Chapter 181: Eagle’s Eye, Biological Modification Experiment

Monica said with a serious expression.

‘A biological modification experiment?’

Roy turned to Monica and asked in confusion, “How do you know it underwent a biological modification experiment?”

“Intuition!”

Monica answered immediately.

Roy had thought Monica must have noticed something to be so certain.

He never expected her to attribute it to intuition.

Just then, Monica continued, “Well, it’s not entirely intuition. The heart is a common target for biological modification experiments.”

“The scales around its heart are a lighter color. They must have grown back after the experiment.”

Roy immediately looked toward the Earth-Digging Giant Snake’s heart.

Although the cavern wasn’t dark, he still couldn’t see any difference between the scales around the Earth-Digging Giant Snake’s heart and those elsewhere.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned to Selena and asked, “You can see the difference too?”

“I didn’t notice it before, but I see it now.”

Selena replied.

If only Monica had seen it, it would just mean she had better eyesight.

But since Selena saw it too, that was another matter entirely.

A guess quickly formed in Roy’s mind—that Selena and Monica were cultivating a special Secret Technique related to eyesight.

He didn’t overthink it and immediately asked, “Did you use a Secret Technique to see that?”

Without any hesitation, Selena and Monica nodded at the same time.

Although he didn’t know what Secret Technique it was, Roy made a decision instantly.

‘I want that Secret Technique!’

He already possessed two senses far beyond those of ordinary people: his hearing, greatly enhanced by the Golden Deer’s Ear, and his sense of smell, greatly enhanced by Extraordinary Olfaction.

If his vision could also be enhanced, then the three senses most commonly used in combat would all be strengthened. As for touch and taste, it would be great if they could be improved as well, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact if they weren’t.

“What’s the name of the Secret Technique you’re cultivating?”

Roy continued to ask.

“Eagle’s Eye!”

Selena replied instantly.

Just as Roy was about to ask if they were willing to trade the Eagle’s Eye Secret Technique, Selena spoke up first, “If you’re interested in this Secret Technique, I can give you the cultivation method after we get out of here.”

“As for the Auxiliary Materials needed to cultivate the Secret Technique, I don’t have them on me. I’ll have to give them to you after I return to my clan.”

Roy knew why Selena was being so generous. He said slowly, “After things are settled here, I can go back with you.”

“But, let’s be clear, this doesn’t mean I agree to join the Evil Spirit Cat Clan.”

‘Even though I can cultivate without Auxiliary Materials, I don’t mind making a trip to the Evil Spirit Cat Clan.’

‘If I’m not mistaken, Selena and Monica, who are already Wizard Apprentices, will also be heading to the Wizarding World in a year.’

‘Other than that, I can’t think of any reason why they would need to cultivate a Meditation Technique.’

‘Besides, the Evil Spirit Cat Clan is a Silver Clan that produced a Golden Great Knight in its history. They might have a collection of many Perfect Breathing Technique Inheritance Maps and other interesting Secret Techniques.’

‘For example, Secret Techniques similar to the Eagle’s Eye Secret Technique that could enhance other senses or have other special effects.’

“Okay!”

Hearing Roy’s answer, Selena broke into a brilliant smile.

She had never thought that a single Secret Technique would be enough to make Roy join the Evil Spirit Cat Clan.

She would be more than satisfied if the Eagle’s Eye Secret Technique was merely enough to get Roy to come back with them.

Roy said no more. He raised his right hand and released his Fighting Qi.

Fighting Qi Substantiation!

Fighting Qi: Blade of Rebellion!

The next second, the silvery-white Fighting Qi: Blade of Rebellion appeared in his hand.

He had originally planned to make his move after the Earth-Digging Giant Snake finished off the two Silver Great Knights.

Now, he had changed his mind.

‘Finishing off the Earth-Digging Giant Snake sooner will also mean finding out sooner if the Phoenix Knight’s inheritance is really in the tomb.’

After giving the Fighting Qi: Blade of Rebellion a casual flourish, he didn’t hesitate. He pushed off with his legs and shot toward the Earth-Digging Giant Snake like an arrow loosed from a bowstring.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Earth-Digging Giant Snake.

The Earth-Digging Giant Snake, the two Silver Great Knights, and even the Great Knights lying at the entrance to the other passage had all noticed his arrival long ago.

However, none of them had the spare energy to pay him any mind.

The Earth-Digging Giant Snake was busy trying to kill the two Silver Great Knights.

Meanwhile, the two Silver Great Knights were struggling to fend off the Earth-Digging Giant Snake’s attacks to avoid being killed.

As for the injured Great Knights, they were completely powerless to help.

They were having trouble just standing up, let alone trying to stop Roy.

Upon reaching the Earth-Digging Giant Snake, Roy leaped high into the air. His Fighting Qi: Blade of Rebellion carved a graceful arc, striking toward the snake’s head like lightning.

BANG!

The Fighting Qi: Blade of Rebellion smashed violently against the Earth-Digging Giant Snake’s head, erupting with a tremendous noise.

The immense force sent the Earth-Digging Giant Snake’s head tilting uncontrollably to one side, slamming it into the nearby rock wall.

Seeing Roy repel the Earth-Digging Giant Snake with a single blow, the two Silver Great Knights breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn’t know who Roy was, from their perspective, he didn’t seem to bear them any ill will.

In other words, they were now allies, in a sense.

It wasn’t surprising that the two Silver Great Knights would think this way.
