(Sorry, the broadband at home suddenly stopped working, so I couldn’t upload it in time.)
Yang Xiao took the sweat-blooded flame horse back to the gene store stronghold in the middle of the desert.
It was just after noon, but Yang Xiao found that there was no one near the gene store, and even his giant eagle was missing.
"what's the situation?"
Yang Xiao ran to the gene store.
"Guban, where are the people around here? Why is no one missing?"
The store owner smiled and said:
"I heard that a large-scale landslide occurred fifty kilometers away from here, and an underground river emerged from the sand. In the underground river, there are a large number of mutated desert fish."
"Desert fish?"
Yang Xiao was stunned. He had never heard of fish in the desert.
"This kind of desert fish usually lives in underground rivers and has strong drought resistance. It is rumored that there are many desert fish with enhanced genes and above in the underground rivers. This kind of desert fish is easy to be hunted and can explode. There are a lot of gene balls, one fish can explode at least 10 gene balls, or even more, so everyone ran over to catch the fish."
Yang Xiao was confused after hearing this. It was really a cold joke to catch fish in the desert.
"When did this happen?"
"The day before yesterday."
"Ah, are they coming back tonight?"
"No, there is a gene store about ten kilometers away from the underground river. They rest there at night."
"Oh, I see, then do you know where my giant eagle went?"
"It should have been taken away by the friend you entrusted with it."
"If I rush there now, can I reach the gene store stronghold before dark?"
"You can use the Sweat and Blood Flame Horse, of course."
Yang Xiao checked the location on the store hall map, walked out of the store, jumped on the flaming horse, and galloped away.
In this desert, there is a gene store every fifty kilometers or so. However, the gene store strongholds in the desert cannot travel directly through the teleportation array. Instead, hunters need to walk. As for why there is such a strange setting, Yang Xiao also Too lazy to ask.
The sweat-blooded flame horse was very fast. When he encountered mutant monsters along the way, Yang Xiao didn't bother to fight them. He basically just rode the flame horse to avoid them.
No other creature can catch up with the speed of the sweat-blooded flame horse. This is what surprises Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao estimates that the sweat-blooded flame horse is only the basic level of enhanced genes, but its agility attribute may be super high, much higher than Generally, mutated monsters with enhanced genes and advanced genes, especially after Flame Horse uses Flame Xiangyun, its speed is even more amazing.
As a beginner of enhanced genes, Yang Xiao can run the fifty kilometers in one hour if he runs by himself. However, if he encounters a mutated monster along the way, it may not be easy for him to escape. He must kill the monster, just in case. Encountering a group of monsters is really a big problem.
In addition, letting him run fifty kilometers continuously in one breath is also a big problem. The physical exertion is too great, and it will be very dangerous to encounter mutant monsters.
In short, the Flame Horse greatly improved Yang Xiao's mobile survivability in the desert, which is why Yang Xiao was willing to spend one million crystal coins to redeem it and take it out of the desert.
In about half an hour, Yang Xiao arrived at another gene store marked on the map.
It's still early, and there are not many people here. There are only two or three teams resting nearby.
Yang Xiao jumped off the flaming horse, walked to a group of people, and asked:
"Brothers, may I ask where the nearby desert underground river is?"
This group of people looked up at Yang Xiao and said with a smile:
"Why, you're here to pick up fish too, but you're late. The underground river is already full of people, and most of the desert fish in it have probably been caught."
One of them glanced at the flaming horse behind Yang Xiao, looked slightly surprised, pointed in the distance, and said:
"Go straight ahead in this direction, about ten kilometers, and you will see a large group of people. If you are lucky, you can pick up a few fish that have slipped through the net."
Yang Xiao said thank you, mounted the flaming horse and galloped away.
More than ten minutes later, Yang Xiao saw heads shaking in a desert in the distance. There were at least two to three hundred people there.
However, looking at the atmosphere, something seemed wrong, as if a group of people were fighting.
Fights over prey are commonplace in the desert.
Yang Xiao rushed over on horseback.
For unknown reasons, the desert terrain here collapsed and dropped at least ten meters, revealing an underground river that was five to six hundred meters long and forty to fifty meters wide.
The water in the underground river flows very slowly and is very clear. Along both sides of the underground river, there are two to three hundred people. Everyone holds weapons in their hands and stares at the river. If there is a mutated desert fish coming from the underground river in front, When they come out of the middle of the river, they will immediately use various techniques to kill them and then drag them ashore.
These desert fish are not killed instantly in the water. They are usually beaten to a serious injury and then lose the ability to resist. They are pulled out of the water and then stabbed to death with a sword. Only then do they explode a large number of gene balls.
Yang Xiao saw that on both sides of the desert near the underground river, there were thousands of desert fish piled up like a hill. These desert fish were generally about 3 meters long.
Because too many desert fish were killed in a short period of time, no one asked for the desert fish's carcass. Everyone just picked up the gene balls and threw the desert fish's carcasses into the nearby desert.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert. It is about minus ten degrees Celsius during the day and about minus twenty degrees Celsius at night. These fish are basically frozen into popsicles.
Because it is an underground river, the water here does not freeze, but is heated by the ground. The temperature in the water is about four or five degrees above zero, and a layer of white mist emerges from the river water.
Only a section of five to six hundred meters long was exposed, and the flowing water quickly entered another section of the underground river and continued to flow downward.
In order to catch desert fish in the water, most people concentrate on the upper reaches of the river about 100 meters away.
Yang Xiao rode a flaming horse and stood outside the crowd. No one paid attention to him. Everyone's attention was on the desert fish in the river and the fight taking place in front.
Yang Xiao slowly walked forward from behind the crowd and saw Zhou Jian and others fighting with a group of people.
This underground river appeared the day before yesterday and was discovered by a group of people from Hong Kong Island who were hunting here.
This group of people were shocked when they discovered this underground river that suddenly appeared.
At that time, the entire river was full of golden-skinned desert fish. These fish were not very aggressive, and only the sharp teeth in their big mouths were somewhat threatening.
Eight people from Hong Kong Island immediately took action, hunted many desert fish, and obtained thousands of gene balls.
