Super Gene Hunting Ground

Elder Qi already placed spies in Shuize City, Firebird City, and Cold Wind Valley.

When the City Lords of the three cities met secretly at Shuize City for negotiations, the intelligence personnel immediately relayed the information back to the City of Hope.

"Lord Yang, what should we do? The alliance between these three City Lords, plus the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, will be hard for us to deal with!"

Hei Mi and the others listened and felt quite tense, everyone looked towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly and said,

"It’s just an alliance of three City Lords, what is there to fear? Elder Qi, have the spies carefully inquire about their detailed arrangements so we can think of ways to counter them."

"I’ve already ordered my subordinates to monitor the movements of the three cities closely. If there are any new developments, they will report immediately."

"Hei Mi, leave only five hundred guards to defend Titan City, and transfer the rest to the City of Hope. We need to concentrate our strength to withstand the joint attack from the other side."

"Alright, I’ll go today to transfer the guards from Titan City."

"Wanyan Bai, Fan Chen, Chen Peng, Le Ting, Flying Tiger, you will need to work hard these days and join Elder Qi and Hei Mi to form a joint defense group. Rotate around the clock, guarding the safety of the City of Hope.

Arrange more outposts within a hundred kilometers of the city, so we can get early warning if the enemy attacks us.

Starting today, the defense light screen system of the city will be activated 24 hours a day, the construction of the new city will remain unchanged, and all activities within the city will proceed as usual.

Additionally, Chen Peng is responsible for checking among the citizens to organize temporarily a team of those above Empire Level Realm, and see how many there are."

Everyone took their orders and went to arrange their respective tasks. Yang Xiao unfolded a 3D map to look at the approximate locations of the several cities.

Whether it is the City of Hope, Titan City, Shuize City, Cold Wind Valley, or Firebird City, the outskirts of the cities were vast, endless Primitive Forests.

In these forests and valleys, a large number of various Demon Beasts are active.

In the Central Continent, the true rulers are not humans but the massive numbers of Demon Beasts.

Humans have only built some castles across the vast Dark Forest, utilizing defense light screen systems, along with plenty of guards to resist attacks from surrounding Demon Beasts.

Earlier, Elder Qi had gathered information about the various castles and power organizations in the Central Continent and reported it to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked again at the data on Shuize City, Cold Wind Valley, and Firebird City, he scanned it briefly and fell into contemplation.

The population of these cities is about five hundred thousand, generally staffed by one City Lord and a Deputy City Lord, or a Chief of Guards, both of whom are Emperor Level Transcendent Realm, while the rest of the guards are typically Empire Level Realm cultivation.

Empire Level Realm Evolvers are completely fearless of traditional firearms and cannon attacks, therefore, neither Witch Star nor Dwarf Star have developed weapons similar to Earth’s black powder; instead, they’ve adopted high-energy laser weapons.

In battles between Evolvers, besides the difference in levels and combat power among genetic evolvers, another factor influencing the battle is the defensive attack arrays set by Rune Array Masters, such as a city’s defense light screen, which stops some people from entering, depending on the energy level.

There are also active attack arrays, like the Heavenly Punishment Sword Formation at Witch Star Mingluo City.

Additionally, magic attack weapons and Divine Weapons also have considerable enhancement effects, boosting one’s combat abilities.

Yang Xiao calculated the comparison in combat power between the two sides; in numbers, he feels at a disadvantage.

In terms of leading Emperor Level Transcendent Experts, his side has four Emperor Level experts; the opponent should have six to eight.

"Damn it, if it’s a direct confrontation, it’ll absolutely be mutual destruction, how can we counterstrike the enemy?"

Yang Xiao was momentarily mired in concern.

He casually touched the Space Ring in his hand and checked its contents.

First off, there was only one Divine Weapon left, the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer. Though this weapon can increase his attack damage, it mainly works in head-to-head duels. In large-scale group battles, its damage is limited.

Yang Xiao’s Divine Sense casually scanned the Space Ring and suddenly perceived an item; inside the Space Ring were two porcelain bottles containing hundreds of Blessing Pills.

These were initially refined based on the genetic cultivation technique left by predecessors on Purple Origin Star, and they possess miraculous enhancement effects.

"Back on Purple Origin Star, I relied on these Blessing Pills to control many Demon Beasts in the forest. I wonder if they would be effective in this Dark Forest?

If I can control some of the Demon Beasts in the Dark Forest to serve my purpose, dealing with Eight-clawed Lady’s alliance would certainly pose no problem."

Yang Xiao found Hei Mi,

"Hei Mi, do the Demon Beasts in the Dark Forest outside the city have Lords?"

Hei Mi was taken aback and replied,

"Of course they do, many Demon Beast leaders inhabit the Dark Forest, each claiming a territory, ruling thousands of their subordinate Demon Beasts.

Boss, why are you asking this?"

"Are you familiar with the Demon Beast Lords in the Dark Forest?"

"Me? Boss, are you joking? Those Demon Beast Lords hide deep in the mountains and rarely come out to war with humans; they’re all beasts above Emperor Level, incredibly powerful. I wouldn’t dare provoke them."

"Just tell me, are there Demon Beast Lords in the Dark Forest near the City of Hope, and how can I find them?"

"You?"

Hei Mi looked at Yang Xiao, stunned for a long time, then said,

"There are indeed, Boss, you want to find Demon Beast Lords?"

"That’s right, I want to negotiate with Demon Beast Lords, let them help me against Eight-clawed Lady’s alliance army. If I can get help from the Demon Beast Lords, defeating the alliance of Eight-clawed Lady would be effortless."

Hei Mi looked at Yang Xiao in surprise, confirming he was serious, and then suddenly burst into a laugh.

"Hei Mi, why are you laughing?"

"Boss, you have quite the imagination, asking Demon Beasts to help you fight. This is the first time I’ve heard of it. We usually hunt Demon Beasts to get Crystal Cores; they hate us humans to the core, and now you want Demon Beasts to help us? Isn’t this wild thinking?

This is absolutely impossible. I advise you not to entertain this idea."

"You haven’t tried, so how do you know it won’t work? Back then, when I said I would annex Titan City, Elder Qi and the others didn’t believe me."

Hei Mi: "..."

Holy crap, always rubbing salt in the wound, sticking a knife right into my heart!

Hei Mi responded with an embarrassed and wry smile, saying,

"Boss, are you really sure you want to ask Demon Beasts for help?"

"Yes, but the problem is, how do I find the Demon Beast Lords?"

Hei Mi thought for a moment, then replied,

"Finding them is not difficult, first capture two Empire Level Demon Beasts and ask, then we’ll find out."
