This is very terrifying. You should know that the cocoon shell from this mutation process is merely something temporarily used during each of his mutations, yet it has such defensive capability.

"I reckon it’s related to the numerous injuries I suffered during my early weaker phase when I was mutating in the Underground World. Since then, every mutation has required a massive amount of energy, all for condensing this cocoon, and I didn’t expect it to be so hard."

Jia Yan was surprised for a moment, and then he became even more excited.

Since that’s the case, he would use the advantage of this cocoon shell to confront the group of creatures outside head-on.

Thump.

In an instant, Jia Yan, enduring the attack of a Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform, charged out of the Subspace Interior.

"Hahaha, I’m not that foolish. During my mutation process, actively using them in battle is not out of passion but similar to the last mutation. I want to leverage the external forces to quickly mature my body."

With a thunderous roar, Jia Yan crashed in front of an Early-stage Galaxy-level existence.

"Get out of my way!"

The Early-stage Galaxy-level existence sensed a giant animal cocoon rolling toward it and quickly retreated, bursting out its power, striking fiercely at the cocoon’s surface.

This thing was called a cocoon, but in reality, its surface was bumpy and quite unpleasant.

Following a strike from this creature, a depression appeared on the surface, but it wasn’t destroyed.

"Humph, idiot."

The creature coldly sneered as it saw the cocoon-like animal being suddenly struck and flying away.

But the cocoon creature didn’t feel any sense of dejection from this failed strike.

It swiftly crashed into another creature on the other side.

This creature was a member of the Middle Stage of Star River, one of the two Middle-Midstage Lifeforms in this team.

"You’re coming after me? Such a death wish."

This Middle Stage Lifeform suddenly unleashed its attack.

Thump.

After attacking, the Middle-Stage Lifeform easily and elegantly struck the cocoon creature fiercely away.

But astonishingly, the cocoon only burst open to form a depression twice as deep as the one made by the early stage Galactic Lifeform before it.

You should know that Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeforms are much stronger than typical Early-stage Galaxy-level existences.

Yet Jia Yan actually withstood it.

The face of the Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform turned ugly.

"What’s going on? This creature’s form doesn’t look like any normal creature."

The crowd of Strong Ones were all eyeing the rolling cocoon monster with intent, but after realizing its actions, they treated it like a ball to be played with.

Despite the sudden attacks, there weren’t any significant effects.

Although everyone knows that delivering a killer move would certainly inflict greater damage on this clumsy monster, none of them were willing to waste their most powerful attack on this cumbersome creature.

"Haha, this monster must be a fool. How could something like this cultivate to such a realm? It’s simply weird."

"But its form is truly bizarre, even stranger than we imagined."

"This definitely isn’t our mission goal, and it doesn’t seem to have any backing either. Sigh, what a waste of energy."

"A waste of energy, and yet you attacked so fiercely? Hmph, don’t think I don’t know; even if it’s a foolish creature with Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform strength, its mere body value is incredibly rich. Not to mention, this guy’s defense is so terrifying, killing him and using him as armor wouldn’t be a bad idea."

"Everyone understands, strike now, later whoever contributes more will get more."

A group of Early-Middle Stage of Star River creatures suddenly attacked the cocoon, slowly wearing down its defense.

As for whether there’s anything inside the cocoon, they weren’t too concerned.

After all, in their understanding, ordinary creatures wouldn’t grow like this.

And this creature not only looks like a ball but behaves in an adorably foolish manner. It seems they can easily kill this creature.

So later, when they get the cocoon-like shell of this creature and turn it into armor, it would certainly be a decent item.

But even so, no one directly used their trump card as previously mentioned. They wouldn’t casually use their trump card in every battle, even for these war spoils.

All these creatures were holding back, waiting for the two Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeforms of the leaders to judge who contributed the most in the battle before distributing the spoils according to the degree of contribution.

In this situation, the Middle-Stage of Star River would undoubtedly get the most, as they contributed the most and their overwhelming advantage meant no one dared dissent.

As for the ones below, they should not be that unfair.

So they all relatively trusted them to some degree.

"I didn’t expect on a mission to not find the target but to encounter a fool-like enemy. I was startled just now, thinking this guy might have a Subspace Talent and was the target, but it turns out he wasn’t."

The Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform slightly smiled as it spoke to another Middle-Stage Lifeform.

They were all relaxed, as the situation was undoubtedly under their control.

"Who says not? Although the real target isn’t this one, to find the genuine one wouldn’t necessarily be good news. I heard that guy even escaped from our Lord of the Domain’s grasp, naturally, he’s tough to deal with. Perhaps even if we corner him, he might fight back desperately and kill one or two. Now that we didn’t find the main target, but instead cornered a foolish Strong One, it’s a good thing. His body will compensate far more than enough for our travel costs and losses on the way here."

The other Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform also had a slight smile.

Initially, on this journey, he was also considering whether they could meet the main target.

If they could encounter it, they’d undoubtedly be happy, but the possibility of fatalities was high.

Now, they didn’t encounter the named Strong One ordered by the Lord of the Domain, but instead stumbled upon another one who attacked them, but is as easy to kill as a fool, they naturally were happy.

After killing it, just the magical shell alone, turning it into armor, could be a life-saving artifact, of great value.

"Be cautious, we attack only the weak spots, and once thoroughly breached, then other parts of the armor can be appropriately cut for our use."

"Exactly, I was just about to say that."

Several creatures quickly reached an agreement, and they no longer randomly attacked the entire surface of the cocoon creature, focusing instead on several relatively weak points.

"Hmm?"

When they changed their attack tactics, inside the cocoon, the eyes of the Giant Mosquito suddenly became serious.

"These guys actually chose to attack my weak cocoon mutation coagulant spots?"

That was a little dangerous.

Jia Yan was quite worried that his cocoon might be breached by their targeted weak attacks before it can facilitate his body’s mutation.

He had never experienced being attacked and breached by other creatures during a mutation process.

Therefore, he had no experience to draw upon to address this.

But in an instant, a situation occurred that made Jia Yan elated.

Because the cocoon shell for him was just a kind of coagulation fluid solidifying manifestation.

Now, the coagulation fluid still steadily filled the cocoon’s interior, and before the attacks reached deep inside, the fluid would quickly layer onto the weak points, rapidly hardening into a solid state. While not as hard as before, it was still formidable.

This allowed Jia Yan to feel that the attacks on the weak points no longer posed as great a risk.

The situation began to change.
