Chapter 2216 Cleaning Job

Chapter 2216 Cleaning Job


Right after Han Sen’s team arrived with the Ice Blue Knights, they were given a priority task to exterminate the xenogeneics that could be found around the base.


The base had been established there for some time, but xenogeneics emerged constantly from the mountains. Those xenogeneic hordes frequently caused trouble for the base.


Han Sen’s mission was to venture into those mountains and clear the creatures out. There were many bird xenogeneics there, and they bred quickly. Han Sen had to wipe out their homes and destroy whatever eggs he could find. If he didn’t, it’d only be a matter of time before they returned.



In the midst of those mountains, Han Sen was sh.e.l.ling a few boiled bird eggs. He ate them and frowned.


His group had been in those mountains for half a month, and they killed birds and destroyed or ate bird eggs each and every day. In the beginning, they thought the eggs were delicious, but after half a month with the eggs as their only food, they were growing tired of the taste.


The Ice Blue Knights had already killed the most powerful xenogeneics, so there were no Kings around. There weren’t even any Dukes. They were mostly finding low-level xenogeneics whose only skill was reproducing quickly, so none of the kills helped Han Sen.


But the cleaning job did have some benefits. It would earn them points, and those points could be used to redeem items from the vendors in the base. There were geno arts and xenogeneic genes available for redemption.


Of course, to Han Sen, the potential rewards weren’t worth the trouble. The things that he wanted would require a hefty load of points, and it would take a long time doing menial cleaning tasks to ama.s.s the necessary amount.


Still, it wasn’t entirely pointless. There were many bird xenogeneics of a variety of different elements on that mountain, and that factoid gave Han Sen an idea.


Han Sen couldn’t use his Sun Raven Gem beast soul, and he needed a fire element bird beast soul as a base. There were many birds there, so if he was able to find a high-cla.s.s fire bird beast soul, he could combine it with the gold bird beast soul. That might allow him to earn a deified beast soul.


King cla.s.s beast souls could survive the merging process with a high success rate, but it would be difficult for Han Sen to kill a King cla.s.s xenogeneic at his current level of strength. And since it would be hard to find one, too, he’d settle for locating a Duke.


After days of constant research, Han Sen found a fire bird xenogeneic that he deemed to be a suitable catch.


The Ice Blue Knights had a map that marked territories that were known to be particularly dangerous. Lava Valley was one of those locations.


The valley was one hundred thousand miles long. There was a lava river that flowed through its length, and the walls of the valley held many caves. Fire xenogeneics frequently inhabited such spots.


The most popular xenogeneics there were the Fire Crows. Fire Crows were pure fire element creatures. They could spit streams of fire at their enemies, and they dined on the fire bugs that lived within the lava river.


They were small, though. Their bodies were only the length of a man’s finger, and no bigger than a bee. But there were many of them; a small murder of Fire Crows could contain ten thousand of the fiends.


Murders of Fire Crows like that were everywhere across the lava river. A large murder of Fire Crows could contain a whole million of them.


Normal Fire Crows were Barons and Viscounts. They would rarely become Earls, but a few Fire Crow kings could even become Marquises.


Because there were so many of them, only the kings of large murders could become Dukes.


The stories said that when the Ice Blue Knights first came, they cleared a large Fire Crow murder that contained over one billion of the feathery creatures. The Fire Crow king of that murder was a genuine King cla.s.s xenogeneic.


Han Sen believed that combining a Fire Crow beast soul with his Sun Raven beast soul would be successful, but he had no idea what sort of beast soul a Fire Crow would generate.


It would be perfect if it was a weapon beast soul. He already had a half-deified Demon Bug Bai Sema and a King Galactic Lobster set of armor, so when it came to defense, he was well-equipped. What he needed now was an equal amount of destructive power, which would allow him to slay powerful xenogeneics easily.


If he had a deified beast soul weapon, that would be absolutely perfect.


But Lava Valley wasn’t a location that was designated for Han Sen to clear. He didn’t want to go to Lava Valley without clearance and risk crossing a line with the Ice Blue Knights. Disobeying orders and venturing into an area he wasn’t supposed to would be very bad.


“How do I go to Lava Valley legitimately?” Han Sen wondered, annoyed by the wait.


The Shadow Queen Bee was drinking the yolk out of an egg. She had grown a lot thus far, and she was able to eat many xenogeneics. It wouldn’t take long for her to reach battle mode.


Bao’er patted Han Sen on the side and lifted a small device. “Dad, smile!”


Han Sen a.s.sumed a victory pose. The device was used for recording. They were tasked with keeping records of every place they visited.


They also made sure to record the scene that showed them clearing out the xenogeneics. It was the proof they needed to submit to receive their reward points.


Every team had one member recording a video of their achievements. In Han Sen’s team, Bao’er had gotten the job. She often loved recording things, and she had a lot of fun doing it.


“High cla.s.s xenogeneics are too rare here. We need to find another location,” Huangfu Jing told Han Sen. She also wasn’t happy being cooped up, and she craved a good challenge.


“I’m trying to think of a way,” Han Sen said, slumping his shoulders.


Han Yan didn’t like it, either. She thought for a moment, then said, “There aren’t even Marquise xenogeneics here. Quite frankly, this is pointless.”


Han Sen started to say something, but all of a sudden, he closed his mouth and looked down into the valley.


The deepest wall in the deepest recess of the valley was covered in a web of rugged cracks. A purple substance had begun leaking out of those crevices. There was only a small amount at first, but more and more of it seeped out as the seconds ticked by.


When Han Sen’s group saw it, they knew immediately that it wasn’t spring water. When they looked closer, they saw that the purple liquid was actually streams of small purple bugs. They were each about the size of a fingernail, and they looked like sawyer beetles. They were purple, with purple horns and a purple antenna.


Soon, the bugs were coming out like a stream of gus.h.i.+ng water, and they were flooding into the valley.


Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to scan them. He noticed that the bugs were not high level; judging from the life force they exuded, they were no greater than Barons. There was a mult.i.tude of them, but even so, they offered no genuine threat.


Han Sen and the others quickly established a plan to clear them. While they were not high-level foes, destroying them would be a good way to earn more points. If they wanted to come crawling out in search of death, Han Sen wouldn’t go easy on them.


But instead of attacking Han Sen’s group, the bugs streamed around them and left the valley as quickly as possible. They showed no interest in attacking anyone.


Seeing bugs behave like that, it was fair to a.s.sume they were running away from something.
