I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

When the many sixth-tier gene powerhouses heard Sun Lin, the plant-type gene powerhouse, say this, they all burst into laughter.

Guan Gu, who repeatedly expressed his utmost admiration for Sun Lin, spoke up:

"Junior Sister Sun's joke really makes me, Old Guan, blush with shame!"

If we follow our other plan and take a long detour to cross the narrow section of the Longmen River, we will have to go through countless battles along the way, and we may even encounter a large number of sixth-tier plant-type source beasts. In that case, I, Lao Guan, will probably consume hundreds of source energy crystals, and everyone else's consumption will definitely not be less!

As a result, with just a few ninth-tier source stone crystals' worth of source energy, Junior Sister Sun enabled everyone to cross the Dragon Gate River, a river that struck fear into the hearts of countless gene warriors. Such skill was beyond the reach of most!

"You old Guan, you're usually so arrogant, and people always say you're cocky whenever something happens. How come you've changed your ways today and are praising my junior sister Sun so many times!"

When Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, heard Guan Gu say this, he couldn't help but smile and speak.

The group of sixth-tier gene powerhouses were clearly quite happy to have crossed the Dragon Gate River so easily, and they were filled with even more anticipation for their next journey to the Climbing Beast's Nest. As a result, the atmosphere in the entire gene team began to lighten up.

Am I usually arrogant? Am I usually domineering? I don't feel that way at all!

Besides, even if I am arrogant and proud in my daily life, that's only natural. If you don't show off, wouldn't you be missing out on 99% of the fun in life?

That said, I, Guan Gu, have rarely admired gene warriors of the same life level in my life. But now, witnessing Junior Sister Sun's abilities, I have to admire her. This special gene ability, which can make various plants grow rapidly at a speed of a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand times faster with a wave of her hand, is comparable to the divine abilities in the ancient legends of our Yun Song Kingdom! However, those divine abilities in those ancient legends are all fictional and have never existed. But Junior Sister Sun's special gene ability is truly being displayed before our very eyes. How can one not admire her!

Guan Gu shook his head and spoke very seriously.

Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, shook his head. "Brother Guan, what you've seen of Junior Sister Sun's methods is only what she's shown so far. You haven't even seen her true strength yet, and you're already like this. If you wait until Junior Sister Sun goes all out, won't you be completely defeated? Hahahaha!"

The other sixth-tier gene powerhouses burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Sun Lin, a strong individual with plant-based genes, slightly raised her chin, revealing a somewhat smug expression.

Seeing everyone and Sun Lin like this, Han Liu, standing next to Lin Xuankong, couldn't help but smack his lips and think to himself: These guys from Yun Song Kingdom are praising this girl so much, they haven't seen my Master Lin's methods. Hehe, when they meet a real tough opponent, you'll know whether your junior sister Sun Lin, who can accelerate plant growth, is more powerful, or my master is more powerful. A bunch of ignorant fools!

The group continued their journey, following the path pointed out by Zhang Yun, the second strongest person in Yun City, and continued deeper into the hills.

The climbing beast that was severely injured by Zhao Jiulin, the strongest person in Yun Song Kingdom, was located almost at the very center of the Qiushan Mountain Range. It is said that a large number of powerful plant-type source beasts reside in that vast deep mountain area. Almost every huge mountain peak has a powerful plant-type source beast that has reached the fifth level of life!

Many gene powerhouses from the Yun Song Kingdom naturally knew the dangers of the Qiu Mountain Range. Therefore, when they set out, they would often observe for a long time in advance to make sure that they would not encounter any powerful fifth-order plant-type source beasts before determining their route!

During this time, in order to bypass several huge mountains and valleys inhabited by powerful fifth-tier plant-type source beasts, these sixth-tier gene powerhouses changed their routes several times!

However, this is still deep in the Qiushan Mountains. No matter how careful they are, they cannot avoid battle. Even though they have avoided the peaks and valleys inhabited by terrifying plant source beasts of the fifth level of life, they inevitably encounter roads inhabited by large numbers of sixth-level plant source beasts!

now,

Looking at the large canyon formed by the two enormous mountain peaks in front of us,

Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, observed carefully for a long time, then shook his head and solemnly said:

"According to Master Zhao's notes, the east and west sides of these two mountain peaks are inhabited by fifth-order plant-type source beasts, Pine Beasts. These powerful plant-type source beasts have a more terrifying attack ability than most plant-type source beasts, and are even more ferocious than the fifth-order climbing beast that Master Zhao severely injured!"

When Master Zhao first arrived here, he had no choice but to pass through this canyon, which was home to many sixth-order plant-type source beasts. Otherwise, he would have had to confront the terrifying fifth-order life level pine beasts head-on!

If we don't want to take a detour of hundreds of miles, we have no other choice but to force our way through this great canyon!

Upon hearing this, many sixth-tier gene powerhouses gripped their alloy weapons tightly and then examined the sixth-tier alloy armor they were wearing.

Forcing their way into the Grand Canyon, which is home to many sixth-tier plant-type source beasts, will definitely lead to a battle. Those plant-type source beasts have always regarded animal-type source beasts and human gene warriors as excellent nourishment, and they will almost never let go of any animal-type source beast or human gene warrior that passes through their territory!

"It's impossible to reach the mountain beast's lair without bloodshed, after all, this is deep in the Qiushan Mountains, one of the four largest gathering areas of plant-type source beasts on this planet! Everyone has already made sufficient preparations for battle before coming to the depths of the Qiushan Mountains!"

However, since Minister Zhang has read Master Zhao's notes, he should know exactly what kind of plant-based source beasts live in this Grand Canyon! Tell everyone so we can be prepared!

Guan Gu, the powerful expert with the Dragon-Elephant gene, frowned as he glanced at the Grand Canyon covered by countless green plants and spoke decisively.

Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, nodded and continued, "According to Master Zhao's notes, the plant-type source beasts living in this Grand Canyon are a genetically mutated poplar tree with considerable combat power!"

Zhao Shi is the strongest person in our Yun Song Kingdom. He is a peak expert who can overpower all the fifth-order gene experts in Yun Song Kingdom. When he passed through this canyon, he killed more than sixty sixth-order Yang beasts that swarmed towards him. The sixth-order Yang beasts were terrified. Therefore, Zhao Shi did not expend much effort to pass through this deep canyon!

Therefore, Zhao Shi only briefly recorded the situation around the Grand Canyon, but did not make much separate record of the poplar beasts that mutated from the poplar trees absorbing source energy!

However, Master Zhao is Master Zhao after all. We disciples and juniors are far from being able to compare with Master Zhao, one of the best among the fifth-order gene experts. Therefore, while Master Zhao was able to pass through this canyon, which is inhabited by a large number of plant-type source beasts, with great ease, we will definitely have to put in some effort!

Regardless, everyone, get ready for battle!

In addition, during the advance, someone must act as the vanguard to scout ahead, so as to prevent the entire team from being directly surrounded by a large number of sixth-tier plant-type source beasts!

"My fellow disciples, Brother Guan, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Han, who would like to be the first to lead the way and explore this grand canyon?"

Many sixth-tier gene powerhouses frowned and remained silent. Whether it was Guan Gu, the dragon-elephant gene powerhouse who used to love talking and creating a lively atmosphere, or Sun Lin, the plant-type gene powerhouse who had led everyone across the Dragon Gate River with ease, they all fell silent.

This is truly deep within the Qiushan Mountains, and according to the notes of Zhao Jiulin, the strongest in the Yun Song Kingdom, a large number of sixth-order plant-type source beasts do indeed live in this great canyon!

In other words, there is a very high chance that the scouts will encounter sixth-tier plant-type source beasts! If they only encounter one or two, or three or four, plant-type source beasts, with the abilities and strength of the many sixth-tier gene experts present, they still have a chance to quickly retreat and lead everyone to choose another route! However, if the scouts encounter a group of seven or eight, or even a dozen or more, sixth-tier plant-type source beasts, once surrounded, retreating will be extremely difficult, and there is even a high possibility of their lives being in danger!

Seeing that many gene-based experts remained silent, Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, frowned. After pondering for a moment, he spoke:

"The people I have gathered for this operation not only possess strength surpassing that of other beings at the same life level, but more importantly, their character is trustworthy. Therefore, I have a suggestion regarding who should act as the scouts to investigate the situation, and I believe everyone will agree!"

The suggestion is that the pathfinder's mission is quite dangerous, and it's unacceptable to let him take the risks for nothing, so we should provide him with some support!

In this canyon inhabited by plant-like creatures, the greatest support comes from Originium crystals, which provide sustained combat power!

What do you all think?

Upon hearing this, many sixth-tier gene powerhouses nodded slightly.

Guan Gu, the Dragon Elephant Gene expert, spoke up, "I absolutely support this. I have a suggestion: since this kind of mission is risky, it should also have a high reward. How about everyone contribute three hundred ninth-tier source stone crystals to that pioneer?"

"I have no objection!" Tian Guang, the Dragon Elephant Gene expert who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment. "Among all my senior brothers and Mr. Guan, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Han, I am probably the one with the weakest personal combat ability. I certainly do not have enough ability to serve as the pioneer. Since that is the case, we must provide enough resources to support the strong who dare to go to the Grand Canyon to explore!"

"I have no objection either!" Huang Liang, a powerful earth-elemental gene expert, immediately spoke up upon hearing Tian Guang's words. "Even if we give them some more ninth-tier source stone crystals, I have no objection. After all, they are pioneers who are taking risks to provide convenience and direction for everyone. Giving them sufficient resources is a sign of respect and goodwill!"

Sun Lin, a plant-based gene powerhouse, nodded and said seriously, "If anyone objects to this, then it is indeed a bit unreasonable!"

Lin Xuankong and Han Liu both nodded in agreement.

There were seven sixth-tier gene powerhouses present, meaning that whoever acted as the scout would directly receive 1,800 ninth-tier source stone crystals! This enormous quantity of ninth-tier source stone crystals was astonishing. Even the sixth-tier gene powerhouses present would feel a pang of regret if they took it out individually. Only 'source beast harvesters' like Lin Xuankong and Han Liu could accumulate several times that number of source stone crystals in such a short time!

In the Tang Kingdom, even the eighth-tier gene warrior captains like You Rui, after accumulating for a long time, only had three to five ninth-tier source stone crystals in their hands. Other eighth-tier gene warriors were roughly the same! Even gene warrior captains who had reached the top level of seventh-tier life could only accumulate dozens or hundreds of ninth-tier source stone crystals, which was already considered an astonishing fortune!

Only these top-tier sixth-order life level gene powerhouses, and the best among them, can readily produce hundreds of ninth-order source stone crystals without much pressure!

Seeing this, Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, nodded to everyone with certainty and said, "I, Zhang Yun, was right. The fellow disciples and friends whom I invited into this team are all extremely sensible! Now, let's see who among you is willing to take on the task of being the vanguard!"

Who's worried about the trailblazers?

When Zhang Yun said those words, all the sixth-tier gene powerhouses present fell silent once again.

Because everyone knows that this is deep in the Qiushan Mountains, and every place may be extremely dangerous at any time. You may encounter extremely powerful plant-type source beasts. Compared with sixth-order animal-type source beasts, sixth-order plant-type source beasts are extremely difficult to deal with, and they often have extremely strong vitality and destructive power!

Taking on the task of being a lone explorer means leaving this team full of powerful individuals and facing unknown risks alone. There is even the possibility of being besieged by a large number of sixth-tier plant-type source beasts at any time. If the retreat is not timely or the danger is not discovered in time, the consequences are unimaginable.

Even with the most generous rewards, the sixth-tier gene powerhouses present would hesitate to undertake such a mission!

For a time,

The numerous sixth-tier gene powerhouses looked at each other in silence, not one of them uttering a word.

Even Sun Lin, the plant-type gene powerhouse who was previously highly sought after by sixth-tier gene powerhouses like Guan Gu, did not volunteer to take on this task! Huang Liang, the earth-type gene powerhouse known for his immense destructive power, also remained silent. Even Zhang Yun, the eldest disciple of Zhao Jiulin, the strongest expert in the Yun Song Kingdom, was equally silent.

It is easy to imagine how difficult and dangerous this pioneering mission was for these sixth-order gene powerhouses who could command the wind and rain in the Yun Song Kingdom and were revered by countless people!
