531 Inside the Cocoon (1/2)

Xia Xuanyue could not help but look at John. Although he used to have the title of Saint, titles were just a joke in the six families.

Ignoring Xia Xuanyue's generation, even amongst John's peers, there was also a freak like Lance. John paled in comparison.

Now that John had actually been praised by Dugu Ge, Xia Xuanyue could not help but take a closer look at him.

John stood in the arena like an ancient Greek statue. Despite just standing there, he gave off a beautiful, holy feeling. His aura was indeed very strong, making him likely to be at the Epic stage. However, Xia Xuanyue did not know what horror Dugu Ge was referring to.

”Why do you say that?” Xia Xuanyue walked up to Dugu Ge and asked curiously.

”He has a special power,” Dugu Ge said as he looked at John.

”Special?” Xia Xuanyue did not understand what Dugu Ge meant by special.

Many Essence Energy Arts, Essence Energy Skills, Pets, Life Providences, and Life Souls could be called special powers. This description was just too general.

Dugu Ge said, ”I entered a dimensional zone with Loser. In that dimensional zone, I found a black cocoon. Did he tell you about it?”

”No, but I've heard of such cocoons. The six families have similar records. There will be similar cocoons in certain mysterious dimensional zones. However, there will be powerful Mythical creatures nearby. No one knows what's inside the cocoons. Most people have guessed that they might be the descendants of Mythical creatures,” said Xia Xuanyue.

”No, they are definitely not the descendants of ordinary Mythical creatures. Back then, Loser and I cracked a black cocoon and saw the creature inside. It was completely different from the Mythical creature that protected it. It was an even more terrifying existence,” Dugu Ge said as his gaze landed on John. He said affirmatively, ”There's a similar aura on John, but it's not quite the same.”

”What kind of creature is it? Why has my brother never mentioned it?” Xia Xuanyue asked.

”I don't know. We originally thought that with our strength and Mythical pets, it wouldn't be difficult for us to take the black cocoon even if we couldn't defeat the Mythical creature guarding it. In the end, we used all our strength and only managed to crack open a tiny hole. We were nearly killed by the creature outside the black cocoon. As for the creature inside the black cocoon, it just waved its hand,” Dugu Ge paused before continuing, ”and Loser suffered serious injuries. You can say that we barely escaped death. He recuperated at my house for nearly six months before he recovered.”

”It was probably then. Anyone who has seen such a terrifying creature would not be indifferent. However, it was too dangerous. He probably didn't want you to worry and was afraid that you would stop him from going again. That's why he didn't tell you,” said Dugu Ge.

”You're saying that John has the aura of that kind of creature?” Xia Xuanyue looked at John with a strange expression.

”Yes, but it's different. I'm not sure if it's the same aura,” Dugu Ge said.

”What are you talking about?” A voice came from behind. A long-haired man in a robe walked over.

The man looked ordinary, but his eyes were exceptionally good-looking. They weren't considered big, nor were they double eyelids, but the contours were especially aesthetic.

”Zhang Chunqiu, why are you willing to come out?” Dugu Ge looked at the man in surprise.

Dugu Ge hadn't lost when he challenged the young scions of the six families years ago. However, there were also people who could fight him to a draw. Zhang Chunqiu was one of them.
