Chapter 536: Chapter 253: Resurrection, Communicating with the Land of the End

Just as Qin Hu and the others’ spawn and resurrection point was being assaulted by an unknown Slaughter Realm...

Lin Feng and Ling Yi were already leading the Genetic Warriors toward the nearest active volcano.

The Tier Three King Spine Zerg created by the Unyielding Realm was much weaker than the one from the Slaughter Realm.

This was evident from the swarms of Black Spine Zergs they encountered along the way.

Upon encountering the Genetic Warriors—whom they perceived as a type of small "Tiger Spine Zerg"—and sensing their powerful Tier Two Late Stage Perfection auras, these Black Spine Zerg Swarms would scatter and flee as if they had seen a ghost, giving them a wide berth.

It was a completely different behavioral pattern from the Zergs in the Slaughter Realm where Shen Jie had been.

As a result, their advance was exceptionally smooth.

They encountered no resistance whatsoever.

Two minutes later, the group arrived safely at the edge of the volcano’s base.

This was also the habitat of the Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs.

As far as the eye could see, hot spring pools of all sizes, reeking of sulfur, gurgled and bubbled, releasing a thick, toxic, and pungent mist.

This was the source of the stench emanating from the Spine Zerg corpses.

Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs of varying sizes and power levels were distributed among the hot spring pools before them, their placement corresponding to the size of each pool.

In many of the larger, hundred-meter-wide pools, the faint silhouettes of giant Tiger Spine Zergs could be seen through the thick, toxic mist rising from the water’s surface.

These were Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs, and there were even fifty-meter-class behemoths at the Tier Two Peak.

Lin Feng was very interested in them. After all, every part of a Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg was a treasure.

Thanks to their unique Solid as a Rock Attribute, the durable Outer Armor stripped from a single one was worth more than the Giant Mandibles of over ten Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs.

So, during a lull in the group’s advance, Lin Feng activated the Flight Mode of his Flying Tiger Armor, which had degenerated to Level 29, and flew straight toward the giant silhouette.

He plunged into the poisonous miasma and viciously slashed down at the silhouette with his Level 29 Tiger Zerg Chainsaw Sword.

Influenced by the Unyielding Realm, the creature clearly lacked much aggression or quick reflexes. The Tiger Zerg Chainsaw Sword struck its vulnerable side-eye and head directly.

Although its sturdy Armor could withstand the Chainsaw Sword’s Infinite Cutting, both were worn down in the exchange. The behemoth’s side-eye and the brain it was neurally linked to both suffered impact Damage.

The Peak Tiger Spine Zerg immediately let out a pained roar. As it recoiled, it swung its Giant Mandible at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pulled back, easily dodging the swift, air-splitting strike. At the same time, he raised the Level 29 Armor-Piercing Cannon in his left hand and fired several consecutive shots at the Tiger Spine Zerg, which had just regained its footing.

Although the Zerg did its utmost to block the shells with its Giant Mandible while retreating, three or four of them still struck the eye wound Lin Feng had previously opened with his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword.

Under the continuous bombardment from the Armor-Piercing Cannon, which dealt up to nine hundred points of Damage per shot, the Solid as a Rock Attribute—already weakened by the Chainsaw Sword—instantly collapsed. The subsequent violent, armor-piercing explosions shattered the brain behind its eye.

The massive Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg let out an indignant shriek and, with a gaping hole where half its head used to be, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

A faint smile touched the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth.

’With my current combat prowess,’ he thought, ’even with my High Tier strength compressed to Tier Two Peak, I can still easily be unrivaled within this tier, thanks to my vast combat experience and full set of Tier Two equipment.’

Seeing the Peak Tiger Spine Zerg fall dead before him after only two exchanges, Lin Feng took the opportunity to flap his Battle Armor’s Wind Wing Membrane Wings and fly toward the giant corpse.

He planned to use the Giant Mandible material covering its body to forge more Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords and fully arm all seventy Genetic Warriors.

However, just as he neared the Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg’s corpse, Ling Yi’s urgent shout came from behind him:

"Wait! Be careful of its Unyielding...!"

Before Ling Yi could finish, the momentum from flapping his Membrane Wings had already carried Lin Feng right in front of the Tiger Spine Zerg’s corpse.

At that exact moment, the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg, which had been thoroughly dead in everyone’s eyes, bizarrely underwent "resurrection"!

The gaping, gore-filled cavity where half its brain had been instantly regenerated. As its brain was restored, the motionless giant corpse shot back to its feet and swung its twenty-meter-long Giant Mandible, snapping swiftly at Lin Feng!

Facing the resurrected Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg, Lin Feng hurriedly halted his momentum in mid-air. He pulled the trigger of his Armor-Piercing Cannon with his left hand while raising his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword high to block the sharp Giant Mandible snapping toward him.

The next moment, under the combined force of the Armor-Piercing Cannon’s recoil and the Giant Mandible’s crushing blow against his Chainsaw Sword...

WHOOSH! Lin Feng shot away like a cannonball, becoming a blur as he was violently knocked back.

He crashed heavily into the sulfurous water of the hot spring.

Like a skipping stone, he bounced across the surface several times, enduring the scalding, hundred-degree-plus temperatures and the assault of hundreds of toxins dissolved in the water...

He only sank to the bottom of the pool once his momentum dissipated.

Fortunately, he hadn’t crashed onto the rock-strewn ground. Otherwise, even with the protection of his Flying Tiger Armor, the hard impact would have left Lin Feng severely injured.

His pair of Wind Wing Membrane Wings, in particular, would have been completely destroyed.

With the water to cushion his fall, Lin Feng was only dazed for a moment. He quickly regained his senses and swam up to the surface.

He then quickly unfurled his wings, beating them to take off from the surface of the hot spring and return to the air.
