Chapter 166: Not enough genes and soul, darkness lurks
Just when Xia Youhui and others were shocked that the ferocious and violent king-blood mutant beast was killed by Chen Chu with two powerful moves.
Standing on the edge of the big pit, Chen Chu looked extremely handsome, but he was actually trying hard to control his legs from shaking, otherwise it would ruin his handsome image at this moment.
At the same time, Chen Chu was also a little surprised by the power of activating the Elephant's Fury Rune this time.
When he broke through the fourth heaven, after absorbing the essence of high-level dragon blood, he gained the ability to "realize" the physical strength, which can be integrated with the real power to explode stronger combat power.
In addition, as his physique broke through, his body became more and more terrifying, containing majestic energy and blood comparable to that of a giant beast.
Hence, when the Elephant Wrath Rune is activated to burn Qi, blood and true power, the terrifying blood inflammation almost turns into a blazing fire, erupting with terrifying power that destroys everything.
Because the burning energy and blood are so terrifying, the increase in muscle power caused by the unlimited explosion almost exceeds the ten times limit of the Elephant Wrath Rune, reaching a terrifying level.
It is not just eleven or twelve times, but a qualitative change.
Even if the combat power reaches the late fifth level, the blood-armored beast king with king-level talent is still killed by his two halberds.
But there are gains and losses, because the explosion is too strong and exceeds the limit of the runes, and Chen Chu cannot control it finely, just like a mountain torrent cannot be stopped once it breaks out.
Hence, he was burned after just a few breaths and suffered a severe loss of energy and blood. Most of his energy and blood were wasted in the raging blood inflammation.
Although he released the rune status in time after discovering that something was wrong, it would take at least half a day for the depleted energy and blood to recover, and this was after only activating a few breaths.
If he had burned for ten minutes like he did when he killed the blood envoy in the late Fourth Heaven, he would have been seriously injured afterwards and would have been weak for half a month.
Of course, Xia Youhui and others naturally don’t know.
“It’s finally over.”
Xia Youhui, who was in the pile of third-level mutated beasts, threw away his heavy shield and sat down on the ground, panting.
Being attacked head-on by mutated scale beasts many times in a row, including a level 4 frontal attack, even he was a little bit intolerable. After all, his strength was limited.
At this time, Yuan Chenghuang walked over, holding his waist, grinning and shouting in pain: "After I break through the fourth level of heaven, I must first refine a set of extraordinary armor."
At his lower back, the solid armor alloy had been twisted and deformed, and it might have exploded if it hadn't been covered by real power at the time.
Even if Chen Chu kills level three and four mutated beasts like a chicken, that's because his combat power is too great.
For Yuan Chenghuang and others who are also only at the third level of heaven, every blow of these mutant beasts is very powerful. If they are bitten by the ferocious mouth, they will be seriously injured even if they are not killed.
Li Meng and Liu Feng also walked over casually.
Then came Bai Mu, who was intercepting the scaled mutant beasts from a distance, and Luo Fei, who was holding a sniper cannon and killed several mutant beasts with targeted clicks.
Across the valley, Chen Chu, who had regained his breath, slowly came to Li Hao. Although his energy and blood were a little weak at this time, his figure was still upright and straight.
“How about it, can you still persist?”
The cracked wounds on Li Hao's body were no longer bleeding, but they were very scary. Hearing this, he shook his head slightly: "It's okay, it's just excessive consumption of energy and blood, and the shock to the internal organs is not fatal."
“Have you brought any healing resources?” Chen Chu asked.
Li Hao shook his head, his face full of madness: "No, or I don't need healing now. The characteristic of the Bull Demon's combat body is that it gets stronger with more battles."
“Especially the more serious the injury in each battle, the greater the improvement in the combat body after recovery. This is the essence of the Bull Demon’s combat body that does not go crazy and survive.”
Chen Chu paused for a moment, but he didn't expect that combat body to be so crazy: "...So you deliberately had a head-on confrontation with that blood-armored king beast?"
Li Hao nodded.
“Yes, but this mutant beast king is far more powerful than the golden-backed violent ape king. I can’t hide if I want to hold it back, so I might as well fight hard.”
"Aren't you afraid that I will die if I come a step too late?" This guy is a complete lunatic. Chen Chu shook his head.
Li Hao grinned: "Didn't you rush over here?"
"...If you act like this, you might die in battle one day." Chen Chu was slightly silent.
Li Hao shook his head and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I already knew the result when I chose the Bull Demon fighting body instead of the powerful Ox King fighting body."
“If you want to maximize your potential, work hard, and continuously improve your combat power, you have to pay a price. This is an unavoidable rule.”
No wonder this guy is progressing so fast. Chen Chu, who is so desperate to improve his strength, asks himself that he can't do it.
Although he is adventurous, he is more cautious.
Because Li Hao was seriously injured and unable to use his strength, the next task of moving the mutated beast's body fell on Chen Chu and others.
Although Luo Fei in this eight-person team is also in the third level, let alone strength, she only has a **** technique with twice the power increase, and can't even move a third-level scaled beast.
So he is responsible for standing guard.
Just when they started to move the corpses, Li Meng and Yuan Chenghuang stood in front of the corpse of the fourth-level mutant beast whose head was exploded, and clicked their tongues: "This guy Chen Chu's power is getting more and more terrifying."
Yuan Chenghuang nodded: "It seems that it is similar to what that guy Lao Xia said. Chen Chu has awakened some kind of physical talent."
As friends who have been cultivating all the way up to now, they have long noticed something unusual about Chen Chu.
That powerful physical body can't be cultivated at all through cultivation techniques, even if the Dragon Elephant Hegemon Body he cultivated later is one of the most powerful advanced techniques.
Although the Dragon Elephant Divine Mighty Body Kung Fu is famous for its strength and defense, it has a limit to the physical tempering and transformation of the cultivator, and it is impossible to strengthen the speed and reaction at the same time.
Even if Dacheng possesses the power of dragon, elephant and giant beast, the increase in combat power is not so exaggerated.
Otherwise, it would not be an advanced skill, but a top-level bloodline secret book.
So it was similar to what Xia Youhui had guessed at the beginning. Everyone guessed that Chen Chu should have awakened some kind of powerful physical talent, including the unique skill that broke out earlier.
However, no one inquired about this issue. Everyone had their own secrets, including the school's senior officials, who were just surprised and then didn't care.
It's just that he has an advanced talent of [physical side] added to his personal profile.
Chen Chu, Liu Feng and others placed the bodies of five level four mutant beasts and two level five mutant beasts side by side, and placed four anti-gravity disks under each body.
Following this were more than a dozen level three mutated beasts, two of which overlapped each corpse. Among them, the corpse of the mutated king beast suddenly became heavier.
In addition, this time I also harvested a third-level life crystal, which was accepted by Chen Chu unceremoniously.
The next step is to wait for Li Hao to recover from his injuries, otherwise there will not be enough manpower to carry the mutant beast's body.
“Oh my god, I’m so exhausted. Why do these mutated creatures grow so big?” Xia Youhui rubbed his shoulders and couldn’t help complaining.
Baimao leaned on the scales of the mutated beast, while recovering his strength, he said lazily: "Of course it's because he absorbed the energy of heaven and earth."
Liu Feng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of this, I really made a discovery."
Chen Chu walked over: "What did you find?"
Liu Feng said solemnly: "Have you not noticed that almost all mutated creatures are animals, and there are no insects?"
“Tch, I thought it was some important discovery.” Xia Youhui was speechless.
Chen Chu couldn't help but smile: "This problem has been studied for a long time. It is said that the genetic structure of insects cannot bear the 'expansion' of the energy of heaven and earth."
“The energy of heaven and earth that pours in from the mythical world is very special. It can make creatures evolve extraordinary and become huge, and even evolve into various forms.”
“Compared to the genes of animals and insects, their genes are not strong enough and too extreme to be able to carry gigantism. In addition, their ‘weak’ spirits and souls cannot carry ‘energy’.”
“So although insects have mutated over the years, they generally stagnate after growing to more than ten times their size, which just enriches the mutated biological chain.”
“That’s not right. Since the energy of heaven and earth will make living things evolve to a larger size, why haven’t we humans become bigger?” Li Meng wondered.
“There is also an explanation for this problem. It seems to be that human beings have stronger ‘autonomous consciousness’ and will subconsciously restrain the body to avoid mutations when the body evolves.”
“In addition, we can cultivate and control the direction of evolution independently, just like the directional changes in our physique after absorbing the essence and blood of mutant beasts.”
“So although we humans are also evolving, we are taking a different path.”
“Of course, there are no absolutes in these things. Li Hao, for example, has become gigantic, and research shows that as some insects mutate from generation to generation, they are actually evolving and improving themselves.”
Speaking of this, even Chen Chu couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face.Are insects powerful? It's very weak and can kill many with just one kick.
But if an insect is enlarged to human size, and its body structure and strength are enlarged at the same time, it will become a more terrifying predator than a liger.
This point can be referred to the sword-armored beast during its third evolution.
Absorbing, merging, and optimizing the advantages of three insects, it was invincible at the same level at the time, possessing two top-level and one advanced terrifying talents.
Of course, the clone's ability to be so abnormal is related to its only talent, 'evolution'. It does not mean that as long as the insect evolves, it will obtain top talents.
But even so, the future that Chen Chu said would be more than ten or twenty years later still made everyone look solemn.
It’s just that the mutations of these animals are so strong. What if insects all over the world evolve into mutated beasts in the future?
“Wait a minute, Chen Chu, how do you know so much?” At this time, Li Meng reacted and looked at Chen Chu strangely.
Chen Chu also looked at him strangely: "It's very simple. If you read the Encyclopedia of Common Mutated Beasts, you can basically have a detailed understanding of the evolutionary history of mutated creatures."
Li Meng shook his head: "I know how to read books. What I mean is how do you have time to read books? I remember there are more than a dozen books in that series, and each one is very thick."
“Yes, Chen Chu, you still have time to read.” Liu Feng and others showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
Bai Mu nodded: "That's right, it's so unfair."
Everyone is working hard to cultivate, why do you still have time to read? Not to mention reading the book, the progress of cultivation is far ahead of everyone else.
Chen Chu said "strangely": "Isn't this thing very simple? You can remember it at a glance."
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
“Damn!” Yuan Chenghuang couldn’t help but gestured with his middle finger.
Xia Youhui waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's disperse, otherwise this guy Achu will have to show off again. He was already pretending just now."
“Yes, yes, ignore him, let’s find a place to play by ourselves.”
With that said, these guys really walked away arm in arm and ran to sit under the shade of a tree that survived not far away, closing their eyes and practicing to regain their true strength.
Poof!
Luo Fei, who was standing on the corpse of the mutated beast, couldn't help laughing, and then jumped down.
The girl took off her helmet, pushed her hair behind her back and chuckled, "These guys were hit by you again."
Chen Chu also smiled: "I am encouraging them, telling them that even though they have become practitioners, they cannot stop reading and remain illiterate."
“This is indeed a problem.” The smile in Luo Fei’s eyes became more obvious.
For these high school students, when they gain extraordinary strength through practicing martial arts and can continuously become stronger, it becomes as addictive as playing a game.
In this case, many people will ignore ‘learning’.
This study is of course not about physics and chemistry, but other content related to cultivation.
For example, reading some notes of other practitioners, gaining insights from their practice experiences, traveling to other countries for exchanges of martial arts culture, deductions from other cultivation systems, and insights into the world.
This problem usually does not appear until after reaching the fifth level of heaven. Their lack of cognition makes their level of martial arts will slowly improve.
At this time, they will think of reading some information that is rich in martial arts knowledge, but these are things for the future. What they have to do now is to break through the fourth heaven.
Li Hao's injury was more serious than everyone expected. Since he didn't want to use healing resources to recover, everyone decided to rest here for a day.
…
In the evening, the golden sunlight turns the sea surface into a golden red, and patches of golden light explode among the rough waves.
Thousands of meters of water was pitch black and dead, and the huge skeleton emitted a faint red light, reflecting the two huge beasts waiting on the side in a menacing way.
Lying on the bottom of the sea, the Thunder Flame Giant Beast quietly looked at the faint red light, its golden vertical pupils showing a cold meaning.
At this moment, the narwhal, which had been waiting all day, couldn't help but swing its tail, set off a violent wave of water, and let out a low cry.
嘤嘤嘤! Brother, why can’t I eat it?
Roar! Don't worry, it's coming soon.
Compared to the narwhal killer whale, the Thunder Flame Giant Beast appeared relatively calm. It estimated that in more than an hour at most, the layer of red light that was ten times dimmer would disappear.
However, the ‘blood’ found this time was not eaten immediately, as there were still some hidden dangers.
Since killing the mutant monster, the Thunder Flame Behemoth and the Narwhal Killer Whale have killed three level six and four level five mutant creatures.
Coupled with the corpse of the deep-sea monster, the size of the devoured Thunder Flame beast has grown to more than thirty-one meters.
The evolution value has also increased by more than one hundred points.
Just when the Thunder Flame Giant Beast suppressed the expectation in its heart and was about to narrow its eyes for a while, another huge mutated creature suddenly broke into its perception.
At this time, this mutated creature was more than 600 meters away from them. A special power pervaded its body without causing any fluctuations in the sea water.
Had it not been for the fact that the Thunder Flame Behemoth had acquired weak radio wave induction after evolving, and had studied to increase the distance to more than 700 meters, we might not have been able to discover it.
The giant thunder beast roared: Roar! Big Horn, there is an ordinary mutant creature sneaking over you. Go kill it, and don't run too far.
That mutated creature is not very strong, and is expected to be around level six, so the Thunder Flame Behemoth is too lazy to take action.
As the two drops of ancient blood are about to be born, it must be more cautious.
Because there are some mutated creatures lurking in the surrounding dark sea.
However, those mutated creatures are not close to the range of one thousand meters, so the Thunder Flame Behemoth cannot specifically perceive their form, level, and approximate strength.
嘤嘤嘤! Leave it to me.
The Narwhal Killer Whale let out a low cry, and then a thick and terrifying energy and blood burst out from its body. Its tail banged and the sea water behind it exploded and roared out.
Boom, boom, boom! Suddenly there was a violent roar of sea water above, as well as the screams of unknown creatures and powerful energy fluctuations.
Nearly ten minutes later, a narwhal killer whale with several ordinary scars half a meter deep and eight or nine meters long on its thick armor swam down.
In its mouth, it dragged the corpse of a mutated creature that was more than 20 meters long and had two slender claws like chicken claws.
Biting the corpse of the mutated beast, the narwhal killer whale approached the thunder flame giant beast and said to please: "Hey!" Brother, I can’t finish this guy, so I’ll give you half of it.
Roar! OK.
The Thunder Flame Behemoth did not refuse.
The Narwhal Killer Whale is different from it in that its ability to eat and digest is not that terrifying. This level 6 mutated creature can feed it for several days.
Soon, as the two beasts were tearing and devouring, most of the mutated creature's flesh and blood entered the mouth of the giant Thunder Flame beast, and the blood spurting out made the surrounding area even crimson.
Suddenly, the auras of the hidden mutated creatures around him became increasingly obscure.
After eating and drinking enough, the red light became fainter and fainter, and the eyes of the Thunder Flame Beast and the Narwhal Killer Whale became serious when they saw it.
The Thunder Flame Giant Beast stood up straight slightly, with seemingly invisible blazing flames jumping around, and roared: Roar! Dajiao, we'll leave after we eat, don't pester us.
嘤嘤嘤! Okay bro.
As the invisible red light on the bones became dimmer, the atmosphere under the dark sea became more solemn, and powerful auras rose in the distance.
Obviously those mutated creatures also knew that the critical moment was coming and could no longer tolerate it.
Boom!
Just when the red light on the bones was about to disappear, the trench suddenly rioted, and seven black shadows roared out from the darkness in all directions.
Each head exudes a powerful aura of level seven.
