The dark alley was not where the Cursed Swordfiend was. Instead, it was where a parasite called the Shadow Worm was hiding.
The Shadow Worm was a type of parasite, and it was a rather unique one. Aside from entering the host's body, it could also enter the shadow of other creatures to complete its parasitism.
The reason why they came to this area was that Bloody had mentioned to Lin Huang before. The parasitism was one of the few single-target parasitism techniques that he wanted the most. Firstly, it was because the parasitism technique was unique, and secondly, it could parasitize other creatures.
Before coming to this area, Lin Huang had locked onto the coordinates of this area.
The Viridian Wolf stopped at the entrance of the alley. Lin Huang could vaguely hear the rustling of the Shadow Worm. It was the sound of the Shadow Worm crawling in the shadows.
"Come out, Bloody!" Lin Huang waved his hand and summoned Bloody. He then turned around and said to it, "If you want the Shadow Worm's parasitism technique, the nest of the Shadow Worm is right in front."
Bloody nodded excitedly and transformed into a bloody glow, disappearing into the alley.
After a while, the alley became crowded, and the sound of the insects could be heard. Some of the Shadow Worms even dashed towards Lin Huang and the rest, but they were easily killed by Lancelot.
It was the first time that Lin Huang and Lin Xin saw the Shadow Worm.
It was a small black worm the size of a human's pinky. It looked like a spider and it could crawl very fast. Fortunately, it could not fly. Otherwise, Lin Huang would not be standing at the entrance of the alley.
"Congratulations, your epic-level Monster Card, Bloody, has obtained a new skill - Shadow Parasite (Supreme)."
As soon as Xiao Hei's notification was heard, a red glow shot towards him. Bloody's voice was heard in Lin Huang's head, "You've obtained the skill. Let's go."
"Let's go!" Lin Huang patted the Viridian Wolf and it immediately turned around and ran.
Just as it turned around, the Shadow Bugs in the alley behind it surged towards it like a tide.
"We really messed with the worm's nest. Luckily, these monsters can't fly." Lin Huang turned around and urged the Viridian Wolf to run even faster.
As for the other monsters that were affected by the Shadow Bugs, he couldn't care less.
The Shadow Bug's speed was not fast, and it was soon left behind by the sprinting Viridian Wolf. After all, there was a huge difference in size. The distance that the Viridian Wolf took with one step was enough for the Shadow Bug to take a few hundred steps. They couldn't fly, so they naturally couldn't catch up. As a result, the other monsters nearby were caught in the crossfire. Many of the monsters found the sudden rampage of the Shadow Bugs baffling.
Lin Huang seized the opportunity to look at Bloody's details. He wanted to know what the effect of the skill that Bloody had obtained was.
"Monster Card"
[Rarity: Epic]
"Monster Name: Bloody (Demonic Dandelion Vine)
[Monster Type: Parasite]
【Combat Strength: Gold 3-star (Maximum)】
[Skill 1: Parasite Pods]
Skill 2: Absolute Control
Skill 3: Supreme Intelligence]
Skill 4: Ultimate Engulfment]
"Skill 5: Shadow Parasite (Supreme)"
"Summon Authority: Activated"
"Remarks: This monster's skill has yet to be fully developed. You can obtain a new skill."
"Card Remarks: Trainable"
…
"Shadow Parasite (Supreme): Using the shadow as a medium, it can parasitize all living things that are two levels higher."
"Remark 1: You don't have to physically enter the shadow of the host. As long as you capture the host's shadow with your own shadow, the parasitism will be completed."
"Remark 2: The parasitic shadow can change into any form and move as you wish. The total area covered by the shadow cannot be more than 100 times larger than the reflection area of the host's body and cannot be smaller than the reflection area of the host's body."
"Remark 3: It can parasitize up to 10 targets at the same time."
"Remark 4: The host's combat strength can only be two levels higher than the host's."
"Remark 5: It can only parasitize the host's body but not its shadow."
…
"That's amazing, my Bloody!" Lin Huang exclaimed to himself after reading the description of the new skill.
Although Bloody's Leech Pods could parasitize a large number of monsters, the combat strength of the parasites could only be on par with Bloody's combat strength. It was impossible to parasitize monsters of a higher level. That was the limitation of all monsters that used Leech Pods.
However, Bloody had obtained its second parasitic skill. The Shadow Parasite was supposed to be a single parasite, but Bloody had no idea why it could parasitize ten monsters at the same time. Not only that, the combat strength was not one level higher than the host's, but two levels higher.
Lin Huang had never heard of any parasitic monster that could parasitize monsters of a higher level and parasitize monsters in groups at the same time. Perhaps Bloody was the first one.
If Bloody was a wild monster that was not controlled by humans, the damage it could cause would be terrifying even if it had not leveled up to holy fire-level. With the two parasitic skills, it could destroy the entire C-grade foothold on its own.
"Have you thought about the last skill? You must have one that can save your life. Are you going to choose from regeneration, defense, or speed? "Lin Huang could not help but ask as he saw that there was still one skill slot left.
"I've decided. I'm going to choose the Immortal Tinder." Bloody seemed to have a plan.
"Immortal Tinder? Isn't that the Undead Evil Child's skill? It's an undead monster. Can you extract the skill? " There was something that Lin Huang did not mention. The Undead Evil Child was one of the few monsters that could not be killed in this world.
This was because the monster could plant its tinder in other creatures. As soon as it died, one of the tinder would be activated and its consciousness would be transferred to the tinder that was activated. The tinder would then transform the host into a new Undead Evil Child.
Although the Undead Evil Child could only have nine tinder at the same time, it would be impossible to kill it if the nine tinder were planted far away from each other. Before the tinder was activated, there was no way to identify which monster was planted with a tinder.
"I don't need to kill it. All I need to do is to parasitize one of them and read its memory. Then, I'll try to imitate its ability. I think my Leech Pods are similar to its tinder. I'd like to try to integrate this ability with my Leech Pods. If it's successful, I'll have hundreds of thousands of lives. As my combat strength increases, I'll have even more lives. Even if the integration fails, at least I can come up with a similar skill to save my life. " It was obvious that Bloody was ambitious in choosing this skill. If it managed to integrate the skill successfully, it would become an immortal being.
Even Lin Huang was shocked when he heard about the plan.
At this moment, a few birds suddenly swooped down.
Soon, they were killed by Lancelot who was standing on the back of the Viridian Wolf.
"What's going on? Why are there so many monsters?" Lin Huang just noticed that there were many monsters chasing after the Viridian Wolf.
"These monsters must be parasitized by the Shadow Worms …" After a moment of silence, Bloody's voice was heard.
"Didn't I just kill one of their companions? Why is there no end to it? " The Viridian Wolf had escaped tens of kilometers away, but the monsters that the Shadow Worms controlled were still chasing after them. Lin Huang thought it was strange.
"Perhaps it's because I killed their king …" Bloody's answer made Lin Huang speechless.
No wonder the worms were behaving like their father had died … It was because their father had really died!
"The reason why they can chase after us is probably because I have the king's aura on me. Master, if you recall me back into card form, you should be able to get rid of them. "Bloody, who was hiding in Lin Huang's sleeve, suggested.
"Alright then …" Lin Huang then recalled Bloody from his sleeve into its card form.
As expected, after Lancelot killed all the monsters that were chasing after them, there were no more monsters chasing after them.
