Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 867 - 865: Milk Popsicles (3rd Update)

"Dead?"

Long Aotian looked shocked.

Although he had vaguely guessed this possible outcome, once it was confirmed, he still found it hard to accept.

When on the Purple Origin Star, he never faced Yang Xiao in combat, nor had he seen Yang Xiao fight. Yang Xiao was more of a commander figure, relying on Wisdom rather than his own martial power.

Long Aotian always thought Yang Xiao’s personal Combat Power was quite average. After all, he hadn’t broken through to the Empire Level, making him seem insignificant in Long Aotian’s eyes. That’s why he sent Xue Gang and five others to hunt down Yang Xiao.

He even felt that sending five Empire Level guards to hunt Yang Xiao was already giving him face.

However, things went contrary to his expectations.

Long Aotian paused for a moment and asked:

"Did you check the scene and see the bodies? How did they die?"

"I personally went to the scene. It’s about twenty or thirty kilometers outside Dragon City to the east suburb. There were two battle sites. Xue Gang and one guard died in one site, and another guard died in the second site,

all three died terribly. Xue Gang was cut in half, decapitated, one guard was slashed across half his body,

and the third guard died even more horribly,"

Long Hao paused and looked at Long Aotian.

"How horrific was it?"

"The third guard was crushed into a meat patty, completely shattered, with dozens of pieces of flesh scattered around."

As Long Hao described this, he was extremely terrified. He saw the trench over a hundred meters long and ten meters deep at the site and couldn’t imagine what means Yang Xiao, an Evolver who hadn’t broken through the Empire Level, could have used to create such a gruesome scene.

Long Aotian closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and sat back down, picking up a cup of wine and drinking it all at once.

Now that it had happened, he calmed down. For Long Aotian, he had experienced many big events, and this was nothing.

"Long Hao, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, I inspected the bodies of Xue Gang and one of the guards, and they seem to have been killed by an extremely formidable Weapon. If I’m not mistaken, it belongs to at least a third-level Magic Killing Long Sword."

Long Aotian nodded,

"Hmm, that would explain why Yang Xiao was able to defeat Xue Gang. Yang Xiao should now be at the King Level Peak Realm. If he possesses a third-level Magic Killing Long Sword, ambushing in the dark, he could still pose a threat to Xue Gang,

Yang Xiao is the leader of the wild tribe on Purple Origin Star, and they once ambushed and killed the Youming Empire’s General Qiu Feng. General Qiu Feng had a two-star Divine Weapon, the Green Dragon Long Sword, which disappeared after his death,

It seems now that this two-star Divine Weapon must have ended up in Yang Xiao’s hands. That explains why Yang Xiao could kill Xue Gang,

A two-star Divine Weapon can instantly kill an Empire Level Evolver."

"Ah!"

Long Hao exclaimed and said,

"Your Highness, I sent over a hundred guards to pursue Yang Xiao towards the city outskirts. Could it be dangerous, given he has a two-star Divine Weapon?"

Long Aotian nodded and said,

"Take my Token immediately, find the War God, and mobilize two hundred elite guards to support. As soon as there is news, send someone to inform me,

Remember, see him alive or see his body dead, do not let Yang Xiao escape."

"Yes."

Long Hao mobilized two hundred elite guards and headed to the outskirts of Dragon City to search for Yang Xiao.

He also brought ten warships to provide aerial support,

Simultaneously, he ordered every small town along the way to watch for Yang Xiao’s whereabouts.

Yang Xiao’s name was immediately put on a wanted list distributed to dozens of nearby towns.

To prevent panic, a wanted notice was not posted inside Dragon City for Yang Xiao.

In Long Aotian’s view, it was entirely unnecessary to issue a warrant inside Dragon City, as Yang Xiao would definitely not dare stay there and must have already hidden in the nearby forest, fleeing far away.

...

Elder Zhan sold Yang Xiao’s Weapons at the Genetic Store for eight thousand Crystal Coins and bought about two hundred Crystal Coins’ worth of raw materials before heading home.

Yang Xiao used to love eating ice cream on Earth, eating it not only in summer but also in winter.

His mother thought the ice cream outside contained too many artificial flavors and colors, belonging to junk food that was bad for health, so she often made ice cream for Yang Xiao.

Over time, Yang Xiao learned some simple ice cream-making methods himself.

The usual popsicles made with boiled water in the freezer are very hard and have a bad texture. A secret is adding milk.

Adding milk, preferably yogurt, to sugar water makes the popsicles much softer.

If you add some cooked beans, the texture is even better.

To make better-tasting ice cream, you need to add egg yolks, whisk them into foamy egg sauce, mix with milk, cook, cool, and then freeze shortly.

Once frozen, you can add various fresh chopped fruits to it, making it taste exceptionally good.

Yang Xiao decided to start with something simple.

Elder Zhan and Bing’er gathered around the table, watching Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao took a bowl and poured in milk and honey, mixing them together.

He extended his right hand, releasing a white frost, enveloping the entire bowl.

Yang Xiao’s Ice Magic power was naturally much more profound than Elder Zhan’s.

Elder Zhan and Bing’er immediately felt the room temperature drop and couldn’t help but shiver.

A moment later, Yang Xiao ceased the frost.

The bowl and the table were completely frozen together, and the liquid milk and honey inside were frozen solid.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and quickly used Fire Magic, a small flame danced at his fingertips, swiftly circling around the ice bowl.

The ice outside the bowl melted instantly.

Yang Xiao demonstrated two Elemental Skills at once, astonishing Elder Zhan and Bing’er.

"Yang, Zhan Mu, how high is your Genetic Evolution Realm?"

"Uncle, you’re amazing!"

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and said:

"I haven’t even broken through the Empire Level Realm yet, I’m far from being formidable. Here, try the ice cream I made."

Yang Xiao picked up the ice bowl, inverted it onto a plate, and let the ice block slip out.

He extended his finger, using Inner Strength to trace a simple cross on the ice block, which instantly split into four pieces. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

This Ancient Martial Art feat with a flower-picking technique left Elder Zhan and Bing’er in awe, drawing applause.

With a slight move of his Divine Sense, a piece of milk ice cream floated up and flew to Bing’er’s mouth.

Bing’er opened her mouth wide, took a big bite, and found it much softer than the usual ice blocks, with a good texture, praising it.

"Good, really good, grandpa, try it."

Elder Zhan took a piece, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

This was his first time eating ice made from milk; although it was just simple milk and honey, the taste was unique, with a great texture, better than the sugar water he’d made.

"Hmm, not bad, Zhan Mu, your ice cream is indeed special, I think the adults and children in the slums will love it."
