Chapter 74: The Plan, Firelight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

I’ll try looking for a boss-level beast after I enter the origin source grounds.

Perhaps I’ll get another ore if I kill one.

After all, I’m quite lucky.

If he really couldn’t do it, he would go to the battle network store to take a look. Perhaps there were ores for sale there.

Lu Yuan thought helplessly.

At this time, Lu Yuan realized that the sky outside the window had become much darker, and the street lights had been turned on.

He looked at the time. It was already 6:24 P. M.

Lu Yuan started to absorb the ores at 12 noon and took about six hours.

He only needed a few breaths to absorb a spiritual crystal, so one could imagine how difficult it was to absorb an ore.

However, compared to other genetic warriors, Lu Yuan was still several times faster.

At night, Lu Yuan did not continue to absorb the remaining ore.

That black shadow might appear at night.

He was not in the origin source grounds now. If he were to indulge in absorbing the ore, he would not be able to avoid the black shadow if it appeared. It would be too dangerous.

He would continue tomorrow.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and opened the battle network.

He first went to the battle network Ssore to search for information on geno ores.

Not for sale.

Lu Yuan was not surprised.

After all, geno ores were too precious. No matter who it was, as long as they were genetic warriors, they would need this thing. If they put it up for sale, it would definitely be snatched away at the first moment.

Even if most genetic warriors had extra ores, they would most likely put them up for auction in order to obtain a higher profit.

However, it would take more than ten days for the auction house in Sandstone City to start, and there might not be any by then. Lu Yuan could only consider hunting the leader beast.

Previously, although Lu Yuan had killed the ancient sea giant crocodile leader, he knew his own situation. His strength was still far from that of the ancient sea giant crocodile leader.

The reason why he was able to kill the ancient sea giant crocodile leader was partly due to luck. Another reason was that the ancient sea giant crocodile leader was slow, which gave Lu Yuan the opportunity to exhaust it to death.

If he were to look for another beast leader, Lu Yuan would prefer to look for those who were slower and had weaker defense.

If it was an elemental type, it might be better. After all, as long as he could survive till the stage where the leader of the beasts used its combat skills, Lu Yuan would have a chance when its spiritual energy was exhausted.

Lu Yuan pondered as he clicked on the post in the battle network in the Sandstone City area.

He wanted to see if there was any news about the boss-level beast.

Although most of the leader-level beasts were discovered by the elite powerhouses of Sandrock city, they had their own circle and could hunt together without sharing the information on the battle network.

Even if they were to post information, it would be after they were done hunting.

However, it was also possible that an ordinary warrior would accidentally see a leader beast and post the address for money.

Lu Yuan was disappointed.

He searched through all the posts, but he couldn’t find anything about the location of the leader beast.

He could only go in and look for it himself.

Sandrock City was so big, and he didn’t know how long it would take to find it.

Moreover, he might not be able to kill the leader of the beasts he found.

He was already considered lucky to have encountered the ancient sea giant crocodile leader last time.

Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.

However, this was something that could not be helped.

For example, Wang Xiangxiang had already reached 100% for a period of time, but she had yet to break through.

One could imagine that the difficulty of breaking through was not low.

Lu Yuan was already considering whether he should cooperate with others when the time came.

For example, Liu Xi’s Tianfu Financial Group would be a good choice.

The Tianfu Financial Group should have their own elite soldiers. If they formed a team, it would be much easier to kill the leader beast.

Lu Yuan thought about it and decided to try it himself first. If it really didn’t work, he would think about it later.

For now, I’ll just increase my strength a little.

Lu Yuan took out the Riptide ring that he had placed in the battle rune dimension. With a thought, he absorbed the Riptide ring into his body.

Instantly, Lu Yuan felt his spirit turn cold and he became more sensitive.

At the same time, his strength and defense had also improved slightly.

A leader-level geno weapon was a great boost to a person.

Most importantly, the Riptide ring had a water arrow combat skill.

Lu Yuan knew the power of the water arrow combat technique.

Even he would be seriously injured if he was hit by it.

This could be considered a trump card.

Lu Yuan smiled as his strength increased again.

Soon, it was 10 O’ clock and Lu Yuan entered the land of origin again.

In the forest of the ancient sea oasis, Lu Yuan’s body appeared.

He looked around and moved deeper into the ancient sea oasis.

If he wanted to find the leader of the beasts, the core area of the ancient sea oasis had a better chance.

…

After Lu Yuan entered the land of origin, in the real world.

The deep night shrouded Xili city.

The other areas were brightly lit with neon lights, as if they were a city that never slept.

In the slums, only the streetlights flickered in the evening light. The streets were deserted and extremely quiet.

The chain restaurants, grocery stores, and small supermarkets that were open during the day in the slums would be closed at night. Otherwise, they would definitely be robbed by hooligans.

In the neighborhood, there were very few tenants with their lights on.

For the tenants living in the slums, their income was low and they were very tight on money. Even if it was only a small amount of electricity, they would not waste it if they could.

What’s more was that most of the residents in the slums could only do some physical work. They were already very tired after a day. If they didn’t rest well, it would affect their work the next day.

In a very ordinary neighborhood, two wild dogs were baring their teeth and growling at half a piece of rotten meat on the side of the road.

At this moment, they seemed to have sensed something terrifying. They jumped up at the same time and looked around vigilantly. Then, they didn’t even care about the food on the ground and ran away with their tails between their legs.

At the same time, the chirping insects seemed to have been silenced and lost their sound.

The entire neighborhood fell into a dead silence.

Under the moonlight, wisps of black mist suddenly seeped out of the middle two-story building in the community.

The temperature of the surrounding air dropped by one or two degrees.

In the black mist, strange black shadows moved around like ghosts.

All the tenants on the two floors were asleep, and strange black shadows melded into their bodies in their sleep.

Everyone let out a low muffled sound, frowning as they clutched their chests, convulsing.

Even so, they still did not wake up.

At the same time, two black shadows suddenly appeared at the entrance of the community.

A tall, burly, brown-haired man was Benjamin. At this moment, he was wearing a heavy gray armor. He held a huge shield that was as tall as a man in his left hand and a one-handed hammer in his right hand. The hammer had sharp spikes on it, making it look very ferocious.

The other was a tall and handsome young man with black hair.

The black-haired youth was wearing black leather armor and had a large bow on his back.

The two of them looked at the black mist in the distance, their expressions extremely grave.

Benjamin’s face turned ugly.”

“This mutated beast has already grown to this extent! This time, we must follow the vine to find the melon and find the person behind the scenes!”

The black-haired youth said,”

“I’m fast. I’ll go over first. Big Ming, you inform the Lord. ”

Benjamin glanced at the black-haired young man and nodded.”

“Hong, be careful. With such a mysterious mutation phenomenon, this mutated object’s level must be high! Don’t be tricked. ”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,”

The black-haired youth, Lin Hong, bent his legs and stomped on the ground. His body turned into a shadow and in a flash, he appeared on the top of a big tree a hundred meters away. In the next instant, his body disappeared and shot towards the building like lightning.

Benjamin quickly took out a black phone and pressed a string of numbers.

Li Qinghe’s projection appeared in the air.

“What’s going on?”

“Sir, we’ve found signs of mutation here.”

As he spoke, he looked at the black mist on the two floors, and his face turned ugly.”

“It’s not a small scale. ”

Li Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently,”

“The address.”

“Black Oak Street, Mingzhi District.”

“I’ll be there immediately. ”

“Good! I’ll go first …”

Boom!

Before Benjamin could finish his words, a deafening roar was heard, and flames emerged.

Benjamin’s face changed, and he quickly looked up in the direction of the higher ups.

The two-story building that was covered in black mist was now spewing out balls of flames.

The black mist from before had already dissipated.

The high temperature and the flames illuminated Benjamin’s somewhat ferocious face.

“Damn it … Hong!”

He quickly ran towards the tall building.
