Chapter 557, Gene Mutation

On the desolate life planet, Li Shukuang and Sun Xinyuan strolled around very casually, with their huge spiritual consciousness covering a large area, carefully investigating and looking for genetically mutated creatures.

"We don't know how many life planets we have investigated. Are there any genetically mutated creatures like you said?"

Sun Xinyuan felt a little impatient because they had been investigating for several years, but they still had no gains.

"Of course there are. The last time someone discovered genetically mutated life in the Rio galaxy we are investigating, it was just that there were no powerful Yuanli cultivators, so there was no way to catch it. We are just trying our luck now to see if it has stayed here all the time."

Li Shukuang said very confidently. He was not looking aimlessly. Behind Li Shukuang, there were many expedition teams from the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences searching for genetically mutated life in the entire Milky Way.

"If we can't catch them alive, then we can always bring back the dead ones, right?"

Sun Xinyuan thought for a while and said that with the terrible attack power of the Imperial space battleship, even if it was a genetically mutated creature, it was very powerful and I believe it should be enough to destroy it.

"It's really not possible. These genetically mutated creatures have incredible abilities and are very difficult to capture. Of course, the most important thing is that these genetically mutated creatures are very rare and precious. I don't want to kill them at all. Each one has great research value."

"You know, there are countless lives and species in the entire Milky Way that can give birth to such genetically mutated creatures. Its value can no longer be described as wealth. How can I bear to kill it."

Li Shukuang shook his head. Genetic mutations are not rare in the history of biological evolution. It can be said that they are very common. Otherwise, where does the diversity and richness of these creatures come from? It is because of genetic mutations that there are rich and diverse life worlds.

Of course, genetic mutations in the natural state are very slow. It may take tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years to slowly mutate as it adapts to natural changes. This process is very slow, and of course it is also very safe. There will not be large-scale deaths, and it can also better adapt to nature.

In addition to natural gene mutations, biological scientists often like to use artificial interference to induce gene mutations when studying biological genes. For example, Li Fu used Yuan Qi to promote virus mutation in the early days to obtain a new virus that can devour AIDS.

Under artificial intervention, the speed of gene mutation is very fast, and new mutant genes will be generated in a very short time. Of course, relatively speaking, under artificial intervention, gene mutation is also quite dangerous, and the mortality rate remains high.

After releasing the demon virus, the creatures of the entire galaxy suffered a mass extinction, but there are still a few lives that not only did not collapse under the erosion of the demon virus, but also produced gene mutations, becoming very powerful and terrible.

The demon virus can be regarded as the most powerful gene mutation method, or the kind of artificial intervention, but the gene mutation in this case, the mortality rate is almost infinitely close to 100%, and only a few successful cases of gene mutation can be born under the huge base of countless creatures in the entire galaxy.

The higher the mortality rate, the more terrible the ability produced after the gene mutation, and the more powerful the creature after the gene mutation. There is no doubt that these mutated creatures are very precious. For the scientists of the empire, they have extremely high research value, and naturally they are reluctant to kill them.

"The entire Milky Way is so huge, we are looking for a needle in a haystack."

Sun Xinyuan smiled and said that the number of genetic mutations produced at the cost of the life of a Milky Way is extremely rare, and it is really not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack to find it.

"There is no way. We have sent out hundreds of millions of spaceships, space battleships and the like. I believe we should be able to find something. When the time comes, we can just go directly there."

Li Shukuang nodded helplessly. The number is too small, and coupled with all kinds of incredible abilities, it is really difficult to find it.

"Hmm~"

Suddenly, Sun Xinyuan stopped, frowned, and seemed to have discovered something. He signaled Li Shukuang with his right hand not to speak, then closed his eyes, and began to carefully investigate with his huge consciousness.

Although Li Shukuang's cultivation was not as good as Sun Xinyuan's, he was also a high-level Yuanli cultivator. When he saw Sun Xinyuan's expression, he immediately followed and carefully investigated. However, no matter how Li Shukuang used his spiritual sense to investigate, he did not find anything. He felt that everything around him was very normal, no different from other places on this life planet.

"So cunning, even I almost hid it. The detector really couldn't find it."

After a long time, Sun Xinyuan opened his eyes with a deep smile on his face.

"There? There? Why didn't I find anything."

Li Shukuang asked immediately, very curious.

"Do you see the mountain opposite?"

Sun Xinyuan pointed to a mountain a few hundred meters away in front of him. The mountain was more than 200 meters high and winding for dozens of kilometers. The surface was similar to the rest of the planet, barren, sandy and covered with occasional brown rocks.

"Inside the mountain?"

Li Shukuang's huge spiritual consciousness swept over, and even went to investigate inside the mountain, but still found nothing.

"Hehe, look carefully."

Sun Xinyuan began to stir up a majestic aura, which was like an abyss, vast and unfathomable, as if a terrible existence from the abyss of the universe was lurking.

In the calm sky, the huge Yuan force continued to stir, and a huge palm in the sky gradually became clear from blur. This giant hand was very huge, like the palm of the Buddha in the myth, enough to contain the universe, the sun and the moon, the heaven and the earth, making people feel that they could not escape from this palm at all.

"Heh~ You are still pretending, let's see how long you can pretend."

Sun Xinyuan looked at the mountain in front of him with a smile on his face.

The giant palm slowly descended from the sky, covering the entire mountain in front, as if it was going to crush the mountain at once, carrying a terrible aura and pressure.

Finally, at this time, the mountain actually began to move, and the surrounding area began to shake continuously, as if a major earthquake had occurred. I saw gullies appearing on the ground, and the mountain over 200 meters high began to rise continuously, and the sand and stones on it continued to fall, revealing an extremely huge body.

This body was like a giant, and its brown rock-like appearance kept rising on the ground. Soon, its height exceeded 500 meters. Tentacle-like things were pulled out from the ground, forming gullies tens of meters deep.

At the same time, the sky and the earth began to change color, and the huge breath of life continued to stir from the mountain in front of us, forming a terrible shock wave, like a powerful bomb explosion, and a shock wave was formed in the surrounding sky. For a while, sand and stones were flying, dust was flying, and it was like the most terrible sandstorm.

"Hiss~"

Witnessing everything in front of him, Li Shukuang took a breath. He was not afraid of the powerful breath of this creature, but he did not expect that the camouflage of this creature was so powerful that he did not notice it even when it was right in front of him.

In the sky, a huge palm fell heavily and slapped the huge creature like a mountain. There was a very dull sound in the air, as if a force of ten thousand kilograms collided with each other.

The huge creature that had just risen was suddenly suppressed, and the surrounding earth trembled. In some places, layers of soil rolls as high as tens of meters were even lifted.

"Hu~"

In the void, the sound of objects moving quickly and the friction caused by space came. The sound of tentacles did not arrive, but they carried a terrible pressure to cover the position where the two were. There is no doubt that with the terrible power of this creature, even the earth will be whipped out of a terrible gully as deep as a hundred meters.

"Looking for death!"

Sun Xinyuan smiled coldly, and a hazy halo began to flash in his eyes. Waves of space rippled. This kind of ripple was not caused by the agitation of air, but the space ripples caused by the agitation of space. As a powerful space-based elemental warrior, Sun Xinyuan was second to none in the entire empire in terms of attainment in space.

The terrifying space blade flashed in the void, like a transparent broadsword slashing across the tentacles that were whipping over. Without exception, all these tentacles were cut off, and the cut parts fell heavily to the ground, causing waves of terrible vibrations and dust all over the sky.

"Woo~"

It seemed that because the tentacles were cut off, the huge mutant creature let out a terrible scream, and a terrible shock wave formed near its huge mouth, blowing the sand and stones on the surface like a cannonball.

"It's no use shouting."

"Space cage!"

Sun Xinyuan looked at the huge mutant creature in front of him and said coldly. The huge Yuanli in his body burst out, and the surrounding space began to ripple with terrible ripples, like a storm on the lake.

With the huge mutant creature as the center, the surrounding space began to fold up layer by layer. The two stones that were originally one in front and one behind suddenly became parallel. The folded space kept pulling and rippled.

Near the huge creature, the surrounding space folded and pulled, and soon formed a huge folded area with a length, width and height of thousands of meters. In the folded area, the huge mutant creature was still struggling, and the dust was flying, but the power could not act on the space, and it could only watch itself being trapped in this small space.
