Legend of the Mythological Genes Chapter 275

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

In a battle between sneaky people, the importance was to see who was more like a ‘turtle'.

As long as they hadn't died, they would turtle until the end of the world!

The airdrop box was right before their eyes, within reach.

However, none of the four teams dared to make a move. They didn't reveal any hint of auras.

It was without a doubt that all of them wanted to be the one to take advantage of the situation when the rest engaged in a fight, and not be the one first engaging in the fight.

Each team was even more of a turtle than another!

However, Feng Lin's team held a tremendous advantage.

The spirit force was invisible and intangible. They seeped into the earth, and any minute changes would be within their senses. There was no stopping them.

Although it might be possible for the other three teams to use their concealing methods to hide from the rest, through his senses, there were no secrets.

He carefully observed the details of these teams.

One of them lay in ambush under a huge boulder. It was a team of white-skinned examinees. However, all of them had extremely muscular bodies like they were big white bears that concealed their auras while staring at their prey.

Once the other party revealed a flaw, they would be like bears that had woken up from hibernation, tearing their prey up into pieces and then completely engulfing them.

Each person's aura was extremely powerful and they had a vitality of over 600. They weren't to be trifled with.

Such obvious signs… These people were clearly the combat race from Soviet Russia.

Another team was filled with people from various ethnicities, including black, white, yellow… even a person with a red skin tone. Their vitality varied as well. The weakest one of them only had a vitality of over 100, but strangely, their top fighter seemed to have a vitality of over 800. What a contrast!

Hiding in the bushes, they were wearing ghillie suits that enabled them to blend with the environment. Even with the inconsistent battle prowess, they were still a worthy opponent.

However, the Japanese team was still the greatest threat of all.

Although two members of this team had perished, the combination of an onmyouji, ninja, and samurai was one where they could attack from both close and long distance. They could both attack and defend, and their battle prowess distribution was almost flawless.

If they were given a chance to perform their means, they would definitely create a big mess.

Feng Lin's mind was moving very quickly as he tried to think of ways to deal with the situation.

To be able to participate in this examination, each of them was an elite cultivator with great patience.

And patience was indeed a talent!

Without realizing it, three hours passed by and each of the teams remained concealed, not moving at all.

The airdrop box was right before them, but no one made a move.

The glaring red light flickered rapidly and then gradually extinguished.

The haze in the Cloudsmoke Swamp spread out rapidly, covering the surroundings and making it hard for one to see even their own fingers.

(These people are really turtles!)

Feng Lin sighed and lay low as well.

Continue to turtle…

Pa pa pa!

Everyone continued to turtle for half an hour when a sudden series of footsteps neared, breaking the silence.

“Everyone, quickly look around! That airdrop box seems to have landed here!”

“If we find that level 5 equipment, we'd be able to take down even grand cultivators!”

“Whether or not we can take first place, winning and get chicken for dinner, will depend on this!”

…

Excited voices rang out.

Five figures walked out from the thick haze It was a full team of five.

They scanned the surroundings warily as they headed over.

However, when they set their eyes on the airdrop box, their gazes were fixed on it.

“Boss, look! The airdrop box is over there!”

“Let's go over there quickly!”

“These are all ours!”

…

The team's members immediately cried out.

Only the leader kept a hint of rationality. “There's no hurry! Check it out with scouting means first and see if there are any ambushes in the vicinity! We must be careful not to be assaulted. Otherwise, we'd be in trouble!”

A tall and skinny examinee nodded and walked out. He brought out a pair of technological spectacles and started scanning the environment.

After a while, he said in surprise, “Boss, it's fine! There isn't anyone nearby nor are they any traces that people have appeared here before!”

“That's good! Brothers, go on!” The leader put down the last bit of doubt he had and led the four members rushing over.

Feng Lin looked at this scene and shook his head.

This team was still too too green!

With the interstellar space's development, although technological scoutings were used as support, there were also skills to crack them.

How could they possibly detect others with these little skills they had?

The impetuous team hurried toward the airdrop box as if they had seen a precious treasure.

Kacha!

The airdrop box was opened up, revealing extremely precious equipment as well as many gene potions.

The five people's eyes opened wide, but before they could cry out in surprise…

Pffft!

Silver light flashed.

A glaring hole appeared on one of the examinee's forehead. Blood and brain juice were flowing out.

“What?” The team was horrified and didn't have the chance to think too much into it.

Pffft pffft pffft!

Bullets shot out crazily toward them.

Hundred Ghosts Technique!

Many skeletons crawled out from the ground and started to chow on their flesh.

Earthquake Wave!

The ground tremored and the powerful impact caused them to fall over, unable to stand upright.

Within an instant, this team was attacked from three different locations. They were completely befuddled.

They instinctively applied defensive measures, but they were outnumbered and instantly drowned under the attacks, dying horrible deaths. The entire team was wiped out.

Blood flowed all over.

After a while, there was still no one appearing. It was as if the attacks from earlier were just illusions. Only the five corpses that had died horrible deaths in front of the airdrop box dyed the ground in blood.

Not only did the three teams not come out, but they holed up even more than before, changing their locations in case they were locked on by others.

In the instant they had attacked earlier, they realized each other's existence. Whoever made a move first would just be courting death!

These people were really a bunch of turtles!

Feng Lin sighed. They couldn't just keep on watching from the side. He needed to think of a solution to this.

Otherwise, if things continued to drag on, when would it ever end?

Compared to the others, he had a huge advantage.

He used his spirit force to detect other people's existence. However, the others didn't know of him!

Even when that idiotic team had rashly opened up the airdrop box, Feng Lin's team had not divulged themselves.

Having the advantage of the unequal grasp of information, if he didn't make use of this, it would really be a waste of brain tissues.

His brain started churning as he searched for a way to break out of this predicament.

Night gradually fell and the Cloudsmoke Swamp became increasingly dark and silent.

He sensed that two new teams had appeared. However, they were a lot more careful than the last.

But maybe that was because of the corpses and the blood next to the airdrop box.

They two teams quietly lay low as well.

Sneaks encountering sneaks once again!

Feng Lin's head started aching. He carefully probed with his spirit force and locked onto an examinee who was from the combat race.

This examinee appeared capable-looking and held a big rifle. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle; he was clearly an experienced sniper.

Any slight movements in the surroundings would attract his attention and he would shoot them from afar!

Earlier on, he had been the first to shoot.

Hypnotism technique!

Feng Lin's spirit force released abnormal waves that spread out like a warm breeze.

The sniper suddenly felt very sleepy and his eyelids became extremely heavy.

Psyforce!

Under the effect of psyforce, that sniper turned his gun barrel toward someone who was lying in ambush amongst the grass from afar.

The two teams didn't notice this at all.

Bang!

Sparks shot out and a light bullet cut across the darkness.

Ahhh…

A stifled sound rang out and someone amongst the grass was shot. The person couldn't hold it in and let out a painful cry.

“Boev, who permitted you to shoot?!” The leader of the combat race team let out a furious bellow.

Bang bang bang!

The sniping rifle kept shooting out crazily toward the bushes.

That sniper had clearly fallen asleep!

“This isn't good! Someone else is pulling stunts!” That team leader was surprised and enraged.

Earthquake Wave!

A series of earthquakes appeared under their feet. It was like there was a volcano eruption that forced them out from their ambush.

Then a group of people in ghillie suits crawled out and started retaliating.

The combat race was a fierce race to begin with and when they were being attacked, how could they possibly not retaliate?

The two teams started to fight and kill each other, engaging in a scuffle.

“What happened?” The other three teams lying in ambush were baffled and wondered if they should make a move.

However, how could Feng Lin possibly let them off?

If they didn't fight each other, how could he try to sneak his way closer?

His psyforce was released silently. It was an invisible yet powerful force, and he was using it to control the sniper to shoot out toward the other three teams.

Ahhhhh…

A series of agonizing cries rang out as people were hit by the bullets.

“There are other teams!” The two teams that were engaged in a battle exchanged a mutual glance and immediately stopped fighting each other. Instead, they charged toward the other teams.

It was wishful thinking for these people to want to take advantage of the situation while they fought each other!

Since no one could continue to stay hidden, then they would fight each other head-on to see who was more vicious!

A chaotic massacre took place.

There were five teams—five groups of people. But there were no alliances, just head-on fighting!

This was an examination where they sought to survive a dangerous situation. Only the one who emerged first would be able to pass the test.

Any form of alliance would be a sham!

“Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!” Abe Genmei's onmyoji robe kept on flapping as yellow amulets were thrown out. The gates of hell were opened and demons gushed out like tidal waves.

“Thunder God's Chariot!” The five members of the combat race gathered together, and a vast amount of electricity radiated out from their bodies. A tall figure came whizzing out of it, riding a chariot.

“Nature's Friends”! One team turned the trees into Treants to protect themselves. They were like ancient druids from myths and legends, wearing beast hide and strange scepters.

…

They were all top-notch geniuses who had been picked out carefully from various star regions. Naturally, they had all kinds of extraordinary means.

Feng Lin watched the show coldly from the side.

He could see faint traces of myths and legends from these people's moves. It was really an eye-opener for him.

These five teams were engaged in an intense scuffle, but yet no one noticed that Feng Lin's team was still lying low at the side.

In a competition between sneaks, it wasn't enough to be turtling!

Turtling could only drag things out for a short moment. If they wished to hog all the advantages, then it'd be a competition to see who was even more sinister!

The deadlock was broken and everyone started killing each other. The situation was extremely chaotic.

The varying teams wore savage looks, having a strong urge to kill the rest of the other teams and fighting it out to the bitter death!

All of them turned from sneaks into violent people in just an instant.

The battlefield was very chaotic and every team suffered losses. At this moment, everyone wished to leave peacefully, but it was very difficult.

“This…”

Aris, Yi, and Su Li all wore unbelievable expressions as they looked at this chaotic scene.

(Who on earth did this?)

Yana was the only one who understood.

Earlier on, he had noticed that Feng Lin had secretly used his will to scout. She had no idea what tricks he had pulled.

She looked pitifully at the other five teams who had engaged in a massacre.

Although these people were all sneaks, they still couldn't win against Feng Lin in terms of being sneaky.

This person was the true tough character!

“Let's not make any move. Once they show signs of stopping, we'll launch sneak attacks and continue to sow discord between them!” Feng Lin communicated through mental connections and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Yana, Yi, and the other two felt a chill running down their spine.

How vicious!

If they were to really do this, these five teams would probably have to die here!

They wore pitiful expressions as if they could already see the pathetic plight the five teams would end up in.

…

“Don't participate in the scuffle here. Snatch the equipment and the items first!” The combat race team was the first to react.

Although they were unfearful of battles, fighting without any objectives would just be a waste of their blood and energy.

After their traces were divulged, they decided not to drag out the situation. They decided to first get their hands on the equipment and then take their time dealing with this group of people.

Thunderbolts erupted and the chariot whizzed, forcibly crushing through the waves of demons and energy currents, heading straight for the airdrop box.

Those rare equipment and items were just right before their eyes.

“Baka! Dream on!” The Japanese ninja let out a cry. Having lay in ambush for so long, how could he possibly be willing to give up the airdrop box to the others?

Earth evasion jutsu, Earth Element – Earthflow River!

He formed seals with both hands, causing the earth to seethe into a river and gushed over.

Flying Thousand Saber Technique!

A samurai stood on top of the river. His body slightly inclined forward and he leaped off fiercely. He unleashed countless streams of light, forcibly fending off the powerful impact from the Thunder God's Chariot.

“Abe-sama, you go and seize the equipment first. The two of us will hold them off for you!” shouted both the samurai and the ninja.

The onmyouji was cold and emotionless, and he wouldn't say any word of crap. He turned into an elusive figure and pounced toward the airdrop box.

“Dream on!” When the other teams saw that, they came charging over as well and performed various means.

The Treants had massive figures. They waved their branches non-stop like they were tentacles, smashing out and causing those examinees to keep on retreating.

The earth tremored.

The repercussion waves from the many examinees' attacks scattered out, causing the earth to crumble. The entire place was in shambles.

The airdrop box was a fuse and the flames of war spread out. The whole ecosystem of Cloudsmoke Swamp was in a dire strait.

At the very end, all five teams suffered severe casualties and their movements also slowed down. They started panting, with only their eyes still glaring fiercely at each other.

Seeing that the battle situation was gradually slowing down, Feng Lin let out a low bellow, “Yi, do it!”

Yi nodded and drew his bow, sending a sharp arrow silently into the air, hitting onto someone from the combat race.

“Who's that?!” That member of the combat race was infuriated. Lightning erupted out from his entire body, and he attacked fiercely toward the surroundings.

The situation that had calmed down immediately became intense once again.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Many vicious arrows shot out silently toward the various teams. Although their prowess wasn't great, they had lit up flames of fury in everyone's heart.

The other members in Feng Lin's team also learned to be sinister, launching sneak attacks.

Yana would also occasionally bewitch others with her improved illusion art, causing the examinees to lose their rationality and attack fiercely.

They stood steadily at the side, waiting to harvest the battlefield at the very end.

Feng Lin's gaze stared at the airdrop box that had been opened up.

With a single thought from Feng Lin, the gene potions floated up. Under the concealment of the battle's repercussions, they moved toward him while remaining low on the ground.

Obtaining objects across space via psyforce!

They didn't have to head over personally to get their hands on these equipment and resources. They could do the same through psyforce.

However, the traces of this method would be very clear!

Change!

Feng Lin obtained a pile of stones and put them into the airdrop box using psyforce. The Heart Monkey Force was activated and it immediately changed them to take on the appearance of gene potions, passing them off as the genuine items.

If other people didn't pick them up personally, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference with their naked eyes.

From the very beginning, Feng Lin hadn't planned on fighting these people head-on.

Only boors would choose to only use force to resolve issues.

Completing the change with the Heart Monkey Force would be sufficient to pass off the fake as genuine. Since he could attain his objectives without others knowing, why was there a need to use force?
