Chapter 2362 - Getting a Beast Soul Again (1/2)
The rainbow sea conch kept running, but the fire across its shell couldn’t be extinguished. It was like a flaming wheel blazing a trail through the water and across the sand. The fire refused to go out.
“The little red bird, the harbinger of death!” Han Sen was grinning like an idiot. Although he knew the little red bird had become a deified elite, being able to damage another deified elite like that was remarkably impressive.
Plus, the little red bird had only recently become deified, so it could probably improve even more in the future. In time, it might grow up to become something like the Ancient Water God.
The little red bird cawed in pride. It flew to the rainbow sea conch, and Han Sen followed it while shouting, “Save his last breath for me. I want to take the last hit!”
Han Sen chased after it, and the rainbow sea conch eventually found itself unable to move any farther. The meat inside its shell was boiling. The shell had turned translucent white, and it looked as if the creature was being barbecued.
“Is it still breathing?” Han Sen drew his Thunder God Spike and ran at the fiend. It was a deified xenogeneic, and although Han Sen’s chances of getting a beast soul out of it were low, he still wanted to try.
The fire around the little red bird’s body vanished, and it floated down to land on Han Sen. It opened its mouth toward the rainbow sea conch and inhaled. The gold fire was pulled back into its belly.
Han Sen’s Thunder God Spike slammed into the cooked conch meat, but it was like a blade hitting rubber. The spike would not go in.
Han Sen gathered up all the power he could, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t penetrate the flesh.
As the rainbow sea conch’s life faded, its body crystallized. It became more and more resistant to Han Sen’s strikes.
Han Sen felt depressed. The prize was right there in front of him, but he couldn’t take it.
Not long after, the rainbow sea conch was completely crystallized. Every inch of its body was a xenogeneic gene. It was like a piece of art made from rainbow crystal.
“What a shame.” The rainbow sea conch was very dead. Han Sen was unable to break its flesh, even though he used his Thunder God Spike to strike it.
“Electrocution is a type of damage, right? Will the final hit count as mine?” Han Sen felt very nervous. The prospect of earning a deified beast soul was very enticing.
“Xenogeneic deified hunted: Crystal God Conch. Xenogeneic gene found.”
Han Sen felt as if he had been dropped off at the pearly gates at heaven, only to fall way down into the fiery pits of hell. He had managed to get the kill, but he didn’t get a deified beast soul.
“Anyway, at least I got the deified gene. That is the biggest reward,” Han Sen mumbled to himself, but he still felt crestfallen.
Han Sen sent the Crystal God Conch’s body back to the sanctuaries. Lifeless items weren’t destroyed in the sanctuaries, just like the baby Sun Raven’s body.
The small black sea conches invading the blood kirin were gone. It was wounded, but it wasn’t in any danger of death. With its lifeforce and recovery speed, it wouldn’t take long for the blood kirin to be back in action.
The blood kirin began to feast on the flesh of the Move Mountain Sea Conch and what remained of the Electric Dragon. With gritted teeth, Han Sen gave the Move Mountain Sea Conch’s xenogeneic gene to the blood kirin, as well. He wanted it to recover the power it had lost.
It was two days before he made it back to Underwater Town. By then, the wounds on the blood kirin were no longer visible, but it had yet to fully heal.
