“Biomodified beasts? What do you an?”
Lin Feng felt that if even Longbetham was worried, things were not looking good.
“The rats you encountered previously were actually not born dire beasts, but artificially created. They are called bomodified beasts. Do you understand now?”
Lin Feng’s expression beca sombre. No wonder he found these rats very strange. They clearly had venom that could threaten tamorphic Realm martial artists, but their physique was inferior to those demons in all aspects.
So they were artificially created. But could lifeforms actually be created by humans?
“You an that this ruin belongs to the seventh civilization, and this seventh civilization can already create lifeforms?”
Lin Feng could not hide the shock in his voice. However, he was only communicating with Longbetham in his mind. None of the others noticed Lin Feng.
“Creating biomodified beasts and creating lifeforms are two completely different things. Let put it this way. These biomodified beasts were actually made from combining the genes of many dire beasts. Then, through mutation, they implanted so highly venomous genes. After tens of thousands of experints, they finally succeeded in creating these rat biomodified beasts. This is completely different from creating lifeforms out of thin air.”
“So, the seventh civilization was very good at genetic research?”
“They were indeed very good. At least, they were far better than your current technology level. However, their research direction was off the mark. They actually want to mutate and create so bizarre biomodified beasts. The human body itself is a huge treasure trove. Instead of studying the mysteries of the human body carefully, they turned to studying those dire beasts, and even mutated dire beasts. Their civilization might have flourished on the surface, but in reality, their potential was far inferior to your current civilization.”
Lin Feng also cald down. He thought carefully and continued to ask, “Then what’s the trouble you ntioned earlier?”
“Although the potential of the seventh civilization was inferior to yours, they were already very well-developed. They had even developed terrifying biomodified beasts on par with lifeforms with three life transitions. This ruin should be an experintal research institute of theirs back then. I do not know what kind of terrifying biomodified beasts are inside either.”
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. The rats just now were already very terrifying. He only happened to counter those rats. If those rats could destroy his Armor and Petrification Technique, he would definitely be in a sorry state, or even in danger.
Apart from him, the other eight martial artists were all helpless against those rats. However, according to Longbetham, these rats were only low-level biomodified beasts, and not comparable to those demons at all.
If they encountered many biomodified demons, they would really be in serious trouble.
“Longbetham, we have to complete this mission no matter what. We’re preparing to go to the control room. Once we reach the control room, can you control the entire research institute? At least turn off the defense chanism of the research institute and allow the two Sages to send experts over.”
Lin Feng knew very well that whether they could take over the control room was very important. He did not know anything about the seventh civilization at all. The other eight martial artists were all similar to Lin Feng. Even if they found the control room, they might not be able to take over it.
However, things were different with Longbetham. As a mber of a chanical civilization, which was among the best of technological civilizations, and as a chanical lifeform at that, Longbetham should know a lot about technological things.
Although this seventh civilization was a biomodified beast civilization, it was still a technological civilization.
Longbetham was uncertain, and gave no affirmative answer.
“If you really find the control room, I shall give it a try, but I cannot guarantee that I can take over the control room. Although I am a chanical life form, I am not omnipotent. I am not confident that I can take over the control room imdiately in a very short period of ti.”
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Longbetham did not refuse.
Longbetham would definitely be able to control the control room, but he needed ti. Lin Feng did not know what dangers there were in this ruin, and ti was what he lacked the most.
“By the way, Longbetham, do you know the location of the control room?”
“Did you not see the map earlier?”
“That map is so complicated. I can’t understand it either.”
“Keep walking. I will remind you.”
Lin Feng opened his eyes and realized that Griman, Fu Lin, and the others had already recovered their Astral Power.
“Leader, are you all right?” Fu Lin ca before Lin Feng and asked with concern.
“I am fine. My Astral Power has been fully restored.”
At this mont, Griman was walking near the corridor. He seed hesitant, as if he was about to say sothing before stopping himself.
“Griman, what do you want to say?”
Griman pondered for a mont and said, “I was just thinking, what exactly does this ruin trying to do? Is it a shelter? Or so secret base or sothing like that. Later, I saw those rat dire beasts. Where did so many rats co from? They don’t look like dire beasts either. There are so many of them. How do they survive?”
Hearing Griman’s analysis, the other martial artists’ eyes also lit up. That’s right, the appearance of those rats was too strange.
“Griman, what do you think?”
“My thought is that these rats may be guards or sothing in this ruin. Or rather, they’re actually the defensive chanisms. And I suspect that this ruin is sothing like a research institute.”
“Research institute?”
The others thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.
Lin Feng glanced at Griman in surprise. He did not expect Griman to figure out that this was a research institute.
“All right, regardless of whether this is a research institute or not, our goal is to find the control room. The rats just now have already proven that there are probably other worse dire beasts in this ruin. Everyone must be careful. If everyone’s Astral Power has recovered, we’ll set off imdiately to continue searching for the control room.”
Everyone also expressed their assent. tamorphic Realm martial artists with Astral Power did not fear any danger at all.
This ti, all the martial artists were no longer sparing with Astral Power. They covered their entire bodies with Astral Power. Even if they encountered any unexpected situations, they would not die without any resistance like Sialis did.
Lin Feng led the way. The corridor was very long and winding, but surprisingly, they did not encounter any danger along the way.
Moreover, with Longbetham guidance, Lin Feng simply skipped so of the rooms and areas along the way without exploring them. Instead, he kept walking forward.
Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped.
“Listen, are those footsteps?”
Lin Feng’s expression was solemn as he listened carefully.
The others also stuck their ears to the ground. In the end, all of them grimaced.
“There are footsteps, and they’re getting closer.”
“The footsteps are very heavy. They sound like massive dire beasts. There should be three of them!”
Hearing the footsteps of dire beasts, everyone beca nervous.
“Longbetham, is there no other way?”
“No, this is the only way! The defense chanism of the research institute must have been activated. So biomodified beasts responsible for guarding the place have been released. You are on your own.”
Lin Feng did not have a good solution, but since there was no other way, they could only fight.
“Everyone, get ready for battle. It may be harder this ti!”
Lin Feng was naturally at the forefront, paying close attention to the front of the tunnel.
