Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 215: Killing the aberrations

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Pitter, patter...

The smelly drool dripped onto the ground, causing sizzling sounds to echo as black smoke was emitted.

There was a total of four aberrations. Their fangs glistened with a sickening light, and they had stooped postures, completely surrounding Feng Lin. Their elongated eyeballs were disgusting to look at. Their gazes were filled with greed, venom, and malevolence. A strong baleful aura radiated from them, and those octopus-like monsters from earlier had all been frightened away.

The grades between the different races were clear. When one encountered an existence at a higher level, the ones lower on the food chain would naturally flee as fast as they could.

Shriek!

The four aberrations moved nearer as though they could no longer suppress their hunger. Under the urges from their bestial nature, they frenziedly lunged over.

Their claws were like hooks; they moved rapidly and resembled raptors, transforming into black shadows that sped through the forest, rushing at Feng Lin.

Their maws wrenched open to 180 degrees, revealing rows of fangs. But as terrifying as the fangs might be, their tongues were even deadlier. They were like sharp spears, capable of piercing through the bodies of their targets with ease.

These four aberrations were as expected of terrifying biochemical weaponized monsters. Their combat prowess was exceedingly great. In an instant, the power of their attacks could climb to terrifying heights. If ordinary humans were to face such attacks, they would instantly be shredded to pieces and devoured cleanly.

Now that their maws were so close to him, Feng Lin could clearly smell the stench of their saliva.

“Scram!” He stood at his original location and roared angrily. A silver light erupted from the center of his brows as his spirit force gushed forth like tide waters, creating billowing waves of power.

With Feng Lin at the center, his aura erupted forth in all directions. A mushroom-shaped cloud of dust formed from the impact.

The four aberrations were sent flying, followed by being ruthlessly slammed onto the ground.

As biochemical monsters, these aberrations had exo-skeletons that were as tough as metal covering their bodies. It effectively protected their internal organs. They shook themselves to clear their minds before rushing back toward Feng Lin while emitting hair-raising howls. It was like they didn’t know what fatigue or fear was.

Two of the aberrations sped on the ground while the other two leaped onto the trees and swung from branch to branch. Their claws were extremely sharp; rocks would crumble before their might, and their speed was exceptional as well.

Their auras gushed forth threateningly. The malevolence on their faces never fade. Their thick tails swept left and right unceasingly, as tough as an iron whip. These aberrations were like Asuras who had crawled out from the depths of hell, wanting to devour all living things.

Feng Lin’s powerful spirit force continued to gush forth, transforming into a spirit fist that slammed into the aberrations.

However, they were like unkillable cockroaches, climbing up to their feet again and again as they continued to attack.

If a tiger doesn’t unleash its might, would you take it for a sick cat?

Feng Lin coldly snorted in his heart.

After a short exchange of blows, Feng Lin was already clear of the nature of these aberrations. It was very similar to his earlier understanding. These weren’t transcendent creatures, but they stood at the apex of natural predators. They were more terrifying compared to the t-rex, mammoth, deinosuchus...

They had shocking strength and speed, and their bodies were as tough as metal. Other than the fact that their intelligence was low, they could be considered perfect creatures with no other flaws.

Feng Lin’s spirit force could lift tens of tonnes of rocks, yet he wasn’t able to deal critical damage to them.

And from what he knew, once these aberrations got close to the human body, they could even lay their eggs in humans. Once the spawns were birthed, they would consume human genetic as materials and combine the genes of their hosts with their owns to aid them in rapid evolution. It was extremely fearsome.

Although Feng Lin wasn’t afraid of them, he didn’t want to risk being infected by a parasite. Who knew what other abilities these monsters had?

“Change!” Seeing that his spirit force wasn’t able to mortally injure these aberrations, Feng Lin called out loudly. The ring on his finger rapidly transformed, becoming elongated in shape and continued to lengthen and thicken, becoming a perfectly round metal cudgel in his hand.

Wu, wu, wu!

In the past, the Great Sage Will had awakened before. Through his memories, Feng Lin managed to master a set of ‘Great Sage Cudgel Arts’. He instinctively waved the cudgel around, causing the sky to be filled with cudgel shadows as his entire person brimmed with ferocious might.

An aberration rushed forward.

Feng Lin jumped and smashed down with his cudgel, exerting a heavy force that locked onto the creature, not allowing it to escape.

BANG!

The brain of that aberration was crushed like a watermelon, splattering in all directions. The stench of the brain fluids permeated the air, and when the fluids touched the ground, black smoke was emitted amidst the sizzling sounds.

The three remaining aberrations howled when they saw one of their comrades dying. They seemed to be even more violent now, not knowing fear at all.

Monsters were monsters after all; they could not even be compared to wild beasts!

Wild beasts would have the instincts to avoid danger, but these aberrations had no sense of danger at all.

Feng Lin coldly laughed. This suited his intention exactly. If not, if these aberrations were to escape, things would truly be troublesome.

He leaped over. His metal cudgel danced around in the air, forming a whirlwind of destruction and crushing everything it came in contact with.

No matter how tough the bodies of the three aberrations were, how could they withstand blows from this metal cudgel that was over ten thousand catties in weight? They were instantly crushed into pieces.

Feng Lin leaned against the metal cudgel, completely uninjured. The metal cudgel then shrank and became a ring around his finger.

All around him, piles of crushed bones and scattered flesh could be seen. A strong acidic smell rose from them.

Feng Lin carefully kept the thumb bones of the four aberrations. These were the items that would gain him points in this second exam. It would be a pity if he lost them.

He felt a little regretful as there were simply too few of these aberrations. After all, they could be considered gifts that delivered themselves to him.

After the four aberrations were killed, the black forest returned to its earlier silence.

Next, after settling everything, he continued on his way, speedily advancing forward.

The environment on the Asura Planet was simply too vile. There were no resources like food and water. It was very tough for people to survive.

If he wanted to persist until ten days later, he had to first settle his biological needs before he could rest his heart at ease and focus on hunting the biochemical monsters.

Under his spirit force scan, he carefully surveyed the surroundings. After his spirit gene was strengthened to 10 points, his scanning range had been expanded to roughly about 10 km. All sorts of microscopic changes within this range wouldn’t be able to escape his perception.

Feng Lin’s sharp senses told him that the water vapor in the southwest direction was more concentrated than normal. At the next instant, he decisively moved toward there.

After some time passed, he traveled roughly about 50 km. Right now, before his eyes, a beautiful lake could be seen. The coolness of the moisture as well as the gentle wind breezing by caused him to feel extremely comfortable. The temperature in the area was also lowered by about 10 degrees due to these factors.

The clarity of the lake’s water allowed one to see fish swimming within. This indicated that the water quality was very good. Food and water could be easily obtained from here.

After spending such a long time under the hot temperature, including his exertions during the vigorous physical activities earlier when he had fought with the aberrations, Feng Lin also felt that his throat was parched. The desire to drink the clean water of the lake rose in his heart.

But all of a sudden, his brows suddenly furrowed. He felt that something was wrong.

Although the surroundings had no enemies, he could sense faint waves of hostility permeating the air. This didn’t match the scene of tranquility at all.

“Who is it? Come on out!” Feng Lin shouted, blasting forth with his fist. The powerful punch force seemed to have penetrated a kind of formless yet sturdy barrier. As the barrier crumbled, eleven figures rushed out. They were clearly forced out of an ambush.

Upon seeing that their illusion was seen through, these people no longer masked their intentions and rapidly crowded over, surrounding Feng Lin!
