Super Gene Chapter 2655 - Deified Star Beetle

2655 Deified Star Beetle

This is exactly what I wanted, but this isnt the right time. I cant use beast souls to fight. I would have to use my own power to fight it, but Im afraid that wouldnt be enough to defeat a deified star beetle. Han Sen was troubled by this most recent development.

Star beetles were very good at physical-reinforcement. Even a primitive deified beetle would have a shell that was considerably harder than most primitive deifieds. Even if Han Sen could make use of his peacock soul robe or his Six Core Snake Bow, punching through that shell would be no small feat. Plus, there was the added fact that he couldnt make use of those tools right now.

Dont even think about tackling a deified star beetle. You are better off sticking with the King class star beetles to get your star fruit. Han Sen continued looking around for star beetles to slay.

He didnt know where the star beetles had flown in from, but there were indeed many of them. Han Sen had been worried that the tree might not have one thousand star beetles for him to kill, but now it looked like there were at least ten thousand star beetles descending on the tree.

When the star beetle swarm reached the tree, they spread out and landed on its leaves, branches, and fruit. Their sharp teeth began to gnaw on the star tree. And while the star tree was very hard, their teeth were sharp and hard enough to leave marks in the bark. It didnt seem like a big deal now, but if they kept chewing the tree like that every day, it would only be a matter of time before the tree fell.

Han Sen continued killing all that he could. He slew many star beetles, and in three or four hours, he had brought down five hundred of them. He had also earned three beast souls.

It looks like I should be able to kill two thousand star beetles before the timer is up. That means I will be able to grab twenty star fruits. But the star fruits are so big, how will I even cart them off? As Han Sen pondered this conundrum, he felt something cold approaching his back. He immediately teleported away.

After he teleported off, the deified star beetle reached his old position. It landed on a branch, and its small blue eyes peered at the newly re-positioned Han Sen.

Oh no! Why did this guy come here? Han Sen had deliberately avoided the deified star beetle as he moved on down the tree. He hadnt expected the powerful beetle to come after him and attempt a sneak attack.

Han Sen didnt have much time to think about it. The deified star beetle was attacking him again. Its blue body became lightning that zapped its way forward to reach Han Sen.

Han Sen wasnt fast enough to dodge the beetles charge with speed alone. He teleported away again. He put some distance between himself and the deified star beetle. He didnt stop there, either. He teleported again to get even farther away from his attacker.

But the deified star beetle wasnt keen on letting Han Sen off the hook. It continued to use its blue light to try to attack him, and Han Sens teleportation skills werent taking him far enough away. He couldnt shake off the star beetle. Every time Han Sen appeared out of a fresh teleportation, the star beetle was coming for him like a beam of blue light. Han Sen had no choice but to continue teleporting. He no longer had enough time to continue killing star beetles, as his focus rested on dealing with his new deified foe.

Han Sen couldnt help but frown. Because he was being pursued by the deified star beetle, he was missing out on any chance to kill the average star beetles. If he didnt kill one thousand beetles, he wasnt sure if the old man would allow him to collect star fruit.

Weird. Why wont this deified star beetle let me go? Han Sen frowned. This creature seemed very driven to attack him.

This is so strange. Why does this deified star beetle keep chasing Han Sen? Exquisite was confused, too. Star beetles werent very intelligent, and even finding the star tree was a matter of instinct for the creatures. If their intelligence had been higher, they would have fled the moment they saw the old man sitting beneath the tree.

Liyu Zhen laughed to himself. The moment the star beetles descended, he and Han Sen both saw them. After seeing the deified beetle, an idea hatched in his mind.

He didnt have the power to control the star beetle, but he didnt need to control the deified; he just needed to give the creature a target. Han Sen was hunting the star beetles, and wisps of the dead beetles presence would be clinging to his body. Liyu Zhen merely used a secret trick to enable the deified star beetle to smell the presence of the exterminating Han Sen. It drew the deified fiend to Han Sen exclusively.

This deified star beetles appearance has saved me a lot of trouble. I do still need to teach him that lesson, after all. I didnt even have to do this myself. Liyu Zhen stopped focusing on Han Sen, and he returned his focus to killing King class star beetles.

Even if Han Sen was able to escape the attacks of the deified star beetle, he wouldnt have the time to kill the King class star beetles anymore. He wouldnt achieve one thousand star beetle kills, which would keep him from earning any star fruits.

The old man squinted, but his face didnt change. Liyu Zhens trick had been done in secret, but it hadnt managed to escape his attention. Still, the old man didnt say anything.

He cared very little about a grudge between two boys. He only needed someone who could effectively protect the star tree.

For now, Liyu Zhens performance hadnt been bad. His abilities were higher than others of the same class. He could scrape by and be labeled guardian of the star tree.

The trick he used on Han Sen had been unfair, but it was also another way of proving his power.

Han Sen knew things couldnt keep going on this way. He didnt have the time to kill other star beetles, so if this continued, he would fail the test.

It looks like I cant get rid of it. In that case, I will just ignore it. Han Sens brain was spinning quickly.

Exquisite was worried about Han Sen, but what he did next shocked Exquisite even more.

Still being chased by the deified star beetle, Han Sen evaded the next attack, then headed toward a King class star beetle.

From the perspective of others, it might have looked like a coincidence. It would appear that when Han Sen dodged, he had just happened to encounter a King class star beetle and randomly kill it before teleporting away from the deified star beetles next attack. It all played out so smoothly. It was like one grand move that happened to look like a coincidence.

But Exquisite could clearly feel what Han Sen was thinking. This wasnt a coincidence. Han Sen was planning every move he made.

In this high-speed chase, Han Sen still had the power to plan all that. Exquisite knew his methods, but if she was in his shoes, she didnt think she could have pulled it off.

The old man, as he watched Han Sens latest performance, looked stunned.

Under the continued pursuit of the deified star beetle, Han Sen took down another King class star beetle. It was the same as before, and just as precise. The deified star beetles attacks didnt seem to be hampering him significantly. And he maintained the surgical precision of his attacks. The King class star beetles never had the chance to fight back, either, so they couldnt deal damage to the star tree.

He is so young, and yet he is still so calm. He hasnt freaked out, and he has continued to do everything he has planned to the best of his abilities. This crystallizer really is a genius. You picked a tremendous silkworm, the old man suddenly said to Exquisite.
