Chapter 71 - Treasure Chest, Meeting Again

[Geno Ore: can be used to break gene locks.]

After the gene chain had been refine to 100%, the gene lock had to be broken to break through and open a new gene chain.

However, it was extremely difficult to break the genetic lock, especially the higher the level, the harder it was to open the genetic lock.

It could only be done by using a special method.

Geno ores were one of them.

The Geno ore was a special item that could be dropped by any beast.

It contained a special type of genetic energy that could be used to break through the gene seal.

But the drop rate for an ordinary beast was practically zero. The higher the level of the beast, the higher the drop rate.

Progressor Geno ores had a higher drop-rate among boss-level monsters.

Of course, not every boss monster dropped a Geno ore.

This was why Lu Yuan was a little excited.

He didn’t expect the first boss he killed to drop it. He was quite lucky.

Originally, when Lu Yuan’s honing reached 100%, he still needed to spend a long time hunting elite beasts and leader beasts. He didn’t expect to obtain a Geno ore now.

He carefully put away the raw gemstone, planning to use it when he broke through.

After he put away the Geno ores and crystals, Lu Yuan looked at the body of the ancient sea crocodile leader.

The ancient sea crocodile leader’s corpse was full of treasures.

The most precious things were the horn on its head and its skin.

However, at the chieftain level, even the flesh of the ancient sea crocodiles contained a lot of spirit energy. Eating the flesh of the ancient sea crocodiles would also increase the speed of cultivation.

Although the spiritual power contained in the flesh couldn’t be compared to that of a spiritual crystal, it won in that it was very gentle to absorb.

Genetic Warriors had to eat, after all. Eating the flesh of a leader-level beast was better than eating ordinary food.

After Lu Yuan kept the horn and the ancient sea giant crocodile’s leather armor, he looked at the corpse that was more than 10 meters long with a conflicted expression.

The corpse was too big. Although his War Rune space was about eight to nine meters wide, if he kept all the flesh and blood, he would have to use up most of the space.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and finally only took the parts that looked more delicious like thigh meat.

After collecting the corpse of the ancient sea giant crocodile leader, Lu Yuan looked around.

He looked in the direction of the pool and then looked at the open space.

It was a little dark inside the open space, and Lu Yuan could not see the situation inside.

He thought for a while. The ancient sea giant crocodile leader had come here even when it was on the verge of death. This place could be its nest, and there could be other treasures.

He might as well go in and take a look.

Lu Yuan moved towards the interior of the open space.

The open space was full of broken rocks. The deeper he went, the stronger the rancid smell, making Lu Yuan feel uncomfortable.

The smell was a little too strong.

As he went deeper, Lu Yuan gradually saw the scene inside.

There were many broken bones and corpses on the ground. From the looks of it, they were the corpses of other fierce beasts.

These should be the bones left behind by the ancient sea crocodile.

And in the innermost part of the open space, there was a bronze box.

When Lu Yuan saw the box, his eyes widened slightly and he looked pleasantly surprised.

It was a good thing he didn’t go out directly. He didn’t expect to find a treasure chest here.

He did not care about the pungent smell and the feces of the ancient sea giant crocodile as he walked to the treasure chest.

The treasure chest was not locked, so Lu Yuan opened it easily.

There was a white jade stone, a green light ball, and a green light ball inside.

Inside the green ball of light was a black ring with blue patterns carved on it. It looked very exquisite. Inside the green ball of light was a dark blue robe.

Lu Yuan quickly picked up everything.

Naturally, there was no need to mention the ores.

The black ring was called the torrent ring.

After wearing it, it could greatly increase one’s mental strength, and slightly increase one’s strength, defense, and agility. Not only that, but after injecting spiritual power into the ring, it could also activate a water arrow.

However, it required time to recharge after each activation, and it could only be used once a day.

Lu Yuan was pleasantly surprised. A leader-level equipment, and it was even an accessory-type, its value was no less than the moonstone he currently had.

Lu Yuan tried to absorb the Riptide ring but realized that he was still lacking a little.

He had refined quite a lot, but it was still a lot of pressure for him to get a chieftain geno weapon.

It would be difficult for an ordinary elite warrior to equip a chieftain-level equipment.

Lu Yuan’s transcendent gene was a defense-type gene. In addition, he had used a lot of Moonstone essence and Moonstone spirit dew. His body was very strong now, but he still needed to improve it a little more if he wanted to use the second gene.

He should be able to do it when the refinement degree was almost full.

Lu Yuan put away the torrent ring, planning to absorb it later.

As for the dark blue robe, it was an elemental warrior equipment that mainly improved spiritual power. To Lu Yuan, it did not have much use.

He kept the robe and planned to auction it later.

After that, Lu Yuan searched the other areas of the open space.

After making sure he didn’t miss anything, he jumped into the pool.

There was a passage under the pool. Lu Yuan swam along the passage and soon came to the bottom of the pool, which was more spacious.

The light from the sun could be seen on it.

Lu Yuan swam upstream and soon came out of the pool in the valley.

The pool was still surrounded by the corpses of the ancient sea crocodiles. The water in the pool had a trace of dark red and reeked of blood.

Lu Yuan swam out of the pool and left the valley along the river without stopping.

After walking along the river outside the valley for some distance, Lu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

He had gained a lot this time.

He received two Geno ores, one elite-class transcendent gene, two leader-class equipment, two elite-class equipment, and some materials and flesh of the ancient sea crocodile leader.

That would probably be worth a few million crystals!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and turned to enter the forest.

Not long after, he found a quiet open space against the mountain wall and stopped to rest.

He had used a powerful healing potion to recover from his injuries, and now his injuries were almost fully recovered. However, he was still physically and mentally exhausted from such an intense battle, so he planned to rest here for the day.

Lu Yuan took out the barbeque rack and some ancient sea crocodile meat, planning to roast the nod-level ferocious beast’s flesh and eat it.

He found a place to sit down and began to roast the meat.

The flames rose and the flesh turned golden after seasoning. The oil continued to drip into the flame and sizzled. A strange fragrance hit his face, making Lu Yuan swallow his saliva.

I’ve heard that the flesh of leader-level ferocious beasts is delicious, but I didn’t expect it to be so fragrant!

His cooking skills were terrible, but he could still roast it so well. It was completely the taste of the ingredients themselves.

Just as Lu Yuan was waiting for the meat to be cooked, a faint voice sounded beside him,”

“Are you done?”

When Lu Yuan heard the voice, he was stunned. Then, his back broke out in cold sweat, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

The f* ck?

There was someone beside him?

He exerted all his strength and rushed to the side at the fastest speed he had ever seen. He looked in the direction of the sound.

He then saw a humanoid cat squatting beside his previous position, staring at the golden roasted meat.

Her long black hair was draped over her back, and her black cat ears were trembling slightly. Her black tail was also swaying a little, but her beautiful white face was expressionless.

Under the setting sun, the beautiful cat girl looked like a black elf.

However, Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

Wasn’t this feline girl the one he saw in the desert chasing after the sand crocodile leader?

That was the most powerful genetic warrior Lu Yuan had ever seen. He had a deep impression of it.

But when did this cat girl come to the ancient sea oasis?

And when did she appear beside him?

He didn’t feel anything at all?

Lu Yuan’s back was covered in cold sweat. If the cat girl had attacked him just now, he would have been dead.

Although he had been on his guard the entire time and had activated body of black iron, he didn’t think that his defense would be effective against a monster that could chase after a boss-level dire beast.

Should I run now?

From the speed of this feline girl last time, it seems that I can’t escape?

What to do?

This time, he had such a great harvest. Was he going to make a wedding dress for someone else?

Lu Yuan looked at the cat girl, his thoughts spinning quickly.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, the cat girl turned to look at him, her dark vertical eyes calm.

“It’s about to burn. ”

Lu Yuan was confused.
