Super Gene - Chapter 2715

Chapter 2715: 2715

“It’s a shame I can’t go back to the sanctuaries right now . Otherwise, I could grab a creature and feed this crystal to it . Then, I could confirm that this is really the same black crystal I found a long time ago,” Han Sen said after a think .

Suddenly, Han Sen’s eyes brightened with a thought . “I don’t have access to the creatures of the sanctuary, but there are xenogeneics within range . If I grab one and use it to test the crystal, it might yield the same results . ”

Once Han Sen decided what to do, he didn’t have to go far to test his theory . He would just grab a King class Star Beetle from the Star Tree .

Han Sen arrived at the Star Tree a short time later, but after half a day of searching, he failed to find a single Star Beetle . Since Star Beetles were no longer an option, Han Sen tried to decide where else he might look .

“It looks like the Star Beetles aren’t back yet,” he murmured to himself . “I guess I will forget about continuing my search for them . ”

Han Sen jerked his head up as he noticed a presence approaching the Star Tree . When the distant figure drew closer, he recognized that it was Gru from the Extreme King .

“This is the Star Tree . Without the leader’s permission, you cannot enter here,” Han Sen said, blocking Gru’s passage .

In fact, Han Sen didn’t actually have to warn the man . There was a seal around the Star Tree already . If any creature entered the area without permission, an alarm would be triggered .

“I was looking for you at Underworld Lake,” Gru answered . “I couldn’t find you there, so I thought you might be here . It looks like I was correct . ”

“Why have you come looking for me?” Han Sen asked, keeping his face carefully neutral .

There was a deep-seated grudge between him and the Extreme King . If an Extreme King like Gru had come looking for him, that was reason enough for him to be wary .

Gru smiled . “Please don’t misunderstand me . I mean no harm . My people do have a grudge with you, but not all of us think it is a matter that must be resolved with bloodshed . ”

Han Sen knew instantly what Gru meant . There were many factions within the Extreme King . The strongest faction was the Bai family—the group led by King Bai . There was also the Bao faction, which Han Sen had recently become familiar with . They were from King Bao’s bloodline . Although they were no longer true royalty, the Bao family still had a lot of influence over the hearts and minds of the Extreme King . There were other groups in addition to those two noble factions, as well . The political situation within the Extreme King was quite complicated, and being an outsider, Han Sen had never been able to fully grasp the way things worked there .

Han Sen didn’t know which faction Gru belonged to, but it sounded as if his party had little interest in troubling Han Sen . Or at the very least, they weren’t interested in actively starting a conflict .

“What is it, then?” Han Sen had almost killed Gru in the silkworm bout . He didn’t think Gru would be generous enough to forget about all that and come over for a nice conversation .

Gru looked serious as he said, “I have found a lone primitive deified . I’m not confident in my ability to kill it by myself, so I was hoping we could kill it together . ”

“That doesn’t sound like a good idea,” Han Sen said after some hesitation .

There was absolutely no trust between the two men . And on top of that, they had been enemies the last time they met . Even if they were friendly with each other, it was always difficult for two people to decide how to split the loot obtained from slaying a deified creature .

Gru could see what Han Sen was worrying about, and so he said, “You might not believe me, but I truly mean you no harm . I actually admire you, truth be told . That’s why I am inviting you to slay a xenogeneic with me . I can’t do it myself, and I would like to see your knife skills again . I want to learn from you . In regards to the loot, that’s no cause for concern . Whatever rewards we obtain, we can split them evenly between us . Half and half . ”

Han Sen gazed at Gru without speaking . He was still hesitating .

There were outliers like Gru among the Extreme King, people who truly weren’t bothered by who Han Sen was or the things he had done . However, Han Sen had no way of finding out if Gru truly felt that way . This might be some secret ploy for revenge . If he went with Gru, he might be walking into a trap . After spending some more time thinking about it, Han Sen decided to reject Gru’s offer . “I’m sorry, but I have other things to do . I can’t go and hunt xenogeneics with you . ”

Gru looked disappointed, but he understood what Han Sen was worried about . He nodded and said, “Then I won’t try to force you to join me . If you decide that you want to hunt a xenogeneic, you can always come and find me . ”

After watching Gru take his leave, Han Sen pulled out a map of Outer Sky . The entirety of Outer Sky was far too large to be represented by such a small map, so only a small part of the domain had been drawn . It included the living quarters of the Very High, the Star Tree, and Underworld Lake . Those were places Han Sen was already familiar with .

There were some markings on it that Han Sen had never visited, though . They referred to places where scary xenogeneics could be found .

Han Sen examined the map for a while . He found a place close to the Star Tree that was called Full Moon River . He decided to go there to grab a King class xenogeneic to test the black crystal .

He had briefly considered swallowing the black crystal to test it on himself, but he had quickly concluded taking such a rash action would be foolish .

There were many scary xenogeneics in Outer Sky, but places that were close to the living spaces of the Very High only had xenogeneics that were King class and below . Full Moon River was one such place . There were no deifieds there, but the river region did contain many Kings . One of them would be perfect for Han Sen to capture and use as a test subject .

Han Sen flew in over Full Moon River, examining the area from high in the sky . The nearby terrain rolled in a series of low-lying hills that spread far away from the river .

Han Sen had only just arrived at the Full Moon River when he saw a rhino xenogeneic standing atop a cliff . The snow-white creature was staring down the ravine . Han Sen couldn’t tell what it was looking for .

Han Sen followed the beast’s gaze, but there were only clouds down below . They were too thick for anything to be seen through them .

While Han Sen was wondering what was going on, he saw some movement within the clouds . A new xenogeneic, which looked like some strange hybrid of a fish and a snake, flew out of the clouds .

The xenogeneic was like a giant snake with horns on its head . It didn’t have any claws, but wings spread from its back . It was a very odd-looking creature . When it flew out of the clouds, it screamed at the rhino that was on the cliff .

The rhino and the flying snake were soon fighting on the cliffside . Han Sen could see that neither of them was very strong . They were just second or third tier Kings . This fight wouldn’t be very interesting to watch . He planned to wait until one was injured before he picked one and conducted his test .

But after Han Sen watched them for a while, he was given a shock .

The rhino’s skin was super thick, and it had the power to petrify . It was so hard that it was like nothing Han Sen had ever seen at that level . But the weird snake’s area power was also a surprise .

The weird snake was also white . Its body wasn’t made out of the jade-like material that composed the rhino, but it glowed with some sort of blurry light . The light formed a large seal around it .

Within that seal, regardless of how much damage the rhino dealt to it, the snake could heal all wounds . In fact, its injuries closed so quickly that Han Sen could barely track the healing power with his eyes .

“There is an area power that heals?” Han Sen murmured to himself . That sort of area power was rare .

“Han Sen, why are you here?” Han Sen was continuing to focus on the fight when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone flying toward him . The figure was waving to him from afar . It was Gru, whom he had just turned away earlier .

“I’m here on business . Why are you here?” Han Sen asked .

“The deified xenogeneic I mentioned is around here . Since you said you were busy, I thought I would go and try to take it down myself . I didn’t expect to meet you here, though . What a coincidence . ” Gru smiled .
