The fairy was fast, and not even Little Angel was able to keep up with her. But soon, she began to slow down. It looked as if she had just activated her potential, but now that she was exhausted, she was much slower than usual. And she was still slowing down.
Han Sen chased the fairy into the black mountains. The fairy ran into an underground bamboo forest, and Han Sen brought Little Angel with him.
The fairy was flying in the direction of the cold lake. Han Sen did not know what she was going to do, but he knew he had to kill her as soon as possible. So, he ordered Little Angel to chase after the fairy and close the distance between them.
However, because the little fairy had pulled away from them earlier, even though her speed was declining, they couldn't immediately catch up to her.
The fairy flew to where the cold lake used to be, but now that the daffodil was gone, a thick layer of ice had formed. She could no longer see the water.
The little fairy crashed into the ice, shattering the one-foot-thick layer of ice. Then, she dove into the cold pond.
Little Angel did not hesitate to follow him. The cold pool wasn't very deep, and it was only a few meters deep. Because it was so clear, when Han Sen stood next to it, he could see what was going on below.
Little Angel swung her greatsword from the bottom of the water, slashing at the fairy over and over again. But something seemed to be blocking her, and she couldn't land a hit on the fairy, who was already heavily injured.
Han Sen looked closer and saw the fairy hiding inside a scallop that was bigger than a palm. The scallop was made of ice, and when it was submerged in the water, one would not be able to see it.
The fairy was lying inside the scallop, and her naked body was covered in blood. Her butterfly wings were weak, and she looked at Little Angel, who was attacking the scallop.
Little Angel swung her sword a few times, but she was unable to break the scallop. Han Sen ordered Little Angel to take the scallop out of the cold pond.
Han Sen held the scallop in his hand. It was cold and hard, and it did not feel like an ordinary scallop. It looked like it had been carved out of ice, but there were no signs of it being carved.
"Is this a treasure that this little fairy created?" Han Sen looked at the dying little fairy and thought to himself, "Is this a treasure that this little fairy created?"
But when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. The little fairy was born from a daffodil. She did not have the opportunity to breed a precious artifact. Even if she could breed a precious artifact, how could a fairy born from a daffodil produce a precious artifact like a scallop?
Han Sen put the scallop on the ground and let Little Angel slash it a few more times. But the scallop was incredibly hard. Not even Little Angel was able to cut it open. All she managed to do was leave a few white marks on the scallop.
Han Sen tried to drill the scallop with the Poisonous Dragon Drill, but it was useless. All he could do was leave a small white spot on the scallop.
He tried all sorts of methods, but he could not open the scallop. Han Sen was depressed. "It was not easy for me to kill her. Am I going to fail like this?"
But soon, Han Sen realized something was wrong. Han Sen was unable to open the scallop shell. The fairy should have been happy, but she was still in shock. Her body was in a bad shape, and she looked even worse than before.
Han Sen picked up the scallop and looked at it. This time, he realized that there was something weird about the scallop.
The scallop was not empty. It was filled with a transparent liquid. At first, Han Sen thought it was just ordinary cold lake water. But now that he took a closer look, it was not ordinary water.
The transparent liquid was corroding the little fairy's wounds. Not only did they not heal, but they also worsened.
Han Sen suddenly smiled. Just as he thought, the scallop was not a relic of the little fairy.
Han Sen guessed that the scallop was a relic of another creature, but he did not know why it was there. The little fairy wanted to use the relic to escape, but she did not expect the liquid in the scallop to harm her wounds. Perhaps the little fairy did not expect this.
Perhaps she had been in the scallop before, but the liquid could not harm her body. So, she went in without worry. She thought she could use the scallop to stop Han Sen from coming after her.
However, the little fairy did not expect that the liquid, which was harmless to her, would not be able to resist her wounds. Now that she was in the scallop, her wounds were worsening.
"Let's see if you come out or not."
Han Sen was now completely relieved. He did not believe the little fairy would stay in the scallop and wait to die. If she did not come out, the liquid would corrode her wounds. In the end, she would still die, and her death would be worse.
Her wounds would be corroded little by little, and in the end, only her bones would be left. It would not be a pleasant death.
If Han Sen was the fairy, he would come out and fight. Even if he died, it would be better than being tortured to death.
But clearly, the little fairy was still holding on, and she did not want to come out of the scallop.
Han Sen was not in a rush, though. He let the little angel take the scallop and run out of the bamboo forest. He wanted to take the scallop and the fairy back to Yellowstone. The little fairy could not escape, and she was going to die sooner or later.
But it seemed as if the little fairy would be able to hold on for a while. He did not think she would come out so soon.
The little fairy was already heavily injured, and her wounds would worsen if she stayed in the scallop. The later she came out, the weaker she would be. Han Sen was not worried, though. He let the little angel take the scallop and wait for the fairy to come out. Then, he would kill her and see if there was a beast soul to be obtained.
Even if there was no beast soul, he could refine her Life Geno essence. Her flesh would be useful, too. Her blood could be used to feed the Death Knell. With the blood of a second-generation super creature, perhaps the Death Knell would be able to grow.
After dealing with the little fairy, Han Sen did not want to stay in the shelter any longer. Although there were still mysteries to be solved, and he did not know why a super spirit was trapped there, that had nothing to do with Han Sen. He was not interested in the spirit, anyway. So, after he prepared his supplies, he left Yellowstone with Zhou Yumei and Little Orange.
The little fairy was still inside the scallop, and her wounds were getting worse by the day. It looked as if she would only last ten days or half a month. If she did not come out soon, she would be nothing more than a skeleton.
"Do you know the way or not?" Zhou Yumei was riding Little Orange, and the sun was scorching her.
"No, I don't."
Han Sen's answer was simple. He was just walking in a general direction, so he did not know where to go.
Zhou Yumei pouted, wanting to argue with him. But suddenly, she heard a bird chirp across the sky. Far away in the Black Desert, there was a giant bird that was covered in black flames. It looked like a phoenix as it flew across the sky.
