Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 635 636: Merman (3 more)

Yang Xiao, with an excited heart, flew to the edge of the pond and saw countless dead fish floating on the surface of the water.

Some fish were as long as ten or even more than twenty meters.

The pond was still a blood red, with a strong stench of fishiness wafting about.

Now, as dawn just began to break, there were no wild beasts nearby.

Yang Xiao took out a Black Bottle and stood on the edge of the pond, circulating his thoughts and pointed the bottle towards the dead fish floating on the water.

"Whoosh,"

"Whoosh,"

"Whoosh,"

....

The dead fish on the surface of the water floated up one after another, turning into beams of light that flew into the mysterious Black Bottle.

Yang Xiao was ecstatic.

The fish within about ten meters of the shore could be absorbed directly through the Black Bottle. Those further away were out of reach.

Yang Xiao soared into the sky, flying above the water surface, collecting the dead fish one by one into the bottle.

Since the surface was covered with floating dead fish, Yang Xiao, when tired, could simply step on a dead fish to rise again for Floating Flight.

Coming across those giant dead fish, he could even stand directly on the belly of the fish to collect other nearby dead ones.

Once Yang Xiao started this collection, he kept busy without stopping, his heart growing more excited.

It had been a while since he came to Purple Origin Star, without finding an opportunity to Burst through, but now, at last, he had his chance.

The length of the pond was much longer than Yang Xiao had anticipated, about ten kilometers or so.

Yang Xiao also found something strange—that as the number of dead fish he collected increased, the power of the Black Bottle to absorb them seemed to grow gradually.

In the beginning, only dead fish about ten meters away could be collected, but slowly he could collect those from 11 meters, 12 meters, ... up to about 15 meters away, and the speed of collection began to increase.

As soon as a dead fish was shrouded in the oppressive power emitted by the Black Bottle, it was instantly absorbed.

At first, Yang Xiao was worried about when the Black Bottle might fill up. It wasn't until later that he realized it was like a bottomless pit.

...

The sunlight shone on the cliffs. It was now around ten in the morning.

Gu Beifeng and the others finally opened their eyes, groggily sitting up.

Since everyone had arrived on Purple Origin Planet, they had been sent to the mines, living a relentless existence and not knowing what the planet really looked like.

Now, standing on the giant boulders of the cliff, peering down into the valley, they realized that Purple Origin Planet was not so different from Earth, but it was more beautiful, the air clearer, the environment more harmonious.

This was a prehistoric Earth!

But gazing at scenery doesn't fill an empty stomach.

Someone first muttered,

"I'm so hungry!"

Suddenly, everyone came to the same realization and felt hungry.

"Yang Xiao, what shall we have for breakfast?"

Gu Beifeng, out of habit, asked.

No one responded.

"Eh, where's Yang Xiao?"

Everyone had been admiring the scenery just now and had not counted heads. As the question was raised by Gu Beifeng, everyone took a quick glance around and then realized that Yang Xiao was missing.

"Du Tianxing, where's Yang Xiao?"

Du Tianxing was currently lying on the rocks, resting with his eyes half-closed.

"Yang Xiao, he said he was going to buy a few oranges... psh, he said he was going down for a stroll."

"What time did he go?"

"I didn't check the time, just when it was getting light, probably around four or five o'clock."

"What time is it now?"

"It's about 10:30 now,"

Someone answered.

"Ah!"

Du Tianxing suddenly sat up from atop the rock.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"Could something have happened to Yang Xiao? Why has he been gone so long? Shall we go down to look for him?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, just as they were about to leap down, someone pointed towards a shadow in the distance and said:

"Look, isn't that Yang Xiao?"

Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw a shadow rushing towards them in the distance, growing larger and indeed it was Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao got to the cliff's bottom, waved to the people above, and they all descended together.

"Yang Xiao, what's the deal with you? Where have you been for so long before coming back?"

Du Tianxing peppered him with a string of questions.

"Didn't I say I was going to buy you some oranges?"

"Cut the crap, what really—"

Yang Xiao held up two huge oranges right in front of Du Tianxing's eyes, completely dazzling him, he was gobsmacked.

"Are those really effing oranges?"

Yang Xiao smiled without speaking and took out a dozen more oranges from his Space Ring, giving one to each person, and said:

"There are dozens of orange trees near the pond, a whole area of red."

"They're not poisonous, right? Can we eat them?"

Chi Lin peeled an orange, slightly hesitant. Hearing what he said, everyone who had oranges at their mouths took them back out.

Yang Xiao laughed and said,

"Don't worry, I've already tried them. Plus, I saw some small animals sneaking oranges, none of them dropped dead."

As he spoke, Yang Xiao peeled an orange in front of everyone and started eating.

Only then did everyone feel at ease and started eating, finding the oranges to be incredibly sweet and flavorful.

"These oranges are way better than the ones on Earth."

"So sweet."

"Nonsense, the oranges on Earth—are those even fit for human consumption? With air and water contamination, not to mention all the pesticides used and fertilizers applied? Could those taste good?

Now look at this place, mountains clear and waters elegant, no industrial pollution whatsoever, truly pure, natural, organic, and green food."

"Are there more, Yang Xiao?"

"Of course, it's not far, only about two kilometers up the mountain, if you want some help yourself. By the way, I picked up a few fish from the pond, when you come back, let's grill them, I'm going up to rest a bit first."

Yang Xiao took out a giant fish over ten meters long from his Space Ring and tossed it onto the grass.

So, they divided the work, Du Tianxing took a few people to gather wood and start a fire to grill the fish, Gu Beifeng led some people to the orchard further away to pick oranges.

Yang Xiao yawned and said,

"I'm going up for a quick nap, don't call me when it's time to eat fish, just leave it here for me once it's grilled."

"Okay, you go rest, leave this to me."

Du Tianxing said.

Yang Xiao then soared into the air, and with a few leaps, arrived back at the giant boulder on the cliff.

With no one else around, Yang Xiao sat in the middle of the boulder and took a glance at the Black Bottle.

"Heh, a bottle full of white liquid, I'm really going to strike it rich this time."

...

Yang Xiao didn't even realize how many fish he had collected in the pond, and by the end, he was annoyed, only collecting large ones, dismissing anything under five meters. Still, he kept collecting until past ten in the morning.

This time, the number of Mutated Creatures Yang Xiao had collected surpassed the total he had ever collected on Earth.

Having finished the collection, just as Yang Xiao left the pond, a huge wave suddenly surged in the center of the water.

After a moment, a woman's head slowly emerged from the water.

The woman, with long black hair and a pale and beautiful face, carried a hint of coldness.

Her large eyes swept over the water surface, and she immediately burst into rage.

"Who, who ate my fish? My breakfast?"

After her anger subsided, she hesitated for a moment, then her head abruptly morphed, turning into a huge fish head. She opened her massive mouth and took a powerful suction, causing the water for dozens of meters around to flow towards her mouth, bringing along the floating dead fish.

Those dead fish entered her mouth, and after a few casual chews, she swallowed them whole.
