Chapter 236: Not a Demon

Ever since Lin Feng had mastered the combat body, he had extraordinary control over his body. When he was restructuring his cells previously, he had already sensed something external in his body.

He extended his hand, and a metal sphere gradually condensed in his hand. It was the genetic fusion device.

The genetic fusion device had a certain supportive effect on martial artists who had undergone four life transitions or below, but this did not include Lin Feng, who had cultivated the combat body. After Lin Feng had cultivated the combat body, the current genetic fusion device was actually no longer of any aid to him.

Just as Longbetham had said, this genetic fusion device was only an “auxiliary aid”. It was not directly helpful to life transitions, and only provided support.

Back when Lin Feng underwent his first life transition, he did not rely on the genetic fusion device either. Instead, he relied on his own comprehension in life-or-death situations to finally break the genetic lock for the first time, and complete his first life transition.

The greatest use of a genetic fusion device was to fuse with the genes of other dire beasts, allowing a martial artist’s body to become stronger. Now that Lin Feng had mastered the combat body, what dire beast would be stronger than his combat body?

So, this genetic fusion device could not help Lin Feng in further life transitions, nor could it increase his physical strength. Naturally, it had become useless. To the mechanical civilization, the genetic fusion device was just a small gadget.

“Longbetham, can someone else use this genetic fusion device of mine?”

Lin Feng actually had an idea. Although this genetic fusion device was no longer useful to him, it was still very useful for professional martial artists, and even martial artists with their first life transition.

He could give them to his parents, or his sister, and so on. With it, they could improve their strength and gain more success in practicing martial arts with less effort. They might even have a chance to break the genetic lock.

However, Longbetham shook his head and said, “These genetic fusion devices have all been locked. Before you undergo four life transitions and accept the true legacy, no one else can use the genetic fusion devices. Of course, after your death, such restrictions will no longer apply.”

Lin Feng was a little disappointed. He had wanted to let his parents and sister use it. However, on second thought, it wasn’t entirely impossible. He had already undergone two life transitions. As long as he worked hard and strove for four life transitions to obtain the Bemond’s true inheritance, all the genetic fusion devices would be unlocked. Then, wouldn’t it be up to him to decide who could use it?

“Three or four days have passed. I wonder how Griman and the others are doing. I have to get out quickly.”

Since Lin Feng had already undergone two life transitions and mastered the combat body, his strength had improved greatly. Naturally, he had nothing to fear from those three lizards.

Thus, he asked Longbetham to open the door to the energy factory.

Rumble.

As the door opened, however, Lin Feng realized that the lizards had disappeared.

“Where are the two lizards?”

Three days ago, Lin Feng had been hunted down by two lizards. In fact, after he hid in the energy factory, the two lizards would appear outside the door from time to time. Why was there no sign of them now?

“Could they have left to hunt down Griman and the others?”

Lin Feng thought of a possibility. If Griman and the others exposed their whereabouts, they would indeed be easily hunted down by the lizards.

At this thought, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He immediately rushed out and arrived at the control room.

As expected, the control room was also empty. There was no sign of any lizards.

“Longbetham, how long will it take for you to take over this ruin if I place you in the control room?”

“I cannot say for certain, but it should not be a problem to shut down the defensive weapons outside. About half an hour.”

“All right, turn off the defensive weapons outside first. I’ll look for Griman and the other two.”

Hence, Lin Feng let Longbetham enter the control center of the control room. With Longbetham’s ability, there should be no problem. Right now, Lin Feng had to worry about Griman and the others. He hoped that they would be fine.

…

In three days, Griman had recovered his Astral Power.

Thinking about how Lin Feng had lured away two lizards alone and created the conditions for him to escape, Griman was very touched. Hence, as soon as his Astral Power recovered, he immediately headed for the direction Lin Feng had escaped.

No matter what, he had to see if Lin Feng was all right. If Lin Feng was fine, he could still help Lin Feng.

When Griman came all the way to the control room, he realized that two lizards were wandering around the control room, but there was no sign of Lin Feng. His heart sank. Could something have happened to Lin Feng?

At this thought, Griman’s heart ached deeply. He felt that Lin Feng traded his own life for his.

Originally, Griman wanted to continue searching for Lin Feng, but his whereabouts were discovered by the two lizards. Griman had no choice but to run.

Fortunately, there were way too many forks in the ruin. Moreover, they extended in all directions. By darting around continuously, Griman was not discovered by the lizards for a time.

And two days later, he also discovered Fu Lin and Dardan.

However, both Fu Lin and Dardan were in a miserable state. Both were seriously injured. Dardan had lost an arm, and Fu Lin was limping.

The three of them gathered and hid in a small room.

It wasn’t until the third day that the lizards found the three of them. No one knew how they were found. Perhaps it was by tracking Fulin and Dardan’s blood traces, but in any case, the lizards had found the three of them.

Leaning against the hard door, the three of them resisted with all their might.

However, as the door was gradually broken open with each slam, the three of them reached a life-or-death juncture.

“It’s really the end for us this time.”

Fu Lin looked a little weary. She had already been running for a few days, only to unexpectedly find that she still could not outrun death in the end.

“If only Leader were here. Griman, did you discover Leader’s body or not?” Dardan gritted his teeth and asked.

“I didn’t find any corpse. Perhaps it was devoured by them, but he might also still be alive. However, so what if he’s alive?”

“Right. Leader can’t defeat these three lizards either, but I still hope Leader can survive. It’d best if he can close the defense mechanism of the ruins and complete the mission while the three lizards are distracted by us.”

“That’s right. No matter what, we must complete the mission!”

Griman and the others were already prepared to die. They were not a match for even one lizard, let alone three.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As the three lizards slammed into the door again and again, the door shook more and more violently.

Crunch.

Suddenly, the door was smashed open. The three lizards’ ferocious eyes immediately landed on Griman and the others.

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that they were probably doomed this time.

“Let’s fight with our lives. This time, I’ll unleash my innate ability again and restrain them. Run as far as you can, but whether you’re fortunate enough to escape this time will depend on your luck.”

Griman took a deep breath. He unleashed his ability for Fu Lin and Dardan to escape. Whether the two of them could escape, Griman’s death was certain.

“On the count of three, one, two, three, go!”

In an instant, Griman unleashed his innate ability. An invisible force enveloped the bodies of the three lizards.

However, just as Fu Lin and Dardan were about to give their all to escape, a loud bang came from behind the three lizards.

Boom.

It was as if a giant beast was stomping on the ground. The passageway and the room all shook violently.

Could it be an even stronger demon?

“No, it’s not a demon. It’s… it’s Leader!”

Through the crack in the door, Fu Lin saw the familiar figure behind the three lizards. Her tone was incomparably excited!
