"Ye Feng, do you remember how Sphinx treated Little Girl earlier?!"
Shen Potian waved to Xiao Xiao and then spoke to Ye Feng.
"Attitude?"
Ye Feng frowned and recalled, "That guy back then... seemed to consider Xiao Xiao as a delicacy, wanting to eat her... and not just casually..."
"Brad Base is a gathering place for a bunch of lunatics. The people there have all undergone some kind of modification; they are not normal humans at all."
"The people there consider themselves high-class humans and others as low-class, whom they can kill at will..."
"And this Sphinx can use Blood Arts, Blood Sacrifice Nether Thorns, and even the power of the Blood Ancestor..."
"His status within Brad Base must be quite high... perhaps a direct descendant of the Blood Ancestor of the Blood Clan..."
As Ye Feng finished speaking, Shen Potian quickly explained to him.
"Blood Clan? Blood Ancestor?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Shen Potian with surprise and curiosity.
"Yes!"
Shen Potian nodded. "The Blood Clan are the creators and rulers of Brad Base. The Blood Ancestor is said to be their progenitor, but no one has ever seen them!"
"The Blood Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's hand flashed with light, and a small carving knife appeared in his hand.
Ye Feng recalled the Blood Clan members he, Xiao Xiao, Bing, and Ling Xi had encountered in the City of Despair, then used the carving knife to etch onto the concrete slab before him.
"Senior Shen, are the Blood Clan you speak of like this?"
Ye Feng pointed to the human face pattern he had carved on the concrete slab.
"Uh, this..."
Shen Potian stared at the pattern Ye Feng had carved for a while, frowning. "Judging by these four sharp teeth, it does look a bit like it~"
"Ye Feng, is the pattern you drew... is it really a person?"
Shen Yun Yao looked at the pattern Ye Feng had carved on the concrete slab and was speechless.
Because the pattern Ye Feng had drawn, apart from the sharp teeth, had no discernible features... The facial features were also peculiar, with only the positions of the mouth and eyes vaguely recognizable... The drawing skill was extremely poor.
"Uh, yes... I think this fellow was called Wuji Pusi~"
Ye Feng blushed, as he truly had no talent for drawing.
"Big Brother is probably talking about this person!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao spoke up.
As she spoke, her hand flashed with light, and a bound sketchbook appeared.
Xiao Xiao enjoyed drawing and often purchased art supplies from the [Trading Channel]. Ye Feng also provided her with relevant supplies whenever they were refreshed in the [Shop].
Xiao Xiao would often draw what she and Ye Feng saw and heard along their journey...
"Rustle rustle~!"
Xiao Xiao quickly flipped through the sketchbook, and soon stopped at a portrait.
"Yes, it's this guy!"
Seeing the portrait in the drawing, Ye Feng immediately said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Potian and Shen Yun Yao leaned closer to Xiao Xiao to take a look.
On the drawing paper was a tall, slender man with no hair on his head, a gaunt face, a sharp nose, and wrinkled skin, appearing somewhat eerie.
"Hmm... this person's face was abnormally white back then, whiter than paper... his eyes were blood red..."
"At first glance, I thought he was a vampire from an old movie!"
Since Xiao Xiao's drawing was black and white, Ye Feng recalled and added.
"From this person's appearance, and your description just now, Ye Feng, he should be a Blood Clan member, but I don't recognize this particular one!"
Shen Potian observed for a while and said earnestly to Ye Feng.
"It really is a Blood Clan member... Back then, that guy called himself a Blood Clan Elder... but he was vaguely killed by Ling Xi, who had her Angelic power restored..."
Ye Feng pondered the events of that time, muttering to himself.
"Senior Shen, why did you mention Xiao Xiao just now?"
At this point, Ye Feng asked a crucial question, and Xiao Xiao and Shen Yun Yao also turned to look at Shen Potian.
"Judging by Sphinx's form... he is likely a product of that plan!"
Speaking of which, Shen Potian's expression became serious.
"That plan?"
Ye Feng frowned and couldn't help but turn to look at Shen Yun Yao.
He remembered that Shen Yun Yao had also mentioned a plan before, but they were in the midst of battle, so he didn't ask further, and Shen Yun Yao didn't say much.
"Brad Base's Ultimate Human Evolution Plan. The Blood Clan of Brad Base believes that current ordinary humans are low-class and need to be modified and evolved..."
"Those modified individuals with various strange abilities... including the monsters that rapidly grew from the glass balls Sphinx threw out earlier, are likely also products of the mad scientist Kohler's work... although Brad Base has never officially acknowledged Kohler's existence..."
"Sphinx's appearance before clearly exceeded the scope of normal humans, and it was likely also from Kohler's hand, and not ordinary modification..."
Here, Shen Potian paused, and looked at Xiao Xiao again, "Judging by Sphinx's attitude towards Little Girl earlier... Little Girl is probably very special..."
"At least for a highly modified Blood Clan member like Sphinx, she possesses a fatal attraction!"
"Ye Feng, if you continue to follow the direction indicated by the Arcane Pointer, and that direction does not change, you will likely encounter people from Brad Base. Be extremely careful then!"
Shen Potian glanced at the Arcane Pointer on Ye Feng's wrist and spoke quickly.
"Fatal attraction?!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xiao and couldn't help but frown.
Because he remembered the scene of fighting Xu Kuang at Tyrannosaurus Rex Base. He recalled that after the opponent injected the enhancement serum and transformed into a Hellhound, his gaze fell on Xiao Xiao.
Xu Kuang had been overjoyed, constantly sniffing, and his canine head was even dripping saliva... and he had also mentioned "ultimate delicacy"...
"Xiao Xiao is indeed quite special..."
Not to mention the special prompt from the system when he first met Xiao Xiao, Ye Feng's heart was filled with many mysteries as he recalled the details of their journey.
"Grandpa, that Brad Base's Ultimate Human Evolution Plan... they modify people so haphazardly... why do they do that?"
At this moment, Shen Yun Yao voiced her doubts.
"This..."
Shen Yun Yao's words made Shen Potian frown.
After a long period of contemplation, Shen Potian finally spoke slowly, "I am not sure... I only know that they are searching for special experimental subjects, wanting to conduct special experiments... and require the legendary Divine Stone..."
"Divine Stone?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
Because he currently had a piece in his spatial warehouse, which he had accidentally obtained in the City of Despair. He had studied it for a while, only to find it to be an ordinary stone box...
"Yes!"
Shen Potian nodded. "And..."
Saying this, Shen Potian looked at the huge skeleton of the Hellhound that Ye Feng had split in half in the distance, "And I believe that Old Ghost, or Joseph, his purpose in Mech City... is likely related to Brad Base's Ultimate Human Evolution Plan..."
After speaking, Shen Potian glanced at a place that had been mostly cleared, "Let's go, let's check out the secret room!"
