Super Gene Hunting Ground

Three days later, Yang Xiao, Elder Qi, and more than a hundred others organized into three hunting teams, preparing to leave the city for a hunt.

Wanyan Bai hurriedly came running,

"Elder Qi, Young Master Yang, the City Lord Da E has left the City Lord Mansion with a hundred guard teams and is heading out of the city."

Elder Qi glanced at Yang Xiao,

"Young Master Yang, are you sure? If we can’t kill Da E in this battle, everyone we have left in Death Castle will be wiped out."

Yang Xiao nodded,

"I have considered it. Brother Bai, once you confirm the hunting area of City Lord Da E, head immediately to the Dark Forest Valley. Take this Jade Token and find Fan Chen, have him bring twenty warships and fifty guards over to assist us."

Wanyan Bai, hearing this, was pleasantly surprised,

"If we have twenty warships assisting, dealing with the guards around Da E should be relatively easy."

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

"When the time comes, I will be responsible for dealing with Da E. Elder Qi, keep the formation steady to prevent Da E from escaping.

Brother Bai, you lead your over a hundred men, join forces with Fan Chen’s twenty warships and fifty guards, and besiege Da E’s subordinates. Remember, don’t let a single person escape."

With the help of the guards brought by Yang Xiao, Wanyan Bai and the others were instantly filled with confidence.

Elder Qi nodded,

"Young Master Yang, when the time comes, I will join you in dealing with Da E, striving to kill him in the shortest time possible."

Yang Xiao and the others divided into three groups and left the city, with scouts pre-positioned along the way to report on City Lord Da E’s whereabouts, and they followed suit.

Every day, more than ten thousand people leave Death Castle to hunt. These people all set out early in the morning and return at night, rarely staying out overnight.

On the way, they saw many hunting teams, and everyone greeted each other briefly before hurrying on their own ways.

Two men in black hurried over,

"Elder Qi, City Lord Da E and his group have flown in the direction of the Giant Crocodile Pond in the Dark Forest."

"Good, we will also head to the Giant Crocodile Pond."

...

The Giant Crocodile Pond is three hundred kilometers deep into the Dark Forest, where a group of super giant crocodiles live, most of which are above the Empire Middle Level realm, with some at the Empire Level Advanced realm, and occasionally an Emperor Level realm super giant crocodile can be encountered.

This place is where City Lord Da E often comes to hunt.

Demon Beasts above the Empire Level can transform into human form and speak human language. However, in battle, they must revert to their true beast form to exert their maximum combat power.

The giant crocodile demon beasts have hard armor, with stronger defenses than ordinary demon beasts, making them difficult to kill. Generally, people are reluctant to face giant crocodile demon beasts, so few come to hunt at the Giant Crocodile Pond.

The Giant Crocodile Pond is a swamp area covering hundreds of square kilometers, with a large water pool at its center.

City Lord Da E, with a hundred guards, flew over the Dark Forest, arriving above the swamp area.

Da E stood two meters tall, with a fat body, and was over a hundred years old.

Seventy years ago, he was a War General of the Gu Teng tribe, where the Thanos Saint resided. Due to violating tribal laws, according to tribal regulations, he was to be executed.

Unwilling to accept this, he found an opportunity, killed the guard holding him, escaped to the Central Continent, and eventually entered Death Castle.

In seventy years, he continuously honed his skills, hunting demon beasts across the forests and mountains of the Central Continent to gather evolution resources.

He rose from an ordinary guard in Death Castle through relentless effort, eventually becoming the Deputy City Lord.

Over twenty years ago, Da E broke through to the Emperor Level Realm and took advantage of the previous City Lord’s injury in a battle with demon beasts outdoors to kill him and proclaimed himself King, becoming the new City Lord of Death Castle.

In the Central Continent, any City Lord of a castle gains their position through bloodshed.

"Brothers, the usual rules apply. Let’s hunt the giant crocodiles together. The skin of the giant crocodiles can be refined into magic armor, and their crystal cores can be extracted into crystal disks.

Of course, our main purpose is to get some activity and stretch our limbs. After spending too much time in the castle, I fear everyone’s combat power has gone to waste."

The guards laughed loudly,

"City Lord, rest assured. Our combat power will not go to waste. We will always follow you to conquer the world."

"Haha, good, let’s begin."

With that, Da E dived down toward the swamp area, a giant crocodile of thirty to forty meters soared upward, spouting a burst of scorching flames at Da E.

Da E laughed heartily and punched forward,

only to hear a "boom" as the flames exploded instantly.

The Killing Aura sent forth by Da E instantly struck the giant crocodile.

The giant crocodile let out a horrific scream, its massive body plummeting from the air.

Two guards quickly rushed over, swinging their longswords, a flash of light severing the giant crocodile’s head, as a fist-sized crystal core fell out.

Additionally, three palm-sized, pitch-black scales from the giant crocodile fell out.

These fallen giant crocodile scales are valuable materials used for refining magic armor.

The two guards collected the crystal core and the scales into their Space Rings, following City Lord Da E to seek other giant crocodile demon beasts.

"Brothers, the City Lord has already killed a giant crocodile. We need to make an effort. Everyone group into teams of five and quickly search for giant crocodiles."

For these guards, teaming up is the only safe way to hunt. To confront an Empire Level Advanced realm giant crocodile, at least two or three people are needed to subdue it.

A moment later, the hundred guards began to spread out, searching for giant crocodiles everywhere.

The entire swamp area began to echo with the roars of the giant crocodiles and the booming sounds of battle.

Yang Xiao and Elder Qi led a hundred people toward the Giant Crocodile Pond.

Five to six kilometers from the Giant Crocodile Pond, Yang Xiao could already hear the loud sounds of battle emanating from the pond.

Yang Xiao turned and waved his hand to the people behind him, signaling them to stop flying.

Elder Qi asked,

"Young Master Yang, what’s wrong?"

"Do you hear the sounds of battle?"

"Yes, we’ve heard them for a while."

"Good, let’s temporarily land in the forest below and find a place to hide."

Saying so, Yang Xiao led the way and flew down from the sky.

Elder Qi and Wanyan Bai, unsure what Yang Xiao intended, also followed and landed.

"Young Master Yang, aren’t we going to assassinate City Lord Da E? Why have we stopped?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

"No rush, Da E is currently leading his men in hunting demon beasts. You hear the roars are continuous. They’re enjoying the hunt, so it might not be the best time to disturb them, right?"

Seeing Yang Xiao’s mysterious smile, Elder Qi suddenly understood and laughed,

"Yang brother certainly thinks things through thoroughly. Admirable, admirable!"

Wanyan Bai looked at the two in confusion and asked,

"Elder Qi, what are you saying? I don’t understand."

Elder Qi laughed,

"You should ask Young Master Yang."

Wanyan Bai looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

"It’s simple. We plan to assassinate Da E. We wait until they’ve fought the demon beasts and are exhausted before we spring into action. It will definitely work better than if we rush in now, don’t you think?"

Wanyan Bai slapped his forehead and laughed,

"I was just focused on fighting and completely forgot about this."

Yang Xiao took out a Jade Token and handed it to Wanyan Bai,

"Fly immediately to the valley and find Fan Chen. Have him bring the warships and guards to join the battle. It’s not even ten in the morning now, but remember not to move out until two in the afternoon. The distance from here to the valley where the spaceship is is about four hundred kilometers. At full speed, it should take only a little over ten minutes."

"Yes."

Wanyan Bai took the Jade Token from Yang Xiao’s hand, and in a flash, disappeared into the sky.
