Battle Power of 5 Trash

"A watch?" Lin Shen was a little surprised.

He had thought that whatever Qi Guan had held onto so tightly even in death would be something precious. He hadn't expected it to be a watch, and seemingly an inexpensive electronic one at that.

The strap, case, and dial were all black, with only white numbers displayed on the dial.

Could it be that this watch held special commemorative significance for Qi Guan? If I have the chance, I could help him take it back and return it to his family. Lin Shen picked up the watch and looked at it, noticing that the time displayed seemed off.

"00:00:07. Is this watch broken?" Lin Shen looked up at the sky. It wasn't dark yet, so how could it be midnight?

As Lin Shen observed, the time on the watch continued to count down.

6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0...

Soon, the time on the watch reset to zero, and a voice suddenly came from inside the watch: "Confirming user death... Discovering new user... Binding successful... Teleportation countdown beginning 10... 9... 8..."

The time on the watch changed to 00:00:10 and began decreasing by the second.

"What the hell!" Lin Shen quickly threw the watch away.

The watch, lying on the ground, continued to count down. Lin Shen instinctively retreated, moving away from the watch.

But the moment the watch's countdown reached zero, Lin Shen felt the scenery before his eyes suddenly twist.

The sky, mountains, trees, flowers, and ground all twisted together in Lin Shen's vision, spinning rapidly. After a dizzying whirl, Lin Shen, whose head was splitting, suddenly felt his body sink. He involuntarily fell to the ground, his body feeling as if it were burdened by a thousand pounds of gravity.

Lin Shen pressed his hands against the ground and, with great effort, slowly stood up. The feeling of being weighed down made even standing difficult. The trembling muscles in his legs made him feel overwhelmed, as if his legs might give way and he would fall to the ground at any moment.

"What the hell is going on?" Lin Shen's gaze fell upon the scene before him, and he was instantly stunned.

There were no mountains or valleys here. What met his eyes was a stretch of white sand and a blue ocean.

On the surrounding beach, large sea turtles with white Steel Bodies, covered in steel spikes, and as big as millstones, were lying on the sandy shore, doing something he couldn't discern.

Due to Lin Shen's sudden appearance, hundreds of Steel Spiked Turtles turned their heads to look, their gazes focusing on him in unison.

Lin Shen swallowed hard, instinctively wanting to raise his hand to rub his eyes, to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

However, the action of raising his hand was many times more difficult than before, creating a delay between his thoughts and his movements.

Before his hand even reached his eyes, Lin Shen noticed that the black electronic watch was clearly on his left wrist.

Lin Shen's first reaction was to reach out and take off the watch. As his fingers touched the strap, he heard the cold, synthesized electronic voice from the watch again.

"Teleportation cooldown has not ended. Forcibly removing the teleportation device will restart teleportation, causing irreversible damage to the user during teleportation."

Lin Shen's hand stopped instantly. He thought of the terrifying injuries on Qi Guan's body.

Could Qi Guan's injuries have been caused by this 'damage'? Thinking of those injuries, Lin Shen didn't dare to touch the watch again.

Even an Alloy Gene Mutator was injured to that extent. What would happen to him, a weakling without a gene mutation, if he suffered such injuries? Would he be directly turned into a pile of flesh and gore?

The time displayed on the watch changed to 71:59:54, and the time continued to decrease.

Does this mean that I can only use this teleportation equipment again after seventy-two hours? Lin Shen made an intuitive judgment.

There was no time for him to think further, because after a moment of stunned silence, those Steel Spiked Turtles began crawling towards him in anger. Judging by their expressions, it was as if Lin Shen had dug up their ancestral graves, and they were determined to tear him to shreds.

Lin Shen wanted to run, but he only took one step and stopped. His entire body felt as if it were burdened with heavy weights, and he couldn't run at all.

Lin Shen quickly fumbled around his body, managing with difficulty to pull out his pet key and Pet Capsule. Before the Steel Spiked Turtles could rush over, he summoned the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast first.

Under Lin Shen's control, the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast bit onto his Chainmail, lifted him up, and swung him onto its back.

Lin Shen lay on the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast's back, his hands tightly gripping its neck.

The Heavy Armor Demonic Beast let out a roar, its Alloy Grade legs, thicker than an elephant's, directly stomping towards the charging Steel Spiked Turtles.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of steel shattering came, and the steel spikes and shell on the Steel Spiked Turtles were directly crushed, a mercury-like liquid splashing out.

Lin Shen could clearly feel that the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast's speed was much slower than before, and the speed of those Steel Spiked Turtles also seemed slower than the Steel Creatures Lin Shen had seen previously.

"Is it a gravity issue?" Lin Shen speculated, but then felt the watch on his wrist vibrating.

He tilted his head to look at the watch and found that what was displayed on it was no longer the time, but flowing text.

"Killed Steel Creature Steel Spiked Turtle... Killed Steel Creature Steel Spiked Turtle..."

As the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast continued to stomp, lines of information continuously flowed across the watch face.

The Alloy Grade Heavy Armor Demonic Beast among a group of Steel Grade Steel Spiked Turtles was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, engaging in a one-sided slaughter.

Even though they knew they were no match, those Steel Spiked Turtles still desperately charged towards the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast, each one fearless of death, as if in a hurry to be reborn. The Heavy Armor Demonic Beast stomped on them one by one, killing twenty to thirty in a short while.

Lin Shen was initially a bit confused as to why these Steel Spiked Turtles didn't run. Gene Mutation Creatures weren't fools; even ordinary animals knew to escape. The intelligence of Gene Mutation Creatures wasn't lower than that of ordinary animals, and was even higher. How could they not know to run?

When his gaze fell on the places where those Steel Spiked Turtles had been lying, he instantly understood.

There were sand pits there, and in some of the still exposed sand pits, Lin Shen saw eggs the size of ping pong balls.

"So these Steel Spiked Turtles are laying eggs! I've stumbled into a collective maternity ward!" Lin Shen suddenly realized.

Looking at the Gene Mutation Eggs in those sand pits, Lin Shen suddenly thought that if he could take all these Gene Mutation Eggs back, it would also be a very considerable income.

The egg-laying ability of the Steel Spiked Turtles seemed very strong. Just a quick glance showed at least seven or eight Gene Mutation Eggs in one sand pit. With so many sand pits, there were probably over a thousand Gene Mutation Eggs, right?

He just didn't know if the teleportation equipment could teleport them back together, and also the materials from these Steel Spiked Turtles. Although their value wasn't too high, the quantity was large, so they could still sell for some money.

As Lin Shen was thinking, he suddenly heard the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast let out a scream.

Lin Shen looked down and was immediately startled. The Heavy Armor Demonic Beast had one foot on the back of a Steel Spiked Turtle. Not only did that Steel Spiked Turtle not get stomped into pieces like the other Steel Spiked Turtles, but the Heavy Armor Demonic Beast's foot was actually pierced by the steel spikes on its back.

"What's going on?" Lin Shen looked at the Steel Spiked Turtle being stomped on. Whether it was its size or appearance, it was no different from an ordinary Steel Spiked Turtle; it seemed to be just a regular Steel Spiked Turtle.

But how could the spikes of a Steel Creature pierce an Alloy Creature?

Lin Shen couldn't help but look at his watch, wanting to see if there was any information about this Steel Spiked Turtle on it. However, he didn't see any information about this Steel Spiked Turtle. Instead, he saw some other information.

User: Unmutated Low-Level Life Form.

Strength: 5.

Speed: 5.

Hardness: 5.

Toughness: 5.

Theoretical Maximum Lifespan: 100 years.

Gene Mutation Talent: None.

Lin Shen couldn't help but be startled: "This unmutated low-level life form... it can't be talking about me, can it?"

But then he thought about it, and it was indeed true. All four stats were five, a complete Battle Power of 5 Trash.

Even such a Battle Power of 5 Trash was already the limit for ordinary humans. This physical quality was only achieved after consuming a large amount of Gene Mutation Fluid over many years.
