Chapter 562

"Anyway, as long as it doesn't hatch a Psyduck when the time comes!"

While pondering the strange egg in the stone box, Zhang Lin began to inquire about the other pupa.

A pupa is a very specific thing; it is the early stage of an insect.

Under normal circumstances, unless one is a biological expert, it is very difficult to determine what kind of insect is inside just by looking at the pupa!

Naturally, the red and white thin filaments were even less clear about it!

Such a strange combination of a pupa and an egg, placed inside King Zhou Mu's dragon-patterned stone box.

It must be said that this matter revealed a trace of an eerie atmosphere inside and out.

Originally, Zhang Lin's intention was to have the red and white thin filaments enter the dragon-patterned stone box to perform a high-profit disassembly.

That is, to use the red and white thin filaments themselves to influence the creature inside the stone box that would undergo metamorphosis.

But now, not even knowing what the creatures inside the egg and pupa were, Zhang Lin did not dare to act rashly.

The movement of the password dial on this dragon-patterned stone box was clearly based on this pupa and this egg.

This point also indicated that the mysterious person who reactivated this stone box must have completely mastered its usage and possessed the ability to modify it.

Because the creatures he placed inside that would undergo changes were of two types!

This was far more complex than when King Zhou Mu had only placed one infant inside!

The metamorphosis processes and time requirements for the two creatures were different, yet this mysterious person needed to make them coordinated and consistent.

The changes in an egg and a pupa had to be able to simultaneously influence the movement of the password pattern outside the dragon-patterned stone box.

Not only that, it had to be extremely precise!

This workload was simply unimaginable to Zhang Lin!

He even felt that even the most sophisticated modern computer would find it difficult to achieve this!

But three thousand years ago, King Zhou Mu achieved it solely through his own ability.

Now, the appearance of this mysterious person had actually allowed this technology to iterate!

"This mysterious person... could it be a descendant of King Zhou Mu?"

This guess had just arisen in Zhang Lin's mind before he negated it!

The Zhou Dynasty had fallen too long ago; both bloodlines and culture had experienced a certain degree of fragmentation.

Even if there were still descendants of King Zhou Mu's bloodline today, it would be so thin as to be negligible!

Not to mention, he would have nowhere to learn King Zhou Mu's secret arts!

After weighing the options, Zhang Lin decided to remain still and wait for the countdown on the dragon-patterned stone box to end.

Inside were two living creatures, and their metamorphosis directly affected the countdown outside the stone box.

It was not that Zhang Lin had no way to terminate this countdown.

But he could not be sure if there was any reverse connection between the countdown and the egg and pupa inside.

For example, if he opened the stone box too early, would it cause the death of the egg and pupa?

Just like dragging King Zhou Mu out of the jade burial suit prematurely, he would turn into a blood corpse!

This risk was too great, so Zhang Lin decided to let them "hatch naturally"!

"If this box were placed outside, it would be enough to shock the world!"

"After all, ever since the entire Xia nation learned the correct usage of jade burial suits and dragon-patterned stone boxes, no one has ever witnessed the end of a countdown!"

"Tie Miansheng's living corpse is still sleeping, and the dragon-patterned stone box was opened back in the late Qing Dynasty!"

"The one in my hand is probably the only thing that can prove King Zhou Mu was a genius!"

"Thousands of years ago, he could design such an exquisite and peerless countdown!"

Zhang Lin's emotion eventually turned into a sigh.

He placed the stone box directly on the coffee table in his home!

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place.

The more conspicuous the place, the less likely it is to be targeted by thieves!

Although Zhang Lin did not yet know what this egg and pupa would hatch into, he had a feeling in the dark.

The three things in the dragon-patterned stone box were sent to him specifically by the mysterious person!

This was highly likely to be a very precious gift!

However, human relationships are always complex; no one is good to others for no reason.

The mysterious person sent Zhang Lin a gift without stating their purpose.

Zhang Lin estimated that the truth would likely require him to discover it himself!

But subconsciously, Zhang Lin felt that this mysterious person held no hostility toward him.

Looking back at the whole affair since the mysterious mailbox was activated, Zhang Lin now possessed the red and white thin filaments' Heart Gu Gu technique, and the immortal body achieved after combining with the eye creature, all of which actually came from the mysterious person.

If not for the eye coal essence that the mysterious person put up for auction in the mailbox, none of this would exist.

Yang Lusi's body curse could not be lifted, and Zhang Lin would not have been able to consistently hold the upper hand in the confrontations with the Lei-listening clan!

All of this seemed to be linked, one ring after another, moving along a path that had been arranged.

Although Zhang Lin did not know where the final outcome of these matters would lead, currently, the things he gained in the process were all good.

After the appearance of the red and white thin filaments and the eye coal essence, Zhang Lin was even faintly transcending the system!

The combination of these two creatures, to a certain extent, had already far surpassed all the prizes in the system's King-level lottery pool.

This was also the reason why Zhang Lin had not performed a King-level lottery for a long time, even though his current storytelling points had accumulated to over ten million!

Enough for ten King-level lotteries.

Thinking that he hadn't drawn for a long time, Zhang Lin suddenly felt his hands itching.

"System, check the King-level lottery prize pool!"
