Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"What the hell is going on?" In the blink of an eye, those little golden bulls, originally about the size of ants, now seemed to be the size of real oxen in his eyes, perhaps even larger.

Due to his body shrinking, Lin Shen's distance from those little golden bulls and the cave became very far. The originally pitted ground turned into many mountain ranges and giant pits in his eyes.

Lin Shen couldn't figure out what was happening. Evolution Theory was still running wildly, but his body showed no signs of growing.

"Wasn't it said that Golden Star only has metal toxins? How can it make someone's body shrink?" Lin Shen was utterly puzzled.

He didn't want to end up a mini person. How would he continue the Ye Family line then? Even if he could accept it, he couldn't find a mini woman to match him.

As he was worrying, he saw a Golden Bull running towards him in the distance. It noticed Lin Shen, let out a strange moo, and directly sprayed out a Diamond Horn Blade, attacking Lin Shen.

Lin Shen summoned the Inheritance Fan and used the Merge skill. The Inheritance Fan turned into a Light Sword in his hand, and he struck the Diamond Horn Blade with it.

The hard Diamond Horn Blade was notched by the Light Sword. In its Merged state, the Inheritance Fan's attributes were top-notch — a regular Base couldn't withstand the strike of the Light Sword.

The fact that the Diamond Horn Blade wasn't directly cut through suggested that it might have undergone quite a few turns of rebirth or possibly possessed a Base Talent for augmentation.

After repelling the Diamond Horn Blade with one strike, Lin Shen casually threw the Light Sword, turning it into a beam of light. Like a drill, it spun intensely and flew straight towards the Golden Bull.

Clearly slower than the Light Sword, the Golden Bull couldn't dodge in time, and the Diamond Horn Blade couldn't catch up with the Light Sword.

The Light Sword directly impaled the Golden Bull's belly, drilling through its body as though it was a drill, and came out the other side.

With a pitiful bellow, the Golden Bull struggled to fend off the Light Sword flying back at it again, but the blade was too fast and pierced through it once more from the other side, drilling through its body.

After being hit a few times, the Golden Bull fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Killed a Second Turn Mutated Metal Ox, discovered a Mutated Spirit Base Diamond Horn Blade."

Lin Shen's eyes suddenly widened. He hadn't expected the metal ox to be only at Second Turn Ascension, and he certainly didn't expect it to be mutated.

"Could all the Vajra Bulls here be mutated?" Lin Shen thought of those miniature Vajra Bulls he saw earlier.

If all of them were Mutated Ascension, then as long as he kept killing these mutated Vajra Bulls here, reaching Tenth Turn for his Base would not be difficult, and his Base Mutation rate could quickly reach one hundred percent.

Lin Shen hurriedly collected the Ascension Liquid and picked up the Diamond Horn Blade, activating it with his own Strength.

Soon Lin Shen saw the properties of the Diamond Horn Blade — they were nothing special, just relatively high Second Turn properties.

But the Diamond Horn Blade had a Vajra Invincibility Innate Skill — not only could it double the hardness and Toughness of the Diamond Horn Blade, but it also had an effect that made it less likely to get damaged.

"No wonder a Second Turn Diamond Horn Blade was able to clash with my Sixth Turn Inheritance Fan and only get slightly damaged. This Vajra Invincibility Base Talent is quite impressive," Lin Shen thought. He had not looked at the attributes of that Ninth Turn Diamond Horn Blade before, but now he knew — this Base Talent was quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Vajra Invincibility only enhanced hardness and toughness, with no boost to strength and speed, posing no significant threat to Lin Shen.

"This Second Turn Vajra Bull seems to have a problem with its body hardness, probably possessing a talent skill similar to Vajra Invincibility. Such creatures would be pretty good as shields or mounts," Lin Shen commented, after collecting the Ascension Liquid, and then stealthily moved towards the direction where he had found the group of Vajra Bulls.

That place should be the nest of the Vajra Bulls, and Lin Shen wanted to see whether all the bulls there were mutant species.

Just as he had crossed over a hill, he saw three Vajra Bulls searching for metal fragments nearby.

"The entire planet is like a giant lump of golden metal. Why aren't they moving metal by the entrance of their nest? Why do they need to run around looking for metal fragments? And it looks like they're being picky, not just any metal fragment will do," Lin Shen observed while hiding behind a large chunk of metal, quietly watching the three Vajra Bulls.

After a while, Lin Shen saw one of the Metal Oxen make an excited discovery and bellow before charging at a metal block with its head.

Its horns shimmered with light, and after a few collisions, the metal block shattered into pieces.

The metal of the Golden Star was dense and hard, but it seemed to have poor toughness; otherwise, it wouldn't shatter like stone.

Generally, metals tend to have high ductility and toughness, but the metals of the Golden Star seemed quite different.

After breaking the metal block, the Vajra Bull used its head to sift through the pieces and soon picked out a fragment with its mouth, separating it from the rest.

Lin Shen looked closely from the shadows, noticing that the metal fragment held by the Vajra Bull indeed appeared different from the others.

Although also golden, this fragment seemed brighter in color and translucent, more like a piece of golden jade instead of metal.

"So, these Vajra Bulls are looking for these kinds of metal fragments. What do they need them for?" Lin Shen suddenly realized, but was immediately filled with new questions.

Unable to come up with an answer, Lin Shen decided to take the fragment back to examine it.

Once again, he summoned the Inheritance Fan which transformed into the shape of a Light Sword and flew toward the Vajra Bull that had the metal fragment in its mouth.

Because of its incredible speed, the Vajra Bull had no time to react before the drill-like Light Sword pierced into its head, boring through its skull and causing the bull to drop to the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

The Light Sword spun around in the air while the other two Metal Oxen spat out Diamond Horn Blades in an attempt to intercept it, but unfortunately for them, they were too slow. In just a moment, they were both pierced through the head and fell dead to the ground.

Alerts appeared in quick succession on his watch, indicating he had killed mutant Vajra Bulls: two First Turn and one Second Turn, all mutants.

"They really are all mutants; this is truly a windfall," Lin Shen cried out in joy and hurriedly went to collect the Ascension Liquid.

He also collected the Diamond Horn Blades, planning to wait until the Contrarian had digested them and then feed her the Metal Horn Blades to help her advance to Tenth Turn sooner.

He temporarily refrained from feeding the Inheritance Fan since he still needed it for combat. If it were digesting the blade for rebirth, Lin Shen would have to join the fight himself, which was not his preferred style.

At present, the Vajra Bulls he encountered posed no threat, but there were so many of them. If he ran into one with some special innate skill, and if it trapped him, he would have to face the onslaught of thousands of Vajra Bulls, and whether he could break through was uncertain.
