Jinling was the City of the Three Kingdoms, and the nearby forces were on the frontline. Various BOSSes would drop biochemical materials, such as mutated biochemical metals and biochemical bodies, all of which were good materials for laboratories. Jinling's biochemical genetic technology was the best in the country.
A few months ago, the Beast Squad was strengthened here. Not only did they get biochemical armor, but they also used genetic potions to obtain biochemical Green Giant and Red Giant genes.
Xu Zilong's armor was made from the wings of the Demonic Winged Dragon and the skin and scales of the Evil Emperor Draconic Armored Beast. It was actually comparable to the Golden Saint Garment. That armor reflected the biochemical technology of the city.
"Mount?"
Lin Xi asked doubtfully, "The City of the Three Kingdoms. I remember that you can buy saddles in the item store in your city. The Matchless Three Kingdoms Saddle can summon famous horses such as Red Rabbit, Vanishing Shadow, and Yellow Claw Lightning. The city can also breed horses. What kind of special mount?"
Monster drops, evolution base exchanges, and evolved people's special bloodlines — in the apocalypse, the happiest people were probably the researchers and scientists. Jian Zhi had too much research to do.
The number of experts was limited, and their energy was also limited. Research projects had to be chosen carefully. Currently, the research projects in Shenzhen were Energy Weapons: Plasma and Wave Particle Weapons; Special Armor: Five Elemental Armor. However, since there were so many Legendary monsters around, there was a lot of armor that could be dropped, so this project was not very meaningful.
However, with the foundation of the Five Elements Armor and the mecha technology of the Rising Sun Empire, as well as the guidance of the Asian Venerable, everything else was temporarily put on hold.
Lin Xi could not understand. Biochemical genetic technology was the same as virus technology. It was said that the magical point was the password to unlock life. Now, the genetic medicine produced by the city could transform an ordinary person into a super human like Captain America.
Why did they make special mounts instead of focusing on the genetic project? It was unbelievable.
"Soldiers can increase their attributes when they level up, and generals can increase their attributes even more when they level up. You know, heavy cavalry is the strongest type of cold weapon army. Level 20 soldiers and generals are very strong, but their mounts can't keep up. "
Zhao Shiyi stretched out his hand and pointed at a soldier who was riding a big horse not far away. "Horses are too weak when facing monsters. They don't have much impact, and they can easily be frightened or even killed."
"Some of our city's military generals who have transitioned are unwilling to ride horses when they go out to fight monsters. Some of them even ride motorcycles into battle and look down on horses … Without a mount, military generals are unable to unleash the battle prowess of heavy weapons!"
After sighing, he said excitedly, "The mount that we've cultivated this time, Jian Zhi is perfect!"
"What kind of mount is it?" Lin Xi asked.
"Haha, the city is currently reorganizing the army. There will be a big military parade tomorrow. You'll know when you see it."
"A military parade before the war? Don't worry, I won't participate. I have no interest in inspecting the troops or whatever — Hello, comrades, you've worked hard. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. "
"Alright."
Zhao Shiyi was helpless against Lin Xi's lack of respect. He called a few welcome cars and asked the receptionists to arrange accommodation for the people of Shen City during their stay in Jinling City. As for Su Hongying, her previous manor was still preserved.
After arranging for the girls to stay, Lin Xi's real body was hidden in the King's Treasure's space. Shirai Kuroko, who was walking outside, was brought by Zhao Shiyi to see the special mount.
"What the hell?"
On the horse farm in Jinling City, he saw a strange creature.
It was about the same height as a horse, but much longer. It had a gray carapace. It was a shrimp that had been magnified countless times! Or was it a mantis shrimp? Could this thing be used as a mount? What a joke!
However, Lin Xi did see a group of generals. Each of them was holding a seven-meter-long dragon spear, the weapon used by the dragon knights in the fantasy world. They were wearing iron armor and riding on the back of the mantis shrimp. They were making a shocking charge, causing dust to fly and the ground to tremble.
"Mantis shrimp, let's go!"
A dark-faced burly man let out a loud roar. This burly man, who looked similar to Zhang Fei, was not holding a dragon spear, but a five-meter-long mountain-splitting axe. The surface of the axe was even bigger than a door!
As he shouted, the mantis shrimp he was sitting on quickly crawled. It was so fast that it almost left behind afterimages — even a thousand-li horse couldn't run at such a speed. As the mantis shrimp ran, the general chopped the stone man in front of him into pieces with his axe.
Lin Xi noticed that the mantis shrimp, which was extremely fast, was different from other shrimps. It was red in color.
"That's right, it's a mantis shrimp." Zhao Shiyi said proudly, "Our city's Academy of Science decided to breed mutant mounts. After solving the problem of heavy cavalry, they tried many species and finally chose the mantis shrimp. Don't look down on this creature.
"There's a reason why they chose the mantis shrimp. In terms of attack, speed, and defense, the mantis shrimp has a pair of powerful pincers that can shatter glass and snap bones. Its attack speed is second only to the jaws of the soldier ants, and it has calcified armor for defense.
"This creature is fierce, has sharp vision, and is good at swimming. Their prey are all kinds of shellfish and sea urchins. Even crabs and lobsters with armor will be hunted by the mantis shrimp. Its two pincers can easily destroy the nervous system of the crab, killing it instantly!
"Some mantis shrimp have palm-like appendages and are good at defense. In battle, they hide behind a shield formed by their curled tails to block the enemy. Some mantis shrimp are good at attacking. They have a pair of hammers hidden under their bodies that can be shot at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
"When attacking their prey, they can eject the hammers in one-hundred-thousandth of a second. The force of impact can reach a maximum of 60 kilograms. The high temperature generated by the friction can even cause electric sparks in the surrounding water!
"Even an animal that is ten times larger and heavier than it might not be able to defeat a mantis shrimp. Think about it, if this creature mutates into a giant mount that is close to ten meters long and two meters tall, what kind of effect would it have? Ferghana horses and even red rabbits are nothing compared to it! "
Lin Xi watched the generals fight on the mantis shrimps. He found that these giant shrimps looked very powerful after they mutated. They had thick shells, powerful pincers, and extremely fast reflexes and speed. This reminded him of the Three-headed Abyssal Lizard that he had exchanged before.
Apart from the fact that their vitality was far inferior to that of the Three-headed Abyssal Lizard, they were not inferior to it in other aspects. A greenish-gray mantis shrimp could be exchanged for at least 10,000 yuan at the evolution base …
"Some generals can't even compare to a mantis shrimp. The Mantis Shrimp Cavalry Army is the secret weapon of Jinling City. It's a pity that up until now, they have only formed an army of about 100 mantis shrimps as a trump card against the army of Shadow Island."
Zhao Shiyi raised his hand and pointed at the red mantis shrimp. "As for the red mantis shrimp of different colors, do you see it? It has an extremely sharp horn on its head. This is a red horned mantis shrimp that was bred using the genes of the Biochemical Red Giant.
"Its speed is three times that of an ordinary mantis shrimp! When it charges at full speed, the impact of the horn is very terrifying!
"In addition, these mantis shrimps are amphibious. In the future, if we fight against the Rising Sun Empire on the sea, the mantis shrimp army will also be useful."
"Not bad indeed."
Lin Xi nodded. The experts in Jin Ling City could think of using mantis shrimps to breed mutated mounts, it was really a good idea. Amphibious, with its own armor and pincers, it guaranteed attack and defense. Below its body, there were centipede-like legs — although it only had sixteen legs, it could still guarantee speed.
This was a mount without any flaws!
"Shadow Island, the undead. Now, the undead have developed into advanced undead creatures, such as Black Knights and Headless Knights. Those knights ride on Skeleton Horses or Nightmares. Ordinary horses can't even stand when they are rushed by the aura of death. Mantis shrimps are fierce and don't fear them at all."
"It's a pity that there are only 100 of them. The undead army has at least millions, or even tens of millions … The number difference is too big. If there were tens of thousands of them … sigh …"
"Hehe."
Lin Xi smiled. "It's already very good to be able to breed 100 of them in such a short time."
"Yes …" Zhao Shiyi sighed. "Tens of thousands of them … We might not even be able to breed them in half a year. Uh, I didn't ask you to come here just to see the Mantis Shrimp Army. "
"You are the governor of Shen City. You have a high status and are a super strong person. Inviting you to come and help is necessary. When the Academy of Sciences was breeding the Mantis Shrimp Army, a super mutant appeared. If we use Digimon to describe it, the ordinary Mantis Shrimp is the mature stage, the red Mantis Shrimp is the complete form, and that one is the ultimate form!"
"In order to win you over and at the same time, to apologize for Xu Zilong's trouble again and again, they are going to give you that Mantis Shrimp as a gift."
Lin Xi waved his hand. "I'm not interested in the mount. Besides, I don't lack mounts. You can keep the Mantis Shrimp for yourself. I don't want to ride a shrimp to fight. It's too depressing."
"Wait, take a look at what it is first."
Seeing Zhao Shiyi's mysterious expression, Lin Xi was speechless. He took out a Pokeball and opened it. In the light, a silver dragon appeared in the sky. It had white silk-like fins, and it was surrounded by whirlwinds and clouds. It also had the power of a dragon. This was a pet that was beautiful and powerful at the same time.
Lin Xi still had the golden feather in his space bracelet. If he could summon the four golden dragons, it would be even more amazing.
Seeing the Mist Dragon, Zhao Shiyi still looked confident. "You are the Mist Dragon, right? You have four golden dragons … Don't be surprised. Jinling definitely has spies in Shen City. Not only in Jinling, but in other special cities as well … However, that Mantis Shrimp is definitely not weaker than the golden dragons!
"The golden dragons only have a metal body. That Mantis Shrimp has a diamond body! It is very compatible with your diamond supernatural ability. This is also why the higher-ups immediately thought of you when the Mantis Shrimp mutated. "
He made a phone call. Not long after, a posthuman trotted over and handed over a Pokeball respectfully.
Zhao Shiyi took the Pokeball. When the Pokeball was opened, the light that bloomed at that moment made some of the generals nearby cover their eyes! Blinding, it was too blinding!
Lin Xi's eyes widened. The Mantis Shrimp that appeared in front of him made him speechless! If the other Mantis Shrimps were just ordinary cars, this Mantis Shrimp was definitely a luxury supercar! Its diamond-like shell shone dazzlingly under the sun.
Diamond glittering Mantis Shrimp!
It was about the same size as an ordinary Mantis Shrimp. It was almost two meters tall and eight to ten meters long. Its body was covered in diamond-like armor and its giant pincers were also made of diamonds. If it was in the Soul Eater World, it would definitely be a powerful Aragami that was deeply infected with the Oracle cells!
"Your Mist Dragon is a flying pet, and this Diamond Glittering Luxury Mantis Shrimp is amphibious. These two pets can be used in different environments. As for their combat power …"
Zhao Shiyi smiled bitterly. "Even I can't beat it … Needless to say, you should know how strong the diamond shell is. It was not damaged by missiles. To be honest, if it was not for Xu Zilong making a fuss and fearing that you might have thoughts of revenge, those guys would not have given such a pet away."
"You must know that if we rely on the Red Giant Gene, there's still a possibility of continuing to nurture the red horned mantis shrimp. However, the diamond-flashing mantis shrimp is a product of random mutation caused by genetic potions. It's impossible to replicate it.
"That's right."
Lin Xi was not interested in ordinary Mantis Shrimp and red Mantis Shrimp. However, the Diamond Glittering Mantis Shrimp was a pet with a diamond body. Coupled with its huge size, it had super strength, defense, and vitality. Such a pet would definitely not reject it.
"By the way, how is Xu Zilong now?" Back then, he wanted to kill that guy, but he escaped when the Eight Heroes attacked.
"I don't know. He disappeared without a word, just like a few months ago. Could he have gone into seclusion to cultivate some peerless technique again?" Zhao Shiyi shrugged.
"Could he have gone to cultivate the Heterosexual Path again?"
Lin Xi was only joking because it was absolutely impossible. He jumped on the Mantis Shrimp and found that the back of the shell was very smooth. When he touched it with his hands, it really felt like a diamond. He hit it with his fists. Shiranui Kuroko's physical strength was not weak. His fists hurt, but there was no crack on the shell.
"How do I drive this thing?"
"It is a mutated creature. Its brain has also mutated. It can understand some of Jian Dan's commands. It is equivalent to a low-level intelligent creature. You just need to shout." Zhao Shiyi pointed at the generals on the horse field who were training on the Mantis Shrimp. "Just like them."
"Mantis Shrimp, let's go — Mantis Shrimp, stop — Mantis Shrimp, the direction is wrong — the password is very Jian Dan."
"Okay."
Lin Xi nodded, then looked at the Diamond Glittering Mantis Shrimp he was sitting on. "This name is too common …" At this moment, he thought of the pet Pokémon that had died tragically under the Hundred Poison Golden Cicada Gu. "Well, in memory of that goat, I will name this Diamond Mantis Shrimp Pokémon …"
"Pokémon, let's go!"
