Chapter 975: Supreme Monster (2/2)

It passed through the rope bowl and headed out. An adult monster had intended to land on the rock to inspect the eggs once. But, upon feeling a cold breeze all of a sudden, its wings instinctively flapped as it moved elsewhere.

After all, the place was always warm. So, none of them were accustomed to the feeling of cold. So, the moment it perceived some coldness, the adult escaped.

After it left, the Seamstress was still on the watch, using her Thermal Vision to look around, eventually heaving a sigh of relief. Similar situations continued to occur numerous times during the evening and the night.

And every time, Krune made them leave using his Cold Blood in conjunction with his Ocean Heart and Neon Radiance. Eventually, once the morning ended, the activity around them paused as all began to rest.

The adults returned to perch on the rock pillars while some of the pupae retreated into the river. As for the rest, they laid in wait within the forest.

Krune began to move slowly, crawling the rope bowl towards the rock pillar. They had to be cautious. Because if they moved faster, one of the adult monsters might assume them to be prey and attack them.

Thus, they had to move as slow as possible to ensure they wouldn't think of the rope bowl as moving. After all, they weren't as sentient as a human. So, they wouldn't be capable of thinking and logically deduce the positions of the rope bowl with respect to the different time stamps.

Eventually, they returned to the rock pillar's entrance as Krune lifted the rope bowl, tilting it to cover the entrance with it as the Seamstress entered first. She placed the two holders she carried on the ground, helping Krune remove the final one.

After that, Krune folded the rope bowl and brought it inside, shutting the entrance with a door they had created. It was a coral door that was coated with the mud from the rock pillar to keep the same texture. This way, none of the monsters might realize that they were hiding within.

”Phew, that was nerve-wracking.” Krune sighed, shaking a bottle that he carried to show that it was almost empty. The Seamstress too patted her bottle, nodding in response. Contained within it was the Healing Extract.

It was what they had used to sustain themselves for the day and to recover the stamina that they were constantly expending. As for the Seamstress, she had been using her Thermal Vision continuously, so she was getting tired with every passing time.

As for Krune, he had to use his abilities to keep any monster at bay. Not only that, but the two had to work in conjunction, using their hot and cold abilities to maintain the condition within the rope bowl to imitate the exterior.

Only in this way would the eggs remain unaffected. Otherwise, they wouldn't hatch. So, they were expending too much stamina and energy to execute the mission. The Healing Extract was what helped them all along.

As they had to move carefully, they couldn't have too much weight. So, they had only brought one bottle of the Healing Extract with them. If they had delayed any longer, their situation might have turned precarious.

The two then brought the 60 eggs to the top of the rock pillar, placing them at the edge of a large pool. This pool wasn't located within a cave but had been created atop a large rock pillar. They had used all the soil Krune had dug to solidify into a pool.

They had created quite a few of such pools, intending them to be used for the eggs. They planned to keep four eggs per pool as Krune looked at the Seamstress, saying, ”We'll split them into thirty for each. Let's see how we can develop them.”

”Alright, that sounds fun.” The Seamstress laughed.

”Also...” Krune chuckled. ”Farming for Godly Points is one thing. But, we must also consider the end result.”

”You mean…?” The eyes of the Seamstress widened in shock as she stared at Krune.

Nodding in response, Krune replied, ”They are a species that can naturally evolve once in their lifetime. Their accumulations during the pupa stage result in how powerful they become at the adult stage. So theoretically, all eggs have a potential to reach the peak.”

”And thanks to our bone trees…” Krune expressed in a solemn tone. ”If we put in enough effort, we might be able to produce one each…”

”A Supreme Monster.”
