As the days went by, the purple orchid matured . Its flowers spread open like purple butterflies, and they released a most glorious scent .

Thorn Baron confirmed that they were mature, and so Han Sen promptly put one in his mouth . An incredibly sweet nectar bathed his tongue in delightful ecstasy .

"Sacred-Blood Purple-Butterfly Orchid Consumed: Sacred-Blood Geno Points +1 . "

Han Sen was more than ecstatic, so he collected the rest and stuffed his mouth with them . By the time he was done, he had obtained seven geno points .

Thorn Baron looked at the plants with shock, almost unable to fathom how the plants had all survived their uprooting from the garden .

She found it even more difficult to believe how healthy the Flying Mushroom had become, and how it was actually growing bigger .

"How did you make this thing grow?" Thorn Baron asked .

"Oh, it's just a little something that is derived from human knowledge . But tell me, what are the chances a royal spirit will become a king spirit following the consumption of this mushroom?" Han Sen enquired .

"It is somewhere in the realm of one to ten million," Thorn Baron answered .

"You might as well have just told me there's zero chance . " Han Sen frowned .

"Even king spirit parents are not guaranteed to have a baby king spirit offspring . Believe it or not, these chances are actually decent," Thorn Baron said .

"You are a royal spirit, but you should have the genes of a king spirit . Will you have a higher chance of becoming a king spirit?" Han Sen asked .

"Are you suggesting you might give it to me?" Thorn Baron asked, with a sudden perking of her mood .

"Yes . There isn't much point in me keeping it," Han Sen coldly said .

Han Sen wanted to give it to the spirit with the greatest chance, and he thought Thorn Baron would be the best choice .

"I'm not sure the chance would increase, though . " Thorn Baron sighed .

"Well, we'll wait and see . There's still a while to go before it has fully matured . " Han Sen quite liked her, and she had always been honest . That was a big plus in his books .

Moment Queen returned from her hunt with Dragon-Blood Snake . They brought the carcasses of six mutant class creatures back with them, which, after consumption, provided Han Sen an additional thirty-five mutant geno points .

Han Sen allowed Moment Queen to remain in the shelter after that, and he himself went out to hunt next . Bao'er's gourd was good, but the creatures it absorbed seemed to disappear forever . Because of that, he did not take her with him .

The white bear was still accompanying Bao'er on a day-to-day basis, and he had swiftly become her favorite toy .

Han Sen took a vial of the bear's blood with him, in case he need it later for the hunt .

Han Sen had long since stopped the movement of the shelter, which allowed the people to become familiar with the surrounding terrain .

And on this hunt, Han Sen decided to head west .

There weren't many insects left in the vicinity, due to Bao'er's gourd absorbing much of the population . To find more, he had to walk an additional fifty miles .

To make the traversal easier, Han Sen rode his Dragon-Blood Snake . And soon after the fifty-mile mark, he did indeed start to stumble across creatures .

The first thing he found was a Tank Ant nest . He stopped right next to it .

Han Sen took out a metal straw and placed it on the corpse of a dead iron bug . Then he went into hiding .

Not long after, a few Tank Ants came marching out of their nest .

Not long after, a few Tank Ants came marching out of their nest .

Their names were quite misleading, as "Tank Ant" belied their relatively frail nature . They were red, and they were about the size of an average fist . Their shells were tough, but that was just part of dealing with ants . But regardless, they waltzed out and went straight up to the iron-bug bait .

Han Sen did not use much blood, so it was only enough to attract a few ants . This was exactly what he desired, and after the ants had arrived at the dead bug, Han Sen loosed an arrow at one of the suckers .

Pat!

The flaming arrow tore right through the body of the targeted Tank Ant .

"Mutant Creature Hunted Tank Ant killed . No beast soul gained . Consume its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly . "

The Tank Ants had come out of their hole one-by-one, in single file .

Han Sen did not decide to hunt these Tank Ants because they could provide him with decent beast souls .

He hunted them because of their nature . They always lived together, and what's more, most of the ants inside that particular ant hill were mutant class .

They were so small, Han Sen would be able to eat them quickly and increase his mutant geno point tally at a rapid pace .

The Tank Ants were very dumb, too . Even if the ants ahead of them had been killed, they fearlessly continued their single-file march .

Han Sen was overjoyed, being able to kill them in such a hassle-free manner .

It was an easy task, overall, and their mindlessness made it a simple affair .

The strongest Tank Ant Han Sen detected had only opened three of its gene locks . But with its waist as a weakness like all the rest, it was still incredibly easy to kill .

After killing twenty of them, Han Sen received a beast soul .

Eventually, though, the smell of blood faded . And when it had all disappeared, no more ants came to the surface .

Picking up the bodies of the ones he had slain, Han Sen removed their shells and built a campfire in which he could cook them .

"Ah, this is good . " Han Sen ate one and found that it tasted wonderful . The meat was crisp and surprisingly sweet .

"Mutant Tank Ant Consumed, Mutant Geno Points +1 . "

"Just a little salt is all that's needed for this delicious meat . " As Han Sen ate, though, he felt something was amiss . He was unnerved, and so he turned to scan the environment around him . Then, he caught sight of two red eyes staring at him from a nearby bush .

Quickly, he became alert . With his skills and experience, Han Sen should have known something was watching him far sooner . Whatever was watching him, it wasn't any old creature .
