Peeking out to survey the situation at the foot of the mountain, the Qi and Wang families were left with fewer than ten people. Bai Shenfei's battle with the Giant King wasn't looking optimistic either.

Thinking back to when they first arrived, a mighty force of over two hundred people, and now only a handful remained. It made Lin Shen feel a bit melancholic.

Humans, after all, had only gained partial Gene Mutation power. It was difficult for them to become metallic both inside and out like Gene Mutation Creatures. Generally speaking, at the same level, humans were at a disadvantage.

The fact that these people could hold out until now was mainly due to the support of the Mystic Birds.

Besides the two Mystic Birds, the Crystal Gene Level pets in the hands of Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer were also mostly dead. This single battle had already caused heavy losses to the Qi and Wang families, significantly reducing their strength.

Even if his third and fourth brothers couldn't return in a short time, with Lin Shen present, he should be able to contend with the Qi and Wang families.

The premise was that Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer could return alive. If they and the Mystic Birds were lost here, it would be basically impossible for the Qi and Wang families to compete with the Lin Family again.

Because several more Alloy Gene Mutator teammates had died, Lin Shen's four attributes had all broken through thirty. This attribute level was no longer low among the Crystal Gene Level.

The cap for Crystal Gene Level attributes was forty, and Lin Shen was already over thirty. The Sacrifice to Heaven ability was truly powerful, it just cost a lot of people.

"Isn't it good to live well? Why insist on fighting and rushing to die? There aren't that many troubles in the world; they are all self-inflicted by ordinary people." Lin Shen was in a good mood. Taking advantage of the Giant King not paying attention to this side, he pushed the Gene Mutation Egg and walked out.

Who knew that just as he pushed the Gene Mutation Egg out of the cave, he heard a roar from the foot of the mountain.

The Giant King, who had been fighting fiercely with Bai Shenfei, actually abandoned Bai Shenfei and charged madly towards the mountain.

"How was I discovered? Does the Giant King have telepathy?" Lin Shen clearly saw that the Giant King wasn't paying attention to this side before he came out, yet he was still discovered.

He subconsciously retreated a little, returning to the cave. The Giant King had clearly discovered him and didn't give up, still accelerating its charge.

"My attributes are so strong now, what is there to be afraid of? I'll just fight it directly." Lin Shen subconsciously still felt that Crystal Gene Level creatures were very powerful and for a moment didn't remember that his current attributes were no weaker than the Crystal Gene Level. He turned to run, but after a second thought, he stopped again.

Lin Shen's greatest confidence, besides the attribute surge brought by Sacrifice to Heaven, was Seven Steps of Conflict and his Super Gene Evolution.

His current attributes were definitely still not as good as the Giant King's, but after the steel hardening enhancement of Super Gene Evolution, it was very likely that his attributes were no weaker than the Giant King's.

Instead of running away, it was better to try and see what level his strength could reach under the double enhancement of Sacrifice to Heaven and Super Gene Evolution.

Even if he couldn't beat it, escaping was absolutely no problem.

With the Angel Revolver on him, he could fire a shot and rush out with the bullet. That speed was something the Giant King couldn't match.

Immediately, Lin Shen directly used Super Gene Evolution. The armor outside his body quickly became as brilliant and dazzling as thoroughly heated steel. Under the rapid quenching of a blast of ice energy, the armor turned semi-transparent, looking very similar to the Crystal Gene Level. Ordinary people couldn't distinguish it at all.

Lin Shen's series of actions were all completed inside the cave on the mountaintop. Bai Shenfei and the others at the foot of the mountain didn't see them.

Bai Shenfei was even a little confused as to why the Giant King suddenly abandoned the fight and left.

Following the Giant King's roar, all the giants actually abandoned them and followed the Giant King's body charging up the mountain, making the people of the Qi and Wang families both surprised and delighted. For a moment, they didn't know what had happened, but they all had a feeling of escaping death.

"Go!" Wang Tianer and Qi Shuheng called for their surviving subordinates to retreat. As they retreated, everyone occasionally turned their heads to look up the mountain.

Suddenly, everyone discovered a human figure appearing on the mountaintop.

"Is that... a human Gene Mutator?" Someone couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It's a human Gene Mutator... and a Crystal Gene Level one... No wonder those giants suddenly ran up the mountain... That Crystal Gene Level stole their home..."

"Besides us, there are actually other human Gene Mutators here, and a Crystal Gene Level one at that?"

"We fought with all our might, and that bastard actually went to pick up the spoils. How shameless."

"Hmph, cleverness backfired. He thought he was smart, but he ended up helping us out of a jam and trapping himself. He's probably dead."

"..."

While everyone was discussing, the Giant King had almost reached the mountaintop. It was impatient and leaped directly into the air.

The rocks beneath its feet shattered like a spiderweb under the terrifying pressure, forming a web-like cracked area dozens of meters wide.

The Giant King, leaping high, reached Lin Shen in almost an instant, moving faster than a regular bullet.

Coupled with its massive body and the huge air blast from the sonic boom, it felt like its punch could shatter the entire mountaintop.

Bai Shenfei had been watching the situation on the mountaintop, constantly wondering who that person was: "Is it Senior Brother Lin? Or Lin Zongzheng?"

Regardless of whether that person was Lin Xiangdong or Lin Zongzheng, seeing that he didn't dodge but instead swung his arm and threw a punch, his small fist meeting the Giant King's terrifying black giant fist, Bai Shenfei didn't think it was a good choice.

She had fought the Giant King for so long and understood it very well. Its strength and hardness were top-tier among Crystal Gene Level creatures, possibly even exceeding the limit of the Crystal Gene Level.

Its speed was slightly weaker, but still stronger than average Crystal Gene creatures, probably around 37.

The Giant King's weakest point should be its toughness, estimated to be less than thirty.

The influence of toughness isn't usually obvious, but it's equally important. Like forging a knife, after heat treatment, the hardness of the blade steel increases, but if the toughness isn't good, it can't cut harder things.

So chefs usually have two knives: one with high hardness and a thin blade for cutting vegetables, which is hard and wear-resistant, and can stay sharp for a long time.

The other is for chopping bones, with a thick blade. Its hardness might not be particularly high, but its toughness is better. It won't be damaged when chopping bones, at least it won't break when smashing garlic.

The Giant King's low toughness is only relative to its other attributes. In fact, among Crystal Gene Level creatures, its toughness isn't low.

Moreover, its body is so thick and heavy, unlike a slicing knife which is thin. A little less toughness isn't a problem.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Shen, standing on the mountaintop, met the Giant King's aerial Boom Fist with a punch.

Bang!

Only a loud explosion was heard between the fists.

The next second, everyone's eyes widened, seeing a scene that would be hard for them to forget in this lifetime.

In the explosion, countless dense white cracks instantly appeared on the Giant King's obsidian-like body.

The next moment, the Giant King's massive body in mid-air exploded, turning into countless fragments that sprayed out, mixed with a small amount of black Gene Mutation Fluid.

"It... exploded..." an Alloy Gene Mutator from the Wang Family said with a trembling voice. The scene was too shocking.

Not just him, Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer also took a long time to recover. The power of that punch was so terrifying it was hard to believe. That was a top-tier Crystal Gene creature, yet it was blown up by a single punch.

Bai Shenfei's eyes were also full of complex emotions, and she murmured, "Who exactly is he?"

The giants rushing towards the mountaintop also stopped involuntarily at this moment, staring blankly at the figure on the mountaintop, who wasn't huge but made them feel awe.
