Chapter 596 Silver Ladybug Mother (2/2)

The evolvers out on the road would always allow Han Sen to pass, and many would greet him as courteously as they could. They'd also make sure to pay their respects to the silver fox.

”That is the pet that killed the guy with an unlocked gene lock.”

”It looks so... ordinary. Who would have thought it possessed so much power?”

”Aww, it's so cute! I really want one.”

…

Han Sen was holding the silver fox when he passed through the gate, but when he approached the ladybugs, they did not disappear underground. There was a dizzying amount of them, squirming and shimmering like a lake of molten silver.

But as Han Sen drew nearer, the presence of the silver fox eventually came to their attention. When it did, some ran away, whereas others burrowed underground as quickly as they could.

These silver beetles were very strange. You wouldn't receive an announcement when you killed one, there was no way to obtain a beast soul from them, and their carcasses simply decomposed without providing any meat for consumption.

It was the vast number of them that was most curious, though. It would seem no matter how many you killed, they'd always come back.

Han Sen held the silver fox and ran around the area in a loop. Wherever he went, the silver beetles would disappear, but whenever he left and later returned, they'd be back.

Han Sen summoned Princess Yin's spirit, bringing her pretty shadow to life in front of him. He pointed towards the silver beetles and asked, ”What's the deal with these silver beetles?”

Princess Yin moved her pretty eyes and said, ”They are not exactly 'creatures.'”

”Well, if they are not creatures... what are they?” Han Sen frowned as he enquired. After all, how could the creatures inside the shelters not be creatures?

”They would best be described as 'weapons,'” Princess Yin said.

”Give me the details.” Han Sen was quite curious about this revelation, so he pressed further.

Princess Yin then explained, ”There is a Silver Beetle Mother somewhere underground, and she can constantly reproduce the smaller bugs that you see here. But they're not offspring or babies in the traditional sense, they're more like weapons.”

Han Sen now understood why killing them was so useless; the actual creature they sought resided underground!

”Is the Silver Beetle Mother a sacred-blood creature?” Han Sen asked.

”Yes,” Princess Yin confirmed.

Han Sen looked around, and said while furrowing his brow, ”Where can she be found?”

”I am unable to control it, as I once could. Therefore, I do not know. As a rough approximation of their burrowed depths, they usually live around five hundred meters underground.”

”Five hundred meters?!” Han Sen's eyebrows went even tighter. There was no way he would be able to drill five hundred meters underground to fight a sacred-blood Silver Beetle Mother.

But if he did not kill it, it would cost a lot of resources to have people remove their presence, day-in, day-out. And Han Sen would be the one paying the most; therefore, he did not want that.

”It is not difficult to kill the Silver Beetle Mother. In fact, if I had my sister, we could do it together ourselves,” Yin fluttered her beautiful eyes.

”This is awesome.” Han Sen did not think twice and immediately summoned Princess Yang.

The beautiful twins, one with silver hair and the other with gold hair, appeared in front of him. Han Sen could not help but gulp as he witnessed their presence before him, side-by-side. It was a gorgeous sight to behold.
