Chapter 1174: Chapter 515: News of the Physical Mutation Beast
The underwater light is woven with yellow, green, and blue, appearing extremely mysterious and fantastical.
Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised and said, "How is there still light?"
"It’s the coral lights," Guan Yue laughed.
Liang Yuan was puzzled, "Coral lights?"
Ji Xiaoyu explained from the side, "These are clusters of corals that can emit a faint glow, attracting many organisms to reside among them."
"Among them is a type of mutant fish we call lightfish, because their bodies can emit a gentle glow."
"These fish love to hide among the coral clusters to rest. We’ve artificially planted many coral groups here, and outside you saw that our building is covered densely with these corals, right?"
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but nod slightly as he followed the two to the entrance of the net wall.
The entrance was the doorway to the second floor of the store.
The first floor was already half-buried in mud and sand, making it impossible to enter or exit.
Upon entering the second-floor door, Liang Yuan saw the so-called coral lights.
The interior of the vast mall was as bright as daytime.
In the center of the mall, a large area was cordoned off, where there was a huge coral cluster.
The coral cluster emitted a faint glow, with many glowing small fish swimming and darting within.
They were small, only about the size of a palm, nearly transparent, so much so that fish bones and viscera could be seen.
Yet within these small fish, they emitted a gentle glow.
There were milky white, fluorescent green, and ice blue.
These lights intertwined and illuminated the entire floor of the mall as the fish swam.
Even in the nearby mall shops, there were small coral clusters.
These coral clusters and lightfish entirely replaced light bulbs, serving the purpose of illumination underwater.
Liang Yuan noticed two slightly older superpower users sitting beneath the coral cluster.
Upon seeing Liang Yuan and the other two, they immediately shifted their attention.
One of them, clearly a merfolk superpower user, stood up instantly, watching the stranger Liang Yuan alertly.
"Guan Yue, Xiaoyu, who is this?" Ke Guinong couldn’t help but ask.
The superpower user with the face of a middle-aged woman also couldn’t help but ask, "Who are you?"
Guan Yue hurried forward to explain, "Uncle Nong, Aunt Zhou, he is also a merfolk superpower user. He destroyed Eden and killed Wu Yaobang. He’s here this time at Xiaoyu’s invitation to make a trade with us."
Ke Guinong and Zhou Guixiang were both astonished, quickly coming over to inquire about what happened.
Guan Yue had anticipated this, glanced apologetically at Liang Yuan, and then explained the situation outside to the two of them.
Upon hearing that Wu Yaobang, the troublemaker, was dead and the fools from Eden were subdued by Liang Yuan, who had occupied Little Straw Mountain,
For a while, the underwater superpower users were shocked, and their gazes toward Liang Yuan were filled with awe.
Ke Guinong whispered, "Wasn’t Wu Yaobang known for his deathless body? How did he die?"
Zhou Guixiang also asked in surprise, "Can our merfolk superpower users be such powerful experts?"
Ji Xiaoyu immediately said, "I saw it with my own eyes, isn’t that enough proof?"
"Xiaoyu, what trade does he want to make with us?" Ke Guinong couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Xiaoyu looked at Guan Yue, who then spoke, "Let me explain, Mr. Liang has occupied Little Straw Mountain. He wants to find a physical mutation genetic species beast to help his friend break through the genetic species."
"Xiaoyu is trading with him, hoping to exchange information on the whereabouts of the Swordtail Sea Serpent for a piece of land on Little Straw Mountain for us to live on in the future."
"What! Swordtail Sea Serpent?" Ke Guinong was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but say, "That creature is almost the strongest genetic species mutant beast underwater in this space. Even with the top experts from the alliance back then, they couldn’t kill it, and it was severely harmed."
"You’re trading with it, would Mr. Liang agree?"
Zhou Guixiang also couldn’t help but remind them, "You’re too reckless; in the end, if the trade doesn’t go through, you’ll harm him unnecessarily."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "At worst, I’ll advise him not to go after the Swordtail Sea Serpent."
"But we can’t stay underwater forever; I’m tired of eating mutant fish and these seaweeds. I want cooked food; I want those vegetables and fruits on land!"
Guan Yue and the others couldn’t help but smile bitterly, although they possessed superpowers, allowing them to transform into merfolk or sea creatures, living underwater.
But underwater life doesn’t have fire or various seasonings.
Eating is raw and bloody; how could they bear it?
Who would want to stay in the water if they could return to live on land?
Liang Yuan didn’t pay attention to their discussions; he was still examining this underwater shelter.
It was called a shelter, but in reality, it’s just this mall.
Most of the second-floor mall was already empty, with many shop rolling shutters down.
Liang Yuan checked out several places where the shutters weren’t down, noticing that there were even beds.
He was a bit surprised; do these merfolk and sea creature superpower users actually sleep here?
If they were to sleep halfway and ran out of superpower energy, unable to maintain their transformation, wouldn’t they suffocate?
Liang Yuan floated upwards, looking at the third and fourth floors of the mall and found that few people were living on those floors.
Taking a brief look around, Liang Yuan estimated that this underwater mall shelter actually housed at most just over twenty people.
When he turned back to the second floor, a number of superpower users were already gradually gathering around him.
They had heard about Little Straw Mountain, and while shocked, they were all assessing Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan smiled at them and finally came to stand in front of Guan Yue and Ji Xiaoyu, asking, "Who is in charge here?"
Guan Yue glanced at Ke Guinong and said, "Uncle Guinong has the highest main attribute among us. We all listen to him."
Ke Guinong hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "I’m old, there are many things here that Xiao Yue and the others are handling."
Liang Yuan nodded, "Since both of you are here, I’ll get straight to the point. Your numbers shouldn’t exceed thirty people, right?"
"Yes." Guan Yue nodded slightly, looking somewhat bleak, "We originally had over fifty or sixty people who could live underwater."
"After the battle on Sakura Avenue, we lost a lot of people. Now, only we remain."
"The battle on Sakura Avenue?" Liang Yuan asked in confusion.
Ji Xiaoyu reminded, "It’s the battle where Wu Yaobang deceived our alliance experts."
Liang Yuan realized, thinking for a moment before saying, "You don’t have many people, I can’t give you a large territory."
"The middle of Little Straw Mountain, remember the place you led us through the cave into Little Straw Mountain?"
"I remember."
"The cave leads directly underwater, outside the cave, there are several terraces, I’ll allocate that area to you."
"You people can build houses on the shore centered around that cave, living on the land."
"If you wish to return underwater, you can always use the underwater passage in the cave."
"What do you think?"
Ji Xiaoyu and Guan Yue exchanged a glance, Guan Yue promptly nodded, "I think it’s good. This way, we can live on land and return underwater without attracting attention."
"Mr. Liang, if our population increases in the future, can we expand our living area?" Ke Guinong couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan smiled, "Of course, in the apocalypse, population is the most precious resource."
"However, I must say in advance, Little Straw Mountain is only so big, land resources are scarce, and all use of land must be planned."
"If you want to build houses, I’ll later send someone to specifically construct buildings; otherwise, if everyone builds standalone houses, it’ll waste too much space."
Ke Guinong couldn’t resist smiling, saying, "We actually don’t mind where we live, mainly we want a piece of land to grow our own food. Can’t adapt to life underwater."
Liang Yuan laughed, "Of course you can farm. In the future, Little Straw Mountain is definitely going to achieve self-sufficiency."
"I’ll bring professionals to develop Little Straw Mountain."
If the space here is stable enough, Liang Yuan hopes to develop it into Yangshan’s backup base.
"Thank you, Mr. Liang."
"Thank you, thank you."
Ke Guinong, Guan Yue, and Zhou Guixiang expressed their gratitude.
The others around also stepped forward to thank Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan looked at Ji Xiaoyu and smiled, "Xiaoyu, should you tell me the location of that sword-tailed sea serpent now?"
Ji Xiaoyu’s smile froze, she hurriedly advised, "Mr. Liang, I know the sword-tailed sea serpent’s location, but really, don’t try to attack it."
"It’s really powerful. Our Genetic Species Level superpower user alliance tried to hunt it but failed and were gravely injured."
"This gave Wu Yaobang the opportunity, and to this day, we regret teaming up to kill the sword-tailed sea serpent."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan asked, "Is this sword-tailed sea serpent really that powerful?"
"Yes, super powerful, even Wu Yaobang dares not provoke it," Ji Xiaoyu said.
Liang Yuan rubbed his chin, "If that’s the case, then it must be killed."
"Ah? Why?" Ji Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"If it isn’t killed now, and allowed to grow, it will eventually become a much stronger and terrifying monster."
"By then, it won’t be a matter of whether we want to kill it or not, but whether it wants to dominate the entire folded space."
Liang Yuan’s words startled everyone present.
They understood this rationale, but none dared to think deeply about it.
Everyone is unable to defeat the sword-tailed sea serpent, so naturally, they live day by day.
As long as the sword-tailed sea serpent doesn’t come out to hunt humans, they can continue to survive.
Wu Yaobang probably had similar thoughts.
He focused on hunting physical mutation beasts to strengthen his own power.
There’s no reason not to kill the sword-tailed sea serpent.
He must have been unable to defeat the sword-tailed sea serpent, so he could only watch it dominate underwater.
But Wu Yaobang being unable to kill the sword-tailed sea serpent doesn’t mean Liang Yuan can’t.
Wu Yaobang appears to have 87 points in main attributes, but his attack capability is weak.
Liang Yuan is different; his highest attribute is Power, and he has Skills like [Muscle Burst] to amplify his Power.
Therefore, he has a better chance than Wu Yaobang.
Moreover, having gone through the Three Great Sects battle and killed so many experts, his points have skyrocketed again.
He now has soared to over three hundred thousand!
Such a massive amount of points is enough for him to draw thirty Attribute Points.
If he’s lucky, he might even fill up one of the four major attributes to a hundred points!
