Gary Smith didn’t rush in immediately. He needed to verify his hypothesis first before proceeding with the final step of his plan.
Silver tendrils of the void intertwined within his pupils as the Eye of Truth activated. With the consumption of a tenth of his spiritual power, related information appeared.
[Thousand-Faced Beast Embryo (Savage Ant): The Savage Ant is a rare type of ancient exotic species that practices monogamy. The partners are deeply devoted to each other, choosing to bury themselves underground together when their lifespan approaches its end.
The male Savage Ant collapsed and fell after its spiritual power shattered by half due to failing to become an Overlord, the pregnant female Savage Ant chose to preserve its corpse within amber at the deep underground tomb causing the corpse to remain unrotted for a thousand years. After being excavated, the Thousand-faced Demon Heart Core parasitized it, consumed its blood and flesh, and transformed.
It is currently in the blood invoking ceremony with the "Karmic Egg" as its core, gestating the Reincarnation Embryo with enough karmic power, and birthing the Thousand-faced Demon form of the Thousand-Faced Savage Ant.]
"The Thousand-faced Demon, Savage Ant, just as I suspected..."
Gary Smith murmured softly, all the information aligned with his previous assumptions, aside from some minor discrepancies.
From the moment he first saw the video of the Savage Ant, he had been overtaken by a strange sensation, a sense of discord, as if he was looking at something that had merged life and death...
A living corpse!
Moreover, according to the data explored by the top-tier research institute in the Imperial City, the Power Ring essentially enhances one’s physical strength. Like most power system skills, it coalesces within the body’s bones, bringing great strength to oneself.
If one were to protrude their own bones out of their back, aside from the intent to intimidate, it would merely create a weakness for no apparent benefit, contrary to the characteristics of life in the wilderness.
However, since this ancient exotic species, the Savage Ant, is extremely rare and the only published image of it reveals only bones, they preferred to believe in the video they had witnessed with their own eyes.
They thought that the data from the research institute was incorrect.
Even Gary Smith originally thought that way until he discovered the material information about the Limb Demon and learned about the shape-shifting ability of the Thousand-faced Demon Heart Core, which could transform into the target organism and inherit some of its powers and abilities after consuming its blood and flesh.
Additionally, it was revealed through the memory of the Crab Claw Demon that the so-called video was self-produced and spread by the Limb Demon Leader.
These clues linked together fully awakened Gary Smith and clarified the entire sequence of events.
In the original Wild Ant Tomb secret realm, there indeed existed a pair of Savage Ants, a couple, but one of them had died after failing to become an Overlord.
They would have typically buried themselves underground together following their instinct, but the pregnant female Savage Ant, driven by maternal instincts, wanted to first nurture and raise their offspring before entombing herself with her mate.
However, some unforeseen event must’ve happened that caused the female Savage Ant to fall before it could return underground.
After enduring the long eons of time, its weathered corpse turned into nothing more than a pile of bones, which was then excavated by the research institute, identified as female, and became the basis for the legend of the real Savage Ant eggs.
"As for their offspring..."
Gary Smith shook his head, he hadn’t found any traces of ant eggs or young Savage Ants in the cave, and the research institute only had the female bones. As for the desert wilderness, it had been thoroughly searched countless times.
One could deduce that even the eggs or larvae of the Savage Ant wouldn’t have a good outcome seeing that the Tyrant Savage Ant had also fallen due to irresistible factors. It was likely that the Savage Ant race had already been extinct.
After all, countless ancient exotic species have gone extinct from ancient times to the present.
No one is a Child of Destiny, even the Heavenly Disaster incarnated Ancient Dragon would be buried by the endless flow of time. In the face of the vast Long River of Time, the Savage Ant was insignificant, nothing more than a grain of sand in the ocean.
Later, the timeline moved to the present.
Through some unknown means, the Limb Demon Leader knew about and dug out the buried corpse of the male Savage Ant. Then, using the Thousand-faced Demon, it parasitized the corpse, consuming its blood and flesh to morph.
The reason for the discoordination presented in the video was likely because the Thousand-faced Demon Heart Core had just started to parasitize a corpse that had been dead for a long time, showing obvious discrepancy and...
Fragility!
Even if it was sealed in amber, the spiritual power within the body would still fade, leading to rigidity, and even becoming brittle.
If it used the Power Ring Skill within the body, the intense shock would probably shatter the corpse. Hence, the bones were protruded to the back, creating the appearance of wings. This could display the power of the Savage Ant’s skill more vividly, attracting more Beastmasters and increasing the number of sacrifices.
The disappearance of the Savage Ant at the end of the video was probably due to it burrowing underground, hence there were no traces found.
However...
Although this was the course of events, it was not the real aim of the Limb Demon Leader.
Gary Smith looked at the Reincarnation Embryo in the Central Hub.
The real goal was to sacrifice the body of the Savage Ant, and through the Thousand-faced Demon Heart Core, reincarnate it, to rebirth its body anew.
To hatch a powerful monster known as the Thousand-faced Savage Ant!
However, because Gary Smith had intercepted the sacrifices, and Beastmasters were drawn in, the interference from both plans prevented the embryo in front of him from getting enough nutrients, causing it to be malnourished to some extent.
The hatching was still a long way off.
This was bad news for the Limb Demon Leader, but for Gary Smith, it was an underrated opportunity.
Without engaging in a direct battle, he could obtain the material he wanted, disrupt the core of the ceremony, and drastically weaken the Limb Demon Leader on the battlefield above.
