Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 779 - 779: Shedding Skin (4 more updates)

According to the cultivation method recorded on the stone wall, Genetic Evolvers are required to undergo a process similar to a snake's "molting" when they encounter a Genetic Evolution Bottleneck and cannot further advance their Evolution Realm.
And this "molting" cultivation described by the elder Wildman is actually a kind of death cultivation.
The wall listed a recipe for "Poison," containing over a dozen precious medicinal ingredients, including three highly toxic substances. After consuming this poison, the cultivator enters a state of death, lasting several days,
and his body's genes are reconstructed after death. Since there is a massive amount of Genetic Evolution Energy inside his body, this reconstruction gets strongly propelled by the Genetic Evolution Energy, thus breaking the original structure.
The writing on the wall describes that after the elder Wildman drank the self-prepared poison, he collapsed unconscious in the cave, and he did not know how many days he had been unconscious.
When he woke up, he felt that his body had been reformed, and the bottleneck of genetic evolution had been broken.
Before death, no matter what Demon Beast's flesh and blood he consumed, he couldn't gain more Evolution Energy.
But after waking from death and hunting Demon Beasts again, consuming their flesh and blood, the Evolution Energy in his body was enhanced again, and he successfully increased his Genetic Attribute by 1 point.
The greatest success described by this elder Wildman is that after using this cultivation method, he broke the long-standing Genetic Evolution Bottleneck and improved his attribute values.
However, this elder Wildman only performed the "molting" cultivation method successfully once and had not fully broken through to the Emperor Level Realm.
Yang Xiao took out a pen and paper to record the abbreviated "molting" cultivation method and the specific poison recipe from the wall.
"Grandpa, when we get back, I'll have Qing Mu and the others prescribe you this medicine to have a proper cultivation session,"
Before Yang Xiao could finish speaking, the Wildman King spat at him,
"Pah, you smelly kid, are you wishing for my death? I need to keep this old body around for a few more years. I want to see Ah Rui have children, I still have a few more years of being a great-grandfather, hehe!"
Yang Xiao realized, this old man has recently been particularly keen on becoming a great-grandfather, it seems he truly is getting old, with no ambitions left.
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"Then tell me, do you think Ah Chuan and the others would dare to try the cultivation method on this stone wall?"
"Hehe, hard to say, if he's not afraid of death, maybe he will use it.
As far as I know, Ah Chuan's Genetic Evolution has been stuck at the Empire Middle Level for over a decade, with no further progress,
If he really has the ambition to drive away the Witch Star people and unify the Wildman tribes, dominating Purple Origin Star, I would respect him as a real man!"
Yang Xiao then carefully searched the entire cave again, ensuring that nothing was overlooked before preparing to leave.
The Wildman King had always been irritated at Ah Chuan for hiding the secret of this cave, but now that he had obtained all the secrets of the cave wall, he felt relieved, yet he still felt something was missing.
"Ah, got it!"
The Wildman King stretched out his right hand's two fingers and wrote a few characters on the stone wall,
The hard stone wall's powder scattered, and a line deeply inscribed appeared:
"Smelly kid, hiding the cave's secrets, deserves a spanking."
Signed "Wildman King".
Thinking it still wasn't enough, he spoke to Yang Xiao:
"You go out first, wait for me at the entrance of the cave."
"Hmm? What are you planning to do?"
"Never mind that, just go out first."
Yang Xiao chuckled, sensing that this old man sometimes acts like a child, having no idea what mischief he was planning, and then walked out of the cave.
About ten minutes later, the Wildman King came out of the cave.
"Alright, let's go. We've been delayed here for more than ten days, it's time to return."
"Grandpa, what were you doing inside the cave just now?"
The Wildman King chuckled and said,
"I took a dump in the cave, to stink up Ah Chuan and those smelly kids, haha..."
Yang Xiao: "..."
The two left the cave and flew through the air, quickly finding the hidden valley where the warship was.
The pair boarded the warship, lifted off, and flew towards Wildman Valley, disappearing into the air in an instant.
Ah Chuan had been studying the Cultivation Secret Book in the cave for several months now. Ever since Flying Wolf found this cave, he had been leading a dozen key members of the tribe to regularly study the inscriptions on the cave walls.
Just a few days ago, they finally had a general understanding of the main points.
To be honest, compared to Yang Xiao, who had gone through modern cultural education, Yang Xiao naturally far surpassed these illiterate wildmen in logical thinking and reasoning.
Yang Xiao spent ten days reading the inscriptions on the cave walls and summarized the core of the cultivation method overnight.
Ah Chuan, on the other hand, gathered the strength of a dozen key tribal members, and they finally got a general idea.
"Great Chief, should we go back and look again, I always feel that following this method is too dangerous, and also, we don't remember the poison recipe clearly. Let's go back and examine the recipe carefully. We cannot afford even a slight mistake, otherwise, it may cost us our lives."
Ah Chuan nodded,
"Yes, I had the same idea. Let's go to the cave again today."
A group of people arrived at the cave and went inside.
Since they had been here many times, everyone was very familiar with it and walked straight in.
Ah Chuan was at the front and suddenly felt something soft under his foot, as if stepping on something mushy and sticky.
The wildmen like Ah Chuan usually went barefoot.
"Hmm, what's this?"
Ah Chuan stopped and looked at the bottom of his foot, bending over to touch the sticky thing stuck on his foot.
It was quite dark a few meters into the cave entrance and hard to see clearly.
A wildman pulled out a torch, created a handful of flames in his palm, and lit the torch.
Ah Chuan slowly raised his fingers, and soon everyone smelled a stench.
"Holy shit! Wakaka..."
When Ah Chuan saw that it was a pile of feces, he cried out.
Beside him, Flying Wolf took a deep breath and said,
"It smells like urine too."
Everyone was shocked. Could someone have been here?
As Ah Chuan continued yelling, he disdainfully rubbed his foot on the ground a few times, but the feces was stuck between his toes and couldn't be cleaned off, leaving him cursing loudly.
A few wildmen quickly ran further into the cave, carefully looking for any traces of someone having come in.
"Ouch, indeed someone has come in, there is a message left on the stone wall."
"Damn, this is serious, the message is signed by the King of Wildmen, oh my god, the King of Wildmen has been here?"
...
There was an uproar among the wildmen in the cave.
Ah Chuan, no longer fussing about the feces, quickly ran over and parted the crowd to read the writing on the wall:
"Stinky lad, hiding the secret of the cave, deserves a spanking."
Signed "King of Wildmen".
Ah Chuan's heart skipped a beat, as if suddenly thrown into an ice cellar, a chill running through his body.
"Holy crap, the King of Wildmen secretly followed us and sneaked into this cave?"
Although Ah Chuan did not think it was too serious, the future encounters would definitely be awkward.
Glancing down at the feces on his foot, Ah Chuan's face was filled with embarrassment.
