Every word was like a falling metal stone.
Clearly, Feng Lin had already made up his mind. He wouldn't change his mind.
Plans couldn't keep up with changes.
He deeply understood the principle that if one did not make a decision, one would only end up in trouble.
Due to the lack of time, the plan during the day had already failed, and now they had to improvise.
Otherwise, if they wasted a night's time, they would have to start all over again the next day.
The exam only lasted for ten days. Time was limited, so they had to obtain a higher score in the shortest time possible. Only then would they be able to shake off the gap between them and the other candidates.
Although Feng Lin wasn't walking on the Athena Mythological Path and didn't have the monstrous intelligence of an A.I., he had a very deep understanding of himself and had his own plans.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Although Feng Lin had made it clear enough, when Aris heard it, she instinctively retorted, "Do you think this place is as simple as a tiger's den? This is the aberration mother nest! It's much more terrifying than a tiger's den! "
However, Feng Lin's next sentence made her speechless.
"But we're not ordinary humans either, are we?"
Yes!
The mother nest was far more formidable than a tiger's den.
However, they were not ordinary humans. Otherwise, what was the point of cultivating?
Aris wanted to retort, but she couldn't find a reason to do so. She could only look to her sister for help.
However, Yana's next words caused her to widen her eyes.
"You're right! Now was indeed the time when the defense of the broodmother nest was at its weakest. It was the perfect time to sneak in, and the success rate was much higher than the plan during the day. Furthermore, there's a separate space inside the nest that allows us to avoid the cold. " From the moment she heard Feng Lin's decision, Yana's brows were tightly furrowed as she sank into contemplation. Her brain spun rapidly as she considered the pros and cons before giving an affirmative answer.
"Big sister …" Seeing that her big sister had also gone back on her words, Aris immediately panicked.
Yana shook her head and said, "Aris, although the plan I came up with before is good, it can't keep up with the changes in the current situation. We have to act according to the situation. The world was infinite, and the variables were infinite. No matter how good a plan was, it wasn't perfect. No matter how high one's intelligence is, one's heart can never compare to fate! "
She voted to agree to Feng Lin's suggestion, and this matter was settled just like that.
Ares had no way to resist. He could only glare angrily at Feng Lin, his face filled with reluctance.
As expected of Yana's intelligence that far surpassed ordinary people. Although she agreed to Feng Lin's suggestion, she instantly thought of more details to perfect this plan.
"Although the cold night is when the defenses of the aberration mother nest are at its weakest, we can't rush things. Right now, night had just fallen on Asura Planet, and the temperature hadn't completely dropped yet. The aberrations hadn't entered the deepest state of hibernation yet, hence, they were extremely cautious. "If we go in now, we'll be walking right into a trap. We have to enter when the temperature is at its lowest in the middle of the night and pounce toward the aberration queen with lightning speed, killing her! Once we succeed, the aberrations in the mother nest will fall into chaos, and we will be able to slaughter them … "
Her calm words were filled with biting cold killing intent.
"Is this the alien version of the decapitation plan?" Feng Lin fell into deep thought.
"Alright!" With that, the three of them reached a consensus.
Boundless darkness gushed forth from the sky like tidal waves, drowning the earth. What accompanied it was an intense coldness that could freeze everything.
Feng Lin's group of three dug a huge hole in the ground and hid inside like groundhogs. They blocked the exit, leaving only the air vent open.
They were like the most experienced hunters, enduring the vile environment just to give their prey a fatal blow.
Although the soil layer was thick and the wind couldn't enter, the coldness still seeped in.
Yana's originally weak body felt even more unbearable. She was like a delicate flower in the cold wind, trembling uncontrollably as her countenance turned pale.
However, she still didn't make a sound, displaying a determination that was different from her appearance.
Ares, who had always been reckless, also displayed a gentleness that was different from before. She hugged her elder sister in her arms and used her body warmth to warm her up.
Her body radiated a tyrannical aura that turned corporeal, forming a barrier that protected Yana from the coldness. Only then did Yana's countenance turn much better.
Feng Lin felt increasingly puzzled.
Athena was one of the few powerful gods in Greece. Since Yana was walking on this mythological path, why was her body so weak?
But this was her private matter after all. He wouldn't probe too much.
Feng Lin didn't pay too much attention to it. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, circulating his qi and blood to resist the coldness.
The extreme coldness of negative 100 degrees could even crystallize metals. Everything would shatter if they landed on the ground, let alone a body that was so fragile.
A faint jade-colored glow appeared on Feng Lin's skin. It was like an invisible barrier that blocked the coldness outside, not allowing it to seep in at all.
He took out a gene hypophysis he had harvested from an aberration and swallowed it. The meat transformed into energy, and the qi and blood in his body were like boiling lava, circulating unceasingly.
Genetic potential + 58%, + 58%, + 58% … His genetic potential increased by 290% in one go.
Feng Lin didn't hesitate. His will locked onto the gene that he had neglected before, and his genetic potential flowed into it.
Gene: Adrenaline Gene
Grade: Perfect-grade Basic Gene
Strengthening Tally: 4
Ability: Bullet Time (Secretes adrenaline, stimulates thinking speed)
The strengthening tally of the Adrenaline Gene reached 4 points, and the duration increased from 20 seconds to 80 seconds.
Entering deep into the aberration mother nest, every bit of strength was extremely valuable. He had to adjust himself to his peak state.
Due to the principle of having no regrets in strengthening, Feng Lin didn't strengthen the Adrenaline Gene because he wasn't sure what path this gene should take in the future.
If he added too many points, he wouldn't be able to have no regrets.
Hence, Feng Lin had been putting it aside. But now, he couldn't care so much.
Strengthening it to 4 points wasn't too much nor too little. It was just right.
If he were to take another path in the future, he wouldn't need to strengthen the genetic variables above 4 points. Clearly, there wouldn't be any future for him, and it wouldn't be a pity to give it up.
The stronger the gene, the higher the requirement for strengthening the genetic variables.
This was the most universal rule in the universe.
Only by accumulating could one flourish!
Adding points to a gene's strengthening was equivalent to expanding one's foundation. The more points one added, the stronger one's foundation would be.
This was also why Feng Lin's Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene, which were both low-grade basic genes, could evolve into a mutated primeval gene, the Stone Monkey Gene.
Only by accumulating water could it form a flood that could drown everything.
The same logic applied to gene evolution.
The night gradually darkened. There were no signs of life on Asura Planet, and the atmosphere was filled with a somber killing intent.
Feng Lin suddenly opened his eyes.
Everything was prepared. He was only missing one thing.
In the middle of the night, it wasn't as if the two sisters had done nothing. They changed into a set of interstellar warriors' combat attire.
Clearly, they had spatial equipment on them. These combat attires could effectively isolate heat and cold, but the design was a little strange. There was a strange silver star rune on their clothes that emitted a bloody aura.
Feng Lin tactfully didn't ask too much. Regardless of where these combat attires came from, it had nothing to do with him.
The three of them nodded and walked out of the pit.
There was no moon on Asura Planet. During the night, everything was pitch-black, and one wouldn't be able to see their fingers if they stretched out their hands.
The mountain cave where the aberration mother nest was located grew increasingly dark and terrifying. The darkness of the cave was like an invisible mouth, like a bottomless pit that wanted to devour humans.
Wu ~
A gust of cold wind blew over, causing Feng Lin and the two sisters to instinctively shiver.
The bitter cold of negative 100 degrees Celsius caused even water vapor to turn into ice crystals. Everything in the world was covered in layers of frost.
The devil nest was right before their eyes. It was dark and deep, and there were faint sounds of roaring coming from the cold wind. It was like a bottomless pit that wanted to devour the human world.
Feng Lin and the two sisters carefully entered. The passageway was damp and cold, emitting a thick stench of rotting flesh, causing one to feel nauseous.
The three of them weren't ordinary people. They frowned slightly and directly walked in.
Sha sha sha …
The deeper they went, a strange noise drifted over, causing them to feel extremely vexed.
After passing through the many turns in the passageway, the three of them soon entered a gigantic dark cave.
"Shh!" Feng Lin's heart stirred. He suddenly made a shushing gesture and pointed upward.
The Greek sisters glanced over and couldn't help but hold their breaths. Above their heads, they saw a group of densely packed meatballs crawling on top of each other, squirming non-stop. They were like a flock of bats, and their eyes gleamed with red light. They were clearly the basic aberration type, facehuggers.
There were tens of thousands of them, so many that they couldn't even count them. This caused their scalps to turn numb.
Even though they were interstellar cultivators, if they were to alarm so many monsters, they would be instantly drowned out. It would be hard for them to escape.
The three of them retracted all their auras and silently left, heading toward the depths of the mother nest.
The structure of this mother nest was like a beehive, extending in all directions, forming a three-dimensional spatial structure. The paths were chaotic, like a maze.
The huge mountain had been completely dug out by these aberrations.
Feng Lin's spirit force swept out. It was as if he could see through everything, looking at this maze from a god's perspective. There were no obstructions at all.
Through the layers of barriers, he could sense a powerful life force fluctuation above his head. It was extremely intense.
That place should be where the aberration queen was.
However, spirit force scanning was different from sight. There was no way for him to see the aberration queen directly. He could only get closer to know the true appearance of the aberration queen.
"Follow me!" Feng Lin gestured and led the two sisters toward the direction of the aberration queen.
"Quickly look!" Suddenly, Yana let out a soft cry. Many oval cocoon-like objects hung above their heads. They were translucent and could faintly see malevolent-looking figures. They were clearly all aberrations. Messengers, sentries … there were all sorts of aberrations.
Feng Lin could sense that their thoughts had already entered a dead state, like rocks. He didn't notice them and didn't discover them.
He exchanged a mutual glance with Yana and instantly had an idea.
Chi, chi, chi.
Feng Lin's spirit force transformed into small invisible swords that pierced through the air, piercing into the minds of the aberrations. They no longer had any signs of life.
Yana also made a move. Her spirit force transformed into golden arrows, completely destroying the thoughts of the aberrations.
These aberrations entered a state of hibernation and were like live targets. They had no way to resist and could be easily killed by Feng Lin and the other two.
Spirit force was formless and formless, capable of killing thoughts. There was no movement and no abnormalities.
These were all points that they had obtained. There was no difficulty at all.
This could be considered as entering the tiger's den and obtaining the tiger's cub!
However, Feng Lin and the other two didn't waste any time. After killing these hidden dangers, they headed straight for the queen.
Assassinating the queen was the most important thing. Everything else was secondary.
The deeper they went in, the higher the temperature in the mother nest rose, reaching negative 80 degrees celsius.
The chill lessened, but Feng Lin and the other two weren't happy.
This wasn't a good thing!
When the temperature rose, it meant that the life activities were more active. The hibernation of these aberrations would also be shallower, and it would be more difficult to sneak in.
Feng Lin, Yana, and the other two exchanged a mutual glance. They could see the wariness and heaviness in each other's eyes.
Just like what they had expected, the deeper they went, the stranger the atmosphere became. It was dead silent, and even the rustling sounds of the facehuggers had disappeared.
It was as if there were countless terrifying monsters hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce out at any moment and tear them into pieces.
Swoosh!
A black shadow flashed by, so fast that one couldn't even catch it with their eyes.
Feng Lin's body instinctively flashed and he rapidly chased after it. He saw an aberration that was over three meters tall and covered in carapace hiding in the darkness. Its entire body was black, perfectly blending in with the environment. Only its eyes were staring at Feng Lin and the other two, filled with cruelty and ferocity.
This was clearly an aberration!
At the next instant, it opened its mouth, wanting to let out a cry.
Feng Lin's expression changed. "Grow!"
He grabbed the cudgel in his hand. The metal cudgel rapidly lengthened and instantly pierced into the aberration's mouth, blocking its throat and causing it to be unable to make any sound.
Bang!
Ares was also extremely ferocious. He leaped over and his fists were covered in black tyrant qi, smashing down like huge hammers. The aberration's head was instantly crushed, and it died silently. The other aberrations in the mother nest weren't alerted.
"When we reached the region with high temperature, those aberrations also started to become active. This is already the interior of the mother nest, and there are some high-level aberrations here. We have to be careful. " The three of them had heavy expressions and increased their speed, heading toward the direction of the aberration queen. The wariness in their hearts was raised to the extreme.
They discovered that there was an aberration lurking at every corner of the mother nest, and the security was extremely tight.
The three of them joined forces and killed the aberrations with the fastest speed and the smallest commotion, heading toward the center of the mother nest.
Finally, the scene before their eyes opened up as they entered a huge cave that was like a spider web. Many thick tentacles covered the surroundings.
A terrifying monster that was over ten meters tall was entrenched there. It had malevolent-looking tentacles and sharp claws, and there was a huge reproductive organ at its tail that kept on squirming.
"Kill!" At the instant they saw the aberration queen, Feng Lin and the other two directly rushed over.
The metal cudgel rapidly transformed, becoming like a heavenly pillar that smashed down heavily.
Their mental energy transformed into golden arrows, aiming to slash at the spirit.
Their tyrant qi transformed into long spears, wanting to pierce through everything before them.
…
The three of them unleashed their strongest techniques, wanting to kill the aberration queen instantly. They didn't want to give her any chance to react.
Seeing that their lives were in danger, the gigantic aberration monster entrenched there let out a shrill howl.
Six black shadows appeared, blocking before Feng Lin and the other two. Their bodies were smashed into smithereens, and their acidic blood splattered on the ground, causing sizzling sounds to ring out as it corroded the ground.
The three of them were blocked by the aberrations that didn't care about their lives. The moment they landed, they discovered that a group of terrifying black shadows had unknowingly surrounded them.
Feng Lin glanced at the surroundings, and his heart involuntarily sank to the bottom.
This was a group of aberrations covered in black carapace. Their bodies were slender and malevolent, and they were filled with explosive explosive power.
Their powerful crowns were as sturdy as shields, and their bodies were as demonic as demons. They were like the most loyal guards protecting their queen.
