Han Sen had heard about Outer Sky Shelter from Metal Demon . It was a super shelter, one that had greater notoriety and fame than even Sacred Shelter .
The King Bell geno core, which was in second place on the bronze geno core leaderboard, came from Outer Sky Shelter, as a matter of fact .
Qing Le did not want to take over this shelter, and he hadn't come here with any hostile intentions . Shadow Shelter was already a part of their territory, and there wasn't anything particularly special about it .
Qing Le had come here in search of Nan Litian, and he was dismayed to learn he had died .
While this news came as a disappointment, he also heard the latest leader was a human, too . As such, Han Sen was now the person he wanted to meet with .
"It is no wonder why Metal Demon and Six-Ear look so uncomfortable," Han Sen thought to himself . Then, thinking it was best to respond, Han Sen cleared his throat and said, "Do you need something?"

"We have found a shelter that is, as of yet, unclaimed . It is a strange place . Many creatures have tried to venture inside, only to be brutally hurt upon entry and forced to retreat . It is as if the place was warded against spirits and creatures . What is most peculiar about this shelter is the fact that only humans can enter without harm . Now that Nan Litian has passed away, the possible task of claiming this place falls to you . You can come along to check the place out, if you so wish," Qing Le explained the weird dilemma .
"Outer Sky Shelter cannot be completely devoid of humans . Why are you looking for the assistance of another human you don't even know?" Han Sen asked .
Qing Le said, "The shelter is controlled by a geno core, so we want to succeed in one swift venture . There are twenty-four candidates, all of which will go . The more humans that go there, the more chance of success we have . If you join, we can provide you with free geno fruits . "
"The fruits that increase super geno points?" Han Sen asked .
Qing Le smiled and admitted, "We have those, yes . And while we are generous, there are certain limits . Your reward will depend on your strength and the valor you demonstrate . If you go above and beyond what is expected, however, we can offer you something extra that is sure to satisfy you, and make this a venture well-worth . . . venturing . "
"That's nice to hear, but really, if I join . . . What kind of geno fruit can I expect?" Han Sen was not too interested in any extra goodies . He wanted fruit, first and foremost .

Outer Sky Shelter was packed to the gills with elites of the strongest variety . If they truly only needed humans for this task, the place they were going was more than creepy .
Han Sen was planning to reject whatever was offered by the spirit, thinking the endeavor was too risky . He didn't know what he was being told was the truth, either .
It was good to have geno fruits, but dying before he could taste them was just pointless . Han Sen was willing to go if he had maxed out his geno points, but alas, that was not the case .
"We were planning to offer Nan Litian twenty sacred-blood geno fruit . They were even set aside for him . If you come along, you can have those . As a matter of fact, you can enjoy them now before you accompany the task force . Think of it as a sign of good faith, and a gesture for future prosperity between our shelters," Qing Le said . He spoke with grace .
Han Sen knew it was difficult to kill sacred-blood creatures, and he had only just recovered from his ordeal with the mantis . To receive a free twenty sacred-blood geno fruits was rather incredible .

But still, he didn't think it was worth risking his life for . So, Han Sen told Qing Le, "Thank you, but no thank you . This price is far too low . "
"Well, how many would you accept? Like I said, we are generous . . . but there are limits . Don't give me a ridiculous sum, that is all I ask," Qing Le said .
"I only have a bronze geno core; are you sure you need me along?" Han Sen really did not want to go, but rejecting the spirit outright was rude . This was one of the many excuses he had prepared .
"I know a thing or two about negotiations and diplomacy . You speak as if you really were weak, but you and I both know a simple hick with a measly bronze geno core is not the sort of fellow who could claim a shelter such as this . And these followers; well, from their diversity and strength, they don't seem like the sort to obey a leader who, again, has only one measly bronze geno core . This is a gold shelter, after all . Now, we aren't ready to move just yet . We are still in the process of assembling the group that will go, but if you insist, I can provide you with an additional ten sacred-blood fruits . That brings the sum to thirty . "
Han Sen said, "To be honest with you, sacred-blood fruits aren't what I'm after . If I could have but one super geno fruit, I'll do it . "
Han Sen believed only a madman would agree to such a bargain . The spirit before him would probably balk and claim the request to be preposterous . Super fruits were extremely rare, after all .
But Qing Le smiled and said, "We won't force you to come along, but Sacred Shelter knows this place exists . And if they try to claim that shelter first, they will come here just as we have done . Except they won't be as nice as I am, and they most certainly won't offer you fruit and provide you the choice . "
Then, Qing Le tossed something to Han Sen . "If you change your mind, take this to Qiluo Shelter . I'm going around to ask other humans, in the meantime . If you wish to find me, once I am done, I'll be there . "
Han Sen accepted it, and before he knew it, Qing Le was already gone .
Han Sen opened the parchment, and it was a scroll . On it, there was a drawing of the shelter they were supposed to go to . There were a few other drawings on it, too, each showcasing the shelter from a different perspective .
They weren't the only ones who had found the shelter, so it most certainly wasn't a secret if they were handing maps like this out .
However, when Han Sen's eyes glanced across one drawing in particular, his pupils beaded .
