"Ha ha, have you found traces in the subspace? Don’t think too much about it; perhaps it was just a minor trace left behind when my master conducted experiments in the subspace. Investigate if you wish, I won’t say anything."

Adisa couldn’t just reveal an expression and definitely say Jia Yan is inside the subspace, so the words were ambiguous.

This is already a test of wills or playing psychological games.

Adisa, though regarding the ’Master’ behind it as its own backing, also did not want this master to be truly exposed to the eyes of these investigating creatures.

Thus, in conversation, it was a battle of words, probing each other out.

After a long play, both sides were somewhat entangled.

The other party, although certain that Adisa is hiding something, did not dare to press further. On the surface, their combat power seemed higher than theirs, and not killing them now was due to unavoidable reasons on the other side.

As for Adisa, it also faced significant problems.

Jia Yan was indeed gradually recovering, but there was still a big gap in strength. Moreover, he’s in the process of mutating, and excessive depletion of combat power could cause issues with his mutation.

So in terms of combat power, Adisa relied on those explosives, yet those explosives grew weaker by the day. Even if they took them out now, while they could potentially defeat the group of creatures currently before them, Adisa estimated it probably couldn’t annihilate them entirely.

Unable to annihilate means they might escape and alert the Galactic Level powerhouses, potentially bringing in a large number of Star River level existences in the future.

This would be a catastrophe for the newly mutated Jia Yan.

Hence, Adisa dared not go too far.

In this verbal sparring, neither side realized that a creature with recently recovered certain brainwave power was quietly listening in.

"Ha ha, this Adisa seems to be a bit smarter than before, now knowing how to play psychological games with others. Its intelligence isn’t low."

Jia Yan, inside the cocoon, listened to the outside sounds, smiling to himself silently.

His brainwave power was now at a level where it could be projected externally.

After all, having almost recovered to Star River Level combat power, projecting brainwave power allowed him to hear sounds just outside the Fifth-degree subspace nearby.

After recovering his River Among the Stars Early Stage strength, even if there were some physical issues, the strength was hardly any weaker than when he first reached Star River Early Stage.

Therefore, Jia Yan could hear the psychological war between Adisa and the investigation team.

Finding it a bit amusing, Jia Yan did not interrupt Adisa’s efforts but quietly observed, also covertly guarding against any potential hostile actions from the group towards Adisa.

The Smart Brain seemed a bit foolish, as the other party was gradually taking action without Adisa fully noticing it.

Of course, this indicated that Adisa’s strength wasn’t enough, but it didn’t necessarily mean it was foolish.

Like Jia Yan, once his strength recovered, he could easily crush this investigation team with absolute power, requiring no trickery.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Jia Yan decided to let Adisa play on its own, thus testing its psychological combat skills.

In releasing control, Jia Yan also didn’t let Adisa know that he had recovered a certain level of combat power. Otherwise, with renewed confidence, Adisa might undergo some change.

"Alright, let it play on its own. As for me, I don’t have the energy to accompany it in killing these small Star Level creatures."

Jia Yan had no concern over that investigation team whatsoever.

Previously, there had been some worry, as he hadn’t regained any strength. But now, with the brainwave power being projected externally, his strength almost matched when he first became Star River Level.

With such strength, a single Star Level powerhouse and a small investigation team can be squashed casually.

"What I need to do now is strive to manifest my foot with the time Adisa gained. As long as the foot is produced, the major part of the mutation combat power is restored, not much weaker than the full power state."

Jia Yan’s current urgent task was to work hard to get his foot out.

Bodily, temporarily using the cocoon shell was a good choice for him.

So solidifying the foot was the most pressing issue, ensuring that his combat power, though not as strong as in full state, would certainly not be too weak.

In fact, the cocoon mutation module that was increasingly black in color already showed clear signs of foot formation within.

Only this foot felt still very tender, extremely fragile.

Like the skin of a newborn baby, it was very easily injured, so Jia Yan did not think this seemingly glued foot had much combat power.

"But it will be soon, maybe in a few days, this foot will be able to be released, and my combat power will soar even higher than now."

Jia Yan had high expectations for this foot born after his mutation.

After the last self-detonation, all the feet were destroyed. This time, with targeted adjustments on the toughness of the feet, and optimizing certain joints or details based on previous deficiencies in battle.

Don’t underestimate these adjustments; even a small change could bring earth-shattering changes to his combat power.

Moreover, he didn’t just adjust one place.

Thump, thump, thump.

At this moment, if someone could dissect the cocoon-like module he was in, they would find an infant giant mosquito within.

The mosquito’s surface looked extremely tender, but one part was notably resilient. That was its heart.

The heart was terrifyingly strong, with each beat exerting enough force potentially to cause an earthquake on Earth.

The thumping sound of the heart, heard by an Earthling standing next to it, would be enough to kill them through shockwaves.

After all, it’s a Giant Mosquito, and this time the mutated Giant Mosquito had an evidently larger size that would once again scale up several times.

From thirty kilometers to sixty kilometers, it’s not simply doubling the length but more like a one-meter tall baby growing into a two-meter tall hulk, with thoroughly different weight, visual impact, and power.

And all this growth couldn’t be achieved without the help of the heart.

Thus, the initial success in mutation usually started with the heart; without the heart’s successful mutation, nothing afterward could advance.

For Jia Yan himself, he’s always grateful for the heart’s mutation or every time the heart succeeded.

Because before the heart successfully mutates, he had no memory of his mutations. It was only when his body autonomously succeeded in heart mutation that his brain gradually restored sensory intake, meaning he could control the subsequent process himself. Yet the process of successful heart mutation was entirely up to fate.

It could succeed, or it could fail.

Success meant having a heart, and a stronger, more perfect heart.

Failure meant losing consciousness entirely, dying unknowingly and foolishly.

Hence, Jia Yan always felt grateful for the heart, thanking it for being the first successful mutation each time, supporting the body in combat.

This time was no different; during the remaining mutation process, the heart kept sending powerful blood to various parts of the body. Even the Condensation Fluid used the vascular path to deliver and complete the mutation process in various organs.
