Chapter 20: The Powerful Qin Family, Attacked
Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon stepping into the caverns, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.
At the entrance of the caverns, a dim light was transmitted through the cave entrance. The genetic origin energy crystals on the surrounding walls emitted bright blue light.
The two lights intertwined, turning the originally dark cave into an azure blue color.
The grayish-green cavern walls were like the gray sky and the origin energy crystals were like stars.
If they had not just walked in from outside, everyone would have thought that they had entered a new dimension.
However, this ‘dimension’ looked much better than the outside.
Looking at the beautiful scene before him, Han Ning was a little dazed.
Ever since he entered dimensional space, he had been facing the gray sky every day. How long had it been since he had seen such a refreshing scene?
However, Bai Yu reminded him from the side, “Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this place. These caverns are the gathering places for dimensional beasts to live in. You have to be careful at all times.”
Only then did Han Ning regain his composure. “Yes, sir.”
As expected, after walking a short distance inside, they saw some tattered clothes and bones scattered on the ground.
These were all left behind by the special operations squad that was wiped out last time.
The flesh on the bones had already been eaten clean. Even the majority of the bones had been eaten by the dimensional beasts. What everyone found were only fragments of bones.
Looking at the remains on the ground, Han Ning could not help but recall Bai Yu’s advice.
In Dimension, not only did humans want to eat dimensional beasts, they also wanted to eat humans.
This was because after evolution, the body of a Dimension user would also contain origin power. After fusing with the genes, the body of a Dimension user would also contain genetic energy.
Dimensional beasts could also advance like Dimension users. The nutrients for advancement came from different types of dimensional beasts and Dimension users.
Hence, after evolution, Dimension users had to be careful when traveling in the wild. Once they encountered a powerful dimensional beast, there was a high chance that they would be eaten up!
On the other hand, those ordinary people who had yet to evolve, because they did not contain any energy in their bodies, would usually not bother with dimensional beasts as long as they did not provoke them.
From this point of view, ordinary people were safer.
Of course, this was only relative. If an ordinary person wanted to evolve and strengthen themselves, they would still have to fight against dimensional beasts unless they were willing to be a slave for the rest of their lives.
This time, Wu Tian had also followed in. Only by doing so would he be able to find an opportunity to make amends.
After the team had moved forward for some distance, Wu Tian reminded, “Be careful. My men were attacked by the dimensional beasts here and were completely wiped out.”
Hearing that, An Bixin looked at the remains on the ground with disdain.
“I say, Wu Tian, don’t pin your incompetence on other people. As the commander, you don’t have a brain and didn’t make any preparations beforehand, do you think everyone is like you?”
Wu Tian flew into a rage out of humiliation, but he had nothing to say.
He had to admit that although An Bixin’s words were harsh, his battle plan was indeed more meticulous.
Seeing that Wu Tian was silent, An Bixin did not mock him anymore.
As the leader from the Qin family, he had no respect for a brainless person like him from the Sun family.
Of course, this did not mean that he would not listen to advice.
The strength of the previous team was not weak, and Wu Tian himself was an Ultimate Speed expert. Since he had reminded them, An Bixin still ordered the team to pay more attention.
However, Han Ning noticed that when An Bixin was mocking him just now, he specially glanced at He Shengliang.
He was clearly showing off to the Sun family, but He Shengliang did not retaliate.
Therefore, Han Ning asked in a low voice, “Professor, aren’t the Qin and Sun families working together? Why does the Qin family seem to have a higher status than the Sun family?”
Bai Yu replied softly, “The Qin family is stronger than the Sun family. An Bixin’s genetic fusion progress is also much higher than He Shengliang’s. In addition, the Sun family was the one who made the request, so the Qin family is naturally more confident.”
These words were spoken in private, but it was clearly heard by several Ultimate Speed experts.
At their level, their senses were already incomparable to ordinary people. They could even hear their breathing clearly, much less speaking softly.
But none of them cared.
Because what Han Ning and Bai Yu said was the truth.
Especially the experts from the Sun family. Other than feeling sullen, they didn’t want to say anything else.
Unknowingly, everyone had already walked a few hundred meters forward.
However, this time, the expected beast invasion did not occur.
Along the way, the entire caverns were incredibly quiet. All that could be seen was the flickering of origin energy crystals.
Other than that, this place was so clean that it was like entering heaven.
After a while, An Bixin could not take it anymore.
Due to the previous crisis, he had specially instructed his team to slow down in order to guard against any danger.
However, after walking carefully for so long, there was still no movement in the surroundings.
This made him feel like he was being toyed with.
Finally, An Bixin said in a cold voice, “Wu Tian, did you encounter the dimensional beasts last time?”
Facing An Bixin’s question, Wu Tian immediately retorted, “Of course! If not, how did my subordinates die? I couldn’t have killed them, right?”
An Bixin had nothing to say.
Unless Wu Tian had gone mad, it was impossible for him to kill all his team members.
Right at this moment, something seemed to have been alerted in the nearby passageway, and a black shadow suddenly charged towards the group!
Han Ning was shocked!
The target of that shadow was himself!
However, before he could dodge, one of the team members behind him had already sprung up. The slender blade in her hand slashed horizontally and accurately hit the black shadow’s body.
Screech—!
The black shadow let out a short scream and instantly fell to the ground.
Han Ning looked down with lingering fear and realized that it was a beast that he had never seen before.
Its body was long and narrow like a snake, but it had the head of a monkey. Its dead body laid out on the ground, stretching more than two meters.
It seems that there are species among the dimensional beasts that specialize in sneak attacks.
Exhaling lightly, Han Ning suppressed the shock in his heart and turned around. “Thank you…”
Just as he was about to say the word ‘very much’, he stopped.
Han Ning realized that the person who attacked was a female Dimension user.
Of course, there was more than one female Dimension user in the team. Han Ning had seen women before, but the aura of this team member made Han Ning unsure if he should thank her.
The female team member was naturally Tong Bi.
After entering the caverns, she had been following behind Han Ning to ensure his safety.
Tong Bi had a head of silver hair that covered her face. When she saw Han Ning looking at her, her expression did not change at all. On her face were the words “Do not approach me”.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Han Ning held it in for a long time before swallowing back his words of thanks.
