Chapter 161: Chapter 161 The Giant Golden Crab

People on the mother planet who haven’t heard the name Yi Jingren should be few and far between.

Yi Jingren is not affiliated with any Super-Base, nor does he belong to a family clan, yet no clan dares to underestimate him, as an individual.

Forty years ago, a tide of sea beasts ascended onto the East Sea’s shores in uncountable numbers, with many Bases from overseas and the continent joining forces to suppress the beast tide.

Even so, they struggled to withstand the onslaught of the sea beasts; some of the coastal and offshore Bases quickly fell in a short time.

Not only were there a multitude of beasts, but the number of Ascended Creatures among them was also staggering, simply unstoppable.

The major family clans began to seek help from their extraterrestrial forces; otherwise, even if they managed to hold back the beast tide, it was feared that the majority of humans would die in the onslaught.

Before the extraterrestrial Ascenders arrived, a lone Ascender from the mother planet made his way to the seaside.

One man, armed with a whip, hung countless Ascended Creatures in the tide-like beast wave, scattering the souls of numerous Base Variant Creatures, and single-handedly turned the entire situation around.

This man was Yi Jingren, earning the nickname ‘Heaven-shocking Whip,’ although that nickname was somewhat rude and hence not often used later; most people preferred his real name.

Although Yi Jingren didn’t have much influence and his whereabouts were unpredictable, the mere mention of those three characters garnered respect from everyone under heaven.

“How could Yi Jingren’s daughter represent Yashen Base? Isn’t Yashen Base owned by the Xu Family and the Lu Family? Wait… is Yi Jingren’s surname Yi…?” Lin Shen suddenly asked what seemed like a rather foolish question.

“Of course Yi Jingren’s surname is Yi,” Mo Shengqi looked at Lin Shen, thinking him a bit of an idiot.

Lin Shen’s mind was clearly not the problem; he was well aware that Yi Jingren’s surname was Yi. Inside Yashen Base, he also knew of someone else with the surname Yi—Madam Ye.

“No way! Madam Ye is Yi Jingren’s daughter!” Lin Shen was shocked in his heart.

The following words from Mo Shengqi also confirmed Lin Shen’s guess: “Yi Jingren’s daughter now resides in Yashen Base, and while her name is unknown, her husband’s surname should be Ye. She currently refers to herself as Madam Ye.”

Lin Shen’s expression became increasingly peculiar, knowing now that Madam Ye was Yi Jingren’s daughter and that Ye Yuzhen was Yi Jingren’s granddaughter. He wondered why he had bothered to flee when Zheng Guyuan came to trouble him in the past.

Even if Zheng Guyuan had courage strapped to every inch of his body, he wouldn’t dare to act brashly in front of Yi Jingren’s daughter.

“This is utterly ridiculous!” the more Lin Shen thought about it, the more he felt he was out of his mind back then. Why flee at all? He should’ve asked Ye Yuzhen who her grandfather was and clung tightly to those coattails on the spot.

But at the time, Lin Shen had no knowledge of this, so he couldn’t be blamed.

“And the outcome?” Wei Wufu asked.

“The result was that all three candidates had six votes each—there was no clear winner. In the end, it was decided to split into three groups and enter the Realm King Planet, with Goddess Consort, Zuo Qinglong, and Huang Xiaohu each leading a team,” Mo Shengqi answered.

“The situation doesn’t look too bad,” Lin Shen only wanted to follow the main force; it didn’t matter to him who was in command.

The next morning, the families supporting the Goddess Consort came to set up camp at Sea Corn Base, with a good number of their Mutators.

Mostly they were Alloy Mutators, but Crystal-based Variants were not in short supply either.

Lin Shen took a quick glance; leading the Crystal-based Variants was Ouyang Yudu, with about three hundred people, while there were over a thousand Alloy Mutators.

If the other two teams have roughly the same numbers, then for this expedition, humans will have around a thousand Crystal-based individuals and three to four thousand Alloy Mutators.

The number of troops was almost enough to go toe-to-toe with the main force of the Ultra-Burning Corps, but now divided into three groups, any single unit would likely find it difficult to hold its ground against the main force of their opponent.

Although Lin Shen knew that more casualties would be beneficial for him, he did not wish for too many human Mutators to die.

Bai Shenfei stood on the platform delivering a speech before departure, with leaders from major families such as Ouyang Yudu standing behind her, creating an image akin to stars surrounding the moon.

Lin Shen heard many people around him marveling at both Bai Shenfei’s beauty and Ouyang Yudu’s attractiveness, and he became quite curious—just how beautiful was Bai Shenfei?

After the speech had ended, Bai Shenfei divided the many Mutators into ten squads, appointing leaders for each one.

The squad leaders were mostly from big families like that of Ouyang Yudu, and most of their team members were Mutators from their own families.

Bai Shenfei also led a team herself, which was mostly comprised of Mutators from Sea Corn Base, yet she included Lin Shen and Wei Wufu in it.

Once the teams were organised, the time for the Realm King Cultivation Device to activate again was rapidly approaching.

Bai Shenfei led everyone to the lakeside, standing as close as possible to facilitate quick regrouping of the teams after entering.

Lin Shen was curious about where they would be teleported to this time; with his current ability to survive, it seemed there would be no difficulty in staying alive, no matter the location.

When the Realm King Cultivation Device activated again, everyone unavoidably felt a surge of nervousness.

Whir!

Lin Shen once again felt that sucking sensation, the world spinning around him in an extremely uncomfortable manner.

This device’s teleportation experience was far less pleasant than his watch.

When Lin Shen landed on the ground, he recognized the familiar scenery before him: the ocean and beach were just as he remembered.

“Eh, it’s the same place as when I first arrived,” Lin Shen said, turning his head to see the nearby reef area.

Wei Wufu was not far from him, and the beach was scattered with Mutators, all having been teleported fairly close to each other.

Bai Shenfei had already begun to command the assembly, and nearby Mutators had started to gather, amassing over two hundred people within moments.

Ouyang Yudu, Mo Shengqi, and others who had been standing close by during teleportation, had also quickly made their way over with their teams, as they weren’t far apart.

However, there were already sounds of battle in some areas of the beach. Bai Shenfei hurriedly led people over, and from a distance, they saw a group of seven or eight Mutators fighting against a giant golden crab.

That crab-like Base Variant Creature was as big as a bus, glistening gold all over with one giant pincer and one slightly smaller, appearing extremely dominating.

Yet it was merely an Alloy Creature, and the Mutators fighting it were also Alloy Mutators.

The giant golden crab was fierce and unyielding, forcing the several Alloy Mutators to scatter in escape, even though they were attacking as a group.

Without a doubt, the giant golden crab must be a mutated Alloy Creature.

“Tian, it’s up to you.” After arriving at the site and seeing that the few Mutators were not in life-threatening danger, Bai Shenfei suddenly turned to Lin Shen and said.
