Han Sen had saved ten bucks and knew he could not wait any longer . If the dinosaur lost its grip of the scorpion, he'd lose its position and lose the only chance he had in ending the threat .
A coin, with the number ten on it, was set free to spiral through the air and home in on its target .
And then, it stopped . It stood still in the air and did not drop, as if it was defying gravity and the laws of physics themselves .
Boom!
Something dropped from the air and created a massive crater in the ground .
The blue dinosaur let go of the scorpion and leaped away .
The coin was on the sand, quivering and trembling after its discharge . The scorpion did not die, though, despite the vast surge of power it had just been a victim of .
The coin began to move, still fixed on its target . With this marking his foe, Han Sen fired a barrage of coins to accompany it .
Those coins had not been buffed by Saving Money, but the super king spirit mode was still fueling their firing, and that was more than enough to damage the scorpion .
Pang!
It sounded as if a watermelon had just greeted a sledgehammer in full swing . The coins were sinking into the invisible target, despite Han Sen not being able to see what damage he had actually caused .
"Berserk Super Creature Transparent King Scorpion killed . Beast soul gained . The flesh of this creature is inedible, but you may harvest its Life Geno Essence . Consume its Life Geno Essence to gain zero to ten super geno points randomly . "
Han Sen was delighted to have received the beast soul from such a terrifying foe; it had to be amazing, whatever it was .
Han Sen quickly ran to the sandpit and picked through the invisible carcass to collect the Life Geno Essence . He found an invisible crystal and assumed that had to be it .
The blue dinosaur approached Han Sen, not looking hostile at all .
Han Sen examined the creature's wounds . They looked rather ghastly, but they didn't seem to have done any lasting, permanent damage .
"This guy is a super meatshield . It's the worst job I can think of, but someone has to do it . " Han Sen patted the dinosaur's head .
Han Sen let the dinosaur stay in the valley . And then, he rode Golden Growler back to the shelter as he was too weak to fly .
Han Sen was keen to find out what had happened to Uncle Bug's son . He had slain the scorpion, so he wished to see whether or not the son would be given back his life, free at last .
If Han Sen only wanted to help his son, he wouldn't have had to go through all the trouble—he'd only have to end the man's life .
But before Han Sen entered the shelter, he saw Uncle Bug walk out with his son's body in his arms . He looked as if he had been crying a lot .
Han Sen sighed in his heart, painfully admitting to himself, "I was unable to save him . "
But Uncle Bug was not mad . He was able to lift a genuine smile at Han Sen, and when he approached, he told him, "Thank you for freeing him from the painful existence I forced upon him . Before he . . . left this world, we had a discussion unlike we have ever had . He was happy . And that makes me happy . "
"Uncle Bug . . . " Han Sen did not have the words to respond .
But Uncle Bug did not expect anything . He said, "Little Yan wished to be buried in a grove he very much used to love . When I am done, I will seek you out . "
After that, Uncle Bug walked into the forest with a composure that was a mixture of both sadness and happiness . It was bittersweet .
Han Sen needed to wait until Uncle Bug returned, so he decided to examine the beast soul he had received .
Berserk Super Beast Soul Transparent King Scorpion: Gem Type
Han Sen felt the presence of a transparent gem in his hand . It could not be seen, but Han Sen knew the scorpion was inside it . Han Sen had received a gem beast soul before . They could be fused with another beast soul to increase their power .
Han Sen could use it on any beast soul, and it'd level up to a berserk super beast soul . It'd be given the power and might of the scorpion .
While he could do this with any beast soul he wanted, it was always best to infuse a gem beast soul with the same type of sacred-blood beast soul .
Han Sen did not know which element this was, so it was tricky . If he could find or purchase a sacred-blood scorpion beast soul to infuse it with, the success rate would be solid, though .
"Should I have an armor beast soul? And if so, would that mean I could be invisible? Or should I opt for a weapon? If it was a weapon, they wouldn't even know I was near . If I do go for a weapon, though, I should go for an arrow . " Han Sen had many different ideas, all as good as each other .
Uncle Bug did not return for a while and wouldn't, so he brought out the Life Geno Essence he had collected . Han Sen had not been able to see the scorpion's energy flow, so without being able to simulate its power, he was unable to absorb it .
But Han Sen still had another two Life Geno Essences to absorb, both of which were already in-process . Perhaps he could absorb this one when his Dongxuan Sutra was better .
Uncle Bug returned that night .
Han Sen was not going to invade his privacy at once, and so he planned to give him some space first . Not everyone could remain calm following the death of their son .
"Follow me . " But Uncle Bug approached Han Sen and told him to come; then, he led Han Sen to his room .
Han Sen followed . He wished to say something comforting, but he could not formulate such words .
"Thanks to you, both me and Little Yan can be at peace . You eased our sorrows, son . " Uncle Bug shut the door and proceeded to brew a pot of tea, which he then served to Han Sen .
"But I was unable to save him," Han Sen said with a wry smile .
Uncle Bug said, "I forced him to live one hundred years longer than he should ever have had to, in an existence that was nothing but pain . If I had the chance to go back in time, I'd have allowed him to die . "
Han Sen remained silent, unsure of what to say .
Uncle Bug acknowledged this and just smiled . Then he said, "Ask me what you want to know . "
