“You certainly haven’t heard of it, because that place was named on the spot by Second Master when he saw it, so hardly anyone knows the name Hulu Mountain.” Old Newton sighed.

“Second Brother named it?” Henry Lincoln couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Second Son of the Lincoln Family is called Jason Lincoln, and in terms of cultivation talent, he is the best in the The Lincoln Family. The The Lincoln Brothers were given the title “Master” starting from Jason Lincoln.

It could be said that Jason Lincoln single-handedly supported the tottering, nearly declining The Lincoln Family.

Jason Lincoln was even one of the few at the Xuan Bird Base to advance to the Crystal Foundation level, but just when Jason Lincoln was at his peak, he disappeared during an expedition to hunt mutated creatures.

When Jason Lincoln disappeared, Henry Lincoln was not yet ten years old. To him, Jason Lincoln was almost like a father.

With his parents passing away early, and a gap of more than twenty years between Jason Lincoln and Henry Lincoln, Jason Lincoln’s influence on him was much like that of a father. The saying “an elder brother is like a father” probably describes it best.

So many years have passed that the heroic figure in his memory has already begun to blur, and even Jason Lincoln’s face is hard to recall clearly.

But Henry Lincoln still remembers that Jason Lincoln was very good to him, often playing with him and buying him delicious food and fun toys when he was little.

Henry Lincoln’s love for fun is at least half due to being spoiled by Jason Lincoln.

“Could the place Second Brother went before he disappeared be Hulu Mountain?” Henry Lincoln asked with a frown.

Old Newton nodded. “Little Fifth Brother, you really are clever. The last place Second Master went before he disappeared was Hulu Mountain, and he never came back after that.”

“Did Third Brother and Fourth Brother go to Hulu Mountain because they found clues about Second Brother?” Henry Lincoln pondered.

“That’s one of the reasons.” Old Newton paused, and before Henry Lincoln could ask again, he continued, “Third Master and Fourth Master said they went to Hulu Mountain mainly to get you a mutated egg for your transformation.”

Henry Lincoln was slightly stunned. With his strength, he could have undergone the transformation long ago. Third Brother and Fourth Brother had always advised him to wait, and it turned out they were preparing a mutated egg for his transformation.

To complete the transformation from human to mutant, there is only one way: extract a special substance from the body of a mutated creature and use it to alter oneself, until the transformation is complete and one becomes a mutant.

This special substance can come from mutated creatures or from mutated eggs, but before the transformation, a mutated egg is essential, and the quality of this egg can, to some extent, affect the quality of the steel body after transformation.

Chapter 013: Mutation Point

But Henry Lincoln didn’t quite understand. To complete the first transformation, only a steel mutated egg is needed. Even if there are alloy eggs or crystal eggs, they can’t be used.

If the mutated egg is too advanced, it might cause the person undergoing transformation to become completely metallic, turning into a lifeless statue.

Mutation is a very mysterious and dangerous process. Only just the right amount of energy can allow a human of flesh and blood to gain a steel foundation. The process is even more bizarre and strange than a butterfly’s complete metamorphosis.

Is it really necessary to risk going to such a dangerous place just for a steel mutated egg? With the The Lincoln Family’s strength, buying a top-quality steel mutated egg shouldn’t be a problem.

Sensing the doubt in Henry Lincoln’s heart, Old Newton explained, “What’s generally called a top-quality steel mutated egg usually only has one attribute at the full value of ten. If two attributes reach ten, it’s already extremely rare. Third Master and Fourth Master wanted to find you an egg with at least three, or even four, attributes at full value, which is why they went to Hulu Mountain.”

Old Newton gave a bitter smile and continued, “If they had known earlier that you, Little Fifth Brother, had already completed your transformation, they wouldn’t have needed to go to Hulu Mountain.”

Henry Lincoln could hear a hint of reproach from Old Newton. Old Newton thought he had already transformed but hadn’t told Third Brother and Fourth Brother, causing them to take unnecessary risks.

But Henry Lincoln had no way to explain. How could a human who hadn’t transformed possibly disable a superspeed gunner with a single blow?

“How did they know there were such mutated eggs at Hulu Mountain?” Henry Lincoln still felt something was off.

“Because Hulu Mountain is actually a mutation point.” Old Newton said slowly.

When Henry Lincoln heard the words “mutation point,” his eyes widened in shock. “There’s actually a mutation point near us?”

Over two hundred years ago, when mutated creatures appeared around the world, they didn’t show up everywhere at once. Instead, some special places saw the first appearance of mutated creatures, which then gradually spread to surrounding areas. The places where mutated creatures first appeared were called mutation points.

Near a mutation point, not only are there more mutated creatures, but there may also be terrifying high-level mutants.

Once, a base with over a hundred crystal-level mutants tried to break into the outer area of a mutation point to seize resources, but they alarmed an incredibly terrifying mutated creature inside. Not only were all the mutants who went to the mutation point wiped out, but the creature also flew to a nearby human base and destroyed it completely, causing countless casualties.

Since then, most bases have deliberately avoided building near mutation points.
