Wei Wufu's Egg

"It's rare to see mutated creatures outside, so why are there so many here? We've already encountered two just on this beach." Lin Shen knew he couldn't retreat now; retreating meant certain death.

Even someone as ruthless as Wei Wufu, with such a fast blade, couldn't defeat this mutated creature. The Superspeed Gunslinger was even less of a match.

Once the Superspeed Gunslinger died, he would be like meat on a chopping block, left to be slaughtered.

"Shoot!" Lin Shen gritted his teeth and gave the command.

The Superspeed Gunslinger pulled the trigger without hesitation. Bullets roared out of the barrel, shooting towards the mutated creature's head.

While shooting, the Superspeed Gunslinger narrowly dodged the mutated creature's fork by sidestepping.

The mutated creature tilted its head, dodging the Superspeed Gunslinger's bullets. Its speed was similar to the Superspeed Gunslinger's. It could only be thankful that the Superspeed Gunslinger was a top-tier speed-type pet, otherwise, it would have been difficult to dodge that fork.

"Catch." Lin Shen reached into his pocket, pulled something out, and threw it to Wei Wufu with all his might. Although they had only exchanged one round, Lin Shen knew the Superspeed Gunslinger was definitely not a match.

Speed was the Superspeed Gunslinger's strongest weapon, yet it couldn't gain any advantage against the mutated creature. In other aspects, it was definitely much weaker than the mutated creature; there was no way to fight.

Wei Wufu caught the object Lin Shen threw. It was a Crystal Gene Level blade that looked like a green leaf. He immediately pinched the blade between two fingers, staring intently at the mutated creature, and whispered, "Go."

Lin Shen ignored him. Wei Wufu wasn't a match for the mutated creature even when he had a pet and a Crystal Gene Level Tang Blade. Now, with just a Leaf Blade, it would be a miracle if he could defeat the mutated creature.

"Find an opportunity, shoot its eyes. Leave the rest to me," Lin Shen shouted.

Wei Wufu frowned slightly. He couldn't understand what Lin Shen meant by saying that. He didn't believe Lin Shen himself had any ability to harm the mutated creature.

Wei Wufu didn't say anything. He also knew Lin Shen couldn't escape far. Once he and the Superspeed Gunslinger died, Lin Shen would also die. Escaping or not didn't make much difference.

After dodging the bullet, the mutated creature flicked the fork in its hand, sweeping it towards the Superspeed Gunslinger's waist. The Superspeed Gunslinger hadn't even had time to fire a second shot, showing that the mutated creature still had a slight advantage in speed. Its speed value might be the maximum of twenty.

Of course, it was also possible that, like Dead Powder, its speed value had broken through the upper limit of twenty, reaching the super-limit of twenty-one. However, Lin Shen felt it wasn't as fast as Dead Powder and shouldn't have reached twenty-one.

The Superspeed Gunslinger could only retreat quickly. While retreating, it fired another shot, the bullet still aimed at the mutated creature's face.

This was intentional on Lin Shen's part, making the Superspeed Gunslinger continuously shoot at the mutated creature's face.

At such close range, the bullet was still dodged by the mutated creature turning around. At the same time, it swung the fork in a large circle, sweeping towards the Superspeed Gunslinger again.

"Now!" Lin Shen suddenly roared. This time, the Superspeed Gunslinger didn't retreat but advanced, almost rushing in front of the mutated creature and firing a shot at its face.

Almost at the instant the bullet left the barrel, the mutated creature's fork swept across the Superspeed Gunslinger's waist, directly sending the Superspeed Gunslinger flying sideways. Its waist was clearly twisted, and its alloy spine looked broken.

Because the distance was too close, the mutated creature had to forcefully twist its neck to dodge the bullet.

A green light flashed through the air, shooting into the mutated creature's left eye as it twisted its neck to dodge the bullet.

The ruby-like eye was pierced by the green leaf, causing the mutated creature to reach out in pain to grab the green leaf stuck in its eye.

Wei Wufu saw that Lin Shen had rushed to the mutated creature at the same time, and his speed was even faster than the bullet fired by the Superspeed Gunslinger.

Even seeing Lin Shen's speed, Wei Wufu still didn't think rushing over was a good decision.

He could tell that Lin Shen was simply someone without gene mutation. He didn't know what method he used to briefly burst out with such speed.

Not to mention that such speed wasn't much faster than the mutated creature, even if it was faster, his strength wasn't enough to harm the mutated creature. Rushing over was no different from seeking death.

Especially when Lin Shen actually used one finger to forcefully poke the mutated creature's waist, Wei Wufu thought Lin Shen's finger would definitely break, while the mutated creature would be completely unharmed.

Clang!

Lin Shen's finger jabbed hard into a depression on the mutated creature's waist, emitting a dull thud and Lin Shen's muffled groan of pain.

Just as Wei Wufu expected, Lin Shen's finger bone was broken by the jab, twisted into a chilling state.

And just as Wei Wufu thought, the mutated creature was completely unharmed. Even though Lin Shen attacked its weak spot, it couldn't injure it in the slightest.

But what happened next left Wei Wufu stunned.

The mutated creature actually stood there motionless, maintaining the posture of holding a fork in one hand and a Leaf Blade in the other, like a robot that had suddenly run out of power.

"It hurts like hell!" Lin Shen grimaced in pain, his twisted finger swollen like a small radish.

Wei Wufu's gaze towards Lin Shen, however, became somewhat strange, as if he were seeing him for the first time.

He had seen Lin Shen immobilize the Superspeed Gunslinger, but he hadn't expected that he could even immobilize this mutated creature. What kind of power was that? Wei Wufu had never heard of it.

A human without Gene Mutation could possess such speed and incomprehensible methods. There was something to Lin Shen.

"Don't move, come here." Wei Wufu saw Lin Shen take out a bottle of potion from his pocket and was about to apply it to his finger when he suddenly spoke.

Lin Shen was already used to Wei Wufu's speaking style and was too lazy to ask again. Dragging his heavy body, he shuffled over to Wei Wufu's side.

"Squat down, hand." Wei Wufu said again.

Lin Shen understood what he meant. He squatted down and extended his injured finger towards him.

Wei Wufu's finger flashed, and he suddenly stroked Lin Shen's injured finger. Immediately, there was a crisp crack, making Lin Shen howl in pain.

"Apply the medicine," Wei Wufu said.

Lin Shen's scream stopped. After the momentary pain passed, his finger didn't hurt as much and felt much better.

He lowered his head and saw that his twisted finger was straight again.

Without saying anything more, Lin Shen poured a few drops of the potion from the bottle and applied it to his injured finger, his gaze fixed on the mutated creature.

Fortunately, the mutated creature hadn't reached the formidable level of Dead Powder. Its acupoints were immobilized, and it couldn't move again. However, Lin Shen didn't know how long the Seven Steps of Conflict effect would last.

He looked at the Superspeed Gunslinger. His spine was broken. Although he wasn't dead yet, he couldn't even crawl and it was impossible for him to shoot again.

Lin Shen gritted his teeth and shuffled in front of the mutated creature, reaching out to pull out the Leaf Blade stuck in its eye. But the Leaf Blade was held by it, and no matter how hard Lin Shen pulled, he couldn't make the Leaf Blade budge an inch.

"You... don't have Gene Mutation..." Wei Wufu looked at Lin Shen with a strange expression and asked.

He had been very certain before that Lin Shen didn't have Gene Mutation, but now he was starting to doubt his own judgment.

"No," Lin Shen lowered his hand helplessly and looked at Wei Wufu, saying, "Your hands can still move. Can you come over and kill it yourself?"

"Can't kill it. Here," Wei Wufu took out something and threw it to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen reached out and caught it, finding it was an egg.

Yes, it was an egg, not a Gene Mutation Egg.

Gene Mutation Eggs all had metal or crystal shells, while this egg was like a chicken or duck egg, with a grayish-white shell, thin and fragile. It was a bit smaller, slightly larger than a pigeon egg.

"I'm not hungry yet..." Lin Shen thought Wei Wufu wanted him to eat this egg. Let alone not being hungry, even if he were, such a small egg wouldn't do much.

"Don't eat it, use it for Gene Mutation," Wei Wufu said.

"Use this egg for gene mutation... are you sure..." Lin Shen's mind was full of questions. How could he use this thing for gene mutation? He thought Wei Wufu was joking with him, but looking at Wei Wufu's expression, there was no hint of a joke.

"If you want to live, use it for gene mutation," Wei Wufu said, seeing Lin Shen's confusion.

Lin Shen still couldn't believe that he could undergo gene mutation with this thing, and even if he could, it would be a long process. It could take as little as three to five days, or as long as half a month, or even one or two months. How could he undergo gene mutation in this place?

He was afraid that before he could complete the gene mutation, the Seven Steps of Conflict would wear off, and the mutated creatures would come and kill him with a single stab.

"Very strong, very fast, difficult, succeed live, fail die," Wei Wufu said again.
