Evolution, Encountering Kobolds Again

Lu Yuan's mind stirred, and the Evolution Cube, which had been rotating around the gene chain, suddenly flashed with a faint blue light.

The faint blue light shone on the gene chain, and the originally stable gene chain underwent another tremendous change.

This change was even more intense than when it was inscribed just now.

Lu Yuan's muscles, bones, organs, and everything else in his body seemed to be torn apart and reforged.

Accompanying this was a sharp pain, and Lu Yuan's brain went blank due to the pain.

Evolution began.

Time passed, and after an unknown period, just as Lu Yuan could barely endure the soul-deep pain, the faint blue light slowly dissipated, and the pain gradually disappeared.

The faint blue light that had been flashing on the Evolution Cube also dimmed a lot, and the cube looked somewhat transparent.

It originally stored energy for evolution. There was some before, but now most of it had been used up.

As for how to recharge it, it could be recharged with Spirit Crystals.

As the pain gradually dissipated, a powerful force surged from the depths of Lu Yuan's body.

The same comfortable feeling as the previous gene sublimation also appeared.

Evolution complete.

No biological will appeared.

After all, the biological will of this Extraordinary Gene had already been eliminated by Lu Yuan.

This was another very good piece of news for Lu Yuan.

In the future, when inscribing genes, he could completely choose the quality that he could guarantee to inscribe completely, and then evolve it. There would be no danger at all.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a smile.

Wonderful!

The sublimation sensation lasted for a while before finally dissipating. Instinct told Lu Yuan what the Extraordinary Gene after evolution was.

Black Iron Body.

It mainly enhances the body's defense and strength, and can also slightly improve the body's agility and explosive power.

Compared to the ordinary quality Petrification Skin, Black Iron Body improves in a more comprehensive direction, and also improves agility.

Not only that, but the increase in all aspects is almost doubled compared to before!

This is a doubling after the Beetle Claw is blessed!

It is conceivable how much stronger the Elite Quality Extraordinary Gene is than the ordinary quality.

Even Elite Quality is so strong, how terrifying will the boss gene, leader gene, lord gene, and even the Extraordinary Gene after the king be?

Lu Yuan felt a little expectant just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, the energy in the Evolution Cube is difficult to evolve the current Extraordinary Gene again.

And even if he wanted to evolve, his current physical strength could not evolve, he couldn't withstand it.

To evolve again, he estimated that he would have to temper his gene chain to a certain extent and improve it before he could evolve.

However, he was already very strong now.

With an Elite Quality Gene, plus an Elite Quality Armament, he could almost walk sideways in a newbie area like Graystone Forest!

Lu Yuan felt that he could now take on a Black-Striped Graystone Beetle alone without any problems.

Thinking of the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle, Lu Yuan remembered the two from before.

He wondered how they were doing now, should he go and say hello?

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and decided it was a good idea, so he left the shelter and returned the way he came.

If it had been before, Lu Yuan would have had to be careful when walking on top of the Gobi Desert.

But after a huge increase in strength, the strong wind on top of the Gobi Desert felt like a breeze to Lu Yuan, and he could easily walk or even run on it.

The wind and sand that had stung Lu Yuan's skin before now felt like gentle little hands massaging his face.

This made Lu Yuan feel a little complicated.

Although I have become stronger, my skin seems to have become thicker.

Lu Yuan quickened his pace and ran towards the previous area.

Before long, he returned to the U-shaped Gobi Desert area.

As soon as he got close, Lu Yuan felt a residual warmth.

This was the high temperature left after the previous wall of fire had been extinguished.

Lu Yuan looked down and then froze.

Because on the ground, the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles were already dead, and their bodies had been processed, with their valuable carapaces taken away.

Obviously, they had encountered an opponent before.

He had originally planned to deal with the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles himself, but he didn't expect someone to get there first.

It was probably a Gene Warrior who had been attracted by the flames earlier.

Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, he ran fast earlier. Gene Warriors were different from Black-Striped Graystone Beetles; they had higher intelligence.

With the intelligence of a Gene Warrior, they should be able to discover that there was a problem with the Gobi Desert. If Lu Yuan had stayed here before, he might have been discovered.

Since the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles were already dead, Lu Yuan naturally didn't plan to stay any longer.

He climbed down from the Gobi Desert. When he passed the corpses of the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, he took a few more glances, and then casually found a passage to leave.

Before long, Lu Yuan encountered two Graystone Beetles gnawing on rocks below a stone pillar.

His eyes lit up.

Let's test my current strength.

The Beetle Claw longsword appeared in Lu Yuan's hand, and he walked towards the two Graystone Beetles.

As he approached the Graystone Beetles by about twenty meters, both Graystone Beetles paused simultaneously, turning their heads to look at Lu Yuan.

Then, they squealed and charged towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at their ferocious mouthparts, no longer as nervous as when he first encountered the Graystone Beetles.

As the Graystone Beetles approached, he swung the longsword in his hand, the dark sword light flashing across the Graystone Beetles.

Their charging movements came to an abrupt halt, their bodies sliding past Lu Yuan, collapsing behind him, their short legs twitching incessantly, life fading away.

Death.

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth lifted, revealing a delighted smile.

As expected of me!

Originally, two Graystone Beetles could have caused him some trouble, but he didn't expect that in such a short time, he could so easily kill two Graystone Beetles.

Lu Yuan picked up the Spirit Crystals, removed the Graystone Carapace, and then left the spot, continuing his hunt.

Two hours later, in an area of the Graystone Forest.

Chi!!

Lu Yuan killed a lone Graystone Beetle with a single sword strike, exhaling slightly, and stepped forward to pick up the Spirit Crystal.

Just then, Lu Yuan heard footsteps.

His body paused, and he looked up towards the passage where the footsteps were coming from.

The footsteps grew closer, and two Kobolds wearing black leather armor and holding long sabers walked out.

One of the two Kobolds had gray fur all over, and the other had brown fur all over.

They looked somewhat familiar.

The two Kobolds were also stunned when they saw Lu Yuan.

The two sides looked at each other, and then simultaneously revealed brilliant smiles.

The brown-furred Kobold's face was twisted, laughing wildly:

"Hahahaha! Human, didn't expect it! We meet again! Let's see how you run this time!"

Lu Yuan also smiled:

"I was wondering if I could run into you guys, didn't expect such good luck."

"Good luck to run into us? Looks like the Gene Armament you obtained gave you confidence? Your confidence is worthless!"

The gray-furred Kobold glanced at the Beetle Claw longsword in Lu Yuan's hand, sneered, and approached Lu Yuan, holding his long saber.

The brown-furred Kobold also approached with the gray-furred Kobold:

"Don't you know that we both have Gene Armaments too! But we still have to thank you for bringing us extra gains."

Just as the two Kobolds approached Lu Yuan, someone passing by in the passage not far away noticed this scene.

It was the handsome elf quartet.

They were all stunned when they saw Lu Yuan and the two Kobolds facing off against each other.

"Huh? Isn't this the little guy who was chased by the Graystone Beetle swarm before? And his two Kobold companions?"

The tall, thin elf was taken aback, somewhat puzzled:

"What are they doing? Are they going to fight?"

The handsome elf glanced over and then said, "Probably infighting."

The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a hint of a smile:

"Don't go over there yet, let's hide and wait for them to decide the winner."

Hearing the handsome elf's words, the other three immediately understood.

"Listen to the boss!"

"Hehehe... I didn't expect to encounter an unexpected gain, not bad, not bad."

"Business has been bad for scamming newbies lately, opportunities like this are rare."

The four people secretly hid behind a stone pillar in the distance, watching Lu Yuan and the two Kobolds.

The two Kobolds had already launched a charge towards Lu Yuan.

Seeing Lu Yuan standing still, the brown-furred Kobold grinned:

"Human, it seems you know you can't escape, and you plan to let us kill you?! Don't worry, your grandpa's movements will be quick!"

As he spoke, he had already rushed in front of Lu Yuan, raised his long knife high, and slashed down at Lu Yuan with extreme speed.

If it were before, it would naturally be difficult for Lu Yuan to avoid such an attack.

But after engraving the Extraordinary Gene, all aspects have been improved.

Naturally, this also includes dynamic vision.

Lu Yuan raised his hand slightly.

Clang!

The Beetle Claw longsword easily blocked the long knife, making a metallic sound.

And Lu Yuan's hand didn't move at all.

The brown-furred Kobold felt the force of the counter-shock coming from his hand, and his hands were slightly numb.

He widened his eyes, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief:

"Blocked it?! How is that possible?!"

"What's impossible?" Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

The gray-furred Kobold, who was slightly behind the brown-furred Kobold, also narrowed his pupils, somewhat shocked.

Then, he revealed a ferocious expression.

"Can you block one, can you block two?"

He suddenly burst forth with speed, slashing his blade horizontally towards Lu Yuan's waist.

Lu Yuan smiled, exerting force with his right hand. The brown-furred Kobold felt a tremendous force transmitted, his body involuntarily retreating.

After Lu Yuan shook off the brown-furred Kobold, he twisted his wrist, using his longsword to block downwards.

Clang!

The Beetle Claw longsword steadily blocked the gray-furred Kobold's attack.

"This speed!"

Seeing Lu Yuan's movements, the gray-furred Kobold's fur stood on end. The strength Lu Yuan displayed far exceeded his expectations.

The gray-furred Kobold immediately had thoughts of retreat. They were no match!

Just then, Lu Yuan's longsword vibrated again, pushing the gray-furred Kobold back a step, a dark sword light streaking across the gray-furred Kobold's neck.

Fresh blood spurted out, the light in the gray-furred Kobold's eyes slowly dissipating, his corpse swaying before collapsing to the ground.

The brown-furred Kobold was just about to step forward to help, but stopped in his tracks upon seeing the gray-furred Kobold fall.

"Big Brother?!"

He stared fixedly at Lu Yuan, his eyes filled with shock:

"How is this possible?! Just now you were being chased by us, in such a short time, how could you have become so much stronger?!"

Lu Yuan looked at the brown-furred Kobold whose fur was standing on end, a friendly smile appearing on his face as he approached step by step:

"Take a guess."
