Chapter 1980 Killing Ant Queen (1/2)
There was no need for Han Sen to fight anymore. The purple smoke was spreading quickly across the ant queen, ripping its wounds apart and sending blood spewing out of it like a burst dam.
Han Sen was too lazy to wait, though. He slashed again and cut the heavily-injured ant queen's head clean off.
”Mutant Xenogeneic Earl hunted. Jade Ant Queen: xenogeneic gene found.”
There was an announcement, and it made Han Sen very happy. ”It really is a mutant xenogeneic!”
The Jade Ants did not back off just because the ant queen was killed. They all came rushing at Han Sen like kamikazes.
Han Sen gave Spell back her body, and she quickly got to firing rockets at the droves. Meanwhile, Han Sen went on to finish off the rest of the Earls himself.
After many more ants were killed, the rest decided to return to their abode below the stone.
Han Sen did not seek to pursue the fight. He harvested the bodies of the ant queen and the eight Earls. He also collected many Viscount xenogeneic genes.
Yu Jing saw Han Sen picking up all those xenogeneic genes and felt depressed. He had to comfort himself by saying, ”It is lucky I can at least get half of those jade fruits. This guy is scary, and he is nothing like the stories people tell about him. He doesn't seem like the sort of fellow who would need to be carried into Sky Palace. I should have totally fought for a greater share of this haul.”
There were fourteen jade fruits on the tree. Han Sen and Yu Jing each took half. Han Sen received seven, and then he asked Yu Jing what benefit they could provide.
”Brother Han, how about we co-operate in Xuanyuan Cave and kill more xenogeneics together. We can split the gatherings in your favor, sixty-forty. I guess I could settle for seventy-thirty. Eighty-twenty is a possibility, too. You should think about it!”
Han Sen did not continue his hunt in Xuanyuan Cave. He took his spoils and left. He flew the legless crane back to his island.
Right then, he wanted to find out the purpose of mutant xenogeneic genes. He did not need to do any more hunting at this point.
He gave a few Viscount Jade Ant bodies to the legless crane. He didn't collect the xenogeneic genes inside the bodies, either. The crane was able to gobble them all up.
The legless crane happily swallowed the first, and it made a grateful noise to Han Sen as it ate.
Han Sen went to the stone house and pulled the bodies out. He cut open the ant queen's body and picked up a piece of flesh that looked like jade.
That meat was transparent, and not unlike shrimp. Something gold shone from it, and looking into the gold light, you could see it was the face of the ant queen.
”Earl Genes insufficient. Cannot refine mutant xenogeneic genes.”
As Han Sen held the ant queen's xenogeneic gene, he received the same announcement.
”I have nine Earl genes. And here there are eight Earl class Jade Ants. I don't know if that'll be enough.” Han Sen cut open the eight Earl ants and picked up the xenogeneic genes within.
Han Sen gave the ant queen's body, and the bodies of the others, to the legless crane for food. Bubble was Han Sen's only other companion right now, so there was nothing else he could feed.
Han Sen had an Earl pet beast soul and seven Viscount beast souls, but he did not fancy feeding them at all. Having a pet in Sky Palace would not be something you could easily hide. If others discovered that he possessed one, explaining that might be difficult.
Jade Ant xenogeneic genes were like a fist-sized cut of meat. After Han Sen melted them down, it was like a barbecue. The oil sizzled, and he sprinkled it with salt and pepper. It tasted better than barbecued lamb.
