Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 248: Chapter 248 City Evolution Level 11

Just a few steps away, Yang Xiao looked back and saw the spaceship in the sandpit slowly melt into silver droplets like a candle, seeping into the sand and disappearing from sight.

The people within felt a great sense of confusion; what exactly was this spaceship doing? Could this be some sort of self-destruct device?

With time pressing, there wasn’t time for detailed deliberations; the group hurried towards the Genetic Store.

Along the way, they encountered no high-level monster attacks and by evening, they finally reached the Genetic Store.

Yang Xiao and the others agreed that if anyone asked about the day’s events, they would say that Ding Gao and others were dueling with a huge python, which ended up swallowing them, and that they managed to escape as they were watching from afar.

Yang Xiao and the others did not stay at the base of the Genetic Store, but went directly back to Nanmu City through a nearby Transmission Array.

Huang Wen and the others counted the fifty backpacks they had picked up, accumulating over three thousand Genetic Balls. Given that one Genetic Ball was equivalent to one hundred Genetic Fragments, that summed up to 300,000 Genetic Fragments.

There were also over three hundred pieces of high-attribute weapons in the backpacks, each starting at over a thousand Crystal Coins, cumulatively worth about 300,000 Crystal Coins.

Together, that made over 600,000 Crystal Coins.

”We’re rich!”

Huang Wen said, somewhat excitedly.

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”Let’s sell these equipments at the Gu Bo Genetic Store downstairs. All five of you have significantly increased your Gene Points. Spend about 400,000 so that all five of you can break through to the Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage. Go to the Genetic Store and evolve on your own.

The remaining over 200,000, I will go to the desert tomorrow to repay the Genetic Store owner. 830,000 Crystal Coins, 280,000 already repaid, leaving 550,000. Hmm, these 200,000 can’t be paid off all at once, let’s do it like before, repay around 70,000 daily, to avoid suspicion.”

Huang Wen and the others immediately went to the Genetic Store, exuberantly enhancing their Genetic Evolution, ecstatically pleased, and any guilt about scavenging their companions’ backpacks was long forgotten.

Huang Wen and the others advanced to the Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage, along with Zhou Qiang and Xia Luo, making a total of seven people in Nanmu City reaching this stage.

The overall Genetic Evolution Level of Nanmu City also advanced from Level 10 to Level 11.

Yang Xiao arrived at the Genetic Store and handed over the Longquan Spear and Longquan Spear Technique to Gu Bo.

”Old man, could you please appraise these for me.”

After examining them, Gu Bo smiled slightly, his eyes emitting two beams of light, sweeping over the Longquan Spear and the Golden Scroll. The two items immediately shimmered and disappeared.

Before being appraised, the Longquan Spear was just a miniature version, a few centimeters long, but after the appraisal, it immediately turned into a full-sized, two-meter-long silver long spear shimmering with flowing light.

Yang Xiao couldn’t wait to hold it in his hand, feeling the attributes of the long spear.

Longquan Spear, +8 Strength, +10% Lightning Damage.

Indeed, it was a fine weapon, with an additional point of attribute compared to the Golden Eagle Bow, and the spear’s added attribute was the Strength Attribute, directly enhancing the damage.

Yang Xiao then picked up the Longquan Spear Technique Skill Scroll, which read:

”The Longquan Spear Technique is a Soul Skill Cultivation Technique, divided into nine levels, the first three levels transform the spear into a snake, the middle three into a python, and the last three into a flood dragon.”

Gu Bo, glancing at the Golden Skill Scroll, said:

”This Longquan Spear Technique is a kind of Soul Skill Cultivation Technique, hence the transformations of the spear into snake, python, and flood dragon. Paired with the Longquan Spear, it can achieve maximum skill power, and even at full level, it will continue to enhance as your Genetic Evolution Level improves.”

Yang Xiao nodded, holding the Skill Scroll of Longquan Spear Technique in his hand. A prompt asking whether to learn it appeared in his mind. After confirming, the Skill Book transformed into a beam of light and entered Yang Xiao’s mind.

Now, Yang Xiao possessed a new skill, the Longquan Spear Technique.

Stepping out of the Genetic Store, Yang Xiao stood on the snowy square holding the Longquan Spear, channeling his consciousness. With a flick of the spear in his hand, a giant Green Snake, over ten meters long, burst forth from the void. As Yang Xiao moved the Longquan Spear, it initiated various attacking motions.

In mid-air, shadows of the Green Snake filled the space, emanating a strange Killing Aura.

After waving the spear for a moment, Yang Xiao stopped and took a deep breath.

”This Longquan Spear Technique is indeed impressive, combining the characteristics of both Soul Skills and ordinary spear techniques. It enables direct attacks against enemies with the spear, while also summoning a huge Green Snake, achieving a dual attack approach that is hard to defend against.”

With a thought, Yang Xiao stored the Longquan Spear into his Space Ring.

With this ring, storing the long spear had become incredibly convenient.

Yang Xiao remembered the python’s corpse inside the Space Ring; it was time to eat it and see if the flesh of this Advanced Enhanced Gene python could accelerate the evolution of his genes.

Yang Xiao used his mind to open the ring and was shocked to find that the python’s corpse had disappeared.

”How is this possible? I personally stored the python’s corpse inside the Space Ring; how could it just vanish?”

Yang Xiao explored the Space Ring with his consciousness, only to find that of the thirty compartments inside, only the Longquan Spear and the black bottle were present, but no sign of the python’s corpse.

This shock was not trivial. He searched again, but still couldn’t find it.

How could this be possible?

Yang Xiao returned to his room, took out the Longquan Spear and the black bottle from the Space Ring, but still found no trace of the python’s corpse.

Confused, Yang Xiao’s gaze suddenly fixated on the black bottle on the table. He did not know the origin of this bottle, nor had he had the chance to examine it closely before.

Picking up the black bottle, Yang Xiao felt something was off. It seemed heavier than when he first received it.

Yang Xiao shook the bottle slightly, sensing there seemed to be some liquid inside. He quickly brought it to his eye, and was dumbfounded.

Inside the bottle was a small amount of milky white liquid.

The black bottle had no lid. Yang Xiao shook it a few times; the liquid inside did not spill out. He then took a cup, trying to pour some of the liquid out to see what was going on.

However, no matter how he tilted the bottle, the liquid just wouldn’t pour out.

”Damn, what kind of magic is in this bottle?”

Yang Xiao examined the bottle closely, noticing that it was filled with various strange runes.

Rotating the bottle slowly in front of him, Yang Xiao found something peculiar: two of the runes were colored differently from the others. Most of the runes were in golden, but there were two in blue.

”Could it be related to these runes?”

Saying this, Yang Xiao pressed on one of the blue runes. Immediately, the small bottle emitted a stream of light. He slowly tilted the bottle, and some milky white liquid began to flow out.

Yang Xiao observed the milky white liquid in the cup; it smelled slightly fishy, similar to Mercury, forming a ball on its own without sticking to the cup.

As Yang Xiao swirled the cup, the milky white liquid rolled into a small spherical ball inside.
