Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The creature approached from the ground, and Lin Shen knew it was Ascension Level because it clearly looked extraordinary.

It was practically a mecha-like warrior, constructed entirely of deep blue Crystal Armor, standing three to four meters tall, resembling a humanoid heavy armored tank.

As soon as Lin Shen saw it, he was ready to desperately flee.

He figured the primary reason these Ascended Creatures were after them was probably for the Attribute Fruits in his backpack.

If he threw out the backpack, there was a high chance it would attract the Ascended Creatures to snatch it up, allowing him and Tian Xin to take the opportunity to run away.

Losing possessions is always better than losing one's life, after all.

However, as the humanoid tank-like Ascended Creature approached, Lin Shen temporarily abandoned that idea.

Because he saw the humanoid tank pulling out a weapon from behind, which looked very much like an oversized, unmounted Gatling machine gun.

Lin Shen was worried about not being able to increase his speed, and then suddenly this Ascended Creature appeared. If its weapon could also be considered a gun, then Lin Shen really had nothing to fear.

While Lin Shen was still contemplating, the humanoid tank had already picked up its Gatling, and fired directly at the great hammer Life Base in the sky.

"A Gatling that emits blue light!" Lin Shen was stunned watching it.

The muzzle of the Gatling continuously emitted blue light, with beams shooting up into the sky, relentlessly bombarding the great hammer Life Base above.

After being hit, the hammer itself started showing traces of frost.

As it was hit by the blue light more and more, the frost on the hammer increased, and in a short time, the great hammer Life Base was blasted into fragments, falling from the sky like rain.

The giant gorilla was both shocked and furious, spewing blood from its mouth as its Life Base was destroyed, its aura immediately weakening as it turned to flee.

Unfortunately, before it could escape, the Gatling's firepower had already covered its body, giving it no chance to flee, and in the blink of an eye, the giant gorilla's body was bombarded by the blue light bullets carrying freezing Strength into a pile of frozen chunks.

The gorilla group fled in terror and in no time had run clean away.

Lin Shen watched, eyes wide and mouth agape: "This is too fierce, an Ascension above fifth level, directly blasting away the Life Base, and it even carries freezing power. If hit, there's no chance to run."

The humanoid tank turned the gun barrel and was about to fire again at the stone Life Base in the sky.

The owner of that stone Life Base, clever as it was, disappeared into the Sword Orchid Forest before the blue light could reach it.

Tian Xin also saw that shocking firepower and did not dare to run away. He knew that under such firepower, he would not stand a chance to escape.

No matter how fast he flew, he would not be faster than the humanoid tank's blue light bullets.

Tian Xin descended from the sky and came to Lin Shen's side. They exchanged glances, each seeing the doubt in the other's eyes.

Logically, their target should have been them, but instead, this individual had first killed the giant gorilla and then chased away another Ascended Creature.

So far, the humanoid tank-like creature had not laid a hand on them.

"He's probably here for the Attribute Fruits on us. If he wants them, let's give them to him," Tian Xin said to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen was also hesitant about whether to give the Attribute Fruits from his backpack to it.

Theoretically, he really wasn't afraid of this humanoid tank. No matter how fast it shot or how fierce its firepower, Lin Shen was not afraid, unless it had some other tricks up its sleeve.

While he was deep in thought, the humanoid tank made a gesture towards them – the meaning of the gesture was easy to understand: it seemed to be an invitation for them to follow.

As the humanoid tank turned and walked back the way it had come, it extended a hand, signaling for them to follow.

"What does he mean by this, asking us to follow him?" Tian Xin was slightly startled, then turned to Lin Shen with a complex expression.

"It seems that's the case," Lin Shen nodded.

"Should we go?" Tian Xin asked, frowning.

He didn't want to go, but if they didn't, and that thing fired at them, he couldn't withstand it.

"It looks like we don't have a choice," Lin Shen's eyes swept across the Sword Orchid Forest around them.

Tian Xin also subconsciously looked over and could faintly make out some figures hiding within the Sword Orchid Forest.

"Are they all Ascension Level?" Tian Xin's face looked extremely ugly; he knew it was intentionally made for them to notice, as a warning not to think about running away.

"Probably," Lin Shen sighed.

"Those in intelligence really deserve to die," Tian Xin cursed under his breath.

"Let's go, they are getting impatient." After thinking it over, Lin Shen decided it was better not to turn hostile.

If the other party had such strength and had wanted to kill them, they would have acted already, without all this hassle.

Rather than take risks, it was better to see what the other party really wanted to do.

It was evident that Tian Xin shared the same thought, and both of them followed the humanoid tank.

The humanoid tank led them through the Sword Orchid Forest, and after not too long, they arrived at a natural cave.

The humanoid tank gestured for them to follow once more before entering the cave.

Exchanging a glance, Lin Shen and Tian Xin decided to go in and check out the situation first.

Once inside the cave, they discovered many crystal flowers and plants growing on the cave walls, casting a dreamlike rainbow of colors throughout the cave under the refraction of light.

The humanoid tank led the way, twisting and turning through the cave until they reached a vast underground cavern.

However, this cavern had no stalactites, only colorful crystal vegetation everywhere.

The humanoid tank stopped at one spot, turned to face Lin Shen and Tian Xin, and stood still.

Lin Shen and Tian Xin surveyed their surroundings and were shocked to find a creature of flesh and blood next to the humanoid tank.

The creature's body was entwined with colorful crystal vines, which seemed to serve as an exoskeleton, supporting its body.

What was frightening was that some of the vine branches had actually grown into its flesh.

"Taiger People? What are you doing here?" Tian Xin examined the being's tiger-like head and spoke.

He was quite astonished in his heart, not expecting the humanoid tank to be a pet of a Taiger person. When had such a figure entered Giant Ring Star without Tian Xun receiving any news?

Lin Shen was equally perplexed in his heart. Although he didn't recognize what race the person belonged to, it seemed that no race should be present here.

It was normal for the Pioneer Corps to consist of various races, including some Taiger Clan people.

But this Taiger person clearly hadn't just appeared here recently; those vines on his body couldn't have grown that way overnight.

Even more mysterious, the humanoid tank-like Ascended Creature was not a real pet but a wild Ascended Creature. How could it be obeying the commands of this Taiger person?
