Chapter 2270 - Silver Sycee (1/2)

The steel twig was unexpectedly tough. It took Han Sen a long while to cut through it so he could claim the silver fruit for himself.

When he finally sawed through the twig, the silver fruit dropped from the tree. Han Sen reached out his hand to grab it. But the moment the silver sycee touched his hand, Han Sen’s eyes widened.

His face twisted, and his muscles trembled and shook. His blood surged through his veins like lightning, and his entire body turned to ice jade. He roared. He struggled to raise the hand that was holding the silver sycee, his other hand clutching his waist as if he was about to have a hernia.

Han Sen summoned all the power he could. His hair flew around like mad, and green veins bulged across his head.

Patong!

The silver sycee continued to fall to the ground, taking Han Sen’s hand with it. Han Sen had to half-kneel on the ground.

“What kind of fruit is this? It is so heavy! If I swallowed this, it would tear straight through my stomach!” Han Sen stared at the fruit in disbelief. He wanted to get his hand out from under it, but it was pinning his hand down. He pulled away with all his might, but the fruit wouldn’t budge.

Han Sen took out his knife and hacked away at the silver fruit. The loud shrieking noise of metal on metal assaulted his ears, but the sycee remained completely undamaged. The fruit was harder than the tree it had come from.

After a moment of thought, Han Sen decided to dig into the ground instead. The floor of the palace was also incredibly hard, though. Han Sen’s cuts only left light scrape marks behind.

The blood kirin used its own claws to help dig through the stone near Han Sen’s hand. The creature actually managed to leave a few proper scratch marks, but whenever it pulled its claws away, the scratch marks would disappear.

The blood kirin kept digging, but the floor continued to miraculously recover. Han Sen’s hand remained motionless under the silver sycee.

“Grab that fruit and lift it away!” Han Sen barked to the blood kirin when he realized that digging into the floor was a futile endeavor.

The blood kirin, upon hearing Han Sen, locked its jaws around the silver sycee. It yanked upward with all of its might, but the silver sycee remained still.

“What… what is this thing…” Han Sen was frozen. It was just a fruit, but not even a half-deified being could move it. The sycee didn’t even twitch.

Even more strangely, Han Sen’s hand hadn’t been crushed. The sycee was keeping him pinned in place, but if the fruit was really as heavy as it seemed, his hand should have been crushed and broken.

In truth, his hand was only suffering a bit of pressure. It definitely hadn’t been injured.

Just as Han Sen was about to use Purple-Eye Butterfly to take a look at the fruit, the teleporter rippled with movement. Someone was coming.

Han Sen looked over as Mister White and Crime emerged. Their presence made him frown.

Although Crime was King class instead of half-deified, Han Sen had witnessed his talents in battle. He was no worse than the half-deified Edward, by Han Sen’s estimation.

“Han Sen, what are you doing?” Mister White looked at Han Sen with interest.

The blood kirin interrupted his question with a roar. Then, it leaped towards Mister White and Crime. Its claws wielded a blood air as they slashed as Mister White like blades.

Mister White stepped forward like he was teleporting. He appeared right beside the blood kirin and pressed a hand against the creature’s head.

Mister White’s hand flashed with a strange symbol. That symbol sank into the scaled forehead of the blood kirin like a brand.
