Chapter 922: Taking Food from a Dragon

The vine's height was approximately fifty meters tall . Beside it, rested a wyvern .
Han Sen had detected a large lifeforce coming from the fruit on the vine, but he had also detected a large lifeforce coming from the wyvern . If he had to estimate, he'd have guessed it was at least a sacred-blood creature .
"My dagger is too short for me to slay a forty-meter-tall wyvern . There's no use trying to stab him, and I'd have better luck trying to tickle it to death . " Han Sen observed the fruit and the vine and continued thinking, "But that? Stealing that should be no problem . "
The fruit generated a golden mist, and it looked as if it would still take a while for it to mature .
Unfortunately, the shelter would only be around for the day, so Han Sen could not wait for that .
He instead planned on using his black crystal to drain the vine and fruit of their energy . With the waterdrops he'd get from those, he could get any kind of fruit he wanted .
Han Sen ran back to the shelter and had Chu Ming go and look for Qu Lanxi .
Han Sen would need her help, to do what he planned to . He wanted her to mask his scent for when the time came . The wyvern was still asleep, so the sooner the better .
Before long, Qu Lanxi arrived . She used her powers to erase Han Sen's smell .
"You have one minute . I have only opened my first gene lock, so I apologize it cannot be any more effective . In one minute, your scent will return," Qu Lanxi said .
"One minute is enough, thank you . Return to the shelter, just in case things go awry . " Han Sen, from the safe proximity of the shelter, took off running towards the wyvern .
Although she would have liked to help Han Sen, there was nothing she could do . So, as instructed, she returned back inside .
Han Sen activated his dongxuan aura and used it to observe both the wyvern and the vine .
He was able to feel the lifeforce clearly, unlike ever before . He could even alter his own lifeforce signature and flow .
The extent of this ability was still fairly short, however . He could not control the lifeforce of the wyvern, either, so there was nothing he could do there .
Han Sen thought, although it wasn't effective, he could erase the signature of his lifeforce so the dragon could not sense him .
Han Sen tried it out and it worked . It didn't hamper or hinder his lifeforce in any way, but it made others unable to detect it .
He was afraid of waking up the wyvern, but now he knew he had nothing to worry about . With both his lifeforce and scent gone, it'd be impossible for the wyvern to detect his presence . The only way it would know Han Sen was around, was if it could see him with its eyes .
"This is perfect for assassination . " Han Sen was amazed at his new-found ability, but he had no time to lose . Quickly, he went behind the vine . He was afraid of waking the wyvern, so he didn't take the fruit . If he did, it might have roused the wyvern and it'd be extremely difficult for him to absorb the life of the vine and avoid being its breakfast at the same time .
If Han Sen erased the lifeforce signature of the fruit, the wyvern was sure to recognize it was gone and that something was amiss, too . It'd wake up in a foul mood then, as well .
Activating his black crystal, Han Sen placed his hand on the vine and absorbed its lifeforce like mad .
Without the lifeforce, it aged rapidly .
The wyvern, noticing this, woke up . It opened its eyes and looked at the vine .
The wyvern then stared at Han Sen .
"Oh, hello there . Did you enjoy your nap?" Han Sen's hand remained firmly planted on the vine, as he tried to absorb as much of its lifeforce as he could . His other hand was waving at the wyvern jovially, as if he was trying to say hello to an old friend .
The wyvern was immediately confused by Han Sen's presence there . Two seconds later, it snapped out of its post-sleep daze and roared madly . Like a geyser, lava was fired out of its mouth in Han Sen's direction . It had acknowledged what was going on, and it wasn't keen on letting the meddler who robbed him of his plant the chance to live .
When Han Sen saw the lava head his way, he had no choice but to turn around and run, even though there was much still left to absorb .
The cascade of lava was incredibly frightening, and it made Han Sen wonder how many gene locks the wyvern had opened .
Sacred-blood creatures could unlock up to eight gene locks, though finding such creatures was quite difficult .
Although Han Sen ran fast, the beam of lava was too wide and it managed to just about singe his clothing . Fortunately, he was not dealt damage .
But he felt the heat, and in it, he felt as if he was being roasted alive inside an oven .
Because Han Sen had a sacred-blood iron bug armor, and he had many fire geno points, his resistances were high enough for him not to receive any damage .
As frightening as the blast of lava was, its spread meant the damage it could inflict was weaker .
Han Sen quickly fled the scene and ran back to the shelter .
The wyvern spat out a fireball, forming a deep hole . Not only the ground and grass were melted, but entire trees and rocks were instantly turned into molten lava .
Han Sen was happy that the wyvern did not use the fireball in the very beginning because, if it had, he believed himself to most likely be dead now .
The wyvern continued roaring, but as suspected, it did not dare approach the shelter . Han Sen was extremely grateful for this, and he was much relieved .
Looking into his Sea of Soul, he was delighted . Although he had only absorbed a small amount of the vine's lifeforce, he had managed to obtain eight-hundred waterdrops .
Every drop was worth a whole year of growth and as such, it was a most mighty reward for his endeavour .
"With these waterdrops, I can grow the Dragon-Blood Tree and the Blood Pine!" Han Sen, waving at the wyvern, descended back down into the shelter .
