Chapter 946: Chapter 946
Tianpa Peng’s eyes revealed a deep sense of gratitude toward those few peak Strong Ones as he reached this place.
The Strong Ones behind him felt the same way.
Jia Yan somewhat understood, these Strong Ones were natives, or rather, descendants of renowned Strong Ones who were born here. Having grown up in this Galaxy, they harbored a strong sense of belonging to it. Their admiration for the top ten Strong Ones was boundless.
He couldn’t comprehend these feelings, but a weight settled in his heart, knowing that if these Strong Ones had such a strong sense of identification with this place, then his actions here would become even more difficult.
As he listened to Tianpa Peng recounting the past of this place and the surrounding barren scenery, although Jia Yan couldn’t discern any changes in the landscape, the delay was still advantageous for him.
Through Tianpa Peng’s words, Jia Yan learned that a hundred years ago, there had also been a theft on this planet. The Invader was torn in two by the fifth-ranked among the top ten Strong Ones.
There was also a Strong One who, after securing a spot in the assembly, tried to obtain more Chaos stones than the limit allowed, and was killed on the spot by their soldiers.
Such events not only introduced Jia Yan to the scenery but also subtly conveyed the strictness of this place, hoping that Jia Yan would not cause trouble.
"Alright, ahead is the gathering point for you contestants. I’ve already told you about the specific gathering method. I hope you won’t mess around. Go and gather!"
Coming to an open area with only a huge house in front of him, Tianpa Peng stood still and directly addressed Jia Yan.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, although everyone highly values the Chaos stone, it is fraught with a potent toxin that can even pose a great danger to us Starry Sky Level Strong Ones, which is why we don’t go over there. If you spend too long collecting, an accident might happen, so I hope you come out quickly. The inside may look beautiful, but we don’t want you to stay longer than ten minutes, understand?"
Tianpa Peng seemed to remember something and said to Jia Yan.
He purposefully mentioned the dangers of the Chaos stone now, to scare him at this moment. As a soldier here, he did not want any accidents to occur, so speaking now would be a great intimidation to an average Strong Creature.
Prior to this, their tactic had been very effective; normally, a Starry Sky Level Strong One would stay inside for around twenty minutes. The higher-ups had instructed them to say the bottom line was fifteen minutes, but Tianpa Peng had always said five minutes less, causing the Strong Ones collecting inside to always leave in a hurry after just grabbing a few Chaos stones, leading to much laughter among them.
However, this time, Big Mosquito, who had his back turned to them and was facing forward, did not focus on that!
What he heard was "that’s why we do not go over"—that part of the sentence!
Gradually, a smirk emerged in Big Mosquito’s heart.
There, the opportunity he had been waiting for was being handed to him by the other party.
Since they were reluctant to casually enter the gathering point, there were too many things Jia Yan could manipulate!
As for the fact that the gathering point was reserved for the assembly’s powerful warriors and the ores inside were extremely scarce, Jia Yan didn’t care.
As long as this was a mining area, no matter how much Chaos stone ore was contained within, as long as it connected to the main vein, he would have a way!
"Until now, I had no solutions, but Tianpa Peng has simply given me an opportunity at the last moment! He even mentioned the Chaos stone carries a frightening toxin, a toxin that even the Starry Sky Strong fear. If he hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t dare to do what’s next. By speaking, he has actually offered me a tremendous opportunity!"
A surprise thrilled through Jia Yan’s heart!
"These Strong Ones fear the toxins here, and although I fear them too, my previous mutation easily allowed limb regrowth. As long as I mutate, something as trifling as a virus should be a problem I could easily solve, right?"
With this thought, Jia Yan’s eyes brimmed with excitement.
Although his heart experienced intense fluctuations, Jia Yan’s demeanor showed nothing amiss, as he stepped forward toward the towering building that stood more than fifty meters high.
The squad of Monster Soldiers watching Jia Yan from behind indeed did not approach.
They felt their Defense was absolutely sufficient, and the mere fact that the Chaos stone was toxic to life, feared even by Starry Sky Level beings, was a natural protective barrier. Since there had been several incidents before with Strong Ones trying to steal extra Chaos stones and consequently being captured due to poisoning, or dying from it within, all they had to do was ensure that Jia Yan didn’t steal too many Chaos stones too quickly and attempt to flee.
No matter how it was seen, it seemed the Outsider had no chance at all, and besides, he might not even be a thief. Their expressions were relaxed, some even engaging in idle chatter.
Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of the Monster Soldier Strong Creatures, Jia Yan walked into the huge building.
