Chapter 2357: 2357
Because Han Sen was uncertain of Miss Mirror’s ultimate goal, he didn’t dare take any obvious risks . He remained on Planet Water Zone and spent his time hunting down Duke xenogeneics . He wanted to fill up his Duke genes .
Han Sen found a few Duke xenogeneics, killed them, and consumed their Duke genes . Their xenogeneic genes increased his Duke gene tally by one point each, so leveling up was a very slow process . It wasn’t as fast as eating one King xenogeneic gene to claim ten Duke gene points .
He didn’t want to cause much of a ruckus . He needed to be patient and slowly trawl through Planet Water Zone in the hunt for Duke xenogeneics .
“What is this?” Han Sen came across a little mountain moving across the bottom of the sea . It slid forward at a very slow pace, but Han Sen could tell that it really was moving .
When Han Sen rode the blood kirin down to get a better look, he realized that it wasn’t actually a mountain . It was a conch . The shell was one hundred meters tall . It was black and greyish, and it looked like stone from a distance .
Beneath the conch, the white skirt of the conch was revealed . It was slowly flapping and moving across the sand .
Feeling Han Sen and the blood kirin draw near, the mountainous conch moved its flesh and released a blue light . It covered an area of one thousand meters, cloaking Han Sen and the blood kirin at the same time .
The blood kirin was angered . His blood air exploded out from him as he thundered toward the sea conch .
Han Sen didn’t know what the sea conch’s area did . It didn’t seem to affect Han Sen directly . The blood kirin soon came before the sea conch, though, with that blood air swirling all around him .
The sea conch retreated back into its shell as the blood kirin’s claws skittered across the hard surface of the shell, leaving some scratch marks across it .
The blood kirin roared in fury . It kept swinging its claws at the conch, trying to break through the shell . But despite its strength, the blood kirin couldn’t leave behind anything more than light scratches . The conch shell was one hundred meters tall, so those scratches were inconsequential .
“A King class xenogeneic?” Han Sen was delighted by this discovery . If its shell was that sturdy, the creature must have been King class . A weak King class, judging by its fleshy body, but a King class nonetheless .
The blood kirin continued striking the shell, but each blow left less and less of a mark . It was rather confusing to Han Sen .
Han Sen pulled out his Ghost Teeth Knife and swiped across the shell . It did nothing, and his performance paled in comparison to the blood kirin’s .
Han Sen frowned . He pulled out his Thunder God Spike, summoned its lightning, then thrust it toward the sea conch’s shell . He wanted to paralyze the beast . After that, he could flip it on its back and slay it from below .
But the creature’s shell seemed to insulate it perfectly from the lightning of the Thunder God Spike . That made Han Sen raise an eyebrow . “This guy’s shell is really hard . But it is so big . I bet it would make an amazing armor . ”
The shell was far too large to be used for a single set of armor . Still, it would make an excellent construction material for something larger .
Before Han Sen could make something out of it, though, he first had to kill it . He tried all sorts of different powers, but his strongest attack could only deliver a mark that was a few inches across . It had no effect on the sea conch .
“Let’s flip it!” Han Sen called to the blood kirin . Gathering their strength, they turned the sea conch over . After flipping it, though, they realized it was sealed on the bottom . There was no way in . The opening was blocked by the same material that composed the rest of the shell .
As they looked over the creature again, Han Sen and the blood kirin realized that the marks they had left on its shell had vanished . Their efforts had been wasted .
“This isn’t right . This guy probably has a third-tier area . How else could the conch shell be so hard? Even the blood kirin, with an attack at full power, only leaves a small mark…” Han Sen looked around at the blue lights of the area that was all around . “How does this conch have such a powerful king area?”
They had been there for a long time, but the blue light hadn’t done any damage to Han Sen or the blood kirin . It certainly wasn’t meant as an attack .
“Is this a weakening area, perhaps?” Han Sen considered the possibility, but it didn’t seem quite right .
If it was a weakening area, he should have been able to feel his own power losing strength . Han Sen wasn’t sensing any energy drain, though; his body was full of vigor .
“If it isn’t a weakening type, then could it be a cell-strengthening type? Does the blue light increase the shell’s strength?” Han Sen stroked his jaw as he thought about this, but he ultimately discarded this idea as well .
If it was a cell-strengthening area, the sea conch wouldn’t have needed to release the light into such a large area . The wider the area, the more spread out the power would be . The cell-strengthening area would only be required around the shell itself . Why would the creature need to extend its reach so far?
“If it isn’t a weakening or a cell-strengthening area, what is it?” Han Sen stared at the sea conch as he mulled over the conundrum .
The blood kirin had a short temper, and its inability to damage the sea conch’s shell was making the blood kirin more and more furious . It kept trying to bite the shell, but nothing worked . The marks they left were becoming lighter and lighter .
“Hang on… The blood kirin’s power hasn’t weakened . In fact, his anger has made him even stronger . Why are his scratch marks becoming lighter?” Han Sen stared at the scratch marks on the conch shell . After a while, his eyes sparkled . “Is his area power…”
Han Sen swam next to the conch shell and stroked the scratch marks across its surface . The blood kirin stopped attacking .
Not long after, the scratch marks were gone . The healing unfolded before their eyes .
If even a top-class half-deified creature like the blood kirin couldn’t break the conch’s shell, then the shell was unbelievably hard .
Han Sen didn’t think that the strength was coming from the material of the shell, though . The conch shell was very hard, but its incredible resistance was because of the creature’s King area .
Han Sen didn’t know if his guess was correct, so after a moment of thought, he took the blood kirin and left . They departed the sea conch’s area of blue light .
The sea conch behaved as if it knew what they were doing . It spread the blue light further, but the max range was two thousand meters . It couldn’t extend the light beyond that .
When Han Sen and the blood kirin got far enough away that the sea conch couldn’t feel their presence, they hid behind a big rock, Han Sen used his Purple-Eye Butterfly to observe the sea conch in the distance .
The sea conch waited there for a while . It must have been almost half an hour before the creature emerged from the shell to look around . After a while, when it didn’t see Han Sen and the blood kirin in the vicinity, it shut off its blue light .
Upon seeing that, Han Sen summoned Spell . He turned her into a sniper rifle and took aim at the sea conch .
Pang!
Without hesitation, Han Sen squeezed the trigger . The bullet fired out of the barrel and broke through the water . It was silently headed for the sea conch .
