Boom!
With a thunderous roar.
The ice wall in front of them completely shattered.
Arrows shot inside rapidly, and in that moment, Xu Yuan and the others were hit directly by sealing arrows.
Instantly, the sealing arrows took effect, and their superpowers were sealed.
Then they were swept up by water tornadoes and dragged out of the ice blocks.
Immediately, Tao Wei, Zhang Hengliang, and others rushed forward and directly handcuffed them.
Not long after, Xu Yuan and the others were bound and brought to the plaza.
Liang Yuan came down with his people, looked at the leading Xu Yuan, and asked, "Whatâs your name?"
Xu Yuan was dazed, seeing stars, already suffering from mercury poisoning.
But he still spat, swearing at Liang Yuan, "Pah, are you worthy to ask my name?"
"You trash from the water dare provoke Ice Armor Warriors?"
"Donât think catching me means you can shake the City of Ice Mist, dream on!"
Xu Yuan glared angrily at Liang Yuan.
Apparently, he deeply despised these outside survivors.
Liang Yuan wasnât angry, but the captains nearby were already furious.
Zhang Hengliang slapped him immediately, shouting angrily, "You arrogant bastard! You only entered the City of Ice Mist earlier than us, whatâs there to be proud of?"
"If I had enough resources, Iâd have entered the City of Ice Mist long ago, do you really think weâre inferior to you?"
Zhou Wanxi and others also had grim faces, looking coldly at these Ice Armor Warriors.
He used to think these Ice Armor Warriors were unreachable and exalted.
But this siege completely shattered his illusion of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion.
Turns out these guys are just like us, all superpower users.
But these guys just got lucky, entering the Floating Island earlier, so they got the qualifications to live in the City of Ice Mist.
In fact, these peopleâs strength is just so-so.
Zhou Wanxi said, "Xu Yuan, I recognize you, the trusted one of Left Leader He Jun, haha, I thought you Ice Armor Warriors were so impressive."
"Yet when it comes to real fighting, youâre just like this."
"A defeated opponent like you thinks you can look down on us?"
Zhou Wanxiâs words made the other captains laugh.
The laughter seemed like sharp knives, stabbing into the proud hearts of the Ice Armor Warrior seven-member group.
Xu Yuan roared, "You use numbers to bully the few, do you dare compare with us?"
"If you have the guts, let me go, face me one on one!"
Zhou Wanxi burst into laughter hearing this, shaking his head, "Such childish words coming out of someone like you."
"One on one? You think itâs like pre-apocalypse arena fights?"
"Fool, itâs the apocalypse now!"
Others laughed too, feeling like they were mocking a fool.
Xu Yuan and the Ice Armor Warriors burned with anger, struggling to get up and fight.
Unfortunately, they were easily pinned down by several Strength-type Superpower Users.
Xu Yuan cursed immediately, "You bastards, let me go, dare to let me go, you useless trash!"
"You only deserve to live on stinking rotten boats, and you think youâre fit for the Floating Island?"
"Get lost!"
He kept swearing, making the captainsâ faces extremely unpleasant.
Liang Yuan casually gestured, and a bone saber immediately floated up from the ground, flying into his hand.
"They insult you like this, and you can tolerate it?"
"Come, who wants to take this saber and cut off his tongue?"
With these words, the endlessly cursing Ice Armor Warriors instantly fell silent.
Each one looked at Liang Yuan in shock and anger.
Even the Ice Armor Warrior leader Xu Yuan showed fright.
He looked up at Liang Yuan, as if only now remembering to observe this person.
"Who are you?"
For the first time, he asked Liang Yuan, noticing that these Water Monkeys seemed to respect him greatly.
He couldnât help but recall that these Water Monkeys were typically disorganized, impossible to unite like this.
Yet now, they all followed the commands of this person, which truly bewildered him.
Suddenly, he didnât wait for Liang Yuan to answer, and exclaimed, "Are you that Lingjiang River?"
Liang Yuan was stunned, not expecting to hear Lingjiang Riverâs name from the mouth of an Ice Armor Warrior.
"Haha, seems like Lingjiang River is causing quite a stir, even you Ice Armor Warriors have heard of him?" Liang Yuan laughed.
"Youâre not him? Then who are you?" Xu Yuan asked in confusion.
Aside, Zhou Wanxi explained, "Mr. Liang, before, the captain of the Queen, Leng Yuehua, sought help from us, claiming to be chased by Lingjiang River."
"But after we refused help, she seemed to have gone to the City of Ice Mist, she might have spread Lingjiang Riverâs fame."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan realized, then immediately despised that woman Leng Yuehua.
This woman hates men, yet when met with an unsolvable crisis, she still seeks cooperation with men?
A woman who says one thing and acts differently, Liang Yuan now doubts whether Leng Yuehua truly hates men, or if sheâs simply using her twisted sexual orientation as an excuse.
Zhang Hengliang shouted from the side, "Listen well, this is Mr. Liang, the boss respected by all our shipâs crew."
"Xu Yuan, if you know whatâs good for you, youâd better obey, or Mr. Liang has plenty of ways to deal with you."
Xu Yuan frowned, carefully recalling the name âLiang Yuanâ in his mind, but had no impression whatsoever.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked, "What do you want? We can talk."
Liang Yuan laughed upon hearing this.
"Oh, it seems youâve really calmed down."
Xu Yuan pressed his lips, remaining silent, only staring coldly at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan chuckled, "Simple, I want Genetic Species."
Xu Yuanâs pupils suddenly contracted, "So you came for Genetic Species!"
"Exactly."
"You release me, and I can apply for Genetic Species from the leader for you." Xu Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
Liang Yuan laughed and looked down at Xu Yuan, "Youâre lying to me?"
Xu Yuanâs expression shifted slightly, "What?"
Liang Yuan sneered, "I havenât even mentioned what type of Superpower User I am, and you agreed so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately replied, "Here, we have only one attribute of Genetic Species, no other types. No matter what type of Superpower User you are, I can only apply for Ice Attribute Genetic Species for you."
"Oh? You can apply for it?"
"I can."
"Why donât you apply yourself?" Liang Yuan directly asked the core question.
Xu Yuanâs expression remained unchanged, "None of my four major attributes has reached the limit. The failure rate is very high when trying to condense Genetic Species now."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuanâs heart stirred, he quickly asked, "What do you mean? Whether the Genetic Species can be successfully condensed or not, is related to the attribute?"
"Of course, the closer the four major attributes are to the limit of 50 points, the higher the probability of condensing Genetic Species."
"Generally speaking, above forty-five points, thereâs a fifty percent chance of success."
"However, us Ice Armor Warriors, in order to be certain of condensing Genetic Species, often wait until a particular attribute completely reaches the 50-point limit before trying to condense Genetic Species."
Liang Yuanâs heart stirred, surprised to discover a secret here.
He asked, "Where do your Genetic Species come from?"
"Extracted from those Genetic Species-level Mutant Beasts."
"Extracted?" Liang Yuan keenly noticed this choice of words.
This seemed different from what he imagined.
He thought each Awakened Genetic Species Mutant Beast would have only one Genetic Species inside.
And it would exist like an organ in a certain place in its body.
Why did it seem from the other sideâs words that extraction was needed?
"How many Genetic Species can be extracted from an Awakened Genetic Species Mutant Beast?"
Xu Yuan glanced at Liang Yuan and said solemnly, "It depends on the awakening level of this Mutant Beast; generally, an Initial Tier Genetic Species Mutant Beast can only extract one to three."
"A Middle Tier Genetic Species Mutant Beast can extract at least three to six."
"A High Tier Genetic Species Mutant Beast can extract six to nine."
Liang Yuan curiously asked, "How do you distinguish if a Mutant Beast is Initial Tier or High Tier?"
"By looking at the completeness of this Mutant Beastâs Genetic Map, the higher the completeness, the higher the level."
"In Mist City, only Cold Ice Snowfield has Mutant Beasts that break through the Genetic Species level; each is extremely powerful. Even if we want to kill one of these level Mutant Beasts, we have to pay a huge price."
"By yourself, you absolutely canât defeat a Genetic Species-level Mutant Beast."
"How about it, let us go, and I can decide to apply for one for you with the leader."
Xu Yuan said as he looked at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan smiled faintly, only asking, "Are you that kind-hearted?"
"Iâm not kind-hearted, I just want to stay alive."
Xu Yuan bluntly expressed his thoughts.
His Spirit Attribute was about to reach 50 points, just one step away from condensing Genetic Species and starting to map the Genetic Map.
He did not want to die here.
Especially as he had no deep-seated hatred with the person before him.
After all, it was just some conflicts of interest.
The three major Mercenary Corps were merely tools for him to gather resources; really standing up for them at the risk of his own life was impossible, right?
So he conceded quickly.
Of course, Liang Yuan did not know what other deep-seated thoughts Xu Yuan might have.
And Liang Yuan did not believe this kind of person would easily concede.
He slightly flickered his gaze, and directly planted Parasite Seeds in the bodies of the seven Ice Armor Warriors.
At the same time, he fed âpoison,â warning them, "I canât completely trust you, but it doesnât matter, eat these poisons, your lives are in my hands."
"Now I can let you and your subordinates go, take me to find the Master of Fog City!"
Xu Yuan looked at the poison before him, knowing full well he had no other options.
So he swallowed the âpoisonâ with gritted teeth.
The others, seeing this, were also helplessly forced to swallow the âpoison.â
Yet no one knew that the so-called poison was just a guise.
What could truly take their lives was the Parasite Seeds Liang Yuan had already planted within them!
