Chapter 1403: Chapter 736: Abyss Island Near the Military
“Brother Liang, you’re back?”
In the Miyuan Rainforest, Zhao Kai saw Liang Yuan return safely and let out a sigh of relief.
Liang Yuan smiled, “The military can’t keep me, has Qinghua returned?”
“Yes, as you instructed, he took the fleet from Mengya Company back to Yangshan and handed it to the research department for inspection.”
“Why did the military ask you to go there?” Zhao Kai asked curiously.
Liang Yuan replied, “They want to cooperate with our alliance.”
“Cooperation with the alliance? Haven’t we already been considered part of an alliance before?”
Liang Yuan sneered, “This time is different; they’ve encountered Mengya Company as an enemy and can’t hold them off, so they hope to receive our assistance.”
Zhao Kai immediately frowned, “Brother Liang, you can’t easily agree to that.”
Liang Yuan shook his head, “I know, don’t worry, I have it under control.”
He briefly recounted the events on Cloud Mist Island.
Upon hearing that Feng Jiangong might join Yangshan, Zhao Kai’s eyes lit up.
“Feng Jiangong’s combat power is impressive. If he could join us at Yangshan, we’d have another expert, and with his abilities, he could easily hold one of our positions.”
Liang Yuan smiled, “He is indeed a talent, but we have plenty of experts at Yangshan now. You’ve all grown, no need to belittle yourself.”
“Let’s not talk about this. If he comes to see me, please help with his reception.”
“Ah? Me? Then what about you?”
“I have some matters, need to go to Abyss Island. By the way, do you know where the Abyss Island discovered by the military is located?”
“Yes, it’s not too far from here, Brother Liang. The Abyss Island has gene recombination level mutant beasts inside; why are you going there?”
“To catch a couple of gene recombination level mutant beasts for experimentation.”
Zhao Kai was stunned, then smiled wryly.
These superpower users who have just broken through to gene recombination need to be cautious facing gene recombination level mutant beasts.
Yet, Liang Yuan is already beginning to catch gene recombination mutant beasts for experiments.
I truly don’t know the extent of Brother Liang’s strength.
Zhao Kai marveled inwardly.
Thus, he immediately pointed Liang Yuan in the right direction, originally planning to send someone to accompany him.
But Liang Yuan declined, stating that capturing gene recombination mutant beasts was dangerous and he didn’t want to bring anyone along.
Subsequently, Liang Yuan quickly arrived near Abyss Island.
From afar, he could see several military ships anchored on the water’s surface near Abyss Island.
Liang Yuan then recalled that the underwater ancient tomb discovered by the military seemed to be in this vicinity of the Abyss.
Connecting it to the Abyss Island where he discovered the Golden Roc, Liang Yuan appeared pensive.
“So the spiritual split thought of the ancient superpower user hidden around Guangfu is likely linked to the ancient tomb near Abyss Island?”
Suddenly, Liang Yuan had a realization: the hiding places of ancient superpower users always seemed related to Abyss Island.
With this thought, Liang Yuan immediately flashed into Sumeru Space.
Within Sumeru Space, Golden Roc’s skeletal remains were still lying on the ground. Liang Yuan promptly summoned his spirit body.
“Master!”
After emerging from the skeleton, Golden Roc quickly greeted Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, gazing at the skeleton on the ground, observing the body soaked in the blood pool, which had already grown significant flesh.
It seems that Golden Roc’s physical recovery was not far off.
Liang Yuan asked, “How long until it’s fully restored?”
“With enough fresh blood, it can be restored in two days.”
Liang Yuan inquired, “Once restored, to what extent can your strength reach?”
“Approximately 20% of gene recombination, my spiritual origin strand is too weak to return to peak levels.”
“Can you sense your spiritual split mind?”
“Yes, but the distance is a bit far.”
Liang Yuan asked, “I have a question for you. Why did you all choose to build your resting places near Abyss Island?”
Golden Roc was slightly surprised, then shook his head and said, “Mr. Liang, we didn’t choose to hide our remains on Abyss Island; we instinctively left our bodies in places we considered safe.”
“In ancient times, most superpower users would capture powerful mutant beasts, tame them, and use them as mounts.”
“These mutant beasts have long lifespans, often outliving us superpower users by hundreds of years.”
“We instinctively hid our bodies inside these mutant beasts.”
“As for why these mutant beasts turned into Floating Islands and Abyss Islands thousands of years later, I’m not sure.”
Liang Yuan was slightly stunned upon hearing this and asked, “Are you saying these Floating Islands were once your pet beasts?”
“Yes, the Abyss Island where you found me used to be my pet beast, the Mastiff Wolf.”
“Upon awakening, I realized this, but don’t understand why my Mastiff Wolf, a strong exotic beast of gene recombination level back then, turned into Abyss Island.”
Liang Yuan furrowed his brows, “What in the world did these giant beasts experience, why in history, they have almost been reduced to mere legends, without even leaving real descendants?”
“Even if no descendants were left, then where did their remains go?”
“The critical point is, after the flood catastrophe, why did they suddenly all reappear?”
Liang Yuan frowned, grasping this point with difficulty.
Golden Roc shook its head further, saying, “This question you ask is beyond my knowledge. When I chose to reincarnate, there were plenty of superpower users and mutant beasts.”
“And once we choose to reincarnate, consciousness inevitably falls into slumber.”
“I only woke up recently, and upon awakening, it was already the end of the flood apocalypse.”
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows, puzzled.
It seemed there were secrets still hidden in ancient times.
What mysteries lay behind the flood catastrophe?
Unable to deduce, Liang Yuan decided not to overthink it for now.
He left the Sumeru Space, then silently dove into the water, avoiding the military ships’ notice, and arrived at the underwater Abyss Island.
This Abyss Island was quite large, but slightly smaller in size compared to the Abyss Island where the carcass of the Golden Retriever Terrier lay.
However, this Abyss Island was full of various mutant beasts, many of which were powerful and terrifying in presence.
Liang Yuan even sensed a few mutant beasts exerting significant pressure on him.
“I’ve reached a 30% progress in gene recombination, and yet these mutant beasts are imposing such pressure on me. Could it be that their gene recombination progress is even higher than mine?”
Liang Yuan was secretly astonished, questioning himself as he believed his cultivation speed in superpowers was already very fast.
How do these underwater mutant beasts cultivate, then?
Is their gene recombination randomly matched?
Liang Yuan couldn’t figure it out, but he did not forget his purpose for this trip.
Circling around this Abyss Island, Liang Yuan soon identified a mutant fish at the level of gene recombination.
This mutant fish reached an estimated length of over twenty meters, and its gene recombination progress was likely over 20%.
Of course, this was only speculation, as the size of a mutant beast doesn’t necessarily correlate directly with its gene recombination progress.
For example, a blue whale is already dozens of meters in its normal form; when gene-mutated, who knows how terrifying it would become.
Thus, Liang Yuan’s judgment standards did not solely rely on the target’s size but also his own perception.
Facing mutant beasts stronger than himself, he would naturally feel a sense of pressure.
However, the red-scaled mutant fish before him did not give him such a threatening feeling.
Therefore, Liang Yuan made this assumption.
Swish!
Liang Yuan’s figure flashed, instantly arriving beside the mutant fish.
Buzz!
The mutant fish was highly sensitive, instantly sensing danger.
Before Liang Yuan could take action, it immediately flicked its tail, its enormous body darting forward like a dragon.
Moreover, red defensive light instantly appeared on its surrounding scales.
Liang Yuan was taken aback, but reacted quickly.
His hands sharply pointed at the water in front of him.
Instantly, the rippling waves split open, revealing a massive spatial gate.
Rumble rumble!
Torrents of water rushed into the gate, causing the unreacting mutant fish to be sucked inside.
Liang Yuan quickly closed the Sumeru Space, with a smile forming at his lips.
“The Sumeru Space is indeed useful in such circumstances.”
Liang Yuan chuckled, his figure flickering as he entered the Sumeru Space. After forcibly enslaving the mutant fish, he came out again, continuing to scout for mutant beasts.
Thus, for the rest of the day, Liang Yuan hunted these mutant beasts near the Abyss Island.
In total, he captured four, each with gene recombination progress over 20%.
To test the damage level of Thundercloud against different superpowers, Liang Yuan specially selected mutant beasts of different attributes.
These four mutant beasts represented Spirit class, Physical class, Earth Element, and Gold Element respectively.
Besides the fiery red-scaled mutant fish, there was an earth-yellow mutant crab, a golden mutant seahorse, and a pink-colored mutant giant salamander.
The red-scaled mutant fish belonged to Physical class, crab was Earth Attribute, seahorse was Metal Attribute, and salamander was Spirit Attribute.
“Unfortunately, I only found these four. It would be great if I could find a Thunder Attribute one as well.”
“Supposedly, Thunder Attribute mutant beasts should be more resistant to lightning.”
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head, turning his gaze toward the Abyss Island.
“Having finished with those, let’s see what’s the deal with this Abyss Island.”
Swish!
Liang Yuan’s figure flickered, swiftly entering the interior of the Abyss Island.
Finding a cave-like sinkhole, Liang Yuan ventured inside.
Escaping downwards through Earth Escape, he stopped upon reaching the fleshy layer and couldn’t descend further.
He remained calm, taking out the protein corrosive liquid prepared beforehand, and started corroding the Abyss Island’s flesh layer.
Soon, the flesh layer was corroded to form a very deep hole.
Liang Yuan immediately drilled in, entering the internal space of the Abyss Island.
All around was empty and dark.
Through spiritual perception, Liang Yuan discovered many gigantic organs at a distance, already petrified and similar phenomena occurring.
“Having entered the interior of the Abyss Island, these internal conditions seem worse than Floating Island.”
Looking at the petrified organs, Liang Yuan understood that precisely due to their continuous petrification, the entire Abyss Island’s weight increased, causing it to lose buoyancy, slowly sinking, forming the Abyss Island.
Flying with telekinesis, Liang Yuan explored this space at high speed.
Soon, he found its heart’s location.
Liang Yuan flew over, using the protein corrosive liquid again to dissolve the heart barriers.
Soon after, a passage opened up.
But before he could enter, he heard the sound of digging and continuous urging and shouts from inside.
Liang Yuan’s mind stirred, quickly hiding his form, entering a shadow state.
Then he sneaked in, soon seeing the situation inside the atrium ahead.
A group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms was seen supervising a ragged group of superpower users, constantly excavating large amounts of azure blood crystal ores!
The mined blood crystals would be transported to a blood crystal pile nearby.
And by the blood crystal pile, soldiers in camouflage uniforms specially packed them into space gear, quickly transporting them along a blood vessel road.
Witnessing this scene, Liang Yuan understood: “The military has already found the heart’s location in this Abyss Island, and these people are already mining blood crystals here.”
