Chapter 899 Taming the Wind Beas (2/2)

”Let me scout the vicinity out first. If I can confirm it to be a safe enough area for us to venture there together, I will bring you there,” Han Sen said.

Qu Lanxi said, ”Then you will be risking it all, all by yourself. How can we sit idly by, while you risk life and limb for us? I can't let you go there alone, it wouldn't be right.”

”Then let us all go there together!” Chu Ming said, firming his jaw.

Qu Lanxi shook her head and said, ”No, you should stay here and take care of the garden. If we emerge from Thorn Forest without the rewards we seek, this will be our backup.”

Chu Ming looked as if he wanted to say something more, but she cut off whatever he was about to say. ”My powers are best put to use in Thorn Forest. Don't complain or try to stop me; I am going.”

Chu Ming's mouth just hung open, and he did not say anything. Although he did not express it, he seemed to agree with what she had said.

Han Sen was curious as to what power she was referring to. He only knew Chu Ming had certain fire abilities, but Qu Lanxi was still a bit of an enigma to him.

Regardless of what powers she had, though, she had only opened her first gene lock. Han Sen didn't believe she could help out much, in their time there. He would have bid for her to remain at the house, but she was too stubborn, and he knew it would be futile to protest her accompaniment.

It was far more difficult for humans to open gene locks than it was for creatures. Surpasser humans traditionally only had a fitness level of three hundred. Unless you were super talented, opening a second gene lock would be next to impossible.

According to the Alliance's research, the ordinary fitness of a human allowed for only one opened gene lock for every three hundred fitness.

That meant humans required a fitness of six hundred to open their second gene lock.

But for surpassers, reaching a fitness level of six hundred wasn't easy.

One hundred normal geno points could increase a person's fitness by one hundred. One hundred ordinary geno points could increase a person's fitness by two hundred.

That meant a surpasser would have to max out both their normal geno points and ordinary geno points to reach a fitness level of six hundred and open their second gene lock.

If they were lucky, they could gain mutant geno points and sacred-blood geno points. If they did, opening gene locks would be easier.

One hundred mutant geno points could supply a person four hundred additional levels of fitness. Maxing out sacred-blood geno points increased a person's fitness by eight hundred. As for super geno points? No one knew.

Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming had only maxed out their normal geno points. They did not have many ordinary geno points, and so it didn't seem likely they had opened their second gene locks.

Han Sen had an advantage over them. His dongxuan aura had already almost reached the second tier, and it wouldn't be long before he could unlock it.

”Don't worry, I may have only opened my first gene lock, but I won't slow you down. I'll prove more useful than you might expect,” Qu Lanxi said.

”Do you mind telling me what powers you have?” They were about to venture into a realm where the possibility of death resided behind every corner; he had no choice but to ask.

”Scent. My power is that of scent,” Qu Lanxi said.

”Scent? What kind of power is that?” Han Sen looked shocked, having never heard of this before.
