Chapter 2715. Gru's Invitation
“It’s a shame I can’t go back to the sanctuaries right now. Otherwise, I could grab a creature and feed this crystal to it. Then, I could confirm that this is really the same black crystal I found a long time ago,” Han Sen said after a think.
Suddenly, Han Sen’s eyes brightened with a thought. “I don’t have access to the creatures of the sanctuary, but there are xenogeneics within range. If I grab one and use it to test the crystal, it might yield the same results.”
Once Han Sen decided what to do, he didn’t have to go far to test his theory. He would just grab a King class Star Beetle from the Star Tree.
Han Sen arrived at the Star Tree a short time later, but after half a day of searching, he failed to find a single Star Beetle. Since Star Beetles were no longer an option, Han Sen tried to decide where else he might look.
“It looks like the Star Beetles aren’t back yet,” he murmured to himself. “I guess I will forget about continuing my search for them.”
Han Sen jerked his head up as he noticed a presence approaching the Star Tree. When the distant figure drew closer, he recognized that it was Gru from the Extreme King.
“This is the Star Tree. Without the leader’s permission, you cannot enter here,” Han Sen said, blocking Gru’s passage.
In fact, Han Sen didn’t actually have to warn the man. There was a seal around the Star Tree already. If any creature entered the area without permission, an alarm would be triggered.
“I was looking for you at Underworld Lake,” Gru answered. “I couldn’t find you there, so I thought you might be here. It looks like I was correct.”
