Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 678 - 678: The Accidental Genetic Evolution

(Thank you book friend Xingyun Piaoxue for the reward of 3100 Qidian Coins, becoming the Sect Leader, and for the support!)
"Yang Xiao, I need to take you to my tribe, only you may come with us, the other three must return."
Ah Bao pointed to Luo Meng and the two men in black cloaks.
Luo Meng looked at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"Luo Meng, go back and tell Station Chief Dai that I will go to the Primitive Forest Protection Zone to meet the Wild Man King and will return after the matter is settled. Tell him not to worry."
"Yang Xiao, we are not at ease with you going alone."
"What's there to worry about? If we wanted to kill him, even if you three were here, could you stop us? You'd still be killed along with the rest!"
Ah Bao said coarsely.
Luo Meng was stunned; Ah Bao's words made some sense.
"Alright, Yang Xiao, take care of yourself."
After Luo Meng spoke, he left with the two men in black cloaks and headed toward the nearby mining area.
Yang Xiao followed Ah Bao and others, and after more than two hours of trekking through the forest, they arrived at a valley.
Ah Mu found an opportunity, walked up to Ah Bao, and whispered:
"Sect Leader Ah Bao, by bringing this stranger to our place, aren't you exposing our camp? Be careful, this could be a trick from David, sending this person to scout and find our hidden camp, giving David a chance to capture us all at once."
Ah Bao said indifferently:
"Ah Mu, you have to trust my judgment. I feel that Yang Xiao is different from Tanaka Jiao and is unlikely to betray us.
Besides, we have several camps that we change periodically. Even if he knows about this place, he may not be able to find us. Don't worry."
Seeing how much Ah Bao trusted Yang Xiao, Ah Mu could only clench his teeth in frustration.
That night, Ah Bao held a bonfire party for Yang Xiao in the camp.
"Yang Xiao, come, have some grilled meat."
Ah Bao handed a piece of grilled meat to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao took a bite and immediately felt a surge of intense electricity coursing through his body, the sensation much stronger than from the flesh of ordinary Emperor Level monsters.
After taking a couple of bites, Yang Xiao looked at Ah Bao,
"What kind of animal is this meat from?"
Ah Bao laughed heartily and said:
"This is no ordinary animal's meat, but the meat from a Blast Bear that we've fed with Purple Source Crystal Powder for a year. Do you feel the strong Evolution Energy? This is just a monster in the advanced King Level, not yet at Emperor Level."
Yang Xiao nodded and then asked:
"I heard that you use Purple Source Crystal Powder to feed monsters, and then eat their meat to enhance Genetic Evolution Energy, is that so?"
"Of course, the piece of meat you have in your hand was fed this way. Try this piece as well,"
Ah Bao handed another piece of grilled meat to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao took it and bit into it, sensing that the electricity contained in this piece of meat was much weaker.
"This piece of meat is from an ordinary Monster, right?"
"Haha, yes."
"How many monsters like this can you raise each year?"
"This question is somewhat difficult to answer. We usually capture the monster whelps and bring them back for raising, adding some Crystal Stone Powder to their food. It takes roughly a year before we consume them. The number is not very fixed; sometimes more, sometimes less.
We use this special Monster Meat to feed the children among the wild people so that they can evolve rapidly. Once they reach King Level, they can join us adults in hunting monsters."
"So why do you suddenly ask for fifty kilograms of Purple Source Crystal Stone per month? Could it be that you've suddenly captured a large number of monster whelps that need to be fed?"
"Haha, that problem was caused by the miner who ran away,"
"Are you talking about Tanaka Jiao?"
"Yes, after Tanaka Jiao discovered that we use Crystal Stone Powder to feed the monsters, he suggested we sprinkle the powder into the water pond, so that the surrounding monsters would drink the water there, allowing a large number of them to obtain the Evolution Energy of the Purple Source Crystal Stone.
After a year, there will be an abundance of special monsters raised on Purple Source Crystal Stone everywhere, and we will have an endless supply of monster meat."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but admire Tanaka Jiao's intelligence, but he still had questions in his heart.
"Shouldn't these crystal stones be insoluble in water? Does sprinkling them into the pond really work?"
"Although Crystal Stones are insoluble in water, they slowly release Energy. Animals that drink such water over a long period can indeed be affected."
"So, did you see any effects after sprinkling the Crystal Stone Powder into the water pond?"
"Of course, nowadays plenty of monsters crowd near the water pond to drink, creating quite a lively scene. I can take you to see for yourself tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
...
Du Tianxing, Gu Beifeng, and the others spent the evening in the pit dwellings of the mining camp.
Recently they noticed a strange phenomenon: every night, a girl's singing could be heard near the mining camp, her voice sometimes high and lingering, sometimes soft and low.
At first, this was noticed by the guards at the mine entrance, who could hear it clearly because it was outside of the mine.
Later, everyone became aware of this, and they all ran out of the mine to listen.
"There really is a girl singing."
"What's going on?"
"How could there be a woman nearby?"
"But this singing?"
"Let's be careful, this is not normal. It's safer for us to hide inside the mining pit."
...
The singer was none other than the mermaid girl from the nearby water pond.
Recently, by drinking the water irradiated with Purple Source Crystal Stone, she gained increasingly powerful Genetic Evolution Energy, causing her body structure to continuously evolve. Although she had not evolved to Emperor Level, she was slowly gaining the ability to partially transform into human form and showcase her singing talent.
The mermaid girl now no longer hides in the pit to consume water irradiated with crystal energy, but instead has moved all the mined Purple Source Crystal Stones directly into the pond.
Now, not only could the mermaid girl enjoy it herself, but all the fish in the water pond could also partake in this water enhanced with the energy radiated from the Purple Source Crystal Stone, and even some nearby monsters started coming over to drink.
However, these crystal stones were still in large chunks and had not been ground into powder, so the released Evolution Energy was not as potent. It was nowhere near as intense as the effect when Ah Bao and others ground the Purple Source Crystal Stone into powder and sprinkled it into the water pond.
After hearing about Ah Bao scattering Resource Crystal Stones into the pond, Yang Xiao felt a vague sense of unease, but he couldn't pinpoint why he felt this strange sensation.
That night, Yang Xiao stayed in the wild people's cave and had a dream. In the forests of Purple Origin Star, there were shadows of Super Monsters everywhere, and the miners from Witch Star were constantly being attacked by Super Monsters, their bases being destroyed, personnel getting killed, one after another.
Nobody anticipated that an evolutionary journey set to change the ecological balance of Purple Origin Star was quietly underway.
