I Attack 10,000x Times Stronger-Chapter 23: Fire Gene Core

Currently, Igris was squatting on a huge tree and staring at a giant forest lizard below him.

This was the third type of beast he had met.

And, it was a level 8 beast.

He didn’t know if he was lucky or not. He had been walking around for an hour but didn’t meet any beast at all but the moment he met one, it was actually a level 8 beast!

This beast had mutated from a Titan Spine Lizard. Its body was covered with thick and heavy scales, giving off a metallic glimmer. Its claws were as sharp as knives, and its fangs looked like spikes. They were able to pierce through a person in an instant.

[Titan Spine Lizard]

[Grade: Mutated]

[Level: 8]

At first, Igris thought that it hadn’t noticed him yet. He had steeled himself and was planning to sneak an attack on it.

It was a level 8 beast after all.

Nonetheless, this was the first time he met one. Hence, he didn’t act rashly.

Out of his expectations, the Titan Spine Lizard swung its tail at him. The huge force cut the tree he was using to hide into two.

"BOOM!"

The tree cracked and fell.

"F**k, it’s so strong?"

Igris hurriedly stomped heavily on the ground and leaped into the air.

Then, without hesitation,waved his large blade and exerted strength all over his body. He struck his sword down at the giant forest lizard.

"ROAR!!!"

The Titan Spine Lizard opened its mouth and let out a growl. It swung its tail again and swept it towards him.

This tail sweep was extremely powerful. Even the air around it gave off short exploding sonic booms as they ripped apart.

Igris’s eyebrows jumped slightly.

Naturally, he wasn’t stupid; he wouldn’t receive the attack forcefully. He used his massive amount of agility and managed to turn his body in the air.

The maneuver allowed him to evade the attack easily.

Igris instantly lowered his center of gravity and landed on the ground. He clenched his fist and thick finger-sized veins squirmed around his wrist.

The air around his fist exploded and immediately, he punched the side of the Titan Spine Lizard with his fist.

"BANG!"

[10x Mutiplier activated]

The strength of 100 was terrifying. This punch caused the scale armor of the Titan Spine Lizard to crack open as a huge massive hole appeared on its side.

"Howl—"

The Titan Spine Lizard howled in pain. It opened its mouth and wanted to pounce on Igris. The stinging stench of blood flowed right into his face.

"Hmph!"

Igris’s bloodshot eyes turned cold and he snorted. His speed suddenly accelerated as he transformed into myriads of afterimages, and he evaded the Titan Spine Lizard’s attack.

Next, he raised the blade in his hand and charged forward like a bullet. With a downward strike...

"Crack!"

Fresh blood spurted out!

His large blade slashed right through the Titan Spine Lizard’s mouth. It cut off a huge portion of the lizard’s head. The next moment, the Titan Spine Lizard fell to the ground with a thud. It was dead.

[Titan Spine Lizard Killed, +500 Exp]

"Sigh!"

Igris let out a breath and his inflated muscles, cracked, bloody flesh, and terrifying snakes-like veins returned to normal.

Mutated-Grade monsters were harder to deal with than he had imagined. However, it was still a piece of cake for him.

He walked towards the Titan Spine Lizard and took his loot.

[Lizard Meat, Titan lizard spine, 20, Bronze Crowns]

A few minutes later, he suddenly stopped and faced a direction.

"People are fighting over there!"

Following the sound, Igris rushed there quietly. Pushing back the branches, Igris found a forest scene with human figures and a huge growling Evo beast.

When he was thirty steps away from the battlefield, Igris jumped up onto a big tree to watch the fight from above.

In the woods, there was an emptied grassy field about fifteen meters long. In that field, there were five teenagers holding weapons in their hands surrounding a huge beast.

Its body was about three meters long and looked like a tiger with black shiny hair, panting as its long bloody tongue dripped with purple liquid, its mouth was filled with huge sharp teeth and its claws were sharp and angled, measured about a meter long.

It was a level 4 Saber-tooth tiger, and also a mutated grade beast.

It could breath out fire that could incinerate the body, even a level 5 would find it difficult to deal with the it.

The brothers suddenly laughed brightly as they harvested the loot, "This time we got really lucky! This beast condensed a Fire gene core!"

"A Fire gene core?" Both the blue-cloth young man and the black-clothed man looked surprised.

The twin brothers nodded in excitement, "Yes, an actual gene core. It seems to have been formed only a couple of months ago judging that it is no larger than a walnut."

After dividing it five ways, everyone would receive 2000 bronze crowns.

And even though it was only formed months ago, a gene core the size of a walnut could sell for at least 10,000 crowns.

This was because the Fire gene core came from the accumulation of ’Dust’ and pure concentrated gene from its genome.

Gene core was simply the condensation of the beast’s bio-energy, adrenaline, and gene cells compressed over the ages and richness of ’DUST’ in its body. The result was a gene core that formed from layer upon layer of energy slowly wrapping together and becoming larger.

It’s like a second heart evo beasts could tap into when cornered, almost like the latent talent of humans.

Gene core could be for many things. Can be used as medicinal ingredients or used for training one’s fire talent and combat techniques.

The blue-clothed girl stared with big eyes as she reached out to touch that incredible rare black gene core with her hand before the red-cloth young man stopped her immediately, "Don’t! don’t touch it! Fire gene cores are condensed from the fire from the beast over many years. It is extremely toxic, it can even melt through iron not to mention what would happen if you touch it!"
