Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 637 - 638: The King's Road to Freedom (6 updates)

(To be reasonable, this chapter should be the sixth chapter of today, don't believe me? Go check the release time of the previous chapters.)

The previous leader of the Barbarian Tribe was Ah Bao's father.

The resentment of his father's murder has always been a painful spot in Ah Bao's heart, but since the Barbarian Tribe had no capacity to directly and forcefully confront David, coupled with the need for Crystal Stone Mines to continue developing the tribe, Ah Bao has endured this hatred all along.

However, this hatred could easily be provoked and burst forth.

For example, robbing mines, killing miners, and blowing up the mine shafts, all these actions hide behind Ah Bao's desire for revenge.

Now, Tanaka Jiao once again stoked the desire in Ah Bao's heart:

To confront David and avenge his father!

Upon seeing Ah Bao's heart waver, Amu immediately incited:

"Chief Ah Bao, your father was killed in that attack many years ago because he was protecting the tribe's children and women at that time,

how great was the old chief!

This time, we will move the women, children, and the elderly into the deep mountains and forests, to places where David cannot find them. Dozens of our young and strong will form a Revenge Team, and we can definitely confront David."

Tanaka Jiao nodded and said:

"If David wants to keep his base, he has to submit to us and give us fifty kilograms of Crystal Stones every month, or else, we will kill his miners and destroy his mines, which will cost him even more,

We must have the determination to sink the boat, the shoeless fear the shod not!

I believe, under the great, glorious, and wise leadership of Chief Ah Bao, we will certainly defeat David, drive away the invaders, avenge the old chief, and achieve our victory!

Chief Ah Bao will also become the great hero forever admired by our tribe!"

Ah Bao: "@#￥%"

Amu: "@#￥%"

Damn, that's some serious sweet-talking!

Although Ah Bao's Barbarian Tribe had some barbarians with relatively high Genetic Evolution Levels and formidable Combat Power, they were quite average in terms of cunning schemes and strategic combat skills.

Now, they've encountered the people from Ice Wolf Island like Tanaka Jiao, and it was like a strong brute suddenly getting a boost in intelligence, with a significantly increased lethality.

That very night, they attacked a mine, with a strategy of quick battle and quick decisions.

First, they destroyed the surveillance equipment around the mine, then charged directly into the mine shaft and killed more than a dozen miners, leaving a few to communicate the message.

Before leaving, they also blew up a mine shaft.

By the time David's Spaceship arrived overnight, they had already fled to the nearby forests, disappearing without a trace.

The surviving miners were almost scared out of their wits, they told David and others,

"Those barbarians said to give fifty kilograms of Crystal Stones every month, otherwise, they will continue to kill miners and blow up mines. They want you to leave fifty kilograms of stones at this mine in three days, otherwise, they will continue to kill and blow up mines. If you dare catch any of them, they will retaliate even more fiercely."

"Damn it!"

David stomped his foot in anger after hearing this.

A new crack appeared on the hard purple ground under his foot, extending ten meters away.

David rushed back to the base overnight, calling a meeting to prepare for Ah Bao's provocation.

But in the end, someone pointed out the essence of the problem.

"Stationmaster sir, years ago when you declared war on the Barbarian Tribe, we only had 8 mines, manpower was relatively concentrated, and it was relatively easy to protect the miners,

but now, we have twenty mines, hundreds of mine shafts, but our guards and management staff have not increased significantly. All this is the result of years of peaceful coexistence with the Barbarian Tribe,

If we go to war with the Barbarian Tribe now, to be honest, we are not prepared, nor do we have the advantage,

The Barbarians are in the dark, we are in the light, they can mobilize and attack us at any time, and we are indefensible. Our military force, spread out to protect twenty mines, is just not possible. If we focus our defense on just a few mines, then those undefended mines will be controlled and exploited by the Barbarians,

Although the Barbarians are now demanding fifty kilograms of Crystal Stones per month, compared to the several hundred kilograms we mine every day, we still profit,

"Once the war starts, we might not have a single crystal stone every day!"

David understood this logic too; it was just that his pride was hard to swallow.

Calling this meeting was also to brainstorm and seek strategies to cope.

In the end, David chose to compromise.

"Fine, we'll temporarily compromise and give Ah Bao 50 kilograms of crystal stones, huh, just wait until I go to the Go tournament in a few days, then I'll casually recruit a hundred mercenaries from Colonial City. This time, I swear I'll completely exterminate the savage tribe and rid us of this problem for good."

Three days later, Ah Bao really did receive fifty kilograms of Purple Origin Crystal Stones and was overjoyed.

That night, the savage tribe held a victory bonfire celebration, and this time, Tanaka Jiao and a few others were honored as guests.

"Tanaka Jiao, well done, your idea was good this time, you helped us hit David's arrogance hard, come, eat some meat."

Ah Bao handed a big chunk of roasted meat to Tanaka Jiao.

Tanaka Jiao took the roasted meat and kept saying thanks.

"Heh, Tanaka Jiao, you wanted to taste meat from beasts fed with crystal stones, right? The piece of meat in your hands is exactly that, try it, what does it taste like?"

Tanaka was startled, looking at the roughly 2-kilogram piece of meat in his hands which looked no different from ordinary roasted meat.

Bringing it to his mouth and biting gently,

As soon as the meat entered his mouth, he chewed only a few times before a strong burst of electricity exploded, flowing into his body like a spring without end for a long time.

Tanaka Jiao was tasting meat from animals fed with crystal stones for the first time, and he was utterly amazed—the energy contained in this monster meat was more than ten times that of ordinary monsters.

Seeing Tanaka Jiao's surprised expression, Ah Bao laughed heartily, stood up, pulled Tanaka Jiao to the center of the tribe's people, and said loudly:

"Everyone, our ability to defeat David this time and make him concede, contributing 50 kilograms of Purple Origin Crystal Stones to us every month, is all thanks to this friend's merit.

His name is Tanaka Jiao, coming from the faraway Earth, once a miner under David, unable to bear the torment of fate, rose in rebellion, and bravely fled from David's mines,

Now, he has come to our tribe and is helping us resist David's aggression,

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of interstellar service, of crossing the stars to serve us!

I declare, from today onwards, Tanaka Jiao is one of our tribespeople and also my deputy."

"Ah?"

Tanaka Jiao was shocked, he certainly didn't expect Ah Bao to announce him as the tribe leader's deputy in public, nor did he think that Ah Bao was also a master of bluffing.

This was truly unexpected.

But Ah Bao knew very well inside that savages possessed little wisdom, knew only straightforward battles and bloodshed, and lacked cunning individuals like Tanaka Jiao.

Bringing Tanaka Jiao into the savage tribe was definitely advantageous.

...

Yang Xiao and the others had stayed on the cliffside boulders for three days.

That evening, everyone was eating oranges while admiring the stars in the sky.

"Alas, in a couple of days we'll have to return to the mines, back to that life of dizziness from dawn till dusk underground, I really don't want to leave this peaceful life."

"What do you guys say, if we break away from the mine and establish our own tribe, can we?"

"Stop dreaming, being trapped here all the time, with nowhere to go, that's no fun either."

Yang Xiao lay on the rock, looked at the bright stars overhead, and said faintly:

"For now, we rely on David, striving to get our identity documents soon and become official citizens of Witch Star—that's the royal road to our freedom. Everything else is a dead end!"
