Chapter 378 - 272: Transforming into an Alien Species_2

Chapter 378: Chapter 272: Transforming into an Alien Species_2Over the past ten or so days, he had been active in the northern hemisphere of Earth Abyss Star.

First, he returned to Guardian City to replenish firearms, weapons, and some supplies, then headed to the southern hemisphere, still keeping away from high-level danger zones, choosing an area on the edge, completely opposite to his previous direction, thousands of kilometers away.

The climate of Earth Abyss Star underwent minimal changes, without distinct seasons.

There was hardly any difference between the southern and northern hemispheres, with the surface still covered by dense vegetation, endless primitive forests and grasslands, which could easily make one lose their way.

As soon as Ji Xinghuo arrived here, he first surveyed the surrounding environment and monsters, confirming there was little danger before he began to gather monsters.

However, he soon realized a problem after starting.

The monsters could not be gathered!

As before, many monsters would not chase too far, their initiative greatly reduced, often giving up or falling behind.

The commotion created wasn’t big enough to attract more distant monsters to create a snowball effect.

"Damn it,"

Ji Xinghuo simply turned back and, like slicing through vegetables, killed over a thousand monsters, reaping more than a thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability and a dozen Merit points.

Looking at the bodies strewn all around, he was pensive.

He then returned to the underground tunnels, switched to a First Level area thousands of kilometers away and tried to gather monsters again. The result didn’t surprise him; still, he couldn’t gather them, the number reaching little more than a thousand before it was impossible to increase any further.

"All the monsters on Earth Abyss Star are controlled by the same will or a system," Ji Xinghuo confirmed his suspicion.

"They are not those kinds of loosely organized unintelligent beings."

"Having killed so many monsters, the will behind them targeted me, sending the Fungal Giant and Poison Stinger Flying Dragon, but it misjudged my strength."

"Next time, it will definitely be more dangerous!"

Ji Xinghuo’s gaze became grave.

He realized he had to be more cautious in his actions on Earth Abyss Star, not being able to hunt a large number of monsters as wildly as he had done the previous ten days. As such, the efficiency of obtaining Spiritual Origin Ability and Merit would drop significantly, but for the sake of safety, it was better to keep a low profile.

After that, Ji Xinghuo began hunting monsters, but never stayed in one area for more than two days.

No longer pursuing attracting too many monsters, he would engage a group as soon as he found them, first shooting part with his Crystal Light Gun, and then when the monsters charged, he would chop them down with his War Axe.

With electromagnetic induction,

Ji Xinghuo stated simply, taking a green mushroom out of his backpack; it was an incarnation of the Fungal Giant, an Alien Species. It was one of the most valuable things he possessed, which he didn’t need, and he figured his family and friends probably wouldn’t either, so he decided to sell it for Ether Crystals.

Xuan Ming took the Alien Species and appraised it, admiringly saying, "Good stuff!"

"This incarnation of an Alien Species qualifies for the auction house; I accept the consignment," he said, turning to Ji Xinghuo, "Set a starting price."

"What do you think is appropriate, Lord?" Ji Xinghuo asked, adding, "I only sell for Ether Crystals."

Xuan Ming replied immediately, "Start at 30."

"Good."

Ji Xinghuo agreed to the starting price, which was much higher than he had anticipated. Xuan Ming, who had been managing the Rare Treasures Auction House for many years, was sure to have set the right price.

"You have the Purple Crystal Badge, so after a successful auction, we only charge a 10% commission fee, deducted from the final price. There’s no fee if the item doesn’t sell," Xuan Ming explained, "Here’s our consignment contract; read it thoroughly and if you find it satisfactory, you can sign."

He took out a palm-sized crystal tablet, input content with flashing light, and handed it over.

After reading, Ji Xinghuo used a crystal pen to sign his name.

Soon, the auction house’s main screen refreshed, adding the Fungal Giant’s incarnation as an Alien Species and detailing the abilities it possessed.

"Fungal Giant Incarnation, quantity: 1, starting bid: 30 Ether Crystals, current bid: none, time remaining: 10 Star Time."

Such a powerful Alien Species immediately caused a stir.

As Ji Xinghuo entered the hall, he found that bids had already been placed, and the competition was fierce; the price had surged past 45 Ether Crystals after a few rounds of bidding.

This was completely unexpected.

"Is it really that valuable?" Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the value of this incarnation of an Alien Species.
