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

Han Bao patted the chicken coop on Han Liu's head.

"You brat, haven't you ever heard of Beast Spirits? Don't tell me you knew absolutely nothing about Gene Warriors before the Source Beast Disaster!"

After being patted on the shoulder by Han Bao, Han Liu couldn't help but look again at the round, ball-like "Princess," and said with a strange expression:

"No way, no way, Brother Leopard, you mean this round, clumsy little guy, like a ball, is actually a beast spirit?"

Han Bao patted Han Liu's messy hair again, "What do you mean 'like a ball'? This is the egg of that predator python. Before it hatched, it was tamed by Master Lin himself using the Taming Source Technique. This is an extremely precious beast spirit of predator level or above. Even the strongest country on the entire continent, Yunqin, doesn't have many such beast spirits!"

This kind of beast spirit is a source beast by nature, without needing to undergo a mutation process, so it possesses extremely strong talent. Its talent surpasses that of a ninth-tier source beast or its offspring by many times, making it comparable in talent to a super genius among humans with 100% compatibility!

"This"

Han Liu's eyes widened slightly.
"This little thing, the size of a ball, you're saying it possesses a talent comparable to my sister Han Yu, a genius with 100% compatibility? Does that mean that when its source beast life level advances, there are no bottlenecks, and it can grow stronger without limit?"

Han Bao nodded very firmly.
"That's for sure!"
Who knows, someday, this so-called little ball-like creature you speak of might become as powerful as you, or even surpass your level of existence.
Of course, I may not be able to be its match in the future.

I reckon this little guy will become Master Lin's strongest assistant someday!

Han Liu pursed his lips, looking rather disapproving.

At this moment, this guy had just advanced to the eighth level of life and gained extremely strong new special gene abilities. He was at the height of his pride and arrogance. How could he possibly believe that this round, fat snake, like a little ball, could surpass his life level in the future!
At this moment, the 'Princess' seemed to have understood the conversation between Han Bao and Han Liu. It wiggled its round body, moved closer to Han Liu, raised its short neck and snake head, stared at Han Liu, and flicked its tongue, clearly with a hint of provocation.

"Hey hey hey, you little fat snake, you're planning to provoke me? Hehehe, at least wait until you're an eighth-order life form. Right now, you're still too weak and too small, little fat ball!"

Han Liu proudly manifested his enormous Void Devouring Worm, which floated in front of the little fat snake. After Han Liu advanced to the eighth-order life level, the Void Devouring Worm grew many times longer and fatter, looking several times larger than the little fat snake!
Especially since this Void Devouring Insect has no eyes, ears, or nose, only a huge, dark mouth with a mouthful of sharp fangs, it looks quite ferocious. At the very least, with this abyss-like, dark mouth, its originally chubby body doesn't look so friendly, but rather carries a contrasting sense of ferocity and eeriness!
The little fat snake 'Princess' was only a newly born early-stage ninth-order source beast. Upon suddenly seeing such a ferocious and bizarre manifestation, its body twitched, and it quickly rolled away, hiding beside Lin Xuankong's legs!

Once it reached this position, the little fat snake 'Princess' was no longer so frightened and gained some confidence, continuing to open its mouth towards Han Liu and flick its tongue.

Seeing the little fat snake like this,
Han Liu immediately laughed, flicked his messy hair, struck what he thought was a rather cool pose, pointed at the little fat snake 'Princess's' head, and said smugly, "Little guy, you really are no good! If you ask me, you should behave yourself in front of me and Brother Leopard. At least, you should wait until you grow bigger and have more to your name before you show off to me!"

Lin Shi's first assistant

It's either me or Brother Leopard.
"Who gave you the right, you little fat snake!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bao couldn't help but laugh, and Lin Xuankong also shook his head and chuckled.

Having successfully taken down the predator-level source beast's lair, the three reaped a rich harvest. Not only did Han Liujin advance to the eighth-tier life level, but Han Bao's strength also improved, and Lin Xuankong obtained a considerable amount of source stone crystals and predator-level source beast crystals, as well as a rather intelligent beast spirit! With such a great harvest, the three were naturally overjoyed.

Most importantly, when the three of them were weak, this Stone City Ruins was a place of constant danger for them, where they could be hunted down by powerful hordes of Source Beasts at any moment! Now, apart from the extremely rare seventh-tier tyrannical Source Beasts and the extremely rare large groups of predatory Source Beasts, there were almost no Source Beasts that could threaten them! Under these circumstances, the three of them naturally relaxed for once, and Han Bao and Han Liu even felt like teasing Lin Xuan Kong's beast spirit!

"Alright, now that you've advanced to the eighth-order life form, eat more of the flesh of the canine source beasts to accelerate the transformation of your body!"

Han Bao did the same; in the next few days, he continued to intensify his training to improve his strength!
"Once this princess has absorbed the flesh and blood of the source beasts and increased her strength to the point where she can protect herself in battle, then we'll go and wipe out the other predator-level source beast lairs!"

After Han Liu had teased the little fat snake for a while, Lin Xuankong finally spoke.

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Han Bao and Han Liu were both taken aback and looked at Lin Xuankong. Han Bao couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Master Lin, now that we have dealt with the predator nests that were threatening several shelters and gained so much, why are we still not returning to Shelter Thirty-Six?"

Lin Xuankong shook his head, his gaze drifting towards the glass skylight of the Yuan Chu Supermarket. "For ordinary disaster victims and those gene warriors of average strength, shelters with powerful firepower and various equipment are of course exactly what they need! But for the two of us and me, who are already eighth-tier life forms, probably ninety percent of the ruins of this Stone City are safe havens. Where can't we find food? Where can't we rest peacefully? Besides, what's the point of going back to Shelter No. 36 now? Neither of you has reached the top level of eighth-tier life form. The ruins of this Stone City are full of resources; it's a treasure trove for you to undergo various trials and obtain various source beast resources!"

Don't you two think so?

Upon hearing this, Han Liu's eyes lit up.
This guy has advanced to the eighth level of life and gained new abilities, so he's naturally itching to get rid of them. He can't wait to find a group of ninth-level source beasts and beat them up to vent his frustration!
He glared at the still somewhat unconvinced little fat snake beside him, then nodded repeatedly to Lin Xuankong and said, "Master Lin, tell me, where do we go now, and which group of source beasts' lairs to raid! Don't worry, when we get to the source beasts' lairs, Little Six will definitely be the first to rush in and slaughter them!"

Lin Xuankong ignored the arrogant fellow who had just reached the eighth-order life level and was already strutting around; instead, he looked at Han Bao.
"When you were a member of the auxiliary security team, you went on many missions with Deputy Captain Ma, Deputy Captain You and others, and transported supplies many times. You should have a good understanding of the approximate distribution of the source beast horde in the Stone City ruins!"

Han Bao nodded and said, "I can only say I have a basic understanding. When I went on missions with Deputy Captain Ma and Deputy Captain You, the supply transport teams basically relied on the life detectors on the armored vehicles to find the source beast lairs and groups of source beasts in advance, and then we would go around them from a distance! So, I don't know the exact location of those source beast groups, but I do have some general impression of their directions!"

Han Liu, his hair a mess, leaned closer. "That's good. Now that we have a general idea of ​​the location, that's enough. Leopard, you lead the way. Let's pick the closest one and go for it. This Void Devouring Insect is itching to go. Don't stop me from going to the next Source Beast Nest. I'm going to be the first one there, the vanguard!!"

Han Bao nodded slightly and looked at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong then said, "Alright, then you should know where the nearest predator-level source beast nest is, right? Let's wait here for two days, finish consuming the source beast flesh and blood we've harvested, and stabilize our strength before setting off immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bao's face lit up with a fighting spirit, and he nodded, saying, "I will follow Master Lin's arrangements!"

Han Liu, who had been clamoring that he would be the first to attack when they encountered a source beast's lair and would definitely be the vanguard, opened his mouth and asked hesitantly, "Are you that fierce, Master Lin? Instead of finding a ninth-tier source beast's lair first, why are you going straight for the predator source beast's lair and killing it?"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then led the round, chubby little snake to the side, preparing to continue cultivating and improving his strength.

Han Bao glanced at Han Liu, who had his mouth agape, and burst into laughter. "Remember what you said? In the next Source Beast Nest, you, Han Liu, must be the first to go, the vanguard! Don't worry, Brother Bao will definitely help you. I'll find a larger nest with more predator Source Beasts than this one, so you, the vanguard, can have a good time! And don't worry, Xiao Liu, Brother Bao definitely won't interfere, and definitely won't disturb your chance to have a good time!"

After saying that, he walked to the side, preparing to find an open space to practice the basics of Origin Techniques and hone his body.

Upon hearing Han Bao's words, Han Liu, who was just at the early stage of the eighth-order life level, immediately turned bitter and was speechless!
If there are more source beasts in a nest than in this predator source beast nest, then there must be at least six or seven powerful predator source beasts. Han Liu suddenly felt that his current strength seemed to be a bit insufficient!

In a blink of an eye,
It was already more than ten days later.

A truck slowly drove up from a distance on the main street where Vault 36 was located.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Han Bao glanced at Shelter No. 36, several kilometers away, and frowned, saying, "It's been almost twenty days. I wonder if anything has happened at Shelter No. 36, and how are Deputy Captain Ma and Deputy Captain You?"

Han Liu sat to the side, tore off a piece of meat jerky from a predator-level cat-type source beast, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, shaking his head and saying, "You don't need to worry about the safety of Vice Captain Ma and Vice Captain You, Brother Leopard! They are both eighth-tier gene warriors, and at the mid-stage of the eighth-tier life level, their strength is quite remarkable, second only to Captain Xu!"
Within the entire Vault 36, only Captain Xu possessed the strength to pose any threat to the two of them. The other gene warriors hadn't even reached the eighth-tier life level; how could they possibly threaten them! Moreover, many gene warriors in the vault had good relationships with Vice Captain Ma. Even if any conflicts arose within the vault, Vice Captain Ma and Vice Captain You Rui wouldn't be in any danger!

Han Bao frowned and said, "You've never been a security team member, so you haven't personally witnessed some of the dirty dealings behind the scenes at Shelter 36, and you're even less aware of the problems within Tang Kingdom's gene warrior organization! Besides, if there are problems at Shelter 36, it's not necessarily an internal issue. For example, there are those powerful source beasts, or the gene warriors from Yunqin Kingdom that have already posed a threat to Stone City!"

At this point, Han Bao slowly pulled the truck to the side of the road. "Han Liu, this time when you return to Shelter 36 with Master Lin, besides delivering Predator-level Originium Crystals to Deputy Captain Ma and Deputy Captain You Rui, remember to also distribute some of the supplies obtained from the ruins of the various large supermarkets to the disaster victims! In addition, it would be best if you could invite Deputy Captain Ma and Deputy Captain You Rui to leave the shelter together and hunt Originium Beasts in the ruins of Stone City with Master Lin! Shelter 36, with Xu Chong's cousin, Captain Xu, that cold-blooded captain, is never a safe place!"
Princess Little Fatty Snake and I are waiting for Master Lin and you around here!

Upon hearing this, Han Liu looked at Han Bao with some confusion. "Brother Bao, you're so worried about Deputy Captain Ma and Deputy Captain You, and also about those disaster victims. Why don't you go back to Shelter No. 36 with Master Lin? Now your strength is the same as Master Lin's, mine, and Little Fatty Snake's—you're already at the top level of the eighth-tier life form. No one in Shelter No. 36 would dare to act recklessly! If you ask me, why not just take over Shelter No. 36 and drive out that damned Captain Xu and those damn gene warriors you've always disliked? That would be the right thing to do!"
Thus,
Let's join forces with the two of us and that little fat snake to help Master Lin build a shelter that belongs to the three of us and our beast spirit. Then, together with Vice Captain Ma and Vice Captain You, we'll build this Shelter No. 36 into an impregnable fortress. We can also gather and recruit gene warriors and disaster victims from other shelters to develop this shelter properly!

Oh, and there's my older sister Han Yu. She's even more talented than me. Once she meets Master Lin, becomes his student, and gets his guidance, she'll definitely be able to catch up with the three of us in the future!

By then, Vault 36 will definitely be much larger and stronger. Wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want? Wouldn't that be wonderful? (End of Chapter)
