Han Sen watched the two-tailed scorpion dig deeper and deeper. Soon, he could no longer see its shadow. All he could see was a deep hole.
Han Sen summoned his wings and flew into the air to take a look at the hole. It was ten meters deep, and the bottom of the hole was connected to a natural cave.
"So, there is something else down there."
He summoned his Super Armor and put it on. Then, with the silver fox in tow, he carefully entered the crater.
When he reached the bottom of the pit, he peeked through the cracks of the cave. His eyes opened wide.
It was a giant cave. He had no idea how big it was, but there were many bamboo-like things growing inside. They were connected to the walls of the cave, and it was an incredible sight.
The two-tailed scorpion was snapping many of the bamboo-like things. The inside of the bamboo was hollow, and inside the bamboo, there were many big white worms that looked like silkworms. They were ten centimeters long, and they were fat and white.
The two-tailed scorpion stuffed the bamboo and the big white worms into its mouth. It made a crunching sound as it chewed.
"Is the big white worm a creature, too?
If the two-tailed scorpion eats these things, does that mean it has entered its breeding period? "Han Sen guessed.
The bamboo and the big white worms in the cave were quickly eaten by the two-tailed scorpion. Satisfied, the two-tailed scorpion crawled back to Han Sen. It looked as if it was full, and it was ready to leave.
Han Sen quickly flew out of the hole and hid as far away as he could. Not long after, he saw the two-tailed scorpion crawl out of the hole. It was climbing up the black mountain.
Han Sen did not chase after the two-tailed scorpion. If it was really in its breeding period, it would be a waste to kill it now. It would be better to wait until it gave birth.
But Han Sen was interested in the bamboo and the big white worms. When the two-tailed scorpion was far away, he asked the silver fox to wait outside in case the scorpion came back and blocked him. Then, he climbed back into the hole and entered the cave.
There were a lot of bamboo-like plants inside, each of them with a diameter of twenty to thirty centimeters. The nearby bamboos had been eaten by the Twin-tailed Purple Scorpion, and there were many broken bamboos and some big white worms on the ground.
Those big white bugs were white and tender, showing a kind of translucent state. It was possible to see the blood-like blood vessels inside.
The big white worms that had fallen on the ground were crawling around, trying to get into the bamboo. But it was difficult, and they could only get into the broken bamboo.
They could not get into the bamboo that was still in good condition.
Han Sen picked up a piece of bamboo and squeezed it. He could not break it immediately, so he increased his strength. When he was about to use all his strength, he broke the bamboo.
"What a tough bamboo."
Han Sen threw the bamboo on the ground and summoned his peacock crossbow. He loaded it with a Z-steel arrow and fired it at a big white worm that was trying to get into the bamboo.
The Z-steel arrow pierced through the big white bug's body. The big white bug squeaked, and a white mist came out of its body. The surrounding temperature dropped, and frost appeared everywhere. The dead big white bug was frozen into a ball, as if it had just been taken out of a freezer.
"Mutant Creature Hunted: Dark Silkworm. No beast soul gained. Eat its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly."
A voice played in Han Sen's head. It surprised Han Sen, and he thought to himself, "It's a mutant creature. But how can a mutant creature spit out cold air? That's weird. I thought only super creatures could use special powers like that."
Han Sen was curious, so he summoned his Flaming Rex Spike to slay the Dark Silkworms that had fallen. He kept hearing the sound of something being killed.
When the Dark Silkworms were killed, they would spit out cold air. But their resistance was weak, and they did not have much fighting power. Han Sen kept killing them.
"Mutant Creature Hunted: Dark Silkworm. Mutant Dark Silkworm beast soul gained. Eat its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly." After Han Sen had killed thirty silkworms, he heard the announcement.
Han Sen quickly looked at the Dark Silkworm beast soul he had received. He wanted to know what type it was.
Mutant Dark Silkworm: One-time Weapon Beast Soul
Han Sen was surprised. It had been a long time since he had seen a one-time-use beast soul. Weapon beast souls were rare, so he did not know what kind of weapon it was.
Han Sen summoned the mutant Dark Silkworm, and he saw a fat, white bug appear in Han Sen's hand. It was heavy in his hand.
Han Sen looked at it for a while, but he could not tell what it was. He hesitated, and then threw it at the wall.
Pang!
The fat bug hit the wall and exploded. It released a white mist that covered an area one and a half meters in diameter. A thick layer of ice formed on the wall.
"This thing is interesting."
Han Sen was surprised. It was only a mutant class beast soul, but it could release cold powers. It was very special.
"I wonder if there are any sacred-blood class Dark Silkworms here. If I can get a sacred-blood class Dark Silkworm beast soul, it might be useful."
Han Sen killed all the Dark Silkworms he could find, but they were all mutant class. He did not see any sacred-blood class ones.
There were fifty or sixty Dark Silkworms on the ground. Han Sen hesitated for a moment, then used his Flaming Rex Spike to break a stalk of bamboo. Many Dark Silkworms began to fall out of the bamboo.
Han Sen killed a hundred of them, and he received two more mutant Dark Silkworm beast souls. But he did not see any sacred-blood class Dark Silkworms.
"Never mind. I'll take these Dark Silkworms out of here. If I grind them into powder, I can eat them and gain a lot of mutant geno points. That would be a good thing."
Han Sen used a bag to pack up the one hundred frozen silkworms. He was going to take them outside to dry them in the sun.
There were many Dark Silkworms in the bamboo forest, and there were at least ten of them in each bamboo. It was such a big bamboo forest, and if Han Sen wanted to kill them all, it would take forever.
Han Sen gave up on killing the Dark Silkworms, and instead decided to wait for the Twin-Tail Scorpion to eat. He wanted to make sure the scorpion became a second-generation super creature. Then, Han Sen could deal with the rest.
After Han Sen collected the Dark Silkworms, he prepared to leave. But suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from the depths of the bamboo forest. It sounded as if something was crawling out of there.
