Chapter 057 - The Alien Queen's Vision

"No wonder it's been hard to break through in terms of spiritual power, but it turns out that it's all because of the genetic lock. If it wasn't for this inexplicable information tip, relying on myself to figure it out blindly, I still don't know when I'll be able to figure it out." Johnsan's heart burst with irritation.

When he thought of the unbearable sharp pain in front of him, his heart went straight to his head.

That message also mentioned about the hatching and evolution of the aliens, and that only after the fourth layer of the genelock was opened, the aliens that had already molted and evolved would produce a second, and final, evolution.

The first time an alien evolves is when it moults and grows after swallowing a magical beast's magic crystals.

For the second evolution, the condition is that the fourth layer of the genetic lock is opened.

As for what the Alien could evolve into the second time around and what ability enhancements it possessed, that piece of information made no mention of it. The hatching of the Alien eggs was also tied to the genelock, and only after the genelock was opened would more Alien eggs hatch.

After opening the fifth layer of the genetic lock, the hatching of alien eggs was no longer limited by quantity.

It was hard to describe the depression of keeping an empty treasure mountain that could not be utilized. It was only this hint that made Johnsan's heart faintly happy.

"I wonder what I'll become after unlocking all the genetic locks."

With this in mind, Johnsan couldn't help but "look" into the mental space, and suddenly, as if seeing the most unbelievable thing, he stood up in horror.

In the spirit space, the alien queen ... that had never moved, like a statue, actually changed her posture!

The original lowered head of the Alien Queen, at this time has been raised flat full of texture streamlined skateboard-like head, originally hanging behind the long tailbone is now swinging in front of the body, lightly resting on the top of a few alien eggs.

Johnsan's breath caught in an inexorable rush, even more so than when he first discovered the Alien Queen in the mental space, and his body shook dramatically as if it had been energized with high voltage.

"Hello." Halfway through the morning, Johnsan calms down a bit and tries to send a mental communication to the Alien Queen.

The Alien Queen did not respond, as before, there was no mental connection between it and Johnsan at all.

"In?"

"Can you hear me?"

......

After sending a half-morning of mental communication to the Alien Queen in a row, it did not respond at all, its suffocatingly huge body standing still as a fossil.

"That message that inexplicably appeared in my mind must be related to the Alien Queen!" Johnsan thought he had found the cause, but the Alien Queen was deathly silent, and communication remained hopeless.

"Complicated mess! Another genelock, another ability to enhance, it seems that the cultivation of spiritual power and fighting qi can't be relaxed either, I've been a bit lazy these days. Unlock the next layer of gene lock, maybe I should be able to communicate with it?" Johnsan thought helplessly in his heart and sat up.

"No wonder I was able to break through to the Grand Summoner rank in one go and learn the Summoning Rune Deed fast, so it's all because of the abilities brought about by the opening of the Genlock. With the name of Summoner in the way, it's best to use it to disguise the alien. It's just that I don't know what kind of ability the opening of the third layer of gene lock will bring."

After rambling on for a while, Johnsan gathered his mind and sat in meditation, and with the experience of the last time, he entered into meditation in no time while running his fighting qi.

......

There was never a shortage of smells of all kinds in Onyna's stone chamber, either aromatic or fishy, stirring together to form another indescribable odor that lingered.

At the entrance of the stone room stood a large pot, which was rolling happily, the fishy red potion spitting bubbles and tumbling with a strong smell. The only apothecary apprentice whose name Onina himself could not remember, the old man with green eyes sat in front of the pot, adding a few handfuls of firewood from time to time. His face was filled with the kind of contentment that comes from compromising with fate.

Inside, there were a few people sitting in front of a stone table, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"There were four challenge duels in the last month, all of which were initiated by those people. In addition to Hari, two magicians and a Great War Master died." Slambi let out a long sigh, breaking the silence in the room.

Gru didn't say anything, his face extra heavy.

"I want to get out of here." The one who spoke was Holy Priest Gasper, his voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the night sky that rang out steeply, and several other people looked over in shock.

"Gasper, don't have that thought, give it up." Gru said, "If others don't know, don't you and I know better? Donald will never let us out."

"Is it hard to have to harbor here for the rest of my life." Slambi's fiery temper flared up, he stood up and angrily said with his neck stretched, "I've stayed here for eighty years, and there's no hope of advancing to the Holy Realm, so I can't even hope for a life outside? Has the Scarlet Narrow Valley really become a hall of words?"

"What's all the yelling about." Onina stood up, subconsciously glanced towards the door, tugged Slambi to sit down, and advised, "Woe betide you, these angry words can be whined about in front of a few of us old guys, but they must not be said outside."

Slambi was also momentarily angry, knowing that these old friends would not spread rumors, but the words were still a bit regretful, grunted a few times, and stopped talking.

"Gasper, take our advice and give up the idea." Gelu and Gasper had always been good friends, and persuaded bitterly, "You and I both know that the Scarlet Narrows is completely different from thirty years ago, and Donald will not allow us to leave without being able to release anyone. If you insist on leaving, what kind of consequences I won't say, you know yourself."

Gasper let out a bitter smile and shook his head. Unexpectedly, the same sentence flooded the hearts of several old guys.

"Donald, once upon a time you were kind and gentle, how did you become so cold and tyrannical after advancing to the Saint level! What changed you?"

......

"Whoosh ..." an alien swooped down from the trunk of a tree, pouncing on a Class 4 magical beast Arrow-haired Porcupine that couldn't dodge in time, and just as the Arrow-haired Porcupine's howl rang out, with a puff, its head was pierced by its hyoid bone and its body spasmed to death. The head was pierced through by the alien's hyoid bone, and its body spasmed and died.

The pack alien carrying Johnsan then leapt out of the woods, and he couldn't look at the crystallized nucleus of the fourth level magical beast, glancing at it and running down again in the direction of the scouting alien.

Today Johnsan's goal was a cave in the south near the wall of the gorge, where there were no less than a hundred Blizzard Wolves. Normal Blizzard Wolves were rank four magical beasts, while Wolf Kings usually had rank five strength.

More than ten days had passed, these days Johnsan had hatched a total of ten aliens out, except for the two used for experiments that used low level magical beasts as hosts, the others were all magical beast hosts of level five or above.

As Johnsan's original guess, the lower level magical beasts could only give the Alien some basic abilities, and could not be substantially improved, and it was only from the fifth level magical beasts that the Alien's speed and power would take a qualitative leap. However, the sixth level magical beast hosts are not much more than the fifth level in terms of strength and speed, nothing more than the power of some spitting magic to improve.

"It would be nice to run into a level 7 Wraith." Sitting on the alien's back, Johnsan let go of his senses to receive mental communication from the probing and wary aliens around him.

Nearly half a month had passed, yet he had never encountered a level seven magical beast.

Since there wasn't much difference between level 5 and level 6, and there was more hope of survival if there could be one more Alien in this weird blood-colored Narrow Valley, Johnsan didn't force himself any further, and as long as there were any suitable level 5 Magical Beasts, they were all used by him to be the Alien's hosts.

Today, his target was that Blizzard Wolf King, and this news was still told to him by Blondie.

Following the thick woods all the way south, Johnsan rode the alien for a long time, but hadn't yet found the cave Blondie had mentioned.

"Boom!"

Violent magical explosions came from the forest, and Johnsan scowled while he received a mental communication back from the alien.

Sending mental commands to the other xenomorphs, along with the lurking xenomorphs, Johnsan quietly felt his way in that direction, guided by the xenomorphs' spirits.

After walking for about five hundred meters or so, Johnsan could see far ahead of him the appearance of towering chasm walls, with earthy magical light occasionally flashing through the forest, and the occasional sound of violent magical storms.

Without Johnsan having to command him, the alien at his hip practically fell to the ground and lurked noiselessly behind a thick forest of bushes.

Looking out through the gap, in the air in front of the chasm wall, there were three people sparring with a magical beast.

"Fifth level magic beast earth salamander." Johnsan was instantly disinterested, and his eyes went to the three men, and at this look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

A young girl in a white sarong floated in mid-air, her face with a clear cold, the light on the magic staff in her hand was so bright that a wind blade with a blistering sound cut through the sky, splitting towards the earth salamander on the ground more than four meters long, but it was Johnsan's thunderstorm that had not been seen for a long time.

"Why her!" Johnsan said in his mind, looking over at the other two.

The other man and woman are much older, the man has a long beard, from time to time cast a channel of ice vertebrae stabbing at the earth salamanders. Another middle-aged woman unusual appearance, but also a magician, with her crisp magic mantra chanting, the ground on the stone soil as magnets sucked together quickly gathered, slowly presented a three-meter-high stone man.

The skin of the earth salamander was tougher than gold, and it was not hurt by the wind blade and ice vertebrae. Only to see it open its mouth and spit out a stone egg at the three people, and immediately closed its mouth, a few wind blades and ice vertebrae hit on its lips, without the slightest damage.

Under the unceasingly powerful magic attacks, the earth salamander didn't dare to rush over. The belly of its front limbs was the key point, if it acted rashly, as long as it was hit by a magic strike, it would be seriously injured if not killed.

Thunderstorm floated in the air, dodging very lightly, the other two were not so comfortable, the magic shield was hit by a ripple on the stone bullet, the light faded.

"Boom!" The middle-aged female magician's stone man was finally finished, and the three-meter-tall stone man took a big step towards the earth salamander.

After casting this magic, the middle-aged female magician had some symptoms of magic exhaustion, and the earth-colored magic shield on her body was nearly transparent.

At the same time, the other male magician's advanced magic was also finished preparing, and he saw the white mist in front of him, a four-meter-long water snake condensed, and flew towards the earth salamander with the water mist.
