The Qingyun Team members exchanged glances, and finally clenched their teeth, saying:

”Alright kid, leave your name.”

Yang Xiao laughed:

”It seems you’re planning for a gentleman’s revenge, delaying it ten years, right?”

The Qingyun Team members suddenly looked embarrassed; this so-called field of leaving one’s name was obviously an act of cowardice.

”My name’s Yang Xiao, Yang of the poplar tree, Xiao of the dragon’s roar reaching the nine heavens, from Nanmu City.”

”Okay, we’ll remember that.”

The several people carried Tan Lin’s corpse, shooting hateful glances at Yang Xiao, and quickly headed toward the Genetic Store.

Yang Xiao just gave a faint smile, neither bothering to chase nor stop them.

The onlookers also dispersed on their own, with many heading to the Underground River to catch fish.

Luo Manli stood among the crowd, watching Yang Xiao’s figure, feeling uneasy inside, and helplessly said to her companions:

”Let’s go.”

”Manli, where are we going?”

”Anywhere away from here; I just don’t want to see that annoying guy Yang Xiao.”

”Aren’t we catching fish anymore?”

”The fish are mostly caught, there’s nothing good left to catch, let’s go.”

After Luo Manli and her group left, Cai Liang of Zongli City also left with his teammates.

”Bro Liang, why aren’t we catching fish anymore?”

”Sigh!”

”Bro Liang, why the sigh?”

”We had an unspoken agreement between Wentian City, Magic City, and our Zongli City to unite against Qingyun Team from Qingyun City. This time we didn’t help Magic City people, meeting them later will be awkward, plus with Yang Xiao, it’s even more awkward, better go somewhere else to hunt monsters; let’s go, there aren’t many desert fish left anyway.”

The spectators all dispersed, leaving only Yang Xiao and Zhou Jian and others.

Yang Xiao dismounted the Flame Horse, and Zhou Jian and the others immediately came forward hugging him, expressing their thanks.

Yang Xiao asked:

”Where’s my eagle?”

”It’s nearby eating fish, these past few days the Giant Eagle has been eating non-stop, from morning till evening.”

Now that the crowd had dispersed, Zhou Yu and Xi Hui and others quickly found the Giant Eagle nearby eating fish, calling out twice to Yang Xiao.

Earlier, the crowd had blocked the view, but now looking directly, indeed there was a Giant Eagle next to a pile of fish, furiously ripping into the desert fish on the ground.

The Flame Horse had run towards the Giant Eagle long ago.

The Giant Eagle, seeing the Flame Horse, immediately neighed joyfully and then flew to Yang Xiao’s side.

Yang Xiao gently stroked the Giant Eagle’s feathers, feeling that his absence over the past few days seemed to have made it grow stronger; it seemed Zhou Jian took proper care of the Giant Eagle.

Yang Xiao patted the Giant Eagle, letting it and the Flame Horse go play on their own.

”Zhou Jian, thanks for taking care of the Giant Eagle for me.”

”Yang bro, aren’t you indirectly scolding me by saying that? Also, if you say thanks again, you won’t consider me a brother.”

Zhou Jian had originally admired Yang Xiao’s ability and intended to befriend him sincerely.

This time Yang Xiao had stepped forward and saved him, so he mentally considered Yang Xiao a true brother.

Yang Xiao smiled,

”Zhou Jian, let’s go see how you guys fish.”

At this moment, Zhou Jian and the others were particularly excited and immediately walked toward the underground river.

Upon seeing Zhou Jian and his group approach, everyone quickly cleared the foremost section of the underground river. Zhou Yu, Xi Hui, and a few others jumped to the water’s edge, where two teammates with Bird Beast Souls transformed into giant birds, circling above the river water.

A three-meter-long desert fish swam out from the underground river and was immediately shot with an arrow by the two birdmen. Then, one of the birdmen flew to the water surface, its huge claws directly grabbing the desert fish and flying to the shore, tossing it to a companion standing there.

The person on the shore stabbed the desert fish in the head with a sword. The desert fish struggled a few times before dying, exploding into more than a dozen golden Genetic Balls.

”Not bad! It’s so easy to get more than a dozen Genetic Balls, much easier than hunting other mutant monsters outside.”

Yang Xiao laughed.

”You don’t know, Yang, when we rushed over the day before yesterday, the whole river was full of desert fish. With a sword in hand, we’d stab any fish we saw, then toss them directly onto the shore—it was incredibly satisfying.

At that time, over a hundred birdmen were fishing, what a spectacular scene! It was not like now; many people have left.

It’s said that the Qingyun Team got at least 3,000 Genetic Balls in three days.”

3,000 Genetic Balls, equivalent to 300,000 Genetic Fragments, was indeed a very worthwhile activity with light efforts and little risk.

”No wonder everyone rushed over here to catch fish.”

”But now, there are very few fish left, probably not much left to catch. It’s perfect timing since I’m heading back to Magic City tomorrow. If you hadn’t come today, I would have wondered how to handle your Giant Eagle.”

Zhou Jian said.

The two chatted briefly, and Zhou Jian accompanied Yang Xiao on a casual stroll and chat along the underground river.

Yang Xiao looked at the riverbank piled with the corpses of desert fish and asked:

”Doesn’t anyone want these desert fish corpses?”

”Hehe, who could eat them all? Besides, everyone is just busy killing fish and grabbing Genetic Balls, who has time to care about these fish? Your Giant Eagle is the lucky one here; it’s been eating here for two days and is so full it can barely move.”

Yang Xiao had a thought and said:

”Well, you go and help Zhou Yu and the others catch fish. I will walk around nearby and also check on the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle, then we will head back to the Genetic Store together.”

Zhou Jian was stupefied for a moment, then nodded and said:

”Alright!”

Zhou Jian wasn’t foolish; he naturally understood that Yang Xiao had his own matters to attend to and didn’t pry.

Yang Xiao felt a bit of excitement internally.

He casually picked up a frozen desert fish, drew his sword to chop it open, and cut off a piece of fish meat to taste.

The fish meat had no stench, was elastic, and had a mild sweet taste.

These desert fish, living in the underground river of the desert for a long time, were unpolluted, making the meat delicious. As for how they mutated after the apocalypse, Yang Xiao couldn’t delve into it.

After chewing a few pieces of fish meat and swallowing, a current generated inside his body.

As a desert fish from the Enhanced Gene Stage, the energy it could provide was quite decent. There were about a thousand desert fish bodies around the entire desert river.

”I’m going to make a fortune here!”

The excitement surged in Yang Xiao’s heart, but he tried his best to remain calm outwardly.

Although he carried that little black bottle, he couldn’t let everyone see him using it to store fish, right?

Yang Xiao walked toward a slightly more remote area, where there was a pile of desert fish bodies; it seemed that everyone found it troublesome to pile them too close by and specifically tossed some desert fish bodies farther away.

The Flame Horse was already spewing fire at a desert fish, the roaring flames causing the desert fish to sizzle, with a faint smell of roasted fish meat in the air.

”This glutton!”

Yang Xiao cursed.

Yang Xiao glanced around; no one was paying attention to him, so he stood behind the Flame Horse, touched the Space Ring with his hand, and operated his Divine Sense.

The three-meter-long desert fish turned into a streak of light and entered his Space Ring. Yang Xiao directly placed that desert fish into the black bottle.
