“Old Pervert!”
“Let go!”
The voices of the Pisces Palace Master and Capricorn Palace Master rang out simultaneously, causing the Gene Warriors outside the laboratory, who lacked the strength, to instinctively cover their ears. The two figures charged towards the Virgo Palace Master, who had transformed into a poisonous lizard.
At that moment, the Virgo Palace Master was filled with confusion. He paid no mind to their furious shouts; what truly puzzled him was that his outstretched hand grasped nothing but air. His palm, large as a fan, swiped through the dark compartment several times, each time finding it empty. Frustration and anger surged within him once more.
Thus, he lost the last remnants of his consciousness. His right arm swung out, releasing toxic gas and claws aimed directly at the Pisces Palace Master. However, this time neither of them showed mercy. Upon seeing a syringe embedded in his arm, the Pisces Palace Master was ready to crush it.
“Old Virgin, I never thought you would dare touch Star Master's belongings. It seems you’re looking for death!” The Pisces Palace Master drew two Water Splitting Needles, and as he waved his hands, streams of azure energy enveloped him. The toxic gas from the Virgo Palace Master dissipated upon contact with this energy. In that instant, the two Water Splitting Needles sliced through the scales on the Virgo Palace Master's arm and pierced his right limb.
Meanwhile, upon hearing the words of the Pisces Palace Master, the Capricorn Palace Master glanced at the syringe stuck in his arm. Noticing the golden ring at its base, he too acted out of anger. Instantly, dozens of crystal threads shot from his fingers. For some reason, the Virgo Palace Master, struck by the Water Splitting Needles, was unable to resist and became ensnared by the crystal threads.
Before their eyes, several transparent strands bound the beastly form of the Virgin Palace Master. At that moment, he roared and spewed forth a torrent of venom like rain towards everyone. The two palace masters recognized the danger and swiftly dodged aside. The members of the Tiger Shark Team had already retreated beyond the doorway; it was only those remaining under the command of Virgin who suffered. Three members were caught off guard and ended up swallowing some of the venom.
In an instant, they collapsed to the ground—Reversal Technique. Fortunately for these three, dying instantly was better than suffering prolonged agony. Those who did suffer were their teammates nearby; four or five were sprayed in the face with venom, which caused immediate necrosis and decay where it made contact. The venom even turned bone into liquid; their deaths were excruciating.
The last few members were somewhat fortunate; when venom splashed onto their clothes, they quickly tore them off to save their lives. However, they dared not approach the doorway again.
Seeing how many Gene Warriors had been killed or injured by the frenzied Virgo Palace Master, the Capricorn Palace Master struck him on the back of his neck. Five crystal threads penetrated through his scales and sealed certain nerves within him. With those nerves severed, the Virgo Palace Master collapsed to the ground as his beastly scales receded, revealing his true appearance.
However, he no longer resembled a handsome young man but instead bore age spots all over his body with sagging skin like a deflated balloon. Who could have imagined that just moments ago this man had been considered quite handsome?
Seeing this situation unfold, the Pisces Palace Master frowned and said, “This isn’t good; after you do this, that old fellow will probably lose twenty percent of his strength when he wakes up!”
“Hmph! He’s betrayed us while being a guard and has recklessly disrupted years of planning by Star Master. For this alone, he’s doomed. Do you think sending him to Star Master will give him any chance of survival?” The Capricorn Palace Master crossed his arms with fingers curled as if gripping something tightly. Then a flash of light occurred as one hand's crystal thread vanished while those binding the limbs of the Virgo Palace Master solidified.
Ultimately, several white threads appeared on the body of the Virgo Palace Master. Simultaneously, as the Capricorn Palace Master released his right hand, five needle-like threads gradually formed into place at his neck. The members of the Tiger Shark Team, exchanging glances with one another, saw shock reflected in each other's eyes.
The Twelve Zodiac Masters each possess their unique abilities. The ability of the Virgo Palace Master is clearly the potent venom of the Rainbow Lizard, while the Pisces Palace Master has genes derived from a certain fish species, wielding a pair of water-splitting stingers that exhibit special powers, somewhat akin to ice-based spiritual energy. The Capricorn Palace Master's genes, on the other hand, originate from a creature that only appears at extreme points; although this has not been publicly disclosed, it is speculated within the Zodiac that it is a type of spider.
These nearly invisible crystal threads possess formidable penetrating power. It is rare to see the Star Master take action, so for the Tiger Shark Team, this is their first encounter with the Capricorn Palace Master in action.
The Pisces Palace Master nodded and carefully withdrew a vial with a golden ring from the Virgo Palace Master's arm, stowing it away with caution. The two directed everyone to clean up, and despite their worries, the members of the Tiger Shark Team had no choice but to follow orders. However, they couldn't help but wonder where Xiao Yefeng was at that moment.
In the dry Underground Cave, two makeshift beds made of dead wood were placed side by side in the center. Two humanoid monsters lay on the beds, convulsing continuously, causing creaking sounds from beneath them.
Seeing their painful state, Sophia furrowed her brows and said, "Prophet Grandpa, how can these two resemble those who attacked us so closely?"
"Indeed," Prophet Grandpa replied. "I've been pondering this question as well. This man and woman seem extraordinary. And for their sake, both Wind Envoy and Thunder Envoy have sustained serious injuries. Is it really worth it?" The man named Xian, bearing the Beast Bone Bow, expressed his disdain for Gene Warriors.
"Cough cough! Xian, don't speak to the Prophet like that. Without him, do you think we would still be hanging on?" Thunder Envoy exclaimed excitedly while coughing repeatedly, his words filled with respect for Xiao Sifei.
Shaking his head, Xiao Sifei gestured for everyone to cease their argument. He appeared even older than when Xiao Yefeng had left, looking as if he could pass away at any moment. Yet he said firmly, "You all see our tribe's condition. Xiao Yefeng can resolve part of our issues; I believe that's reason enough for everyone to rescue him! Moreover, he is the one mentioned by the previous Prophet. I know life is difficult for you Elementalists now; don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
Xiao Sifei's words left everyone in silence for a long time. Wind Envoy finally spoke up: "Is Huaxia a place we can trust? Our abilities are crucial right now!"
"At least it's safer than other places," Xiao Sifei replied. "I admit my feelings are influenced by my identity as a descendant of Huaxia People; however, Huaxia is indeed relatively more trustworthy."
After a brief silence, Wind Envoy nodded and said, "Alright then. But Huaxia must agree to one condition: they must heal our tribe's children!"
"That's not an issue; I believe Huaxia will deliver!" Xiao Sifei nodded in agreement.
At that moment, one of the two individuals lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. After scanning the room and then looking at Xiao Yefeng beside him, it was clear that it was Consort Mi who had awakened. Still in her Beastification state, Consort Mi extended her light blue palm and gently wiped away some blood from Xiao Yefeng before turning to Xiao Sifei and saying, "Elder, since you saved us, I believe you must know him!"
Consort Mi's voice remained gentle and melodious; most importantly, she spoke in the language of these locals. Xiao Sifei nodded and replied, "To be honest, Xiao Yefeng is my grandson; I am his distant grandfather. We only just discovered this."
"Grandpa? That's great! Does Feng finally have family?" Consort Mi murmured.
Then Consort Mi said, "Alright, Grandpa Xiao, please take these people outside. His condition needs my attention, but I don't want anyone watching!"
After a moment of thought, Xiao Sifei nodded and said, "Then please, miss, take action. Everyone, let's go!" With that, he turned to leave without asking Consort Mi what she intended to do, for he knew that she would not harm Xiao Yefeng. After all, Xiao Yefeng had risked his life to save her, indicating their relationship was far from ordinary.
Xian left without hesitation. The Wind and Thunder Envoys exchanged puzzled glances at Xiao Yefeng before also exiting the cave. Only Sophia lingered for a moment, thoughtfully observing the changes in Xiao Yefeng's body before leaving with a flushed face.
"Did you leave out any details?" Xiao Sifei asked upon returning to his own cave.
"I don't think so!" Xian replied.
At that moment, Sophia blushed and said, "Prophet Grandpa, there is indeed something we didn't mention because we thought this woman was saving Xiao Yefeng!" With that, Sophia recounted the events as they had unfolded.
It turned out that this was not the first time Consort Mi had awakened; it was already the second time. The first time occurred when the two entered through a secret door in the laboratory. The Virgin's Underground Base was constructed by captured natives who were responsible for its building. During the construction of this most secretive laboratory, a hidden door was created that only these natives knew about. Of course, only a few people were aware of this hidden door, and Xian was one of them.
Thus, when Xian opened the secret door and brought them into the laboratory, the first thing they saw was a woman covered in green scales and holding two vials of potions. Upon seeing each other, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Xian's arrows could not be shot due to spatial constraints; however, he considered his hand-to-hand combat skills decent—especially with his identity as a Gold Elementalist backing him up. Yet even with Sophia's assistance as a Fire Elementalist, they still could not gain an advantage over Consort Mi.
Fortunately, after some time, Consort Mi deduced their intentions from their attire and ceased fighting. After a brief exchange, she effortlessly shattered a glass wall with a punch and carried Xiao Yefeng out. Then she injected one of the vials into Xiao Yefeng's neck.
