Chapter 415: Black Fragments (Part 2)

Amalia frowned, "Unfortunately, my strength isn’t enough."

The presence that even Mr. Lin feared wasn’t easy to approach.

Kenny Lin said arrogantly, "Don’t worry, the day won’t be too far away."

Amalia gave him a sidelong glance, "Who said anything about you? I was talking about myself."

"Dear wife, we’re a lover. Your business is my business, and my business is also yours, isn’t it?"

Kenny Lin smirked as he put an arm around her shoulder.

Amalia resisted while rolling her eyes, "Are you sure the fate of humanity is also your business? Do you have any shame?"

Kenny Lin answered decisively, "None."

Amalia chose not to argue with him and focused her attention on the square boxes in front of her.

"What do you think is inside these boxes?"

Before she even opened them, she could feel Wealth began to restless in her pocket.

Wealth, unable to bear it any longer, jumped out from her pocket and circled around the boxes

It shows interest in opening them but hesitates.

Kenny Lin dropped his playful attitude and stroked his chin, saying, "Just from looking at them..."

"What?"

"Good stuff."

"..."

Amalia decided not to ask him, "Wealth is reacting so strongly. The contents may have something to do with the mutated creatures. Shall we open them now?"

She remembered how Kenny Lin had previously stopped her from opening them.

"Go ahead," Kenny Lin didn’t mind anymore.

Even if the high-level mutated creatures sensed the energy and came to snatch it away, he wasn’t afraid.

Amalia had been wanting to open the boxes for a while now.

She picked up one of the boxes, and Wealth jumped onto her hand while staring intently with its black eyes.

The small square boxes were about 10 centimeters in length and height.

They were too small to fit a single crystal core.

Amalia lifted the heavy lid, which seemed to have its own gravitational pull.

With some effort, she managed to open the lid.

If the sunlight hadn’t been shining on it, she might have thought there was nothing inside.

The contents inside were very small, it’s about the size of a fingernail and appeared to be some kind of crystal fragment.

"What is this?" Amalia asked.

A chilling energy emanated from the open box.

Amalia suddenly felt goosebumps rise on her skin.

At that moment, Wealth suddenly leaped forward.

Amalia moved the box away quickly and pinned Wealth to the ground with her other hand.

Wealth looked up, its eyes turned a little bit red.

It usually has a gentle and cunning expression, but its expression now showed a hint of ferocity.

"What’s going on?"

Amalia was surprised that the contents inside the box could even affect Wealth’s sanity.

Kenny Lin closed the lid and instantly isolated the dark crystal fragment’s aura from the outside.

After a moment, Wealth stopped struggling and seemed confused as to why its owner was pressing it down.

It looked up at Amalia with its large eyes blinking in bewilderment.

The redness in its eyes is also gone.

"Is this thing really affecting the mutated creatures so much that it can even make them lose their minds?" Amalia said in disbelief.

However, at least they now understood why Wealth was drawn to the boxes yet hesitated to get too close.

"There must be some other requirements. If it could make all mutated creatures lose control, those high-level mutated creatures wouldn’t collect so much of it."

After Kenny Lin observed the fragments, it was the first time he saw this kind of object as well.

Both of them realized the implications and their expressions grew serious.

Aside from the two high-level mutated creatures who each had a box, the remaining five belonged to the Violent Obsidian Lindwyrm.

What exactly were these black crystal fragments, and why did they could affect the mutated creatures?

Why were the mutated creatures collecting them?

These questions weighed heavily on both of their minds.

Amalia watched this scene as Wealth seemed very interested in the black fragments.

"Wealth’s interest suggests that these black fragments could benefit it or other mutated creatures," she concluded thoughtfully.

Kenny Lin nodded, "However, these black fragments aren’t entirely beneficial for them."

"That’s right," Amalia agreed, "Perhaps they could enhance the mutated creature’s strength while also affecting their emotions at the same time, just like when a spiritual cultivator goes crazy because of the sudden surge of power during cultivation."

"Let’s test it on a few mutated creatures," Kenny Lin decided promptly.

Instead of speculating without any direction, they should test it practically.

Amalia didn’t object; she felt uneasy for not understanding about the black fragments and she also couldn’t take a risk by giving them to Wealth without knowing more.

Kenny Lin left for a moment and returned within minutes with a few mutated creatures.

Concerned that the black fragments’ energy might attract other mutated creatures, Amalia set up a formation around them to block any potential aura from leaking.

Only then did she open the box.

The moment the lid was lifted, the previously trembling mutated creatures suddenly began digging and displaying signs of restlessness.

Their eyes turned reddish.

A combination of desire and struggle was evident in their gaze on the box.

Within a minute, the mutated creature discarded their fear and their eyes turned completely blood-red as they howled anxiously.

If they hadn’t been restrained, they would have already lunged at the black fragments.

This confirmed that the black fragments indeed affected all the mutated creatures.

The impact had both positive and negative aspects.

Amalia closed the box and pondered for a moment, "These mutated creatures aren’t particularly powerful. Could the negative aspects have less impact on stronger mutated creatures?"

Kenny Lin offered, "Shall we test it?"

"Let’s test it," Amalia agreed, she could feel a potential link between these fragments, the mutated creatures, and the central disaster zone.

"Then let’s test them one by one, starting with the Level 9 mutated creatures," Kenny Lin said as he eliminated the mutated creatures he had just captured.

In the central disaster zone, mutated creatures with intelligence could be seen everywhere, so they couldn’t afford to let them escape and warn others.
