Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Lord Mo Tuo

Yang Xiao, claiming the need to bring back the Monster carcasses from the Space Ring to Nanmu City, asked Huang Wen and the others to wait inside the orange protective light of the Genetic Store, then turned around and went to the nearby Transmission Array, returning to Nanmu City.

Upon returning to the room at the Century Commercial Building in Nanmu City, Yang Xiao took out the black bottle. He had hunted over a hundred Mutant Monsters today, and now the bottle contained a considerable amount of liquid.

Yang Xiao poured out the liquid from the bottle and slowly drank it down.

The Genetic Data System in his mind prompted once more that 3 Genetic Attribute points could be increased, and this time Xiao Zhe chose to upgrade the Wisdom Attribute since the other three attributes were already at 38 points and Wisdom was only at 30.

Compared to the 3-point increase on the basis of the 38-point Strength Attribute, the Wisdom Attribute could achieve a direct 7-point enhancement from its base of 30 points.

Now Yang Xiao’s Four Attributes stood at:

Strength 38, Agility 38, Defense 38, Wisdom 37.

Barring any surprises, in about five days, Yang Xiao would be able to smoothly break through to the Enhanced Gene Primary Level.

Yang Xiao wrapped the black bottle in a piece of torn cloth and shoved it into a nondescript secret corner at the back of the cupboard.

It was generally not easy for anyone to gain access to Yang Xiao’s room at the Century Commercial Building. Xiao Zhe had people standing guard and keeping watch over the entire building 24 hours a day.

Nowadays, in this apocalyptic world, no one has many valuables, and under normal circumstances, no one comes here looking for anything.

Yang Xiao returned directly to the desert Genetic Store outpost through the Transmission Array. The sky in the desert was gradually darkening, and everyone had already sought refuge inside the orange protective light of the Genetic Store.

Seeing Yang Xiao come out, Huang Wen and others called out anxiously:

”Yang Xiao, hurry over, the Sand Demon is about to emerge.”

Startled, Yang Xiao sprinted, his current 38-point Agility Attribute making him as swift as the wind, whisking him into the orange glow of the Genetic Store.

Qin Yu looked at Yang Xiao, surprised, and asked:

”Boss, how come I feel that your Genetic Evolution has increased quite a bit, and now you run as fast as the wind?”

Yang Xiao chuckled but didn’t answer directly, merely saying he was too anxious fearing he would be eaten by the Sand Demon, so he just ran faster.

Yang Xiao had not told anyone about his recent use of the black bottle to enhance Genetic Evolution. In the eyes of Huang Wen and the rest, it was unlikely for Yang Xiao to increase even 1 Genetic Attribute point per day, let alone several points.

Yang Xiao glanced at the Genetic Store and noticed that the Iron Tower Warriors seemed to have vanished, so he inquired:

”Huh, weren’t there many Iron Tower Warriors outside before I left?”

”They’ve left long ago.”

Huang Wen replied.

”Left? Where did they go?”

”Don’t know, they headed deeper into the desert.”

Yang Xiao was stunned, ”Aren’t they afraid of the Sand Demon?”

...

At this moment, the site of yesterday’s Spaceship crash was occupied by several dozen Iron Tower Warriors, led by a middle-aged man followed by five guards.

Dozens of Iron Tower Guards were scattered around, forming a semi-circle, encircling the middle-aged man and the five guards within.

The middle-aged man was holding a disc-shaped device, swaying it left and right, with a light dot flickering constantly on it.

”Correct, according to this Detection Device, our Spaceship indeed crashed right here. There are remnants of special metal components left after the Spaceship’s automatic dissolution. This type of metal material is exclusive to our planet; such metal materials do not exist on Earth.”

A guard next to him nodded and said:

”Mo Tuo Sir, according to the traces on the sand, this place is a large crater. Although it has been eroded by the wind and sand, one can still roughly discern the pits formed by the impact of the crashed spaceship.”

The middle-aged man known as Mo Tuo nodded.

”According to the story from the elderly owner of the nearby Genetic Store, he felt the ground shake yesterday, rushed out of the store, and even saw a column of rainbow light rising. Taking all these into account, it is certain that our spaceship indeed crashed here.”

”Mo Tuo Sir, since our spaceship has a self-dissolving feature, what’s the point of coming here to search now?”

”Well, we were ordered to confirm the crash site of the spaceship and to see if anything was left behind, in order to investigate why the ship crashed. However, it now seems impossible to find any clues. In this desert, desolate and uninhabited, the ship has completely dissolved without leaving a trace.”

Mo Tuo sighed and turned to survey the surroundings.

Scattered items littered the distant ground, remnants of what Ding Gao and his companions left behind upon their deaths.

”Search the surroundings, see if there is anything to be found.”

”Yes, Sir.”

Half an hour later, five guards rushed over.

”Mo Tuo Sir, we’ve found some weapons and clothing left by human warriors in the sands; there appears to have been a small-scale battle here. Many items have been left behind, a dozen or so pieces.”

Mo Tuo nodded and after a moment of contemplation, he said:

”It’s normal for humans to hunt monsters in the desert to improve their genes. Deaths happen every day.

This area is in the middle of the desert, where the monsters are above Intermediate Level in terms of Enhanced Genes. Sometimes, they also group up to hunt those of Advanced Enhanced Genes. If they can’t match the strength of the monsters, it’s normal for them to be completely wiped out.

Our spaceship is beyond their current capacity to attack; it’s just a coincidence that it crashed here.”

”Sir, what should we do now?”

”What else can we do? We’ll have to report back that the spaceship crashed in the desert and triggered its self-destruct mechanism, melting away. We are now going back to the Wentian City branch.”

”Yes, Mo Tuo Sir.”

The five guards were about to direct the nearby Iron Tower Warriors to return when suddenly, a sandstorm rose, and a giant monster, a hundred meters tall with crimson eyes and swinging huge hands, emerged from the swirling sand, fiercely slamming its fists towards the Iron Tower Warriors on the ground.

”Mo Tuo Sir, it’s a Sand Demon!”

The five guards exclaimed in alarm, showing their fear of the Sand Demon.

”Humph, it’s just a Sand Demon. Why so nervous?”

Mo Tuo Sir scoffed and gestured towards the Sand Demon with a wave of his hand. A massive palm emerged from the void, expanding larger and larger, finally blowing up to rival the size of the Sand Demon itself, accompanied by the roaring sound of thunder.

With a ”boom”, dust exploded everywhere, and the huge body of the Sand Demon in the sky immediately shattered into pieces, falling to the sandy surface below.

Originally a monster formed from sand, now its body split into fragments, continuously wriggling on the sands, then slowly burrowed into the sand and disappeared.

”Mo Tuo Sir, your cultivation is truly formidable; we are in awe!”

A guard immediately said with respect.

Mo Tuo Sir said indifferently:

”That Sand Demon was originally a monster brought over from our planet. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Let’s head back.”
