Chapter 58 The Secret Being Discovered:
"Superior Phantom Demon Mutant?"
At this moment, Su Ming and Xu Qianqian's faces under the masks finally changed color.
Mutants, phantoms that failed to evolve, are invincible among the same level. Even if they are not as strong as those that have successfully evolved, their powers have mutated and become much stronger than those of the same level.
When Su Ming and Xu Qianqian were discussing before, they mentioned the possibility that the mysterious phantom demon being hunted by the suspicious group was a mutant, but at that time, the two guessed that it was a lower-level phantom demon mutant, not a higher-level phantom demon mutant.
As for the lower-level phantom demon mutants, although they are invincible among the lower-level phantom demons, they are still not as good as the upper-level phantom demons. In the eyes of the top leaders of the base city, this level of phantom demon is not worth their efforts to hunt down.
Therefore, Su Ming and Xu Qianqian at that time believed that the mysterious phantom demon being hunted by the suspicious group was more likely to be the offspring of a higher-level phantom demon, and less likely to be a mutant of a lower-level phantom demon.
Who would have thought that both guesses turned out to be correct.
The mysterious phantom demon being hunted by the suspicious group is actually the cub of a superior phantom demon, and the superior phantom demon that gave birth to the cub is itself a mutant?
These are two completely different concepts!
"This is a serious matter." Xu Qianqian finally couldn't help but speak with a serious expression, "That mysterious phantom demon turned out to be the offspring of a superior phantom demon mutant. This is a big trouble."
"Is it serious?" Although Su Ming also felt that the situation was more serious than he had imagined, he did not have as clear an idea as Xu Qianqian, which made him ask Xu Qianqian.
"Very serious." Xu Qianqian said straightforwardly as always: "Because, there is a great possibility that the cub will successfully evolve in the future and become a stronger being than the mother who gave birth to it."
Once a phantom demon fails to evolve, it will become a mutant, possessing power far superior to its peers, but will also forever lose the possibility of evolving again.
But if this mutant of the superior phantom demon chooses to give birth to an offspring that completely inherits its own bloodline, the offspring that has never evolved will not be limited by the mutant.
In other words, this offspring is not like its mother and has lost the possibility of evolving again.
Not only will it not be lost, but because it has inherited the mutant's bloodline, the offspring's chances of successfully evolving in the future and reaching a level that even the mother has not reached will be greatly increased.
After all, although mutants are the result of evolutionary failure, they have evolved once after all.
If this evolved bloodline continues, it will naturally greatly shorten the difficulty of evolution.
"We all guessed wrong." Xu Qianqian said in a deep voice: "It is not a dangerous species at all, but a phantom demon that may evolve into a nightmare species at any time."
Nightmare kind.
As soon as this word came out, Su Ming immediately thought of the bottle of phantom demon blood that he had always treasured in his backpack.
Because he owns such a treasure, Su Ming has a thorough understanding of nightmare species.
Therefore, Su Ming was very clear that nightmare species and dangerous species were also two completely different concepts.
Although the dangerous species is also a terrifying upper-level phantom demon, it still cannot conceal the fact that it is the lowest among the upper-level phantom demons.
On the other hand, the nightmare species is already a strong one among the upper-level phantom demons, and can be said to be the upper-level phantom demon among the upper-level phantom demons.
If a dangerous species requires a senior professional of at least four stars to deal with, then a nightmare species requires a senior professional of at least six stars to deal with.
Yes, it’s just that I can cope with it, but whether I can be on equal footing with it is another matter.
This is the nightmare species, an existence that ranks at the top even in the Demonic Prison.
As for the terrifying species, they are no longer just strong ones, but kings and overlords. They have the ability to command the entire Spirit Demon Prison. Their strength is enough to destroy the world and is absolutely unmatched by humans.
However, the number of terrifying species is extremely small, and it is unknown whether there are as many as Five Fingers in the entire Spirit Demon Prison.
So far, only one terrifying species has appeared in the world, and it almost caused the complete extinction of mankind at that time. If it were not for the human heroes at that time who sacrificed themselves and paid a huge price to seal the other party, mankind might no longer exist.
But the terrifying species only appeared once.
Compared to the horror species that have only appeared once so far, the nightmare species is regarded as the greatest enemy and the biggest threat by humans.
In such a situation, if a phantom demon that could evolve into a nightmare species at any time appeared in the world, what would that mean? It was chilling to think about it.
And when this phantom demon is a cub, its meaning will be another concept.
Let me put it this way.
"The blood of a high-level phantom demon can make all the major forces in a base city pursue it. However, when this blood is not only dangerous, but also nightmare, it is not just pursued by the forces in a base city, but something that countless base cities have to pursue madly."
Xu Qianqian's extremely heavy voice clearly reached Su Ming's ears.
"If a person possesses the blood of a nightmare species, then he can almost be regarded as having obtained a pass to the seven-star level. The possibility of becoming a seven-star hunter in the future will be much higher than that of others, not to mention that this bloodline can be passed on. In the eyes of those big families, such a bloodline is simply a priceless treasure."
After hearing Xu Qianqian's explanation, Su Ming couldn't help but think of the bottle of nightmare demon blood in his backpack.
He was sure that once this thing was exposed, he would become a hot commodity in the eyes of countless people, and the amount of fatal disasters he would bring upon himself would be countless.
"Is there anyone among humans who possesses the bloodline of the nightmare species?"
Su Ming asked this question.
"Yes." Xu Qianqian replied: "In Yinze City, the most prosperous of the four major coastal base cities, there is a super hunter family that continues the bloodline of the nightmare species. The strongest person in their family is the only seven-star hunter in the four major base cities."
As for whether there is any family in the base cities other than the four major coastal base cities that possesses the bloodline of the nightmare species, the answer is definitely yes.
But the number of Seven-Star Hunters is so small, which means that there are also very few people with bloodline of this level.
No matter what, bloodline will be diluted, and with the inheritance from generation to generation, it will eventually be degraded.
Even if those hunter families try their best to maintain their family bloodline, it is uncertain how much blood their descendants can inherit from their ancestors.
Although some people are born into a famous family, they are born with less inherited blood. Therefore, even if his family is descended from the blood of the nightmare species, the blood in his body will certainly not reach the level of the nightmare species.
This is also the reason why there is a super hunter family in Yinze City that has inherited the bloodline of the nightmare species, but in the end only one seven-star hunter was produced.
Bloodline is such a troublesome thing and has penetrated deeply into the human world.
The bloodline of a nightmare species represents the possibility of reaching the top, and also represents the emergence of a super hunter family, which everyone would be jealous of.
"If the news of such a bloodline appearing in Longyao City spreads, then..."
Xu Qianqian's expression turned ugly.
It’s not that Su Ming can’t understand.
If the news really spreads, the battlefield may not be Huaming District, but the entire Longyao City.

Moreover, the ones confronting each other this time are not humans and phantom demons, but the major forces in the major base cities.
One can imagine how much dispute this would cause.
Fortunately, "the one that appeared here was not a nightmare species cub." Su Ming said, "It's just a dangerous species cub that may evolve into a nightmare species. Things haven't developed to the most troublesome point yet."
Trying to extract the blood from the body of a phantom demon is an extremely troublesome task.
Not only must the bloodline of the object to be extracted be intact without any loss, but it must also be refined through an alchemical ritual. The refining process has very strict requirements and conditions, and any missing one will result in a failure of the refining.
In view of this, when humans set their sights on the bloodline of a certain phantom demon, they often need to make a lot of preparations in order to be able to capture the demon alive without harming it, so as to ensure the integrity of the bloodline.
This resulted in many people not daring to act rashly even if they had their eyes on the bloodline of the phantom demon.
Not to mention, the mysterious phantom demons here are only dangerous species. Even if there is a possibility of evolving into nightmare species, it is only a possibility.
If one wants to obtain the bloodline of a nightmare species as one wishes, one must ensure that its bloodline is intact, and at the same time, one must find ways to cultivate the other party to the point where it can evolve. One can imagine how troublesome this process is.
"Plus, the news obviously hasn't spread yet, so the situation hasn't gotten too serious yet."
Su Ming said this, but was suddenly startled. He turned his head sharply and looked at the frightened gangster.
"No." Su Ming said, "It's about the bloodline that may evolve into nightmare species. Why do the top leaders of the base city dare to post the capture mission on the dark web and let the "evil" mercenaries help capture it?"
Isn't the senior executive of Base City afraid that the news will leak to "Sin"?
How could "Sin" remain indifferent when he learned that such a mission existed and that there might be nightmare blood in Longyao City, and obediently help the high-level officials in the base city to complete the mission? No matter how much reward there is, can it be better than the blood of nightmare?
Even if there is, how can such an important task be completed by a team of only three-star professionals at most? "Could it be..."
A bold idea came to Su Ming's mind.
Of course, the premise is that the gangster in front of him is not lying.
"It seems that we need to have a good talk again."
Su Ming raised the scorpion in his hand and looked at the gangster with a cold gaze.
"No"
The gangster seemed to sense the danger and shook his head in fear.
Xu Qianqian seemed to have sensed something fishy, and remained silent with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Bang——"
Suddenly, deep in the warehouse street, there was a shocking explosion.
Fire appeared in a corner of Warehouse Street, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
"What? What happened?"
The gangster and his two teammates showed surprise.
Su Ming and Xu Qianqian looked at each other and stood up involuntarily.
