Super Gene Hunting Ground

This Tibetan Mastiff, to survive, even ate the bodies of its own companions. With the dozens of Tibetan Mastiffs killed last night, these Tibetan Mastiffs have food for more than ten days without any problem.

Yang Xiao originally also thought that as long as the Tibetan Mastiffs ran out of food and couldn’t rush into the cave, they would eventually leave, but now it seems, the problem is more serious than expected.

Moreover, the Tibetan Mastiffs outside the cave have also become vigilant against their attack methods. As soon as they see him coming out, they immediately scatter to avoid, not giving Yang Xiao a chance to ambush.

Moreover, now as soon as Yang Xiao and others approach the cave entrance, without waiting for them to go out, the nearby lurking Tibetan Mastiffs use Ice Ball to attack from a distance, trapping everyone inside the cave.

It seems the Tibetan Mastiffs intend to starve Yang Xiao and the others to death in the cave.

Yang Xiao and the others had no choice but to reluctantly return inside the cave. Hearing about the situation outside, everyone became anxious since the body of a single Tibetan Mastiff was not enough for their long-term survival.

What about water? Where to get water to drink?

The atmosphere inside the cave was somewhat oppressive.

Yang Xiao comforted everyone:

”There are always solutions to problems, don’t be afraid, we will definitely find a chance to get out.”

Lan Xin also said:

”Fellow sisters, we managed to escape from the encirclement of the Tibetan Mastiffs, compared to those sisters who died, we are already lucky enough, everyone stay strong.”

Everyone nodded, and the depressive mood was temporarily relieved.

Yang Xiao knew this was not a long-term solution, they must find a water source, otherwise, people would go mad without water in a few days.

Yang Xiao looked up at the top of the cave, saw the hole on the rock wall, and said:

”Lan Xin, can you fly up there?”

Lan Xin and the others looked up and shook their heads.

”I can only fly about twenty to thirty meters high, that hole is at least fifty or sixty meters high.”

”What about leveraging the force from the rock wall? Flying up along the wall, stepping once, and then ascending, would that work?”

Lan Xin looked up at the rock wall above her head and said:

”I’ll try.”

After saying that, she leaped, rising more than twenty meters, stepped on a protruding rock on the wall with her foot, rose another twenty meters, and then leveraged again to fly to the mouth of the rock wall.

The hole was slanted, about 3 or 4 meters wide, but five or six meters deep, surrounded by hard rock.

Lan Xin grabbed a protruding rock with her hand and crawled towards the outside of the hole. When she reached the exit, she suddenly got shocked.

Below was a sheer cliff, and above was a sheer wall, the hole was located on the cliff face, making it impossible to escape from this hole.

Lan Xin returned to the cave, floated down, and repeated the situation above.

”Outside is a cliff?”

”Yes, hundreds of meters high, unless you are a bird, you can’t fly out.”

”Ah, does anyone among you have a Bird Beast Soul?”

”This?”

Lan Xin was stunned.

Yang Xiao asked: ”What, don’t any of you have Beast Souls?”

”Not that we don’t, but when the Beast Soul awakening first happened, the old owner of the Genetic Store told us if we chose not to awaken the Beast Soul, we could directly exchange it for 10 points of Genetic Attribute Value, and in future Genetic Evolutions, the Evolution resources we needed would only be ninety percent of what others needed, saving ten percent.

At that time, we discussed, Genetic Evolution provides greater Combat Power to Ancient Martial Cultivation, having a Beast Soul is actually not important, so we all chose not to awaken the Beast Soul, the old owner gave us a pill to swallow, and our Beast Soul awakening was interrupted.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was quite surprised, it seemed that human genetic evolution was completely an experiment by this planet, which could be arbitrarily interfered with.

In Magic City, Wentian City, and many other large cities, people took a kind of Genetic Evolution Pill, which allowed them to use the flesh and blood of monsters to directly enhance Genetic Evolution, while now the people of Shenming Mountain Sect were forced to interrupt Beast Soul awakening for quicker Genetic Evolution speed.

What on earth do these extraterrestrial civilizations want to do? Are we, the people of Earth, really just lab rats in their genetic evolution experiment?

Seeing Yang Xiao in a dazed and thoughtful state, Lan Xin asked:

”Yang Xiao, what’s wrong?”

Yang Xiao came back to his senses and said:

”There’s nothing we can do, since there’s a cliff outside, it seems this escape tunnel is useless. Does anyone practice the Ice Element Skills?”

Lan Xin shook her head, ”We mainly cultivate Sword Qi, as you’ve seen. Sword Qi is indestructible and incredibly powerful, and its attack damage surpasses that of ordinary skill cultivation. The only flaw is that the length of the Sword Qi is limited by the Realm.”

Yang Xiao nodded and sighed, saying:

”Alright, then I’ll use the most primitive method to get you some water to drink.”

”What method?”

Everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao initially wanted to make a joke, saying he’d pee for them to drink, but facing a group of girls as beautiful as fairies, how could he say such a joke without being beaten up as a hooligan.

Yang Xiao took out the Golden Eagle Bow, aimed it at a spot on the cave wall, drew the bow and fired an Ice Element Arrow.

The Ice Element Arrow split into ten, exploding against the wall with a bang.

A cloud of white ice mist spread out, ice beads falling from the air.

Yang Xiao shot a dozen more arrows, and soon, the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, but the side effect was also very obvious – the temperature in the whole cave plummeted.

Xue Mei laughed:

”Mr. Yang, if you keep shooting, we might not die of thirst, but we may freeze to death because of you.”

Yang Xiao paused, stopped shooting arrows,

”It’s okay, just pick up the ice cubes, put them in a basin, and then melt them on the charcoal fire to get water.”

Inside the cave, there were several iron pots, an iron bucket, and several small basins, as well as an iron kettle probably used by predecessors for boiling water and making tea during retreats.

Yang Xiao suddenly had an idea and said:

”I have a plan, come with me.”

Saying that, he excitedly ran outside the cave.

Lan Xin and the others were stunned, quickly following him out.

Yang Xiao walked to a spot about 2-3 meters away from the cave entrance, where the Tibetan Mastiff outside began firing ice bombs continuously.

Yang Xiao found a relatively safe distance, stood at the entrance, letting the ice bombs fly at him.

Bang, bang, bang...

The sound of the ice bombs exploding was incessant, the entire cave entrance enveloped in ice fog, with large layers of ice beginning to solidify around the stone walls.

Yang Xiao endured for over ten minutes, shivering coldly.

Lan Xin hurried forward, taking over for Yang Xiao.

Lan Xin endured for about ten minutes, Xiao Lan and others took turns, each lasting about five minutes.

After an hour, the ice inside the cave was about two meters thick.

The Tibetan Mastiff outside couldn’t take it anymore, the continuous firing of ice bombs, which required Qi, had them panting from exhaustion. But they never saw Yang Xiao and others come out to attack, completely frustrated.

Finally, the Tibetan Mastiff King ordered all Tibetan Mastiffs to cease firing ice bombs.

Lan Xin took out her longsword, unleashed Sword Qi, and cut off a large chunk of ice, which everyone carried back into the cave.

Yang Xiao laughed loudly:

”Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows with straw boats, we borrowed ice at the cave entrance today, haha!”

Lan Xin laughed:

”Now that’s settled, with so many ice blocks, they won’t melt for a while and we have enough water to drink.”

Thus, they returned to the cave, melted the ice for water, and Xiao Lan even found a big box of Snow Lotus Tea from the cupboard.

Cutting the ice blocks into small pieces, they placed them into the kettle, set it on the charcoal fire, and after more than half an hour, the water boiled. They then added some Snow Lotus Tea, instantly filling the air with a delightful fragrance.

Xiao Lan took the five or six small basins in the cave, poured it into bowls, and everyone took turns drinking tea.

A sip of the hot Snow Lotus Tea made everyone instantly refreshed and invigorated.
