The old battleship was the only piece of technology that Han Sen could find on the island . All other landmarks were completely natural formations .
Han Sen and the others couldn’t really leave the white whale . Now and again, hordes of black snakes would emerge from the black sea to chow down on the mushrooms . But every time that happened, the white tiger beat them back .
Han Sen made many attempts to get rid of the mushrooms that were on each of their heads . All his efforts were in vain . Even if they managed to withstand the pain long enough to cut off the mushrooms, the roots were still embedded within their brains . It was only a matter of time before they grew back .
And the newly-grown mushrooms would be more colorful than ever . It made them want to cry .
Han Sen used his Original Water King Body, and as his body turned into liquid, the mushroom on his head lost its grip and fell to the floor .
The mushroom died quickly, and for a moment, Han Sen thought he was free . However, it wasn’t long before another mushroom grew atop his head .
Although the new mushroom looked the same as the old one, some instinct told Han Sen that it was actually different .
When Han Sen got rid of his mushroom, he quickly entered the core area . While he was in the core area, the mushrooms did not plague him . But if he left the core area, a new mushroom would immediately rise from his head .
Fortunately, aside from looking incredibly strange, the mushrooms didn’t seem to be harmful . They merely sat quietly atop the heads of Han Sen and his crew .
Meanwhile, Han Sen took the white whale back into the air to find a way out . But after making a few loops of the area, he would always end up returning to the familiar land of mushrooms .
The space faults and folds were too complicated, and they changed and morphed constantly . Unless the Black Hole Spider was killed and its space power disappeared, getting out of the beast’s stomach was an unachievable dream .
The pirates had gotten used to eating the mushrooms of the land by now . The mushrooms tasted reasonably good, but the pirates still got tired of eating them before too long . At least the different-looking mushrooms had different textures . That made the experience somewhat tolerable . And eating the different types of fungus was better than drinking tasteless nutrient solutions all the time .
Han Sen and Bao’er never ate those mushrooms, though . Bao’er kept the big ginseng with her at all times . She nibbled at it constantly . Still, despite the amount of time it had been in her possession, she had only managed to gnaw off its tip .
Han Sen didn’t eat much . He spent most of the time consuming King class genes .
The Extreme King elites like Meng Lie were still searching for Han Sen in the systems of chaos . They were about to go mad as they circled through the same dangerous systems time after time, but no matter what they did, they were unable to find Han Sen . That made them very depressed .
Han Sen still had both the Shield of the Medusa’s Gaze and Bai Wuchang . The Extreme King used every method at their disposal to try to locate Han Sen, but all of their efforts were fruitless . Han Sen and the others had completely disappeared, or so it felt like . No one could know for sure if he was dead or alive .
Han Sen summoned his Dongxuan Armor and entered the core area . Since he couldn’t find a way to leave the mushroom kingdom, he could hunt King class xenogeneics in the core area to max out his King genes .
Han Sen entered the core area, but before he could find anything to kill, Dia Robber and Dragon One were heading toward him . Han Sen was surprised .
“Dollar, can we talk?” Dia Robber said .
“Sure,” Han Sen said casually .
“We want to slay a deified core xenogeneic . Are you interested?” Dragon One came up to ask .
“I’m interested, but what benefits would I receive if I was to help you slay this deified xenogeneic? You probably wouldn’t give me the body of the deified xenogeneic, am I correct?” Han Sen said .
Dragon One and Dia Robber looked at each other . Dia Robber said, “The deified xenogeneic’s body would be the primary component for the crafting of deified treasures . We would need it . We’re asking you to help us because we require the body . But if you are willing to help, we can discuss a price and shares of the profits . You can have anything, as long as it isn’t the deified xenogeneic’s flesh . ”
Han Sen tapped his lip in thought . “I suppose I’d be okay with hunting a deified xenogeneic without receiving its flesh . But I would like one thousand King class core xenogeneic genes in exchange . ”
If Han Sen went after King class xenogeneics alone, simply finding them would take a long time . The fact that he could kill them easily would matter little . King class xenogeneics weren’t terribly common, and finding vast numbers of them would be difficult . God knew how long it would take him to get one thousand King class core genes alone .
Han Sen didn’t need just one thousand King class genes . If he wanted to max out the nine tiers of four different geno arts, he needed at least three thousand .
And he didn’t know if he would need more xenogeneic King class genes once his ninth tier reverted back to one . If so, he would require even more .
Rather than spending a few years to gather the genes he needed himself, this could be an opportunity to earn big . He could level up his areas fast this way, and become half-deified in no time .
“One thousand King class xenogeneic core genes? Isn’t that a bit too much to ask for?” Dragon One and Dia Robber looked glum .
That meant they had to kill one thousand King class xenogeneics . They didn’t know if they could even find that many xenogeneic Kings, let alone kill them all .
Even though the core area had many King class xenogeneics, one thousand of them was too much to ask for . With their strength, finding that many might take a few years .
“If you guys want me to support you in a deified battle, then give me something else of equal value and I might consider it . ” Han Sen’s face didn’t change .
“We asked you because we require your power, but one thousand King class core xenogeneic genes is simply too much . We cannot get that many out to give you, all of a sudden,” Dragon One said .
“You guys consider it, then . I have given you my price . If you think it is too much, then go and find someone else . ” Han Sen didn’t cut them any slack .
Dragon One and Dia Robber hesitated for a moment . Although Dollar looked very strong, he was just King class . Even if they got him to join their party, they might still fail to kill the deified they were after . So, they would have to find someone else . That offer was asking too much of them, without the guarantee of success . Anyone would hesitate before striking such a bargain .
While they were talking, a man rode up to them atop a golden lion .
“If the two of you are considering spending one thousand King class core genes to hire him, why don’t you just hire us? We are the Royal Knights . You can hire us for the same price, and we can guarantee the kill . If we fail, we will reimburse you . You two trust the reputation of the Royal Knights, don’t you?”
Han Sen looked back . It was the Extreme King’s crown prince, Wan Jie .
“Brother Dollar, can we discuss the price some more?” Instead of answering Prince Wan Jie, Dragon One remained focused on Dollar .
“I won’t go any lower . You can pay me five hundred first and the other five hundred after my task is done . If I fail to kill it, I still keep the first five hundred . Consider it a down payment for the effort I put into the attempt,” Han Sen said .
Dragon One and Dia Robber talked quietly amongst themselves, then Dia Robber said, “Okay Dollar, we will hire you to help us . Please come to our base so we can talk . ”
Han Sen and Bai Wan Jie were shocked . They couldn’t believe at the same price, with Bai Wan Jie guaranteeing the kill, Dragon One and Dia Robber still selected Han Sen .
