Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The List of Observers
Yang Xiao stepped out of the Genetic Store, summoned the Giant Eagle, and both he and Ben Yin leaped onto the Giant Eagle’s back.
With a long cry, the Giant Eagle soared into the sky, leaving dozens of onlookers on the ground staring dumbfounded.
It was only after the figure of the Giant Eagle had vanished into mid-air that these people came to their senses.
"Quick, hurry to Xiangfan City and notify Brother Dong and Sister Ling!"
Two guards hurriedly ran to a nearby Transmission Array to depart.
The shopkeeper of the Genetic Store at the entrance of Shenlongjia Scenic Area is called Gu Lin, and it was his casual remark that gave Yang Xiao a vague sense of unease.
There’s an old saying: The bird that sticks its head out gets shot, and Yang Xiao certainly did not want to be that bird.
Yang Xiao had two secrets; one was that his body could directly absorb the flesh and blood of Mutated Creatures to gain the ability for Genetic Evolution, which was different from those in Magic City who had eaten Genetic Evolution Pills; it was an innate ability he possessed, while people like Gong Yu gained Acquired Evolutionary Ability after consuming Genetic Evolution Pills.
If others found out this secret of his body, who knows if the mysterious organization behind the Genetic Store would dissect him for research?
The mere thought was chilling; after all, Yang Xiao’s current Combat Power still fell short compared to the Iron Tower Guards, not to mention against a high-level expert like Master Long.
The other was the mysterious Black Bottle he had obtained by chance, which helped him refine a great amount of Mutated Creatures’ flesh and blood, allowing him not to eat so much meat, and directly absorb the essence to speed up Evolution.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Xiao could achieve rapid Evolution through Genetic Synthesis Potion, but according to the records on his Black Crystal Card, he had not used much Genetic Potion; yet, his Genetic Evolution Level had reached Enhanced Gene Intermediate.
It was Gu Bo from the Genetic Store who had noticed this discrepancy after examining Yang Xiao’s Black Crystal Card usage record.
Furthermore, Yang Xiao’s terrifying Soul Skill and the Beast Soul, which had not been activated for a long time, greatly surprised Gu Bo.
Gu Bo summarized the issues with Yang Xiao and reported them to the Fourth Prince of Magic City, who ordered all Genetic Stores to watch Yang Xiao’s actions and see if he was exchanging a large amount of Genetic Potions directly with Genetic Balls in various places.
Directly exchanging Genetic Balls for Genetic Potion generally would not be recorded, while detailed information is logged only when using the Black Crystal Card.
According to Yang Xiao’s guess, he had now entered the watchlist of the mysterious organization.
In fact, anyone with special abilities in the field of Genetic Evolution that stands out will be added to the watchlist.
Yang Xiao couldn’t even share his concerns with Ben Yin, because he couldn’t reveal to anyone the secret of the Black Bottle.
After returning to Shenlongjia, Yang Xiao and Ben Yin discussed together.
"Yang Xiao, after today’s uproar, the Genetic Stores around Shenlongjia will enhance their guard, they may even encircle and suppress us."
"But they don’t have the capability. If I want to go, I go; if I want to leave, I leave."
"But by doing so, you’ll have to kill many people every time, Amitabha!"
Yang Xiao was taken aback and glanced at Ben Yin, saying:
"This is an apocalyptic world, compassion is useless."
"You are right; perhaps, you could negotiate with the City King of Xiangfan and let him retreat from difficulty, ceasing his pursuit of you."
"Shenlongjia is rich in resources, incomparable to Kongming City. I’ve decided to take down Shenlongjia."
Yang Xiao spoke indifferently while standing on the hillside and gazing into the distance at Shenlongjia forest.
What he was worried about now was having caught the attention of the force behind the Genetic Store; he must improve his Genetic Evolution Level as soon as possible, reaching Enhanced Gene Advanced, so that when facing powerful enemies in the future, he would stand a better chance of winning.
Even if the wild tribes of Shenlongjia could collect ten million Crystal Coins for him, he still needed a resource shortage of sixty to seventy million Crystal Coins to break through to Enhanced Gene Advanced. Initially, he could have used the unified wild tribes to provide Magic Weapons for them to hunt Monsters and slowly accumulate Genetic Balls.
But now, time seemed not to wait for anyone. He didn’t know when the mysterious organization behind the Genetic Store would take action against him, whether they would control him, dissect him for research, or use other means.
He couldn’t be controlled by others; he now had that mysterious Bronze Divine Sword in his possession, and at a critical moment, he could still fight. At the very least, he could hide himself anywhere on this vast Earth, free to come and go.
"After the unification of the wild tribes, we’ll immediately return to Nanmu City to call people over. We’ll take control of a Genetic Store base, then quickly transport the army through the Transmission Array, and confront the City King of Xiangfan. If he doesn’t yield the territory of Shenlongjia, I’ll kill him and seize Xiangfan."
....
Currently, within Xiangfan City, the City King Xue Dong’s brows were tightly knotted, anxiety filled the hall with dozens of people present.
Zhong Cailing said resentfully:
"Brother Dong, this man is so arrogant, he has killed two of our experts again. We must avenge this."
"Yes, it’s simply too presumptuous. Even the City King of Han Capital wouldn’t dare be so arrogant. We need to teach him a lesson, otherwise, he will indeed think we’re weak and can be bullied."
"Indeed, Brother Dong, with so many of us, we have over a dozen High-Level Enhanced Gene individuals. If we join forces, I refuse to believe that we can’t beat just one man?"
"Yes, no matter how powerful he is, if we send a few hundred people in each team, even just spitting on him would be enough to drown him."
....
The hall was filled with righteous indignation, recalling the two incidents where Yang Xiao had killed in Shenlongjia, something they had never faced before.
Xue Dong glanced at everyone, slowly saying:
"The biggest problem right now is that we don’t know the depth of this person, it’s difficult to make a move. Based on the two actions he has taken, his Genetic Evolution level is not below me."
Xue Dong is now at the critical period of breaking through to the King Level Realm, and he is also facing pressure from the City King of Han Capital demanding a merger. His plan was to quietly break through to King Level and then defeat the City King of Han Capital, but he did not expect Yang Xiao to emerge as such a vexing issue.
"Brother Dong, with so many of us, surely we aren’t afraid of just one person? Even if he is at the same Level as you, we shouldn’t fear him! We can’t let such a person wreak havoc in our territory with such impunity, can we? If word of this gets out, won’t it be a laughingstock?"
Zhong Cailing said in a soft voice.
Xue Dong nodded; he knew that in these apocalyptic times, what was revered was martial power. If the provocateurs can’t be suppressed, his authority will come into question.
"Give the order, at the Genetic Store bases around Shenlongjia, dispatch an additional hundred-man team at each place, a Great Captain with High-Level Enhanced Gene, five experts with Intermediate Enhanced Gene, along with several other masters. Equip them with various military forces, and immediately eradicate upon sighting this person."
"Yes, Brother Dong!"
