Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 596: Chapter 27 Survival_5

Wanfa Peak.

As soon as he stepped into his room, Wang Ba suddenly furrowed his brows.

He hurried down towards the burrow.

His grim expression was due to nine of the small creatures; the tumor-headed stone lizard, a exposedhearted stone lizard, and one hatchling without hind limbs, now quietly lying in the burrow with no traces of life.

“Dead?”

Wang Ba crouched in front of the burrow, his eyebrows furrowed.

He gently picked up the corpses of these three hatchlings.

He found no signs of trauma on their bodies.

After pondering for a moment, he moved the corpses to a place away from the burrow, then with his finger turned into a knife, gently opened each of them.

After observing for a while, he incinerated the corpses.

“It’s not due to external influences… it’s their own faults.” said Wang Ba, wearing a thoughtful look.

Mutations are not always good.

Most mutations lead to negative outcomes.

Only a few mutations bring positive results.

Clearly, these three lizards that didn’t make it, represented a failed experiment.

While he was thinking,

Wang Ba suddenly looked into the burrow.

Then he witnessed a terrifying scene.

A stone lizard with five forelimbs and four hind limbs was frantically scratching its own body with all five of its limbs that weren’t supporting its weight.

Its tender skin was quickly torn apart, revealing its internal organs within a short time…

Following that, the mutant ghost-pattern stone lizard with nine claws died from its own claws.

The cause of death was extremely brutal…

Wang Ba watched on, he could have saved it but ultimately chose to stand by.

A failed mutant, even if saved, can only prolong its agony.

Perhaps not saving it was a kind of mercy.

Sighing, Wang Ba resumed his Cultivation of the Mother Qi of Dharmas.

The next day, he placed both a breed of phoenix-feathered chicken and black-feathered chicken led by Yi 2, and a dawn chicken into the chicken breeding ground, then he assigned a new task to Jia 17.

“There are actually evil wizards lurking in the divine domain?”@@novelbin@@

Jia 17 looked around, his heart slightly solidifying.

Obviously, God knew these people existed, and yet he still made Jia 17 pay attention to these people, clearly testing him.

“In that case, I must watch these carefully without revealing anything… I mustn’t disappoint God.”

Several more days passed.

Wang Ba, who just returned from the Spirit Food Department, quickly discovered that two more of the remaining six stone lizards had died.

After half a month.

In the group of the remaining four stone lizards, the double-winged stone lizard mysteriously coughed up blood and died.

Another one suddenly collapsed and never woke up again.

However, after that, the last two stone lizards had no more sudden deaths.

These two stone lizards were recorded by Wang Ba:

Double-headed Stone Lizard, Hundred Colored Stone Lizard.

“Wait… The two that are alive are the two with the longest Lifespan.”

Wang Ba seemed to have thought of something, quickly flipping through the previous record manual.

Indeed, he found that the Lifespan of the double-headed stone lizard was about two hundred years, and the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard also had a Lifespan of around a hundred and eighty years.

“The short-lived breeds all had sudden deaths, while the long-lived ones are all still alive…”

“Could this be the key to determining whether the mutation is successful or not?”

“But what powers do these two stone lizards have?”

The two heads of the double-headed stone lizard would fight each other, but most of the time the black head bullied the yellow one. Other than that, there didn’t seem to be anything else different about it.

As for the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard, which had a complex body color, no changes were visible, either.

Wang Ba patiently waited for another month.

The two baby lizards that were originally the size of a palm had grown quite a bit under his consistent feeding.

After some deep consideration, he stored Lifespan into these two baby lizards.

This time, the amounts both hatchlings started to eat changed dramatically and their auras began to strengthen as their sizes quickly increased.

As the aura grew, they formed a thin layer of membrane on their immature bodies.

They needed to break this thin membrane in order for their bodies to continue growing.

This was molting.

But since they were still young and acting unskilled with how to break the outer membrane, Wang Ba had no choice but to help them tear off their old skin.

Yet, it was during this process that Wang Ba discovered something that shocked him.

“This Hundred Colored Stone Lizard is actually male!”

As everyone knows, the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard is a parthenogenetic Spirit Beast.

In other words, there is only one gender in the entire population.

But a male offspring emerged at this point… For Wang Ba, this change was somewhat astonishing.

But it was this male Hundred Colored Stone Lizard that gave Wang Ba a new idea.

“A population that involves males has the potential for changes… So, what if this Hundred Colored Stone Lizard mates with a Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard or Double-headed Stone Lizard? Will there be a new change?”

With that idea, half a month after he stored Lifespan in them, he began to try to get the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard to mate with the female parent and Double-headed Stone Lizard.

His effort yielded no result as an entire month passed. The Hundred Colored Stone Lizard showed no interest in mating.

“I will have to take better care of Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard…”

Since he had hatched nine beast eggs, each one different, Wang Ba refused to believe that there were only nine possible mutations.

Clearly, the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard was an unprecedented treasure waiting for him to tap into.

“Cultivation, Spirit Beast breeding, studying spirit food…”

Time quietly passed in the tedious yet incredibly fascinating procedures for Wang Ba.

Time is of no essence in Cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
