Chapter 1190 Asura Betrayal (1/2)
While Han Sen was flying back, someone called out his name. When he turned around to take a look, he saw an eight-year-old child squirming and writhing around on the ground as if in pain.
”Baby Ghost?” Han Sen was surprised to see him there.
He was glad he was alive and had not been killed. He didn't have any green sproutlings popping up all over him, but there was definitely something wrong with him.
He used to have the face of a child, but now he was a child completely. The head was still frighteningly large, however. His lifeforce was weak, almost as weak as a newly-spawned Golden Growler.
”What happened to you?” Han Sen asked.
”Talk later. For now, we should get moving.” Baby Ghost clearly did not know Sky King had returned to the tree.
Han Sen grabbed Baby Ghost and returned to the underground shelter with him. Then, he ordered Moment Queen to move the shelter.
Little Angel and Han Sen were weak, and in their current state, they no longer had the ability to combine together and fight Sky King. As such, they decided the best course of action was to leave.
Han Sen spoke to Baby Ghost and asked, ”I thought you went looking for Sky King after I told you the truth of matters. What happened to you?”
Baby Ghost answered, ”I told Qing Jun, and we only went and spoke to the others. We didn't consult Sky King, but we were going to. But before the opportunity arose, the tree began to revive.”
”Okay, and what happened to you?” Han Sen asked.
Baby Ghost explained, ”Fortunately for me, I had Ghost Baby to escape. I abandoned my vessel and sacrificed a portion of my spirit stone to survive. I say fortunately loosely, as now I'm only a shadow of what I once was. My progress has been wiped; I don't even have a single gene lock open.”
”Just being alive is enough, Baby Ghost. Even if you're weak, being alive is more than worth the sacrifice.” Han Sen smiled softly to comfort him.
Qing Jun was in even worse condition, though. Those that had escaped into the Cruel Bottle were all alive, but they were stuck inside the bottle and unable to exit. If they left the confines of the bottle, the Sky Tree would finish the job and absorb them. Being unable to get rid of the vines meant they'd possibly be stuck inside the bottle forever.
The Cruel Bottle was like a room that operated independently to everything else, but it had to be sealed and had to remain sealed. It could not be opened, lest the Sky Tree finish what it had already started.
Aside from destroying the Sky Tree, Han Sen had no clue how he might proceed. There didn't seem to be any other way Han Sen could remove the vines. The creatures and spirits had each consumed too much lifewater, too, so the core of a Sky Fruit would be largely ineffective.
In the meantime, though, Han Sen decided to return to the Alliance. Little Angel and Han Sen were both still too weak, and for the time being, they wouldn't even have the strength to tackle a super creature.
Han Sen rested there for two days, and after that, he started refining the Life Geno Essence of the Sky Peacock.
”Life Geno Essence absorbed: super geno points +1.”
