Super Gene Hunting Ground

”Gurgle,” Yang Xiao hastily took a sip of water and was suddenly startled, immediately drawing out the Bronze Divine Sword and slashing towards his feet.

The Bronze Divine Sword was strangely eerie; with one swing, the killing aura surged, automatically parting the water beneath him.

Hiss,

Yang Xiao felt as if the Longsword in his hand had slashed through the body of the Monster, and then he immediately felt his feet loosen, and his whole body started to float towards the water’s surface.

Once Yang Xiao surfaced, he immediately saw that the surrounding waters had turned blood-red, guessing that the fish that had bitten his foot had been slain by his sword. Even if it hadn’t died, its body would have been split open by the Longsword, hence the blood flowing continuously and dyeing this area of water red.

At this moment, Yang Xiao saw a wave suddenly appear in the distance on the water’s surface, and a black fin about a meter high emerged, swimming rapidly towards him.

Still in shock, he saw dozens of similar black fins emerge in the distance, converging towards him, and in the far distance, he saw a giant fish leap out of the water, stirring up several meters high waves.

”Damn it, not good, the bloody scent of the fish has attracted all the surrounding Monsters, this is a sign of impending disaster!”

Just then, there was a loud splash beside Yang Xiao, and a head burst out of the water.

It was Du Tianxing.

Seeing Yang Xiao, Du Tianxing exclaimed with surprise:

”Yang Xiao, you’re still here? Eh, why is the water red here, and why is there a smell of blood?”

”I just killed a fish,”

he said, pointing towards the distance.

Du Tianxing’s face changed dramatically,

”Yang Xiao, you still hold a grudge against me, huh? Are you trying to set up the Monsters in the pond to kill me?”

”Stop talking nonsense, hurry and jump out of the water, use your Floating Flight Skill, don’t go for now, help any others who come up, and if you see a fish coming, hack it with your sword.”

Having said that, Yang Xiao slapped the water with both hands and propelled himself into the air.

At this critical moment, the Qinggong of the Shenming Mountain Sect proved its worth.

Mid-air, Yang Xiao turned around and charged towards a giant fish showing its fin, the Bronze Divine Sword harshly slashing across the fish’s back.

With a loud splash, the giant fish under the water struggled violently, stirring up several meters of high water spray.

Yang Xiao couldn’t be bothered with its life or death, stepped on the fish’s back and once again soared upwards, rushing towards another giant fish.

By Yang Xiao’s estimation, these pond giants were at least seven or eight meters long, and the fins breaking the surface were like steel Longswords, extraordinarily sharp.

The giant fish that Yang Xiao had slashed across its back just now hadn’t died immediately but, with the wound, immediately fled elsewhere, leaving behind a long blood trail on the surface of the water.

At this moment, Yang Xiao repeated his technique, once again injuring another giant fish which, severely wounded, quickly turned and fled, also leaving behind a long wave of blood.

Yang Xiao kept tumbling and attacking in the pond, wounding five or six giant fish in a short time. These injured giant fish frantically fled in all directions, and soon several dozen meters of bloody waves appeared in the entire pond.

Those various Monsters in the water that were attracted by the smell of blood began chasing after these wounded giant fish.

The pond was full of splashing waves and noises, and it suddenly became a slaughtering battlefield.

Du Tianxing had now leaped out of the water, using his Floating Flight Skill to hover in mid-air, witnessing everything Yang Xiao had just performed. He was stunned and deeply impressed in his heart.

With a ”splash” sound,

Chi Lin emerged from the water, gasping for breath,

”Ah, ah, ah... Fuck, why is the water all red, fuck, so many fish, now I’m definitely done for,”

Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled up out of the water by Du Tianxing who was above him.

Yang Xiao continued to slay several giant fish whose fins broke the water’s surface, then fiercely stepped on the back fin of one fish, using it to vault into the air and fly towards the distant shore of the pond.

”I can’t hold on any longer, hurry up!”

Yang Xiao had not evolved to King Level, so Divine Mountain Light Skill required support to perform Floating Flight, with short air time, unlike Du Tian and the others, who possessed the innate Floating Flight Skill, allowing them to remain airborne for an extended time.

The entire pond had turned into a slaughterhouse, and the thick scent of blood virtually activated all sorts of monsters in the pond, with water churning everywhere; the scene was extremely gruesome.

However, this provided great safety for the people emerging from the water behind, as the various monstrous fish in the water had lost interest in pursuing them and could not even trace their scent or sense their movements anymore.

Old Nine, Feng Ming and others surfaced one after another, inevitably swallowing a few mouthfuls of pond water, and when they saw that the whole pond had turned into a crimson bloodbath, everyone was shocked.

In the air above the water, others helped pull everyone out, and everyone made it with close calls.

Occasionally, when one or two giant fish passed by them, they were killed by Du Tianxing and others, who then quickly fled.

The last one to surface was Gu Beifeng; by this time, aside from Du Tianxing, Chi Lin, and a few others above the water, the rest had already flown to the shore about five or six hundred meters away, standing together with Yang Xiao.

”Holy fuck!”

Gu Beifeng emerged and saw the crimson pond water, heard the sounds of ferocious waves from the combat all around, and was utterly stunned.

Du Tianxing pulled him out of the water, and together they flew toward the shore.

It was now around one o’clock in the afternoon, and the entire escape process had taken almost half an hour. Fortunately, everyone had managed to escape safely.

Now together, they embraced and comforted each other, weeping with relief.

For them, experiencing life and death had brought them closer and deepened their bonds.

Yang Xiao asked:

”Gu Beifeng, what was the water level like in the mining pit when you left?”

”If I hadn’t come out, I would have been drowned inside. After you enlarged the entrance, the water level inside surged. When I came out, the water inside the mine had backflooded to one-third of the escape tunnel.”

Yang Xiao nodded, wondering why it seemed easier for those behind him to surface.

Just as Feng Ming had said, the water level in the mine had risen, which increased the air pressure inside the entire escape tunnel, pushing back toward the tunnel entrance, greatly reducing the water pressure.

”Yang Xiao, what should we do next?”

Yang Xiao looked around; the pond was a narrow rectangle, about 4 or 5 kilometers long, maybe even longer as he couldn’t see the far end.

The width of the pond was around 2 kilometers with a depth of at least twenty or thirty meters.

No wonder Feng Ming said ten mines couldn’t drain all the water here.

They were a few hundred meters away from the mines.

Now, the battle in the pond was getting more intense, the color of the water turning from a faint red to a dense, bright red. This strong scent of blood violently stimulated the various Mutant Monsters in the pond to come out and scramble for food.

Various foes now chased after one another, unfolding into a massive melee.
