However, fusion transformation-type beast souls are also among the most restricted beast souls, because they fuse directly with the human body, causing tremendous changes. If the body's own genes are not strong enough, it simply cannot withstand the physical impact of the transformation.

The stronger the alien creature, the stronger the human genes and physique needed to endure the damage transformation inflicts on the body.

Generally speaking, if you use a primitive-level beast soul to transform and possess one point of primitive gene, you can achieve a perfect transformation within one minute without harming your body. With ten points of primitive gene, you can sustain it for ten minutes.

If you possess mutant genes, then roughly one point of mutant gene allows for a perfect transformation for ten minutes.

The reverse is also true: if you have ten points of primitive gene, you can sustain a mutant-level beast soul transformation for one minute.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher is a god-blood beast soul. Henry Carter has eight points of god gene, and can only last eight minutes. Even if you add up all his current ordinary, primitive, and mutant genes, he still can't last ten minutes.

It's fine for escaping, but if he really had to fight desperately against Divine Son and his group, at most he could risk his life to kill one or two people.

No one can see the god-blood beast soul, but the golden giant axe can't be stored in the void like a beast soul. This time, although he mainly offended Divine Son, after all, it was a joint operation of Brother Grant and the other two families. The golden giant axe is their shared interest. This time, Henry Carter has basically offended all three major forces of Steel Armor Shelter, so naturally he can't swagger back with the golden giant axe. He can only temporarily bury it here.

"If only I could sell the golden giant axe, I wouldn't have to worry about two million." After burying the golden giant axe, Henry Carter was still feeling excited.

Although god-blood treasures aren't as valuable as god-blood beast souls, they're still priceless. If he could sell it, two million would be nothing.

As for the god-blood beast soul, Henry Carter never even considered selling it. This is his foundation for survival in the world of God's Sanctuary. Selling it would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs—there's no need to even consider it.

When he returned to Steel Armor Shelter, he saw from a distance that Ryan Russell was leading people to guard the city gate, checking everyone entering and leaving the shelter one by one.

"You think you can see what beast souls I have?" The golden giant axe was already buried, so Henry Carter was naturally unafraid and walked straight into the city.

When Henry Carter reached the gate, he was stopped. A young man was about to search him, but Ryan Russell said coldly from the side, "Why waste time on that loser? Could someone like him be the Gold Coin?"

"Get lost, don't get in the way here." The young man shoved Henry Carter viciously and turned to search someone else.

Henry Carter glanced at Ryan Russell, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and walked into Steel Armor Shelter.

The whole street was abuzz with talk about the Sunset Slope incident. Henry Carter heard them all calling Brother Grant, and couldn't help but curse under his breath: "Damn Sophie Brooks, of all the names to pick, he had to choose '币哥', and now it's turned into Brother Grant. So vulgar."

But hearing that Divine Son was so furious he almost smashed his house to pieces made Henry Carter feel much better. In high spirits, he strode toward his room.

……

In a room, Sophie Brooks stood before Emily Bennett with a miserable face, almost on the verge of tears. "Sister Emily, you have to believe me, I've told you everything I know. I really don't know Gold Coin, I just saw him once in Gale Valley and bought some Swift Mantis from him. I even gave those mantises to the brothers to try. If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Lewis and the others—it was them who helped me carry the mantises back from Gale Valley."

"I'm not here to settle scores with you right now. I want you to contact that Gold Coin and tell him I'm willing to pay a high price for his god-blood beast soul and god-blood treasure. Let him name his price." Emily Bennett said calmly.

"But I really don't know where he is!" Sophie Brooks said, frustrated.

"Then go find him. Keep looking until you do. But don't tell anyone about this—just look for him quietly yourself. If you succeed, I'll reward you handsomely." With that, Emily Bennett waved her hand, not giving Sophie Brooks a chance to argue, signaling him to leave.

After Sophie Brooks left with a miserable face, Emily Bennett frowned and muttered to herself, "Who exactly is Gold Coin? One of Brother Grant's people? Or is it all a show put on by Divine Son? If he really doesn't belong to any faction, can I bring him over to my side? If not, just being able to buy the god-blood beast soul and god-blood treasure would be good enough."

Almost at the same time, Brother Grant also instructed his trusted men to quietly look for Gold Coin, hoping to buy the god-blood beast soul and god-blood treasure from him.

Although it was a joint operation of the three families, in reality, only Divine Son suffered losses.

If it hadn't been for Divine Son's Poison Blast Six-Winged Bee Arrow, the god-blood creature would have escaped long ago, and Brother Grant and Emily Bennett would have gotten nothing.

Now, however, they could share the god-blood creature's flesh as agreed, which was an unexpected bonus.

But Divine Son lost a mutant mount beast soul and wasted a god-blood-level Poison Blast Six-Winged Bee Arrow, only to have the god-blood beast soul that should have been his picked up by someone else, along with the god-blood treasure. Anyone would be furious enough to cough up blood.
