Supreme Gene Master - Chapter 29

“Has the excavation of the caverns been completed?”

The master-disciple duo was somewhat surprised when they received the genetic origin energy.

The two excavation teams had only been here for a few days, and they had already completed the extraction of the genetic origin energy?

He Shengliang shook his head. “Not really. What you guys are looking at now is only the first batch of harvests. Because there might be powerful dimensional beasts hidden in the depths, the two families have only started the preliminary excavations and only collected the resources from the periphery.”

Han Ning nodded.

That made sense.

After all, even though the two families had dispatched quite a number of people this time around, they wouldn’t be able to finish mining the entire cavern in just a few days.

He Shengliang seemed to be in a hurry. When he saw that there were no more questions from the two of them, he quickly said, “I’m sure the two of you know how to use the genetic origin energy better than I do. Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

With that, He Shengliang turned around and walked out of the door.

Right now, only the outer regions of the caverns were excavated. What followed next was the main focus of the excavation. It was also the most dangerous and busy period.

As the leader of the Sun family, he had many things to arrange.

Looking at the genetic origin energy in his hand, Han Ning asked, “Professor, how do we use this thing?”

Previously, Bai Yu had only introduced the nature and composition of the genetic origin energy to him and had not taught him how to use it.

Bai Yu smiled. “Simple, just eat it.”

“Just… just eat it?”

Han Ning was in disbelief.

On the surface, genetic origin energy looked more like crystals or diamonds. Could this thing be eaten?

Bai Yu looked at him. “Why? You don’t believe me?”

“Genetic origin energy is essentially a combination of energy. Similar to the absorption of origin power and genes, it can be orally absorbed directly.”

Seeing that Han Ning was still skeptical, Bai Yu opened the small bag in his hand and swallowed the crystals.

“How is it? Do you believe me now?”

“I believe you…”

Han Ning looked at Bai Yu’s actions helplessly.

To use these crystals of genetic origin energy was to eat them!

This caught him off guard.

However, since Bai Yu had already demonstrated, Han Ning was no longer worried.

Han Ning opened the bag containing the genetic origin energy crystals and poured them into his mouth.

Soon, Han Ning felt the crystals melting in his mouth as if he was eating candy.

Of course, the genetic origin energy crystal was colorless and tasteless. It didn’t have the sweet and sour taste of candy.

Before long, the crystals in his mouth were completely melted.

At this moment, Bai Yu had also finished swallowing the crystals and reminded him, “This energy will quickly fuse into the genes in your body and permanently strengthen the various attributes of your body. However, you have to remember that you can’t absorb too much genetic origin energy at once or your body won’t be able to withstand the excess energy.”

“Got it!”

Han Ning nodded. After bidding farewell to Bai Yu, he returned to his residence.

After consuming the genetic origin energy, it did not immediately take effect. Instead, there was a certain delay.

After sitting on the chair for a while, Han Ning gradually felt that the countless cells in his body were starting to become active, as if they couldn’t wait to break through some kind of restraint.

This feeling made Han Ning a little restless, but it wasn’t very strong.

After half an hour, the faint restlessness disappeared. Han Ning experienced his own body and couldn’t help but be in doubt.

The changes don’t seem very obvious?

After waiting for a while longer, Han Ning confirmed that the absorption of the genetic origin energy had ended.

In regards to this, he could only assume that he had absorbed too little origin energy and that didn’t bring any significant changes to his body.

While Han Ning was absorbing the genetic origin energy, the two teams had already reached the depths of the caverns, which was also the abandoned nest area that Han Ning and the others had arrived at.

The genetic origin energy in the periphery had already been completely extracted. If they continued forward, they would reach the place where Han Ning and the others had encountered the dimensional beasts.

However, Sun-Qin’s goal was to obtain a large amount of resources from the depths, so they naturally wouldn’t stop here.

The group continued forward and soon discovered the intact nests of the Longevity Worms, as well as a large number of genetic origin energy crystals.

An Bixin and He Shengliang walked in the middle of the team. The two of them were still leading this mining mission.

After arriving here again, the two of them discussed for a moment before issuing their order. “All excavators, listen up. Assign a hundred people to capture the larvae and eggs of the Longevity Worm. The rest of you will begin to excavate the origin energy crystal!”

“There will be dimensional beasts appearing here. Combatants are to spread out and patrol in groups of five. Prepare for battle any time!”

The two of them gave their orders, and the teams of nearly a thousand people began to move.

The workers were responsible for extracting resources, while the soldiers were responsible for guarding and supervising.

However, just as everyone was preparing to go all out, the Broken Unicorns’ roars suddenly came from the depths.

Other than that, there were also some rustling sounds.

He Shengliang and An Bixin knew that the dimensional beasts were about to attack.

Thus, the two of them immediately shouted, “All combatants, gather together. We must stop the dimensional beasts at the periphery!”

“Understood!”

The two armies quickly arranged a battle formation. At the same time, groups of Broken Unicorns also swarmed over from the depths!

In the blink of an eye, the dimensional beasts and the human armies clashed.

The roars of beasts and humans immediately resounded through the cave. As soon as the battle began, scarlet blood dyed the rocks and walls red.

Although the two families had sent more combatants this time, the degree of elites was obviously not as good as the previous joint operation team.

In a situation where individual strength was insufficient, the moment those soldiers came into contact with the beasts, there were casualties.

However, it wasn’t any better for the dimensional beasts as well.

Compared to the few hundred soldiers, their numbers were actually at a disadvantage. As a result, the dimensional beasts were actually at a disadvantage.

However, before An Bixin and He Shengliang could relax, another group of dimensional beasts appeared from the depths of the cave!

These dimensional beasts had bloated bodies that were round like worms. Their bodies were covered in pale, mottled patterns, and their bodies were roughly three meters long. They were squirming rapidly towards the crowd.

An Bixin was pleasantly surprised.

“These… These are all adult Longevity Worms!”

Previously, when they arrived, they were all wondering where the adult Longevity Worms went.

Now it seemed that these fellows had been hiding in the depths all along. As soon as the larvae in the nest were threatened, they would appear and chase off the intruders.

He Shengliang was also quite surprised, but he quickly reacted.

Adult Longevity Worms, this was simply a group of moving vitality genes!

Therefore, he immediately got someone to lure these worms to a separate place so that they could quickly transport the corpses out after killing them.

But before he could give the order, a cry suddenly rang out from the depths of the caverns.

Squeak squeak!

The cries were sharp and ear-piercing. Those who were affected immediately felt weak all over.

Immediately after, the entire underground cavern began to tremor slightly, and some small gravel began to fall off!
