Before long, the friend request was accepted.
Zhou Qi immediately asked, “Brother, where in Shennongjia did you find that monster?”
After a conversation, Zhou Qi learned the approximate location and planned to prepare for the next step of development.
In the evening, dusk gradually fell.
Zhou Qi came to the duty room and took out the fossilized eggs he had treasured for a long time, intending to strengthen them during this period.
After putting them into his backpack one by one, Zhou Qi flew to the Underground Base. These days, the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen had been continuously breeding more dependents, and their strength had also greatly improved compared to before.
Under the conversion of Mental Energy by the Faith Crown, Zhou Qi's Mental Power also rose steadily, and his mental inner world had expanded to 130 meters in diameter.
In just a moment, Zhou Qi arrived at the Underground Base.
Inside the underground cave, the land was entirely occupied by the dependents, and the roars and wails of creatures could occasionally be heard from the underground lake.
Zhou Qi observed the lake surface, looking into the depths of the water, where Fifth-Order River Earl Insects seemed to have incarnated as true River Earls, controlling the water currents to continuously repel enemies.
Monsters like the nine-headed monster, frogmen, and even some strange monsters Zhou Qi had never seen before, which he had encountered in the underground lake, were all driven to the lakeside by the Fifth-Order River Earl Insects.
Zhou Qi placed the Tai Cang Dragon fossilized eggs on the ground.
“Ding, consuming 10,000 Evolution Points, Tai Cang Dragon has been strengthened into a First-Order Tai Cang Dragon. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Elementary favorability with the First-Order Tai Cang Dragon.”
......
Instantly, the three basketball-sized fossilized eggs began to tremble violently.
With a “crack,” the first Tai Cang Dragon fossilized egg completely split open, and a small but powerful Tai Cang Dragon cub hatched.
Its body resembled a crocodile, dark brown overall, but its legs were thick and long. Its dense scales shimmered with a metallic luster, making it look like a hybrid of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a crocodile.
As soon as it was born, it used its sharp claws to scratch marks on the ground. Its distinct black and white vertical pupils revealed ferocity and greed, as if all things in the world could be its prey.
Almost at the same moment, the other two fossilized eggs also began to shake violently.
The sound of cracking eggshells rose and fell, and two equally fierce Tai Cang Dragon cubs appeared one after another.
They raised their heads, emitting sharp hisses, their voices filled with curiosity and a desire to conquer this new world.
As soon as the three Tai Cang Dragon cubs were born, they started moving. Seeing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but admire them; they truly were Advanced lifeforms.
They began to slowly pace around Zhou Qi, seemingly sensing the powerful energy emanating from him, regarding him as their master.
Zhou Qi looked at the three lively little ones in front of him, a slight smile on his lips, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.
However, the four animal strengthening slots were already used up: one Seventh-Order Lizardmen and three First-Order Tai Cang Dragons.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi suddenly wondered about Moga Luo's current situation. The distance was too far; he could only sense that they were still alive but couldn't perceive their circumstances.
As Zhou Qi pondered, he completely failed to notice that the eyes of one of the Little Taicang Dragons were entirely different from the other two; it lacked that dull look.
............
On the other side, a Little Taicang Dragon, who had just awakened and revived with the mysterious power of the Evolution Space, followed behind Zhou Qi, observing the creatures in the underground cave with eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
“What era have I revived in? Where is {Endless Devourer}—Uroboros now?” A human-like gleam flashed in the Little Taicang Dragon's eyes; it was actually an intelligent species.
“Whose cave is this King's? Are these strange insects his dependents?”
Uka, who was this Little Taicang Dragon, kept pondering inwardly as he looked at everything around him.
He was originally a Divine Envoy of {Endless Devourer}—Uroboros. When invading Earth from a distant side of the world, he was struck by an Old God, causing his body to shatter.
Uroboros, at the moment of his impending death, fused his body with this Tai Cang Dragon egg. Relying on a wisp of immortal matter bestowed by Uroboros, he managed to survive.
He was supposed to hatch in a few days, but he didn't expect the war to be so intense that the entire Earth's ecosystem collapsed.
A series of natural disasters followed, and Uka, with his memories, fell into slumber until now.
If Zhou Qi hadn't used the Evolution Space to strengthen him, Uka might never have awakened until his Soul dissipated.
“What species is he? An ape-man? No, not quite; he has no fur, and his height isn't right.” Uka followed behind Zhou Qi, his eyes darting around.
He was very curious about Zhou Qi's race but found that he had never seen it before, yet he inexplicably felt a fondness for Zhou Qi.
Upon reaching the stone wall, Uka looked at the orderly caves above it. Before he could look around, an invisible force lifted him and the other two Little Taicang Dragons, floating them in the air.
Uka shivered, wanting to resist but finding himself utterly unable to move, like a small horse pulling a large cart.
He simply stopped resisting and followed the strange man and the two Little Taicang Dragons as they flew into one of the caves.
In a blink of an eye, one person and three Dragons arrived at the huge cave where the fourth-order tai sui meat was located.
Uka continuously observed the cave, suddenly noticing “small insects” on the ground, each carrying a tiny piece of high-energy substance.
His eyes went straight. This high-energy substance only existed in super lifeforms; ordinary lifeforms would greatly enhance their life potential and growth rate after eating it.
Yet here, it was being carried away by small insects.
The scene before him was of Five-Ranked Army Ants using their mandibles to carry pieces of broken tai sui meat to the surrounding caves where Yellow Mealworms were being bred.
Uka tried hard not to snatch these high-energy substances from these insects, but the other two Little Taicang Dragons couldn't resist attacking the Five-Ranked Army Ants, wanting to snatch food from their mouths.
Unexpectedly, before they could even take a bite, a Five-Ranked Army Ant bit their front leg with its mandible, and a sharp sting instantly assailed this Little Taicang Dragon.
Several surrounding Five-Ranked Army Ants, seeing this, were about to rush forward to pin down and dismember this Little Taicang Dragon.
Uka didn't expect these small insects to be so fierce. One must know that Tai Cang Dragons were Advanced lifeforms.
Even if they had just hatched and were fighting one-on-one, an ordinary wild wolf might not be an opponent.
He was even more surprised that these small insects could so easily bite through the Little Taicang Dragon's scales.
Seeing the other small insects approaching, Uka, even though he felt he was no match, still stepped forward to help.
After taking two steps forward, he felt as if his entire body was frozen like a small insect in amber, floating motionless towards the depths of the cave, next to that strange man.
“This is? A Titans!” The Little Taicang Dragon exclaimed in surprise.
