Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen suddenly had a hunch that perhaps this ancient city was not originally located here, but the Coral Turtle had dragged it here.

Because the Coral Turtle died here, the ancient city could no longer move in the sea and had to stop at this place.

As Lin Shen was examining the chains and those Ancient Beast Statues, Ouyang Yudu suddenly tugged at him. Lin Shen turned his head and saw Ouyang Yudu pointing with his finger at a spot inside the ancient city.

Looking in the direction of his pointing, he saw that it was at the very center of the ancient city, where there was a square-like open space. In the middle of the open space stood an ancient tower that had seven stories, presumably the tallest building in the entire city.

At the top of the tower, there was an extremely odd statue.

Generally speaking, the peak of such an ancient tower should be just a simple spire, at most adorned with some carvings.

Even if there were any mythical beast statues, they should be along the edges of the tower.

But at the tip of this ancient tower was a seated statue, resembling a human, sitting in the posture of the Thinker.

Lin Shen quickly realized what Ouyang Yudu wanted him to see. Earlier when the Archangel's Sword was exploring, it passed by the side of this statue, triggering a disturbance in the Flame Liquid that lifted some of the seaweed-like things that were covering the statue's face.

The two could clearly see the face of the statue, which was a silver-white metallic face, sharply contoured and strikingly beautiful.

What was peculiar was that its eyes were closed, fitting the Thinker's pose, yet on its forehead, there was another eye standing upright, and this eye was open. The pupil seemed to have been dyed, colored a red hue, giving it a strangely alluring aesthetic.

Unable to communicate in the Sea of Flames, Lin Shen wanted to ask Ouyang Yudu if he knew anything about the origins of the ancient city and the statue, but he could not open his mouth to ask.

The entire ancient city was covered with dark gray seaweed, obscuring its original appearance.

The two swam around the ancient city but did not find anything useful. The entire city seemed like a ghost town, with no signs of people or any creatures inside, not even a corpse to be found.

Suddenly, Lin Shen felt a throb in his heart, he looked around but discovered nothing. .net

He felt as if something was watching him, which made him quite uncomfortable.

However, using the Nightglow Flower to illuminate his surroundings, he saw no living thing, and for the time being, no creatures were spotted in the nearby sea.

Ouyang Yudu gestured to Lin Shen, probably suggesting whether they should go inside the ancient city to take a look.

Lin Shen quickly waved his hand, then pointed at himself and took out the Angel Revolver, from which he launched a Mutant Sea Demon God General.

The Mutant Sea Demon God General, adept at underwater combat, held a trident and swam towards the ancient city with extreme grace, even more freely than outside.

Upon entering the city, the Mutant Sea Demon God General lifted his trident and scraped off a large chunk of the seaweed covering the nearby buildings, revealing the shiny silver metallic walls within.

The Mutant Sea Demon God General cleared away some of the nearby seaweed and found that it seemed all things inside the city were cast of the same silver-white metal. Moreover, the entire city seemed to be one seamless entity, with everything connected together; even the walls were one continuous piece, not bricks piled upon each other.

Lin Shen felt that this city did not seem to be constructed by human hands; it was more like a metal model directly cast in place.

Lin Shen caught a glimpse of Ouyang Yudu turning to look at something out of the corner of his eye, but when Lin Shen followed his gaze, he didn't spot anything.

Ouyang Yudu turned back and gestured to him for a while, seemingly indicating that he felt like something was watching him.

Lin Shen quickly gestured back, trying to tell him that he had the same feeling.

The two gestured at each other for quite a while, unable to understand each other's specific meaning and decided to head back to the Coral Turtle first.

But before they could move, they suddenly saw a blue light rising adjacent to the ancient city, like the morning sun. They turned their heads to see an incomparable behemoth rising from the sea trench below the cliff.

Almost in an instant, they made up their minds and rushed into the ancient city, looking for a place to hide.

Lin Shen cursed inwardly, "Who the hell spread the rumor that there are no Nirvana Creatures on Firce Fire Star? If I had known there were Nirvana Creatures here, I wouldn't have come down."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They saw that the behemoth was even larger than the ancient city itself, resembling a huge butterfly in the sea, emitting blue flames all over. Those flames were clearly imbued with the Attribute of the Power of Nirvana. Where the blue light touched, the Flame Liquid became extremely cold, yet it didn't freeze, which was very strange.

The two entered the ancient city, and Lin Shen immediately recalled the Sea Demon God General. Looking around, he initially intended to find an alley or a corner to hide in, but then he saw a small building with its doors and windows half-open nearby.

Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu exchanged glances, and both nodded. Ouyang Yudu swam in through the window, while Lin Shen pushed the door open and walked in.

As Lin Shen entered, he suddenly felt a heaviness in his body, and to his surprise, found that he was standing on solid ground, no longer having the sensation of being in water—there was no Flame Liquid inside this house.

Turning his head, he saw that all the Flame Liquid was blocked outside the door, as if repelled by some miraculous force.

"Ouyang, have you ever heard of this ancient city?" Lin Shen asked Ouyang Yudu as he saw him putting down the window brace.

"Never heard of it, Firce Fire Star shouldn't have any indigenous civilization, let alone an ancient city. For so many years, no man-made objects have been discovered." Ouyang Yudu said.

Lin Shen also closed the door, whispering, "That thing outside looks like a Nirvana Creature, doesn't it?"

"It seems so. It looks like rumors can't be trusted. There are Nirvana Creatures on Firce Fire Star after all; they just hadn't been discovered before," Ouyang Yudu said with a helpless shake of his head.

The blue light outside grew stronger and stronger. Lin Shen peered through the crack of the door and saw the huge creature, resembling a Blue Light Butterfly, had arrived above the ancient city and was circling around it.

Boom!

The Blue Light Butterfly must have collided with a chain—the entire ancient city shook a few times, and Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu quickly grabbed onto anything they could around them.

Lin Shen prayed inwardly for that thing to leave quickly, but far from leaving, it kept circling the ancient city, occasionally bumping into the city and its chains, causing the entire city to keep shaking.

Fortunately, the ancient city seemed extremely heavy and sturdy, and although the Blue Light Butterfly was a Nirvana Creature, it failed to damage the city.

After a few hits, with the ancient city still undamaged, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the pillar he had been holding.

Taking a step back to get a better look, he hadn't noticed before, but now he saw there were characters carved on the pillar.
