"That is a copper fruit; they tend to grow in the tangled depths of Thorn Forest . Where did you get this from?" Yu Yan looked surprised .
"I collected them from a vine that was growing in the Jade-Scale River," Han Sen said .
"You are incredibly fortunate . The seeds must have been carried along the stream somehow, and grew along the banks of that river," Yu Yan hypothesized .
"Would you accept this in exchange for your wind beast?" Han Sen asked again .
"Yes, that sounds like a fair deal . Had I tamed it, its sale would go for more than one single copper fruit . Alas, I failed, so one will do . It is a fair exchange, I would say . Go on, take what remains of the beast . " Yu Yan accepted the copper fruit and allowed Han Sen to take the beast away .
Han Sen removed the coins that were weighing down the beast . Due to the injuries it had received, it couldn't move or attack with or without them . With Golden Growler carrying the wolf, Han Sen returned home for the day .
Han Sen wanted to see if he could tame the beast . If it had indeed come from Thorn Forest, it had to be knowledgeable about the area . A companion such as that would be invaluable when the time came for him to enter that place .
If Han Sen could tame it successfully, entering Thorn Forest would be a far safer trek . If he failed to tame it, progress would be slow .
Qu Lanxi and Chu Ming returned home before Han Sen . They saw a couple of bowls laid out, filled with meat .
"Looks like San Mu saved it for us . Oh well, I suppose we should eat it . " Chu Ming heated the contents of the bowls up for them to eat .
"Our basic geno points are full, though . 'Tis a waste to eat it; don't you think we should save it for San Mu?" Qu Lanxi said .
"It's just meat . We'll give him other meat, next time we cook . " Chu Ming tucked into the meal as soon as he said this .
The Coin Toad was ugly, but after being skinned and prepared properly, its flesh was soft and succulent . It was better than the average toad or frog .
After downing a mouthful, Chu Ming stopped still and said, "What the hell?"
"What's wrong with that meat? Is it raw?" Qu Lanxi asked, in confusion .
"This . . . this . . . this is ordinary flesh . . . I just had a bite and lo and behold, my ordinary geno points increased!" Chu Ming was so shocked that he struggled to get his words out .
"No way . Are you certain?" Qu Lanxi could not believe it, and she believed he was pranking her . But when she tried it, she too froze .
"See? This is ordinary flesh! By the sanctuaries, San Mu killed an ordinary creature! How is such a thing possible?" Chu Ming ate more and more of the meal, and his ordinary geno points went up in tandem .
He finished the stew, and just like Han Sen, his point total went up by three .
Qu Lanxi looked confused, struggling to comprehend how Han Sen had managed to kill an ordinary creature .
"We have to ask him where this Coin Toad came from . Perhaps we can slay a few more!" Chu Ming said, with much excitement .
They waited for Han Sen's return, and before long, he came strolling through the yard atop Meowth . Golden Growler was by his side, carrying the severely wounded wind beast .
"San Mu! Where did you get the . . . Holy shura! Is that a wind beast?!" Before Chu Ming could finish his sentence, he saw the ravaged body of the wolf and was delivered another shock .
"Wind beast!" Qu Lanxi said, in fright . She looked at Golden Growler, which was carrying the beast .
When Yu Yan managed to capture the wind beast, he made sure to show it off and let everyone know it had opened four of its gene locks . It was a creature that everyone knew about .
But since then, no one had seen it . Everyone eventually came to the correct conclusion that he had not been successful in taming the beast, else he would have been showing that off, as well .
"San Mu, where did you get this from? And where in the sanctuaries did you kill that Coin Toad?" Chu Ming had a lot to ask .
"Didn't I tell you? I killed that toad along the banks of the river . And as for this wind beast, I received it from Yu Yan after trading it for a copper fruit I managed to obtain . " Han Sen disembarked Meowth and brought the wind beast further into the yard .
The wind wolf was dying, and it could hardly whimper . Still, it looked at Han Sen with eyes of contempt . Even in its bloody, charred state, it looked like a beast that shouldn't be trifled with .
"Wait, what copper fruit? And furthermore, how did you slay an ordinary toad?" Chu Ming's confusion was only getting worse .
"I came across an injured Coin Toad by happenstance . It had a strange vine near it, which had three fruit growing on it . " Han Sen told them his tale . He mostly told them the truth, save for the Coin Toad's injury .
"You are incredibly fortunate! But dumb, too . Why would you trade two copper fruits for a seed and a wind beast? Copper fruits come in handy, when it comes to evolving creatures . They are far more valuable than seeds . The wind beast was a great get, but it is a waste if you are unable to tame it . You could buy two whole creatures worth of meat for one single copper fruit . " Chu Ming looked at Han Sen as if he had squandered a lottery winning .
"Well, I'm going to see if I can tame this thing . " Han Sen smiled .
"Impossible . We are humans; we can't tame things . How are you going to tame it, when the knight spirit failed?" Chu Ming shook his head disapprovingly .
"Nothing is impossible, but that attitude can certainly make tall tasks seem so . " Han Sen smiled again .
Han Sen had managed to tame many creatures in the Second God's Sanctuary, and he didn't think getting their allegiance was a difficult task .
Qu Lanxi only listened to their conversation . She believed San Mu was someone quite special, and the things that he did shocked her a lot .
Killing the Coin Toad and obtaining copper fruit didn't seem to be something he had happened to stumble upon through luck alone .
And for that Dragon-Blood Tree to come back to life following his arrival, that would be far too much of a coincidence .
She looked at San Mu with a complicated expression, but she did not say anything .
They hadn't been together for long, but she did not think Han Sen was a bad person . His achievements came as quite a surprise, though .
"Is there a person named Han in the alliance?" Qu Lanxi frowned .
