Mingxi observed them with surprise, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Of course, not awakening wasn't a big problem.

To prevent anyone or any pet beast from being so full they came to disturb Lan Yue and the others' evolution, Mingxi had Xue Qingting set up a large number of sub-worms around the light cocoons.

"Hard?"

Perhaps because it was a collective pet beast, Xue Qingting's ability to multitask was terrifyingly strong.

On one side, it controlled the sub-worms, fighting splendidly, while on the other, it watched the evolution light cocoons of Lan Yue and the two others with great interest.

It was equally amazed that they had evolved simultaneously!

This was the first time it had seen such a grand occasion, so it was inevitably excited and curious, even paying more attention to this side than to the battle over there.

It was only because it had contracted with Mingxi later that it hadn't seen a larger-scale simultaneous evolution; otherwise, it would have been even calmer than Golden Yuanbao and the others.

Mingxi had always doted on her pet beasts and didn't feel that Xue Qingting was 'neglecting its duties'.

She carefully and thoroughly explained the concept of synchronized evolution.

"Hard."

So amazing.

Xue Qingting genuinely sighed in admiration; it truly respected Lan Yue and the others, and of course, its own Beast Tamer.

It knew very well that it was because of her existence that all of this was possible.

Mingxi stroked its unfolded shell armor, "You don't need to envy them. Who knows, maybe when you evolve to Venerable-level, or even Divine-level, you'll also synchronize your evolution with Golden Yuanbao and the others?

Although the dream is far-fetched, it doesn't prevent us from being full of anticipation for the future.

Right?"

Xue Qingting looked at the girl's smiling face and couldn't help but smile as well.

A smile that brought warmth like spring.

"Hard!"

Mingxi: "..."

Stunned.

She always felt that Xue Qingting's cry, in this context, was a bit... inappropriate.

"Stop! You can't kill it!"

A heart-wrenching, shrill scream made everyone and every extraordinary being's thoughts freeze for a moment.

Mingxi looked towards the corner.

There was a disheveled woman there.

It was Atuka.

To be precise, Atuka Lawrence.

Atuka Lawrence, a doctor of anthropology and biology, an S-Class Breeder, and also one of the main persons in charge of this underground laboratory, who had presided over many experiments that broke laws, morals, and ethics.

This person's Beast Tamer level wasn't high, but due to the Meat Tumor Monster's intentional or unintentional protection, she had safely survived until now.

"Julian is the most important experimental subject in our laboratory. Its existence is humanity's hope for a higher civilization. You cannot kill it!"

Hehe.

Humanity's hope for a higher civilization?

What kind of higher civilization?

A perverted civilization?

Mingxi stated that she had no interest in becoming a mountain of flesh! And she certainly didn't like her friends and family becoming mountains of flesh!

She scrutinized Atuka.

At this moment, her panic and urgency were not fake, at least much more real than her previous pitiful appearance.

She hadn't expected the situation to suddenly take such a drastic turn.

Mingxi's four later pet beasts were so strong that they seemed to be in two completely different worlds from the other pet beasts. Julian, who had been overwhelmingly dominant just now, found it extremely difficult to even resist after these four pet beasts arrived.

It was retreating steadily, its aura weakening.

Even its pressure had dissipated!

If this continued, experimental subject number 21 would really be killed!

No!

What she had spent on experimental subject number 21 was not just her effort, but her entire youth.

It was her salvation, and her hope!

However.

Mingxi glanced at her, then turned her gaze away again.

As if she hadn't heard Atuka's voice, she firmly gave the command to Golden Yuanbao and the other three:

"Kill!"

Golden Yuanbao and the three others did not hesitate.

Super-strong, super-frequency skills struck the Meat Tumor Monster.

Although it had regenerative abilities, it needed to devour other creatures to achieve regeneration.

Now, the living humans and extraordinary beings with breath left in this underground laboratory could be counted on two hands.

And it had no chance to devour them again.

Golden Yuanbao and the three others simply wouldn't give it that chance.

"Boom!"

Golden Yuanbao's Divine Demon Lightning entered the Meat Tumor Monster's decaying body. The black heart, dug out from who knows what creature, was about to turn to ashes under the rampage of the lightning.

However, just as the heart was completely annihilated.

A sudden change occurred!

Space hummed.

The Meat Tumor Monster, no, Julian, suddenly spat out a dark red blood bead from its mouth.

This blood bead was vividly colored, its aura extremely ominous, and its surface was carved with complex dark red cloud patterns.

It seemed to be composed of endless blood and various twisted rules, emitting a heart-pounding power mixed with a forbidden aura.

Like a ghost breaking free from its shackles, it rose from the lightning!

Light burst forth!

Seeing this blood bead, Mingxi's eyes, already as bright as light bulbs, became even more dazzling.

Because when this blood bead appeared, the quiet Wenwan Walnut (Book of Rules) spontaneously detached from space and appeared in Mingxi's hand.

"Little Silver Flower!"

What else was there for Mingxi not to understand? This blood bead, filled with chaotic aura and forbidden power, was the other volume of the Book of Rules she had been searching for in vain.

No wonder this Meat Tumor Monster was so overpowered.

It had the Book of Rules inside it; how could it not be overpowered?

No wonder she felt the Meat Tumor Monster's aura was somewhat familiar!

Understanding Mingxi's hint, Little Silver Flower used its telekinesis to quickly move the blood bead walnut towards Mingxi.

Golden Yuanbao and the others also understood the importance of the blood bead and didn't bother to continue targeting the Meat Tumor Monster.

They all released skills to escort Little Silver Flower.

Emerald Green even quickly canceled the friendly tags for Atuka and the other humans (extraordinary beings).

To prevent anyone from taking advantage to snatch the treasure.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Little Silver Flower successfully delivered the 'blood bead walnut' to Mingxi.

When the two 'Wenwan walnuts' collided.

"Buzz—!"

The soft sound of heaven and earth resounded again.

They suddenly virtualized, overlapping like two sheets of paper.

The next second, space suddenly darkened like a hellish abyss, without a single ray of light, all vision disappearing completely.

Mingxi felt a soft, familiar power envelop her.

It was Xue Qingting's shell armor.

"Buzz—!"

Light returned.

But it was still deep and dark; what met the eye was countless flowing patterns, forming a grand and mysterious scene.

The patterns varied in form, some like twisted light bands, others like ancient hieroglyphs. They were not static but slowly drifted and rotated in space, as if there was some invisible connection between them. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Light was the background color of the patterns, but not a ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) single hue; from deep ethereal blue to mysterious dark purple, from blazing golden-red to hazy silver-white, various halos intertwined and blended.

They outlined the contours of runes in the darkness and formed new layers of light and shadow where they converged.

The entire space seemed boundless due to these patterns, as if it had no limits.

The density of the patterns also changed as space extended; they were clear and discernible nearby, but gradually blurred in the distance, turning into a misty sea of light, causing one to feel awe and imagination for the unknown power when looking up.

This scene was beautiful, sacred, and solemn.

"The complete Book of Rules!"
