Chapter 84 - 84: Blood Sucker’s Lair
Wang Ye left the gene park.
Having happily freeloaded, he had an additional exquisite box in his backpack.
It contained an advanced evolution fruit, which was quite a rare item.
Its value was equivalent to a medium-grade awakening fruit.
It was also the highest grade of fruit.
This was because there were currently no plant-type monsters who had broken through to become super monsters, except for one of the top ten cosmic monsters – the skyscraper-tall Giant Tree that bore strange fruits.
“I can’t count on getting the high-grade awakening fruit unless 1 get close to Xiao Qin’s sister.”
As he advanced and became a level 6 genetic warrior, Wang Ye began to plan his path of advancement.
The same as advancing from beginner to intermediate, there were also two paths to advancing from intermediate to advanced: Genetic warrior and ability user.
He could cultivate his body as a genetic warrior to the extreme, then absorb the high-grade evolution fruit or the Blood Sea’s water to evolve.
For example, his current physical strength was 10000, and the limit of level 6 was 20000. The closer he got to the limit, the higher the success rate, which could reach about 50%. The high-grade evolution fruit would increase the success rate by about 20%.
As for ability users, they had no bottleneck in evolution. They could evolve at any time above level 6.
Those with high talent might break through naturally when they just reached 50% because the energy in their psyche was strong enough. It was what had happened to Xiao Qin when she advanced from the beginner rank to the intermediate rank.
Those with ordinary talent would have a delayed breakthrough, but no matter what, as long as they reached their limits, they would naturally break through that layer of membrane and enter a new world.
“Just in case…”
Wang Ye’s current plan was still to walk the path of an ability user.
The high-level evolution fruit was a backup.
If there was a need, he could try to walk the path of a genetic warrior.
The most ideal situation would be for him to break through as an ability user and perfect his genes as an advanced Evolver. He would absorb the high-grade evolution fruit when his body had finished transforming naturally.
There was no hurry.
After all, it took Captain Xia two months to become an advanced Evolver.
It had been less than a month since he had become an intermediate Evolver, and Zirui had not even advanced to the intermediate rank.
If he broke through to the advanced rank before Zirui became an intermediate Evolver, that would probably break the latter.
Wang Ye opened his interface.
Level 5 ability user, 83%.
If he cultivated normally, he would be able to reach level 6 in about a week.
There were still two more things he could do to become a level 6 ability user even faster.
One was to upgrade the Intermediate Star Evolution Technique.
The other was the T6 brain activator, which was made with the demon core of medium-grade awakening-type monsters as the main material. It could be obtained from the laboratory.
There was no need to consider the price, though, since he surely could not afford it. Even if he used achievement points to buy, the sum he would need would be huge.
The only way he could get his hands on them now was to apply for it.
“Beep!”
His watch rang.
“It’s here.” Wang Ye saw hope in applying for the T6 brain activator.
The mole had started to move.

In the wilderness, an off-road vehicle sped past.
Tong Wu, who was driving, had a solemn expression as he stepped on the accelerator. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“What’s the situation now?” Wang Ye sat in the passenger seat and looked at the map.
“Binbin and Sister Han have found traces of the demonic humans. Binbin is following the demonic humans to see if he can find their lair. Sister Han told us to search for the demonic humans’ lair nearby.”
“This location…” Wang Ye compared it and was slightly surprised. “It’s very close to the last location of Brother Jia’s watch. They’re less than 20 kilometers apart.”
Tong Wu understood what Wang Ye meant. “Because the terrain here is dangerous. The Lu River runs through two provinces and is more than 1,000 kilometers long. There are also a large number of hell-level monsters in the river. We originally thought that Blood Sucker’s lair couldn’t be nearby.”
“I see.” Wang Ye enlarged the map and looked around.
The most eye-catching was the winding Lu River. The red river was like a chasm that completely separated the two places.
All the bridges had been destroyed long ago. If a car wanted to drive to the other side, not only would it have to make a huge detour, but it would also have to deal with the ferocious attacks of the monsters by the river.
There were also many ravines and dangerous shoals near the Lu River. The vegetation was lush and it was extremely dangerous.
Interesting.
They sped along the way and arrived very quickly, following the watch’s GPS to find Su Yihan.
Not far away from her was the corpse of a hell-level monster, as well as a mix of nightmare-level monsters.
Clearly, a fierce battle had just taken place.
H
Did you discover Blood Sucker’s lair?” Wang Ye said.
Su Yihan shook her head, her face pale. “It should be nearby. This place is very similar to the temporary encampment we found before. There are traces of demonic humans.”
Wang Ye nodded.
Demonic humans needed blood.
Therefore, if a large number of monster corpses were found to have been sucked dry, it was very likely that there was a demonic human base nearby.
“Let’s go. It won’t be here.” Wang Ye said.
“Why?” Su Yihan asked suspiciously.
“Blood Sucker is only an intermediate demonic human organization. It’ll be very hard for them to kill hell-level monsters. They won’t stay in places where hell-level monsters will appear,” Wang Ye said.
Su Yihan nodded thoughtfully. Her chin was so pointed it almost touched her breasts.
“Where?” Tong Wu asked.
“Follow me.” Wang Ye opened the map.
“Alright.” Tong Wu replied decisively, making Su Yihan slightly stunned.
The rookie who had just been promoted from an ordinary rescue team could actually make Xiao Wu trust him so unconditionally?
“Sister Han, you must be tired. Rest for a while. We’ll bring you there.” Wang Ye said as he prepared to piggyback Su Yihan.
Whoosh!
Tong Wu stretched out his muscular arms and blocked Wang Ye’s path. There was a deep apprehension in his eyes.
“I’ll do it.” Tong Wu said solemnly.
He was wearing heavy armor. Wasn’t he worried that he would make her feel uncomfortable?
Besides, his eyes were filled with distrust towards him. Was he the kind of person who wanted to feel the balls whenever he saw a pair?!
The two of them sped forward.
To be precise, there were three of them. Su Yihan was sitting on Tong Wu’s shoulders, resting to recover her ability.
“Have you informed Captain Xia?” Tong Wu said.
“Captain Xia can’t come over for the time being.” Wang Ye didn’t even turn his head.
“You called Captain Xia too?” Su Yihan was stunned.
“He didn’t.” Tong Wu’s eyes were like torches as he stared at Wang Ye.
“I guessed. How’s Brother Bin’s progress?” Wang Ye asked.
Su Yihan glanced at her watch. “He’s already close to the Lu River. Why would the demonic humans be there?”
“Should we call him and inform him?” Tong Wu asked.
Su Yihan looked at Wang Ye. “Let’s find Blood Sucker’s lair and tell him then.”
“How far is it?” Tong Wu asked.
“2.3 kilometers.” Wang Ye looked at the distance.
So precise?
“You know the location of the demonic humans’ lair?” Su Yihan was surprised.
“Probably.” Wang Ye said.
“How did you know?” Su Yihan asked suspiciously.
“I inferred it.” Wang Ye noticed Su Yihan’s tone.
It was very normal. She and Brother Bin had been investigating day and night for so long, but they were still unable to determine the location of Blood Sucker’s lair.
Anyone would be suspicious if he pointed out the exact location as soon as he arrived.
“First of all, with Brother Jia’s last position from his watch as the center of the circle, it is 18 kilometers away from the location where you found the traces of the demonic humans. With this as the radius, you can see that your position is one of the areas closest to Lu River. So you’ve basically searched the other areas within the 18-kilometer radius, right?” Wang Ye asked.
“Yes.” Su Yihan was silent for a moment.
Wang Ye continued, “With Lu River as the boundary, the closer you get to Lu River, the more dangerous it is. Blood Sucker’s lair must be further away from where you were just now. The range can be narrowed to a 45-degree angle. Plus, since there are demonic humans here, their lair can’t be too far away. It should be within five kilometers.”
Su Yihan was shocked. “And then?”
“Then, we can compare it with Brother Tong’s notes and eliminate the areas marked Al and A2. With this, we can basically confirm the approximate location.” Wang Ye clicked on the map on his watch. “Wumeng Mountain, Ma Valley, and Dan Embankment. It must be one of the three. The Wumeng Mountain area is scattered with mountains, making it easier to hide. Moreover, there are many monsters, making it the most suitable place for the demonic humans’ lair.”
Su Yihan was stunned for a while before she said, “Really?”
“Yes.” Tong Wu nodded.
“Why did you answer first…” Wang Ye couldn’t help but retort in his heart.
Su Yihan opened her mouth to say something but closed it again.
Although she was still incredulous, the way she looked at Wang Ye was now completely different.
She vaguely understood why Tong Wu trusted Wang Ye so much.
If Wang Ye’s deduction was true, then wouldn’t she and Han Ruobin’s sleepless search for the past ten days become a joke?
That was absolutely impossible.
Heh. It was really funny.
Su Yihan looked at the monster’s corpse on the ground, which had obviously been eaten by demonic humans, and laughed at herself.
In the past, when Han Ruobin used to scold her with those harsh words, she would reply with disdain.
But now, she suddenly realized that Han Ruobin was right.
She was really brainless, just like Captain Xia.
Even Xiao Wu was smarter than her.
“Can you sense it, Sister Han?” Wang Ye stopped at the foot of a towering mountain.
“What?” Su Yihan was stunned.
“The murderer who killed Brother Jia, no, Blood Sucker’s lair is on the mountain.” Wang Ye’s voice was cold..
