Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Where is the next target?

Night Song, carrying the demonic sword, asked.

"Huh?" Wu Yikun was taken aback. "Next target? Shall we go now? Don't we need to rest?"

Ye Ge tilted her head and looked at him: "Resting? Are you injured?"

Wu Yikun: "No."

Night Song: "Is anyone injured?"

Wu Yikun scratched his head: "Uh, it doesn't seem like it..."

Night Song: "Then why don't you take a complete break?"

Wu Yikun: "......"

"Exactly! You're always slacking off!" After watching Xingminglong's performance, Zhiling instantly became his fan, and said with a grin, "But Lord Xingminglong was so cool just now! I didn't even see how it happened, he knocked that guy down in one go!"

Su You leaned against the side with her arms crossed, and said expressionlessly, "That guy just now obviously only saw the level of the Star Nether Dragon and didn't see the Demon Sword. He underestimated his opponent and was careless. He didn't use many of the Ancient Tanuki Power skills at all. What's all the fuss about?"

“Oh…” Zhiling shrank her neck and looked at him cautiously.

Although both are players, Zhiling is only a mid-level employee in the company, while Suyou is a senior executive.

In front of Su You, this young girl naturally dared not say much.

Zhu Yu pondered: 'That's not right...'

'The ancient power of Tanuki was indeed not fully unleashed just now.'

'But rather than saying the opponent underestimated him or was careless, it's more accurate to say that Star Dragon completely saw through the opponent's intentions and interrupted his initiation before he could even make a move...'

"As expected of the Demon Sword - Dark Soul Dragon." Su You looked at the Demon Sword wrapped in white cloth in Ye Ge's hand with a cold smile, her eyes revealing a hint of cold greed: "It must have taken a lot of effort to tame it."

"I guess so." Ye Ge touched the demon sword.

"The Demon Sword doesn't submit to others so easily," Su You warned with a disdainful look. "Be careful that one day it turns around and tries to devour you."

"...Huh?" Ye Ge looked up, her expression blank, as if she hadn't paid any attention to what he had just said.

Su You: "......"

Ye Ge ignored Su You and turned to Zhu Yu: "Where is the next target?"

Zhu Yu paused, then opened the system map to check: "It's in a small town of the Spirit Clan, three hundred kilometers away."

“Alright,” Ye Ge said, “Let’s go.” Then he flew forward.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yu, Wu Yikun, and Zhiling immediately followed.

Su You stared at Xing Minglong's retreating figure, her eyes turning cold once more, and followed him.

......

An unnamed Elven town.

Inside a temple.

A short-haired woman stood in front of the statue, her hands clasped together, bowing slightly in worship.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

The short-haired woman's ears twitched; she recognized the footsteps as belonging to a stranger.

Turning around, I discovered that they were several extremely beautiful young girls.

It was Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, and Yu Li.

"Who are you?" the short-haired woman asked.

"Hello." Yu Li bowed slightly and said politely, "You must be a descendant of the Yongniao clan?"

The short-haired woman's expression changed, slightly surprised, not expecting that her identity as a descendant of an ancient race would be known.

But she has always kept a low profile since living in this small town, so she shouldn't have been discovered...

unless......

"Are you from the gene company?" The short-haired woman's expression became wary, and she even began to subtly circulate her soul power.

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand." Yu Li quickly waved her hand: "We are not from the gene company. We are here to remind you."

Short-haired woman: "Remind me?"

“We’re not from the company, but people from the company are definitely watching you,” Gao Shenxue said calmly. “They’ll be coming for you soon, and it’s very dangerous for you to stay here.”

The short-haired woman frowned for a long time, her body trembling slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with despair: "If they really are from that company, no matter where I escape to on the map of all races, I won't escape their eyes..."

“We can help you!” Xia Xiyao said.

The short-haired woman looked at her suspiciously: "You?"

“The premise is,” Gao Shenxue added, “that you must cooperate with us.”

......

A few hours later.

Ye Ge led Zhu Yu, Su You, and others to this unknown Spirit Clan town.

They arrived at the gate of the temple.

"Is this it?" Ye Ge asked.

“Yes,” Zhu Yu replied.

"OK." Night Song: "Kick the door."

Wu Yikun: "Yes."

"boom!"

Wu Yikun kicked the door open violently.

Ye Ge led everyone into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a short-haired woman dressed in gray cloth was standing with her back to them, trimming the flowers and plants with a pair of scissors.

"Descendants of the Yongniao Clan," Yege spoke first.

The short-haired woman stopped trimming her hair, slowly turned around, and looked at them with a cold gaze.

Zhiling asked curiously, "You don't seem surprised at all by our arrival? Do you know who we are?"

“Gene Corporation,” the short-haired woman said expressionlessly, “I know people from your Gene Corporation. You’ve been searching everywhere for descendants with the bloodlines of ancient races for years. I knew you’d come looking for me sooner or later.”

"So you already had this in mind, then I'll save you the trouble of explaining." Ye Ge put down the demonic sword he was carrying on his shoulder, letting it hang on the ground: "Two paths: join the company, or become an experimental subject and be captured by us."

The short-haired woman sneered, "Do you think I don't know? Even if I go with you and join your company, I'll still become your guinea pig!"

As she spoke, she slowly raised her hands, crossed her arms over her chest, and a misty red soul power slowly emerged: "You will regret coming to this place!"

"Fierce and malevolent—Burning Wind Realm!"

The short-haired woman unleashed a "Scorched Earth Domain" within a radius of 300 meters around her. Within the domain, moisture evaporated rapidly, vegetation spontaneously combusted, and a scorching wind, hot enough to dry everything, enveloped Ye Ge and the others.

Within seconds, Wu Yikun, Zhiling, and the others experienced symptoms such as cracked skin and dizziness, with their body fluids and soul power evaporating at an extremely rapid rate.

Zhu Yu and Su You both activated their own holy power and evil power to resist.

“The Yong Bird is a ferocious beast,” Zhu Yu said. “This is her Burning Wind Domain, but it won’t last long. Maintaining it requires a lot of malevolent energy. We just need to avoid it and delay her.”

Before each mission to capture a descendant of an ancient race, the genetic company conducts a thorough investigation into the individual's background and gains a basic understanding of their abilities.

Night Song said, "There's no need to waste so much time."

Zhu Yu was taken aback: "Huh?"

Night Song picked up the demon sword and slammed it heavily into the ground.

"Copy Soul Skill - Zhenxun Demon Dragon Roar? 6? 8!"

The demonic sword struck the ground, triggering a powerful earthquake similar to the ability of the Tanuki Clan descendant, causing the ground to suddenly crack open in a spiderweb pattern.

The rock strata at the edge of each crack were pulverized by high-frequency vibrations, and marsh gas gushed out from the depths of the cracks and was ignited by friction. The purplish-black energy fluctuations moved forward along the trajectory of the shockwaves!

Su You's pupils contracted: "What???"

Zhu Yu, Wu Yikun, Zhiling, and the others were also stunned.

How can this Star Dragon use the power of the Ancient Tanuki Force?! ? ?
