Chapter 22 Real Gene Fusion Techniques

"You said she left?" Ding Huan unconsciously repeated the question.

He sprinted all the way back to Anhe County and immediately went to the Yilan Hotel, where he learned from the reception that Qu Yi had left Anhe County at six in the morning.

Because of the mutated golden-faced thick-tailed monkey, Ding Huan arrived here after eight in the morning.

Leaving the Yilan Hotel, Ding Huan immediately planned to buy a ticket to Pujiang.

Even if Qu Yi didn't believe in his Genetic Potion now, he still needed to figure out where her family was.

According to his memory, Qu Yi had only four to five months left before the Genetic Alliance would take her for experimentation.

Wait...

Four to five months? Wasn't that exactly after the enrollment assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges?

The recruitment assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges was less than three months away, and if Qu Yi was taken away after the assessments, conducting gene experiments on her within four to five months was entirely plausible.

The Blue Star Ten Great Colleges' enrollment would definitely have a small say from the Genetic Alliance.

After all, the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges were jointly established by over a hundred countries globally, the Martial Arts Alliance, and the Genetic Alliance.

Qu Yi said she was going to Pujiang to check it out, that is a hundred percent for attending the enrollment assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.

If he went to Pujiang now and found Qu Yi, would she believe him and agree to integrate the Genetic Potion he provided as a stranger?

Since Qu Yi definitely wouldn't integrate the Genetic Potion he offered, there was no need for him to go to Pujiang first.

He would stick to the original plan to look for the Fire Lizard and then return to Lu River City to produce the Genetic Potion.

Once he finished producing the Genetic Potion, he would head to Pujiang ahead of schedule.

At least until then, Qu Yi was safe.

...

The journey from Anhe County to Lujiang City required a transfer.

The wilderness was very unsafe now, with many uninhabited areas between Anhe County and Lujiang City, and these places were dominated by Genetic Beasts.

Usually, the vehicles running these routes would stop operating at night.

Ding Huan bought his ticket in time and arrived in Lujiang City by evening.

Originally, Ding Huan planned to rest in Lujiang City for a night and then go out to look for the Fire Lizard the next day.

But upon arriving in Lujiang City, he realized he had underestimated others.

In Lujiang City, there was no need to go out to search for Fire Lizards; they could be directly purchased.

Here, shops selling Fire Lizards were almost everywhere, and the prices were very cheap.

Whether you wanted dried or live Fire Lizards, you could buy them here.

Moreover, they even sold Fire Lizards from Central Europe here, though they were much more expensive.

After making some inquiries, Ding Huan understood why.

Currently, Fire Lizards could be used in medicine, providing strong vein fortification and healing effects for Martial Artists. Moreover, various gene laboratories also needed them.

Ding Huan spent over a hundred Alliance dollars and easily purchased several live Fire Lizards.

"Friend, the quality of these Fire Lizards you've bought is average, I have Six-Horned Fire Lizards..."

Seeing the cage of Fire Lizards in Ding Huan's hand, a street vendor quickly pitched his goods.

Six-Horned Fire Lizard?

"Let me take a look." Ding Huan stopped, and indeed saw several Six-Horned Fire Lizards on the vendor's stall.

"This one has a pretty decent size," Ding Huan was quite pleased.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, the vendor chuckled, "My Fire Lizards are all wild-caught; most of yours are farmed."

"You caught them yourself?" This surprised Ding Huan.

The vendor proudly declared, "Anyone who knows me, Liu, knows my Fire Lizards are caught from Penglu Mountain. Even people from the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges have bought Fire Lizards from me."

"Impressive, those who can go to Penglu Mountain to catch Fire Lizards are no ordinary folks; the Genetic Beasts in Penglu Mountain don't recognize anyone."

Ding Huan commented casually, planning to buy another one from the vendor.

Ding Huan's praise was genuine, considering that Penglu Mountain had many Genetic Beasts, daring to catch wild Fire Lizards certainly required considerable skills.

The vendor excitedly shared, "Genetic Beasts are one thing, but I even saw a Two-Horned Fire Lizard on Penglu Mountain last time.

Honestly, I've lived so many years and never saw a Two-Horned Fire Lizard that was one meter long."

"Two-Horned Fire Lizard? One meter long?" Ding Huan's eyes immediately lit up.

This was definitely a top-quality Mutated Fire Lizard; it was said that Fire Lizards had a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline, specifically that of a dragon.

In Ding Huan's mind, the image of a one-meter long Two-Horned Fire Lizard appeared naturally, which was an ancestral mutation species containing the Divine Beast Bloodline.

"It's absolutely true, maybe even more than one meter, I saw it with my own eyes. But that's a Mutated Fierce Beast, I ran as soon as I saw it." The vendor swore on his words.

"Oh, then I'll take one of your Six-Horned Fire Lizards." Ding Huan didn't continue to inquire but bought a Six-Horned Fire Lizard.

If he wasn't in a rush to head to Pujiang, Ding Huan would have liked to enter Penglu Mountain to search for the Two-Horned Fire Lizard.

One could imagine that such Two-Horned Fire Lizards were not easy to find.

Even if he were to look for it, he could only wait until he saw Qu Yi again. He couldn't put her in danger because of his own actions.

Ding Huan stayed in Lujiang for one night and returned to Lu River on the third day.

Geng Qianxing and his group were still frantically practicing the Qian Luo genetic techniques and basic boxing; upon Ding Huan's return, no one even knew.

Ding Huan went straight to the gene laboratory without even taking a rest.

If it weren't for Tan Bei, the president of Yujiang University, craving for someone to represent the school in successfully getting into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, he probably would have sold the laboratory long ago.
