After a few days of nurturing, the Purple-Butterfly Orchid had matured. Seven purple butterfly-like flowers bloomed, and they smelled very good.
Han Sen let Earl Of Thorns take a look at them, and when he was sure they were ripe, he picked one up and put it in his mouth. He felt a sweet liquid spread through his body like a spring.
"Sacred-Blood Geno Purple-Butterfly Orchid consumed. One sacred geno point gained."
Han Sen was overjoyed. He picked up all seven of the orchids and ate them one by one. He gained seven sacred geno points in total.
Thorn Baron, on the other hand, was surprised to see the plants in the garden. They were all alive, and they looked like they were growing very well.
Even the Flying Mushroom was becoming more and more plump. Thorn Baron found it hard to believe.
"How did you make them grow?" Earl Of Thorns couldn't help but ask.
"You don't understand human intelligence. Let me ask you this: what is the chance of a royal spirit becoming an King Spirit?" Han Sen pointed at the Flying Mushroom and asked Earl Of Thorns.
"One in ten million," Earl Of Thorns answered.
"That's a very low chance. It's like there is no chance at all," Han Sen said with a frown.
"Do you think it's that easy to become an King Spirit?
Even an King Spirit might not be able to become an King Spirit. One in ten million is not bad, "Earl Of Thorns said coldly.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You are just a royal spirit, but you must have inherited the genes of a king spirit, right?
If you eat the Flying Mushroom, will you have a better chance of becoming an King Spirit? "Han Sen asked Earl Of Thorns.
"You're willing to give it to me?" Earl Of Thorns looked at Han Sen with disbelief.
"If you have a high chance of leveling up, I'll give it to you. I don't need it anyway," Han Sen said coldly.
It didn't matter which spirit he fed it to, so he had to choose the one with the highest chance of leveling up. Earl Of Thorns was a good choice.
"I don't know." Earl Of Thorns sighed.
"Then let's wait and see. There's still a long way to go." Han Sen was happy with the Earl Of Thorns's attitude. At least the Earl Of Thorns wasn't trying to trick him.
Moment Queen returned from her hunt with the Dragon-Blood Snake. She brought back six mutant bugs for Han Sen. Excluding the two that were too big, there were only four left. In total, Han Sen gained thirty-five mutant geno points.
Han Sen allowed Moment Queen to stay in the shelter while he went hunting with the Dragon-Blood Snake. Bao'er's gourd was powerful, but the creatures inside were gone. So, Han Sen didn't bring her along. He didn't want her to eat all the bugs he lured there.
The white bear was left to accompany Bao'er. It was now Bao'er's toy.
Han Sen brought a few vials of the white bear's blood with him, and he wanted to find a place to draw the bugs.
Because Old Huang and the others were there, Han Sen didn't allow the shelter to move. He stopped at the edge of Thorn Forest, and he was familiar with the area.
Instead of going deeper into Thorn Forest, Han Sen headed west.
Bao'er had collected most of the bugs in the area, so it was rare to see them in the area. He had to travel a few dozen miles to hunt them.
Han Sen rode the Dragon-Blood Snake for another fifty miles before he began to see more and more bugs.
After carefully observing for a long time and slowly searching, he finally found a tank ant nest. He hurriedly stopped near the entrance of the ant nest.
After observing the terrain, Han Sen pulled out a metal tube and poured a drop of red liquid onto the body of an iron bug. Then, he took the Dragon-Blood Snake to hide in a thicket.
Not long after, Tank Ants crawled out of the nest.
The Tank Ant's name was quite intimidating, but it wasn't actually very big. It was only about the size of a fist, and its shell was incredibly hard. It crawled out of its nest and headed straight for the iron bug's corpse, which was still dripping with the white bear's blood.
Because the amount of blood the white bear had was very small, it wasn't as scary as it had been the other day. It was only able to draw the attention of the creatures nearby. When the tank ant reached the body of the iron bug, Han Sen fired an arrow at it.
Pang!
The Flame Porcupine's arrow pierced through the Tank Ant's waist, instantly killing it.
"Mutant Creature Tank Ant killed. No beast soul gained. Consume its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly."
Seeing the tank ants emerge one after another, Han Sen was overjoyed.
He chose the Tank Ant not because the body of the Tank Ant was strong, and the beast soul was not special. It was just that the armor beast soul would not be of much use to him.
The reason he chose tank ants was because they lived in groups was because there weren't many of them. The largest group of tank ants was only one hundred, and they were all mutant creatures.
Plus, they were small, so killing them would allow Han Sen to gain mutant geno points quickly.
The tank ants were not very intelligent, and they were attracted by the blood of the white bear. They didn't care if their companions were dying, and they continued to crawl towards the body of the iron bug.
Han Sen killed them one by one, and he was in a good mood.
With the blood of the white bear, it would be much easier for Han Sen to hunt the bugs. After smelling the blood of the white bear, the creatures became even more stupid, and they all rushed forward without a care for their own lives.
Tank ants were not very intelligent, and they only had two or three unlocked gene locks. They also had a weakness in the waist, so it was a pleasure to kill them.
After a short while, Han Sen killed twenty of them, and he obtained the beast soul of a tank ant. The smell of the blood was almost gone, and no more tank ants emerged from their nests.
Han Sen picked up the bodies of the twenty Tank Ants and peeled off their shells. Their jelly-like flesh was exposed. He skewered them and roasted them over the fire. They smelled delicious.
"This is some good stuff."
Han Sen took a bite, and when he did, his mouth was full of flavor. The oil seeped out of the corners of his mouth, and it was incredibly delicious.
"Mutant Creature Tank Ant eaten. One mutant geno point gained."
"As expected, this kind of tender meat doesn't need any seasoning at all. A little salt is enough. It's really the best."
As Han Sen ate the meat, his mouth was dripping with oil. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw a pair of red eyes staring at him.
Han Sen was shocked, and he put up his guard. With his ability to sense danger and presence, he was unable to detect the presence of a creature in the thicket. It was clear that this was not someone to be trifled with.
