Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Do You Want to Die?
Yang Xiao’s Golden Eagle Bow began firing continuously at the birdmen chasing behind him, each Fiery Flame Arrow splitting into ten in mid-air and exploding constantly.
The leader of the birdmen, an Intermediate Enhanced Gene realm, was shot down, and the rest of the birdmen were of lower realms than Yang Xiao and couldn’t resist the Fire Element Arrows he shot.
Yang Xiao fired very quickly, almost one arrow after another, and in the blink of an eye, he had shot twenty or thirty Fire Element Arrows. Among the pursuers, four were shot down by Yang Xiao, a few others were injured, and the rest dared not continue the pursuit.
Shenlongjia was already in sight, and Yang Xiao directed the Giant Eagle to fly towards a valley.
Looking down at Shenlongjia from mid-air, the endless Primitive Forest, towering ancient trees, and continuous green mountains rolling with a few peaks hidden in mist, it truly was a secluded heavenly paradise.
The Giant Eagle, carrying Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin, slowly descended into a valley.
The Giant Eagle itself was a Monster of Intermediate Enhanced Gene, approaching Advanced Enhanced Gene, and it exuded a strong aura. During the descent, Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin heard some loud noises from the forest below, as if some Mutant Monsters had been startled.
Upon landing in a relatively flat meadow in the valley, a giant Green Snake, over ten meters long and covered in spots, suddenly stood erect with a whoosh sound.
The Giant Eagle opened its mouth and with a whoosh, spewed out a ball of intense flames, the Green Snake shrieked miserably and was instantly burnt dead by the Giant Eagle’s flames.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin jumped down, quickly checked the surrounding meadow, and found no other large Mutant Monsters.
Monk Ben Yin laughed:
"Just escaped from being hunted, and now we’ve encountered delicious snake meat delivered right to us, not a bad place."
Yang Xiao laughed heartily.
The two dragged the burnt Green Snake over, chopped off about two meters of the snake body, and gave the rest to the Giant Eagle. The Giant Eagle cheered, opened its huge mouth and started tearing at the snake.
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin cut some branches nearby, started a small bonfire, peeled the snake meat, and started roasting it.
Yang Xiao could have eaten it raw, but Monk Ben Yin wasn’t willing to eat raw meat. Since they were out together, it wouldn’t be good to have separate meals, as it would take away some of the fun and camaraderie of their joint adventure.
Half an hour later, the snake meat was roasted. Yang Xiao took out some salt and chili powder, sprinkled them on the snake meat, and started eating heartily with Monk Ben Yin. The snake meat tasted exceptionally delicious.
"Yang Xiao, who do you think was intercepting us just now?"
"Probably the local ruler?"
"You just killed a few of them; I wonder if they will organize others to chase after us?"
"Eat without worry. Shenlongjia is not like other places; the Monster Level here is rather high. With their Enhanced Gene Cultivation alone, they can’t really enter deep into the mountains of Shenlongjia. I guess they were just hunters on the periphery, saw our Giant Eagle, and wanted to take a chance. They didn’t expect to find two monks on board, well, one monk, haha!"
After finishing their meal, they made some simple repairs, Yang Xiao took out a map and a compass, and confirmed their possible location.
"Based on our direction of flight just now, we’ve just entered the outer part of Shenlongjia. We head forward along this valley, after about fifty kilometers we’ll enter the middle area of Shenlongjia. There are over three thousand square kilometers of Primitive Forest here. According to Gu Bo, there should be a lot of Monsters above the Enhanced Gene Level.
Monk Ben Yin, you come out with me to cooperate, we’ll split any equipment and Genetic Balls obtained from hunting monsters, how about that?"
Monk Ben Yin laughed:
"Sure, no problem, all is good!"
Yang Xiao was stunned; damn, such a buddhist youth!
Yang Xiao then patted the Giant Eagle’s head, saying:
"Giant Eagle Brother, you clear the way in mid-air, don’t go too far, and defend us from possible aerial attacks. Rest assured, you’ll have enough monster corpses every day, and by the time we return, you will be able to breakthrough to the Enhanced Gene Advanced level."
"Uh—"
The Giant Eagle called out excitedly.
Having left the desert, the Giant Eagle hadn’t felt this thrilled in a long time. Only here could it find high-level monsters to help accelerate its genetic evolution.
"Alright, let’s start moving along the valley now."
Yang Xiao and Monk Ben Yin each wielded a Longsword and moved forward, while the Giant Eagle roared and flew into the mid-air, clearing the way ahead.
Soon, Yang Xiao encountered a twenty-meter long centipede with Primary Level Enhanced Genes.
Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi had reached about five meters. He charged forward and split the centipede’s head with one swing.
Monk Ben Yin stared dumbfounded at Yang Xiao and said:
"At least let me strike once? I had already started my swing, and then suddenly your Sword Qi surged, beheading the centipede. That was really inconsiderate."
Yang Xiao laughed, "Okay, you take the lead. From now on, you attack the monsters first, and I’ll assist you."
Monk Ben Yin paused; it sounded right, but somehow it felt awkward!
...
The group that intercepted Yang Xiao was led by Zhong Cailing.
After being severely injured by Yang Xiao’s Fire Element Arrow, Zhong Cailing fell from mid-air. Fortunately, two companions quickly swooped down and grabbed her with their claws before she hit the ground, then landed with her safely.
After being resisted by Yang Xiao for a while, the rest also descended, among them four girls were shot dead by Yang Xiao, and five others were injured.
Her companions fed Zhong Cailing two Small Blood Pills, and after resting for half an hour, the wound on her thigh stopped bleeding, slowly healed, and she regained consciousness, recovering some energy.
"Ling sister, how are you feeling?"
A companion asked.
Zhong Cailing gritted her teeth and said fiercely:
"Don’t worry, I won’t die. Where did that Giant Eagle go?"
"Ling sister, there were people on the back of that Giant Eagle, and they are very strong. They killed four of our sisters and injured several others. We were worried about your injuries and didn’t dare to pursue further, but we saw that Giant Eagle land inside Shenlongjia."
"Damn it, who are these people who dare to run amok in my territory? You ten stay behind and monitor the nearby mountains, see which direction that Giant Eagle flew. The rest of you, come back with me to find Brother Dong. I must kill that Giant Eagle and the people on it, to quench the hatred in my heart."
After saying this, Zhong Cailing looked down at the wound on her thigh.
Her pants had been completely blown off, exposing her blotchy thigh. There were several cuts over ten centimeters long, and although they were healing slowly, the sight of the blood was still chilling.
Zhong Cailing was both shocked and furious after seeing it; shocked that she was almost destroyed by Yang Xiao earlier but fortunately dodged in time, or she might no longer be alive.
Furious that Shenlongjia area belonged to Brother Dong’s territory, and someone dared to intrude and even killed Brother Dong’s lover. This kid must have a death wish, being so reckless!
