Han Ning followed Su Jie into the laboratory. Bai Yu was already waiting inside.
Su Jie was not surprised. Bai Yu was a research maniac. Whether it was before or now, he treated the laboratory as his bedroom and spent almost 24 hours inside.
Bai Yu stopped what he was doing when he saw Su Jie.
“Captain Su, what can I do for you?”
Su Jie sat down and said, “I’m here to tell you guys something.”
“Yesterday, the thousand man team of the Sun family and the Qin family were all wiped out in the caverns. The culprit was Researcher Bai’s prediction, the Primal Longevity Worm.”
Bai Yu nodded. He was already prepared for this, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
“What is the family’s intention?”
Su Jie said, “The family means that they will not stop excavating this place. A few days later, the two families will send their high-end combatants here to finish off that Longevity Worm King!”
“And you, master and disciple, your task is to complete the extraction of the Primal Longevity Worm after the battle. The family speculates that the genes inside the Primal Longevity Worm are definitely much better than the Origin Longevity Worm’s genes.”
Bai Yu agreed. “That’s for sure. The quality of the genes will definitely improve with the evolution of the lifeforms.”
“However…”
Bai Yu changed the topic.
“The family knows that there might be another two Primal dimensional beasts here, but they still don’t plan on giving up?”
Su Jie said helplessly, “Of course. If I’m not wrong, the higher-ups are already discussing sending troops.”
…
Ancestral planet, Sun family’s manor.
Just as Su Jie had said, ever since the news of the caverns had spread back, the Qin and Sun families had been holding a meeting overnight.
After a night of discussion, the two families finally reached a consensus.
Both families would not give up on the resources in the caverns of Mount Eternal.
They had already invested a lot of manpower and resources there. They would not give up halfway!
As a result, the two families decided to transfer their high-end combat power to the caverns of Mount Eternal. They would first eliminate the dimensional beasts there and then discuss the excavation of resources.
At this moment, it was already bright outside.
As one of the hosts of this meeting, Qin Yujiang looked at Sun Jingchi after the decision was made.
“Brother Sun, this is not the style of a family head.”
With that, he led the Qin family away.
In reality, the Qin family had always listened to Qin Yujiang’s words. The family meeting was only him passing on his decisions to the elders. Qin Yujiang had always scoffed at the Sun family’s way of discussion!
As a result, he immediately left the moment the meeting ended, not wanting to stay a second longer.
That night, Sun Jingcheng and Sun Mingze sat on the sofa in the living room. Sun Jingcheng stared at the huge manor outside the window for a long time before saying, “Mingze, do you agree with what Qin Yujiang said during the day?”
Sun Mingze was puzzled. “Father, are you referring to the family head’s style?”
Sun Jingcheng nodded.
Sun Mingze considered for a moment and carefully said, “Father, the elders of the family are indeed getting on in years. The Sun family’s stagnation in recent years has a lot to do with the dissent within the family.”
“Yeah.”
Sun Jingcheng was deep in thought and didn’t say anything else.
The decision of the two large financial groups was soon spread to the bottom levels of their respective families.
Within a few days, the Sun and Qin families dispatched experts from all over to the caverns of Mount Eternal.
Due to the fact that the Longevity Worm King was a Primal stage beast, and there might be two other Primal stage beasts on Mount Eternal, it could be said that the two families had paid a huge price.
The Sun family had dispatched two people, both at the Primal stage.
As for the Qin family, they had deployed four warriors at the Primal stage, two of whom had even reached the Primal-Ultimate Vitality Realm.
It had to be known that the caverns on Mount Eternal was only an underground cave. Not long ago, it had been an undeveloped land of the desolate wildlands. For the two families to be able to invest six Primal stage experts here was already very extravagant.
After all, the two families had many matters to settle, and it was impossible for them to allocate all their manpower to one place.
In the depths of Dimension, there were places far more mysterious and valuable than Mount Eternal.
In the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning had been devouring the blood and flesh of dimensional beasts for the past few days.
Ever since he and Bai Yu revealed their secrets, the master and disciple no longer hide anything from each other. As long as there was no one else around, Han Ning simply used the flesh of the dimensional beast in the research institute openly.
This place was different from before. The Sun family had been busy with the matters of the underground cave recently, so they didn’t have extra people to monitor Han Ning.
Therefore, Han Ning’s evolution path was almost unimpeded.
In order to evolve from the Ultimate Strength Realm to the Ultimate Vitality Realm, Han Ning needed to absorb 200 points of origin power.
In the past few days, he had consumed the flesh of the dimensional beasts three times.
These flesh and blood came from the Divine Blood Ant or the Longevity Worm. After the master and disciple extracted the genes, Han Ning would eat some on the spot, so there was no time for the Longevity Worm to rot.
The two dimensional beasts were both at the Origin realm, so they contained more origin power.
After three attempts, Han Ning had already obtained 92 points of origin power.
At this rate, he would be able to accumulate enough origin power in less than a week and successfully evolve to the Ultimate Vitality stage.
In addition to devouring the blood and flesh of the dimensional beasts, Han Ning had also done something very important, which was to give Bai Yu some of the Broken Unicorn’s genes that he had absorbed.
He had casually extracted this gene from the caverns, so no one knew about it before.
Han Ning asked Bai Yu to study it because he was curious about the level of lifeforms of this type of dimensional beast.
Logically speaking, Broken Unicorn should only be a Normal-level dimensional beast. Otherwise, the combined team from before would not have been able to defeat them so easily.
However, this kind of dimensional beast just so happened to display its incomparably delicate characteristics. The dead body and genetic energy were even harder to preserve than the Longevity Worm. This aroused Han Ning’s endless curiosity.
When Bai Yu received this kind of gene, he was also very astonished.
Back when he was in the caverns, he had wanted to extract them. However, the decomposition of the Broken Unicorn’s corpse was very rapid so Bai Yu didn’t get the chance to.
As it was the first time Bai Yu had come into contact with the Broken Unicorn’s genes, he would need to carry out a huge amount of analysis and comparison to determine the specific type and level. The result wouldn’t be out too soon.
It wasn’t urgent for Han Ning as well so he just waited.
However, over the past few days, Han Ning has also noticed that some teams would arrive at the periphery of the research institute.
He had asked Su Jie about them. These were the people dispatched by the Sun and Qin families. Among them were Normal combatants and a few Primal-level experts that had come one after another.
After these people arrived at Mount Eternal, they didn’t stay near the research institute. Instead, they headed straight for the entrance of the caverns that was five kilometers away.
In addition to the battle sequence, Han Ning also saw many workers.
They didn’t head to the caverns. Instead, they camped near the research institute.
From the looks of it, these people were planning to rush over there to excavate after the battle ended..
