Super Gene Hunting Ground

Lan Xin sat on the Giant Eagle, her tears no longer under control, streaming down her face as she called out Yang Xiao’s name in her heart.

”Yang Xiao, don’t die, you can’t die, I won’t let you die!”

Lan Xin had met Yang Xiao in the desert, and after several encounters, especially after a life-and-death month surrounded by Tibetan mastiffs on the Divine Mountain, she had long given her heart to Yang Xiao.

With Lan Xin’s proud and holy heart, once she liked someone, she wouldn’t change her feelings easily.

After arriving in Nanmu City with Yang Xiao, seeing Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and others by his side, her heart also experienced frustration and sadness.

Lan Xin also knew that with Yang Xiao’s abilities, adventures, and character, naturally many girls would like him.

She disdained to compete with anyone; if Yang Xiao had only her in his heart, she could wait for him, no matter how long.

If Yang Xiao harbored feelings for Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others, being a man of many affections, she wouldn’t demean herself; she would simply bury her love for Yang Xiao deep within her heart.

She couldn’t accept the reality of Yang Xiao having several women at the same time.

Later, Lan Xin became good friends with Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and others, indeed feeling very conflicted in her heart.

She even thought that maybe fate was toying with her, making her meet Yang Xiao far too late; with the excellence of Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others, it was normal for Yang Xiao to like them.

But no matter how reserved Lan Xin was, now faced with Yang Xiao’s death, she could no longer control her emotions.

She could give up status, reputation, evolution resources— all these worldly things she could abandon. The so-called great cause spoken of by others, the mighty task of saving humanity, she didn’t care about; her mind was consumed by a single thought, if she could trade all she had for Yang Xiao’s life, she would do so without hesitation.

When Monk Ben Yin returned to the base, it was already evening.

At this moment, Lan Xin was riding the Giant Eagle towards Shenlongjia, and soon it was night.

The Giant Eagle didn’t fly directly to the core area of Shenlongjia but landed in front of a cave where Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin had once temporarily lived.

Lan Xin jumped down from the Giant Eagle, and with the help of the faint moonlight, she looked at the cave in front of her and asked,

”Giant Eagle brother, why have you brought me here?”

The Giant Eagle pointed at the cave with its wing, signaling Lan Xin to go inside.

Lan Xin hesitated, drew her Longsword, and with a hum, shouted towards the cave:

”Yang Xiao? Yang Xiao? Are you in there?”

There was no response.

Lan Xin suddenly realized that she was somewhat afraid, alone at night in the deep mountains of Shenlongjia.

Relying on the light from her Magic Longsword, she approached the cave, found it shallow and empty of Yang Xiao; just as she was about to speak, she noticed bear and tiger skins spread inside.

She guessed that Yang Xiao had been sleeping here recently; she turned and asked the Giant Eagle.

”Giant Eagle brother, are you suggesting I spend the night here?”

The Giant Eagle uttered a sound and nodded slightly, then crouched in front of the cave to rest, indicating it would help guard the cave for Lan Xin.

Lan Xin looked at the forest shrouded in night outside, sighed, and said,

”Alright, we’ll rest for one night, and search for Yang Xiao in the morning.”

The night passed without incident, and early the next day, Lan Xin rode the Giant Eagle towards the core area of Shenlongjia.

The Giant Eagle crossed Gao Shan, flying directly to the lake in the valley; for the Giant Eagle, Yang Xiao was now a more important friend and master than Gong Yu. Despite knowing the power of the Giant Dragon, it bravely flew towards the general whereabouts of Yang Xiao’s fall yesterday, carrying Lan Xin to search for him.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao was sleeping at the top of Shan Feng; perhaps after the exhausting previous day, he was indeed tired. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Yang Xiao crawled out of his sleeping bag, packed up his luggage, and thought to himself that having survived a great disaster, he would definitely surprise Monk Ben Yin when he returned to the Shenlongjia base.

After packing up, he went to check on the lake in the distance as usual. He had been watching the silver giant dragon every morning from the mountain peak these past few days.

Then, to his surprise, he saw a huge black dot flying toward the lake.

Taking a closer look, he was shocked,

”Damn, isn’t that the Giant Eagle? OMG, is this seeking death? Is that dragon a vegetarian? In a bit, it’ll swallow you in one gulp.”

Yang Xiao panicked and cursed out loud:

”Monk Ben Yin you baldy, didn’t I tell you to stay put and help Gong Yu guard the Shenlongjia? How the hell did you let the Giant Eagle fly back again?”

Then he thought about it and felt something was off. Even if the Giant Eagle had strong feelings for him, it definitely wouldn’t fly back alone.

”Motherf--ker, could it be that Monk Ben Yin has feelings for me? That’s unlikely though.”

”If not Monk Ben Yin, who else? Gong Yu? Possibly, that lad values loyalty, and he took a knife for me last time in the desert. No, that’s not right, if Monk Ben Yin relayed my message to Gong Yu, Gong Yu definitely wouldn’t risk his life to come here. He knows how to prioritize,”

”Who else? Lan Xin!”

The image of Lan Xin popped into Yang Xiao’s mind.

”There’s no one else, it must be Lan Xin. Damn, isn’t this girl afraid of dying?”

Right at that moment, a glimmer of light flashed across the distant lake, and the silver giant dragon leapt out of the water, soaring into the sky.

Clenching tight, Yang Xiao cursed,

”MMP!”

He immediately leapt down the mountain. During the descent, he tapped a big tree with the tip of his foot, then continued to fall. After dropping several tens of meters, he tapped the treetop on the slope with his foot, and continued falling. Repeating this dozens of times, Yang Xiao reached the valley and flew directly over the forest, using the light Qinggong technique of Divine Mountain Snow, moving rapidly toward the direction of the Giant Eagle.

Internally, he cursed:

”Damn femme fatale, I’m truly gonna get killed this time!”

The silver giant dragon had just emerged from the lake, ready for its daily frolic, when it suddenly sensed something amiss. Turning its head in mid-air, it looked towards the distant valley forest and saw a Giant Eagle flying in.

”Eh, isn’t that the Giant Eagle from yesterday? I didn’t eat you yesterday, and you’re back again today? Do you really think dragons are herbivores?”

The giant dragon let out a long roar,

”Om—”

Immediately, the wind rose and the clouds surged around it, flying towards the Giant Eagle.

The Giant Eagle flew here purely out of courage to find Yang Xiao. Hearing the dragon’s roar, its body trembled violently, it hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned and flew away with Lan Xin on its back.

Lan Xin sat on the Giant Eagle’s back, already stunned by the sight of the approaching giant dragon.

She was seeing a giant dragon for the first time.

”Is that really a dragon?”

Immediately, she also remembered the possibility of Yang Xiao being eaten by the giant dragon, and a surge of hatred rose in her heart; she drew her Longsword.

However, at this moment, she had neither the ability to fight the giant dragon nor to control the flight of the Giant Eagle. She had hoped to quietly arrive here to look for Yang Xiao, but she didn’t expect to encounter the giant dragon before even landing.

Considering Yang Xiao’s level of Cultivation couldn’t match the giant dragon, Lan Xin naturally was no match either.

In a few quick movements, the giant dragon had already chased to within a hundred meters behind the Giant Eagle.

Lan Xin could already feel the overwhelming Killing Aura, and she had a moment of clarity, realizing why Yang Xiao hadn’t escaped—it was simply impossible to do so.

”Be it as it may, if I am bound to die, there is nothing to fear or flee from. If it comes to it, I might as well die together with Yang Xiao!”
