Superbase Evolution

Chapter 16 Mutant Steel Tailed Scorpion

Lin Shen was delighted and hurried to the incubation chamber. He looked through the glass lid and saw a crack on the steel-tailed scorpion's genetically modified egg.

Click!

There was another crisp sound, and several cracks appeared on the steel-like base egg. These cracks spread outward from a point as the center.

Click!

The center of the crack was suddenly pierced, and a slightly curved black steel spike penetrated out, with the tip flashing with a terrifyingly sharp coldness.

Before Lin Shen could see the pitch-black steel spikes clearly, they suddenly retracted in the next second.

Click!

Almost at the moment it was retracted, the pitch-black steel spikes stabbed out again. Under the continuous piercing, the eggshell could not withstand it and shattered completely. A black metal scorpion with a completely black body and the size of a palm crawled out.

"Is this a steel-tailed scorpion?" Lin Shen stared at the steel-tailed scorpion that was gnawing on the eggshell, feeling a little surprised.

There are many genetically modified creatures such as the Steel-tailed Scorpion near the Xuanniao Base, and they reproduce very quickly. The value of genetically modified eggs is not high, and can basically be bought with the price of a meal.

There are many mutants who have steel-tailed scorpion pets, and even ordinary people who have not undergone mutations have steel-tailed scorpion pets.

Lin Shen had seen so many wild and pet steel-tailed scorpions, but he had never seen one like this one.

Generally, steel-tailed scorpions have steel-colored shells, and most of them have some rust-like spots on their shells.

However, this steel-tailed scorpion was completely black, as if it was made of black iron, and its body was slightly larger than that of an ordinary newly born steel-tailed scorpion.

Without time to think, Lin Shen acted quickly and took out a few larger egg shells, which made the steel-tailed scorpion very angry. It waved its claws and scorpion tail in an attempt to attack Lin Shen and take back the egg shells.

After trying several times, he found that he could not attack Lin Shen at all, so he could only eat the remaining small eggshells in anger.

After eating, the steel-tailed scorpion turned a few circles, then jumped up and rushed towards Lin Shen's face like a cannonball.

Lin Shen was well prepared. He raised a metal shield that he had prepared long ago and held it in front of himself.

With a clang, the steel-tailed scorpion's tail pierced the metal shield and actually made a small hole. If its tail hook had not been long enough, the metal shield would have been pierced through.

Lin Shen was both surprised and delighted. The shield in his hand was made of alloy biological materials. Normal steel creatures should not be able to break through it.

The strength and hardness of the steel-tailed scorpion are not enough to cause damage to such a shield, let alone a newly hatched steel-tailed scorpion, even an adult steel-tailed scorpion cannot do any damage.

This steel-tailed scorpion was actually able to pierce through the alloy shield directly, which only meant that its strength and hardness were much stronger than those of ordinary steel-tailed scorpions.

"The mutant eggs with fire are indeed different." Lin Shen blocked the steel-tailed scorpion's attacks again and again until it gradually became exhausted.

When genetically modified creatures are just born, they need to eat their own eggshells to replenish the energy consumed in breaking the shell, so that they will have strength.

This steel-tailed scorpion only ate a little egg shell, and its physical strength was not replenished at all, so it was exhausted after a while.

The steel-tailed scorpion no longer had the strength to attack Lin Shen. After turning around a few times, it suddenly lifted its tail forward as far as it could, revealing its abdomen at the back.

The abdomen was also shining with cold light like a black iron shell. One part of it suddenly popped out and turned into a small black iron key that flew towards Lin Shen.

Lin Shen reached out and grabbed the key, breathed a sigh of relief, put down the shield in his hand, and placed the remaining egg shells in front of the steel-tailed scorpion.

The genetically modified creatures that have just hatched from the eggs are already in a confused state and have little physical strength. Luring them with eggshells provides the easiest opportunity to tame them. If you miss the opportunity, it will be much more troublesome to tame them.

The steel-tailed scorpion quickly ate all the egg shells. Its body became darker and colder, and a cold light flashed on its tail.

With the base transformation key in hand, the steel-tailed scorpion seemed to be able to sense Lin Shen's thoughts, crawled in front of Lin Shen, turned around, raised its tail, and pointed the keyhole under its belly at Lin Shen. Lin Shen inserted the key back and turned it gently, and the steel-tailed scorpion's body suddenly underwent incredible changes.

Every part of the steel-tailed scorpion's body was rotating and shrinking as it changed. Soon it turned into a black metal capsule the size of a quail egg.

Lin Shen reached out to catch the pet capsule, pulled out the key, and his eyes fell on the information displayed on the side of the capsule.

Mutated Steel Tail Scorpion: Steel Creature (Evolvable)

Strength: 10.

Speed: 9.9.

Hardness:10.

Toughness:10.

Basic transformation talent: Strengthen the armor-piercing thorns.

After seeing the properties of the Steel-Tailed Scorpion, Lin Shen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Its four stats are almost at the full steel level, and its mutation talent is the Armor-Piercing Thorn that can enhance the armor-piercing ability, and it is a strengthened Armor-Piercing Thorn. The Armor-Piercing Thorn talent is common, and the powerful Armor-Piercing Thorn talent seems to be possessed only by some special mutation creatures. This mutant steel-tailed scorpion is undoubtedly an excellent offensive pet.

These were not enough to make Lin Shen so ecstatic. What really surprised him was that this mutant steel-tailed scorpion actually had the property of evolution.

This means that the mutant steel-tailed scorpion has the opportunity to be promoted to alloy or even crystal-based level, and its value is incomparable to that of an ordinary steel pet.

Although the Speedster is at alloy level, that is his ceiling and there is no possibility of promotion. He is a powerful helper to Lin Shen now, but he is destined to be eliminated in the future.

If this mutant steel-tailed scorpion is trained properly, its role in the future may be far greater than that of the speedster.

"The Spark Genetic Mutation Egg is indeed extraordinary." Lin Shen put away the Mutant Steel Tailed Scorpion Capsule and his eyes fell on the other two Genetic Mutation Eggs that had not yet hatched.

"Unfortunately... I don't have time..." Lin Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Genetic transformation takes time, not just one or two days. If Lin Shen had not gone to Hulu Mountain, he could have chosen one of the remaining two genetic transformation eggs and completed the genetic transformation to the steel level.

But it is too late now. The Qi and Wang families cannot wait for him to complete the genetic transformation before going to Hulu Mountain.

So far, it is still difficult to distinguish between friend and foe of Concubine Bai. There are many contradictions in her actions, which makes it difficult to guess.

The super-basic evolutionary fire in her body made her origins even more of a mystery, and Lin Shen found it difficult to judge.

In addition, there must be spies within the Lin family, which can be said to be internal and external troubles.

Lin Shen found a backpack and put the remaining two genetically modified eggs in it, intending to take them to Hulu Mountain. If there was a chance, he might be able to complete the genetic transformation there.

"These things are not yet able to become real combat power. The abilities bestowed by the fire are more real. But where can I get the fire? Where are there so many genetically modified eggs that I haven't seen before?" Lin Shen thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He thought of where there were so many genetically modified eggs that he had never seen before.

The mutated eggs in that place were not normal mutated eggs, but dead eggs that failed to hatch.

Those genetically modified eggs not only failed to hatch genetically modified organisms, but also completely solidified during the hatching process and could no longer be used to extract genetically modified liquid. Most of them would be melted and used as industrial materials.

Even though it was a dead egg, it was still a genetically modified egg after all, so Lin Shen still planned to try his luck.

The three major families have warehouses specifically used to store dead eggs. If Lin Shen wants to see the warehouses of the other two, he has to think of some ways. But if he wants to see his own warehouse, he can see it without any scruples.

"I hope the latest batch of dead eggs has not been sent to the factory yet." Lin Shen didn't want to wait a moment, so he went out and headed towards his own warehouse where the dead eggs were stored.
