Under the massive shadow, Yarlin could see the 'Creep' carpet tearing open from the middle, revealing a strange hidden form underneath. It was as though some buried organs were revealing their true appearance.
It was something similar to a biochemical pool. The inner walls of the pool were filled with countless black holes, and a black ink-like liquid was gushing out, filling up the empty pool.
Devour: Devour all flesh and blood, turning them into nutrients for growth.
A line of information appeared in Yarlin's mind. Yarlin immediately understood that all the flesh and blood that had been devoured were in fact decomposed and poured into this pool, becoming nutrients for the Broodmother to evolve to the next stage.
Whether it was devouring through his main body one by one, or directly devouring through the biochemical pool on a large scale, the final result would be this place turning into the black ink.
"Why, why are these nutrients appearing now, where did they come from?" Yarlin asked doubtfully.
Almost simultaneously, some scenes with a black background appeared in his mind. He saw some black tentacles poking out from the ground, like venomous snakes following the scent of blood, strangely wrapping around the corpses buried in the soil.
"It's the corpses of the marines that were killed and buried near the apartment building." Yarlin immediately understood the identity of the corpses.
It wasn't just the corpses of the marines that were buried, there were also the corpses of stray dogs and cats. Even some insects that were struggling to survive in the soil were bitten by the black 'venomous snakes', dragging them deep into the ground, before landing on the creeping 'Creep' carpet. Like being corroded by sulfuric acid, they rapidly decomposed into black juice.
The scene was interrupted. Yarlin's pupils shrank slightly, as he stared intently at the information that appeared in his mind. Only then did he notice that the description of 'Devour' had changed to 'all flesh and blood'.
It was no longer limited to the living, or even limited to humans ….. The upgraded version of 'Devour' was actually this terrifying!
Yarlin's heart shook. Sure enough, the complete Broodmother's ability was incomparable to the incomplete version. This kind of Broodmother that wasn't picky about food was a good Broodmother.
Beside the biochemical pool was a human body that seemed to be molded from resin. Its entire body was pitch black, and its facial features were extremely similar to Yarlin's. A transparent tentacle was inserted into its heart.
"Could this projection be referring to me?"
Yarlin mumbled to himself, and a line of words appeared in his mind. [Absorb: Can absorb the flesh and blood essence of life forms of the same type or a specific vitality magnetic field to strengthen one's body. Can also analyze the muscle memory of life forms of the same type as oneself, as well as part of the biological information to be loaded onto oneself.] (The absorption effect depends on the degree of compatibility and freshness of the same species.)
Compared to the annotation of devouring, the amount of information in this paragraph was slightly more complicated. Yarlin immediately caught the five words, "same kind", "life magnetic field", "muscle memory", "biological information", "compatibility", and "freshness". He had a thoughtful look on his face, but when he looked at the last word, his face twitched slightly. "Freshness, heh, what a euphemism."
Occasionally, there would be a little liquid flowing in the transparent tube, but it was very little. Yarlin opened his attributes panel.
Spiritual Strength 1
Nerve conduction rate 1
Bone hardness 1
Muscle activity 4.4
Blood density flow rate 1
Complete Body — Seed Breaking Stage (Progress Bar: 410000)
Absorption Distribution Points (0.1)
Sure enough, he saw that the distribution points in the bottom line changed from zero to 0.1, and like the progress bar, there was a faintly flashing upward arrow behind it. Although the increase was very slow, it was indeed flashing.
The rate of increase of the progress bar was far faster than the distribution points. Yarlin speculated that it should be derived from the former's diet of devouring more than the diet of absorption. After all, one was all flesh and blood, and the other belonged to the same type. There should be some kind of distribution mechanism in this, and it should be impossible to distribute evenly.
After asking Astu, the answer was that the broodmother would distribute according to the best choice. Of course, this ratio could be adjusted according to Yarlin's will. Yarlin felt that it was fine for the time being, and there was no need to adjust it.
His sight continued to shift. On the opposite side of the biochemical pool was a closed organization. The shape looked a bit like a biological chamber, or a closed coffin.
"Transformation Chamber!"
"Transformation: Transform the dead flesh and blood into your own slaves, and strengthen the basic qualities of the slaves themselves. (Basic qualities refer to the three attributes, strength, agility, and physique.) The slaves have simple thinking ability. "
Yarlin narrowed his eyes and stared at the transformation chamber. Immediately, a series of strange and bloody information surged in his mind. His face was faintly pale, and his pupils shrank in horror.
Key words: dead flesh and blood!
There was no extra son-in-law, which meant a great degree of freedom in the operation. This degree of freedom did not only refer to the flesh and blood of a single individual, but also the flesh and blood of multiple individuals. In other words, a dead person could be transformed into a slave, and similarly, two or three dead people could be transformed into a slave.
There was no limit to the amount of flesh and blood that could be added. As for the extra flesh, it could have been strengthened by extraction, or it could have been fused together. To put it simply, if you put two dead people in, what came out could be two humanoid creatures, or an even stronger humanoid creature, or it could even be a deformed monster that had been pieced together.
All of this was in accordance with the broodmother's allocation. It operated according to some rules that Yarlin did not understand, but anyway, the priority of this rule was combat power and survivability. The pursuit of beauty was at the end of the sequence.
Oh, right, by the way … flesh and blood were not limited to humans, but could be used by all living creatures.
All sorts of strange, deformed, and grotesque creatures flashed through his mind, as well as some messy and incomplete formulas … like the biological legacies left behind by the broodmother's previous evolution. If left to a mad scientist, these things would probably become an amazing treasure trove. However, in Yarlin's eyes, they were temporarily worthless.
Because those biological materials might not exist in this world, or perhaps he did not know what to use to replace them, even though some of them were terrifying creatures that could be said to possess terrifying combat power.
Yarlin's heart was slightly regretful, but who knew what the future would hold? Perhaps the next phase of the broodmother's unlocking would be even more whimsical, or perhaps one day he would meet a mad scientist in this world?
Yarlin exhaled deeply, and shifted his gaze to the last two spots. One was a shadow of a black fog, and the other was a withered sapling that was only a metre tall, with a strange fruit hanging from it ….
