Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Minotaur

Time flowed before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Shen was back in the cave he had been in before, in the very same spot, as if he hadn’t moved at all.

But when he looked around, Wei Wufu was nowhere to be seen.

“Was Wei Wufu teleported inside, or has he gone back?” Lin Shen frowned slightly.

Given Wei Wufu’s character, if he hadn’t been teleported, he would certainly have waited here for Lin Shen.

However, the watch was only supposed to teleport the user, so it shouldn’t have teleported Wei Wufu along with him. Now that Wei Wufu was nowhere to be seen, Lin Shen was unsure what had happened.

Lin Shen exited the cave and searched around Gourd Mountain, but still found no trace of Wei Wufu, which puzzled him greatly.

“Could he really have been teleported inside?” Lin Shen calculated the time. If Wei Wufu was transported by another method, he would have a three-day limit before he could return. Taking away the one day Lin Shen spent on Realm King Planet, it would be two more days before Wei Wufu could possibly return.

With that thought, Lin Shen descended from Gourd Mountain to see if he could take the watch with him.

As expected, the watch stayed with him after leaving Gourd Mountain and didn’t disappear like the black watch had.

He found a secluded place in the canyon, adjusted the time on the watch, and activated the teleporter again.

This time, Lin Shen set the timer for 47 hours. If Wei Wufu was on a three-day limit, then Lin Shen would be able to return just before him. The canyon was also the necessary route back to Dark Bird Base, so he shouldn’t miss Wei Wufu.

The teleportation started, and after selecting the coordinates, Lin Shen realized that there were two sets of coordinates. One was the grassy slope he had recorded, and the other was unknown to him, perhaps set by the watch’s original owner.

Lin Shen didn’t dare to try randomly and dutifully went to the grassy slope to become a skilled pesticide hand once again.

Indeed, he materialized on the grassy slope where he had previously departed from, checking his own information, he saw that his Base Mutation rate had already reached 23%, still some way from advancing to Alloy.

“Mutant Poisonous Insects, start trembling, your grandpa is back,” Lin Shen called his mount and galloped rapidly across the grassy slope, searching for new targets.

During the time Lin Shen was crazily killing insects, the Realm King Cultivation Device at Jinshui Lake finally started up again.

The Ascenders from the major families, who were initially very excited, couldn’t bring themselves to rejoice anymore.

The Realm King’s Transport Device turned out to only be able to send Base Variants to the Realm King Planet. Watching the Base Variants disappear while the Ascenders remained rooted in place, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Initially, they had wanted to enter Realm King Planet as soon as possible and then carry out a massive slaughter, particularly of the Crystal Base resources and the Mutated Crystal Base, but to their dismay, they couldn’t even enter.

So many Ascenders had waited for so long, only to have to rely on those Base Variants to fight for resources in the end.

“The Zheng Family is truly wronged; they lost an Ascender, and five more were crippled for this thing, yet the Ascenders can’t enter at all,” Ouyang Juemiao muttered to himself as he looked at the nearly deserted camp.

“Looking at it this way, the transport range of the Realm King Cultivation Device isn’t that large. Next time, we’ll send more Crystal Base in. We weren’t prepared this time, and only six Crystal Base from our side went in. How about you? Ouyang Yudu went in, right?” Xun Jian came over and said.

“He did. Including Yudu, we only sent in five Crystal Base, even fewer than you. Who would have known this thing could only transport Base Variants,” replied Ouyang Juemiao, somewhat helplessly.

“This isn’t bad either; the resources of Realm King Planet won’t be plundered by the Ascenders in a short time. It also allows the younger generation to experience trials, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone,” Xun Jian said, gazing up into the sky.

The Realm King Cultivation Device activated the Firmament Projection System once again, projecting the images of those people.

Ouyang Juemiao saw Ouyang Yudu and a few other Crystal Bases from the Ouyang Family together, not separated, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was true that Ouyang Yudu was incredibly strong, almost invincible among the Mutators.

But the Realm King Planet was just too strange. Who knew what kind of Base Variant Creatures with bizarre abilities could exist? If one were not careful, even a Crystal Base might face the possibility of death.

With several Crystal Bases together, looking out for one another, it was much harder for something to go wrong.

As for that Angel who robbed people, Ouyang Yudu had once said that he wanted to meet this so-called robbing Angel.

A prompt suddenly appeared in Lin Shen’s mind: “Sacrificial offering +1.” He frowned to himself, “Did someone from Bai Shenfei’s side die?”

Lin Shen didn’t know that thousands from the major families had already entered the Realm King Planet; he thought someone from Bai Shenfei’s side had died.

But soon he realized that it likely wasn’t someone from Bai Shenfei’s side who had died. He guessed that the Realm King Cultivation Device had been activated again.

Because the prompts kept appearing in his mind: “Sacrificial offering +1,” and a red glow was emanating from his body.

In this short time, more than a dozen people had died. There were not that many people altogether from Bai Shenfei’s side, so it was impossible for so many to have died.

“It might be the people teleported by the Realm King Cultivation Device, some of whom were sent to dangerous places and got killed right after they arrived,” Lin Shen thought as he felt the strength within him grow and quickly hid the Sacrificial Halo.

His guess wasn’t wrong; those dozen or so Mutators had indeed been teleported to particularly dangerous locations.

However, they had only encountered a group of Alloy Creatures. Unfortunately, they were just ordinary Steel Mutators, tasked with providing supplies and meals to the camp, and unexpectedly ended up being teleported in as well, where they ran into the group of Alloy Creatures and were wiped out instantly.

“The Ascenders from those major families should have arrived by now. I’ll need to be careful not to be targeted by them,” Lin Shen didn’t want to give anyone a chance to kill him. He refrained from recklessly charging on his steed and instead tucked away his mount, searching cautiously for poisonous insects on the grassy slope.

He had been in the Realm King Planet for over twenty hours at this point, and his Base Mutation rate had increased to 31. Because the Base Mutation rate could not be increased by poisonous insects of the same species, even if they were mutated, the speed of increase in the Base Mutation rate had slowed down.

“What is that?” Lin Shen had just climbed up from the base of the grassy slope when he saw a figure suddenly appear on another distant grassy slope.

Lin Shen immediately lay flat on the ground in the same spot, retracting his mirror-like carapace, which was far too eye-catching.

Initially, Lin Shen thought the figure might be one of those from the major families who had been teleported in, but a closer look revealed something was off. The person had a pair of bull horns on their head.

“What the heck, is that a Minotaur?” Lin Shen’s eyes widened in surprise.

The Minotaur stood about two meters forty-five tall, much taller than most humans. Its face bore the features of both human and bovine, and with the bull horns on top of its head, it looked incredibly strange.

It wore peculiar attire, tight like a bodysuit, black and smooth fabric clinging tightly to its body, accentuating every muscle, which bulged like beef tendons.

“Besides Tian Xin, are there other alien races that know how to enter the Realm King Planet?” Lin Shen watched the Minotaur, filled with confusion and speculation.
