Chapter 1973 Killing Ghost Claw Beas (1/2)

”Suyi, say thank you to Han Sen.” Yun Sushang nudged Yun Suyi with a hand.

Yun Suyi was still a bit rattled, but she stepped forward and said to Han Sen, ”Thank you for saving me.”

”It's okay. Even if I hadn't struck, it couldn't have hurt you. I just wanted to find out the power of the Xuan Jade Spirit.” Han Sen smiled. He wasn't suggesting that Suyi was strong, but acknowledging that Sushang was right beside her.

There was no way the creature would have been permitted to hurt her.

But Sushang was surprised that Han Sen had reacted before she had. Han Sen had just become an Earl, and if his reaction speeds were superior to theirs already, that was most certainly not normal.

Yun Suyi looked at Spell with curiosity. ”Han Sen, is that your geno armament? It is special. I have never seen one like that before.”

Thousand Feather Crane was just as curious. Prior to this, they had only seen Spell's armor mode. Her second mode looked like a person, and this was something they hadn't seen before.

Han Sen smiled, but he did not answer the question. He asked, ”That Xuan Jade Spirit was not strong. Aside from being able to travel through stone, what else can they do?”

Thousand Feather Crane said, ”That one was an Earl class Ghost Claw Beast. They aren't the strongest of Earls, but they are very fast. They can appear through the rock, so they are very dangerous if you are careless. Even cutting off the creature's claws won't kill it. They can regenerate. It's very annoying. If you want to kill it for good, you need to damage the stone it resides in, once it has revealed itself with the claws.”

Yun Sushang said, ”Ghost Claw Beasts are too fast. Most of the time, we can't detect their presence until it is too late. And if they miss or break their claws, they'll run away. Second chances are rare. So, when you want to kill one, you need two Earls. One can cut the claws while the other pummels the body inside the stone.”

After that, Yun Sushang struck a rock with her knuckles and said, ”The Xuanyuan rock is very hard. With our powers, we can only cut through an inch of the stone at a time. The Ghost Claw Beasts raise their claws around one foot out of the rock. Then, they attack.”

Thank you for teaching me,” Han Sen said gratefully.

They kept walking, and Han Sen felt as if the Ghost Claw Beasts were right next to them. One was getting ready to attack again.

It was the same Ghost Claw Beast, and it wanted revenge. It kept following them, ready to perform a Ghost Claw Slash upon them. But it had been hurt by Spell once already, so it was exercising great caution. It didn't come too close yet, and it watched and waited for an opportunity from beneath the stone.

”Be careful; there are xenogeneics up ahead,” Thousand Feather Crane told them. He was up front.

Han Sen looked forward, and he saw a blurry shadow. Without Thousand Feather Crane's warning, he would not have known that it was a xenogeneic.

The group soon got close enough to see it clearly, however. It was a bug that was native to the cave, and it looked like a centipede. Its shell was of a bluish hue, and there was a face emblazed upon its back. It looked creepy.

”Earl class Face Centipede. Be careful. Face Centipedes appear in a group, mostly. They don't travel alone.” Yun Suyi explained this for Han Sen's benefit, as the others there were no strangers to the cave. Face Centipedes were quite common, and the Sky were familiar with how they behaved.

The Face Centipede soon saw Han Sen, and it came scurrying over. It let out a wretched sound that drew the attention and ire of more in the vicinity.
