Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

“This… this is Mutated Crystal Base…” Only then did everyone realize that the corpse was actually that of a Mutated Crystal Base, and they couldn’t help but marvel.

What surprised them the most was that Xu Tiange even said that when killing this Mutated Crystal Base, Lin Shen contributed the most.

Zheng Yan’s gaze flickered, and although Xu Tiange did not mention Lin Shen getting the Mutated Crystal Base Egg or bring up the matter of Lin Shen’s gun,

he still keenly sensed that something was off. How could Lin Shen, a Steel Mutator, contribute the most? The only explanation was that he owned a powerful pet, one strong enough to kill a Mutated Crystal Base Creature, meaning it must be at least a Crystal Base pet or even a Mutated Crystal Base pet.

Additionally, hearing that the body of the Mutant Sea Demon God General had been claimed by Xu Tiange and Lu Qing led him to ponder further.

Why did Lin Shen contribute the most, yet the body of the Mutant Sea Demon God General was given to Xu Tiange and Lu Qing?

Even though Lin Shen had taken the Base Mutation Fluid and Wei Wufu had taken a trident, these items were worth more than the body.

But Zheng Yan still felt that something was amiss and could only think of one possibility: Lin Shen might have gotten a better reward.

Thinking back to Xu Tiange mentioning earlier how they had hunted a Gold Armored Sea Demon and extracted a Base Mutation Egg, Zheng Yan speculated that Lin Shen might have gotten a Base Mutation Egg from the Mutant Sea Demon God General.

The thought that he had had the chance to get a Mutated Crystal Base Egg but ended up being robbed by the Angel, while Lin Shen had gotten a Mutated Crystal Base Egg and might even safely last until the countdown ended and return home, made Zheng Yan very annoyed.

After exchanging information, most people decided to return to the plains and continue hunting Base Variant Creatures.

Having come to such a magical place, they couldn’t go back empty-handed; even after being robbed, they would hunt some Base Variant Creatures to get materials or Base Mutation Eggs.

With so many mutant creatures here, if luck was on their side, they could get a Mutant Egg—even just a Mutant Steel Egg, all their losses would be recovered, and they would make a fortune.

As for the robber Angel, they weren’t overly worried, as usually, the Angel would rob but not kill; at worst, they would simply get robbed again since they had little left to lose anyway.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen also felt tempted, since the plains were not that dangerous, he too wanted to gain some benefits.

After all, he was in desperate need of money, and now he regretted giving the body of the Mutant Sea Demon God General to Xu Tiange and Lu Qing.

If he had known it wasn’t that dangerous here, he could have just slowly dragged the body to the plains and slept without worries. He could have spent more time dragging the body over.

But then again, if dragging it took too long and something unexpected happened on the way, it would be more loss than gain.

After resting for a while, everyone set off and left the cave together.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu rode on Iron-horned Horses, swaying leisurely at the back of the group.

Before arriving, it was their mounts that were the crappiest, but now that only four people were left with mounts, it seemed their mounts became somewhat conspicuous.

“How come the playboy’s mount is so crappy? With all his money, couldn’t he get a better one?”

“You know nothing. This is called not flaunting wealth; the richer the person, the more low-key they are. Before the playboy made a move, didn’t you also think he was just trash? But then with a single shot, he killed the Mutant Sea Demon God General.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Those who witnessed the situation all thought that Lin Shen was being low-key.

If Lin Shen knew about this, he probably couldn’t help but laugh until his back ached-he, with his money and high-level pets, who would bother riding such a shabby Iron-horned Horse? Those are both slow and horribly uncomfortable.

The other Mutators felt quite bitter, feeling even more resentment towards the person who robbed Angel. If it hadn’t been for the robbery, they wouldn’t have had to walk on two legs.

Regrettably, since the one who robbed Angel was too powerful, they could only curse in their hearts, as nobody dared to actually seek revenge.

The location that Lin Shen and his group were at was initially an entrance to a mountain path leading from the seaside to the plains, not far from the plains now.

Safely reaching the plains, just as they said, there were many alloy creatures there, one could see from afar herds of creatures resembling sheep grazing on metallic grass.

Unfortunately, those ordinary Steel Creatures were of too low value, and the Mutators from both the Xu and Lu Families didn’t even consider them, unless there were mutants among them.

They had wanted to head toward the mountains earlier, aiming to find some high-level Base Variant Creatures. But hearing how dangerous it was near the sea, they dared not proceed.

Because there were too many people, it wasn’t convenient to hunt Base Variant Creatures together, and since this area was relatively safe, they decided to split up for the hunt.

Xu Tiange and Lu Qing were the respective leaders of the Xu Family Team and the Lu Family Team, so naturally, they would go hunting with their own teams.

The problem now was the corpse of the Mutant Sea Demon God General, as it belonged to both Xu Tiange and Lu Qing, it seemed inappropriate for either to take it with them.

“If you trust me, you can leave your stuff here, and I’ll watch over it for you,” Lin Shen said.

“Shen, I of course trust you, no problem,” Xu Tiange immediately stated.

Lu Qing looked at Lin Shen doubtfully and asked, “Aren’t you going to hunt?”

“There isn’t much time left, and it’s pretty hard to find suitable prey around here; I won’t go,” Lin Shen said with a smile.

The plains were safe, but the profit wasn’t too good; one could not even spot an alloy in sight, and the place was just too vast. Lin Shen thought about how much time would be wasted just walking, and without a decent mount to use, he couldn’t be bothered to walk any further.

Rather than wasting time and energy looking for Alloy Creatures, it was better to rest here for a while and avoid potential dangers.

Lu Qing and Xu Tiange had no objections and temporarily left the corpse of the Mutant Sea Demon God General with Lin Shen and Wei Wufu to watch over while both of them went off with their respective teams to find prey.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu sat down under the shade of a large tree, looking at the herds of sheep in the distance, feeling much more relaxed.

Lu Qing and a few Mutators, guided by Zheng Yan, arrived at a spot where the plains met the mountains.

Zheng Yan and his group had been here before and found a type of Alloy Creature, but at the time, they didn’t value it much and didn’t stay long.

Now, these Alloy Creatures were the perfect prey for them, who lacked pets; they couldn’t be picky anymore.

“Lu Qing, you take people to hunt around here, I’ll go check other places to see if there are more suitable Base Variant Creatures for hunting,” Zheng Yan said, then turned and walked towards another direction.

After losing sight of Lu Qing and the others, Zheng Yan veered to one side, heading straight for the valley where he had previously been robbed by Angel.

Not long after entering the valley, he saw a figure of Angel descending from the sky. A flicker of joy passed through Zheng Yan’s eyes.

“You again, what bad luck,” Tian Xin said, glancing at them and recognizing Zheng Yan whom they’d robbed before, feeling somewhat annoyed.

“But since I’m here, how could I return empty-handed? My friend, could you give me some face?” Tian Xin narrowed his eyes and walked over to Zheng Yan.

“Wait, I know someone who not only has a Crystal-based pet but also a Mutated Crystal Base Egg,” Zheng Yan suddenly spoke up.
