Han Sen sat down near the campfire and started cooking another bee .
So far, he had only cooked four out of the sixteen he had hunted . He had eaten one, and so had the rabbit king .
Han Sen did what he could to make the bee taste the best it could .
Han Sen had been grilling food for many years now, and he had become a bona fide master of the art . He was the king of cuisine, when it came to outdoor cooking and grilling .
This latest bee was laden with the perfect assortment of his best spices . This was the perfection of the culinary arts, and a mere gander at what he had cooked was enough to make the most stoic vegan drool copious amounts of saliva .
After the rabbit was done gnawing on two bees, Han Sen's latest masterpiece had almost been completed . When the furry fiend was done, it turned its attention to the one that was now being grilled .
Surprisingly, it did not immediately grab it . The rabbit simply watched it get cooked in captivated silence .
This wasn't at all what Han Sen expected, but he was glad the rabbit wasn't rude enough to steal the unfinished food .
"What's wrong with this thing, I wonder?" Han Sen finished cooking the bee and then stood up .
Seeing Han Sen put down the bee for it, the rabbit kicked its feet together in a joyous leap and began scoffing it all down .
"Yes, eat it . Eat it all . This will be your last meal . " Han Sen watched the rabbit and smiled menacingly .
Although it surely tasted divine, Han Sen had left one of the bee's poison sacs inside .
This poison could numb and paralyze the tongue, but with the spices he had used, Han Sen was sure the rabbit wouldn't be able to detect what it was eating .
He didn't expect it to actually kill the rabbit, but making it sick would be enough for him .

Han Sen continued to watch the rabbit, anticipating the moment it'd fall under the effect of the poison .
After a few more mouthfuls, the rabbit suddenly froze in place . A white substance frothed from its mouth, before it collapsed to the ground and began convulsing .
Han Sen watched with a captivated stare . His ploy had been more effective than he believed it would be, and he was pleasantly surprised at how low the rabbit's resistance to poison was .
"Is this really a sacred-blood creature?" Han Sen ran over to the rabbit and watched its lifeforce begin to fade while its body twitched in agony .
Han Sen stroked its fur, and was surprised to see that its shield had vanished . From his light touch, the rabbit started to bleed .
The rabbit was far weaker than he believed it to be . He was quite shocked .
Weak . It was unimaginably weak .
The sacred-blood rabbit was actually just as weak as an ordinary rabbit .
The sacred-blood rabbit was actually just as weak as an ordinary rabbit .
"How is that even possible? How can a creature with seven gene locks open be so weak? How can such a weak creature possess the fitness level required to be a sacred-blood creature?" Han Sen was frozen in disbelief, watching the rabbit's lifeforce fizzle away .
The rabbit was dying, but before it completely gave up the ghost, Han Sen decided to be merciful . With his holy light, he opted to heal the rabbit and purify the toxins in its body .
Han Sen did not believe it was a sacred-blood creature . It was impossible for a sacred-blood creature to be that weak .
The only possibility for its weakness, Han Sen hypothesized, was that it had somehow managed to open seven gene locks while being an ordinary creature .
As unbelievable as it sounded, it was the only explanation he could think of .
If it was just an ordinary creature, killing it would have been pointless . He didn't need ordinary geno points anymore, so being merciful wasn't a problem .
And besides, this was a puzzling creature . And the enigma fascinated him so much, he really desired to know how this strange anomaly had occurred .
If a human with a fitness of three hundred had opened their second gene lock, they'd be considered a genius . Opening a third gene lock would have made them a legend, and such a feat would require much time and talent .
Just like Han Sen, who was very talented . He would have been capable of doing this, had he remained at the same fitness level and trained for two years .

If he had the opportunity to get extra geno points, he could have opened three gene locks . But that would be as far as he could go .
But Han Sen was not interested in doing things this way . He wanted to do things fast and hard, unlocking gene locks and amassing fitness levels the quickest way possible . The speed at which he gained power was something few would believe, though .
Much like the rabbit, no one would believe him if he said he had opened seven gene locks .
"This rabbit must have received one h*ll of an opportunity, to achieve this . Can I somehow extract a benefit of my own, following this discovery?" Han Sen pondered to himself, as he continued healing the sick rabbit .
Han Sen really wanted to find out what was wrong with the rabbit king .
A short while later, the rabbit seemed to be getting better . Before long, it was able to open its eyes again .
The rabbit, despite what Han Sen had done, was not aggressive . It remained still, accepting all the healing it was given .
