Chapter 9

Han Sen returned to his room, tied the Copper Fang Beast in a cage, and then placed the black crystal near its mouth. The Copper Fang Beast immediately opened its large mouth and greedily swallowed the black crystal in one gulp.

Han Sen waited for a day, and the Copper Fang Beast indeed underwent some changes. Its originally wild boar-like gray-black fur now had a faint bronze luster, and its pair of bronze fangs became even more brilliant.

However, this was not a Mutated Copper Fang Beast. A true Mutated Copper Fang Beast should have its entire body transformed into bronze, like a bronze statue. This was the real Mutated Copper Fang Beast.

The Copper Fang Beast's fur had only a slight bronze luster, which was far from that of a Mutated Copper Fang Beast.

"It seems that evolving from a primitive creature to a mutated one is not as simple as evolving from a common creature to a primitive one. One day is not enough," Han Sen mused to himself.

After waiting for more than two days, the bronze luster on the Copper Fang Beast's body became more intense, but it still did not evolve into a mutated creature.

Han Sen had no choice but to let the Copper Fang Beast evolve slowly. He planned to go out and hunt some primitive creatures to earn money and also to consume some to enhance his own primitive genes.

Even without using the primitive genes for evolution, the more primitive genes accumulated, the stronger the body would become. The same effect applied to ordinary genes and mutated genes.

If he could make the ordinary genes, primitive genes, and mutated genes all reach 100 points, even without evolving, his body's strength would far exceed that of ordinary people.

Han Sen had the black crystal, and it was not difficult to make the four types of genes all reach 100 points. Before collecting 100 points of divine genes, Han Sen also wanted to try to make the other three types of genes reach 100 points.

Han Sen left his room and walked on the main street of the Steel Armor Shelter, feeling a bit strange. Today, there seemed to be far fewer people in the Steel Armor Shelter, and the streets were almost deserted, completely different from the usual bustling scene.

"What's going on?" When Han Sen passed by the square, he noticed that there were far fewer vendors, and the remaining ones were whispering to each other.

Han Sen listened for a while and roughly understood what had happened.

A few days ago, someone saw a new divine-blood creature at Sunset Slope. Somehow, the three major forces in the Steel Armor Shelter all found out about it and rushed over with their people.

However, the result was very tragic. They failed to kill the divine-blood creature, and many people died.

Today, Qin Xuan, Divine Son, and Fist Brother, the three major figures of the Steel Armor Shelter, reached an agreement to join forces to hunt the divine-blood creature. They also recruited many lone wanderers and small groups to join them, making it the largest-scale operation in the Steel Armor Shelter in recent years. Qin Xuan, Divine Son, and Fist Brother were determined to succeed this time.

A flash of determination appeared in Han Sen's eyes, and he turned and left the city. In a secluded place, he summoned the Black Armor Insect Soul, which transformed into armor covering his entire body. He then ran for over two hours and finally arrived at a small stone mountain on the west side of Sunset Slope.

After climbing to the top of the mountain with great effort, he looked towards Sunset Slope and saw over a thousand people fighting fiercely. In the crowd, a monster with the lower body of a horse, the upper body of a human, and a bull's head was wielding a heavy golden double-bladed axe, charging left and right, and no one could withstand its axe.

Just as Han Sen was watching, the monster swung its golden double-bladed axe with both hands, aiming at Divine Son. Although Divine Son had a blood-red long sword, he dared not block the monster's axe. He stepped back several yards by pushing off the back of his triangular dinosaur-like soul mount.

Roar!

The monster's golden double-bladed axe split the triangular dinosaur-like soul mount in half.

Divine Son was so angry that he wanted to spit blood. His most prized mutated soul mount was killed by the divine-blood creature. A mutated soul mount was a rare and valuable item, worth more than a small alliance starship.

"How can this divine-blood creature be so strong?" Han Sen was shocked and puzzled.

The divine-blood creature charged through the crowd of over a thousand people, moving like the wind. No one could withstand a single blow from its axe. Even strong people like Qin Xuan, Divine Son, and Fist Brother dared not face its axe head-on. Various alloy arrows and soul mount arrows could not even scratch its fur. With one swing of the axe, no one could get within three meters of it. It was truly formidable and domineering.

This was the divine-blood creature Han Sen had in mind. The divine-blood black armor insect he had killed was much weaker in comparison, barely stronger than an ordinary black armor insect.

Initially, the group could barely contain the divine-blood creature, but when Divine Son's mount was killed, they lost an important barrier. The divine-blood creature swung its golden double-bladed axe, creating a golden wheel-like effect, and the crowd was thrown into chaos. Cries of pain and screams filled the air as blood and limbs flew. In a moment, the divine-blood creature broke through the encirclement and fled into the mountains.

When it reached the mountain pass, the divine-blood creature deliberately turned around, raised its hooves, and let out a long, bull-like roar before fleeing into the mountains.

"Damn, it's trying to run." Divine Son was furious and summoned a green eagle soul, which transformed into a green iron bow in his hand.

Then, with another gesture, a fiery six-winged giant bee soul appeared, transforming into a dark red arrow in his other hand.

"A divine-blood level Poisonous Six-Winged Bee soul!" Qin Xuan and Fist Brother exclaimed in surprise when they saw the fiery six-winged giant bee soul.

When they hunted the divine-blood level Poisonous Six-Winged Bee, it was a joint effort with Divine Son. In the end, Divine Son was the one who killed it, and he unexpectedly obtained the Poisonous Six-Winged Bee soul.

That was a divine-blood level soul. Currently, there were no more than ten known divine-blood souls in the entire Steel Armor Shelter, and most of them were left by the old-timers before entering the Second Divine Shelter space.

"Son, no, that's a one-time use soul. If it fails to kill..." Luo Tian tried to stop Divine Son, but it was too late.

In his anger, Divine Son had already nocked the arrow transformed from the Poisonous Six-Winged Bee onto the iron bow, drew it to a full string, and released it as a red streak of light towards the divine-blood creature, which had already reached the mountain pass.

Bang!

The divine-blood creature sensed the danger and turned its head just as the Poisonous Six-Winged Bee arrow exploded into its chest, causing a massive explosion that split open its chest, spraying blood and internal organs. It fell to the ground, clearly on the verge of death.

"You dared to kill my mount, how can I let you live?" Divine Son held the bow proudly and coldly shouted, his presence commanding awe from the crowd.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the crowd, even Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned. Divine Son was secretly pleased, but suddenly, a green shadow shot down from the sky and pierced the nearly dead divine-blood creature, cutting off its last breath.

Then, a golden figure quickly rushed down from the nearby small stone mountain, reached the divine-blood creature, picked up the golden double-bladed axe that had fallen to the side, and carried it on his shoulder, fleeing into the mountains.

"Bi Ge!" Su Xiaqiao immediately recognized Han Sen's unique golden armor and exclaimed in surprise.
