Mutant Beasts and Ferocious Beasts

The sequencing conference is not the end, but the beginning of everything.

Zuo Teng had mentioned this before, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't take it seriously at the time, believing that winning the championship would lead to the pinnacle of his life.

But he never expected the road to the top to be so difficult and fraught with danger.

This not only requires them to have sufficient support from behind, but also requires them to keep moving forward, involving both domestic and international affairs.

Zhang Xuezhou suddenly understood why it was mostly the older and younger generations making a fuss in Western Capital, while people from the middle class rarely showed up.

It's not just them who are bound; almost everyone is bound, facing all sorts of demands.

Unless one is a business genius whose genetic development does not conflict with others, it is impossible to sit in Western Capital and live a leisurely life.

For most people, they need to make up for their needs in various ways.

Hunting in the ruins of Qinmeng was clearly one of the most important methods.

Zhang Xuezhou has various backup plans, and he can maintain his composure, but many of the younger generation can no longer do so.

Within just a few days of receiving the invitation to the sequencing conference, Zhang Xuezhou's communications were flooded with invitations.

Luo Gaogao: Brother Zhang, come to our Zuo Household for tea. Let's discuss whether there's a possibility of forming a suitable team in the Qin Meng Ruins!

Zuo Teng: Brother, we've fought and settled our scores, how about we take a stroll through the ruins of Qin and Meng together? I'll cover your plane and boat tickets.

Zhu Kuang: Gao Gao and I are very interested in several creatures in the Qin Meng Ruins. If you also have similar needs, we can go together and hunt what you need, and what we need, we can each keep.

Zhou Tianhao: Dude, my aunt said your skills are probably pretty useful against some mindless monsters, and you can even preserve their bodies intact. Want to go for a run?

Chang Kong Shen Guang: Brother Zhang, when my family clashed with the Ren Household, I immediately recognized your extraordinary talent. Would you be interested in cooperating? The exotic beasts I need don't conflict with yours, and my melee defense skills are quite good. Paired with your sister, it should be a perfect match.

Chang Kong Wei Guang: Hello Zhang, it's a pity we didn't get to spar with you, but I have an excellent skill in taming beasts and can preserve the exotic and ferocious beasts I hunt relatively intact. If there are any trips to the Qin Meng Ruins, we can try to cooperate.

Zhong Wuyan:...

With access to the chat group "Backyard Garden" for spoiled rich kids, contacting Zhang Xuezhou privately wasn't difficult, and correspondingly, Zhang Xuezhou's communicator saw a constant influx of unfamiliar messages in just a few days.

Zhang Xuezhou responded politely, saying that he had no plans to travel in the near future and hoped for opportunities to cooperate in the future.

He neither agreed nor refused.

When venturing into unfamiliar territory, Zhang Xuezhou naturally hopes to have as many people as possible.

Only by adapting to the conditions of the Qin Meng ruins as a group could they possibly travel in small teams.

What a pity!

If it weren't for the fact that his body required him to travel to different worlds every seven days, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could take a walk around the Qin Meng ruins. However, given his symptoms, running around recklessly would undoubtedly be playing with his life.

People as proud and calculating as Zuo Teng seek to form teams, which reveals the perilous nature of the Qin Meng ruins.

"Actually, your current schedule is very suitable for exploring the Qin Meng ruins," Zhang Manqian corrected Zhang Xuezhou's misconception, "You have seven tireless days, which puts you ahead of so many people!"

"That's true," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

The seven-day work week is Zhang Xuezhou's disadvantage, but it is also his advantage.

Everyone else needs to rest at night, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn't.

This allows him to maintain several advantages while conscious, such as keeping watch and hunting at night.

"The danger over there isn't just the strange and ferocious beasts, but also the people," Zhang Manqian said. "Some hunters even engage in stalking groups, and they'll bare their fangs once they see an opportunity!"

"It's definitely worth the risk!"

Zhang Xuezhou considered the price Zhou Yueyan paid for acquiring intact, surviving exotic beasts and knew very well that the gains from such plundering were too great, making it difficult to curb the greed in human nature.

Even scions of wealthy Lineage find it difficult to remain indifferent to this matter.

"That's a no-man's-land, there are no laws governing it," Zhang Manqian said. "It's said that many people have tried to build laboratories or establish bases there in the past, but none have succeeded!"

"There's a beast tide over there," Tulcarando interjected. "Our Lineage once built a laboratory there, but it only lasted for six months before it was gone. Many researchers died in the beast tide!"

What is a monster tide like?

"It's the kind of situation where all living things go mad, even a rat would chase after you and bite you," Turkalando mused. "Ant swarms, rat swarms, bird swarms, insect swarms will all come together, destroying everything that doesn't belong to the Qin Meng ruins!"

"In this situation, let alone Gene Fighting Technique, even a full-scale attack by firearms wouldn't be enough to withstand it," Zhang Manqian gasped.

"The number of creatures in nature exceeds that of humans by hundreds or even thousands of times. No one can stop them. That's how the Qinmeng Empire perished," Turkalando said.

"Haven't those crazy creatures spread?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"They prefer to stay within the Qinmeng Empire's territory; few creatures venture elsewhere," Turkalando shook his head. "And every time such a frenzy occurs, mutated beasts, even ferocious beasts, inevitably emerge from among these creatures!"

"How are mutated beasts and ferocious beasts defined?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with great interest.

"Mutant beasts are naturally extraordinary. Although their appearance is not much different from ordinary creatures, their physical abilities are different," Tulcarando said. "For example, their abilities in strength, speed, and jumping are doubled or even tripled."

"If the velociraptor's speed increases by two to three times, it will be difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Manqian couldn't help but gasp slightly when she thought about the exotic beasts her genes required.

"Ordinary mutated beasts are still within our capabilities, but ferocious beasts are a different story," Tulcarando said. "The abilities of ferocious beasts are far beyond what we can normally handle!"

"For example?" Zhang Xuezhou asked solemnly.

"For example, let me tell you a secret from our Alliance States," Tulcarando whispered, "We have a lab there that has replicated the ant's genome, and it's even been published in scientific literature!"

"I think I've heard of it!"

Some people think we're digging up the genes of these ants!

Turkalando gestured to the crescent moon on her fingernail, then gestured to half of her body.

"The ants we're actually studying are actually this big!"

"An ant half a person's height?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise, "Is this a ferocious beast? What are its abilities?"

"My information is incomplete; I only know that it runs like the wind, its teeth can bite through steel, and its striking force is about two tons!"

"Two tons? That means only Committee Member Zhou could carry that weight."

Ants don't just have two legs!

Turkalando shook her head, thinking that even if Zhou Xin survived a direct confrontation, he might suffer a great loss.

Aside from lacking corresponding intelligence, the ferocious beasts are almost completely superior to humans in melee combat.
