Super Gene Hunting Ground

Black Wood personally led a team of guards, venturing deep into the Dark Forest outside the city to capture an Empire Level Realm Black Bear and a Monkey Demon Beast.

The two demon beasts had now transformed into human figures, retaining some beastly traits, and were escorted by Black Wood to the City Lord Mansion.

"Boss, I’ve caught two demon beasts, you might want to interrogate them."

Yang Xiao nodded, looking at the two demon beasts in human form, he said:

"I want to negotiate with your Lord; can you tell me where the Lord is?"

The Black Bear in human form chuckled darkly,

"You want me to betray the Lord? Dream on, we demon beasts and humans are irreconcilable."

Yang Xiao smiled and addressed the Monkey in human form,

"How about you? Do you know where the Lord is? Rest assured, I just want to negotiate with your Lord to discuss ways for peaceful coexistence in the future. Lead me to them; I’ll talk to your Lord personally."

The Monkey in human form gave a sly smile, revealing yellow teeth,

"Heh, you humans are sly and brutal; I won’t fall for your schemes."

Yang Xiao glanced at Black Wood, who spread his hands and said,

"Demon beasts are always loyal to their Lords; even if you kill them, they won’t talk."

"Is that so?"

Yang Xiao smiled faintly and took a longsword from a guard beside him, pointing it at the two demon beasts,

"If you don’t talk, I’ll kill you."

"Heh heh, kill away. You humans have slaughtered countless of our kind; I will never give in."

"Even if you kill us all, we will never reveal the Lord’s whereabouts."

The two demon beasts exhibited a righteous and heroic demeanor.

Yang Xiao looked at the Black Bear, speaking coldly,

"I refuse to believe in your defiance today. If you don’t tell me by the time I count to three, I’ll chop off your hand. One, two..."

"Filthy human, go ahead and kill me. I will be reborn a hero in ten years."

"Three,"

Yang Xiao counted to three, his sword rose and fell, followed by a painful scream from the Black Bear, whose left hand was severed by Yang Xiao, splattering blood everywhere as it wailed in agony.

"Will you talk now? If you don’t, I’ll chop off your right hand."

The Black Bear Demon Beast gritted its teeth, glaring at Yang Xiao, roaring furiously,

"Even if you kill me, I will never betray the Lord. Go ahead and kill me!"

"Damn, such unwavering resolve?"

Yang Xiao once again raised his sword, chopping off the beast’s right hand, resulting in another anguished scream from the Black Bear Demon Beast, making it appear extremely miserable.

Nearby, the Monkey Demon Beast’s face turned pale, shivering in fear.

Yang Xiao questioned it,

"Do you want one last chance? If you don’t talk, I’ll kill you and take your Crystal Core."

However, the Black Bear Demon Beast remained resolute,

"No, I would rather die than tell you. We demon beasts have our pride, heh... go ahead and kill me if you wish!"

"Crunch!"

Yang Xiao cleaved off the Black Bear Demon Beast’s head with one swing, causing it to immediately revert to its beast form, falling lifelessly to the ground.

Yang Xiao glanced at the nearby Monkey Demon Beast, speaking coldly,

"Will you talk or not?"

The blood-stained longsword pointed at the Monkey Demon Beast.

The Monkey Demon Beast quivered, facing Yang Xiao’s intimidating and cold gaze; it finally collapsed onto the ground, wetting itself in terror.

Black Wood cried out from the side,

"Damn, scared into wetting itself?"

The Monkey Demon Beast sat limp on the ground, staring in horror at Yang Xiao’s sword. Beside it lay the Black Bear Demon Beast’s corpse, surrounded by blood.

Yang Xiao spoke coldly,

"You can resist as fiercely as the Black Bear Demon Beast did, but then my sword will simply sever your head as well,

If you don’t tell me, that’s fine. I’ll just go to the forest, capture the demon beasts one by one, and decapitate them until someone is willing to talk.

I’m counting to three, one, two..."

Yang Xiao raised his longsword again, readying to slash down at the Monkey Demon Beast.

"I’ll tell you!"

The Monkey Demon Beast shouted hastily in terror.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, looking at it.

"But if I tell you, I won’t survive; other demon beasts will treat me as a traitor and devour me alive."

"Rest assured, I don’t intend to kill your demon beast lord; I want to negotiate and end our battle with demon beasts. From now on, let’s coexist peacefully, no longer invading each other, becoming good friends and neighbors,

If you assist me in accomplishing this, you’ll be a hero among the demon beasts, and your companions won’t harm you; they’ll be grateful to you instead."

"Do you truly mean that? I...I can’t believe it!"

The Monkey Demon Beast shook its head.

Yang Xiao spoke calmly,

"You can choose to believe me or not, but you can’t choose not to tell me; otherwise, I’ll kill you."

Saying this, he raised his sword again, eyes filled with Killing Aura.

"You keep threatening me; you have no sincerity at all."

"No choice; we can’t establish trust right now. I lack time and patience, so I must use this foolish method. You don’t talk, I’ll kill you. I’m not bluffing; if I kill you, I’ll capture more demon beasts from the forest for interrogation."

The Monkey Demon Beast gritted its teeth and said,

"I’ll tell you, but don’t kill me."

Yang Xiao lowered his longsword.

"Our Lord is a Super Tyrannosaurus."

"A Super Tyrannosaurus? Where does it usually reside? Where’s its lair?"

The Monkey Demon Beast glanced at Yang Xiao, helplessly saying,

"I’m just an ordinary demon beast, with no chance of contacting the Lord Demon Beast, so I don’t know its lair."

"Who knows, then?"

"Our Monkey Elder should know; it’s the head of our pack."

"Take me to meet your Elder."

Hearing this, the Monkey Demon Beast trembled with fear and said,

"If I take you back to meet the Elder, they will tear me apart; that’s not possible."

"I’ll say it again, I’m not here to kill you; I’m here to negotiate. Lead me to meet your Elder; I guarantee they won’t harm you, and I promise that as long as they don’t attack me, I won’t attack them."

"But—"

"There’s no but about it. If you don’t take me, I’ll kill you."

"..."

The next day, after briefing Elder Qi and others, Yang Xiao, along with Black Wood, led two hundred guards into the Dark Forest.

The Monkey Demon Beast, captured yesterday, reluctantly led the way.

"I’ll say it again; within an hour, if you don’t lead us to your Monkey Demon Beast base, I’ll kill you and find it directly."

"Human, you can’t be dishonest; I told you about the Lord Demon Beast yesterday, and you promised not to kill me."

"Your information yesterday was worthless. I need to meet your Lord. I’ll tell you again; I’m not hunting them down; I wish to negotiate with your demon beasts so that in the future, around my city, we coexist peacefully without killing each other. Isn’t that good?"

The Monkey Demon Beast paused for a moment, saying to Yang Xiao,

"What you say sounds good, but I still don’t trust you."

"You just need to trust my sword. I’ll keep my word; if we don’t find your Monkey territory in an hour, I’ll kill you."

"..."

The Monkey Demon Beast felt anxious within; it didn’t know why, but it started mildly trusting Yang Xiao; it could even feel the sincerity in Yang Xiao’s words, a strange sensation.

Under Yang Xiao’s threat, the Monkey Demon Beast led Yang Xiao and his group into a valley within the Dark Forest.

The Monkey Demon Beast pointed ahead, saying uneasily,

"Human leader, ahead is our Monkey Demon Beast base; you said you wouldn’t harm them."

"Don’t worry; as long as they don’t attack me, I won’t harm them."

Yang Xiao finished speaking, addressing the surrounding guards,

"Everyone, listen up. Just maintain defense; do not attack any demon beast for now, understood?"

"Yes, Boss, understood."

The group marched on through the Dark Forest for approximately another two kilometers when suddenly, cries rang out ahead, and hundreds of black shadows descended from hundred-meter-tall trees, blocking Yang Xiao’s path.

"Roar, humans, stop!"

Yang Xiao looked up, seeing a majestic five-meter-tall Monkey standing ahead, backed by hundreds of Monkey Demon Beasts.
