Chapter 3138 - Snake Turtle Hide (1/2)

The planet was part of Ghost Starlight. The whole planet was full of land pulses. One only needed to take three steps to discover another small pulse. If one took 10 steps, one could probably find a big pulse. If one used a shovel to dig a bit, one might get a gene egg. Of course, that was a bit exaggerated, but there were many land pulses and gene eggs. In a few short days, they were able to dig up a thousand gene eggs. Although there were no god-class gene eggs, there were a lot of king-class gene eggs. On the fifth day of their dig, something happened. A big dragon space knight died. In the beginning, no one noticed it. The rider was sleeping in a tent with a few other riders.

The next day, he just stopped breathing. His body was already cold when it was discovered. He had no wounds, and the other knight riders had not heard anything. They thought he must have died from a sickness of some kind.

Over the next few days, one rider died during their sleep each night. They all passed away quietly without wounds.

The medics examined the knights’ bodies and found no problems. There was no poison in them, and their organs were fine. It was as if they had died naturally.

Sky King thought someone had come to fight him for the land pulse, so he sent someone to scour the area. He also had powerful gene casters in place to defend the area.

In the end, they were unable to find anything. One person was still dying daily. It was no more and no less. It worried all of the big dragon riders. None dared to sleep. They were scared that they would be the next one to die.

“My King, I do not think this is about a potential enemy doing something,” Mister Wei said to Sky King.

“What do you mean by that?” Sky King asked with a squint of his eyes. He looked calm, but people who knew him knew that his mood was secretly sour. “The riders who mysteriously died one by one were digging in the same zone as the land pulse,” Mister Wei said. “From what I can tell, they should have been affected by the same land pulse.”

“Are you saying there is a gene race near that land pulse?” Sky King asked with surprise.

Mister Wei shook his head. “It might not be a gene race. Many land pulses have unlucky powers, such as an evil spirit spring weird scene.”

“I asked, but they did not find an evil spirit spring there,” Sky King answered.

Mister Wei said, “An evil spirit spring is a rather obvious weird scene. There are some worse powers out there that are not as easy to trace. I want to go to that land pulse and see what happens.”

“Sure. I will go with you. I would like to see what is causing this.” Sky King spoke with a murderous look.

Han Sen and the others followed as well. After all, Han Sen had taken a 30% cut, so it would not be very nice if he sat there doing nothing at all to contribute.

The dead riders had dug at different locations of the land pulse, but they were always near the same river.

That river was the biggest one on the planet. It was more than 10,000 miles long. It also had several branches.

Other creatures on the planet had almost entirely been wiped out by the toxic bees. Some had managed to stay alive in the water. Sky King believed it must have been a gene race that survived in the water causing the problem. After investigating it, they discovered nothing.

Mister Wei brought a few students with him to follow the river. They observed the river and how it flowed. They took out something that looked like a disc to confirm their location.

They eventually reached the land pulse where the knights had been digging. On the way, Mister Wei did not have much to say. For the duration of their journey, his face looked gloomier by the minute.
