Chapter 1410: Chapter 743: Shiji Spiderweb
In the time that followed, Old Ma and the others quickly began constructing the base, while Tu Long arranged for the patrol members to start clearing the Mutant Beasts on the Floating Island.
The Mutant Beasts on the Floating Island were extremely powerful; Genetic Species Level was considered ordinary, and Mutant Beasts at the gene recombination level appeared frequently.
This placed immense pressure on the patrol team; even with the help of the airship, they could only block the attacks of gene recombination level monsters, but killing them in return was extremely difficult.
As a result, the progress of clearing the monsters on the island was very slow.
Fortunately, as the base was being constructed, Yangshan continuously transported more personnel up.
The population on the entire Floating Island was rapidly increasing.
On Liang Yuan’s side, he had been constantly searching for the Heart Core and Brain Core inside the Floating Island.
An area of twenty-odd square kilometers—neither too big nor too small.
Instead of searching through the complicated bloodline routes, Liang Yuan flew directly between the giant corpse’s organs to search, which greatly accelerated his pace.
About three days later, Liang Yuan stopped in front of a spherical organ that emitted a dark red glow.
This organ had a diameter of more than one kilometer, entirely dark red, its surface wrapped in a large number of massive blood vessels of varying thickness.
“As expected, this should be the heart of this Floating Island giant corpse!”
“I wonder what attribute it belongs to.”
A trace of anticipation appeared on Liang Yuan’s face; without another word, he quickly approached this dark red sphere.
He flew a circle around this heart and found the thickest bloodline route.
Then he immediately activated his Superpower, releasing large amounts of Protein Corrosive Liquid to rapidly erode this blood vessel.
Before long, a passageway was corroded open in the blood vessel.
Liang Yuan leaped, jumping into the interior of the bloodline route.
The air here was even more turbid and foul.
Liang Yuan held his breath and looked down at his feet.
Beneath his feet were large quantities of dark red Crystal Stones; there was no doubt these were Blood Crystals.
Liang Yuan raised his fist and smashed it down!
Thud!
The entire bloodline route trembled along with it; at the point where his fist landed, the Blood Crystals instantly exploded, and numerous cracks spread out.
Liang Yuan casually dug out a piece and felt the energy attribute within.
A moment later, his eyes snapped open, revealing a look of delight.
“Physical Class Blood Crystal!”
These dark red Blood Crystals actually turned out to be Physical Class Blood Crystals!
Yangshan currently had quite a few Floating Islands, but so far, not a single one was Physical Class.
Yet among the survivors in Yangshan, Physical Class, Power, and Speed Superpower Users were the most numerous!
These Superpower Users had long been troubled by the lack of sufficient Genetic Species; many were stuck below the Genetic Species Level, unable to break through for a long time.
Now with these Blood Crystals, the number of Physical Class Superpower User experts in Yangshan would definitely see an explosive surge!
Liang Yuan’s heart was filled with joy; after all, even his Evolution Superpower was originally considered one type of Physical Class Superpower.
Later, after awakening the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Gene, strictly speaking, it was still of the Physical Class.
In other words, Liang Yuan could also absorb the Blood Crystals here without any issues.
Overflowing with delight, Liang Yuan immediately headed quickly toward the atrium side.
There he saw that the atrium was crammed full of solidified blood-colored Crystal Stones, actually blocking more than two-thirds of the heart chamber!
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “Hahaha, so many Physical Class Blood Crystals, this time we’re going to make a killing!”
He rapidly released his Spiritual Power, then continuously searched for the location of the Heart Core within the atrium.
Before long, he found a core emitting a powerful Qi and Blood fluctuation right at the center of the atrium!
Without another word, Liang Yuan immediately began excavating.
With his current Power, digging out Blood Crystals was nothing at all.
Liang Yuan directly transformed into a golden-furred hou; his twin claws were like blades, continuously slicing through the Blood Crystals with crackling sounds, cutting open the Crystal Stones.
Before long, he had already dug out that blood-colored Crystal Core.
The entire Crystal Core was wrapped in a mass of dark red energy substance; Liang Yuan was overjoyed and, without hesitation, opened his mouth.
With the enormous jaws of the golden-furred hou, he easily swallowed this giant Heart Core into his belly.
Right after, Liang Yuan closed his eyes and began refining the Heart Core.
As Time slowly passed, the Heart Core was gradually refined, and the information it contained regarding this Floating Island was slowly absorbed and digested by Liang Yuan.
After a long while, Liang Yuan opened his eyes and returned to his human form.
His consciousness could now perceive any terrain or topography on this Floating Island; he could even manipulate the landforms, moving mountains and rivers.
“It worked!”
Liang Yuan smiled, and at the same time, he had already sensed the location of the Brain Lake.
“So the true body of this Floating Island is a giant beast called the Flying Sky Manta Ray.”
“This kind of giant beast is similar to the manta rays in the ocean, or rather, it evolved from manta rays.”
“It can not only move swiftly underwater, but can even roam through the void.”
“It’s not a mammalian giant beast, yet it has more blood than mammalian giants, with stronger Qi and Blood—this is a standard Physical Mutation Beast.”
Feeling the partial genetic memories carried within the Heart Core, Liang Yuan’s understanding of this creature grew ever more thorough.
He didn’t have time to delve deeply into the various peculiarities of the Flying Sky Manta Ray; following the direction indicated by his senses, he rushed off at top speed to find the Brain Lake.
“I hope the Brain Core is still there and hasn’t been accidentally eaten or refined by some other creature.”
Liang Yuan moved very fast; this time he did not travel from the outside, but walked along a bloodline route.
He seemed extremely familiar with these crisscrossing bloodline routes; at the different branches, he chose one path after another without the slightest hesitation.
This was thanks to his having mastered the Heart Core of the Flying Sky Manta Ray; at this moment, Liang Yuan had a complete grasp of all the structures of this island.
No matter how complex the bloodline routes were, in Liang Yuan’s mind they had become incomparably clear.
Swish, swish, swish—!
Before long, Liang Yuan had already traversed nearly ten kilometers and appeared in front of a massive gelatinous lake.
The lake’s area wasn’t very large, only about the size of five or six football fields, but it was considerably bigger than that atrium.
The White gelatinous lake was surrounded by dark red walls of flesh.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Yuan leapt and dived directly into the Brain Lake.
Plop!
The gelatinous, viscous lake water splashed up sticky waves, sending ripples out in rings.
Liang Yuan shot forward underwater, swiftly swimming in the direction he sensed.
After only a few hundred meters, He suddenly halted, eyes fixing on the gelatinous lake water ahead.
He saw, within the gelatinous lake, one submersible after another hovering in the water.
The Runes on the submersibles flickered with light, and a layer of protective shield shrouded their surroundings.
The exterior of each submersible was painted with a huge logo.
It was a sprouting bud, just breaking through the seed!
“Mengya Company?”
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow. “So they still have a group that’s already explored all the way to the Brain Lake!”
“Just don’t know if they’ve found the Brain Core yet.”
Liang Yuan guessed silently in His heart, then quickly swam in that direction.
Before long, He saw that deep in the Brain Lake ahead, there was an empty, hollowed-out region.
It was as if an invisible fluctuation covered the area around, isolating it from the gelatinous lake water.
“That is—the Brain Core region!”
Seeing this, Liang Yuan instantly recalled the scene back at the Dark Abyss Mouth when He had seized the Brain Core.
Back then, the Brain Core had been eaten by the Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon, but the scene at the time was very similar to what He was seeing now.
However, inside this vacuum region in front of Him, dark red light flowed, and an opening had already been forced open.
Through it, He could see quite a few armed personnel going in and out.
These people were currently mining Spirit Attribute Blood Crystals!
Liang Yuan immediately felt that something was wrong. “They’ve already started mining Blood Crystals. Could it be that the Brain Core has already been refined by them?”
Just as He was thinking this, the Brain Lake behind Him rippled. Right after, a gigantic net of blazing light suddenly appeared in the water, whooshing down to cover Liang Yuan!
Liang Yuan’s heart jolted. “Who’s there!”
He instinctively activated His Superpower, directly unleashing His Space Superpower. Space twisted at once, and His body shifted a few hundred meters away!
In that instant, He slipped out from under the coverage of the giant net.
But it wasn’t over yet. The submersibles hovering around suddenly roared as their engines fired up.
The next moment, those submersibles shot rapidly in all directions around Liang Yuan.
The giant net then swelled like an inflated net bag, instantly scooping Liang Yuan up.
Runes lit up all over the net, and the threads immediately secreted a strongly adhesive substance that wildly stuck to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan’s face darkened slightly. “Mengya Company, impressive setup.”
“Heh heh heh, got you!”
A soft chuckle rang out, and then the Brain Lake rippled as a figure revealed itself from within the lake.
This person was about one meter eighty tall, dressed in standardized gear with Mengya Company’s logo on the chest, but the color of this outfit was different from that of the regular Mengya Company personnel.
Obviously, this was a higher-up in Mengya Company.
The man’s whole body was shrouded in Water Element power, clearly a Water Attribute Superpower User.
With a mocking smile on his face, He said, “Who are you? You dare trespass into our Mengya Company base and even wreck our base? You’re courting death!”
Even though His entire body was bound and stuck by the viscous net, Liang Yuan narrowed His eyes and remained calm. He asked, “Who are you?”
“Hehe, so you can die with some clarity, I’m the captain of Mengya Company’s vanguard 19th squad, Zhou Haoran!”
“Kid, I can sense a familiar aura on you. You refined the Heart Core?” Zhou Haoran asked coldly.
Liang Yuan grinned. “Funny, I’m sensing a familiar aura on you too. Looks like the Brain Core is on you.”
Cold killing intent flashed across Zhou Haoran’s face as He barked, “If you don’t want to die, hand over the Heart Core. Otherwise, I’ll let you taste my methods!”
Liang Yuan smiled faintly. “That’s exactly what I was about to say to you.”
“You’re seeking death!”
Zhou Haoran flew into a rage, waved His hand, and shouted, “Electric-grid form!”
The next moment, at the far ends of the giant net binding Liang Yuan, several submersibles simultaneously flipped their switches.
In an instant, dense high-voltage arcs flashed along the countless threads, madly racing toward Liang Yuan!
A terrifying surge of high-voltage current was about to tear through Liang Yuan’s body.
But Liang Yuan only curled His lips. His figure suddenly grew dim.
In the blink of an eye, right under everyone’s eyes, He turned into a shadowy phantom, like an invisible shadow, phasing straight through the gluey giant net.
“What!”
Zhou Haoran was shocked. “The Shiji Spider Web has never failed to stick anything. This is… Dark Attribute Ability!”
“Not good!”
Zhou Haoran’s expression changed drastically, but He didn’t back away. Murderous intent flickered in His eyes.
Suddenly, a terrifying blood mist erupted from His body.
The next instant, the blood mist spread out, and a gigantic blue crab appeared in Liang Yuan’s field of view!
Gene recombination form!
This Zhou Haoran was a gene recombination expert!
After transforming into the giant crab, blue halos surged around Him.
Gurgling bubbles continuously jetted out, swelling and clustering together, forming a ring of bubbles around Him, each bubble connected to the next.
When Liang Yuan’s shadow slipped into one of the bubbles, His brow immediately twitched.
Inside the bubble was saturated with Water Element power, preventing Him from using His Dark Attribute shadow stealth ability!
“Interesting.”
Liang Yuan chuckled softly. Dark Attribute Ability excelled at hiding and escaping, but was at something of a disadvantage in direct confrontations.
But this wasn’t His only Ability.
Liang Yuan’s figure solidified, blood mist billowed out, and then the surrounding water vapor suddenly turned bone-chillingly cold.
From within that blood mist, a gigantic figure thirty meters tall emerged!
With its appearance, the temperature around them plummeted, and even those bubbles instantly froze and exploded!
Gene recombination, Ice Bear Form!
