Han Sen didn't expect anything to happen, though. It was as if the New Community had forgotten all about it.
Entering the shelter again, Han Sen noticed he couldn't use the Crystal Armor there. Even if he wore it, the connection between Han Sen and the armor would be severed. He wouldn't be able to use its power.
"The Crystal Armor is so powerful, but it's still restricted by the shelter. What kind of place is the shelter?" Han Sen thought to himself.
Han Sen gave up on using the Crystal Armor to make a name for himself in the shelter. Instead, he focused on leveling up.
Han Sen's four geno cores were now silver geno cores. But aside from the Crystal Core, the other three had yet to be tested.
The Crystal Core had been in first place, but because Han Sen hadn't returned for ten years, it hadn't been able to accept any challenges. So, it was now out of the top ten thousand.
Han Sen wanted to level up his geno cores. Once he strengthened them nine times, he'd be able to use the Gold Geno Core Lights he had obtained to level them all up to Gold class.
But before Han Sen could enter the Geno Core Storage, Ling Mei 'er called for him. Ling Mei' er had been preparing to leave Dark Spirit Shelter for a few days, but she wanted to wait for Han Sen to return. So, when Han Sen arrived, she came looking for him.
Han Sen had no choice but to follow Ling Mei 'er back to Mask Shelter. Little Uncle followed them.
"I don't think it's going to be a peaceful journey."
After leaving Dark Spirit Shelter, Han Sen wondered what Spirit Thirteen was up to. If he had sent Little Uncle there, there had to be something big going on.
But Han Sen didn't understand. With Snake King there, Spirit Thirteen couldn't threaten Ling Mei 'er. What was he planning?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Han Sen's mind. "Is Spirit Thirteen really after me?"
Han Sen thought it was possible. "Spirit Thirteen didn't want to kill Ling Mei 'er. He needed her to improve the genes of his offspring. So, he only wanted to kill people like us.
He must have sent my uncle here to get rid of me. "
Thinking of this, Han Sen felt relieved. He had a God geno core, so even if Spirit Thirteen summoned a super creature, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
The three of them followed Snake King back to Mask Shelter. As they walked, they noticed there were many ants in the caverns around them.
These ants were naturally not ordinary ants. Each of them was the size of a small dog. Their bodies were as red as fire, as if they were burning with flames.
"Strange. Why are there so many Bloodthirsty Ants here?" Ling Mei 'er frowned as she looked at the ants.
"Sure enough, they came."
Han Sen laughed coldly. He didn't know what Spirit Thirteen had done to attract the ants, but he knew he was behind it.
Han Sen asked Ling Mei 'er about the Bloodthirsty Ants, and when he heard what she said, he was shocked.
Ordinary Bloodthirsty Ants were only primitive, but there were many of them. Mutant and sacred-blood Bloodthirsty Ants were often seen.
If there was a King of the Ant Colony, it could be a super creature.
The geno cores of Bloodthirsty Ants were their blood. When they entered Bloodthirsty mode, their speed and power would be greatly increased. Even their shell's defense would be enhanced. They were very difficult creatures to deal with.
But there was one thing that made Han Sen happy. The Bloodthirsty Ant's beast soul was a pattern, and it could increase the fitness of its user.
But their geno cores were difficult to obtain. Killing them was like destroying their blood, and the geno cores were usually lost.
"Spirit Thirteen is playing big this time. With Little Uncle here, there's a 90% chance the King of the Ant Colonies will come."
Han Sen wasn't afraid, though. He was actually looking forward to it. "If we're lucky, perhaps we can get a super beast soul."
They kept walking, and more and more Bloodthirsty Ants appeared. At first, they were just watching them from afar, but after a while, some of them started to come after them.
Han Sen killed a few Bloodthirsty Ants that came after him. They were all primitive class, so he wasn't able to obtain a beast soul or a geno core.
But the blood made the ants even more ferocious. Many of the Bloodthirsty Ants came out of their holes and headed straight for Han Sen. Their eyes were red, and they looked like demons waiting to devour their prey.
The three of them were surrounded by the ants. Fortunately, aside from Little Uncle, Han Sen and Ling Mei 'er were gemstone class. The ants were ferocious, but they weren't much of a threat.
The more Bloodthirsty Ants they killed, the more Bloodthirsty Ants they attracted. It was as if there was no end to them.
In the beginning, there were only primitive ants, but as more and more mutant and sacred-blood creatures showed up, they couldn't kill them all.
"Let's run," Ling Mei 'er said. "There are too many Bloodthirsty Ants. We can't kill them all. My power is going to run out sooner or later." She continued to kill the ants as she spoke.
"There's no need to rush. Let's wait." Han Sen didn't want to run.
Han Sen knew that there was no point in running away now. With Little Uncle here, the ants would still follow them, and there would only be more and more of them.
Just as they were talking, they suddenly saw a huge dark red ant the size of a bull crawl out from a nearby cave.
"Oh, no! It's the Bloodthirsty Ant King!" Ling Mei 'er saw the giant ant, and her face changed.
The black and white Snake King, who had been coiled up in front of them, saw the giant ant approach. It picked Ling Mei 'er up and ran towards Mask Shelter, ignoring Han Sen and Wang Yuhang.
"Sh * t! What's wrong with that snake? Why is it so stubborn?" Wang Yuhang wanted to curse.
In a cave, Spirit Thirteen and Spirit Twelve watched Han Sen and Wang Yuhang from afar. Spirit Thirteen said, "It's a shame Dollar isn't here. If he was, we'd be able to kill him, too."
"Take it slow. Ling Mei 'er's hateful companions and that female spirit must be dealt with," Spirit Twelve said coldly.
When Han Sen saw the ant king, he was not shocked. In fact, he was happy. He grabbed Wang Yuhang and put him under his armpit. Then, he leaped onto the backs of the ants and ran towards the cave.
"Little Uncle, shout and draw them over," Han Sen said to Wang Yuhang as he ran.
