Five years ago, Song Yu had been a researcher with a bright future in the monster research center.
His research topic was how to extract the life essence from monster cells and inject it into the human body to induce a mutation in the human genes that had been asleep for billions of years so that they could obtain the abilities of monsters.
Ever since Earthlings transmigrated to the Other World and discovered monsters, which were carbon-based creatures that defied common sense, they had never stopped searching for ways to use monsters efficiently and scientifically.
Killing monsters, eating their flesh, drinking their blood, and absorbing the spirit energy contained in their crystal cores to refine human bodies was one path.
Killing the monsters, eating their flesh, drinking their blood, and absorbing the spirit energy contained in the monster crystal cores to refine the human body of steel was one path.
Taming and modifying monsters and implanting control chips in the monsters' brains to turn wild and wild beasts into biochemical pets that obeyed orders was another path.
Sensing, simulating, and absorbing monsters' vitality magnetic fields to use beast souls to fight was another path.
Geniuses like Gao Ye thought about transferring human souls into monsters' brains and nervous systems was another path.
Song Yu took the fifth path.
Once he analyzed and compared human genes and monster genes, he found that they were not fundamentally different. Instead, they were very similar, and it was definitely not a coincidence.
The genetic similarity between Earthlings and certain falcon-type and liger-type monsters was even higher than the genetic similarity between Earthlings and the falcon-type and liger-type monsters on Earth.
No matter what the reason for this phenomenon was.
At the very least, it meant that as long as the human genes were "bombarded" correctly, they could release the primordial power that had been asleep for billions of years. It would then allow a helpless normal person to instantly transform and gain the strength of a monster.
If Meng Chao could successfully create this transformation fighting system …
There was no doubt that it could be promoted to all Earthlings on a large scale compared to the spirit energy fighting system that required them to train for a long period of time.
Song Yu researched it without eating or sleeping.
Gradually, he was on the verge of spirit energy deviation.
In fact, when he ran into a bottleneck in his research and did not get permission, he secretly extracted monster cell essence and created a gene inducer to experiment on himself.
Song Yu partially succeeded.
He had indeed used the cell essence of falcon-type monsters to activate similar gene segments in the human body. He grew a pair of wide wings and obtained the vision, speed, and fierceness of falcon-type monsters.
But on another level, he also failed.
He could not control the invasion of monster cells on the human body, and he could not steadily release the power of monsters. He also did not expect something that should be common sense.
Unlike mammals.
Most falcon-type monsters did not have external reproductive organs.
In any case, while Song Yu obtained strength, the falcon-type monster cells seemed to have made him pay a price that no normal man would be willing to pay.
Song Yu was originally tall, handsome, and very popular with the opposite sex. He also had a happy family.
Because of the transformation experiment, his family broke up.
In the circle of friends of the opposite sex, some inconceivable and strange news gradually spread.
On the surface, Song Yu was still the same as before. As a high-ranking researcher in the monster research center, he was respected and had a transcendent status.
In reality, his mind was gradually distorted due to the abnormality of his organs.
Three years ago, dozens of women in Dragon City were brutally attacked when they walked at night. The crime scene was a horrible sight to behold.
Based on the terrifying pecks and lacerations on the corpses, the secret police were certain that the monsters that had wandered into Dragon City had done this.
Then, a girl who had just reached Spirit Tattoo Realm and possessed a certain amount of fighting strength was attacked on her way home from the cultivation field at night. A few of her fellow disciples who were training with her had not gone far.
When they heard the news and rushed over, they saw Song Yu's incredibly twisted face.
While the girl struggled, she pulled off a feather that had the characteristics of Song Yu's genes.
When the truth was revealed, everyone burst into an uproar. Song Yu's reputation was ruined, and he could only use his lightning speed to flee Dragon City before the secret police and bounty hunters surrounded his house.
Originally, everyone thought that he was hiding in the depths of the foggy forest.
They did not expect that the demon in human skin would turn around and quietly flee back to Dragon City. He was hiding in Leprosy Village in Golden Tooth Lair.
"Those bastards actually betrayed humans and ended up as the monsters' claws?"
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li cursed.
The hunters found it unbelievable as well.
But Meng Chao was not surprised.
The Earthlings of this era still had a very narrow concept toward humans. They also had a simple feeling that humans and intelligent non-humans could not coexist with each other.
But before long, the magnificent Other World battlefield would be opened to Earthlings, and dozens of demi-humans, humanoid humans, and intelligent non-humans would appear one after another.
For the sake of survival, the unworthy Earthlings would betray civilization and join the elves, the vampires, and all sorts of strange orcs and demons.
Similarly, the elf princes, orc warlords, and abject magicians who lost in the fights between factions would join Earthlings and use their magic, race skills, and inborn divine arts in exchange for Earthlings' rocket launchers and main battle tanks. In fact, they would even lead the way for Earthlings and slaughter their way back to their homeland.
Lost people like Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, and Ghost Eagle Song Yu had committed unforgivable, heinous crimes, and it was impossible for them to be accepted by normal society.
Since the monsters had learned from humans and built their own civilization, they would definitely look for helpers and even teachers from human society.
It was only natural for both sides to work together.
Meng Chao only wanted to know how many other infamous lost people were hiding in Leprosy Village aside from the three wanted criminals.
The camera on the biochemical rat's back spun. It did not capture more lost people, but it did capture Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang opening a storage cabinet.
A sea of green light instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Just … how many Deification Capsules are there?!" Everyone was dumbfounded, and their skins crawled.
There were neat rows of metal racks in the storage cabinet. Each rack had strings of crystalline and green Deification Capsules hanging on them.
There were at least one hundred Deification Capsules on each rack.
And there were nearly one hundred racks in the storage cabinet.
"More than ten thousand Deification Capsules!"
No one dared to imagine how much damage it would cause to Dragon City's social order if these ten thousand Deification Capsules flowed out of Leprosy Village or even the lair, allowing the ten thousand robbers to temporarily possess supernatural abilities.
The battle at the borders of Dragon City was not something that could be fought over a few days and nights.
First, they had to repeatedly whittle down the monsters' fighting power and aggression through positional warfare, trench warfare, and even street warfare in certain areas. They also had to accurately control the Apocalyptic Beasts' nests and movements. Only then could they mobilize their fighting power in secret and gather Deity Realm superhumans to deliver a destructive blow.
Two years ago, the northern offense from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves had lasted for a full half a year.
This time, the battle to defend Dragon City might last for one to three months.
During this period of time, the stability and order in Dragon City might be the key to victory at the frontlines.
Besides, what they saw might not be all the Deification Capsules the enemy had created.
And the enemy's medicine production line was still operating at full speed. With every second, more Deification Capsules were created.
When they thought of this, the veteran hunters and club members instinctively clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
The three criminals — Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, and Ghost Eagle Song Yu — seemed to have sensed danger and tension in the air.
They brought out silver-white metal cylinders and poured mithril-based stabilizing fluid into them. Then, they carefully placed the strings of Deification Capsules into them, tightened the caps, and stuffed them into their backpacks.
The three of them moved swiftly. Soon, dozens of metal cylinders filled with Deification Capsules were packed up.
"No, they're going to run," Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong said.
"The mastermind knows that this place has been exposed, so he wants the three criminals to take the Deification Capsules they created and move.
We can't wait any longer. We have to stop them before they escape! "
According to the map they had just drawn, as well as the group's current location, the hunters quickly planned their attack route.
They were all old comrades who had fought together for more than twenty years in the fog. With just one glance, they knew how to work together.
Meng Chao suggested to Zhou Chong that the environment in Leprosy Village was complicated and the situation was unclear. It would be best if they left a reserve team behind so that they could act according to the situation.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong's fighting style was fierce, but he was not rash. He thought about it for a while before he took Meng Chao's suggestion and split the veteran hunters into two teams. The powerful fighters from the gangs were in the middle, and they attacked in three waves.
"Meng Chao, you've just reached Heaven Realm, and you've never worked with us before. Why don't you serve as the rearguard? It'll be safer that way," Zhou Chong suggested.
"Senior Zhou, I appreciate your good will, but since I was the one who discovered the first Deification Capsule, there's no reason for me to run away. I'll definitely drag out the mastermind and blast him to smithereens!" Meng Chao said firmly.
Zhou Chong's eyes shone with admiration. He no longer wasted his breath and spoke murderously in the communication channel. "Five seconds later, we'll take action. Pay attention to speed and hide. Try to get as close to the Deification Capsule pharmacy as possible before we launch the ambush. Remember, if you run into any obstacles or resistance, kill them all!"
In an instant, the aura of all the hunters gathered together.
It was as if a burning flame had gathered together to form a cold blade.
They were like dozens of silent arrows that shot toward Leprosy Village from all directions at lightning speed.
The moat, which was filled with rotten trash, was naturally not a problem for the Heaven Realm superhumans.
The colorful fog that surrounded Leprosy Village all year long was as thick as ink. While it covered the entirety of Leprosy Village, it also became the hunters' best camouflage.
The hunters only used half a second to crawl into the fog and jump to the roofs of the buildings around Leprosy Village. They did not attract anyone's attention.
