Chapter 22 An unexpected surprise
Beilong Mountain at night was different from Qianluo Mountain. Here, Ding Huan did not hear any animal roars except for some unknown insects chirping in the grass.

This made Ding Huan even more cautious, as he knew very well that the ferocious beasts here were more insidious than those in Qianluo Mountain.

He had traveled less than ten kilometers when he was ambushed by various genetic beasts no less than ten times.

Ding Huan took out a searchlight from his backpack. The medicinal herbs he was looking for were all very common things.

With his current eyesight, it shouldn't be too difficult to find these herbs even at night.

Perhaps it was because they sensed Ding Huan's arrogance that when Ding Huan really turned on the light to look for medicinal herbs, no ferocious beast came to attack him.

After searching for two hours, Ding Huan was ambushed by a genetically mutated vampire vine. For Ding Huan, this vampire vine could be killed with just one knife.

In two hours, Ding Huan found three plants: the bright tree, the involucrata, and the Yuansong. As for the remaining pomelo and Fukui, Ding Huan only needed to find the pomelo.

As for Fu Kui, Ding Huan had seen him in Anhe County during the day.

Fukui is the silver fir, and many people like to plant it at their doorstep.

As if it was a joke to Ding Huan, for the next few hours, Ding Huan couldn't find Bayou, but Fu Kui, who he was not in a hurry to find, was found.

The only thing that made him feel less worried was that no ferocious beasts or mutated plants attacked him. Did they know how powerful he was?
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Ding Huan decided that if he couldn't find it, he would go back to Anhe first and let Qu Yi wait for him for a day.

Sometimes it is like this, the more anxious you are, the more things will go against your wishes.

When Ding Huan was about to go back to Anhe County if he couldn't find the tree, he saw a pomelo tree, and it was growing very well.

Under the light of the flashlight, this pomelo tree looks as if it is surrounded by a layer of silver, making it look particularly beautiful.

This is definitely not an ordinary pomelo, but a genetically mutated pomelo, which is the genetically mutated medicinal herb that Ding Huan had heard those people talk about in the hotel before.

Even if Ding Huan does not use the genetically mutated medicinal materials to refine spiritual root genes, their value is still extraordinary.

Ding Huan took a few steps to the side of Bayou, but before he could make a move, a black shadow pounced over.

Ding Huan had been on guard from the beginning, and he moved away the moment the black shadow pounced on him.

He hadn’t encountered any genetic beasts for the whole night and was about to go back, but he actually encountered a genetic beast?
After failing to pounce on Ding Huan the first time, the beast let out a dull growl and pounced on him again.

Is this a white-faced macaque?
In just a moment, Ding Huan confirmed that this was not only a white-faced rough-tailed monkey, but also a genetically mutated white-faced rough-tailed monkey.

It can even be said that this can no longer be considered a white-faced rough-tailed ape, but a golden-faced rough-tailed ape, because the ape's face has a faint hint of gold.

If Ding Huan wasn't a first-level genetic cultivator, he might not be able to see this faint golden color.

Being attacked by a white-faced rough-tailed monkey in the middle of the night is indeed a bit eerie. After all, this guy has a white face and a black body, which makes anyone feel scared when seeing him.

Ding Huan became excited. He absolutely could not miss this mutated ferocious beast, the golden-faced thick-tailed ape.

If there is anything on Earth that can ignore all poisons, it must be the white-faced rough-tailed monkey.

Even the old-school poison-resistant creatures like the flat-headed fox and the mongoose are not necessarily stronger than the white-faced rough-tailed monkey.

However, there is one thing that the flat-headed brother is good at, and that is resistance to neurotoxins.

Should I also get the anti-toxin gene of the flat-headed tiger and then fuse it with the anti-toxin gene of the white-faced rough-tailed monkey?
This idea was immediately ruled out by Ding Huan.

The one in front of him was not an ordinary white-faced rough-tailed monkey, but a golden-faced rough-tailed monkey.

Moreover, since his genetic system began to take shape, he has had a grand goal.

That is, if the genetic abilities of the various foreign genes he has fused continue to improve as his cultivation level increases, will he really be able to find the secret of becoming an immortal one day?

Otherwise, when he reaches a high-level gene monk, will he need to reintegrate higher-level skill genes?
If this is the case, then his path to genetic cultivation has basically failed halfway.

After dodging two powerful attacks from the golden-faced rough-tailed ape, the golden-faced rough-tailed ape seemed a little angry. The hair on its face stood up. It let out a low roar and pounced on Ding Huan for the third time.

Ding Huan held the knife in one hand and reached into his bag to grab a glass bottle.

He threw the mining lamp in his hand aside, but he was careful when throwing it, so the light still illuminated the area. With the slightly white sky, Ding Huan could still see clearly.

In a place like this, once he can't see, he can only run away.

As the golden-faced thick-tailed ape pounced in front of him, Ding Huan took a wrong step and slashed out with the knife in his hand.

Ding Huan felt that his knife had hit a hard piece of iron, and there was even a recoil force.

According to Ding Huan's idea, he was going to injure the golden-faced thick-tailed ape with a knife, and then collect some blood in a glass bottle.

With just this one strike, Ding Huan realized that he was too fanciful. This mutated thick-tailed ape was definitely not something he could defeat.

All the genetic beasts he had seen before were nothing compared to this golden-faced thick-tailed ape, not even little Karami.

No wonder it is so dangerous outside Anhe County. Even half of the villages outside Anhe County have died at the hands of genetic beasts.

It is only natural that such a terrifying genetic beast exists.

After all, he was a first-level genetic monk with extremely rich combat experience, but he was unable to deal with a mutated thick-tailed ape.

This mutant golden-faced rough-tailed ape should also be a first-level genetic mutant beast, but he has just stepped into the ranks of first-level genetic cultivators, and his foundation is far inferior to that of the mutant rough-tailed ape in front of him. Ding Huan exhaled slowly and stared at the golden-faced rough-tailed ape opposite him. At this moment, the sky gradually brightened, and he could clearly see the fierce light in the golden-faced rough-tailed ape's eyes.

No matter what, he had to get the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey's anti-toxic gene today.

This opportunity doesn't come around often.

Although the knife did not injure the Golden-faced Thick-tailed Ape, a trace of blood was clearly left.

The golden-faced thick-tailed ape was a little angry. This time it did not pounce on Ding Huan, but stared at Ding Huan. As long as Ding Huan made any movement or revealed some flaws, it would attack again.

Ding Huan put the glass bottle back into his bag and carefully stepped back to Bayou's side.

This genetically mutated pomelo is a good thing. Ding Huan guessed that this mutated pomelo would be of great use to the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey, so the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey guarded here.

The golden-faced thick-tailed ape had been staring at Ding Huan. After seeing Ding Huan approaching Bayou, it let out a series of low growls, and the ferocity in its eyes deepened.

Ding Huan approached Bayou and pulled it hard, and Bayou was directly broken into pieces by Ding Huan.

This action completely angered the golden-faced rough-tailed ape. It no longer cared to wait for the opportunity and rushed towards Ding Huan.

Having learned from the lesson of failing to gain advantage in the previous two jumps, the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey did not jump this time.

Ding Huan had already anticipated the actions of the golden-faced thick-tailed ape. When the golden-faced thick-tailed ape rushed to him, he twisted his waist again and swung down the dagger in his hand.

However, this time Ding Huan's angle of avoidance was not enough, and after he drew his sword, he was hit in the chest by the golden-faced thick-tailed monkey.

A terrible force came, and Ding Huan could no longer control his body. He was knocked away directly. He suspected that one of his sternum was broken.

When Ding Huan was knocked away, the golden-faced thick-tailed monkey also let out a scream. The previous blow from Ding Huan had cut off a part of the golden-faced thick-tailed monkey's tail.

Before Ding Huan landed on the ground, he felt a chill on his back. Without hesitation, he elbowed back.

A sharp pain came, and then Ding Huan saw a gray shadow running away quickly.

Ding Huan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had forgotten about this gray lynx. This guy really holds a grudge. Not only that, he also has great patience.

If he hadn't sensed something was wrong and elbowed the lynx in advance, the bite from the lynx would have seriously injured him.

After its attack failed, the lynx immediately fled away. It was really quick and decisive.

Ding Huan had no time to care about the lynx. He didn't wait for the golden-faced rough-tailed ape to turn around and fight him. He endured the pain, grabbed the half-broken tail of the golden-faced rough-tailed ape and ran away madly.

The golden-faced rough-tailed ape was chasing Ding Huan wildly, obviously completely enraged by Ding Huan's actions.

Fortunately, it was already daybreak, and Ding Huan could at least see the general direction clearly.

Some small genetic beasts around felt the power of the golden-faced thick-tailed ape, and fled to both sides when Ding Huan escaped.

The golden-faced macaque is extremely fast and agile.

Ding Huan is not weak either. He is a first-level genetic cultivator and can use the terrain to escape.

Because he had to take advantage of the terrain to escape, it was already past eight in the morning when Ding Huan escaped from Beilong Mountain.

At this moment, Ding Huan's whole body was torn to pieces by thorns.

The only good thing is that the golden-faced rough-tailed ape did not chase out.

Ding Huan stopped and took a deep breath, then checked his body. Fortunately, his ribs were not broken.

Instead, his elbow hit the lynx's open mouth, and his elbow was injured by the lynx's teeth.

After resting for a few minutes, he repacked the small half of the tail in the bag.

He came out this time to look for fire lizards, but unexpectedly he found the mutated golden-faced rough-tailed monkey.

In terms of value, Ding Huan felt that this mutated golden-faced rough-tailed monkey was more valuable than the fire lizard.

As long as he could refine the anti-poison gene potion of the Golden-faced Rough-tailed Ape, he would be immune to all poisons after fusion.

Ding Huan remembered that there was a company in Europe called Tonghe Gene Company, which developed the Baidu gene drug and the Feizero gene drug.

The other party’s propaganda is that non-zero genes can ignore various toxins.

Ding Huan was certain that non-zero genes had various limitations and could not ignore various toxins.

Even if they have integrated the anti-toxin genes of the honey badger, they may not be able to ignore all kinds of toxins.

Because he believed that the only one who could do this was Ding Huan.

Not only that, he also wanted to develop a gene drug that could resist poisons that could surpass the mutant golden-faced rough-tailed monkey. Who could do this?
Or perhaps the predecessor who wrote the parchment scroll could also do it, but that predecessor certainly no longer needed to study these genetic drugs.

As long as he doesn't give out his genetic medicine, no one will be able to have the same ability as him.
