Even after a while, Brainy still couldn't find what it was looking for, which made it quite frustrated.
This was the first time that it had encountered something like this and it naturally had its pride as a mutated beast. It also had its pride as an intelligent beast and now that it was being outsmarted like this, it definitely wouldn't take this lying down!
Brainy summoned out all the scouting puppets that it had and sent them all over the forest, while also releasing its own spiritual sense to scout out the area. Even with all of this, it was still unable to find a single thing.
In the end, it curled around Lin Fan's arm feeling depressed.
Lin Fan patted its head to comfort it, but this was a real problem since if even Brainy was unable to find it, there was no way that he could find it.
If that was the case, what should he do?
Angela had been silently standing on the side watching the entire time. Seeing how frustrated Lin Fan looked, she actually revealed a smile.
For some reason, she felt that he looked quite cute like this, struggling to find what was right in front of him.
Lin Fan didn't know what to do until he turned to look at Angela, seeing that smile on her face which confused him. Why was she just standing there with a smile?
In the end, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "What's so funny?"
Angela just pointed at a bush that was in front of them and said, "It's funny that you missed something that was out in the open."
Lin Fan looked at the bush with a confused gaze.
What did she mean by something that was out in the open?
Why couldn't he see anything there?
Lin Fan walked over to the bush that Angela had pointed out and stuck his face in to look over it along with Brainy. However, no matter how the two them looked at it with their eyes, their spiritual sense, or any other methods that they had, they couldn't find a single thing.
Finally Angela came over with a smile, reaching out to suddenly grab something that was invisible.
Based on the shape of her hand around it, it seemed like it was a little lizard, but they couldn't see the colour or the figure of the lizard at all. It was a completely see through lizard.
Lin Fan moved in to look carefully at what Angela was holding in her hand, but no matter how hard he looked, he still couldn't see a thing.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore as he asked Angela, "What is this thing?"
Angela took her other hand and tapped it on the head of the lizard, causing it to suddenly appear in front of them. She had used her life energy to disrupt the laws that the lizard was using to hide itself.
When Lin Fan saw the lizard appear, he finally understood what this was.
It was a Change Gecko, an extremely rare beast with two different laws, but neither of those laws could be used to fight.
The Change Gecko used the laws of light and wind to help itself hide from its predators and unless one was much stronger than the Change Gecko, they would never be able to see through it. Of course Angela was much stronger than the Change Gecko, so she could see through its laws easily.
Angela was already at a level that surpassed the upper realm and if she wanted, she could destroy the entire upper realm with a flip of her hand, but that wasn't good for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't need a destroyed realm, he needed a proper realm that he could set up a business in and earn more money, letting him develop his strength. His system could turn him into an expert, but that all required a large amount of money since his system was based around his shop.
Back to the Change Gecko, it had the ability to use light laws to refract the light around it to make it disappear into its environment and it used wind laws to keep its scent from being released. That way, whether it was by sight or scent, the Change Gecko couldn't be found.
That was why neither the scouts or the ants with their chemosense could find it.
Brainy had Lin Fan raise it in his hand towards the Change Gecko, putting it right in front of it. The Change Gecko could feel the hostility coming from Brainy, so it shrunk back, but it couldn't escape since Angela was still tightly holding it.
Brainy looked over the Change Gecko for a bit before suddenly spitting out a seed that landed on the Change Gecko's forehead.
It didn't take long before the seed went right through the Change Gecko's outer skin and entered its brain. The seed only took a few seconds to completely spread all over the Change Gecko.
That was because the Change Gecko's nature was flight over fight, so once it was caught, it resigned itself to its fate. It would never fight back, so it easily accepted the seed that controlled it.
After the seed took it over, Brainy revealed a proud look before slivering back into Lin Fan's sleeve and curling around his arm.
Lin Fan also found it funny when he saw Brainy's little display of pride, but he also took the Change Gecko into his pet storage space.
In the future, the Change Gecko would definitely become a powerful tool for him. With its ability to hide, it made the perfect scout and it was already in the Platinum Realm. As long as he didn't send it to spy on Legendary Realm Experts, there was no one that could find it. Even if he were to send it to spy on Legendary Realm Experts, unless they were beyond the Embryo Soul Realm, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Once Lin Fan put the Change Gecko into his pet storage space, there was the same grinding sound before a portion of the wall opened to reveal a passage.
This was the same principle as the previous room, once the vital signs disappeared or weakened enough, the way forward would open.
That was because when this room was designed, the Change Gecko had been given the order to escape for as long as possible. Even if it was caught, it would continue running and escaping with all its might. It was actually quite fast with the wind laws that it had at its disposal.
The only reason why it didn't escape this time was that it could see the shadow of death that was behind Angela. It knew that if it had even tried to disobey her, it would have been killed in an instant.
Once the door was opened, Lin Fan and Angela headed down the path again, heading towards the next room. With how relaxed they were, it really seemed like they were here to play the game.
…
In the center of the pyramid, on a large golden throne.
Lord Jin was sitting there waiting for the end of this game, but since he was bored, he was also watching the participants.
He had a mirror that was in front of him that he used to watch this, but instead of watching different participants, he had been watching the same people the entire time.
In the mirror in front of him, there was Lin Fan and Angela reflected there.
At this time, the door of the room that he was in suddenly opened and there was a familiar figure with a pierrot mask that walked in.
The moment Lord Yin walked in, he couldn't help being surprised by what Lord Jin was doing.
Lord Yin came over and said, "Jin, why are you watching them?"
Lord Jin didn't turn as he said, "It's important to know your enemies, otherwise they will surprise you, Yin."
Lord Yin gave a soft snort, "What surprise could there be? They are nothing more than shameless humans who came from another upper realm and won't even admit it. Now they're interfering with our plans as well."
Lord Jin shook his head as he said, "You always jump to conclusions too fast. Just because he has that artifact, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is from an upper realm. There are things called Inheritance Realms on this lower realm, he might have gotten the artifact from there."
Lord Yin gave another soft snort, "You didn't see it, but I know that they aren't from here. That kid used three different laws together, if he isn't a special genius trained by one of those upper realm factions, I would smash my head against a wall."
Lord Jin didn't reply since he wasn't able to argue with this, but still he didn't seem like he believed it.
Lord Yin didn't mind this and asked again, "So why are you watching them?"
Lord Jin turned back to the mirror and said, "Well, they are quite interesting to watch. Especially how those two interact with each other."
Lord Yin came over to look in the mirror and all he saw was Lin Fan and Angela walking leisurely down a passageway before saying, "You call this entertaining?"
Lord Jin revealed a faint smile and said, "Well, you haven't seen the rest."
Lord Yin looked at him with a confused look, "Are you sure you're alright?"
Lord Jin said with the same smile, "If I had to describe it, I would say I'm a fan of theirs."
Lord Yin didn't know how to respond to this…
