Super Gene Hunting Ground

After trekking through the jungle for half an hour, Yang Xiao and his companions gradually separated from other classmates and completely entered a new area.

”Roar!”

An earth-shattering roar shook the forest,

”Crack, crack.....”

The massive trees, dozens of meters tall, snapped and collapsed to both sides.

”Everyone, be careful, it’s a demon beast!”

Yang Xiao shouted, standing at the front of the group, holding the Two-star Divine Weapon, the Broken Rainbow Sword.

Xiao Gang stood by Xiao He’s side,

while Gong Yu, Wang Qian, and Cui Yuan stood by Yang Xiao.

A giant elephant, over twenty meters tall, surrounded by a layer of golden Defense Light Screen, charged straight towards Yang Xiao, like a tall building.

As it moved, the surrounding trees were naturally pushed aside by it.

Gong Yu and the others were stunned, exclaiming:

”Damn, Yang Xiao, this giant elephant is at the Empire Middle Level, and its Defense is extremely strong; it’s not easy to deal with.”

Demon beasts, due to their enormous size and tremendous strength, often possess greater Combat Power than humans of the same Level.

This type of giant elephant demon beast has another feature, which is that the Defense Value of its golden Defense Light Screen is much higher than that of ordinary demon beasts, a natural trait.

The giant elephant stopped tens of meters away from Yang Xiao and the others, gave them a glance, raised its head, and roared. Its enormous trunk swung fiercely, bringing forth a killing aura, and attacked.

Knowing its power, the three of Gong Yu instantly flew backward.

Xiao He let out a loud shout, slicing through the air with a silver Longsword as he leaped in front of Yang Xiao.

Xiao Gang also roared, swinging a massive hammer attached to a long iron chain towards the giant trunk.

Xiao Gang hadn’t arrived, but the giant hammer in his hand crossed over Yang Xiao and Xiao He, blocking the front.

”Boom!”

A loud explosion sounded as Xiao Gang’s giant hammer collided with the gigantic trunk.

The giant let out a roar, its massive body retreating three steps backward.

Xiao He used Instantaneous Movement, and with his silver Longsword, pierced through the air towards the golden Defense Light Screen of the giant elephant.

A silver killing aura suddenly surged tens of meters forward,

”Sizzle!”

Striking the golden Defense Light Screen of the giant elephant.

”Snap,” and in an instant, the golden Defense Light Screen of the giant elephant shattered, with the silver killing aura piercing through its body.

The giant elephant let out a screech, its long trunk violently swinging, snapping a tree dozens of meters high with a ”crack.”

”Bang!”

The loud crash sounded as Xiao Gang’s giant hammer slammed into the elephant’s head.

Instantly, a dent was formed on the elephant’s head.

Finally unable to support itself, the giant elephant let out a pitiful cry, and its massive body collapsed to the ground with a loud boom.

Yang Xiao had stood motionless and at this moment, gazing at Xiao He’s back, suddenly felt emotional,

”There are always people stronger than you. I used to look down on Xiao He, but unexpectedly, Xiao He wields a Two-star Divine Weapon.

The Flying Leopard Academy really is full of hidden talents, with many outstanding individuals. Xiao Gang is also not to be underestimated. Judging from the killing aura emanating from his giant hammer, it must be a third-phase Magic Killing Weapon, combined with Xiao Gang’s Empire Level Advanced Cultivation, his Combat Power is formidable.”

Xiao He and Xiao Gang had already sheathed their weapons, standing not far from the fallen giant elephant.

Yang Xiao walked over, saying:

”Your skills are truly impressive and make me admire you greatly, and your bravery makes me feel ashamed!”

Xiao He turned and smiled slightly at Yang Xiao,

”It’s just a small matter, as long as you don’t find us clumsy.”

”Haha, more experts like you would be great.”

Xiao He and Xiao Gang laughed heartily.

Gong Yu and the others ran over, their faces a bit embarrassed, and said:

”Sorry, we couldn’t face this giant elephant; we originally thought Brother Yang would also dodge, but unexpectedly you stood still, and both Xiao brothers charged in, many thanks to both of you.”

Wang Qian also gazed at Xiao He with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

Gong Yu’s candid admission of their fear and shortcomings was understood by Yang Xiao and Xiao He, who didn’t ridicule them, as dodging would indeed be the best tactic against a formidable demon beast.

Cui Yuan said:

”This giant elephant is certainly big, but its meat is unfortunately tough. Otherwise, we could have had a barbecue at noon.”

Everyone laughed and said:

”Wanting barbecue is easy, with so many demon beasts in this forest, just grab any.

Gong Yu walked over with a Longsword, slicing several times to open the elephant’s head, retrieving a transparent, fist-sized crystal ball.

”What is this?” Yang Xiao asked.

”Yang Xiao, don’t you know? This is the brain crystal of a demon beast; all demon beasts above the Empire Level Realm have one.”

”Does it have any use?”

”It’s mainly proof that we’ve killed an Empire Middle Level giant elephant; it also can be used for crafting Magic Weapons. The Genetic Store buys them for money, and so do Blacksmith Shops, for a good price.”

Yang Xiao chuckled:

”Alright, you will be in charge of keeping all the brain crystals from our prey. Let’s see if we can take first place and get that Dragon Slayer Sword from the academy.”

Wang Qian laughed and said:

”I initially thought we didn’t have any hope, but now, with Master’s Xiao top experts, I feel there’s still hope.”

Xiao He laughed and replied:

”Miss Wang Qian, you’re flattering us. We wouldn’t dare take on the giant elephant without this Two-star Divine Weapon. The top ten super experts on the combat leaderboard at the academy can’t be challenged with just a Two-star Divine Sword.”

Yang Xiao was taken aback and asked:

”Why do you say so? Aren’t Two-star Divine Weapons capable of instantly killing any beast below the Emperor Level Realm?”

”That’s what they say, but super experts at the Empire Level Advanced realm can kill from a hundred meters away with their own Combat Power. Their speed is incredibly fast, extremely Agile, and they won’t stand there like a block of wood waiting for you to kill them.

Two-star Divine Weapons in our hands can release killing auroras of up to a hundred meters, but the further the distance, the weaker the intensity. To kill a super expert of the Empire Level Advanced realm, we’d have to be within thirty meters or so to have a chance, and there’s no way they’d let us get that close.”

Yang Xiao thought about it and agreed. He once killed a super expert of the Advanced Realm on Purple Origin Star, but the situation was unique as the opponent was surrounded, allowing Yang Xiao to take them by surprise and strike with a close attack.

The killing aura of a Two-star Divine Weapon is indeed powerful, but if a super expert at the Empire Level Advanced realm is aware and evades, it can be very troublesome to kill them.

Yang Xiao glanced at the massive elephant carcass on the ground and said:

”I’ll take the corpse for now.”

With that, Yang Xiao stored the elephant’s carcass in his Space Ring, then transferred it into that mysterious Black Bottle.

He hadn’t used the Black Bottle for a long time. Yang Xiao had now encountered a Genetic Evolution Bottleneck, which couldn’t be overcome by simply taking a Genetic Potion. He needed to improve his own genes, enhance his Genetic Evolution Space, and the liquid refined from demon beast carcasses in that mysterious bottle, fortunately, had the effect of enhancing body genes.

Xiao He looked at Yang Xiao and asked:

”What are you going to do with the giant elephant’s body?”

”Oh, I’ve learned an alchemy skill that requires the bones and flesh of various demon beasts. I think its tusks and flesh might be useful in the future, so I’ll hold onto it first.”

Xiao He nodded and didn’t ask further questions.

On Witch Star, alchemy is a common practice that many people know to some extent, and there are professional alchemists.

The group continued onward, but due to the giant elephant’s attack earlier, everyone proceeded more cautiously.

At this moment, under a large tree behind Yang Xiao and the others, Fan Ni watched their retreating figures with a trace of seriousness on his face.

”Who are these two? One has a Two-star Divine Weapon, and the other’s Genetic Evolution Realm is already at the Empire Level Advanced. This makes it difficult to kill Yang Xiao in front of them.”

Fan Ni decided to continue following Yang Xiao and the others, waiting for an opportunity when Yang Xiao is alone to strike unexpectedly and assassinate him.
