Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1171 - 512: Occupying Little Straw Mountain

Liang Yuan creased his forehead in bewilderment and questioned, "This space exceeds twenty square kilometers. Though not immense, it's certainly no trifle."

"Given the spiritual power potency in this place, it nurtures hordes of Genetic Mutation Beasts. Then why's there not a single human Superpower User at Genetic Species level?"

Wu Yaobang shook his head: "Maybe humans, being the frailest from the start, hunkered down at home early on, too terrified to emerge, as mutant creatures kicked off their evolution while humans remained stuck."

"Once behind, you stay behind step after step."

Ding Yan countered right away, "No chance. Humans' top weapon is their brains. Lagging initially, wouldn't they rally together against outside threats?"

Wu Yaobang parted his lips, eager to add more.

Liang Yuan's eyes grew shadowy, "Your Qi and Blood churn chaotically—are you fibbing?"

Wu Yaobang's features convulsed at once: "No, I didn't—I...ah!"

Zhou Qingming lunged ahead and thrust a dagger into his shoulder.

"Still bold enough to deceive!"

Zhou Qingming smirked cruelly, wrenching the knife hilt forcefully to shear off a slab of skin.

Excruciating agony tore a blood-curdling howl from Wu Yaobang.

He wailed and pleaded, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll confess it all, everything—originally, this space hosted Genetic Species powerhouses."

"They'd banded into an alliance before, but I eradicated them and claimed this space."

"How did you exterminate them?" Liang Yuan demanded sharply.

"I herded them to Sakura Avenue swarming with Genetic Mutation Beasts, expended an avatar, and delivered them right into the maws of the mutants."

"You weren't native here? You intruded from outside, right?" Ding Yan pieced it together swiftly and grilled him fiercely.

Wu Yaobang bobbed his head in confession: "Yes, some three months prior, I breached this fold space and discovered it untouched by total flooding. I sought to possess it immediately."

"Except a band of Genetic Species experts already held it. To seize control, their elimination came first."

"My main body, upon hearing this, unleashed droves of avatars to propel the scheme."

"Soon after, disguised as a Genetic Species Superpower User, I wormed into their midst and conned them into pursuing Genetic Mutation Beasts."

"Once the clash with Genetic Mutation Beasts ended, heavy tolls hit both sides. My avatars united to butcher those Genetic Species Superpower Users alongside the mutant beasts."

Only now did Liang Yuan and his crew fathom how Wu Yaobang methodically ascended to Divine Son of this fold space.

True enough, grand victories demand steep prices, woven from layers of crafty ploys and maneuvers.

Liang Yuan's mind flashed with insight as he probed, "What of the Genetic Mutation Beasts you felled? Their essence blood?"

"Dispatched outward by an avatar, likely to the main body; from that point, my power's soared at breakneck speed."

"The main body probably devoured massive volumes of Genetic Mutation Beasts' essence blood, propelling its might upward in leaps."

Liang Yuan at last comprehended Wu Yaobang's rapid climb of his core attribute strength to 87 Points.

From Wu Yaobang's avatars' tales, he'd leveraged the indigenous Genetic Species experts to slaughter vast numbers of Genetic Mutation Beasts.

In turn harvesting immense essence blood hauls, enabling the main body to ingest them and surge in power swiftly.

Not even the Three Great Sects would permit one individual to monopolize such vast Superpower Energy from essence blood.

Considering that essence blood served to forge Genetic Species still.

Yet for Wu Yaobang's main body, its gains mirrored in the avatars' enhancements.

Thus allowing him to devour the entirety of essence blood unbound, accelerating his prowess unchecked.

"By this path, your main body ought to shatter past 100 Points in no time, yeah?" Ding Yan inquired.

Wu Yaobang shook his head, "Fat chance—even endless Genetic Mutation Beast essence blood won't let a Superpower User absorb infinitely."

"Finishing the Genetic Map demands essence blood solely from matching Genetic Mutation Beasts. Straying to others injects chaotic genes, tainting the Genetic Map."

"At that point, full mutation into a monstrous freak."

"Barred eternally from mid-tier Genetic Map advancement."

Ding Yan likewise perceived the genetic meddling plaguing Genetic Species breakthroughs.

Even after the breakthrough to Genetic Species, such disruptions undoubtedly persist.

Liang Yuan consistently warned everyone against eating mutant creature flesh, to steer clear of absorbing excessive mixed genes.

This could hinder their advancement to Genetic Species and the stabilization of their Genetic Map.

While a breakthrough at full 50 Points attributes greatly boosts the odds of success.

Yet, without a 100% certainty, danger always lingers.

Thus, it's wiser to minimize the intake of mixed genes as much as possible.

Of course, Liang Yuan possessed ways to skip mutant creature flesh entirely.

But others lacked that option; they devoured the flesh alongside extracting the Superpower Energy essence, enabling rapid breakthroughs.

However, in doing so, they unavoidably took in some mixed genes.

Right now, it appears inconsequential, but who can predict the future?

Wu Yaobang’s primary body advanced so swiftly because his avatars hunted down plenty of Genetic Mutation Beasts across locations and delivered their essence blood to him, fueling his power surge.

Yet, despite his cheat-level Superpowers, he refrained from blindly absorbing everything.

Otherwise, with his endless resources, he’d have long surpassed 100 Genetic Attribute Points.

Afterward, Zhou Qingming pressed further with intense questioning, uncovering numerous secrets of this wrinkled space.

Wu Yaobang ultimately buckled under the torment and met a savage end at Zhou Qingming’s hands.

Ding Yan shot Zhou Qingming a puzzled look, then drew Liang Yuan aside discreetly and murmured, “Don’t you think Zhou Qingming seems a little strange?”

Liang Yuan eyed Zhou Qingming and replied, “What’s strange about him?”

“He wasn’t this ruthless before,” Ding Yan shook her head.

Liang Yuan sighed with a shake of his head, “Likely due to Sun Weiwei’s death.”

Ding Yan froze in shock and queried doubtfully, “Sun Weiwei? How does she connect to this?”

“He shared a connection with Sun Weiwei, after all.”

Ding Yan appeared disbelieving, “Impossible. Is Zhou Qingming some romantic hero? Does that woman merit his feelings?”

“The poison inside him came from her.”

Liang Yuan shook his head, “Perhaps it was his first love? Beyond that, I can’t fathom why he despises Wu Yaobang so intensely.”

“Regardless, even if he hadn’t acted, I would have. That scum dared to target you; he warranted death ages ago.”

Hearing this, Ding Yan gave a faint smile and assured, “Rest easy, no one but you can lay a hand on me.”

Liang Yuan laughed lightly, and Ding Yan inquired, “What’s our next move? How do we track down Li Qinghua?”

Liang Yuan pondered briefly before stating, “Since Li Qinghua fled, he retains some power. First, we must locate Old Ge and Xia Ming.”

These two belong to Han Xiangman’s squad; both boast strong talents—one wields Fire Attribute Superpower, the other Metal Attribute Superpower.

Remarkably, each has pushed their primary attribute to 50 Points. Such gifts are scarce; Liang Yuan is determined to save them.

This ties into Han Xiangman’s influence as well.

Considering his bond with Han Xiangman, failing to rescue her old comrades would be indefensible.

“This wrinkled space spans neither vast nor tiny—20 square kilometers; pinpointing two people won’t be simple.”

Liang Yuan nodded, “True, it’s no easy task, but no hurry. As long as they survive, lingering here briefly holds little threat.”

“In the meantime, I’ll hunt Genetic Mutation Beasts to aid you and Zhou Qingming in reaching Genetic Species.”

“Also, I’ll soon transport a group from Yangshan; this space suits shelter construction far better than Yangshan.”

“That said, prior to anything else, I must uncover the true cause behind this wrinkled space’s creation.”

Ding Yan reflected upon his words and asked, “Do you suspect an issue with how this wrinkled space formed?”

“Absolutely, why would a normal space develop these wrinkles?”

“Even if it’s some unique event, why here alone and not elsewhere?”

Ding Yan nodded in agreement, “You’re right.”

“No need to dwell; from now on, pour everything into breaking through to Genetic Species. Once you’re a Genetic Species Master, ramp up your strength fast.”

“Yangshan has Zhao Kai; you’ll handle oversight there afterward.”

“And you?” Ding Yan pressed quickly.

Liang Yuan’s gaze flashed with murderous resolve as he declared, “Yangshan suffered an assault from the Three Great Sects this time—it won’t end just like that.”

"I’ll head to Guangfu myself; if I don’t terrify them down to their bones, they’ll believe Yangshan can be trifled with by any random stray cats and dogs!"

Ding Yan looked shocked. "What happened to Yangshan?"

She remained completely unaware of Yangshan’s situation up to this point.

Liang Yuan detailed how the Three Great Sects had assaulted Yangshan, along with the plague unleashed by the Water God Sect’s Plague Priest.

Ding Yan’s expression grew deathly serious as she declared, "If I’d known it would come to this, I never should have left Yangshan!"

Liang Yuan shook his head, replying, "The enemies boast far too many Genetic Species Masters; it wouldn’t matter if you were there or not."

"Breaking through to Genetic Species remains the ultimate way to bolster Yangshan’s power."

A determined look crossed Ding Yan’s face as she affirmed, "Got it, I’ll dedicate myself to reaching Genetic Species!"

In the days that followed, Liang Yuan eradicated every one of Wu Yaobang’s clones in Eden, thereby claiming Little Straw Mountain.

Throughout this effort, he scoured the area for Physical Mutation Beasts, yet despite his searches, Liang Yuan uncovered various mutant beasts—none of which were Physical Class.

Having been stuck there for two full days, Liang Yuan grew increasingly restless.

It was then that Ji Xiaoyu sought out Liang Yuan.

"Mr. Liang, are you searching for Physical Class Genetic Mutation Beasts?"

Liang Yuan glanced at Ji Xiaoyu and nodded. "Yes, Sister Ding and the rest count as Physique Ability Users; they require the blood essence from these mutation beasts to advance to the Genetic Species level."

Ji Xiaoyu paused briefly before saying, "I know of a spot that might hold such mutation beasts."

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise at her words. "You do? Where?"

"Promise me one thing first, and then I’ll tell you," Ji Xiaoyu said, staring straight at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan asked, puzzled, "What thing?"

"Can you assign half of Little Straw Mountain’s territory to us?"

Liang Yuan froze in shock. "Us?"
