Chapter 5

Han Yumei and Han Lei caused a commotion at Han Sen's home, and in the end, they left with a harsh warning, giving them a month to either pay up or sell the house, or else they would see them in court.

"It's all because I'm useless, unable to even protect the old house." Luo Sulan held Han Yan and sobbed.

Luo Sulan was a gentle woman. When Han Sen's father was still alive, she was treated like a princess, never having to do housework, let alone sweep the floor. After Han Sen's father passed away, Luo Sulan managed to raise her two children, and Han Sen felt it was no easy feat for his mother.

"Mom, don't worry. My father is gone, but I'm still here. I won't let them take our house. You rest for now, I'll call Uncle Zhang to ask for advice." Han Sen dialed the phone to his former company's legal advisor, who was also his father's good friend, Lawyer Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang, it's Xiaosen... How is your back these days... I have some legal matters I want to consult you about... The situation is like this..." After hanging up, Han Sen's expression turned grim.

Now he was certain that Han Yumei and the others were not lying; they did indeed have partial inheritance rights. If it really went to court, the outcome would be as they said: pay up or sell the house—those were the only two options.

"Xiaosen, what did Lawyer Zhang say?" Luo Sulan asked anxiously, looking at Han Sen.

"Don't worry, Mom. I've already asked Uncle Zhang, and there's a solution. You just take care of Xiaoyan, and leave this matter to me. No one will take our house away." Han Sen said with a smile.

"That's good... That's good..." Luo Sulan let out a long sigh of relief.

After resting at home for the night, the next morning, Han Sen took the train to the teleportation station and entered the God's Sanctuary world.

Han Sen appeared in his room at the Steel Armor Sanctuary. When humans teleport into the God's Sanctuary space, they all appear in a fixed room. This room can only be entered by the owner; no one else can enter it by any means unless they have the owner's permission.

Before completing the first evolution and entering the second God's Sanctuary space, this room was Han Sen's home in the God's Sanctuary world.

Now, Han Sen had no power or influence. To protect the house, he had to pay two million left-handed coins within a month to keep their old home.

Although he was reluctant, this was the only way to protect the house before he gained power and influence.

Two million left-handed coins were an astronomical sum for a sixteen-year-old who had just graduated from integrated compulsory education.

The old Han Sen couldn't have earned two million even in a year, let alone a month.

But now things were different. If Han Sen hadn't boiled the god-blood black beetle's shell to make soup, that god-blood level shell alone could have been sold for one to two million.

Although he no longer had the god-blood level shell, Han Sen still had the black crystal that could evolve organisms. With that, two million was nothing.

Looking at the primitive-level green-scaled beast's corpse still on the ground, Han Sen hesitated for a moment, then picked up the corpse. He skinned and deboned it with a dagger, dried the flesh over a fire to make jerky, and stored it in a bag at his waist as provisions.

He had to catch a creature first, then use the crystal to evolve it, and finally sell the high-quality flesh to get the money.

However, with his god-level beast soul armor, Han Sen could now hunt primitive-level creatures without needing to hunt ordinary creatures.

Ordinary creatures take a day to evolve to the primitive level, and primitive-level creatures don't sell for very high prices. Two million was a significant amount, and Han Sen needed to evolve at least one mutant creature to possibly sell for two million.

Primitive-level creatures were distributed about ten kilometers from the Steel Armor Sanctuary. Han Sen had never dared to go there before, but now, with the beast soul armor, things were different.

However, Han Sen's target this time was not the weakest primitive-level creature near the Steel Armor Sanctuary, the copper-toothed beast, but the wind mantis, which often appeared in the Windfall Valley.

Although the wind mantis was only a primitive-level creature and its body was relatively fragile, it could be easily killed with a direct hit to its vital points by an ordinary alloy dagger. However, due to its incredible speed, ordinary humans couldn't keep up with it. Its steel-saw-like front arms could easily cut through human bones, and a single strike from its mantis arms could result in death or severe injury. Therefore, few humans hunted wind mantises.

For Han Sen, the wind mantis was an excellent choice. The wind mantis was still a primitive-level creature and couldn't possibly break through his god-blood level beast soul armor. As long as the wind mantis couldn't hurt him, he could easily kill it.

Most importantly, after cutting off the wind mantis's claws and wings, it would have almost no fighting ability but wouldn't die. Han Sen could then take it back and keep it in his room, evolve it with the black crystal, and then slaughter it to sell its flesh.

Of course, if he had good luck and could kill several wind mantises, and if he got lucky and obtained a wind mantis beast soul, that would be even better.

The wind mantis beast soul was a weapon type, capable of transforming into a wind saw blade, a long dagger with a serrated edge, which was a weapon Han Sen was skilled at using.

Although the wind saw blade was only a primitive-level weapon-type beast soul, its destructive power and sharpness were among the best at the primitive level, comparable to some mutant-level weapon beast souls in terms of sharpness.

However, because hunting wind mantises was too dangerous, few people went to the Windfall Valley, so very few people had obtained a wind saw blade. When it was occasionally sold, it fetched a sky-high price.

If Han Sen could get lucky and obtain a wind mantis beast soul, he wouldn't need to rely on selling mutant-level creature flesh. Selling the wind mantis beast soul alone would be enough to get two million.

On the way to the Windfall Valley, the number of nearby humans gradually decreased. By the time he reached the Windfall Valley, there were no more human traces, as few humans ventured here.

Han Sen didn't dare to go too deep, so he found a hidden spot, summoned the god-blood black beetle beast soul, which transformed into a golden armor to protect his entire body, took a deep breath, and stealthily entered the Windfall Valley.

Han Sen didn't dare to move too quickly. Inside the Windfall Valley, trees were dense, and wild grass grew taller than a person. The wind often blew through, causing the leaves and grass to sway, making it difficult to see the green wind mantises hidden within. A single misstep could result in a sudden attack that could sever bones.
