Chapter 46

Three days later.

"Whoosh!" A figure moved with shadowy steps, dashing up the mountain.

His gene armor was tattered, but the gene boots on his feet emitted a faint glow. Behind him, three elemental beasts, radiating intense electric light, followed closely. The one in the lead had a crystalline protective layer and a sharp, silver-white horn on its forehead, glowing brightly.

Thunder Lynx!

With aluminum crystals as its core, it could emit electric light at the Beast Soldier level, and at the Beast General level, it would undergo a mutation, growing a silver-white horn capable of releasing powerful currents.

"Two D7 aluminum crystal cores, one D6 aluminum crystal core, plus a Thunder Lynx's horn."

"At least 10 silver coins!"

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled with fighting spirit, and a smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

Among D-grade metallic elements, highly conductive aluminum was quite expensive.

In an instant, he activated the Dance of Shadows, his movements bewildering, making the three Thunder Lynxes' fierce eyes dart around. In a split second—

Lin Feng had turned from defense to offense.

Boom!~

...

"Not bad." Lin Feng cut off the silver-white horn with his blade, revealing a weary smile.

He braced himself on the ground with both hands, panting heavily. When he moved his body, he felt a numbness. Closing his eyes, he instantly gathered his spirit energy, which flowed through his meridians. Besides attacking, spirit energy also had the function of soothing meridians, promoting blood circulation, and healing muscles.

"Such a powerful current." Lin Feng smiled.

Killing two high-level Beast Soldier Thunder Lynxes wasn't difficult, but dealing with the low-level Beast General Thunder Lynx took a lot of effort.

It was not only agile but could also release powerful currents from its Thunder Horn, paralyzing him if he wasn't careful.

"If it were a low-level Gene Warrior with an 'Aluminum Heart,' I might have lost." Lin Feng was well aware of this. Compared to Gene Warriors, elemental beasts were weaker, unless they were elite elemental beasts, which could match warriors of the same level.

"Almost done." Lin Feng stretched his body and stood up. The effect of the spirit energy was quite remarkable.

Looking at his tattered D4 gene armor, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. This was the tuition he paid on his first day. He had relied on his spirit energy and the enhanced speed from his gene boots to escape, then slowly wore down and killed over a dozen elemental beasts, including three low-level Beast Generals.

Thanks to the strong defense of the D4 gene armor.

After that, Lin Feng became even more cautious, luring elemental beasts one by one at the border of the Ruined World. There were no major issues, and his pockets gradually filled up.

"Today's earnings should exceed 80 silver coins." Lin Feng calculated in his mind. He had earned enough for his sister's medical expenses. After deducting the 80 silver coins, he would still have about 200 silver coins left, most of which he had earned in the past three days.

Indeed, the Ruined World was a true treasure trove.

And that was just at the border. Entering deeper into the Ruined World would be even more unimaginable...

"It's time to leave." Lin Feng looked into the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation. The next time he came, he would truly enter the depths of the Ruined World, not just the border. This time, his strength wasn't strong enough, and...

He only had five bottles of basic gene liquid left.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly—

"Hmm?" Lin Feng's pupils dilated as he saw a white light point rapidly emerging from the Ruined World. It was a white-spotted deer with coral-like light horns, clear white fur, and a faint red color, like fresh blood.

This!?

Lin Feng was instantly shocked.

"An elite elemental beast, a low-level Beast General Snowlight Deer!" Lin Feng took a deep breath.

It had no crystals on its body!

In other words, this Snowlight Deer was not powered by a magnesium crystal but by a 'Magnesium Heart,' a true elemental heart!

"A D6 Magnesium Heart, market price 40 gold coins."

"The crystal heart of an elite elemental beast is worth about one-tenth of that, so 4 gold coins!"

"Add the Snowlight Deer's white fur and coral light horns, and the total price is between 7 and 8 gold coins!"

Calculating quickly, Lin Feng's eyes gleamed.

Money!

What he lacked most was money!

If he could kill this elite Snowlight Deer, he could conservatively earn 7 gold coins. Adding the 2 gold coins he had already earned, he could buy 30 bottles of basic gene liquid, enough to match a low-level Warrior's monthly earnings.

The only question was, could he kill it?

"Fifty percent chance!" Lin Feng instantly judged, his battle knife gleaming.

If he used only the energy of heaven and earth, his chances of winning were less than ten percent, but if he used spirit energy, he could increase his chances to fifty percent. And if he used the Nine Dragon True Scripture...

Over eighty percent!

"Moreover, it might be injured." Lin Feng was secretly delighted, noticing the faint red color in the Snowlight Deer's white fur. It had likely fled the Ruined World due to an injury.

No adventurer teams nearby!

No other elemental beasts!

One-on-one!

"Quick and decisive!" Lin Feng made his decision and dashed out like lightning.

An opportunity, not to be missed!

...

"Ke!" A high-pitched cry.

The elite Snowlight Deer, which had been running at high speed, suddenly stopped, its eyes flashing with sharp light.

What is an elite elemental beast?

Compared to ordinary elemental beasts, elite elemental beasts possess intelligence!

Almost instantly, the white elite Snowlight Deer's coral light horns glowed with a startling white light. "Sss! Sss!" Magnesium beams shot out, extremely fast. Compared to the Thunder Lynx's electric attacks, the magnesium beams were superior in both speed and range!

One was close-range, the other long-range.

" Dance of Shadows!" Lin Feng didn't dare to be careless, immediately activating his spirit energy combat mode. His steps, enhanced by his gene boots, allowed him to dodge and slowly approach the elite Snowlight Deer. He knew the Snowlight Deer's weakness—

Once in close range, its strength would drop significantly!

But getting close wasn't easy.

"Sss! Sss!" The magnesium beams were like laser gunshots, creating terrifying craters on the ground.

Lin Feng dodged skillfully.

"Ke!" Another cry, the elite Snowlight Deer's body turned completely white, its light like the sun, and it sprinted at an incredible speed. As it ran, its coral light horns continued to attack Lin Feng.

The Magnesium Heart belonged to the light nucleus system.

The speed of light can be described in one word—

Fast!

"Too fast!" Lin Feng frowned, feeling a chill.

He had thought the elite Snowlight Deer might be injured, but it didn't seem so. Its speed far exceeded that of a low-level Beast General. His speed had improved by one level recently, reaching the level of a high-level Ancient Warrior. Using spirit energy, he could bridge one level, and with the enhancement from his gene boots, he was at most at the level of a low-level Warrior.

Compared to the elite Snowlight Deer, he was slightly slower.

If he couldn't get close, he would surely lose.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with determination.

There was no other way.

...

"Sss!" "Sss!" The elite Snowlight Deer's coral light horns continuously emitted white light, turning its head as it ran, its eyes seemingly mocking. It could see the human's predicament, trying to chase it?

Not fast enough, just a live target.

But in the next moment, the elite Snowlight Deer's eyes flashed with cold light, revealing a hint of urgency.

In the blink of an eye, the human it had looked down upon suddenly burst with terrifying speed, far exceeding its previous speed, like a bolt of lightning! The distance closed in an instant, and the elite Snowlight Deer trembled.

"Ke!!!" It roared in anger, its white fur standing on end, the Magnesium Heart pushed to its limit, not only increasing its speed but also accelerating the magnesium beams from its coral light horns several times!

It sensed danger.

"Such terrifying magnesium beams!" Lin Feng's gene armor on his arm was completely destroyed. Unable to dodge in time, his left arm was grazed by a magnesium beam, blood flowing freely. The closer he got, the harder it was to dodge. But at this point, it was like an arrow on the string, ready to be fired.

"Iron Shirt·Simplified!" Lin Feng formed another layer of defense around his body.

Instantly, a lifelike giant dragon appeared behind him, its eyes shining brightly. The dragon's roar echoed, and Lin Feng's alloy battle knife hummed fiercely, shooting out like an arrow: "Meteor Strike!"

The attack was as fast as a lightning bolt, the blade shadow disappearing.

At the same time, the elite Snowlight Deer launched a frenzied attack, a magnesium beam instantly appearing, aiming for Lin Feng's left chest.

Unable to dodge!

"Snap!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth, barely managing to sidestep. The defense of the Iron Shirt shattered instantly, and the magnesium beam penetrated his gene armor, piercing his left shoulder. At the same time, Lin Feng's meteor-like attack struck the elite Snowlight Deer's neck.

"Boom~" A thunderous sound.

The wilderness echoed with the elite Snowlight Deer's painful cry.

"Nine Dragon True Scripture, Second Level!" Enduring the intense pain, Lin Feng took a step forward, ignoring the magnesium beam above his head, which was now fully glowing. Spirit energy flowed rapidly, and two giant dragons appeared behind him, opening their mouths and completely overwhelming the elite Snowlight Deer's momentum.

"Third move of Meteor, Meteor Fall!" Lin Feng roared, his alloy battle knife erupting with power.

The strongest move!

Blood splattered, and the alloy battle knife shattered into pieces.

"Thud!" The elite Snowlight Deer fell to the ground, its eyes filled with fear and unwillingness, its coral light horns glowing with intense magnesium light, but unable to launch its final attack. Lin Feng's chest heaved, and the two dragon shadows behind him gradually faded.

"Phew, phew~" Lin Feng's face was extremely pale.

There was a large blood hole in his left shoulder, and a part of his left arm had been cut off. The battle was gruesome.

A close call!

"Too close." Lin Feng thought.

He had almost been forced into a desperate situation. The strength of the elite Snowlight Deer far exceeded his expectations.

Fierce, calm, the strength of elite elemental beasts was on par with warriors of the same level. Just its final desperate attack was something an ordinary warrior couldn't achieve.

But the harvest was significant!

Lin Feng was satisfied with this battle.

The stronger the opponent, the stronger he could become!

Despite exceeding his expectations, the elite Snowlight Deer showed no signs of injury, but he ultimately killed it. Comparing himself now to when he first entered the wilderness half a month ago... Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.

A world of difference.

Practical combat was the fastest way to improve strength.

"Time to act." To avoid any changes, Lin Feng, despite his painful injuries, took out another alloy battle knife and quickly cut off the coral light horns. Just as he was about to cut the white fur from the elite Snowlight Deer's back, he suddenly paused, parting the fur and seeing the faint red color again.

The bloodstain he had noticed earlier.

"What is this?" Lin Feng was shocked.
