Chapter 173 Fusing Pangolin Beast Genes Lin Feng faced a life-or-death crisis today and almost died.

Although he was temporarily safe, he had also lost two arms and a leg. Relying on the undying characteristic, he could recover quickly. However, for the first time, Lin Feng felt as if his body was exhausted, and he felt weak all over.

“Could it be that there’s a price to pay for relying on the undying characteristic to recover from heavy injuries?”

Lin Feng thought for a moment. That seemed to make sense. His undying characteristic was not truly undying. Since he wanted to recover, he would have to consume energy. And where would the energy come from? According to Lin Feng’s observation, the energy needed to recover from injuries was probably drawn from the physical body. It was not a big deal to recover from minor injuries usually. Lin Feng’s physique was very strong, and he could withstand it.

However, recovering from heavy injuries like this required a large amount of energy. Hence, Lin Feng’s body was under some burden. He needed a good rest to recover.

“Looks like the undying characteristic isn’t omnipotent. Even if it’s not fatal, if I’m injured too many times and my injuries are too severe, and my body can’t provide the energy to recover from my injuries, will my body collapse?”

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. Moreover, it was not just the undying characteristic. His Sharp Horn and defensive armor were both damaged. If he wanted to use them again, he would have to rest well.

Actually, Lin Feng was at a disadvantage this time. He would not have been in such a sorry state originally. If he still had a large amount of Astral Power in his body, even if he did not have the ability for a fight, he would not be in such a poor state.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng had exhausted a large amount of Astral Power when dealing with those Terrestrial Ants previously. In the end, he only had 200 strands of Astral Power left in his body, which was why he was in a rather bad state.

Right now, his body needed time to recover, and the Astral Power in his body needed to be restored even more. Taking advantage of the current reprieve, Lin Feng circulated the Astra Devourer Technique and began to recover his Astral Power.

After all, he was underground, in the territory of those Terrestrial Ants and Pangolin Beasts. The more strength he had, the safer he would

be.

As Lin Feng circulated the Astra Devourer Technique, a large amount of star power penetrated the layers of resistance on the ground and somehow reached the underground cave. Although the star power was much less than before, it was enough.

Lin Feng was recovering Astral Power this time, not condensing it. Naturally, his speed was much faster. Almost every breath he took would allow a large amount of Astral Power to recover.

In just over ten hours, the Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body had completely recovered. He had more than 5,400 strands of Astral Power.

The abundant Astral Power in his body also gave Lin Feng a greater sense of security. He stopped circulating the Astra Devourer Technique and began to consider the situation he would face.

Right now, Lin Feng had a large amount of Astral Power in his body, and his body had almost recovered. His entire body was filled with power, but he was underground now, and he could no longer tell the direction.

The Terrestrial Ants had dug countless tunnels underground. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there were tens of thousands of them. Apart from those Terrestrial Ants and Pangolin Beasts, no one could tell the direction clearly.

Previously, in order to shake off those Pangolin Beasts, Lin Feng had entered all kinds of forks. He had long lost his sense of direction. It was dark underground, so how could he tell the direction?

Even if Lin Feng wanted to leave the underground now, it would be very difficult for him to return to the surface. Even if there were no dire beasts, just exiting the underground from tens of thousands of tunnels would still be tremendously difficult.

Moreover, Lin Feng could not bear to return to the surface just like that. What was that Pangolin Beast demon general trying to do, guarding that mysterious metal gate?

What was inside the mysterious gate? Was there really the matrix of the genetic fusion device?

“Even if I want to return, I have to follow the direction of the genetic fusion device and return to that huge cave. Only then can I find the way back to the surface. However, if I return to the cave, I might encounter that Pangolin Beast demon general again.” Lin Feng frowned. Actually, the problem was that he was still not strong enough. If he was strong enough, why would he be afraid of facing that giant Pangolin Beast?

Thinking of how to resist that giant Pangolin Beast, many thoughts flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. What was his strongest technique at the moment? Without a doubt, Lin Feng thought of the Void Bubble.

Currently, Lin Feng could control 4,000 strands of Astral Power to condense an Astral Bubble from this miraculous Astral martial art.

Lin Feng had personally tested the power of this Astral Bubble. It was quite good, but he was not confident that it could injure that Pangolin Beast demon general.

“Even if the Void Bubble condensed from 4,000 strands of Astral Power can’t severely injure the giant Pangolin Beast, it should be able to hold it off for a while, right?”

Lin Feng was a little hesitant. Not only was the Void Bubble powerful, it also had a hallucinatory effect. EVEN Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists would be intoxicated by it.

Even if the giant Pangolin Beast was huge, powerful, and had strong defenses, its mental will couldn’t be too strong, right? As long as he could hold it off for a little longer, even for an instant, it would be enough for Lin Feng to do many things.

However, this was still a little risky in the end. For the first time, Lin Feng felt that his defense was insufficient. His undying characteristic was not omnipotent. If he could hold out against the giant Pangolin Beast for a while, and not be severely injured or crushed into a pulp at once, then, Lin Feng would still have a lot of room to maneuver.

“That’s right, I can fuse with the fifth dire beast gene to improve my physique!”

An idea flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. He had thought of a way to quickly increase his strength and physique. Fusing the genes of dire beasts was the fastest and most effective method at the moment.

As for which dire beast genes to fuse, Lin Feng had prepared the blood of the Pangolin Beast demons beforehand and carried it with him at all times. There were also the Terrestrial Ant demons. During Lin Feng’s battle previously, his body had been stained with the blood of countless Terrestrial Ant demons. He could also fuse the genes of the Terrestrial Ant demons. Between the genes of the Terrestrial Ant demons demon and the Pangolin Beast demons, with almost no hesitation, Lin Feng immediately chose the genes of the Pangolin Beast demon.

After all, what Lin Feng needed now was strength and defense. In terms of strength and defense, the Pangolin Beast demons were definitely far stronger than the Terrestrial Ant demons.

Lin Feng had studied the genetic fusion device before. Although he speculated that he could continue to fuse the genes of dire beasts, this was the first time he was fusing the genes of a demon. He would have to try it himself to find out what it was like.

Hence, Lin Feng activated the genetic fusion device and ordered, “Extract the genes of the Pangolin Beast demon!”

“Successfully extracted Pangolin Beast demon genes. Can be fused with human genes. Do you wish to fuse immediately?”

“Fuse!”

“Begin fusion with the Pangolin Beast demon genes. Duration: one hour!”

as

Lin Feng was shocked. In the past, fusing the Wild Bovine genes only required a minute. Now, fusing the genes of the Pangolin Beast demon actually required an hour. Before Lin Feng could figure out what was going on, an intense pain that spread from the depths of his soul immediately made Lin Feng’s entire body tremble. In an instant, he was plunged into an indescribably intense pain.
