Han Sen picked up the bucket and walked to the riverside. He wasn't going there just for show; he wanted to do some experiments.
He still had two water droplets, but the Dragon-Blood Tree had absorbed one in two days. He didn't know how long the remaining two would last him.
So, Han Sen planned to find a few more geno plants to try. He wanted to see if the black crystal could absorb their lifeforce and generate water droplets.
The geno plants in the sanctuary all had owners, so Han Sen wasn't going to experiment with them.
Fortunately, Han Sen had heard from Qu Lanxi that the Jade Scale River flowed from Thorn Forest. Sometimes, geno seeds would emerge from the banks of the river.
But they were all ordinary geno seeds, and the plants that grew from them weren't cultivated properly. So, they weren't very useful, and people didn't want to transplant them.
Han Sen went to the Jade Scale River to collect water, and he wanted to get his hands on some wild geno plants.
Carrying the bucket, he slowly walked to the riverside. His wounds had not yet healed, so he didn't want to tire himself out. He summoned Meowth and had it carry him to the Jade Scale River.
After walking for a short while, they saw a river that looked like a bright jade belt. The Jade Scale River was thirty to forty feet wide, and the water flow was not very fast. There were many plants growing on both sides of the river, and there were even some wild flowers mixed in.
There were many plants, but most of them were ordinary. They weren't geno plants.
Han Sen didn't know which one was a geno plant, but he could tell with his Life Force.
Even the weakest geno plant that grew in the wild had a stronger Life Force than ordinary plants.
Han Sen jumped off Meowth's back and walked down the river. Meowth turned back into a pet and followed Han Sen.
"Meowth, if I had known things would be so difficult, I would have brought Sun God, Sun God, and the others. Although they can't fight in the Third God's Sanctuary, they can still help me out. They can rub my shoulders, massage my back, and chat with me," Han Sen said to Meowth as he walked. Meowth was the only one who could listen to him.
"Meowth!" Meowth meowed at Han Sen, as if it agreed with Han Sen.
Han Sen was shocked. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if Meowth was more intelligent than before. Meowth didn't respond to him before.
But Meowth was just a pet in the First God's Sanctuary. Its power and intelligence were limited.
The reason Han Sen brought Meowth with him was not because it was strong or intelligent, but because it had become a habit.
Han Sen didn't walk far, and he found a plant with a strong Life Force. He walked over and squatted down to take a closer look.
It looked like a wild vegetable growing beside the river bank. It had seven or eight feet long, serrated leaves, and three small white flowers on top. It had a slight fragrance of wild flowers and grass.
"Based on this Life Force, it must be an ordinary geno plant."
Han Sen put his hand on a leaf and looked at the black crystal in his Sea of Soul. He said, "Black crystal, black crystal, show me your power again. This time, it is up to you whether or not we will be able to eat and drink well."
As Han Sen prayed, the black crystal started to shake. It became a black hole again, and it started to absorb the Life Force of the geno plant.
In the blink of an eye, the geno plant was sucked dry. It looked like it had been pulled out of the ground and left out in the sun for a few days.
"It worked!" Han Sen was overjoyed, and he watched the black crystal change.
When the black crystal returned to normal, it secreted another droplet of water. However, this droplet of water was smaller than the previous three droplets. It was only one-third the size of the previous three droplets, and its life force was only one-third the size of the previous three droplets.
But since it worked, Han Sen was very satisfied. He didn't care how much it would cost him.
Han Sen continued his search for geno plants. Because there were no creatures or spirits that needed them, there were quite a few that were left behind.
Han Sen walked for three miles, and he found five geno plants. He used the black crystal to absorb their Life Forces and turn them into five drops of water.
These five water droplets were all different in size. However, the largest one was only half the size of the three water droplets from the Inky Jade Sword Tree.
Among the five water droplets, the largest one was twice the size of the smallest one.
"That's strange. What's going on?
They are all ordinary geno plants, and their lifeforces are similar. Why is there such a huge difference between them? "Han Sen was confused, but he couldn't figure it out.
It was still early, so Han Sen decided to keep walking. He wanted to find a few more geno plants.
After walking for about two to three meters, he saw a water vine growing on the riverbank right next to the river. It had purplish-brown vines and leaves, and was about a meter long. It grew close to the riverbank, and when the wind blew across the river, a part of it would be submerged when the current surged.
It wasn't a particularly eye-catching water vine, but Han Sen felt a special Life Force from it. It was stronger than the five geno plants he had absorbed, and he could sense something special about it.
"Is this a plant that grew from an ordinary geno seed?"
Just as he was about to walk over to the water vine, Meowth, who was next to his feet, suddenly went into battle mode. It bared its fur and meowed at the water, as if it was trying to warn something.
Han Sen immediately stopped walking. He stood where he was without moving, but his eyes were looking around the water vine.
His injuries were too severe, so his senses were not as sharp. But when he looked closer, he was able to detect a lifeforce in the water near the wisteria. It was much stronger than any super creature he had seen in the Second God's Sanctuary.
Looking carefully with his eyes, he saw that there was a vague shadow in the murky water beside the water vine. It was the size of a fist. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it clearly in the water and would think that it was the shadow of the water vine's leaves.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a living creature. Looking at the shape of the shadow, it vaguely resembled a large toad hiding in the mud.
But the Life Force it exuded was something Han Sen didn't dare underestimate.
