Han Sen wanted to go to Dark Spirit Shelter and take a look at the Holy Vine and Holy Fruit, but there was a super creature family there. With his current power, he couldn't force his way in.
"Let's wait. We'll have a chance to go there," Han Sen said.
Just as Han Sen was about to return to the shelter, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby cave. It sounded like a rat gnawing at a log.
"What is that?" Han Sen frowned.
Ling Mei 'er listened to the noise, and her face changed. "Oh, no! Why are there Scourge Bugs here?"
"What are Scourge Bugs?" Han Sen asked Ling Mei 'er.
"They are the scariest creatures in the Underworld. They can eat anything, and wherever they go, nothing grows. If they're coming for us, we'll lose the shelter we just claimed," Ling Mei 'er said, with a look of worry.
"What level is a Scourge Bug?" Han Sen asked.
"They are sacred-blood creatures, and they grow very fast. They have gemstone geno cores, which make their bodies incredibly hard. Not even creatures of the same level can break their shells. You can only watch them eat. Unless you're a super elite, you can't kill them."
Ling Mei 'er said, "I've never seen one in this area before. Why are they here now?"
"Can't Snake King do something?"
Han Sen listened, and the noise was getting closer. The Scourge Bugs were coming for them.
"Snake King won't get involved. He'll just take me away when I'm in danger." Ling Mei 'er shook her head.
As the two of them spoke, they saw a bug appear in the distance in the underground space. The bug looked a little like a crab, but there were white patterns on its back. It looked like a ghost face, and its claws were as sharp as blades. Its mouth was filled with uneven teeth that looked like sawtooth.
The bug was as big as a tank. It was black, and its shell looked like it was made of steel. It didn't look easy to deal with.
Han Sen sensed its lifeforce, and it was indeed a sacred-blood creature.
Han Sen wasn't afraid of sacred-blood creatures, though. He was strong enough to fight them, but he lacked geno cores.
Still, the Crystal Egg and Bulwark Umbrella's powers made up for the difference.
In regards to Real Blood and Dollar, their powers were very special. Han Sen had already figured out a few things about them, and he planned to test them out in battle.
The Scourge Bug did not hesitate, and it came for Han Sen. Han Sen wondered if it had come for them in the first place.
But now was not the time to think about such things. He leaped into the air and flew towards the bugs. Ling Mei 'er was the heir of a super creature, but her geno core was too low. She wasn't very good at fighting.
Han Sen flew through the air like a bird, and when he passed by the Scourge Bug, he threw a punch at its back.
Although he did not use Super Spank, Han Sen's fitness and Super King Spirit were not to be trifled with.
When Han Sen became a demi-god, his fitness was around eight thousand. His ordinary geno points increased by two thousand, his primitive geno points increased by four thousand, his mutant geno points increased by eight thousand, and his sacred geno points maxed out by sixteen thousand.
Now, Han Sen's fitness was around thirty-eight thousand, and it was approaching forty thousand.
With Super King Spirit's buff, ordinary sacred-blood creatures would not be able to withstand that punch.
But when Han Sen's fist landed on the Scourge Bug's back, the ghost face on its back shone with a strange light. Han Sen felt as if his fist had struck a piece of metal, and it made a screeching noise. He was unable to damage its shell.
In a cave underground, Spirit Thirteen and his father, Spirit Twelve, were watching Han Sen fight the Scourge Bug.
Seeing Han Sen punch the Scourge Bug, Spirit Twelve coldly laughed and said, "His punch is stronger than most sacred-blood creatures. How could Ling Mei 'er tame something like that? The elder must have let it out for her."
"He is so strong. Will he be able to kill the Scourge Bug?" Spirit Thirteen was worried.
Spirit Twelve looked at him with disdain. "Even if he can kill a sacred-blood creature, he can't kill a Scourge Bug. The Scourge Bug's Ghost Armor geno core is one of the best in terms of defense among sacred-blood creatures. Unless you're a super elite, you can't break its geno core with brute force."
While they were talking, Han Sen had already fought the Scourge Bug a few times. His fists were unable to break the shell of the Scourge Bug.
Han Sen could tell that the shell was the Scourge Bug's geno core. The real Scourge Bug was inside the shell.
"Do you really think a shell can stop me?"
Han Sen used Yin Yang Blast to turn his power into Yin Force. He punched the Scourge Bug's insides.
But the result surprised Han Sen. The Yin Force did not work. He did not know if Han Sen was wrong, or if the insides of the Scourge Bug were as tough as the shell.
The Scourge Bug's knife-sharp claws crawled across the rock. It was fast, and although it could not catch up with Han Sen, it was not going to give up. Seeing that it could not catch up with Han Sen, it went straight for Ling Mei 'er.
Ling Mei 'er dodged, but the Scourge Bug did not look back. Its claws left a mark on the rock, and it continued on its way to Mask Shelter.
The door of Mask Shelter was closed, and the shield was up.
But the Scourge Bug was not going to stop. Its body was like a tank, and it rammed into the door.
There was a boom, and the shelter's shield was shattered. The stone door was blown open, and the creatures Ling Mei 'er had tamed were exposed to the creature.
The Scourge Bug rushed in and grabbed a snake-like creature with its claws. It threw it into its mouth, chewed, and swallowed it. Then, it continued to ravage Mask Shelter.
Han Sen frowned. He generated a coin and threw it at the Scourge Bug. The coin stuck to its body, and it slowed down. It was as if it had a boulder on its back.
Han Sen wanted to kill the Scourge Bug, but then he heard a strange noise. There were dozens of Scourge Bugs approaching.
One of them was huge, and it was twice the size of an ordinary Scourge Bug. Han Sen could tell it was the king of the Scourge Bugs.
Spirit Thirteen was excited, and he said, "Father is so strong! He can control a group of them!"
