Legend of the Mythological Genes
Chapter 278 - Dragon's Nest, Tiger's Den
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
There were three giant mountain ranges upon each other, and the mountains there exuded a majestic air. Things seemed extremely dangerous.
These mountains were actually stacked upon each other, and their environments were very different.
On the bottom layer, there was a black-colored mountain made up of numerous hard rocks stacking upon each other like they were one entity. It was about 1,000 meters tall and resembled a whole block of iron pressing down on the ground. It acted as a solid foundation, supporting the two other taller mountains stacked on it.
The second mountain was filled with forest; the atmosphere was gloomy and sinister. Sunlight wasn’t able to penetrate the forest due to the density of the trees. Darkness shrouded everything.
As for the top layer, the mountain was completely hollowed up. It became a mountain fortress that resembled a beehive. It was like a dragon’s nest and tiger’s den, capable of devouring the lives of those foolish enough to barge in.
This was one of the vile places in the world of Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Three-layer Mountain!
There were three mountains stacking upon each other. It was true to its name.
Although this was a naturally vile environment, what was more terrifying was the clan that was taking up residence here, the Zheng Clan!
According to the information from the Cultivation Association. The Zheng Clan was a rare humanoid clan on this planet. Their characteristics were marked with ferociousness, and each of them was already an innate transcendent creature. They had the ability to control blood—theirs as well as others—which granted them huge killing potential. This was a hegemonic-level clan in this spiritual qi planet.
In truth, when humanity first discovered this planet, the first batch of soldiers that had landed here had been completely wiped out. They had all been slaughtered by the Zheng Clan with no exceptions.
At this moment, at a remote corner not far away from the Three-layer Mountain, Feng Lin’s team was observing everything. Their gazes were extremely heavy.
Numerous figures clad in bone armor could be seen moving in and out of the Three-layer Mountain.
The Zheng Clan could be divided into the male faction and female faction.
The males were all tall and muscular, roughly about three meters tall and were extremely ferocious.
For females, they were all extremely shapely with nice curves. They were extremely beautiful and charming.
This was an extremely strange clan.
Although their appearances varied, their vitality stats were extremely high. Feng Lin didn’t dare to underestimate them.
Each member of the Zheng Clan has a vitality stat of over 100. This was an innate transcendent race. They were born with qualifications high enough to become soldiers.
For any who dared to enter without proper considerations, they would surely be wiped out without a doubt.
The Zheng Clan of the Three-layer Mountain would rush out from time to time. They were like primitive people. They had primitive weapons in their hands and would hunt birds and beasts for food.
When they returned to the mountain, their bodies would be dyed in blood, and a strange language like that of ferocious gods’ would come out of their mouths.
Yana’s eyes flashed with golden light. She was trying to decipher this aboriginal language.
The center of Feng Lin’s brows shone with a silver light. His spirit force was compressed into thin traces as he sent it out, trying to probe the interior of the Three-layer Mountain.
His Spirit Gene was maxed out at 10 points, and his Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was enhanced to 5 points.
Each point added to the strengthening tally would allow his spirit force to surge explosively.
Right now, Feng Lin was doing his best to probe the situation from an area about two hundred kilometers away. He could see everything clearly in his mental vision like the highest-grade quality microscope with precision adjusted to 0.01 mm.
Using his spiritual perspective, everything in the world was laid out before him. There were no secrets.
A gentle breeze blew by, gusting into the Zheng Clan’s lair, yet those aboriginal members of the Zheng Clan didn’t seem to feel anything.
A stretch of red light appeared in his vision.
Feng Lin only felt that his perception entered a red tunnel. A strange qi permeated the area completely, seeping into one’s body.
Spiritual qi, this was spiritual qi!
The spiritual qi here gushed forth like tides, instantly submerging his perception.
The inner part of the cave was actually constructed from brilliant red crystals. The spiritual qi was so intense that Feng Lin involuntarily shivered.
This Three-layer Mountain was actually a spirit crystal mine!
Feng Lin’s spirit force continued to flow forward, extending in all directions. This place was like a beehive with many intersections. The area inside was tangled and extremely complicated. An underground palace appeared, and all sorts of rooms were available for residence. The primitive tools they owned were made from spirit crystals. The embryonic form of primitive tribes could be seen from here.
Swoosh~
From the depths of the cave, the wind gushed out like it was someone’s breathing. A terrifying existence seemed to be hiding deep inside, and his aura was incomparably heavy.
At the very least, the vitality stat of this lifeform was 3,000 and above!
Feng Lin instantly made a judgment. Even he felt an incredible pressure boring down on him.
He continued advancing, wanting to find out more about everything here.
The deeper his perception went, the more intense was the spiritual qi in the atmosphere. Now, the spiritual qi even condensed into clouds, gaining some hint of corporeality to their forms.
How luxurious was such a spiritual qi environment?
If an ordinary pig was to stay here, it would become a transcendent creature as long as it stayed long enough.
This Zheng Clan was truly powerful. Their members were all extremely fierce.
(It’s getting closer!)
As his perception advanced, the intensity of spiritual qi grew. The pressure felt like a mountain boring on him.
Feng Lin instinctively resisted.
ROAR!~
Just this tiny fluctuation seemed to have caused that incomparably terrifying existence to wake up. With a roar of anger, an intense bloodthirsty will shot out from the depths, wanting to trace back Feng Lin’s spirit force back to its source.
Feng Lin hurriedly severed his thread of spirit force. He opened his eyes but at the next instant, the entire Three-layer Mountain started to tremble fiercely. Countless Zheng Clan’s members were like men-eating ants, rushing out from all corners and snarling ferociously as though looking for something.
“What’s wrong?” Yana and the others were shocked.
“Transform!”
Feng Lin instantly used the art of transformation, transforming himself and his team into stones as their auras were concealed.
Pa, pa, pa!
Footsteps rang out.
The Zheng Clan’s members searched everywhere as they howled in anger.
Feng Lin’s art of transformation had already reached the realm of matter transformation, allowing him to pass off the genuine as the spurious. It wouldn’t be so easy to see through his disguise.
The members searched for half a day but didn’t find anything. Ultimately, they gave up and returned.
“What just happened exactly?” Yana asked.
They didn’t do anything, so why would these aboriginal people create such a huge commotion?
“The king of the Zheng Clan is terrifying to the extreme. His vitality stat is at least 3,000 and above, and his senses are simply too sensitive. My spiritual perception was discovered by it! If we want to assassinate it, we will need a new plan. If we clash head-on, there’s no chance for victory at all. We have to make good use of the level 5 equipment,” said Feng Lin in a heavy voice. With a wave of his hand, he took out the level 5 equipment they currently possessed.
The three level 5 equipment were respectively the quantum ray gun, deathray grenade, and the micro mecha.
“How should we allocate this three equipment to unleash their greatest power?” Feng Lin sought Yana’s opinion.
Yana sank into deep contemplation, trying to think of a strategy. After a while, she gave her answer. “Give the quantum ray gun to Su Li. He can use his ghostly speed to employ guerrilla warfare tactics, unleashing the maximum potential of the ray gun. As for the micro mecha, give it to Yi. He is a long-range attacker, and his defense isn’t enough. With the micro mecha equipped, it can enhance his defense and speed. As for the deathray grenade, Feng Lin, you will be the one to take it. You are the person with the strongest combat prowess in our team. Only you would have an opportunity to get near the Zheng Clan’s king and unleash the greatest killing might of the deathray grenade!”
Compared to Feng Lin; Yi, Su Li, and the two sisters were more suited for supporting purposes. It was not so easy for them to unleash the potential of the grenade.
Everything was for victory. Thus, Yana wasn’t biased and she didn’t allocate any level 5 equipment to herself or her sister.
“These five bottles of spirit explosion medicine can be considered high-tier medium-martial genetic potions. Within ten minutes, they can allow your vitality stat to explosively increase, doubling it. We will each take a bottle and we must use this at crucial moments.” Feng Lin’s team split the five bottles up. After that, they focused on their cultivation, adjusting themselves to the peak.
Genetic potential +1.2, +1.2, +1.2…
Very soon, Feng Lin obtained a free transcendent point.
However, he didn’t add it to any gene. He wanted to use it during crucial moments to recover his strength.
After some time, the other members of his team had also recovered to their peak state.
“Let’s go.” Feng Lin nodded to them. A moment later, a vast amount of Heart Monkey Force gushed out from the center of his brows, about half of it was instantly consumed.
His team members and himself now became five Zheng Clan’s members; no one could tell the difference.
Feng Lin’s team moved toward the depths of the lair. The dark cave hole was before their eyes, and it was like a giant maw, capable of devouring everything in the world.
“Guliguagua…neinei…” At this moment, strange noises rang out. Six Zheng Clan’s guards suddenly walked out. Their spears were pointed at Feng Lin’s team as they questioned them.
Seeing how fierce they were, it was like as long as Feng Lin’s team didn’t reply, they wouldn’t hesitate to run the spears through them.
“Jiji…wuwu..naji…” Yana calmly replied, conversing with the guards.
The hostility of these guards melted away and they stepped aside, allowing Feng Lin’s team to pass.
Feng Lin and the others were used to unexpected things. They calmly continued on, moving into the depths of the lair.
Inside the mountain, countless crystals could be seen lying around in public like trash. This extravagant scene made Yana, Yi, and the others pant with excitement.
However, the heavy pressure from the lair’s depth made them not dare to let their imaginations run wild.
They paid attention and made sure to avoid the other members of the Zheng Clan as they made their way into the depths of the lair. The formless pressure also grew increasingly heavier.
“Quickly look!” Feng Lin pointed. At the end of their current path, there were over ten members of the Zheng Clan with horns on their heads guarding here. Their auras were clearly different from the other aboriginals of the Zheng Clan. From a look, one could tell that they were elites.
In their surroundings, not a single normal member dared to go near them.
Clearly, this was the place their king was staying at. It was considered a forbidden ground.
If they walked in there like that, there was no doubt that they would instantly be slaughtered.
Feng Lin’s team could only temporarily hide at the side, observing the situation for now.
“The defense of the Zheng Clan’s king is too tight. It’s probably impossible for us to sneak in.” The five people stealthily stared at the scene before them. The situation didn’t seem too good.
This lair was like a dragon’s nest and the tiger’s den. It was extremely secure.
Even after a long time, they didn’t spot any flaws. They had no chance to act.
It wasn’t easy for them to sneak in here, surely they couldn’t just stand around and simply watched.
“Relax, there’s no rush.” Feng Lin actually calmed down at this moment. He spoke in a heavy voice, “The spirit crystal bead is inside. Those are also the ultimate goal for the other teams, and they would sooner or later clash with the Zheng Clan. We only need to wait for the situation to change and seize favorable opportunities to act. Although there’s only a chance to hunt the king and time is pressing, we shouldn’t be so hasty.”
Yana and the others nodded. They also understood that they had panicked earlier.
The five of them calmed themselves down, acting like experience hunters as they simply waited for their prey to make mistakes.
A day passed.
Two days passed!
Three days passed!!
In the blink of an eye, Feng Lin’s three had already camped in the lair of the Zheng Clan for three days.
The Zheng Clan’s king was still in the lair’s depth. It seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Moreover. those Zheng Clan’s elites were like robots, and they didn’t seem to know fatigue as they continued guarding the area.
Just when Feng Lin’s team members grew anxious and almost lost their patience, chaos suddenly erupted. From outside, the sounds of combat could be heard, creating a huge din.
Feng Lin’s eyes abruptly opened.
“The time is now. Let’s act!”
