Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1292 - 626: Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Genetic Species

"Mist City, Chang Yuntao..." Han Xiangman’s expression turned grim.

Zhang Peng promptly stated, "Captain Han, this situation warrants immediate reporting to Mr. Liang."

"Chang Yuntao has already assimilated Mist City, and his power is considerable. This is no longer within our scope to handle."

Wu Ying made a firm assertion, "Mr. Liang had indeed mentioned the necessity of reclaiming Fanshan Island first."

"If the mastermind behind this is truly the Lord of Mist City, then their scheme to take Fanshan Island must be a long-premeditated plan."

"Once Yang Baoshan is defeated, he will essentially control Baoshan City. From there, using Fanshan Island as a stepping stone to advance south and attack Linjiang would be an ideal maneuver."

Frowning, Zhang Peng inquired, "However, with our current strength, can we truly reclaim Fanshan Island?"

Han Xiangman turned to Zhou Hui, asking, "Mr. Zhou, you just stated that Fanshan Island is currently occupied by someone named Gu Jianye?"

"Could you elaborate on what you know about this Gu Jianye?"

Zhou Hui couldn't help but interject, "Why are you still discussing Fanshan Island? Isn't the pressing matter right now to help us break Yang Baoshan's siege?"

Han Xiangman gently shook her head, explaining, "Mr. Zhou, you misunderstand. It's not that we're unwilling to assist you; attacking Fanshan Island is also a means to alleviate the siege."

"Have you not heard of the strategy 'besiege Wei to rescue Zhao'? By attacking Fanshan Island, we can establish a strategic position relative to Yang Baoshan, allowing for cooperation and a counteroffensive against the enemy."

"The forces currently besieging Yang Baoshan would surely hesitate to commit all their strength, and would likely reserve some troops to guard against an attack from Fanshan Island, wouldn't they?"

"This..." Zhou Hui knitted his brows, sensing something was amiss but unable to articulate a clear objection.

Han Xiangman didn't allow him more time to ponder, adding, "To be candid, the City Lord of Mist City harbors past grievances with Mr. Liang."

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Moreover, your Captain Xu indeed has connections with Mr. Liang."

"Are we not familiar with the principle of interdependence, like lips and teeth?"

"Therefore, rest assured, our intention to help you is genuine."

These words prompted Zhou Hui to nod, sighing, "Alas, we are truly at our wit's end now."

"Regarding the information about Gu Jianye, I do possess a fair amount."

"This individual was originally the second-in-command of our Yang Baoshan. As for when he defected to Mist City, I am not entirely certain."

"Within our ranks, the suspicion is that it was for his son's sake."

"His son is an Ice Attribute Superpower User, but he has yet to find an Ice Attribute Genetic Species to achieve a breakthrough."

"We speculate he might have switched allegiance to Mist City in hopes of obtaining an Ice Attribute Genetic Species for his son."

"Naturally, there must have been other benefits involved, otherwise Gu Jianye wouldn't have betrayed us."

"As for Gu Jianye's strength, when he defected, his primary attribute had reached 100 points."

"What is the nature of his primary attribute?" Han Xiangman inquired further.

"Spirit Class."

"Genetic species ability?"

"We refer to it as Word Spirit."

"Word Spirit?" Han Xiangman was momentarily taken aback, not immediately grasping the meaning.

"What exactly is Word Spirit?" Wu Ying couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Hui provided an explanation, "'Word' as in 'spirit,' whatever he declares becomes reality – that is Word Spirit."

"What? Such an ability exists?"

Wu Ying, Han Xiangman, and Zhang Peng were all startled, showing signs of disbelief.

Zhou Hui affirmed with a nod, "Possessing such an ability allowed him to inflict silent harm upon our leader and escape his grasp."

"Our leader, a formidable superpower user with gene recombination capabilities, was unable to apprehend him."

Han Xiangman's brow furrowed, "How does one combat such an ability?"

Zhou Hui offered a wry smile, "There are numerous methods. He simply needs to utter, 'your attacks cannot hit me,' and regardless of how you strike, you will miss, even at point-blank range."

"Hiss, how is that possible? At such close proximity, I wouldn't be able to hit him?" Zhang Peng inhaled sharply, unable to suppress his question.

Shaking his head, Zhou Hui recounted, "I witnessed it firsthand. Gu Jianye was engaged in a fight, and though his opponent was directly before him, Gu Jianye declared, 'your sword cannot harm me.' You can imagine what happened? The opponent suddenly stumbled and missed his sword thrust."

"Numerous similar incidents have occurred. It's truly inexplicable."

"His Word Spirit superpower defies logic and reason to an almost absurd degree."

Wu Ying couldn't help but ponder aloud, "If he were to say, 'You die,' would I actually perish on the spot?"

Zhou Hui responded, shaking his head, "That is not feasible. This ability has its limitations and cannot be that outrageously applied."

"However, should his spiritual power far surpass that of his opponent, and the opponent is merely an ordinary superpower user, they might suddenly fall ill and perish on the spot."

"But when confronting adversaries with significant disparities in their core attributes, such a Word Spirit might prove ineffective or even result in a backlash."

"I don’t have the precise details on how that is quantified."

A collective exchange of glances occurred, a sense of being out of their depth pervading the group.

Nobody had anticipated that the enemy controlling Fanshan Island, despite not having achieved the gene recombination stage, would present such a formidable challenge!

The Word Spirit superpower was truly a capability nobody had ever heard of.

Even Han Xiangman, whose strength had seen considerable advancement, felt a tremor of uncertainty when contemplating such a potent adversary.

She paused in thought before stating, "Let's begin by notifying Mr. Liang about the current circumstances here."

"Following Beichen Island lies Mist City. If Mr. Liang were made aware, he would undoubtedly treat this matter with the utmost seriousness."

"Naturally, we cannot afford to remain inactive at this moment; we must swiftly establish contact with Yang Baoshan's team to procure intelligence."

"It would be most beneficial to ascertain the current power level of Chang Yuntao, the Master of Fog City, to better prepare Mr. Liang."

Witnessing Han Xiangman's decision not to rashly charge back towards Fanshan Island, both Wu Ying and Zhang Peng let out sighs of relief.

This was largely because they were acutely aware of the formidable strength possessed by the enemies entrenched on Fanshan Island.

It was genuinely beyond their current capacity to overcome them at this stage.

Wu Ying had initially harbored concerns that Han Xiangman had been dispatched under Liang Yuan's directive to hastily reclaim Fanshan Island.

It now appeared, however, that Captain Han, despite her unfamiliarity with the situation on Fanshan Island, was not an impulsive individual, which allowed him to exhale a breath of relief.

He then stated, "I shall promptly dispatch someone to convey this report to Mr. Liang."

Han Xiangman responded, "I will arrange for someone to escort all of you safely back to Yang Baoshan."

Zhang Peng then declared, "In that case, I shall lead a contingent to monitor the activities on Fanshan Island."

The trio immediately set about their respective tasks.

Yangshan, within the second floor of the Spirit Gathering Tower.

"Buzz!"

An unusual buzzing sound emanated, and in the subsequent moment, a small, white serpent emerged from within the room.

The comings and goings on the second floor continued, entirely oblivious to its subtle presence.

The white serpent ascended into the air, undergoing a transformation high above, and in an instant, it materialized as a colossal white turtle!

Intricate Turtle Shell Runes were etched upon the carapace of the giant turtle, and layers of shields, meticulously woven from Spiritual Power, enveloped its form.

A glint of delight surfaced within the giant turtle's eyes.

"I never anticipated that the Spirit-class Genetic Species I condensed this time would be a 'One Body, Two Beasts' entity!"

The giant turtle's form flickered, swiftly reverting back to its human shape.

It was none other than Liang Yuan!

Liang Yuan stood suspended in the void, his movements swift as he accessed his attribute panel, his gaze immediately fixing upon the Gene Map section.

Gene Map: Hundred-Change Demon Ape (10%), Ice Bear (10%), Sumeru Void Blue Ant (10%), Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon (10%), Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake (10%)

"This time, the spiritual power awakening saw the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Gene Map emerge, and upon awakening, the gene recombination progress was directly accelerated to ten percent."

"All transformations observed within the Gene Map are intrinsically linked to the advancement of my Hundred-Change Demon Ape."

"Let me examine the specific abilities of the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake."

Liang Yuan's focus promptly shifted to the detailed description of the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Gene Map.

[Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake]: Spirit-class Genetic Species, a dual-chain Spirit-class Gene Map. Its innate Talent Ability is known as 'One Body, Two Beasts'.

Carried Gene Skills include: Illusion Snake Pulse and Spiritual Cage.

Note: The 'One Body, Two Beasts' Talent Ability simultaneously integrates the capabilities of both the Spirit Turtle and the Illusion Snake.

"Illusion Snake Pulse, and Spiritual Cage..."

Liang Yuan meticulously reviewed the skills associated with these two distinct genes.

Illusion Snake Pulse: While in its Illusion Snake form, it possesses the capacity to emit potent spiritual pulses, designed to disrupt the enemy's cognitive processes, induce mental disorientation, fabricate illusions, and precipitate a collapse of the neural system.

Spiritual Cage: When assuming the Spirit Turtle form, it can erect a formidable spiritual cage, shaped like a turtle shell, serving a dual purpose of providing defense and effectively confining the enemy's spiritual consciousness.

These two skills are remarkably complementary: one targets the enemy's Sea of Consciousness, conjuring deceptive illusions.

The other acts to imprison the opponent while simultaneously safeguarding one's own Sea of Consciousness.

It's simply a perfect combination!

Liang Yuan's lips curved into a smile; he was exceedingly pleased with the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Genetic Species he had acquired.

"With this particular Genetic Species in my arsenal, I need not fear even when confronting formidable experts who wield Spirit-class Gene Maps."

At moments like these, Liang Yuan truly grasped the immense power inherent in his Hundred-Change Demon Ape Genetic Species.

"Considering my current repertoire of Gene Maps, I am well-equipped to navigate through the majority of emergent crises."

"Next, the focus shall be on enhancing the gene recombination progress."

"That is of utmost importance."

Liang Yuan understood that merely accumulating more Genetic Species would broaden the extent of one's abilities, bolster overall competence, nullify weaknesses, and clear out significant flaws.

However, only by advancing the gene recombination process could the ultimate ceiling of combat power truly be lifted.

Swish!

With a mere thought, Liang Yuan returned to the second level of the Spirit Gathering Tower.

Just as he was about to resume his isolated cultivation, he spotted Zhuang Shuyuan approaching with hurried steps, her expression etched with deep concern.

Upon witnessing this, Liang Yuan immediately paused, aware that ever since he had disciplined Zhuang Shuyuan the last time, she would not dare to pester him pointlessly again without a substantial reason.

Indeed, upon their meeting, Zhuang Shuyuan stated with gravity, "Urgent intelligence has arrived."

Liang Yuan's brow arched, "Proceed!"

"A dispatch from Furong Valley in Ji’an City indicates a large convoy of armored vehicles is en route to Yangshan, proclaiming to be from Mengya Company in Yu Province."

"Mr. Liang, do you happen to know anyone from Yu Province?"

Liang Yuan knitted his brows, "Yu Province? Mengya Company?"

"Did they specify their purpose for coming to Yangshan?"

"They claim it's for trade, but something about it feels amiss. Since when has Yangshan become so renowned that its fame has reached all the way to Yu Province?" Zhuang Shuyuan scoffed, her head shaking in disbelief.

Liang Yuan pondered the information and inquired, "What is their estimated strength?"

"Sources from the Hope Mercenary Corps report that the technological level of this armored contingent is exceptionally high, and they are fully equipped."

"The captain who made an appearance possesses a Main Attribute of no less than 100 points."

Liang Yuan's eyes narrowed subtly, sensing the brewing of a significant storm.
