Chapter 1721
1721 Cow Foot Valley
After half a day, the ship was still moving sluggishly along . It was slowly descending now, though, and Han Sen made sure to look out the window . The ship was in the process of landing close to a mountain .
As they got closer, Han Sen saw that they were landing in a valley . When Han Sen looked down, however, a strange sight met his eyes .
The valley was shaped like a large hoofprint, and the mountain near it had been cut at an angle of ninety degrees .
“Cow Foot Valley . There’s a xenogeneic here?” Long looked out and frowned .
“Long, you know this place?” Han Sen looked at Long . Suo Tu and Kun did so as well .
Long said, “I used to live in a city near Cow Foot Valley, and I frequently visited here . The legends say a Noble once rode a green cow here, but a xenogeneic tried to provoke the Noble . The Noble ignored the creature, and the green cow stepped on it . The xenogeneic and the mountain were crushed beneath its hoof, thus giving the valley its shape . The Noble continued on his way, atop the green cow, leaving behind a purple mist in his wake . It remained there for three days . ”
“Some villagers believe that the presence of that Noble still resides there and that the xenogeneics will never dare to go close again . Many people moved close to the valley, gathering into a town that was aptly called Cow Foot Town . It looks like the Noble isn’t able to protect them anymore, though, considering that a xenogeneic has now come . ”
Everyone sighed after hearing the story . Han Sen thought the story seemed odd, though . The Noble mentioned sounded very familiar to him . It sounded like someone from the Alliance .
The ship came to rest in the valley, and all the soldiers disembarked the airship and lined up in front of it .
Weapons like guns wouldn’t work on xenogeneics, so they were going to rely on melee weaponry . Aside from their geno armors, they were each given a shield and a metal sword . They had a flaregun on their waists, but they weren’t intended to be weapons . They were for giving a signal whenever the xenogeneic was found .
Han Sen finally saw the Black Gold hunting group’s Noble now, too . He walked toward the captain . He was a middle-aged Kate man, and his ears and tail were yellow and white .
The captain referred to him as Mister Tiger . The captain and Mister Tiger directed the team towards a nearby town .
Before Han Sen reached the entrance, he saw a few corpses scattered around a field . They were the deceased residents of the town . They were all Kate, and they were all in gristly pieces . Many had their heads wholly cut off . It was a very bloody and gruesome sight .
Han Sen examined their wounds and determined they had been killed by something’s claws .
“Nine-Life Cat said he was not welcome in the geno universe . Is he a xenogeneic, maybe?” Han Sen wondered to himself .
Han Sen didn’t think Old Cat did this, though . He didn’t seem bored enough to attack random villagers, and the claws seemed different from those he possessed .
“Follow and maintain formation!” the captain shouted, ushering them all on .
Xenogeneics powerful hunters and formidable assassins . Unless you had an advantage, finding them was impossible .
After entering the town, the entire group had goosebumps . Blood, viscera, and severed limbs were everywhere . The town was an ugly depiction of hell .
Even young toddlers had been torn apart
“D*mn!” Long shouted angrily .
Suo Tu did not say anything, but gripped his sword tight with contempt .
Han Sen could now understand the helplessness that commoners might feel when pitted against a xenogeneic . Not even geno armor could defend against their claws . Only the Noble’s could, most likely . That was common knowledge .
Mister Tiger brought them through the town, but they were unable to locate their culprit . He spoke to the captain, and the captain ordered the group to split up into smaller groups, so they could search in a variety of directions .
Mister Tiger thought the xenogeneic had to still be hiding in the valley . If that was the case, then they’d have to kill it .
Now was the time when soldiers like Han Sen came into play . Back Gold Group would use its grunts to smoke out the xenogeneic, so Mister Tiger could be the one to kill it . The soldiers were expendable .
Han Sen’s team was searching to the south-west . They maintained formation, holding their shields to the side . They approached their designated locale slowly .
None of the soldiers would risk their life for the others . The shields they used were tough, but they’d only survive a few strikes before breaking, at the most
Han Sen pulled out his Northern King Glove and put it in his pocket . His Spell geno armor was not as powerful as the glove . The glove was a geno weapon . It was a Noble’s item .
Han Sen figured it was probably low level, but he couldn’t use its full power regardless .
The soldiers continued to walk past scenes of horrific violence, but they couldn’t be distracted by the cruelty . Otherwise, they’d end up just like the townspeople .
Han Sen was very focused, and although his Dongxuan Aura could not go very far, he felt he was all-around better than the other soldiers .
Pang!
They moved forward slowly, but suddenly, there was a gunshot from the north . The wind carried the noise of gunshots and the sound of people shouting .
“Found it! Everyone head for the north-west sector . ” The communicator sounded with a voice .
The captain acknowledged, then instructed the group to turn .
But all of a sudden, Han Sen paused . He detected a shadow bolting through an alley, headed right for Suo Tu .
Suo Tu was facing the captain, so he was unaware of the shadow coming right for him .
“Careful!” Han Sen shouted . He ran in front of Suo Tu, but it was too late to pull the man away . Instead, Han Sen sent a kick into Suo Tu’s back before leaping away himself .
The black shadow went right past Han Sen and Suo Tu, almost touching them . When everyone heard it, their faces changed as they screamed, “Xenogeneic!”
