also shows how much Fan Shuang'er trusted him at the time.
Of course, none of that is the key point. The key point is that Ling Yi now has enough strength to protect himself.
This confidence stems not only from his conceptual skills, but also from the Grid Space filled with the World Mark.
While Ling Yi was collecting the octopus monster that morning, Ling Yi thought struck him: could he enter the Grid Space?
As it turns out, it is possible.
You can come and go as you please.
None of that is the key point. The key point is that Ling Yi has absolute control within the Grid Space.
It's that kind of power where I'm the master, I'm in charge of my own territory, and I have complete control.
With the Grid Space, if I ever encounter a danger that I can't handle, I can just hide in the Grid Space, hehe!
If you're so capable, why don't you chase me all the way to the Grid Space?
"Do you know how dangerous you are right now?" Fan Shuang'er sat down next to Ling Yi and said.
"How dangerous is it?" Ling Yi asked.
"You're on the Church of Truth's kill list. Once their identity is confirmed, it will be a fight to the death!"
"So, the Church of Truth's so-called idea of eliminating the Chosen One and stopping the invading monsters is just nonsense!"
"Only a fool would believe that. If it were truly to Guard the world, why were there no members of the Church of Truth present when they were clearing out the invading monsters?"
"This time, nearly a thousand Level 5 supernatural entities invaded various parts of the world, causing enormous casualties and destruction. Why hasn't the Church of Truth appeared yet?"
"Then what was their real purpose in killing the Chosen One?"
"Who knows? But I do have a guess, though I have no evidence."
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Sometimes, suspicion is enough; evidence isn't necessary."
Fan Shuang'er's eyes lit up; Ling Yi's idea was exactly the same as hers.
He glanced around and said, "This isn't the place to talk. We'll go to your house after we pick up your sister!"
Fan Shuang'er has Data Manipulation capabilities, and she has gained some fame online recently, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to find out her information in the real world.
Ling Yi didn't take it to heart.
"Oh, right, I also want to thank you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to activate the Mechanical Body skill."
"Is the Mechanical Body skill very powerful?" Ling Yi asked.
"Hmm, that's more impressive than I imagined. But you're even more impressive; you managed to take down the octopus army in just a few hours."
"We'll team up next time we log into the Mission World, and then you'll see," Fan Shuang'er said with a smile.
"Your sister's high-speed train has arrived. Let's go to the exit and wait for her."
Ling Yi checked the time; sure enough, it was already 2:30.
Indeed, possessing the ability to Data Manipulation makes one practically omniscient and omnipotent in the modern world.
The two left the waiting hall and went directly to the exit.
Ling Li spotted Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er beside him from Ling Yi, and her eyes lit up immediately.
Dude, you've finally figured it out? You actually found a girlfriend?
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Ling Li greeted Fan Shuang'er first, without looking at Ling Yi.
That "Hello, sister-in-law" made Fan Shuang'er blush instantly.
"Shut up, this is Fan Shuang'er, she's mine, um, my teammate."
" Shuang'er Shuang'er, your eyes are so beautiful!" Ling Li exclaimed.
" Xiao Li is very pretty too! Your family has great genes!"
The two women quickly became acquainted and chatted and laughed together. Anyone who didn't know them would think they had known each other since childhood!
Ling Yi had just driven away from the high-speed rail station with the two women.
Fan Shuang'er, who was chatting with Ling Li, suddenly said, " Ling Yi, your identity has been exposed!"
"Who? Yan Wuqie?"
"No, although Yan Wuqie and Hong Yunying both guessed your identity, it was Chi Hu who truly exposed it!"
"Furthermore, Chi Hu has also joined the Church of Truth."
" Chi Hu joined the Church of Truth Church of Truth just one day? Looks like he'd been in contact with them for a while!" Ling Yi said dismissively.
In his view, neither the Chi Hu nor the Church of Truth were anything more than small fry.
" Ling Yi, never underestimate the Church of Truth. You know my abilities, but even now I still can't find where their Church of Truth are."
"I even suspect that the Church of Truth's headquarters aren't actually on Blue Star."
"Furthermore, based on the information I gathered from various branches of the Church of Truth, it seems there are Chosen One of Level 10 or higher within the Church of Truth."
"Are you sure? Doesn't Chosen One reaching level 10 mean the Ten Realms Contest Competition is about to begin?"
But then Ling Yi suddenly paused.
"No, you mean these Chosen One above level 10 don't belong to the Ancient Source Realm?"
Ling Li interrupted, asking, "Brother, what is the Ancient Source Realm?"
" The Ancient Source Realm is the name of our world," Fan Shuang'er explained.
"However, I only have suspicions; I don't have concrete evidence yet. I have a phone recording here; please listen to it."
As Fan Shuang'er spoke, she snapped her the Snap, and a conversation immediately came from the car's speakers.
The two people talking were a man and a woman, and judging from their voices, they were both quite old.
"We can currently only unleash a maximum of level 9 Battle Power, and we cannot act rashly."
"Slow down during this period and wait until the official version is released."
"Okay, I understand. We've been away from home for too long."
"Yes, I've almost forgotten what rice tea tastes like."
The conversation ended there, but it revealed quite a bit of information.
