Han Sen quickly hid his presence and retreated to the exit. He used Jadeskin to unlock his gene lock.
Although the Dongxuan Sutra and Jadeskin were similar to each other after unlocking their gene locks, there were still some differences. Jadeskin was more focused on the eighth sense, and although it wasn't as detailed as the Dongxuan Sutra, it was more sensitive to distance and blur. It wasn't like the Dongxuan Sutra, which was limited to the Dongxuan Aura.
Han Sen scanned the bamboo forest with his mind, and it was like he had a god's eye view. He could feel what was going on in the bamboo forest. He could vaguely see that there was something in the depths of the bamboo forest, about two or three miles away. There was something moving through the bamboo forest, and it was quickly approaching.
Han Sen could see what it looked like. It was about the size of a cat, and its shape was oval. It looked similar to the big white bugs, but it was much faster than the bugs. It was like a running rabbit.
"Is this a sacred-blood silkworm?" Han Sen was overjoyed.
Very quickly, the thing came closer and closer. Han Sen was able to see what it was. It was a giant bug. Its body was like a crystal, and there was a galaxy inside it. It was so cold that wherever it went, the black bamboo would be covered in a layer of frost.
Han Sen used the Dongxuan Sutra to unlock his gene lock, and when he looked at the big silkworm, he noticed that its lifeforce was much stronger than before. It was most likely a sacred-blood creature.
Han Sen was overjoyed. He pulled out his peacock crossbow and loaded it with a Z-steel bolt. He aimed it at the bamboo forest, and when it got close enough, he would shoot it to end its life. He wanted to see if he could get a beast soul for himself.
But as the iceworm got closer, Han Sen felt something was wrong. The lifeforce of the iceworm was getting stronger, and it was beyond what Han Sen knew about sacred-blood creatures. And it was still getting stronger.
"Is it a super creature?"
Han Sen's face changed, but when he sensed the creature, he didn't think it was at the level of a super creature.
"A berserk sacred-blood creature?"
Han Sen squinted his eyes. He had not seen many naturally berserk sacred-blood creatures, and he did not expect to see one here.
Seeing that the Icesilk was getting closer and closer, it was less than a kilometer away from Han Sen. Han Sen raised his peacock crossbow and was about to shoot when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the bamboo forest.
Rustle!
Rustle!
It was as if countless creatures were shuttling through the underbrush. Soon, Han Sen's expression changed. He saw creatures similar to the ice silkworm from before crawling out from the depths of the bamboo forest. There were many of them, and Han Sen had already sensed over a hundred of them.
"Impossible!
How can there be so many berserk sacred-bloods? "
Han Sen was shocked. Although he wasn't afraid of these Ice Silkworms, what was happening here was a little strange and scary.
If there were only a few dozen sacred-blood creatures, Han Sen could accept it. But a berserk sacred-blood creature was rare, and there might not even be one out of a few dozen sacred-blood creatures. But the iceworms were crawling out in groups. If they were berserk sacred-blood creatures, then there must be at least ten thousand of them.
No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.
But the iceworms were stronger than ordinary sacred-blood creatures. They were as strong as the blood-horned shura Han Sen had encountered before.
Seeing an iceworm crawl to within five hundred meters of Han Sen, Han Sen raised his peacock crossbow, took aim, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Instead of guessing, Han Sen thought it would be better to kill one. That way, the truth would be revealed.
The string moved, and the Z-steel arrow was fired. It traveled five hundred meters like a flash of light, piercing through the iceworm's body and nailing it to the ground.
Han Lin was dazed. The icesilk had died more easily than he had expected. A berserk sacred-blood creature should have been able to react at this speed, but this icesilk did not react at all. It had been shot to death so easily.
"Mutant Creature Dark Silkworm killed. No beast soul gained. Eat its flesh to gain zero to ten mutant geno points randomly."
Han Sen was dumbfounded. He looked at the ice silkworm, and his mouth was wide open. He couldn't close it for a while.
"This is not right. How can this be a mutant Dark Silkworm? How can a mutant Dark Silkworm possess such a strong lifeforce?"
Han Sen could not believe the fat iceworm was a mutant Dark Silkworm, just like the one in the bamboo.
But the announcement in his head could not be wrong. That was the rule of the sanctuary. If it said he had killed a mutant creature, then it had to be a mutant creature.
Seeing more iceworms crawl out, Han Sen went ahead and killed them. They were all mutant Dark Silkworms, just like the ones in the bamboo.
But Han Sen did not know why their bodies had become like this. They were completely different from the Dark Silkworms in the bamboo, and their lifeforces were incredibly strong. They should not have been mutant creatures.
"This is not right. Something must be wrong. These guys are weird. The Dark Silkworms in the bamboo can spit out cold air. Even sacred-blood creatures can't do that.
Now, these Dark Silkworms have such a strong lifeforce. Something must be affecting them. "Han Sen killed the one hundred Ice Silkworms that had crawled out of the cave. He only managed to obtain one beast soul.
Han Sen summoned it to have a look. The name and type were the same, but the appearance was different. It was much bigger, and it was the same crystal color.
Han Sen threw it out to test it, and it was much stronger than before. It could cover an area of three meters, and the cold air was much stronger.
"They are all mutant Dark Silkworm beast souls, so why is there such a difference?
If the ones in the bamboo were young, and these are adults, then their beast souls should be the same. There should not be a difference between young and adult. But now, there is such a big difference. This is complicated. What is the reason for the difference? "Han Sen looked into the depths of the bamboo forest strangely, and his curiosity grew.
"I have to go in and see what is affecting these Dark Silkworms. Even if the genes of the Dark Silkworms are good, there shouldn't be all mutant creatures. There should be some primitive ones, but they are all mutant Dark Silkworms. This is unbelievable." Han Sen thought for a moment, and then summoned the Silver Fox. He took the Silver Fox with him into the bamboo forest.
Those Profound Dark Silkworms immediately shrank back. Those that could escape escaped, and those that couldn't stayed in the bamboo, shivering. This caused the bamboo forest to tremble, and the sound of wind blowing through the bamboo leaves could be heard.
