Han Sen wanted to see the Holy Vine and the Holy Fruit, which were in the Dark Spirit Shelter . Many super creatures occupied that place, though, so he knew he couldn't just go there .
"Wait a bit and we will go," Han Sen said . Just as he was about to return to their shelter, he heard an echo coming from a nearby tunnel . It sounded like a rat nibbling wood .
"What was that?" Han Sen frowned .
When Ling Mei'er heard the sound, her face changed . "No! Why are there Corpse-Chewing Maggots here?"
"What is a Corpse-Chewing Maggot?" Han Sen asked her .
"A scary creature that is native to the Underworld . They can eat anything they desire, and wherever they go, things won't grow in their wake . If they head towards us, that will be very unfortunate . It is highly likely the shelter we have just claimed would be lost . " Ling Mei'er was speaking in a rush .
"What's their level?" Han Sen asked .

"They are sacred-blood creatures . But they grow quickly, and it's their gemstone geno cores that make them as strong and fearsome as they are . Creatures of the same level would have no chance of breaking their shells, unless they were unnaturally powerful . And if you can't penetrate their shells, you won't be able to kill them . " Ling Mei'er's face turned bitter with disdain for them, and she went on to say, "But they've never come this way before . Why are they showing up here now?"
"Can Snake King do something about them?" Han Sen listened to the chewing sound, and as he spoke, he noticed its volume increasing . It was coming closer .
"He will take no part in this . The only thing Snake King will do is take me away to someplace safer . He won't help repel them . " Ling Mei'er shook her head .
As they discussed this, one of the bugs appeared around a bend in the distance . It looked like a crab . On its back-shell, there was a white pattern that resembled a face . The claws it wielded were sharp, and so were the fangs that protruded from its rotten mouth .
The creature was built like a little tank, and its overall color was black like obsidian .
When Han Sen scanned its lifeforce, he was able to confirm it was indeed a sacred-blood creature . Han Sen's fitness was definitely at the necessary level to take it down, but his geno cores were still not up to par .
But the Crystal Egg and Bulwark Umbrella's power would at least make the fight a touch easier . Real Blood and the powerful coins were special, too, and Han Sen had a few tricks and techniques he wanted to try out in battle .
The maggot then started heading their way without hesitation or restraint; naturally, Han Sen rightfully assumed it was coming for them .

Without time to mull the situation over, he knew he had to spring into action . So, Han Sen took off flying to meet with it . Although Ling Mei'er was the heir of a super creature, her geno core was incredibly weak .
Han Sen took to the subterranean skies like a strange bird in flight . He swooped down just past the bug and delivered a mighty strike to its back .
He didn't use Super Spank . His fitness level, combined with the boosts of super king spirit mode, were no joke and should have been enough .
When Han Sen first became a demi-god, he had eight thousand fitness . Ordinary geno points boosted that figure up an additional two thousand . Primitive gave him a bonus of four thousand . Mutant points gave him an extra eight thousand . Sacred-blood geno points gave him an additional sixteen thousand .
Han Sen's fitness, in total, had reached thirty-eight thousand . He was getting close to forty thousand .
And with super king spirit mode, sacred-blood creatures had no chance of withstanding the devastating blows he could deliver .
But just as Han Sen punched it, the face upon the maggot's backside began to glow brightly . When his fist came into contact with the shell, it was like bringing a fist to steel . He dealt no damage, and only the loud sound of ringing metal could be heard .

Inside a cave, Spirit Thirteen and his father, Spirit Twelve, watched Han Sen fight .
Seeing Han Sen punch it, Spirit Twelve could not help but laugh . "His punch far exceeds that of a sacred-blood creature . There is no way Ling Mei'er tamed such a being; the elder must have given it to her . "
"He is so strong . What if he manages to kill the Corpse-Chewing Maggot?" Spirit Thirteen asked, with worry .
Spirit Twelve looked disdainful, and he said, "Even if he can kill sacred-blood creatures with ease, he has no hope of defeating a wretch like that . The maggots have a Ghost Armor geno core, which provides incredibly high defense . Unless he is an elite of the highest order, he won't be able to break the geno core . "
Han Sen fought with the creature for a while as those two spoke between each other . Try as he might, though, he had found no success in penetrating the shell .
He could tell the shell was its geno core, however, and that the real bug was inside that hardy carapace .
"Do you think this measly armor can stop the likes of me?!" Han Sen used Yin Yang Blast, and with his Yin Force, he drove a fist right into the middle of the creature's belly .
Han Sen was left reeling in shock . Not even that punch worked, and there was a chance the creature itself was just as strong as the shell .
The claws of the bug ground across the rocks as it moved . It had found itself unable to deal with its primary aggressor, Han Sen, and it thought Ling Mei'er would make a far more viable target . It was going for her .
Ling Mei'er went to hide as the maggots scratched marks into the ground scrambling after her . It then went for Mask Shelter .
The shelter's gate was closed tight, and there were defensive wards in place . But this did not deter the maggot; it simply ran up to the gate and began banging on it like a siege engine .
After a big boom, the gates swung open and the warding broke . The creatures Ling Mei'er had collected were all still inside .
The maggot ran in and immediately grabbed a snake creature . Quickly, it began to devour it .
Han Sen frowned and started to gather power in a coin . He fired it at the bug, which made it move slower . The maggot looked as if it was hauling rocks with its new speed .
Han Sen wanted to kill the maggot, but all of a sudden, he saw many more of those same creatures appear . There had to be at least a dozen of them . One of them was even twice as large as the one Han Sen had been dealing with . It was clearly the king of the maggot enclave .
Spirit Thirteen was excited seeing this, and he said, "Father, you are too good! You own this group of maggots!"
