What is a city’s true native?
Naturally, it’s the rats that struggle to survive in the sewers.
Flipping open the research notes.
The words recorded on the first page made Lu Zixun involuntarily furrow his brows.
What inevitable connection is there between rats and transformed mutant beasts?
Having read the research notes with his paws, Lu Zixun’s face gradually darkened.
The abnormal creatures actually wanted to develop a liquid that could turn rats into mutant beasts, to be poured into the sewers.
At that time, facing such an immense number of mutant beasts, even someone as strong as Long Jiuri would have to retreat by a wide margin, abandoning Lingchuan City altogether.
These are no longer things that the abnormal creatures could come up with on their own, they are strategies plotted by the Alien Race.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Zixun’s gaze was filled with doubt, truly not understanding what exactly the Alien Race wanted.
The reason why they chose to start with stray cats was also recorded in the research notes that Lu Zixun saw.
Originally, they thought of using rats for experiments, but with Lu Zixun appearing in STO as a spirit beast, it gave the researchers inspiration.
If it were possible to create a mutant beast with the same strength as Lu Zixun.
Could it be disguised as a spirit beast and infiltrate the inside of STO?
Throwing the research notes into the talisman, Lu Zixun squatted on the metal platform, waiting for Xiong Kang’s arrival, with his mind racing.
The situation in Lingchuan City was hanging by a thread.
It can be said that abnormal creatures were infiltrating Lingchuan City every day, it looks like he needed to speed up his own agenda.
Originally wanting to slack off, Lu Zixun let out a small sigh, saying it’s so exhausting being a cat.
At this moment, the elevator door that had brought Lu Zixun to the underground laboratory slowly opened.
Thinking it was Xiong Kang who had arrived, Lu Zixun jumped down from the metal platform and walked towards the elevator door.
As the elevator door opened slowly, a Blood Sword flew towards Lu Zixun.
"Ding—Killing Intent Value from Ye Xun detected: +8000."
Seeing Ye Xun standing in the elevator, with a cruel smile hanging on his lips, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but curse.
Wasn’t this guy killed in District Q of Chunhua City?
How is he alive again?
With blood-colored wings unfolding behind him, Ye Xun turned into a fading shadow, swiftly approaching Lu Zixun.
The speed was so fast that Lu Zixun failed to react, and Ye Xun kicked him away.
A faint pain emanated from his chest, and Lu Zixun drew in a cold breath, wondering if this was the capability of a Half-step King-level.
Lifting a paw to pat the chip on his chest, nano armor instantly covered his entire body as he got up and looked at Ye Xun.
Doubt flickered in Lu Zixun’s eyes, "How did you survive?"
With a cold laugh, blood-colored longswords appeared in Ye Xun’s hands, viciously slashing at Lu Zixun.
Summoning a nano longsword, he tried to block the blood-colored longsword.
But Lu Zixun forgot that Ye Xun’s longsword was made of blood, an energy body.
As the blood diverged, the nano longsword passed through, and a smirk of successful scheming appeared in Ye Xun’s eyes.
The Blood Sword sliced fiercely onto Lu Zixun.
The nano armor only managed to block it for a moment, and the Blood Sword left a long cut on Lu Zixun’s body.
The sensation of stinging pain kept coming.
Lu Zixun didn’t even blink as he summoned Spiritual Fire to cauterize the wound, effectively stopping the bleeding.
Ye Xun couldn’t help but admire Lu Zixun’s decisive and ruthless approach.
But this didn’t mean Ye Xun would show any mercy to Lu Zixun.
Ye Xun threw the Blood Sword in his left hand straight at Lu Zixun and, turning into a blur, attacked Lu Zixun from the side.
Lu Zixun, cornered, let out a cold laugh and activated Flash’s speed to slip through the gap between attacks.
He leaped up and initiated Magnetic Field Control, hovering in mid-air with his Ice and Fire Superpower swirling around his body.
In an instant, a tremendous surge of Spiritual Energy echoed within the cramped space.
Ice cones fused with Spiritual Fire rained down on Ye Xun like a violent storm.
Ye Xun raised an eyebrow, ready to dodge, but stumbled as his form wavered, nearly falling to the ground when Lu Zixun flipped the magnetic field.
Having lost the chance to escape, Ye Xun saw the approaching ice cones and knew he could not run. He lifted the Blood Sword, readying himself to counterattack.
A Frost Fire Spear, gleaming with cold light under the illumination, pierced through his chest.
"Ding—Detected an Incredible Color from Ye Xun +8000."
Lu Zixun, nudging the Frost Fire Spear with his paw, looked up to see the shock in Ye Xun’s eyes, cracked a smile, revealing his little fangs, "Boom!"
The spearhead that penetrated Ye Xun’s chest erupted with Spiritual Fire inside his body.
The contrasting auras of ice and fire made Ye Xun emit a painful scream from his mouth.
A blood-colored mist exploded. Lu Zixun, who had long anticipated Ye Xun’s escape techniques, naturally wouldn’t let him flee.
Lu Zixun uttered these two words indifferently, and the blood-colored mist, composed of blood, was frozen into ice.
Ye Xun’s figure was encased within.
"Ding—Detected a regret value from Ye Xun +8000."
Lu Zixun raised his paw pad and tapped the red ice block.
Landing heavily on the ground, Lu Zixun sat down and mockingly said to Ye Xun inside the ice block, "Trash, just a Half-step King-level, and you forget your own name, huh?"
He raised his paw and patted the chip, only to find the nano armor really was damaged, which made Lu Zixun’s heart ache.
At that moment, the wound Ye Xun’s Blood Sword had earlier inflicted began to burn again.
The area previously cauterized by Spiritual Fire was sliced open once more, and Lu Zixun silently channeled the Undying Power.
With the powerful regenerative boost from the Undying Power, the blood of the abnormal creatures that had invaded Lu Zixun’s body was expelled, and the wound began to scab over.
This was already quite a feat.
But upon seeing the scabbing wound, Lu Zixun almost burst into tears; he was in for it now, Lin Siyin would definitely drag him by the ear and lecture him for ages.
After searching for a while, Xiong Kang, who had taken some time to arrive at the location, finally appeared in Lu Zixun’s sight.
Looking at the laboratory encased in ice, and the red ice block in the center, Xiong Kang was momentarily baffled. What on earth had happened here?
"Ding—Detected a doubt value from Xiong Kang +7000."
It seemed not only was his own strength increasing, but Xiong Kang’s was progressing as well.
Lu Zixun silently nodded and climbed to a spot where Xiong Kang could see him, then waved his hand at him.
"What happened here?"
Xiong Kang immediately noticed the wounds on Lu Zixun’s body and quickly walked over, taking out Repair Liquid, wanting to inject Lu Zixun right away.
Lu Zixun quickly extended his paw to swat Xiong Kang’s hand away and took out the research notes from the talisman, tossing them to Xiong Kang.
"I was planning to visit the Gongsun Family, but I didn’t expect to run into this mess. I almost capsized in a gutter."
After casually flipping through the notes,
Xiong Kang put the notes away and looked at Lu Zixun with furrowed brows: "The Gongsun Family... They almost got wiped out today."
