Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 636 637: See Who's More Ruthless (4 updates)

Yang Xiao took a small sip of the liquid from the Black Bottle.

Upon entering his mouth, a strong sensation of electric current immediately surged through his body, an intensely powerful feeling.

With Yang Xiao's current Genetic Evolution Realm, his ability to absorb and withstand Evolution Energy had also improved significantly. Every few minutes, Yang Xiao would drink another mouthful of the liquid, and after the electric sensation slowly dissipated within his body, he would proceed to the next sip.

About an hour later, Yang Xiao had consumed quite a bit.

He looked at the Black Bottle and saw that there was still plenty left, at least more than half a bottle of the liquid.

Down at the base of the cliff, Du Tianxing and others were already roasting fish, the scent of which could be smelled even from the cliff several tens of meters high.

Gu Beifeng and others had picked quite a few oranges and returned.

Yang Xiao focused his gaze on the Genetic Evolution data system in his mind, first raising Strength from 68 to 69 and then to 70.

"OK, there's still quite a bit of energy left."

Yang Xiao then increased Agility to 69 and 70.

Just as he was prepared to further increase Defense, he discovered that there wasn't enough Evolution Energy left in his body.

Down below the cliff, Gu Beifeng yelled up in a loud voice:

"Yang Xiao, I brought you some oranges. Come down and eat."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to leap down from the cliff, landing near the fire after a few jumps.

Together, they ate roasted fish and oranges, chatting away.

"Yang Xiao, I passed by the pool just now and took a look. There wasn't a single dead fish, how did you manage to find those fish?"

Most of these fish died during the battles yesterday afternoon or evening. The pool water was icy cold, almost like being in a refrigerator, and after a whole night, the fish meat was still very fresh.

"It's impossible. When I went to pick up the fish, I clearly saw many floating on the surface, at least a couple thousand, right?"

Yang Xiao had made use of the Black Bottle earlier in the day, indiscriminately collecting all the Mutant Fish on the water's surface into the bottle.

Later on, he realized there were too many dead fish and decided only to pick up the big ones, leaving the small ones.

When he left the pool, there were still a huge number of small fish about three to four meters in length floating on the surface.

"Seriously, there are no fish left now, it's spotless – not a single one, only the water remains blood-red, with a strong scent of blood."

The few others who went with Gu Beifeng to pick oranges immediately corroborated the story.

Yang Xiao was startled and felt that something odd was happening. Even using that mysterious Black Bottle, he couldn't have picked up all those fish in such a short time. Who the hell could have collected so many fish in a brief period?

After they had eaten, Yang Xiao, with a sense of achievement, went to the vicinity of the pool to take a look. Indeed, not a single small fish was left floating; they had been eaten clean.

"What's going on here? This doesn't make any scientific sense!"

Yang Xiao was inwardly shocked but decided not to say much. After all, he couldn't just mention that he had found many dead fish in the morning, and now there was none left. Who had taken them away?

Yes, who could have taken them away?

Yang Xiao shuddered with a thought. Could it be that someone else, just like him, also possessed a mysterious Black Bottle capable of refining the flesh and blood of Mutant Monsters?

Since he could have such a mysterious treasure, it's probable others could as well, right?

Yang Xiao speculated in his mind for a moment and thus became more at ease about the sudden disappearance of the dead fish.

"Yang Xiao, where shall we go for fun during the day?"

"For fun? We're like a bunch of goats while countless tigers and lions lurk in the surrounding forests. Where could we possibly go for fun? If we encounter some kind of Emperor Level Evolution beast like a double-headed crocodile, we'd be doomed. Better we just stay quietly on this cliff for a few days."

After hearing this, everyone agreed, feeling it made sense. Having just escaped from the grips of death, it was better to stay safe.

So, everyone went to pick a bunch of oranges from a nearby grove and returned to bask in the sun on top of the boulders on the cliff.

Lying on the warm stone slabs, squinting their eyes, eating a couple of orange segments, basking in the warm sunshine, without a thing on their minds, without a care for the houses in the north, east, and west that cost hundreds of thousands per square meter, without worrying about not being able to find a wife at the age of thirty, without considering the looks of the people around them.

"If we didn't have to mine, I'd say this is the life of an Immortal!"

Lao Jiu remarked with emotion.

"Yeah, if possible, we should take over Purple Origin Star and turn it into a colony for Earth. With such a nice environment, it's sure to attract a lot of people to live here."

"That's a good business right there, bound to make money."

"It just got a lot more mundane. Can we not talk about money? We're doing this for the future of humanity."

"Alright, basking in the sun and you guys are letting your imaginations run wild with so many things. Just think about how to survive these three years and get the identity card for Witch Star."

"Yeah, return to Earth? That's probably never going to happen in this lifetime!"

....

While Yang Xiao and the others were lying on the rocks soaking up the sun and sighing about life, within the tribe of savages, Ah Bao and others were convening a tribal meeting.

The day before yesterday was a mess all night, not only did we fail to capture a single Miner, but the savage Ah Mu also had a hand chopped off. Ah Bao felt that this operation was highly unsuccessful.

"We blew up one of their mines this time, it's been several years since we last blew up a mine of David Base, and I bet they will seek revenge on us. What should we do next?"

Ah Bao spoke up.

As the tribal chief, he felt some concern after impulsively smashing David's mine.

Years ago, this savage tribe also destroyed a mine of David's, which enraged David. He mobilized all his guards to hunt the tribe in the mountains, killing the tribal chief at the time. It was only after this that David felt his anger was appeased and he stopped the pursuit.

It wasn't that David didn't want to continue the pursuit, but the cost was too high. Not to mention the loss from halting operations, within the jungle, several of David's soldiers would die fighting Monsters every day. Over time, even he couldn't bear the loss.

"Don't be afraid, Chief Ah Bao, we can hide deep in the mountains, what can David do to us?"

"If he dares to chase us like last time, we'll just smash his mines again and kill his Miners."

...

The savages debated for half a day but seemed to have come up with no clear response strategy or action plan.

Tanaka Jiao thought to himself, what a group of pig-like savages, with such low intelligence, no wonder they can't defend their own planet.

"Cough,"

Tanaka Jiao gave a light cough,

"Chief Ah Bao, may I say a few words?"

"You shut up, if it wasn't for your bad idea, would I be in such a passive position now?

Dissolving Crystal Stone Powder in water to breed a large number of Mutant Monsters sounded like a good plan, but in reality, it's impractical. Where do we get so many Crystal Stones?

Ever since listening to you, we've been robbing mines, look how miserable we've made ourselves!

I really regret that I even listened to you!"

Ah Bao was furious, venting all his bile on Tanaka Jiao and also shifting the blame for the failed operation onto him.

Tanaka Jiao was extremely frustrated, thinking he can't carry this blame, but if not him, then who?

He wanted to say something in his defense but, seeing Ah Bao's angry face, he lowered his head.

He knew that Ah Bao, the savage, was unpredictable, and if he angered him at this time, it would be a great loss to be killed by him.

Ah Mu then said,

"Chief Ah Bao, this incident was purely accidental. Our robberies of other mines were all very smooth, it's just this mine where we encountered an accident. No one expected those Earth pigs to dig a tunnel inside the mine shaft. I think those Miners must have died in there as well, they couldn't possibly escape."

Ah Mu still resented Yang Xiao for severing his arm, so he's obviously using Tanaka Jiao's strategy against the miners.

After Ah Mu finished speaking, he turned to Tanaka Jiao and said:

"Tanaka Foot, what do you want to say? Speak."

Tanaka Jiao bowed with his hands clasped towards Ah Bao and Ah Mu, saying:

"I think, at this point, we should go all in, persist to the end, kill their Miners overnight and force Station Manager David to actively seek peace with us."

"What? Kill more Miners?"

Ah Bao was shocked, looking at Tanaka Jiao.

"Yes, at this time it's about who is more ruthless,

We are in the dark, they are in the open, we control when and where to attack,

As long as we don't back down, there is no reason for David not to admit defeat,

Tonight we will kill workers at another mine, and then leave a message for David, demanding he give us fifty kilograms of Crystal Stones every ten days or half a month, or else, we will keep killing, until all his Miners are dead."

"You, are you crazy?"

Ah Bao looked at Tanaka Jiao, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Tanaka Jiao was far more ruthless than he had imagined.

On the side, Ah Mu supported:

"Chief Ah Bao, I think what Tanaka Foot says is right, we have to be ruthless, only this way, will David be afraid of us."

Tanaka Jiao then said:

"We can evacuate the children, women, and elders of the tribe to a hidden place deep in the mountains, leaving only our strong and elite fighters. We can fight everywhere, making David guard against the unforeseen,

Victory will surely belong to our great savage tribe, to our great Chief Ah Bao!"

Tanaka Jiao capped his speech with high praise for Ah Bao.
