Multi-Gene

Closing his eyes for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly itched and his pupils constricted before they expanded again, covering every whiteness in his eyes.

Night vision. Although it wasn't as clear as when he was outside, Since he was deep underground, but it was manageable.

Using the last bit of strength he could gather, he cracked apart a man sized hole in the iron cover, immediately dropping himself into it, and that was how he ended up here.

David grunted slightly as he slowly stood up. Looking at the hole on the roof, of the basement, the sand had already hardened, filling and covering up the hole as though nothing had happened.

Although he didn't know how long he had drop for, but he had executed Earth-Swim ability for 6 seconds. It was no wonder he barely had any energy left.

Looking around, the basement was completely dark, his fall had interrupted his concentration and focus, under such circumstances, he was unable to keep the Night Vision active.

But he hadn't even reactivated the Night Vision ability when a slightly bright holographic image shone from his imprint. Hazel had taken action. It seems she knew what to do at such moment.

David hurriedly checked his surroundings, the place was basically empty and it wasn't even big of a space. He had been incredibly lucky to have fallen straight on top of the hidden room. Otherwise if he had missed the room by a few meters, he would definitely still be buried under the ground by now.

And would definitely have died of lack of oxygen in a few minute even if the beast didn't find him eventually.

His expression was awful at this moment. There as nothing valuable in the room, it only contained a few old furniture within. David could guess that even the decorations in the chairs and table had been pried out. It had been basically ransacked and there was nothing valuable left in the hidden room.

The others before him had already searched the room thoroughly and had taken every valuable thing in the room.

He was truly unlucky. Abruptly, David raised his head up and his expression darkened.

A muffled sound which was getting increasingly prominent could be heard from the roof. The beast was catching up.

"Aren't you a chicken, how come you are this violent." David almost shouted out loud as he gritted his teeth in anger.

He barely had any energy left anyways. Grabbing the blood orb from his bag, he directly gulped the entire thing. The membrane had turned into a hard shell but it was no problem as David crushed the whole thing with his teeth.

He want worried about getting bloated from energy. There was barely more than seven drops left in it anyways, energy began to fill his body and his dried up and shrivelled vessels was helping rapidly.

His muscles contracted and released as though breathing in a new life.

Whispering softly David said. "Activate the lifeform Scanner."

Different red dots filled his vision but they were very small in size even though they were large in numbers, scattered across his vision. He could guess that the small dots were the Dirt-Pale worms that littered the soil abundantly.

But there was a large dot which was on top of him and only a few inches away from him. It seems it would get to the basement of the building anytime soon. He had approximately a minute left.

Although he had a few breaths of time to rest and prepare, there was barely anything that would change if he confronted the beast. He would still be inevitably defeated.

David sighed softly. He wasn't stupid enough to confront the beast once more.

Moving towards one side of the room.

Boom! Boom. Boom!

David punched the wall, creating another man sized hole the he could pass through. But contrary to ones expectations, he didn't pass through it, instead he went to the opposite side of the wall, he had at most 40 seconds left now.

Punching through the steel wall repeatedly, this one was a lot harder and it took David more than ten seconds to pull out a man sized hole apart in the wall.

He dug the soil out but as was about to pass through the hole, something caught his attention from the corner of his eyes.

Moving backwards to one corner, David turned around slowly, looking sideways. His eyebrows furrowed. There was a slight abnormality at one part of the wall before him.

He could see small red dots all over the place, at each three sides of the room, even when he looked downwards, there were still small red dots there as the Lifeform Scanner was still activated, but at that particular wall, there wasn't a single red dot there.

Which indicated that there were barely any lifeform there. But as David was about to confirm, the top of the room screeched as one claw if the beast scratched against the iron roof creating a screeching sound.

After which, the Lifeforms scanner deactivated itself since the 30 seconds time was over. David was frustrated and he held his head with his hand, he didn't know what to do.

If he left now, he might be able to escape from the pursuit of the Four-Winged Chicken but he was also curious about the weird phenomenon that was in the wall.

Gritting his teeth, in a normal circumstance, he would definitely ignore it as it wasn't his problem but what if the thing behind the wall was a treasure that could help him defeat the beast, he certainly could give such an opportunity up.

His gaze hardened and in the next moment, he activated all his ability because in just about a minute, he had almost recovered to his peak condition. Moreover overwhelming energy was still flowing in his body and he needed to release it quickly.

Bronze body, Five fold strength, and scorching fury fully boosted by the power of ultimate effect of Formless Heat.

The cold temperature of the room dropped drastically and heat wave visibly rose from David's metallic body. His hair curled and his blood boiled.

He punched the at the wall with that much incredible force.

Bang!
