The vine was a few dozen meters long, and next to it was a sleeping dragon. It looked like it was guarding the vine and the fruit.
Han Sen could feel the lifeforce of the vine and the fruit, but at the same time, he could also feel the presence of the dragon. It wasn't just a mutant creature; it was a sacred-blood creature.
"The dagger is too small. It won't be able to kill a thirty-meter-long dragon. I don't think the dagger will be able to scratch it like an itch."
Han Sen thought to himself, and then he looked at the vine and the fruit. "But it shouldn't be too hard to steal them."
The fruit looked golden, but it would take some time for it to ripen.
The shelter would only be there for one day, so Han Sen wasn't going to wait for it to ripen. So, Han Sen wasn't going to wait for it to ripen.
Han Sen planned to use the black crystal to absorb the vine and the fruit. With the waterdrop, he'd be able to get a ripe geno fruit.
After making up his mind, he returned to the shelter and found Chu Ming. He asked him to contact Qu Lanxi and ask her to come to the shelter.
Han Sen needed Qu Lanxi's help to erase his scent. While the dragon was still asleep, he wanted to absorb the vines.
Not long after Chu Ming left the shelter, Qu Lanxi teleported in. She used her power to erase Han Sen's scent.
"You only have one minute. I have only opened my first gene lock, so my power is limited. If I'm not around, the scent will return," Qu Lanxi said.
"One minute. That should be enough. You should go back to the shelter, in case the dragon comes after you."
After that, he stepped out of the shelter and headed for the vines next to the dragon.
Qu Lanxi wanted to help Han Sen, but she knew there was nothing she could do. So, she returned to the shelter.
Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to observe the dragon's reaction. As he did so, he approached the vine.
Now, Han Sen could clearly feel the lifeforce flowing through his aura. He could even slightly change the path of the lifeforce.
However, the extent of this change was very small. It was impossible to suppress or control the terrifying life aura of the evil dragon. In other words, it was impossible to have any substantial effect on the evil dragon.
Han Sen's heart jumped. Although it couldn't affect his lifeforce, it was enough to erase the presence of his lifeforce. That meant he could make the dragon unable to sense his lifeforce.
Thinking of this, Han Sen was overjoyed. He quickly gave it a try, and it really could remove the presence of a lifeforce. Although it couldn't affect his own lifeforce, it could prevent others from sensing his presence.
Han Sen was worried he would wake up the dragon and let it sense his lifeforce. But now, he had nothing to worry about. His lifeforce and scent had been erased. Unless the dragon looked at him with its eyes, it wouldn't be able to detect his presence.
"This is the perfect ability for an assassin," Han Sen thought to himself. Then, he snuck up next to the vine.
He didn't pick the fruit, as it was too powerful. If he picked it up, the dragon would be alerted, and it would be difficult for him to absorb the vine.
If the life force fluctuations of the fruit were blocked, it would be equivalent to the fruit disappearing from the dragon's senses, which would also alarm the dragon.
So, Han Sen decided to use the black crystal and turn it into a black hole. He put his hand on the vine and sucked in its lifeforce.
The vines lost their life force and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The evil dragon sensed the abnormality and woke up from its slumber. It opened its huge eyes and looked at the vines and fruits beside it.
The dragon's eyes opened wide, and it stared at Han Sen.
"Hey, buddy! How was your sleep?"
Han Sen had one hand on the vine, and he was absorbing the lifeforce of the vine and the fruit. He waved at the dragon with a smile, as if he was greeting an old friend.
The dragon was confused by Han Sen's actions, and it froze for two seconds. It let out a roar that shook the sky and the ground. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a stream of lava. It wanted to burn Han Sen to death, the bastard who had stolen the geno plant.
When Han Sen saw the lava-like flames coming for him, he saw that there was still half of the vine's lifeforce left to be sucked dry. He had no choice but to turn and run.
His life was more important, though. The lava was too scary, and he didn't know how many gene locks the dragon had opened.
Sacred-blood creatures could open up to eight gene locks, but it was rare to see a sacred-blood creature with eight open gene locks open. Even a sacred-blood creature with seven open gene locks was rare.
Han Sen ran quickly, but the lava was too big. It burned Han Sen, but the damage was not as bad as Han Sen thought it would be.
Han Sen felt as if his body was on fire. His body was uncomfortably hot, but he was only slightly burned.
This was possible because of his sacred-blood iron bug armor and the fact that he had a lot of fire geno points. His resistance to fire elemental powers was quite high.
The dragon's magma fire looked scary, but because it covered a large area, the power of the fire was dispersed. So, Han Sen was only slightly injured.
Han Sen ran out of the lava and returned to the shelter.
The Evil Dragon angrily spat out a fireball, forcibly blasting a ten-meter-deep crater in the ground. Rocks, soil, and plants were directly turned into magma. The power was unimaginably terrifying.
Han Sen was shocked. Fortunately, the dragon did not use a fireball to attack him first. If it had, he would not have been able to escape so easily.
The evil dragon roared at Han Sen from the outside, but it didn't seem to want to enter the shelter. This made Han Sen feel relieved.
Han Sen looked at his Sea of Soul and was overjoyed. Although he had only absorbed a small amount of the lifeforce, the black crystal had produced eight hundred waterdrops.
Every single drop was a full year's worth of Life Droplets. This harvest was unimaginably huge.
"With these waterdrops, I can mature the Dragon-Blood Tree and Blood-Pine."
Han Sen was so happy. He waved at the Dragon, who was still roaring outside, and returned to the shelter with great satisfaction.
