Super Gene - Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118




The lifeforce of the big fish was extremely powerful, unlike anything Han Sen had ever seen before . He had seen much during his time in the Third God's Sanctuary, but nothing was comparable to that river fiend .

Han Sen grabbed Queen and did not move a muscle . The fish in front of them might have opened ten of its gene locks, so the last thing Han Sen wanted to risk was a provocation of its ire .

Furthermore, the school of fish following it were all sacred-blood at the very least . Their numbers alone would be overwhelming .

Queen did not know how powerful the fish were, but she knew Han Sen well-enough to know he wouldn't be so alert if they were not in peril . She complied with his obvious wish and stayed absolutely still .

The fish king must not have noticed the pair, so they merrily continued upstream .

Han Sen sighed . He was going to move once the fish were gone, but there were too many of them . The fish swarmed up and down every water stream they would need to cross .

After a while of waiting, the bright skies succumbed to the onset of night .

The river was sparkling beneath the moonlight, and the fish were all glowing and red . They illuminated the river beautifully . They were still all following where the fish king had gone, and the vast number that passed by was almost unbelievable .

Bao'er was captivated by the beauty of this sight, and like always, she wanted a closer look . She climbed onto Han Sen's shoulder, and using it like a springboard, she dove directly into the river .

The lanternfish were not afraid of her . Bao'er grabbed ahold of one of them and rode its back .

The fish was not angry or disturbed, and it just gave Bao'er a merry ride . One moment it would glide through the air, the next it would be doing spins underwater . Bao'er was delightfully happy while experiencing it .

"This isn't normal . It seems to me that something's afoot; let's take a closer look and see what might happen . " Seeing Bao'er ride the fish, Han Sen wondered what the rest of the fish were all up to . He summoned Golden Growler, and with Queen, followed Bao'er and the fish upstream .

The river was completely red in their sparkling, ruby glow . If Han Sen had to wager a guess, he'd estimate there to be at least one million of the fish .



None of the fish seemed aggressive, and they didn't bother any of the creatures that could be spotted in the waters of the river, either .

Bao'er was jumping about in great merriment, hopping along the fish as if they were stepping stones . They were all still tame, none looking as if they wanted to hurt her .

Bao'er became braver and braver . When they reached the fish king, she hopped on its head repeatedly .

Han Sen sweated profusely at the sight of this . Even if it was tame and not hostile, it was common sense not to disturb such a powerful creature . You could never be too careful, and doing something that might provoke the anger of such a creature was just silly .

But, like the rest of the fish, it was uncaring . It just continued going upstream with the rest .

The further upstream they went, the steeper the trail became . It eventually took them to mountainous highlands, and so stern were the slopes, Golden Growler could barely keep up .



There was the occasional creature spotted alongside the river, but they all stayed away with the approach of the fish . They didn't seem as if they wanted to interact with them .

All creatures had territory to call their own, realms they fiercely protected and reigned over, and yet, all creatures were fine with allowing the fish to pass through unhindered . It was a strange occurrence that Han Sen had never seen before .

Han Sen eventually stood atop the peak of a mountain . In the distance, he saw a one-hundred-meter long water snake leave the river, allowing the fish to go on their way .

There was a ten-meter-long crocodile at one point, and even a toad that was carried by a toxic-looking cloud . They even passed a water dragon, which departed its waters politely, allowing uninterrupted passage for the fish .

"That fish is pretty bad-*ss . " Han Sen envied the respect the fish received .

Seeing the docility of the red lantern fish king, even with Bao'er on its head, Han Sen fancied riding one of the lesser fish .

But he wasn't Bao'er, so he wasn't sure if he could . Creatures enjoyed attacking Han Sen, but they never seemed to go for Bao'er . If Han Sen jumped onto one of the fish, they could end up killing him .

"Where are these lantern fish actually going?" They followed the river for days, alongside the fish . And still, there was no end in sight . Curiously, though, the fish were beginning to pick up the pace and start swimming a touch faster .

The fish stopped playing around eventually and just keenly followed their king . When the fish king picked up its pace, many of the smaller fish ended up getting left behind .

In the end, even Golden Growler could not keep up . And that was even after going at full speed . Golden Growler was strong, but it hadn't opened many of its gene locks . As such, despite its good speed, it wasn't as fast it could have been, and compared to the fish king, it was rather slow .

Han Sen requested Bao'er to leave the fish and come back, but she shook her head and remained on top of the fish king .

Han Sen knew something big must have been on the verge of happening, but Golden Growler was starting to lag and get left behind just like the other fish .

Han Sen told Queen, "I'll go on ahead; you follow the stream with Golden Growler . "

Han Sen stretched his Blood-Demon Dragon wings, and with his phoenix techniques, took off in a faster pursuit of the fish king . This combination allowed Han Sen to follow the fish king well, and he was no longer left behind .
