My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly

When the group of graystone beetles and two kobolds completely vanished from the eyes of the four, the latter exchanged a mutual glance. There was a blank expression in all their eyes.

“...what’s their situation exactly?”

“In the past, I heard that human saying that he had his own companions. Could his companions be the two kobolds?”

“Humans would actually form companions with kobolds? That’s very rare.”

“Don’t we have a kobold in our team? Why would it be rare?”

The elf leader didn’t find it strange.

The kobold named ‘Yellow’ and the human male stared at each other before they grinned.

“From their appearances, could it be that the human has accidentally offended the bug swarm, and then the two kobolds are currently trying to kill the bugs to help him?”

“Kobolds are affectionate and loyal indeed!”

Yellow had a look of being emotionally moved on his face.

“It’s the same as us!”

The tall and skinny elf also nodded.

“Alright, we shouldn’t go and disturb them. Let’s change our directions.”

......

The elf leader waved his hands and led his team toward another tunnel.

…

Time continued flowing and roughly over an hour later, the two kobolds were both panting heavily.

When they glanced ahead, they saw that the number of graystone beetles had increased even more.

There were now over 30 of them, and they all charged forward with great momentum. Anyone who saw this scene would feel as though it was a great exaggeration.

After all, it was a given that Lu Yuan would encounter more bugs as he continued on his way. There was basically no chance for him to kill them so he could naturally continue running. All of these newly encountered graystone beetles then chose to merge with the group.

The gene fighters he met on the way all chose to avoid him when they saw so many bugs chasing after him.

When everyone saw him leading a group of graystone beetles, everyone stared at him as though he was a demon.

This was simply overly ridiculous. Was he unafraid of death?!

The two kobolds now felt their scalps turning numb when they saw the current number of graystone beetles.

If they were surrounded, they probably wouldn’t even have their bones left, right?

Their gazes swept past the bug swarm and focused on Lu Yuan who was running ahead.

Lu Yuan’s running speed wasn’t lagging at all. In fact, they couldn’t even see any signs of fatigue from him.

This caused the two kobolds to have a shocked and hopeless look in their eyes.

The brown-furred kobold was now so tired that his tongue was hanging outside.

He panted as he spoke.

“Elder brother, what’s going on with that human?! His speed is clearly inferior to us, but why is his endurance so strong?!”

The gray-furred kobold frowned and stared gloomily at Lu Yuan’s back. A look of disbelief could be seen in his eyes.

“This shouldn’t be the case…why is this so? Even for us, our spirit qi is almost exhausted. Logically, he should be even more tired than us, but why does it seem that he’s completely fine?”

The gray-furred kobold thought so much until his head almost broke, but he still couldn’t figure out why.

“Elder brother, what should we do now? Our spirit qi is almost fully exhausted. If this continues, things will be very dangerous for us if we run into an opponent.”

The gray-furred kobold also understood this.

He stared at Lu Yuan’s departing back as his eyes flashed. After falling silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

“That human can count himself as lucky! We won’t chase him anymore. Hehe, there are so many graystone beetles chasing him. I don’t believe he can survive! At that time, he will be eaten until not even his bones are left!”

“Elder bro is correct! I feel that he definitely won’t be able to live. Let’s consider it as us going easy on him.”

“Let’s stop.”

The two kobolds halted and watched as Lu Yuan led the bug swarm away.

Only until Lu Yuan and the bugs vanished did they leave in another direction.

Lu Yuan would occasionally turn his head to check the situation behind him.

Now when he turned, he couldn’t see the kobolds anymore. He started for a moment before he felt joy!

“That two dogs have finally given up?! Damn, they could actually persist for so long!”

Lu Yuan was somewhat speechless. The two kobolds actually chased him for over an hour!

Over an hour!

(Do you know how I survived for the past hour?!)

He seemed to have traveled through an entire small region in the Graystone Forest. He had also met plenty of gene fighters on the way.

He couldn’t understand what exactly made those two kobolds so persistent.

Luckily, for the sake of emergencies, Lu Yuan had specially stored a spirit crystal on him. In addition to the spirit crystal he obtained when he encountered the two kobolds, he had a total of two spirit crystals with him.

He depended on absorbing the spirit qi in the spirit crystal to fuel his body, allowing him to maintain his stamina as he continued running.

And now, he had started to use his second crystal.

If he finished using this crystal, he would really have no solution left.

Fortunately, the two kobolds finally gave up.

However…

Lu Yuan turned his head and stared at the densely-packed graystone beetle swarm. His lips violently trembled.

Damn…Earlier, he didn’t think that he would be able to gather so many graystone beetles!

(Big bros, are you guys not tired at all?!)

(I’m not a rock, why don’t you guys just go and eat rocks!?)

Luckily, Lu Yuan’s speed was still slightly faster than the graystone beetles.

Earlier, the bug swarm served as a deterrence for the two kobolds. Because Lu Yuan didn’t want the situation to change due to variables and because he wanted to conserve his stamina, he intentionally ran at a slower pace.

Now, as long as he put in all his effort to run, he would be able to easily shake the bugs off given some time.

Hence, Lu Yuan started to increase his speed.

He gradually lengthened the distance between him and the bug swarm.

Although there would still be graystone beetles in front of him occasionally, Lu Yuan’s speed didn’t reduce much. The newly appeared graystone beetles were also gradually shaken off.

Another ten minutes passed and there was finally no more commotion behind Lu Yuan.

He turned his head and looked. There were indeed no graystone beetles behind him. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Lu Yuan then exhaled and leaned against a stone wall as he sat down while panting.

The spirit energy in the two crystals was already fully exhausted. Right now, his body was very tired. Under the sweltering heat, his body seemed to be drenched in sweat.

At this moment, Lu Yuan took out a large bottle of water and gulped a few gigantic mouthfuls as he exhaled in satisfaction. He then poured the water on his head and entire body.

After that, he took out energy bars and ate them, feeling a warm sensation in his body. Only then did Lu Yuan reveal a smile.

The feeling of being alive was truly great.

After taking a short rest, he stood up and began to survey the surroundings.

There were four gigantic stone pillars at his current location which branched out into four tunnels. There was also a small field of roughly 100 meters in radius at the center.

The surrounding environment was very quiet. There were no sounds of combat.

Earlier, he had spent his time running away haphazardly, so he had no idea which direction he had been running in.

In any case, it didn’t matter where he ran to. Surviving was the most important.

Next, he finally could continue hunting at ease.

Lu Yuan casually chose a tunnel and entered.

Not long later, Lu Yuan encountered a lone graystone beetle.

He then rushed up and swiftly killed it before collecting the graystone armor and spirit crystal.

After absorbing the spirit crystal, his strength and stamina began to swiftly recover.

Lu Yuan continued advancing by following the path. After he walked a certain distance, he suddenly halted as he stared ahead with large eyes.

There was a cave that only had an entrance and not an exit before him.

It was a dead-end a hundred meters ahead, but in the area near the dead-end, there were two graystone beetles currently eating rocks.

The appearances of these two graystone beetles were completely different from the ones Lu Yuan had met earlier.

They were roughly one meter tall and on their back that was covered with graystone armor, there were black-colored runic patterns.

Black-rune graystone beetles.

Lu Yuan only came to his senses a moment later.

These two bugs were the strongest among graystone beetles. They were elite-grade ferocious beasts!

Different from common-grade beasts, the strength of elite-grade beasts was several times greater than their common-grade counterparts! Not only so, but they also possessed unique battle techniques and they were extremely powerful.

Even for graystone beetles, one of the weakest types of beasts, their elite-grade bugs were extremely strong existences.

And there were actually two here.

However, this wasn’t the reason why Lu Yuan was shocked.

What truly made Lu Yuan feel shocked was that behind the black-rune graystone beetles, there was a wooden chest quietly sitting.

The chest was about half a matter tall and looked ordinary. However, this caused Lu Yuan’s heartbeat to speed up.

There were all sorts of treasures that could be found in the treasure chests of the Land of Origins!

Precious extraordinary genes, genetic armaments, special medicine with powerful effects, and even valuable knowledge, etc. All of these could be obtained from treasure chests.

To any gene fighters, it could be considered a moment of great fortune if they encountered a treasure chest.

This represented a gigantic harvest!

Misfortune and fortune worked hand-in-hand. Lu Yuan didn’t expect that after being chased for several hundred streets’ worth of distance, he actually accidentally discovered a treasure chest?!

(This good luck…as expected of me?!)

(The question now is…what should I do about the two black-rune graystone beetles?)

Lu Yuan stared at the two large-scale bugs and felt a headache. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Even for two ordinary graystone beetles, it would be somewhat difficult for Lu Yuan to kill them, let alone elite-grade black-rune graystone beetles.

Just a single one was enough to dominate him.

Now that there were two, they could probably string him up and use him as a punching bag for their joint attacks.
