The Unicorn was a creature located in the central region.
It was powerful and belonged to the category of tier 5 mutated creatures.
However, how could such a powerful mutated creature be eaten by the Red-scaled Fire Python?
Emerson walked toward the python with curiosity.
Looking at the Red-scaled Fire Python that had already become weak, he was still worried. Pulling out the stinger from its tail, he aimed it at its heart and smashed the stinger into its heart.
Immediately, the Red-scaled Fire Python let out a painful wail. Its huge body began to tremble violently.
After all, it was a tier 8 mutated creature. It would not die so easily.
Emerson hurriedly dodged to avoid being accidentally injured by the Red-scaled Fire Python.
Seeing the Red-scaled Fire Python struggle for a long time before collapsing to the ground, he still waited for a long time before approaching it. After that, he slowly moved toward the python with cautious.
After confirming that the Red-scaled Fire Python had truly died, a look of excitement appeared in Emerson’s eyes.
“It’s mine!”
That was a tier 8 mutated creature!
Compared to the Iron Horn Ant, eating the Red-scaled Fire Python’s meat would definitely bring a much greater increase to his genes.
Perhaps, Emerson could break through 100 points in Strength Gene and become a tier 8 genetic warrior!
Moreover, those that he could not finish could be sold in Iron City in exchange for a large amount of gold coins and other resources.
Without the slightest hesitation, Emerson started eating its flesh.
Although its flesh still contained poison, it was completely ineffective against Emerson, who possessed the creature soul of an Iron Horn Ant.
He cut off the most delicious piece of meat from the Red-scaled Fire Python and took a bite. However, he almost spat out all the Iron Horn Ants that he had eaten.
The smell was fishy and smelly. There was a sour smell in the meat too. He could not swallow it at all.
He could only start a fire and roast the meat before he consumed it.
Emerson finally knew why the taverns in Iron City sold the meat of the mutated creatures in high prices, but they were still so popular.
The taste and texture of the meat were very important.
While Emerson was roasting the meat, he also saw something that wounded the Red-scaled Fire Python.
It was indeed the horn of a Unicorn, but it was a broken horn. Moreover, it was the horn of a young Unicorn.
A young Unicorn’s strength could not reach the level of a tier 5 mutated creature. No wonder that it was devoured by the Red-scaled Fire Python.
However, Unicorns had the advantage because of their bloodline. Even though it was a cub, it still caused the Red-scaled Fire Python to suffer such serious injuries.
The reason why the Red-scaled Fire Python appeared at the outermost region of the dark forest was probably because it was being chased by the parents of the young Unicorn, which was why it ran away from its own territory.
Coincidentally, the Red-scaled Fire Python met Emerson Cole.
It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
If it had been an adult Red-scaled Fire Python, he definitely would not have survived, let alone kill it.
Then, Emerson rummaged through the Red-scaled Fire Python’s stomach for a while.
Unfortunately, the unicorn’s body had already been corroded by the Red-scaled Fire Python’s powerful acidic fluid, and it was no longer edible.
Otherwise, after fusing with the bloodline of that quasi-tier 5 mutated creature, it would definitely bring him an tremendous upgrade.
“Forget about it, I can’t be too greedy. I still have a broken horn,” Emerson said to himself.
However, this horn was already broken, and it was the horn of a cub. The value of the horn had significantly reduced.
He was already satisfied to be able to sell it for the same price as the hardest scales on the Red-scaled Fire Python.
Emerson put the meat that had been roasted into his mouth and chewed.
Through the transformation of the system, he gradually absorbed the power of the Red-scaled Fire Python.
[Red-scaled Fire Python fusion. Strength Gene: +13.]
[Red-scaled Fire Python fusion. Agility Gene: +7.]
[Red-scaled Fire Python fusion. Strength Gene: +9.]
[Red-scaled Fire Python fusion. Physical Gene: +11.]
[Red-scaled Fire Python fusion. Fire Elemental Fragment: +1.]
…
As Emerson continued to consume the meat, his body was also undergoing constant changes.
His thin and weak muscles had become thick and powerful.
His body, which had been extremely exhausted after that battle, had recovered in an instant.
The notification rang out over a dozen times until he could no longer obtain any attributes after swallowing the Red-scaled Fire Python’s meat.
Emerson immediately checked his status.
[Name: Emerson Cole
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 182
Strength Gene: 97
Agility Gene: 44
Physical Gene: 53
Elemental Gene: 0
Fire Elemental Fragment: 4]
…
The current Emerson had already become a genetic warrior.
His Strength Gene was only 3 points away from becoming a tier 8 genetic warrior.
More importantly, as long as his Agility Gene reached 50 points, he would be able to become an all-rounder tier 9 genetic warrior.
“Seems like I need to make a trip to the tavern.”
Emerson felt that if he could increase these 2 attributes, he would not need to explore the outermost region of the dark forest anymore.
“There are 4 fragments now. If the tavern has the meat of a fire-type mutated creature, I might be able to gather 10 fragments and synthesize a skill.”
Emerson muttered. Then, he began to dismantle the Red-scaled Fire Python.
The scales were the most important part He had divided the scales by quality.
The scales could be stored for a long time. The price for the scales was very high as well. However, it could not be sold in Iron City all at once.
Although Iron City had the protection of Grandpa Elrond, that was only for the mutated creatures in the dark forest.
Iron City was safe and chaotic at the same time.
The rules of Iron City were basically set by the genetic warriors.
The weak would obey the strong, and the strong would obey people who were stronger than them.
Bullying, plundering, robbing, raping, and killing were happening in Iron City all the time.
Those were common issues. Since there were no laws in Iron City, the supremacy of strength had become the only rule.
Emerson was well aware of it.
If he rashly brought the entire Red-scaled Fire Python back to Iron City, he might not survive the night.
Therefore, he could only bring the meat that would soon rot back to Iron City first. As for the bones, teeth, and scales, he would need to bury half of them as he could only keep a small part of them with him.
He looked like a hunter who sold mutated creature’s meat to a tavern.
However, even so, Emerson was still targeted by some people on his way back to Iron City.
There was a whole group of genetic warriors, a total of 4 people.
The whole group referred to the fact that everyone’s genetic attributes had reached the standard of a tier 9 genetic warrior. Furthermore, everyone had their own unique abilities, playing different roles in the group.
Strength, agility, physical, and elemental attributes. They had their own forte.
Emerson was very clear about the rules of the Iron City.
This meant that genetic warrior with elemental abilities would be much harder to deal with compared to ordinary genetic warriors.
They did not communicate a lot with Emerson. They even had a faint smile on their faces as they took the initiative to open up a path for him, appearing very friendly.
However, it was something completely impossible.
Emerson had just upgraded his genetic ability, and he had yet to report to the Iron City garrison office to test his strength and obtain his identity card.
In other words, in their eyes, Emerson was just an ordinary man. As genetic warriors, it was impossible for them to be so polite and friendly.
As expected, after Emerson had walked away from them, the sound of a gust of wind whistled from behind him!
