Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: It’s Time to Go to Xianan University

After Huang Wen left with the Giant Eagle, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, and Feifei, the girls began to play around with the young Giant Eagle, filling the cave with cheerful laughter.

Yang Xiao felt utterly dejected. According to his initial estimate, killing the Giant Eagle might have yielded a high-level bow, significantly superior to a sparrow bow, but now all hope was dashed.

Long Yongjun looked at Yang Xiao and said:

”Boss, your dreams fell through, huh?”

Long Yongjun knew Yang Xiao’s intention in hunting the Giant Eagle.

Yang Xiao spread his hands, showing he was helpless, and then said:

”Go around inside the cave, pick up those glowing things on the ground, they are Genetic Fragments, and there are also some equipment and Secret Manuals dropped by Mutated Creatures, all treasures.”

Long Yongjun had already noticed the faintly glowing items on the ground. Hearing Yang Xiao’s words, he quickly squatted down to gather the items.

...

Huang Wen transformed into a Blue Peacock, carrying the Giant Eagle and flew towards the mountain base, quickly reaching the icy river.

Zhao Gang and Xiao Zhe, leading hundreds of people, were fishing on the ice. Suddenly seeing a huge eagle flying from the sky, everyone was scared and looked up.

”Hey, isn’t that Blue Peacock Huang Wen’s Beast Soul?”

”Yes, it looks so familiar. But that Giant Eagle? I’ve never heard whose Beast Soul is a Giant Eagle.”

”It’s freaking huge, that Giant Eagle is really terrifying.”

...

People were discussing fervently.

Huang Wen landed directly in front of everyone, and people exclaimed:

”Huang Wen, it’s you? Who is that Giant Eagle behind you?”

The Giant Eagle then folded its wings and flapped down onto the ice.

On the icy surface of the river, there were many large fish discarded by Yang Xiao and others. These fish, generally weighing dozens of pounds, were merely killed for their Genetic Fragments and then discarded.

Occasionally, even fish weighing over a hundred pounds were carelessly thrown away.

The Giant Eagle, truly starving at this point with no animals to catch in the mountains and unable to fish due to the frozen river, suddenly saw so many Ice Fish, joyously screeched, and breathed out a flame that instantly thawed a fish. With one gulp, it swallowed the fish.

Huang Wen told the Giant Eagle:

”Eat slowly, there’s no rush, take it easy.”

Then she turned to Xiao Zhe and the others, saying:

”This is my new friend, Yingying. I have another little friend called Little Yingying.”

Zhao Gang looked bewildered and asked:

”Where’s the boss? Aren’t you together?”

”Ah, Yang Xiao is still at the top of the mountains.”

”Ah, what’s this about?”

”Ah, it’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you later. Uh, whoever, throw over those freshly dug fish for my Yingying to eat.”

The freshly dug fish were alive, their blood still flowing, and compared to the frozen dead fish on the ice, they were naturally more delicious.

The Giant Eagle seemed very interested in the freshly dug live fish, consuming several dozens-of-pounds-heavy fish.

Finally, Huang Wen threw a freshly dug fish, weighing around a hundred pounds, to the Giant Eagle.

The Giant Eagle cried a few times and spread its wings toward a distant mountain peak.

Huang Wen nodded and said:

”Alright, we will head back and take this for Little Yingying to eat.”

The Giant Eagle tightly clutched the Ice Fish with its sharp talons, unfurled its massive wings, and with a powerful flap, soared into the sky, flying towards the distant mountains.

Huang Wen also quickly transformed into a Blue Peacock and followed behind.

Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, and others watched the distant figures of Huang Wen and the Giant Eagle, marveling in astonishment.

...

Yang Xiao and Long Yongjun collected hundreds of Genetic Fragments and dozens of unappraised weapons such as knives, swords, and bows, along with five golden scrolls in the cave.

Outside the cave, the Giant Eagle returned with the big fish, dropping it at the entrance before it retreated back into the cave, then it awkwardly backed into the cave while carrying the big fish in its beak.

Huang Wen followed, seeing that the Giant Eagle was struggling with the fish and decided to go forward and carry the fish into the cave herself.

The Giant Eagle cried out, expressing thanks.

Yang Xiao and the others heard the Giant Eagle’s cry and knew it had returned.

The little Giant Eagle, hearing its mother’s voice, immediately ran joyfully towards the cave entrance.

The Giant Eagle entered the cave’s hall, and Huang Wen dragged the big fish inside.

The little eagle cheered, flinging itself toward its mother for a hug, then hugged Huang Wen with its half-spread wings before it walked over to the big fish on the ground, pecked sharply at the fish’s eyes, and swallowed an eyeball the size of a fist.

The big fish on the ground was not entirely dead and struggled a few times inside the cave.

The small Giant Eagle extended its sharp talons, firmly pressed down on the big fish, and with its sharp beak, eagerly tore at the fresh fish meat, happily eating.

After eating three Small Blood Pills and several pieces of dried wolf meat, followed by drinking some water, the small Giant Eagle’s body was slowly recovering. Now consuming the fresh Ice Fish, its body began to recover rapidly.

After half an hour, the little Giant Eagle had almost devoured half of the giant fish’s body, eating until it was full, and kept joyfully shouting, looking completely rejuvenated.

Yang Xiao saw this and said:

”Alright, Huang Wen, your task is complete. It’s time for us to head down the mountain now, oh my bow.”

Yang Xiao said with infinite regret, glancing at the mother Giant Eagle, really wanting to rush up and strangle it, though he knew he was no match for it.

Huang Wen smiled and said:

”Always thinking about the bow, I’ll get you a good one later.”

”Yang Xiao, it’s getting late today, and it’s very dangerous to descend the mountain at this time. It’s hard to see the path clearly, and it’s easy to have an accident.”

The path from the peak to the mid-mountain is rugged and steep, one could easily fall off the cliff, other than Huang Wen and Li Zhan who could fly, the rest could not.

”Looks like we’re going to spend the night here?”

...

In the Century Commercial Building within Nanmu City, Xie Jun was holding a meeting with the managers of three Genetic Stores in the city.

During this period, Xie Jun and his subordinates continuously conquered other Genetic Store bases, seizing over a thousand pieces of Snow Wolf Armor, which was the limit since the number of Snow Wolves was limited, and each Genetic Store base had around a hundred pieces.

Xie Jun had three capable generals under him, all from the Armed Department, namely Du Tian, Feng Lei, and Zhou Hua.

Originally, these three grew up with Xie Jun while hunting Mutated Creatures, later when Xie Jun conquered the other two Genetic Store bases in the city, he simply let his two comrades manage those bases, and also entrusted one of them with the Century Commercial Building base so that he could focus on being the Supreme Commander.

Xie Jun, a military academy graduate, was ambitious and understood strategy and tactics.

Now, he had unified more than a dozen Genetic Store bases around Nanmu City, with only Kongming Academy, Xianan University, and Star City left.

”Brothers, it’s time to talk with Xianan University and Kongming Academy, and also Star City.”

Xie Jun took a drag of his Furong Wang cigarette, exhaling a ring of smoke.

The three Genetic Store bases had scavenged almost every supermarket and store in the main city area, accumulating a massive amount of supplies, enough for them to live for 2 to 3 years.

Previously it was cold, without the insulating Snow Wolf Armor, but now that they were wearing Snow Wolf Armor, they could finally sit in the office building in Century Commercial Square.

The only regret was that there was no power equipment here, and the gas stations were all in the suburbs, so they couldn’t use electric heating devices.
