Super Gene Hunting Ground

”I can’t be sure this is the Ghost Snake, I’ve never seen one before.”

Xing Zhe said, his face displaying a trace of panic.

In the distant darkness, a monster with lantern-like gigantic eyes emitted a green glow, coiled on a small hillside like a ghost, watching Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, yet not attacking for the moment.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath and asked:

”Xing Zhe, according to the book, what are the characteristics of the Ghost Snake, like any powerful divine skills?”

”I didn’t research thoroughly at the time, thinking it was nonsense. How could there be Ghost Snakes in this world? I just skimmed through it, remembering vaguely that this Ghost Snake likes to consume the brains of Evolvers to enhance its spirituality.”

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe stood in the cave for several minutes, their eyes gradually adapting to the dark environment. Both were of the Emperor Level Realm cultivation, with extraordinary vision compared to ordinary people, enabling them to identify objects within tens of meters even in the pitch-black night.

Yang Xiao glanced around and noticed what seemed like several skeletons in the distance.

”Xing Zhe, I see several human skeletons in the distance, could they be the missing people from Cultivation Field 101?”

Xing Zhe saw them too and shuddered upon hearing Yang Xiao’s words.

”I don’t know. What should we do now? This monster seems very powerful. Can we defeat it together?”

”Even if we can’t win, we have no choice but to face it. What else can we do?”

While the two whispered, the monster suddenly spoke from afar.

”Hehe, humans, I haven’t seen humans for decades. I didn’t expect that finally, someone has come again to bring me food, haha...”

The monster emitted an eerie laugh, slowly moving its enormous coiled body, crawling towards Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe.

As the monster crawled step by step, Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe felt a powerful pressure approaching, making their hair stand on end, filled with terror.

For Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, only an Evolver above Emperor Middle Level Realm could exert such pressure.

This monster has a high evolution level!

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe stood side by side,

A ”buzz” sounded, conjuring a Defensive Light Shield in front of them, with each hand unleashing a violent killing aura.

Yang Xiao shouted angrily:

”Demon beast, we just got lost and accidentally entered this underground river. We have no intention of harming you. If you don’t harm us, we won’t attack you either. Let’s stop fighting; we’ll immediately retreat, what do you say?”

”Haha....”

The monster let out a series of chilling laughs, its enormous body stopped about forty or fifty meters from Yang Xiao, raising its gigantic head with sinister green glowing eyes.

”Humans, you are too naive. Stumbled into the underground river by mistake? If you weren’t greedy for the evolution energy of this underground river, seeking stronger evolution energy, would you have come here?

Humans are eternally greedy. If you weren’t greedy, you wouldn’t have ended up as food for me, haha...”

After speaking with the monster, Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe’s panicked hearts gradually stabilized.

Since they couldn’t escape the monster, they could only face it bravely.

Yang Xiao glanced at Xing Zhe and said to the monster:

”Since you want to eat us and we can’t resist, could you answer a few questions before we’re gone?”

”Haha... Go ahead,”

”Are you the legendary Ghost Snake?”

”Haha... Yes, correct. Didn’t expect you to recognize me. You are quite insightful.”

”Too kind. I only happened to read about Ghost Snakes in the library of Wuji Academy,

Over the past hundred years, have many people inadvertently entered the cave and been eaten by you?”

”Haha... Yes, I’ve lost count of how many humans I’ve eaten. I only know that human brains are very delicious, especially those with high genetic evolution levels, whose brains taste the best,

I just tried and found that both of you are above the Emperor Level Realm, so I imagine your flavor should be just as delicious, haha...”

The demon beast spoke while licking its enormous red tongue, appearing to drool hungrily.

”I also wonder, what benefit do you get from eating us? There are many flying golden fish in this underground river, and they possess tremendous evolution energy, surely tastier than humans. Why not eat the flying golden fish?”

”Haha... Flying golden fish holds little significance for me. Naturally, I’ve eaten too many flying golden fish, and now they can no longer satisfy me,

Don’t humans like to hunt demon beasts, extracting their Crystal Cores to obtain evolution energy?

For us demon beasts, human brains and flesh are the best evolution energy, not only replenishing energy but also enhancing spirituality, allowing us to gradually evolve beyond demon beasts into half-human demon beasts.”

Xing Zhe suddenly interjected:

”There are gene evolvers hunting on the ground outside Wuji Island, more humans in the wild. Why not hunt humans outside?

In this underground tunnel, only a few people enter the underground river by mistake in a hundred years. What’s the point of staying here?”

”Haha...”

The monster laughed, its green eyes glanced at Xing Zhe, and said:

”Ghost Snakes are suited to living in underground river tunnels rich in evolution energy, and we live in constant darkness, unsuitable for environments bathed in sunlight,

If I could go outside, I would have long gone,

Of course, occasionally when very hungry, I’ll go out into the wild searching for those hunting humans,

Enough, you’ve asked many questions. I’m quite hungry now, haha...”

The monster issued a series of strange cries, licking its tongue, preparing to open its mouth and savor the ”delicious” food.

Yang Xiao shouted:

”Ghost Snake, what realm has your genetic evolution reached now?”

”Haha, little devil, even if I tell you, you can do nothing about it. I’ve reached Emperor Level Advanced Realm, just waiting to consume more humans and evolve into Saint Level Realm,

Don’t expect to escape from me, haha...”

”Is there no other solution besides eating us?”

The Ghost Snake paused, and after a moment of silence, sneered:

”Other than eating you, what better solution could there be for me?”

”Like cooperation; perhaps there are things you can’t achieve, and I may help you accomplish them, as long as you don’t eat us.”

Yang Xiao suggested.

”Hehe, little devil, don’t play tricks and waste time. It’s useless. I’m only interested in your brains, come, don’t resist. I’ll swallow your heads in one bite, painless,

Otherwise, I’ll make you unable to live or die, torturing you alive. Previously, some folks resisted me, which angered me, and after defeating them, I directly knocked off their skull caps, at that moment, they weren’t dead,

Slowly devouring their brains one bite at a time, they could feel me licking their brains. It was adorable, haha... Do you two want to try it?”
