The Path of Evolution

Once upon a time, Zhao Hao thought that as long as he had enough evolutionary crystals, it would be easy to reach full gene value.

The current situation overturned his cognition, and he remembered a conversation he had with Mr. Zhuang.

"Mr. Zhuang, you are well-informed. I would like to ask, what does ascending mean?"

"This question is difficult to answer. There are some things in the evolutionary world that can be understood but cannot be explained... In fact, you don't have to ask others. Once you have 99 points of mutant genes, you will naturally understand."

Zhao Hao thoughtfully took out an intermediate mutant crystal and a high-level mutant crystal and tried to refine them again. This time there was no thought coming, but he clearly felt that his refining was blocked by some invisible force. That force seemed to come from the unknown nine heavens, restricting him from breaking through the last hurdle.

"Could it be that the end of mutant power is what they call ascension?"

"In other words, the last bit of mutant gene cannot be improved through crystallization and flesh and blood, and can only be understood by oneself?"

After reaching 99 mutation gene points, just as Mr. Zhuang said, Zhao Hao naturally realized some mysteries. There was something mysterious about it that he couldn't put into words.

He began to understand that the top mutants mentioned by the idol group refer to people with 99 points of mutant genes. At the same time, he also understood why Yang Dingtian wanted to retreat in the Ice and Snow Castle, and Dong Qiantian, who was equally top-notch, chose to continue fighting, constantly breaking through the last difficulty in the battle.

After figuring this out, Zhao Hao was no longer anxious.

In the world of evolution, he is considered a semi-newcomer, arriving more than a year later than others. It is already remarkable to be able to reach the level of a top mutant. It is simply impossible to ascend overnight.

After calming down, he examined his new attributes.

This 617 combat power does not include any external bonuses.

In fact, adding the 100 points provided by the Lion Heart three-piece suit, his real combat power is 717 points.

"Is this SS-level gene lock my illusion?"

Looking at the second gene lock, Zhao Hao frowned.

"Elemental affinity: an innate ability that only exists in legends. It's wonderful..."

Every time Zhao Hao checks the second gene lock, he can feel this thought.

The so-called "wonderful" means that it is said but not said at all, and there is no useful information at all.

Zhao Hao has been studying it for several days, but still doesn't understand what this gene lock does.

What’s even more ridiculous is that this bullshit with ominous uses is actually SS-level!

"You are deliberately playing tricks on me, right? This gene lock is useless at all. It is not as good as an A-level five-second real man!"

The more Zhao Hao thought about it, the more furious he became, feeling that he had been tricked by someone behind the scenes.

He tried to cultivate to the sixth level of the Nine Heavens, and became even more furious.

According to his calculations, after evolving to the mutation level, the sixth level will be unlocked naturally. The actual situation is not that at all, the sixth level has not been unlocked.

"Is it possible that the last 1 point of mutant genes must be fully charged before it can be unlocked?"

Zhao Hao sat in a small stone cave, feeling anxious for a while.

At this time, Xiaoxia suddenly ran to the entrance of the cave and said excitedly: "Boss, come and take a look!"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Hao stood up and asked.

"You'll know when you come here and take a look!" Xiaoxia said excitedly, her face red and her neck thick.

Zhao Hao followed his younger brother and walked through an artificial tunnel a few kilometers away and saw a strange scene.

At the end of the tunnel dug by Annie, there was a flaming red rock wall. The rock had a dazzling luster, as if there were flames flickering inside, and gave people a sense of indestructibility.

Scarlett and Anne were also watching the flaming red rock wall, and the two women seemed a little excited.

"What is this?" Zhao Hao was confused.

"Fire lava, boss, this is fiery lava!" Xiaoxia trembled with excitement as she spoke.

Seeing that Zhao Hao still didn't understand the situation, Xiao Xia was frothing at the mouth and said: "Where there is lava, there must be intermediate flame crystal mines, and maybe high-level flame crystals. Someone in the Flame Valley met him in Mine No. 1 half a year ago It took a lot of manpower and material resources to mine this kind of thing, and mined tons of intermediate flame crystals, as well as a dozen high-level flame crystals!"

Zhao Hao was instantly attracted by the word "tons". The elementary flame crystals were already very valuable. What was the price of tons of intermediate flame crystals?

He also became excited: "Why didn't I see the crystal mine?"

"If you break the natural barrier of the fiery lava, you can see the crystal mine." Scarlett explained.

"It's easy. Annie can just summon the Quagoa to dig through it, right?" Zhao Ritian said matter-of-factly.

As soon as he said this, the three people looked at him like an idiot.

"Ahem...Boss, it's not that simple." Xiao Xia was embarrassed to admit that she was Zhao Ritian's younger brother, and explained: "This kind of fiery lava is very hard. Even though it is a stone, it is not earthy. It has its own kind of The fire attribute is like red-hot Luotie, and even the Quagoa dare not approach it."

Zhao Hao suddenly realized and said to Scarlett: "Can't your arrow shoot through this wall?"

"It doesn't work." Scarlett shook her head helplessly: "The thickness of this wall may be more than a few meters, and my arrow can penetrate half a meter at most. I just tried it a few times, and two of the mutated arrows were damaged. Under restoration."

Zhao Hao: "How did the people in the Flame Valley break this kind of wall half a year ago?"

"At that time, many strong men joined forces, especially Xiaodao and Zhou Xian. One of them mastered the sword's intention, and the other mastered the sword's intention. The swords were combined and they launched a series of terrifying blows. They cooperated once a day and tried continuously for half a month. Finally the wall was blown open." Xiaoxia explained.

Zhao Hao felt inferior in an instant, and the mood was another mood.

What he lacks most now is this kind of realm, otherwise he wouldn't be beaten to pieces by Fengyun Sword.

Holding back his sadness, he asked, "Can you take a detour and dig through it from another place?"

"No, the fiery lava usually extends to very far places. If we dig around, it may cause a collapse, and we all have to be buried here." Xiaoxia said with a sad face.

"Actually, artistic conception is not necessarily required." Scarlett seemed to have remembered something and said: "Once I was chatting with Xiaodao and he said that many things in the evolutionary world are consistent with the ancient Five Elements of your country. If there is a way to restrain the fiery lava, High-end weapons should also be possible. For example, water-type or ice-type mutant weapons."
