Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Golden Eagle Bow (Third update, please subscribe)

Gong Yu seemed reluctant to part with the Giant Eagle, but he was helpless.

He only had a month to spend in the desert, and the time was approaching fast. Soon he would have to leave with Xie Dong and others. This Giant Eagle, being a Mutant Monster of the desert, was not allowed to pass through the Transmission Array to enter other human cities.

The Giant Eagle lay behind Gong Yu. Hearing Gong Yu’s words, it lifted its head and nuzzled him, uttering a soft cry, as if it too was unwilling to part with Gong Yu.

Huang Wen understood this feeling very profoundly. She felt the same with these two Giant Eagles. In her view, Giant Eagles were creatures of high intelligence that could communicate with humans.

Huang Wen said:

”Don’t worry, I will come here often to take care of it.”

Gong Yu smiled and replied:

”Thank you.”

Xu Li and Yang Xiao chatted for a bit before Xu Li asked:

”Brother, I find your Soul Skill incredibly astonishing. May I know what your Beast Soul is? I’ve never seen a Soul Skill like yours before.”

Xu Li had encountered many people’s Soul Skills in Wentian City, but like Yang Xiao’s, it was indeed his first encounter, and he was curious and shocked.

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”Believe it or not, I don’t even know what my Beast Soul is.”

Xu Li and Gong Yu both looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.

”I’m not lying to you, my Beast Soul has not yet appeared, but this Soul Skill came out first. That’s the situation,” said Yang Xiao with seriousness.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s sincere expression, Xu Li and Gong Yu nodded, acknowledging that Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul must be extraordinary. ”It’s a pity that Wentian City does not have a direct Transmission Array to Nanmu City; otherwise, we could invite Brother Yang to Wentian City and let the staff at the Genetic Evolution Research Institute study it for you.”

The thought of being handled like a lab rat, perhaps even dissected, sent a chill down Yang Xiao’s spine, and he quickly waved his hands and said:

”Let’s forget about the research. I’m not some special subject; the Beast Soul will appear sooner or later.”

Then he added:

”Ah, maybe there is some defect in my genes, which is why the Beast Soul has not appeared yet.”

Xu Li immediately comforted him:

”Brother Yang, your Soul Skill is so powerful, even without a Beast Soul, you can still dominate. What you lack now is the speed of Genetic Evolution. As long as you quicken your evolution, your Soul Skill will become stronger and stronger, and by then, nobody of the same level will be your match.”

”Hehe, Brother Xu, you flatter me.”

”No flattery, I’m just telling the truth. By the way, we’re going to the Desert Prairie tomorrow to hunt for a Mutation Wolf Pack. Would you like to join us? We’ll share the spoils, and their levels will definitely be higher than the monsters at the edge of the desert.”

Yang Xiao hesitated before replying:

”Thank you, but our Genetic Evolution Level is low, and we would just be holding you back. We won’t trouble you and will just stick to the edge area for now.”

Xu Li didn’t insist and chatted with Yang Xiao for a bit more before leaving. Before he left, he glanced at Xie Dong and the others, saying to Yang Xiao:

”If anyone bothers you and you need my help, just let me know.”

”Hehe, then I’ll thank you in advance, Brother Xu.”

Xu Li nodded and departed.

Xu Li was full of curiosity about Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul. He even vaguely felt that once Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul was activated, it would certainly be incredibly shocking, which is why he deliberately made friends and showed goodwill.

After Xu Li left, Huang Wen remarked:

”This Xu Li is really a social climber. When Liu Yiyi bullied us, he didn’t step forward to help us. After seeing your impressive Soul Skill, he’s now trying to get on your good side.”

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”That’s normal. In this post-apocalyptic world, survival is difficult, and everyone hopes to make friends with those who are strong and have potential. As long as he doesn’t have bad intentions, it’s fine. After all, he respects us and is willing to make friendly gestures, which isn’t a bad thing.”

That very night, Yang Xiao still kept a watchful eye and took turns keeping watch with Huang Wen and the others until they hurriedly left at about five in the morning.

After Xie Dong took Liu Yiyi and others away, Xu Li and his group also left.

Gradually, most people entered the desert to hunt monsters. For them, being able to enter the desert was very precious, and they cherished every single minute.

Last night, Qin Yu heard from Gong Yu that Liu Yiyi’s Flame Horse was also captured in the desert. She thought that after Liu Yiyi left the desert, she would go and snatch the Flame Horse.

In the following days, Yang Xiao and Gong Yu formed a team and hunted various monsters around the edge of the desert, reaping a huge harvest. In addition to gaining nearly 2,000 Genetic Balls, Yang Xiao also consumed a lot of Mutant Monster meat, enhancing his Genetic Attribute by 8 points.

Yang Xiao’s current Genetic Attributes are:

Strength 33, Agility 36, Defense 33, Wisdom 30.

Since Gong Yu had already reached the Enhanced Gene Intermediate stage, his progress was particularly slow, and he only increased his Genetic Attribute by 1 point after several days.

Huang Wen and others couldn’t enhance their Genetic Evolution by eating the flesh of Mutated Creatures, so Yang Xiao gave them 1,500 of the 2,000 Genetic Balls, and 500 to Gong Yu.

Gong Yu tried to refuse but ended up accepting them from Yang Xiao.

Genetic Balls were equivalent to 50,000 Genetic Fragments, nearly five thousand doses of Genetic Potions.

Gong Yu went to the Genetic Store in the desert and exchanged them for Genetic Potions. After deducting the service fee, he got more than 4,000 doses of Genetic Potion, but after consuming, it did not improve his attributes by even 1 point.

Gong Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile:

”There’s no way around it. I need too much energy for my evolution now and can only accumulate it gradually.”

However, after Huang Wen and the rest drank the Genetic Potion, they significantly increased their attributes. Each girl received nearly 3,000 doses of Genetic Potion, improving each of their Genetic Attributes by about 10 points, making Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and the others thrilled.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, Xie Dong, along with Liu Yiyi, Zhang Lei, and others, returned to this Genetic Store base, and Xu Li also came back with his companions.

They all looked very excited, probably because they had killed many monsters these days and had improved a lot.

Since they were leaving the desert early the next morning, Gong Yu was reluctant to leave the Giant Eagle and was feeding it sand worms while affectionately stroking its feathers.

Huang Wen comforted Gong Yu, promising to come and take care of the Giant Eagle frequently, and moreover, the two Giant Eagles she brought had gotten along well with Gong Yu’s Giant Eagle during this time.

Huang Wen’s Giant Eagles had eaten many monsters over time, especially the ones that Yang Xiao and Gong Yu discarded, which contributed to their significant Genetic Evolution.

Xu Li came over,

”Brother Yang, we’ll be leaving tomorrow morning, so tonight is like saying goodbye.”

”Sure, Brother Xu, take care. Feel free to visit Nanmu City whenever you have time.”

”Good. When the Transmission Array opens, I’ll come to Nanmu City to find you. Oh, and I saw you using a bow last time. I got a bow while hunting monsters these past few days, and just now I went to the Genetic Store to have it appraised—it’s pretty decent. See if it works for you.”

Xu Li handed a bow shimmering with silver electric arc light to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao knew at a glance that it was good, definitely better than his previous sparrow bow and the current Hard Bow.

Yang Xiao took it and, using the Genetic Attribute System in his mind, felt its attributes:

Golden Eagle Bow, +7 Agility, +10% electric arc damage.
