The cave was small, so Han Sen had to crawl forward on all fours. He hid his presence and crawled a hundred meters forward. He was nearing the end of the cave, and the pangolin was still digging.
"What is this guy trying to do?"
Han Sen observed for a while, and noticed that the pangolin was digging very quickly. It seemed to be digging towards the cave that the ant king was guarding.
"It looks like the ant king is not guarding that cave by accident. There must be something inside. But what could it be?
I can't believe the pangolin is watching me. "Han Sen watched from afar as the pangolin continued to dig.
Not long after, a crashing sound was heard as the pangolin dug through the cave. The pangolin immediately drilled into the adjacent cave.
Han Sen quickly summoned his peacock crossbow and loaded it with raven feathers. Then, he crawled towards the hole he had dug. He didn't care about the rocks and rocks that littered the ground around him.
When Han Sen saw what was inside the cave, his mouth dropped open. He was unable to react for a while.
It was a giant cave that looked like a warehouse. White eggs the size of ping pong balls were scattered all over the ground. Clearly, they were the eggs of the Subterranean Ants.
The creature that looked like a pangolin was eating the ant eggs happily.
Han Sen jumped out of the cave and scared the pangolin. The pangolin turned around and looked at Han Sen with caution, but it did not attack Han Sen immediately.
Han Sen aimed his peacock crossbow at the pangolin. He was a bit nervous, as the pangolin was a bit strange. He did not know what it was, and his body was weak. He did not want to act rashly.
The man and the beast suddenly came to a stalemate, as if they both had misgivings. The pangolin's small eyes rolled around, and it actually stood up like a human, its front paw pointing outside the cave.
Han Sen immediately understood what it meant. It was saying that the ant king was outside, and they should not disturb it.
"This guy's intelligence is no worse than the fox king in the First God's Sanctuary." Han Sen looked at the pangolin strangely.
The pangolin pointed at the ant eggs on the ground with its claws, and then at Han Sen and itself. It looked very strange.
But Han Sen understood what it meant. It was saying that there were a lot of ant eggs on the ground, and that they should eat their own and not get in each other's way.
Han Sen stared at the pangolin and slowly moved the peacock crossbow away from it. The pangolin then laid down on the ground and continued to eat the white ant eggs.
Han Sen did not trust the pangolin completely, so he kept an eye on it and looked at the ant eggs on the ground.
There were many ant eggs, and they all looked the same. They were all translucent and milky white. They were the size of ping pong balls, and Han Sen could not tell the difference.
But Han Sen knew there had to be a difference. In the real world, ant eggs were produced by the ant queen, but these ants were different.
If the eggs were laid by the Devilish Ant King, they should have been super creatures. But there were tens of thousands of them. If they were all super creatures, the Devilish Ants would have conquered the whole of the Second God's Sanctuary a long time ago. No one would be able to fight such a race.
So, even if these eggs were produced by the ant king, they could not all be super creatures. There had to be a difference.
Han Sen stepped on a Devil Ant egg and crushed it.
"Mutant Creature Hunted: Baby Subterranean Devil Ant. No beast soul gained. Eat its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly."
"I knew it. These aren't super creatures."
Han Sen stepped on a few more eggs. There were primitive and mutant ones, but sacred-blood ones were very rare.
Obviously, it was impossible to tell the level of the Demonic Ant Eggs from the unhatched eggs here.
The pangolin could not tell, either. That was why it kept eating. Sometimes, it was hesitant, and it seemed to be looking for a high-level egg. It might even be looking for a super creature egg.
Han Sen bent down, grabbed one of the eggs, and started to examine it closely.
There were so many eggs, and he could not eat them like the pangolin. He had to find a way to tell if they were super creature eggs.
These eggs were translucent and very elastic when pinched in the hand. They felt a little like jelly, but more elastic than jelly.
They were the size of ping pong balls, and they were oval-shaped. There was no strange smell, and they were very refreshing. Han Sen looked inside and saw that they were translucent and milky white. He could not see any special markings.
Han Sen looked at a few more eggs, but they were all the same. He could not tell what level they were.
The ants were smart, though. With so many eggs together, it was impossible to tell where the super creature eggs were.
But to Han Sen, it wasn't impossible. He couldn't tell just by looking at the outside. Even the pangolin, which had eaten countless ants, couldn't tell.
Looking at the way it was picking left and right, it was clear that this fellow couldn't figure out what was going on. From time to time, it would put it into its mouth and try, but sometimes it would spit it out. It seemed that it was also trying and searching.
Han Sen opened his first gene lock with the Dongxuan Sutra, and with his dongxuan aura, Han Sen was able to sense the lifeforces of the eggs.
Although it was still in egg form, there was still a slight difference. A super creature was still a super creature, and even in egg form, its lifeforce was still stronger than an ordinary egg.
Han Sen quickly scanned the large number of Demon Ant eggs. Soon, he found a Demon Ant egg that had a stronger lifeforce than the others nearby.
Han Sen walked over to it and crushed it. Then, he heard an announcement in his head.
"Sacred-Blood Creature Hunted: Subterranean Devil Ant Baby. No beast soul gained. Eat its flesh to gain zero to ten sacred geno points randomly."
"It is as I expected. This is a sacred-blood class egg."
Han Sen put the crushed egg into his mouth. It tasted very good, and there was a light freshness to it. It tasted like shrimp, but there was no fishy taste to it.
Han Sen used his ability to sense lifeforces and continued to search the cave. Not long after, he found three sacred-blood class eggs.
Suddenly, a lifeforce that looked like a star in the night appeared in Han Sen's aura. This lifeforce was much stronger than the sacred-blood class demon ant eggs that Han Sen had picked up.
"Found it!" Han Sen was happy. He walked over and picked up the egg.
