Godly Evolution: I Can Fuse with the Genes of Every Living Creature - Chapter 28
Tifa was so frightened that her hair stood on end. Subconsciously, she opened her fingers, and a colorful bow appeared in her hand. At the same time, she used her water ability to form a barrier around her body.
The blue radiance was so dazzling at that moment.
In an instant, there were no sound at all.
At that moment, Tifa’s eyes widened.
She only realized that she was surrounded by all kinds of mutated creatures, fighting for food on the pile of Molten Cow corpses not far away.
However, they all stopped and looked at Tifa at the same time.
The next second, they all hissed together and let out terrifying howls at her.
All kinds of mutated creatures appeared one after another, forming a terrifying wave.
Tifa suddenly regretted not listening to Emerson and moving to another place to rest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The light from the Elemental Arrows continued to appear. Every time she shot, a mutated creature would die.
However, it was nothing to the countless mutated creatures that were rushing toward her.
Upon seeing the mutated creatures approaching her, Tifa forced herself to calm down. She raised her trembling hand and patted the bow.
Instantly, the bow that was originally emitting a blue light gradually turned into a frost bow, which then emitted waves of white steam.
Then, she pointed the bow in the direction of the mutated creatures and shot at them!
The arrow that was imbued with frost element passed through the fog, leaving a long trail before finally exploding above them.
Bang!
The water vapor mixed within the mist became the best conductor for the frost arrow. Countless ice crystals attached themselves to the bodies of the mutated creatures, greatly slowing them down.
There were even many mutated creatures that were completely bound by the effect as they were unable to move.
However, there were more mutated creatures approaching here.
There were even more that were on their way.
The blue barrier on her body became the brightest lighthouse in the night.
Tifa quickly grabbed the rope tied to the tree, but she suddenly realized that it had broken at some point.
“Emerson Cole!”
She shouted.
There was no way she could kill all these mutated creatures herself.
She could only rely on Emerson.
However, there was no response from Emerson in the darkness.
She could only hear mutated creatures hissing and howling at her.
What should she do?
For a moment, a faint sense of despair appeared in her heart.
Unity was strength. These mutated creatures were far stronger than her, and she was not that powerful too.
Suddenly, a flame lit up and spread rapidly.
On closer look, it seemed that someone was stepping on the flame and moving forward, separating the terrifying mutated creatures.
Soon, the whole place was on fire.
The fire were destroying the forest, but the dense fog still existed, without any signs of fading away.
The intense stimulation caused the mutated creatures to move chaotically, and they began to run around.
Tifa was no longer the only lighthouse in the dark.
“Let’s go.”
A voice suddenly sounded beside her. Tifa looked over in surprise. As expected, Emerson had appeared beside her.
However, she looked around and could not help but hesitate again.
In front of them were a large number of mutated creatures that had been frozen and slowed down by her. Flames were everywhere as well. They did not where to run.
“This… I can’t walk anymore…”
Emerson did not say a word. He picked her up and carried her on his shoulders. At the same time, he used his spatial ability to quickly leave that place.
More powerful mutated creatures that were attracted by the flames. They had to immediately get out of there.
He ran for more than half a night.
Emerson did not know how long he had run. He stopped when his surroundings became brighter.
Emerson put Tifa down and panted heavily. It was obvious that he had used up a lot of his stamina along the way.
As for Tifa, she had fainted.
Emerson casually checked her condition.
Perhaps it was because he had moved too fast, or perhaps her body could not withstand the pressure of his spatial ability, causing her to faint for a moment.
Fortunately, Tifa was not injured. There was not much of a problem.
“The physique of an elemental genetic warrior is still too weak.”
Emerson shook his head. He took out the leftovers from his spatial bag and started chewing.
A series of notifications rang in his mind.
When Emerson was 80% full, he finally broke through.
[Name: Emerson Cole
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 182
Strength Gene: 301
Agility Gene: 277
Physical Gene: 325
Elemental Gene: 0
Skills: Elementary Spatial Manipulation. Elementary Flame Control. Flame Stomp.]
…
2 of his genetic attributes had already broken through to tier 7. Once his Agility Gene caught up, he could be considered an all-rounded tier 7 genetic warrior.
However, his Elemental Gene was still at 0 point.
This also caused Emerson’s elemental power to deal average damage to his enemies.
This could be seen from his previous battle with the genetic warriors that wanted to rob him at the auction house.
Although he could control the flames, even he did not deal heavy amount of damage to tier 8 genetic warriors.
It was far from what he had expected.
“If I can obtain a soul pill, I might be able to become stronger.”
Emerson suddenly turned to look at Tifa.
“Stop pretending, I know you’re awake.”
Tifa blinked and sat up. Her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment.
She felt a little guilty.
Tifa had said that Emerson was a coward, but it turned out that he was right.
In the dark forest, danger lurked everywhere. You could never know what would happen next.
All of this could only be judged by experience.
If she were to explore the dark forest by herself…
She might not even be able to stay alive at the outer region?
Tifa suddenly felt that she had such a powerful power but was unable to use it. In other words, she did not know how to use it.
“Why did you want to come to the dark forest?”
Emerson suddenly asked.
Tifa was stunned. This seemed to be the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to her under normal circumstances.
She thought for a moment and said, “I want to see some mutated creatures that I’ve never seen before. I’ve always been quite curious.”
“Have you seen it now?”
“It’s indeed very scary!”
“Let’s go back?”
“No!”
Tifa shook her head. “I must go to the deepest part of the dark forest and explore the secrets there!”
What an ambitious lady. Even Grandpa Elrond did not dare to say such words.
Emerson stood up and looked at her calmly.
“Then you have to listen to me.”
