"Uncle Liu, can you provide us passage to this tree?" Han Sen asked, thinking to himself, "If the treasure is going to mature, I need to see it!"
"You don't want to go there; trust me . Countless creatures have amassed there . Your life is of considerably more important than the fruit," Liu Yunhui said .
They wouldn't take him there, no matter what Han Sen pleaded . Han Sen knew they were only being nice, but still, he wanted to see it .
So, Han Sen wasn't going to push the matter any further with them . He told them he'd at least like to be nosy and poke about their shelter .
They agreed to take him there, but Han Sen called for Moment Queen and Blue Dinosaur to accompany him . The dinosaur could fight two super creatures at once, easily . If he held them off, Han Sen believed he'd have more than enough time to grab the treasure all for himself .
The humans were living in fair conditions in that shelter, and doing quite well for themselves . They were allowed to bring Han Sen and Queen in with them .
Amongst the four, Wu Tian was the weakest . Although that was just relative, as he had opened six gene locks . Two of the others had opened seven, whereas Liu Yunhui had opened eight .

The reason they had so many gene locks open was because their spirit had provided them geno points .
The royal spirit that signed a contract with them had to have been really powerful . The humans, being of such strength, must have been quite important to the spirit, in return .
Wu Tian did not take them too far into the shelter . They walked around for a bit before they were told to leave .
Han Sen was going to offer to conquer the shelter on their behalf, but he wanted to take a look at the tree first .
Wu Tian told Liu Yunhui, "There is a ninety percent chance those two will go and look for the tree . "
Liu Yunhui replied to this, saying, "We advised them not to . If they continue, and something awry befalls them, on their heads be it . Their blood cannot be on our hands . "
"That's a shame . It's a waste of a stunning booty, in regards to that woman," Wu Tian said .

Han Sen and Queen walked a few additional miles before coming across Moment Queen and the dinosaur running towards them .
The dinosaur had gobbled up a bunch of scorpions along the way, and it looked excited .
"Why did you call me down this gloomy hole?" Moment Queen asked, and then started to sniff around as if in delight .
Han Sen took notice of the pleasant fragrance Moment Queen was smelling, too . It was as refreshing as it was surprising, given the environment .
To find the tree, all they had to do was follow their noses . As such, they did not require the humans to guide them there . Moment Queen looked as if she knew where the scent was coming from, otherwise she wouldn't have looked so strange and coy right now .
"It looks like you know what it is . Spare us both the trouble and just tell me," Han Sen told her .
If she wasn't going to be honest, Han Sen had a way in which he would deal with her .

Moment Queen knew the jig was up before it had even begun, and that her expression had sold her out . But she couldn't blame herself, as the scent took her by complete surprise . It was too late for her to say she didn't know anything now, though .
Moment Queen told Han Sen, "This scent reminds me of a tree I once knew . I'm not sure if it is the exact same tree, but it sure does smell similar . "
"And I'm sure you aren't mistaken, right?" Han Sen said with snark .
It was obvious Han Sen was warning her . If she was not telling him the truth now, even Moment Queen herself knew she'd be in hot water .
Moment Queen was a little mad at the comment, though . She said, "In the garden owned by my previous emperor, there was a Mother Tree . The smell is remarkably similar, that is all . I am not entirely certain, so it really won't be my fault if I am mistaken!"
"Why?" Han Sen asked .
Moment Queen sniffed and said, "The tree I used to know had been growing for thirty thousand years, and the smell was far weaker than this . So, like I said, I am not entirely certain . "
"What is that tree, then? What can it grow?" Han Sen asked .
"I don't know . I only saw it once, and the emperor did not tell me what manner of fruit it could grow . He only said it was an emperor tree that could benefit everything . " Moment Queen told Han Sen this, but it wasn't the truth .
She had seen the tree, but it hadn't ripened . The emperor, though, told her exactly what could be harvested from the tree, and that was why she was so shocked . If the emperor was telling the truth, it was no wonder he took such fond and delicate care of the tree . They were extremely difficult to come by .
Han Sen knew she wasn't telling him the whole story, though, and she was back to her conniving ways . As punishment, he returned her to the Sea of Soul .
Whatever she had planned, she could only sit back and watch now .
Moment Queen wanted to kill Han Sen more than ever, but it was a desire that had never truly gone away . She was planning on taking advantage of the tree, but now that Han Sen had put her back, she couldn't do a thing .
That being said, Han Sen did not care for her feelings, and so he just walked to the tree alongside Queen and the dinosaur .
The Blue Dinosaur seemed to very much enjoy that smell, too . Without even being commanded to, it eagerly led the way forward .
