Chapter 141: Another Advancement in Rank, a Rank 7 Mutant Beast!
Chapter 141: Another Advancement in Rank, a Seventh-Rank Mutant Beast! (Please continue reading!)
After seeing off the women who had excitedly gone to dance practice, Lu Zheng took out the crystal core he had obtained and began to absorb it rapidly.
Before long, the energy accumulated to the level of 50,000 third-order crystal cores.
His superpower has advanced, reaching the seventh rank.
The minimum spatial barrier spacing has been reduced to only one ten-thousandth of a millimeter, or one-hundredth of a micrometer, or ten nanometers.
Nanoscale corner radius, incredibly sharp.
Most atoms and cells can be easily cut.
It can even cut metal.
In addition, the spatial barrier is unshakeable, so even if a sixth or seventh-level monster tries to rush towards him, it will be cut into pieces!
The energy limit has reached one million units.
The maximum volume has been increased to one hundred cubic meters.
This is absolutely a qualitative leap.
The maximum area that the spatial barrier can instantly expand to is 10 billion square meters, or 10,000 square kilometers.
Give him a day, and he might be able to cover the entire planet.
Creating a spatial barrier of the same area requires less energy.
His increased strength gave him more confidence to face any adverse changes that might follow.
But now a problem has arisen.
Advancing to the seventh rank requires such a large quantity of crystal cores; who knows when it will be possible to advance to the eighth rank?
If we want to increase our strength in a short period of time, we should focus on other aspects.
For example, the training of mutated beasts.
The Substitute Soul Lamp requires that the 'wick' be of a certain rank, at most one rank lower than the user's own.
He doesn't have a suitable goal right now.
Therefore, we need to focus on training a few of them.
If one dies, there are always replacements.
He naturally preferred to pick up what was readily available; if he was only at the sixth rank, then the fifth-rank Blade Mantis would be quite good.
But these insects don't seem to have any growth potential, so choosing them now would be pointless.
The larger the organism, the higher its evolutionary starting point and the faster its evolutionary speed.
Lu Zheng turned his gaze to the sea.
After a moment's thought, he contacted Qiu Keqin through his mental domain.
"Mr. Lu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Qiu Keqin appeared very eager.
After all, if this favor is big enough, it might even get Lu Zheng to build a second aerial safety zone for the Pearl Base.
Even if that's not possible, giving the Pearl Base some more teleportation scrolls and other supplies would be a good thing.
"There is one thing."
"I want to know where you've seen any huge mutated sea monsters in the ocean recently."
"If there are any mutated beasts of the fifth rank or higher on land, please let me know as well."
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's request, Qiu Keqin subconsciously asked:
"Mr. Lu wants to hunt down the crystal cores of high-level mutated beasts?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said:
"No, next I will focus on eliminating some insects and night demons to cultivate mutated beasts."
"Humans are small and can only handle a limited number of insects at a time. I plan to train some powerful mutant beasts as henchmen." "The ocean is also an important source of crystal cores. I remember Chief of Staff Wang showed me a satellite image before, which showed a kind of octopus-like insect in the ocean."
"It's just that those insects haven't landed yet, so we haven't taken any action against them for the time being."
"But with countless insects scattered throughout the ocean, some powerful sea creatures will eventually evolve, and their crystal cores are indeed a precious resource."
Although Qiu Keqin did not understand Lu Zheng's true intentions, eliminating the insects in the ocean was definitely a good thing to do in advance.
The authorities couldn't spare the resources to do this, so Lu Zheng's initiative to take on this important task will make the other chiefs very happy.
"Okay, no problem, I'll have someone mark up the specific information and send it to you right away!"
Before long, Lu Zheng got the information he wanted.
They discovered that there were indeed many powerful mutants in the sea; those creatures were originally the overlords of the sea.
The worms, named 'octopus worms,' crawled out of the sea pit, which meant plenty of extra food for everyone.
After consuming these insects and absorbing their crystal nuclei, the insects naturally mutated.
Lu Zheng also needs to rely on the manpower and resources of several major bases to help him acquire enough crystal cores for advancement. Those behemoths can devour tens of thousands of crystal cores in one bite.
The speed of evolution is naturally extremely fast.
More than ten sea monsters were officially classified as Tier 6, with one of them being classified as possibly Tier 7.
After a moment's thought, Lu Zheng took Shi Xueqi with him and then used a teleportation talisman to instantly teleport to the location of the suspected seventh-tier mutated beast.
Before long, they arrived over the sea.
He took something out.
A peach.
Three of these mutated peach trees were discovered throughout the entire Yanxia war zone. Apart from the first one, which Lu Zheng helped to resolve, the remaining two were simply isolated and untouched because no one was around them.
After all, the mutated peach tree attracts mutated beasts and insects, causing them to fight, which is good for eliminating the swarm of insects and mutated beasts.
As long as the authorities ensure that nothing goes out after entering, preventing the mutated peach trees from spreading, that's fine.
This mutated peach is extremely attractive to almost all mutated beasts and insects. After Lu Zheng took it out, a large number of mutated fish and octopus worms appeared in the water below within minutes.
The number quickly exceeded 10,000 and is moving toward the 100,000 mark.
Such a large number of insects and mutated fish would be a delicious meal for the massive ocean predators.
These things are all fish bait.
They were fishing for sea monsters that might reach the seventh rank underwater.
Beneath the surface of the sea, a deep shadow began to writhe and expand.
The first thing to break through the water was several segmented limbs as thick as the trunks of ancient giant sequoias!
They were covered with thick, angular, dark blue armor, each piece of armor having edges as sharp as the ramming horn of a warship.
Immediately afterwards, a sound wave, suppressed to the extreme yet containing endless violence, pierced through the seawater and exploded like a muffled thunder!
With that soul-shaking growl, its massive main body finally revealed its ferocious form—a colossal torso whose outline blended the streamlined shape of an orca with the bizarre structure of a deep-sea octopus.
Its body surface is not smooth skin, but covered with a thick, dark, hardened epidermis similar to the chitin of crustaceans.
On its terrifying head, two enormous eyeballs, like those polished from abyssal black jade, were embedded on either side, their pupils gleaming with a cold, hungry light, yet also with a hint of madness provoked by the bait.
Behind its enormous head, along its spine, several massive tentacles, as thick as mountain ranges, burst forth from the water.
The beast was enormous; according to Lu Zheng's perception, it was over 180 meters long.
The prototype was supposed to be an orca, but somehow it gained the legs of a crab and the tentacles of an octopus.
It looks extremely strange overall.
But it was indeed a mutated beast, not a monster that emerged from the pit.
Lu Zheng sensed its energy level: seventh rank!
