Han Sen was shocked. He took two steps back and looked at the center of the orchid grass. He saw a white flame rising from the grass. It was like a small lantern.
Han Sen took a closer look and realized it wasn't a flame. It was a halo.
In the middle of the halo, there was a black bug. It looked like a cricket, and its size was similar as well. Its entire body was as black as ink, and its two feelers were swaying as it slowly crawled up one of the orchid leaves.
It climbed to the tip of the orchid leaves and pressed down on them. Han Sen saw it open its mouth and reveal its sharp teeth. It bit down on the orchid leaves.
Katcha!
Katcha!
In just a short while, half of the orchid leaf had been bitten off by the black cricket, and its stomach was round and full.
After it was full, the black cricket crawled back down the leaves. Perhaps it was because it was full, but its body began to emit white smoke. The white smoke condensed into a milky white cloud. When the cloud was dense enough, it rose from its back and became a milky white bubble. It looked like the milky white bubble Han Sen had seen earlier.
Now, Han Sen knew that the bubbles in the orchid weren't coming from the leaves of the orchid. They were coming from the black cricket.
The black cricket quickly returned to the roots of the orchid grass. It was going to disappear into the grass.
Han Sen grabbed the air and sucked the cricket into his hand. The black cricket struggled in his hand. It was quite strong, but it was still far from being King class. It couldn't escape from Han Sen's grasp.
The black cricket seemed to know it couldn't escape. Its body began to release a milky white odor. It quickly wrapped up its body in a milky white cloud.
Han Sen grabbed the cloud like he was grabbing a steamed bun.
Fortunately, the milky white cloud was easy to pinch. The cricket couldn't escape from Han Sen's grasp.
"Its power is only Marquise class, but the cloud it exudes is amazing. Not even my power can break it." Han Sen hesitated, then put the cricket into Destiny's Tower.
Then, he walked over to the orchid grass. He put his hand on it and felt the lifeforce inside.
The orchid grass was alive, but Han Sen wasn't the black cricket. He didn't want to eat it. He checked the grass, but he didn't find anything else. After a moment of hesitation, he put the orchid grass into Destiny's Tower.
Han Sen came out of the cloud. He thought for a moment, then put the ten-meter-tall cloud into Destiny's Tower. He flew away from the area and continued his search for Bao 'er.
But Han Sen hadn't gone far when he saw a group of cloud beasts heading his way.
It was a group of cloud beasts that looked like cranes. There were at least a thousand of them. Most of them were Marquises, and a few were Dukes. The leader of the group was a King class Cloud Beast with an area.
Han Sen wasn't shocked. He was happy. He pulled out his knife and ran over. Cloud beasts were xenogeneics, too. If he had a King class xenogeneic to kill, he'd be able to replenish his King class genes.
He had four areas, and leveling up each tier required one hundred King class genes. That wasn't a small number, so he had to earn as many as he could.
The cloud beasts were no match for Han Sen. Han Sen ran over and cut off the King class cloud beast's head.
"Xenogeneic King hunted: Cloud Crane King. Xenogeneic gene found."
Han Sen casually dug out the Cloud Crane's xenogeneic gene. He thought the Cloud Crane King was dead, and the rest of the Cloud Cranes would have scattered. But they were still coming after him. It seemed as if they wanted to avenge the Cloud Crane King, even if it cost them their lives.
Han Sen didn't want to kill those useless low-level cloud beasts, so he broke space and flew away. The low-level cloud cranes couldn't keep up with his speed, and they were quickly left behind by Han Sen.
But not long after, he saw another group of cloud beasts that looked like tigers. There were a few Kings among them.
"Haha! My luck has finally come!" Han Sen was so happy. He grabbed his Ghost Teeth Knife and ran after them.
Han Sen was like a butterfly flying through the clouds. He swung his Ghost Teeth Knife like the fangs of a demon. He killed the cloud tigers one by one.
A two- or three-tier King class xenogeneic was a piece of cake for Han Sen.
"Xenogeneic King hunted: Wind Cloud Tiger. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Wind Cloud Tiger beast soul."
He had killed five King class Wind Cloud Tigers, and he had obtained a Wind Cloud Tiger beast soul. Han Sen was very happy.
There were many cloud beasts in the Tianxia System, but it wasn't easy to find a King class soul beast. He was lucky to have killed a few King class cloud beasts in such a short time.
The Wind Cloud Tigers were still coming after Han Sen without fear of death. Han Sen ignored them and kept flying.
Han Sen flew for a while, and then he encountered another group of cloud beasts. But this time, there were no Kings. The Beast King was just a Duke.
Han Sen thought he could scare them away with one punch, but the cloud beasts didn't fall for it. They watched Han Sen kill a dozen of them with one punch, and they kept coming after him.
After getting rid of them, he continued to fly forward. But soon, he noticed something was wrong. There were many cloud beasts around, and he kept running into cloud beasts wherever he went.
Moreover, these cloud beasts were quite ruthless. Groups of them didn't fear death at all. It was as if they had seen an irreconcilable enemy. They crazily attacked, and no matter how hard they tried to kill them, they wouldn't retreat.
"This sea of clouds is a bit weird."
Han Sen frowned. He hesitated for a moment, then changed his direction. He wanted to see if he could encounter more cloud beasts.
But the results were the same. He ran into a large group of cloud beasts.
Han Sen changed his direction a few more times, but he still encountered a large group of cloud beasts. The cloud beasts looked like they were in a killing frenzy. They jumped at Han Sen, not caring if they could defeat him.
"This place is really weird." Han Sen had killed many King class cloud beasts, but he was starting to feel uneasy.
If he encountered a King class soul beast, he could kill it. But the Tianxia System had deified xenogeneics. There were so many cloud beasts there, and if he encountered a deified cloud beast, he would be in for a fight.
Han Sen hesitated for a moment, then turned around and flew back the way he had come. He wanted to leave this milky sea of clouds first. This place was too weird, and it made him uneasy.
On his way back, he ran into Feng Yun Tiger and the other cloud beasts. Their eyes were red, and they wanted to avenge their king. They chased after Han Sen.
Han Sen managed to shake them off, and he finally escaped the milky sea of clouds. He returned to the light blue sea of clouds.
"I finally left that weird sea of clouds."
Han Sen felt relieved. But before he could relax, he saw a shadow flying toward him. It was Meng Lie, the fourth uncle of the Extreme King.
