284: Untamable

Jiang Ning immersed his Divine Sense into the Small World.

Just one glance, and he felt heartbroken.

The thatched hut and other decorative items within the Small World had been torn apart by space.

And that not-so-large Void Weevil was still taking bite after bite, searching for “food.”

Unfortunately, these spatial worlds that allow for “habitation” are all extremely hard. The Void Weevil took several bites, barely managing to chew a tiny bit of space.

Moreover, it seemed to discover that the energy it gained from eating in this world was far less than the energy it had consumed before.

This is also why Void Weevils live in deep space, not in the real world.

Solid and orderly are often two different things.

Orderly is like a chef meticulously preparing a dish, making it more delicious and easier to eat.

And solid is like a pot; it can hold things, but if you try to bite it, you should be prepared for a toothache.

The Void Weevil stopped eating.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s a good thing the spatial barrier of this kind of world is hard, otherwise if the Void Weevil kept eating like this, the Small World would collapse sooner or later.”

“It only bit off a tiny bit, which is good. The space also shows signs of repair, and since I am familiar with spatial power, I can quickly repair it.”

“Then, can I enter the Small World?”

Jiang Ning frowned.

According to Vermilion Bird, the Void Weevil only devours spatial power and does not harm people or other things.

All damage is a “complication” caused by its consumption of spatial power, leading to spatial collapse.

But understanding is one thing; facing such a chaotic and “formidable fellow” himself, Jiang Ning still felt a bit intimidated.

Jiang Ning tried to create a wisp of his Divine Sense Clone with his Divine Sense.

He sent it into the Small World.

A somewhat transparent Jiang Ning stood in the Small World. The Void Weevil, sensing him, turned its head to look.

Jiang Ning felt a prickling sensation on his back!

As if he was being targeted by a terrifying entity.

Vermilion Bird was right; the Void Weevil only glanced at him. The Void Weevil was only interested in spatial power, and nothing else.

Jiang Ning let out a sigh of relief.

To verify whether the Void Weevil would truly not attack other things for an extended period.

Jiang Ning kept his Divine Sense Clone in the Small World for an extra day.

After one day.

Jiang Ning retrieved this wisp of Divine Sense Clone.

He then entered the Small World himself.

By this time, the space of the Small World had been fully repaired.

The small gap that had been bitten out was nowhere to be seen.

The Void Weevil was situated within the Small World.

It was at the foot of Bixiao Mountain, its aura somewhat listless.

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow.

“Is it hungry?”

Ignoring the Void Weevil, Jiang Ning stepped forward to sort out his belongings stored there.

After that, he looked at the Void Weevil again.

Jiang Ning pondered whether his spatial power could guide the Void Weevil to gnaw in the direction he wanted, generating some “attack power” for him.

The Void Weevil cannot be harmed, nor can it harm people.

In scientific terms, this thing does not belong to this dimension.

“Let’s try it!”

Jiang Ning directly summoned his Nascent Soul manifestation.

As soon as the manifestation appeared, a spatial lotus flower condensed around it.

The Void Weevil, sensing the spatial power, looked directly in that direction and rapidly moved towards it.

Jiang Ning was drenched in sweat, like holding a hot potato, and hastily threw the spatial lotus flower to an out-of-the-way spot.

The Void Weevil then flew towards the lotus flower like a dog.

Just as the Void Weevil was about to bite the spatial lotus flower, Jiang Ning directly detonated the spatial lotus flower!

The spatial lotus flower exploded within the Small World, creating a long black streak.

Disordered Void Realm power surged within it.

The Void Weevil became much more invigorated.

Though that disordered Void Realm power wasn't tasty, it was still better than what was here.

It then took advantage of this opening, gnawed off another piece, enlarged the opening, and then once again went to devour the overflowing Void Realm power.

Jiang Ning was startled.

“Oh no!”

This Void Weevil wanted to bite the opening larger and then drill into the Void Realm.

Fortunately, this opening was still too small compared to its size. Even if it kept gnawing, it couldn't keep up with the speed of space repair.

Spaces that humans, or rather, living beings, can inhabit are too stable and too solid.

After a few bites, the Void Weevil was isolated outside.

Without food, the Void Weevil looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning’s body stiffened.

He kept reassuring himself, “What’s there to be afraid of? The Void Weevil can’t harm people.”

After staring at Jiang Ning for a few seconds, the Void Weevil circled around Jiang Ning’s manifestation.

Its tentacles continuously extended and retracted.

The top, which couldn’t be definitively called a head or a mouth, rubbed against Jiang Ning’s Nascent Soul manifestation.

This was a biological instinct.

Its previous actions made the Void Weevil believe that the manifestation could create spatial power, allowing it to eat its fill.

Now, the Void Weevil was merely trying to curry favor with the manifestation.

“Can it be tamed?”

Jiang Ning tried to communicate with the Void Weevil.

He pointed in a direction with his manifestation, trying every possible way, scratching his head, to make the Void Weevil understand his meaning.

To make the Void Weevil understand to gnaw at the space in that direction.

“Indeed, the Void Weevil cannot be tamed.”

Jiang Ning was a bit disappointed.

No matter how he tried to communicate his intentions to the Void Weevil, the Void Weevil would not do as he wished; it didn't even make any other movements.

It just kept circling Jiang Ning’s manifestation, trying to curry favor.

“It’s also normal. I believe I’m not the only one in this world with a Small World. If the Void Weevil could be tamed, then someone would have already brought a Void Weevil into battle before now...

This would also form a scientific and complete methodology.”

Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

If the Void Weevil could be tamed, how could the original novel not have arranged such a powerful weapon for the female lead?

After realizing this, Jiang Ning lost interest.

This Void Weevil could only temporarily be used as a “grenade,” to be thrown out to ambush someone when necessary.

Moreover, this grenade could only be used in spatial tunnels.

The Void Weevil, having not received a response for a long time, stayed in the air blankly for a while, then found a corner, silently lay down, and conserved energy.

Jiang Ning looked at its appearance.

He mused that even if it couldn’t be a fighter, this Void Weevil still needed to be fed regularly, otherwise, if it really got too hungry, it would definitely gnaw directly at the Small World.

Moreover, in the future in the Void Realm, this would also be a powerful trump card for him!

On the spirit boat.

Jiang Ning appeared in the room.

The Pill Furnace in front of him was already cold. After delaying for so long, refining Medicinal Pills was still the most important task.

Jiang Ning stretched.

“I originally thought I would have another powerful weapon, but it seems I was overthinking it.”

Jiang Ning calmed his mind.

He lit the Pill Furnace.

“Time to work, time to work, born to work!”
