Before Ye Feng was a large, uneven metal wall, seemingly made of the same material as the passage walls.
His Barrett bullets and napalm seemed to have failed to harm Xu Xun, all blocked by Wen Jie Jie, leaving only a few large bullet holes and vast expanses of burning flames.
At this moment, the giant metal wall that Wen Jie Jie had transformed into was retracting, gradually returning to its human form.
He didn't know how he managed it, but with a few swings, he tossed the fiercely burning napalm aside.
However, Wen Jie Jie's complexion was somewhat pale, and his skin bore burn marks in multiple places.
"Hiss~"
"So painful!"
"Damn it, Wen Jie Jie, you t—"
Ye Feng muttered and walked with Xiao Xiao in one direction.
"Cluck cluck cluck~"
"Sizzle sizzle~"
Suddenly, a chicken's crow echoed, followed closely by the distinct sound of electrical discharge.
"What the heck? Volt Chicken is still alive?"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
He had thought that the cluster of spikes Wen Jie Jie had unleashed would surely have impaled the Volt Chicken like a hedgehog, but this sound...
Unable to resist his curiosity, Ye Feng walked towards the direction of the Volt Chicken.
...
On the other side,
Deep within the Red Shore ruins, in a dense forest,
A middle-aged man with powerfully built, bulging muscles and a young girl walked side by side.
"Cough cough~! Cough~"
Han Xian Xing had taken the Viagra given by Ye Feng, and his pulmonary hypertension symptoms had somewhat eased, but he still coughed intermittently.
"Father, you really didn't need to come on this exploration of the Red Shore ruins. With Uncle Xu and Uncle Tie here, my safety is guaranteed!"
"Even if we encounter a monster we can't defeat, Uncle Xu can fly us away!"
Han Qiu Li looked at Han Xian Xing, who coughed from time to time, with a look of concern.
"Li Li, it's nothing. This cough is just because I'm not deliberately suppressing it!"
Han Xian Xing waved his hand gently. "Besides, in this world of residual fires, while there are all sorts of dangerous monsters, the most dangerous thing is the human heart!"
After speaking, Han Xian Xing looked around, then finally stopped walking. "Li Li, there's something I think it's time to tell you!"
"What is it?"
Han Qiu Li also stopped advancing, looking at her father with great curiosity.
"Li Li, why do you think I personally come every time we explore the Red Shore ruins?"
Instead of stating it directly, Han Xian Xing posed another question.
"Is it to strengthen serum?"
"But Father, you've already injected the Level 1 strengthening serum and gained the power of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even if you get other serums, unless they are of the Level 1 strengthening serum's caliber, they won't mean much to you..."
"Father is doing this for me... But Father has never let me inject strengthening serum before... instead, he made me cultivate arcane energy and train my combat skills with Uncle Xu and Uncle Tie..."
Han Qiu Li's expression was quite puzzled.
"Li Li, it's not that I don't want you to inject strengthening serum!"
"Quite the opposite, I'm the one who wants you to inject it the most!"
Han Xian Xing chuckled, looking at Han Qiu Li with affection.
"Then... why did Father... Before, there were several powerful strengthening serums, and even one with a killer whale on it, which must have been very potent!"
Hearing this, Han Qiu Li became even more confused.
"Over the years, we have indeed obtained quite a few strengthening serums from exploring the Red Shore ruins, but those were not the ones I wanted..."
"Li Li, to be honest, even if I had another vial of Level 1 strengthening serum, unless it was absolutely necessary, I wouldn't let you inject it!"
Han Xian Xing sighed, his expression somewhat dejected. "Including the Level 1 strengthening serum, other serums have strong side effects. The more power gained through strengthening serum, the greater the side effects!"
"These side effects become more apparent with the use of the strengthening serum's abilities. When I first gained the Tyrannosaurus Rex's power, transforming into a Tyrannosaurus Rex was effortless and painless..."
"And now..."
To avoid worrying Han Qiu Li, Han Xian Xing didn't elaborate further.
Han Qiu Li frowned slightly, feeling deeply concerned and anxious.
"Li Li, including Xu Kuang, everyone at the Tyrannosaurus Rex base believes that I have been personally exploring the Red Shore ruins to find the Level 1 strengthening serum."
"But that's not the case!"
He paused, and Han Xian Xing spoke again. "I do explore the Red Shore ruins to find strengthening serum, but not the Level 1 strengthening serum as the outside world believes!"
At this point, Han Xian Xing's expression became incredibly serious, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"I am searching for a legendary serum, the Phantasmal Beast Series Strengthening Serum!"
