Chapter 557, Gene mutation

On the barren planet of life, Li Shukang and Sun Xinyuan wandered around very casually. Their huge spiritual consciousness covered a large area, and they searched carefully to find creatures with genetic mutations.

"We don't know how many living planets have been investigated. Are there any genetically mutated creatures like you mentioned?"

After searching for several years, but the two of them still have nothing to gain, Sun Xinyuan felt a little impatient.

"There must be. In the Leo galaxy we are investigating now, someone discovered a life with a genetic mutation last time. It's just that there are no powerful Yuanli monks, so there is no way to catch it. We are just trying our luck now to see if it is still alive." Have you stayed here all this time?"

Li Shukang said with certainty that he was not searching aimlessly. Behind Li Shukang, many expedition teams from the Imperial Academy of Biological Sciences searched for genetically mutated life throughout the galaxy.

"If you can't catch the live ones, you can always take the dead ones back, right?"

Sun Xinyuan thought for a while and said, with the terrifying attack power of the Imperial Space Battleship, even creatures with genetic mutations are very powerful, and I believe they should be enough to destroy them.

"It's really not good. The abilities of these genetically mutated creatures are really incredible, and they are very difficult to catch. Of course, the most important thing is that such genetically mutated creatures are very rare and very precious. They are not willing to kill them at all. Each has great research value."

"You know, the countless lives and species in the entire Milky Way can give birth to some genetically mutated creatures. Its value can no longer be described by wealth. How can you be willing to kill it?"

Li Shukuang shook his head. Gene mutations are not uncommon in the history of biological evolution. It can be said that they are very common. Otherwise, where did the diversity and richness of creatures come from? Rich variety of life world.

Of course, genetic mutations in the natural state are very slow, and it may take tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years to slowly undergo mutations as they adapt to changes in nature. The process is very slow, and of course it is very safe. It is not to say that there will be mass deaths, and it can 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, in the early days, Li Fu used vitality to catalyze the mutation of the virus to obtain the ability to swallow AIDS. new virus.

In the way of human intervention, the speed of gene mutation is very fast, and new mutant genes will be produced in a very short period of time. Of course, in the case of artificial intervention, gene mutation is also quite dangerous, and the mortality rate is high. No more.

The devil virus was released, and the creatures in 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 devil virus, but instead produced genetic mutations, becoming very powerful and terrifying.

Devil virus can be regarded as the most powerful method of genetic mutation, or the kind of human intervention, but in this case, the mortality rate of genetic mutation is almost infinitely close to [-]%, and it can only be born with the huge base of countless creatures in the entire galaxy A small number of successful cases of gene mutation.

The higher the death rate, the more terrifying the ability produced after the genetic mutation, and the stronger the creature after the genetic mutation. There is no doubt that these genetically mutated creatures are very precious. For the scientists of the empire, they have a very high value. The research value is naturally reluctant to kill.

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

Sun Xinyuan smiled and said, the number of genetic mutations produced at the cost of the life of a river system is extremely rare, and trying to find them is really not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"That's no way. We have already sent 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 there."

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

"Hmm~"

Suddenly, Sun Xinyuan stopped, his eyebrows frowned, as if he had noticed something, he signaled Li Shukang with his right hand not to speak, then closed his eyes, and his huge spiritual consciousness began to investigate carefully.

Although Li Shukuang's cultivation is not as good as Sun Xinyuan's, he is also a profound Yuanli cultivator. Seeing Sun Xinyuan's expression, he immediately followed up to investigate carefully, but no matter how Li Shukuang used his spiritual sense to investigate, he would always He didn't find anything, and he felt that everything around him was very normal, no different from other places on this living planet.

"It's so cunning, even I almost hid it from it, the detectors really couldn't find it."

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

"Over there? Over there? Why didn't I find anything."

Li Shukuang asked immediately, very curious.

"See that mountain across the way?"

Sun Xinyuan pointed to a mountain a few hundred meters in front of him. This mountain was more than 200 meters high and stretched for dozens of kilometers. Its surface was similar to other places on the entire planet. It was barren and densely covered with sand and rocks, with some brown rocks occasionally exposed.

"In the mountains?"

Li Shukuang's huge spiritual consciousness swept over, and even searched into the mountains, but he still didn't find anything.

"Hey, watch carefully."

A majestic aura began to surge from Sun Xinyuan's body. This aura was like an abyss like an ocean, vast and unfathomable, as if a terrifying existence from the abyss of the universe was dormant.

In the calm sky, the huge energy is constantly stirring, and a huge palm in the sky gradually becomes clear from blur. This giant hand is very huge, just like the palm of the Buddha in the fairy tales. It is enough to accommodate the universe, the sun, the moon, and the heavens and the earth, making people feel that they cannot escape from this palm at all.

"Heh~ You're still pretending. I'll see how long you pretend."

Sun Xinyuan looked at the mountain ahead with a smile on his face.

The giant palm slowly descended from the sky, covering the entire mountain in front of it, as if it was about to crush the mountain at once, carrying a terrifying aura and coercion.

Finally, at this time, the mountain actually started to move, and the surrounding area began to shake continuously, as if a major earthquake had occurred, and ravines appeared on the ground, and the mountain with a height of more than 200 meters began to shake continuously. The uplift, the sand and stones on it, etc. were continuously shaken off, revealing an extremely huge body.

This body is like a giant, and its brown rock-like appearance is constantly pulled up from the ground. Soon, its height exceeds 500 meters, and things like tentacles are pulled out from the ground, forming a road. A ravine tens of meters deep.

At the same time, the situation between the sky and the earth began to change, and the huge breath of life continuously stirred up from the mountain in front of him, forming a terrible shock wave, just like a powerful bomb exploding, and a shock wave formed in the surrounding sky. All of a sudden, sand and rocks were flying, and the dust was flying, as if the most terrifying sandstorm had blown up.

"Sigh~"

Seeing everything in front of him with his own eyes, Li Shukuang took a deep breath, not because he was afraid of the powerful aura of this creature, but he didn't expect that the camouflage of this creature was so powerful that he didn't even notice it right in front of his eyes.

In the sky, a huge palm fell heavily, and slapped fiercely on this huge creature like a mountain. There was a very dull sound in the air, as if a mighty force collided with each other.

The huge creature that had just risen was suddenly suppressed, and the surrounding ground trembled, and in some places, layers of dirt up to tens of meters were even raised.

"Whoo~"

In the void, the rapid movement of objects and the friction sound produced by the space came. Before the sound of tentacles came, they carried a terrible pressure and shrouded the position of the two of them. There is no doubt that with the terrifying power of this creature, even the earth They were all whipped out of a terrible gully as deep as [-] meters.

"court death!"

Sun Xinyuan smiled coldly, a misty halo began to flicker in his eyes, and waves of space rippled. These ripples were not ripples caused by air turbulence, but space ripples produced by space turbulence. As a powerful space element As a powerful warrior, Sun Xinyuan said his accomplishments in space were second, and no one in the entire empire dared to say he was number one.

Terrible spatial sharp blades flashed in the void, like a transparent big knife slicing through the tentacles that were being whipped. Without exception, these tentacles were all severed, and the severed parts fell heavily to the ground, causing bursts of shock. Terrible tremors and a cloud of dust.

"Woo~"

It seems that because the tentacles were cut off, the huge mutated creature let out a terrible scream, and a terrible shock wave formed near its huge mouth, blowing the sand and stones falling from the surface like cannonballs.

"It's useless to call."

"Space Cage!"

Sun Xinyuan looked at the huge mutated creature in front of him, and said coldly at the corner of his mouth, all the huge energy in his body burst out, and the surrounding space began to rippling terrifyingly, like a violent storm on the surface of a lake.

With the huge mutated creature as the center, the surrounding space began to fold layer by layer. The two stones that were originally one in front of the other suddenly became parallel, and the folded space was constantly pulled and swayed in circles ripples.

Near the huge creature, the surrounding space was 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 can't act on the space, and I can only watch myself being locked in this small space.
