181 Chapter 161: Proud Harvest
Richard looked at it three times to make sure he was right.
At this moment, his heart chilled.
The plane stone... The plane core.
No one could describe its value in simple words.
'Was that the stone of the plane that Jones had just taken?
'F*ck! Was this boss honestly that powerful?'
He quickly looked at the properties below.
[Dimension Stone]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristics: The cornerstone of the birth of a dimension. It can bear almost unlimited power. Perhaps, you can use it to forge divine artifacts.]
[Description: When a dimension is shattered, the stone will collapse along with it. Only the extremely rare dimension stone can be preserved.]
Jones did not seem to care too much about this and said.
"The dimension stone contains a sublimely vast amount of energy. At the same time, it can bear the most brutal power.
"In the future, when you build a wizard tower, you can use it as the core of the magic formation.
"Although you don't need it now, you might need it in the future."
Jones'words made Richard fall silent.
'Was this a big shot?
'Using a dimension stone as the core of the wizard tower's magic formation?
'This was a treasure that could bear the power of a dimension. Wasn't it a bit of a waste to use it as the core?'...
He delightedly placed this priceless treasure into the system space.
His humor was at its peak.
He had never been this excited even when he spent the night outside with his first love.
The S-rank mission reward was indeed outrageous!!
However, the only regret was this thing was too high-end. Richard could only keep it for future use.
When the time came, he might be able to forge a few divine artifacts...
Richard thought for a moment and said solemnly.
"President Jones, thank you for your generosity."
"However, my territory is not considered strong at the moment. Such top-grade items are temporarily unusable. Does our Scarlet Council have any items more suitable for me now?"
Jones could not help but laugh.
"No wonder Ferguson said that your personality is very similar to his...
"When you return, you can enter the warehouse and choose five items at will."
It said apologetically.
"But to realize our ideals, most of the items we have accumulated over the past few years have been used up. Only a few precious treasures left in the warehouse."
Richard was delighted.
"It's okay. My requirements are not high."
He did not expect Jones to be so generous. This time, he had earned a lot.
Jones seemed to have sensed something. It turned its head and glanced at the plane about to be destroyed.
"Someone from the Templar Church is chasing us. Let's leave first."
Richard looked at the pitch-black void but found nothing.
Jones did not wait for Richard to speak, its dark blue power erupted and enveloped him.
The surrounding void shattered.
In the next second, a tunnel with distorted light appeared in Richard's line of sight.
Across space.
In this area, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
Richard's perception of the outside world was completely suppressed. And he could only rely on his eyes to observe.
Half an hour later, Jones stopped.
He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the sand chrysalis behind him.
"Elder Richard, open this sand chrysalis."
Richard was stunned and didn't understand.
Because it wasn't the Third Princess inside the sand chrysalis.
With a wave of its hand, the sand grains dispersed.
Then, it revealed the pale golden sandworm egg he had obtained in the sandworm's lair.
What surprised him was that.
The ancient sandworm egg that had a weak aura and seemed like it could be broken at any time now glowed.
The mysterious pattern on it seemed to have come alive.
"What is it?"Jones said in surprise.
"This insect-killing egg is devouring the power of the void... It has the bloodline of the void."
"The bloodline of the void?"
Richard's eyes lit up, although he did not know what was special about the bloodline of the void.
It was extraordinary for Jones to pay so much attention to it.
This super boss took the dimension stone from the collapse of the dimension with its bare hands. It had such high standards.
After it sensed carefully for a moment, Jones confirmed its guess.
It stretched out its hand, and the surrounding distorted energy began to surge into it.
"The first drop of blood is on the eggshell. I will imprint your spirit into its soul. After it is born, it will perfectly obey your orders."
When Richard heard that, he immediately took action.
He went forward and dripped the blood on the eggshell.
When the blood seeped into the eggshell, a special connection arose in his heart.
He could feel that a weak life form has nurtured inside. It was on the verge of death as if it could be put to death at any moment.
However, what made him slightly relieved was the weak life form rapidly devoured the energy around it and grew stronger.
"The sandworms in that plane are most likely the descendants of the void sandworms.
"It's a pity that its power has deteriorated to the freezing point with no nourishment of void energy after countless years.
"This sandworm egg was laid by the pure-blooded void sandworms, as well as the power of void lifeforms."
Jones controlled void energy to irrigate the golden egg and explained to Richard.
"Void lifeforms are lifeforms born outside the plane. Their power is incomparably strapping. And they are naturally able to resist the erosion of the void.
"Even transcendents are unable to fight against the weakest void lifeforms. The powerful beings within can even hunt gods..."
"The further away from the main plane, the stronger the void lifeforms become.
"After you possess the power to traverse the void in the future, you must remember to be careful of these terrifying existences."
Richard nodded to indicate he had noted it down. Although he did not know when he could traverse such a terrifying place.
After the egg swallowed a large amount of void energy, the aura of the ancient sandworm egg gradually stabilized.
The faint flame of life also began to burn gradually.
Richard waited with great relief at this big shot that made a move.
This process lasted a long time... Halfway through, he was still worried that the Templar City would find him. But Jones'words they could not find him dispelled his worries.
May 6, 12 noon.
After the ancient sandworm egg with a weak aura devoured countless void energy, it had already turned into a pure golden bug egg that emitted a powerful aura.
The aura of life burned like a giant dragon.
And at this moment, it had finally reached saturation after it absorbed the void energy.
After Jones dispersed its energy, its eyes showed a rare look of exhaustion.
It looked at Richard and smiled.
"This void sandworm's descendant has already devoured enough energy. It will be an intensely strapping existence after breaking out of its shell.
"During this process, I strengthened and sorted out its bloodline. Now, not only can it survive in the void, but it can also survive in the mortal plane.
"This time, you've picked up a treasure."
The corners of Richard's mouth curled up, and he was intensely excited.
This harvest was purely a pleasant surprise.
If it weren't for the fact that he had searched the sandworm's lair many times to prevent any mistakes, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this egg buried deep underground.
Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that he had completed the S-rank mission, Jones wouldn't have worked so hard to help him.
This egg would probably be able to be used to stir-fry the egg with green pepper in a few days.
One ring after another, it would not work without it.
Wonderful.
"The void sandworm will break out of its shell in about a month.
"Remember, don't feed it any food. The power of the void is its food. It will tear the space itself and devour it.
"Once you feed it with other food, it is easy to weaken the power of the void in its body while it is young."
Richard quickly memorized it.
"I understand."
After Jones said that, he looked at the remaining ten sand chrysalis...
"President Jones, do these sandworm eggs still have the void bloodline?"
Jones didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The void bloodline is not sand. How can it be everywhere? It is already tremendously lucky to get one."
"Then can these sandworms be tamed like before?"
"It's not enough to just drip blood on it. You also need to brand it with a spiritual imprint..." Jones said and waved its hand.
"Go and drip blood on it. I'll help you."
This gesture deeply moved Richard that made him about to cry.
He honestly wanted to ask if the president was interested in going to Twilight City to play around...
He could practically fly to the sky with such a big shot backer.
Richard sensed the aura of the remaining ten sandworm eggs and smiled after everything.
Ordinary sandworms might not have as much potential as void sandworms.
But in his imagination, these sandworms were used to transport goods for trade.
They might be more valuable for farming than for fighting.
"We should go back. Ferguson and the others have been waiting for a long time..."
Jones' tone was not impatient.
Richard made an exceptional contribution this time. It was starkly worth rewarding him.
Richard nodded and didn't waste any more time.
He delightedly wrapped the golden sandworm eggs with sand and followed along with the other worm eggs.
"It will hatch in a month.
"In the future, raise the void sandworm and let it find other planes when it's free.
"Won't it be a piece of cake to start a cross-plane trade by then?"
"Eh, thinking about it, it seems to be very interesting.
"I seem to have discovered the true value of the void sandworm..."
