Chapter 2264 - Forced Entry (1/2)
When the blood kirin saw that Han Sen wasn’t eating anything, it turned around to continue consuming the corpse by itself. It looked as if it wasn’t going to stop until every last morsel of the black kirin had been consumed.
Han Sen had no interest in watching the beast eat, so he decided to leave the cave. He leaped into the blood water and swam back the way he had come. The cave had no other exits, so he had to leave via the same blood pond.
After he crawled out of the pond, Han Sen picked a few blood pears to give to Little Silver. The fox had retrieved the Thunder God Spike for him, but in doing so, it had been injured.
Both the fox and the weapon were of the lightning element, but the Thunder God Spike was clearly far more powerful than Little Silver. If Little Silver’s Lightning Fox Body hadn’t possessed full immunity to lightning, then the little creature might not have been able to pull the Thunder God Spike out.
“Now that I’ve helped the blood kirin, it won’t mind if I take more blood pears and give them to Little Silver, right? I’m sure the blood kirin wouldn’t care,” Han Sen thought to himself as he collected the fruit. He lobbed them into Destiny’s Tower for Little Silver. But when he glanced inside the tower, he found Little Silver curled up to rest. Its tail was wrapped around the Thunder God Spike, and the Thunder God Spike was crackling as silver lightning arced around it. The bolts would occasionally jump to touch Little Silver’s fur, but the fox didn’t seem to mind. It just continued to rest.
Han Sen used his Purple-Eye Butterfly to get a better look. When the Thunder God Spike’s lightning landed on Little Silver, the small fox was absorbing its power. The lightning blended into Little Silver’s powers, slowly changing them as the fox rested.
Han Sen walked over and gently set one of the blood pears beside Little Silver. Then, he exited the tower and left the lotus mountain.
When he made it down from the lotus mountain, he found Fox Queen standing directly in front of the hellish skeletal gate. She was looking at him.
Fox Queen’s eyebrows rose as Han Sen approached.
Her chains wouldn’t let her move far from the gate. Otherwise, she would have explored the distant mountain range for herself long ago.
“You killed the blood kirin?” Fox Queen asked in a disturbed tone of voice.
Han Sen shook his head. “No. I can’t defeat a foe like that. But I’ve been here for a while, and we’ve gotten to know each other a bit. It hasn’t been hostile to me at all.”
Fox Queen looked at Han Sen with a veiled expression. She thought Han Sen’s explanation had to be utter nonsense.
The blood kirin was a beast of particular savagery, and it had been locked up in White Bone Hell all its life. If it ever escaped the White Bone Hell, few would survive an encounter with it. That thing was a King class demon.
If the blood kirin had grown comfortable with Han Sen simply because he had spent time with it, she wondered why the same had not occurred between the monster and herself. She had spent far more time with it, and she had even watched it grow up. Yet, there wasn’t even a faint semblance of closeness between her and the beast.
“Who are you?” Fox Queen stared at Han Sen. She had found his behavior suspicious for a long time, and it made her wary of him. Perhaps Han Sen really had been taken by General Ghost Bone, and he had just been pretending ever since.
“I told you; I am a member of the Ice Blue Knights.” Han Sen said, a little reproachfully.
Fox Queen started to respond, but all of a sudden, her face changed. “Someone forced open the palace’s door.”
“No way!” Han Sen was shocked. That palace had been built by General Ghost Bone. Not even a deified elite should have been able to open it. And there was no way Edward or the others could have gotten through the entrance.
“They have only breached the first line. They are coming in via the primary entrance. Huh. It seems that they have a death wish.” Fox Queen narrowed her eyes and walked back through the hellish skeletal gate.
