Early the next morning, Yang Xiao said to the chimpanzee:
"I go out to the canyon to hunt monsters and come back here to rest at night."
"I'll go with you."
The chimpanzee excitedly expressed his intention to come along.
The lion also said:
"I am coming too."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"If you all go, the water in this holy spring will soon be drank up by other animals."
The chimpanzee and the lion were stunned, and it seemed to make sense.
The chimpanzee said to the lion:
"Lion stay, I'll go."
"Stay the stupid gorilla, I'll go."
"Okay, stop arguing. If the lion stays, aren't you worried about it stealing the spring water? If King Kong stays, aren't you worried about it stealing the spring water?"
The chimpanzees and lions immediately scratched their heads, indicating that the problem was nerve-wracking.
In fact, after the lion and orangutan evolved to the king level, it was difficult for the water of this holy spring to help them improve quickly. However, both of them regarded the holy spring as a treasure and refused to let the other party take advantage.
It's like two children guarding a jar of candy. They are full and don't want to eat, but they can't let the other person take advantage by eating more.
According to Yang Xiao's speculation, after lions and chimpanzees evolve to the king level, they have basically reached the ceiling of genetic evolution. Whether they drink spring water or eat monster flesh and blood, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough.
And the spring water will probably dry up in a short time.
Yang Xiao didn't want to tell the chimpanzees and lions about these situations. For the two naughty children, this was their joy and dream of life. It would be too unkind if Yang Xiao directly shattered their dreams.
In the end, the chimpanzee and the lion stayed to supervise each other not to drink from the spring water secretly.
Yang Xiao went to a nearby stream to bring a pot of water, then rode on the flaming horse and walked out of the canyon.
Just after leaving the canyon and running a few kilometers, there was a loud bang on the ground, and a huge sandworm rose into the sky.
The sandworm's skin glowed with a faint golden color, and it looked like a monster with enhanced genes.
The sandworm stood up and sprayed a stream of extremely cold ice mist from its mouth towards Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao could see where the ice mist sprayed, the air contracted and made a creaking sound. That was the sound of water vapor in the air solidifying into ice.
Yang Xiao slapped the flaming horse to avoid the extremely cold ice mist spraying towards him. He held the mysterious long sword and rushed towards the sandworm at close range.
In the past, Yang Xiao would have used black holes to engulf or sweep across the void, but this time, Yang Xiao wanted to try the power of this sword.
With the speed of the flame horse, Yang Xiao is not too worried about being attacked.
The flaming horse turned into a red cloud and flashed past the giant sandworm.
I saw the brilliance of Yang Xiao's long sword flowing, and the powerful murderous aura spurted out. The long sword lightly passed against the sandworm's body. Yang Xiao felt as if he had not touched anything, and he rushed over dozens of meters in a flash.
He only heard a shrill scream from the sandworm. He quickly looked back and saw that the body of the huge sandworm was shaking, and blood spurted out from the place where Yang Xiao's sword had just scratched.
Yang Xiao was horrified in his heart. According to the advanced level of the sandworm's enhanced gene, if he used the Longquan gun or the golden eagle bow, he would not be able to break through the opponent's defense. In other words, Yang Xiao's Longquan gun could not actually penetrate the sandworm's body because The sandworm's body has at least 60 points of defense.
But now, the long sword in his hand was like slicing tofu, directly slicing one-third of the entire waistline on the sandworm's body.
The sandworm obviously didn't expect that Yang Xiao would cut off a third of its body with a sword.
The sandworm screamed wildly, raised its long body, and rushed towards Yang Xiao again, and even more intense extremely cold ice mist was sprayed towards Yang Xiao.
The flame horse neighed, its hooves flew, avoiding the extremely cold ice fog, and rushed into the close range of the sandworm again.
The sandworm was about thirty to forty meters long, and its raised body was more than ten meters tall. Yang Xiao rushed into the vicinity of its body like lightning.
The long sword in Yang Xiao's hand once again passed against the sandworm's body.
Ouch——
The sandworm screamed again, and before Yang Xiao had time to turn around, he heard a bang behind him, and the sandworm's huge body fell to the ground.
The sandworm is similar to an earthworm, with a soft body. It was naturally unable to support itself after Yang Xiao slashed it twice on the left and right sides of the waist.
The sandworm was dying, and blood was gurgling on the ground.
Yang Xiao slapped the horse again and galloped past, cutting off its waist completely with a sword. The sandworm's body was split in two and it died.
Yang Xiao raised the long sword in his hand. The sound of the bronze sword was filled with strange runes that shone with light. After the battle stopped, the light of the runes slowly faded away, leaving only a stream of light traveling back and forth on the sword.
"It is indeed a great sword that defies heaven!"
Everything has two sides. Although this sword is extremely sharp and murderous, it has a shortcoming, that is, it must be fought in close combat.
Yang Xiao's previous necklaces, rings, and armbands all had agility attributes, which were in line with the characteristics of close combat with a sword. However, in order to truly use this sword, Yang Xiao had to learn ancient martial arts.
Like Monk Benyin, Zhang Hai, Lan Xin, and Zhiruo, they have super high Qinggong movements and flexible close combat skills.
If this sword were given to anyone like Lan Xin and others to use now, it would definitely be several times more powerful than in the hands of Yang Xiao.
If Yang Xiao learns ancient martial arts, he can make up for his shortcomings in close combat, and combined with the soul skills of long-range attacks, his combat effectiveness will be even more explosive.
Yang Xiao took out a black vial, put the body of the sandworm into the vial, and then went to look for other monsters.
In the following battle, Yang Xiao began to mainly fight in close quarters with the long sword, occasionally using Sweeping the Void and Swallowing the Black Hole, as well as splitting the ground with one finger.
Yang Xiao also used the Golden Bee Sword Technique in conjunction with the sword technique, striking out ten sword shadows with one sword, doubling its power.
In the evening, Yang Xiao hunted nearly thirty monsters and returned home with a full load.
Yang Xiao lived in the canyon for more than twenty days in a row. Every day he went out to hunt monsters during the day, and returned to the canyon at night to brag and chat with the chimpanzees and lions.
After twenty days, the gene balls collected by Yang Xiao and the various equipment exploded totaled at least 2 million crystal coins.
Yang Xiao does not plan to sell these equipment to the gene store for the time being, but plans to take them back and give them to Xia Luo and others for use.
The wisdom attribute has been increased to 49 points. After drinking the liquid in the black bottle today, it is estimated that I can break through to the intermediate level of enhanced genes.
In the first few days, Shakui came to the desert canyon every day to stir up trouble, but he was beaten to pieces by chimpanzees and lions every time. Later, Shakui never came back.
Yang Xiao was sitting by the campfire, while the chimpanzee and the lion were roasting two giant desert wolves that Yang Xiao had brought back to them.
Yang Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a small black bottle and slowly took a sip of the liquid inside, then sat quietly, waiting for his body to absorb the strong current.
The chimpanzees and lions have become accustomed to Yang Xiao's actions, and they can see Yang Xiao doing the same action every night.
One time the chimpanzee asked Yang Xiao:
"Brother Yang Xiao, what are you drinking?"
"medicine!"
"What medicine? Are you injured?"
"It's a very bitter medicine. If you fight monsters outside every day, you will be injured to some extent."
As soon as the chimpanzee heard about the bitter medicine, he lost interest and did not ask further questions.
This bottle contained more than thirty giant beasts. Yang Xiao could only take a small sip at a time and did not dare to drink too much.
When I took the eighth sip, electric current spread throughout my body, and then, a light from my abdomen rushed directly to the top of my head.
Buzz!
Yang Xiao felt his mind shake, and his whole body suddenly felt refreshed and particularly ethereal.
Yang Xiao was pleasantly surprised and let out a long breath.
There was a light in my mind, and I quickly scanned it carefully. I saw that the gene attribute system showed that it was already an intermediate level of enhanced genes.
Strengthen the intermediate level of genes:
Strength 50, Agility 50, Defense 50, Wisdom 50.
Yang Xiao looked at the bottom of the soul skill column again:
One finger cracks the ground, sweeps across the void, is swallowed by black holes, and five fingers explode into the sky.
"Hey, Five Fingers Exploding the Sky, a new soul skill!"
Yang Xiao was ecstatic for a while.
