Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Encountering a Fat Pig?

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

”Brother, this is a protected area of the Genetic Store, where fighting is forbidden. Aren’t you afraid of being punished?”

One of Cai Liang’s companions smiled and said:

”Release your Flame Horse and Giant Eagle outside the protected area. As long as they are no longer connected to you, we are free to hunt them.”

”What if I don’t?”

Yang Xiao suddenly said coldly.

”You can refuse, of course, but do you plan to stay in this protected area forever? The moment you leave, we can take your life. Be smart and hand over the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle while we still don’t hate you that much.”

At this, the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle suddenly roared angrily, glaring furiously at Cai Liang and the others.

Yang Xiao patted the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle, saying:

”Don’t rush, don’t worry, I’m here, no need to be nervous.”

At this moment, a circle of people had gathered around, all young people from different cities. Used to seeing scenes like Yang Xiao being bullied by Cai Liang and others, everyone simply watched as spectators, with no one stepping forward to uphold justice.

In this world, there is no justice. Whoever has the strongest fists has the justice. When hunting monsters in the wild, conflicts over the same prey occasionally happen, and they resolve it through strength.

Yang Xiao knew that if he wanted to hunt monsters smoothly in this area in the future without being disturbed, he would have to establish some rules today. Otherwise, not only Cai Liang and his group, but many more would covet his catches.

Dealing with these annoying matters every day meant no hope for smoothly progressing in genetic evolution.

Yang Xiao made up his mind; since someone had come forward, giving him a chance to establish his authority by winning a fight, he wouldn’t miss it.

”Alright, since you want my mounts and pets, let’s decide by the most basic rule – a duel. Whoever wins, gets the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle. If you lose, you’ll give me all your armor, weapons, jewelry, and the contents of your backpack. How about that?”

Yang Xiao wouldn’t be so arrogant as to challenge all eight opponents by himself. Handling one of them was still manageable.

Cai Liang was stunned; he didn’t expect Yang Xiao to have the courage to challenge them directly. He couldn’t quite understand Yang Xiao.

In general, those who come to the desert’s central area to hunt monsters do so in teams, with at least three members at the Intermediate Enhanced Gene level to ensure they can defend themselves and escape when encountering large numbers of monsters.

But here was Yang Xiao, having walked alone from the edge of the desert. What was this about?

Even letting Cai Liang cross the desert’s mid-section alone, he’d feel uneasy. Could it be that Yang Xiao’s Genetic Plan was highly advanced?

That couldn’t be true. Even if Nanmu City had reached level 11, mobilizing resources to push Yang Xiao to the Advanced Enhanced Gene level would require millions, even tens of millions of Crystal Coins. Even in Zongli City, very few could break through to the Advanced Enhanced Gene level.

Cai Liang suddenly hesitated.

One of his companions, Qin Su, who had just advanced from the Primary to Intermediate Enhanced Gene level yesterday, was brimming with confidence and an invincible demeanor. He jumped out immediately and asked:

”Kid, do you stand by your words?”

”Of course,” Yang Xiao nodded.

”Liang Bro, let me take this kid on. Let’s see how tough he is, daring to challenge our Zongli City’s people. Even the people from Wentian City and Magic City have to show us some respect.”

The team from Wentian City, including Zuo Feiyang and Luo Manli, had left this place a few days ago to search for companions and were not nearby. However, a group from Magic City was in the crowd of onlookers. Hearing Qin Su’s words, they all smiled knowingly.

Zongli City’s overall genetic evolution pace was very fast, representing a rapidly rising force in recent times, with the potential to catch up to Wentian City and Magic City. The current unspoken rule was that the three teams from Wentian City, Magic City, and Zongli City would avoid each other as much as possible, aiming to avert conflicts over hunting prey.

The rest of the people would also follow this unspoken rule, trying their best to avoid conflicts with these three teams.

Cai Liang glanced at Qin Su, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said:

”Alright, then you accept his challenge, one-on-one, we are not taking advantage either, after all, we are all fellow countrymen.”

Yang Xiao smiled, gave Cai Liang a thumbs up,

”For that remark, I think you are a real man!”

Cai Liang: ”...”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Qin Su sneered:

”Don’t just talk, sucking up to my elder brother won’t help, since you agreed to the challenge, let’s take it outside.”

Saying this, Qin Su took out a basketball-sized meteor ball from the backpack behind him, a long chain attached to the ball.

It was the first time Yang Xiao saw someone using a Meteor Hammer, and he couldn’t help but be curious.

”What, got scared? Chickening out?”

Seeing Yang Xiao not moving immediately, Su Qin assumed Yang Xiao was scared inside and immediately became arrogant, beginning to taunt Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly and said:

”Fine, if you’re in such a hurry to die, I can’t help it.”

Saying that, he touched the Space Ring on his finger and took out the Longquan Spear.

This action of Yang Xiao immediately caused a sensation.

At least five or six people in the crowd recognized that Space Ring because the owner of Genetic Store had promoted it to many people before, everyone wanted to buy it but couldn’t afford the 900,000 Crystal Coins, so they had to give up.

”Holy shit, isn’t that the Space Ring?”

”Yes, I heard that the Space Ring was purchased by someone, never thought it would be him.”

”This kid is so rich? A rich second-generation?”

”Damn it, it’s been just over half a year since the apocalypse, where does a rich second-generation come from, nearly a million Crystal Coins, even the current generation’s dads are struggling hard, where does a rich second generation come from?”

”Then where did this kid get so many Crystal Coins?”

...

Immediately, the crowd was filled with discussions, and their impression of Yang Xiao also underwent a huge change. Originally, they thought he was just a nobody, but didn’t expect him to have a ring worth over a million Crystal Coins, how could they bear this?

Thus, many people in their hearts began to harbor covetous thoughts, even secretly envying Qin Su, wondering if Qin Su could defeat Yang Xiao, could they have a chance to snatch his ring?

A bright light flashed across Qin Su’s mind, his inner greed telling him, bro, this is a chance to strike it rich, did he run into a fat pig?

Cai Liang felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what it was, now the situation had escalated, they could only take it one step at a time, after all, they had eight people and Yang Xiao was just one, Nanmu City didn’t have any significant backing, the situation was still under their control.

Yang Xiao glanced at the Flame Horse beside him, a thought crossed his mind, he jumped onto the Flame Horse, gently patted its back, and walked towards a place outside the orange glow protected area.
