It was a fierce battle. Trees fell in swathes, and the ground was riddled with craters, as if bombarded by artillery. Looking at the cracked bluestone, one could see the imprint of a fist, about an inch long, in the center of the cracks.

A martial artist unleashing their full power is truly terrifying. Although Dao Chengyi had seen the power of a second-level martial artist in the memories of the toad-man he had swallowed before, he was still amazed by the greatness of biological evolution from the perspective of the Blood Roc.

In his previous life, the theoretical maximum kicking force of a person could reach one ton, and the proven limit of a punch was 800 jin. But here, the limits of human beings were easily surpassed by martial artists.

Absorbing the genes of other creatures and transforming them into the strength of his own body, the Toad Man's enormous lung capacity allows him to easily dive for twenty minutes, and his explosive jumping power allows him to leap twenty meters in one bound.

As for the strength of the bull hunter, it was predictable, because the dog's flesh and the bull hunter's essence came from the same source: highly resilient skin, accelerated body energy burning speed provided abundant energy and power bursts, and the shrunken flesh and blood density was dense enough to withstand greater resistance and punches.

The downside is that it's not very fast, and its movements lack fluidity and are prone to making mistakes. Dogs, even with parasites for lubrication, have this weakness, and so does bull hunting.

However, this is not a big problem in fights with black bears and wolves. The high internal temperature is not suitable for insect parasites, the shrunken flesh is resistant to the tearing of teeth, and the powerful and heavy attacks are enough to tear the animal's body apart.

In other words, these wolves and black bears were specially selected by Dao Chengyi as the finest specimens from the mountains. They were inherently more durable and resilient than their kind; otherwise, Niu Shou might have escaped in the end.

"Your death should be enough to attract those big shots to come into the mountains to investigate. Then I'll see how those people raise animals into flesh demons."

The wolf pack had been completely crushed. Only when the last wolf plunged its teeth into the bull's eye did it manage to fight back in its desperate struggle. The final kill was not achieved by the black bear or the wolf.

"Buzzing"

Swarms of buzzing, blood-red insects swarmed around the forest, their restlessness palpable as they gazed at the blood-soaked battlefield. Yet, under the suppression of Dao Chengyi's will, they remained stationary.

Insignificance is a kind of power. Before having sufficient swarm-killing power, at least before a martial artist has developed internal energy, any martial artist facing thousands of insects and bees must consider whether their life is worthwhile.

A few needle pricks, accompanied by botulinum toxin, can corrode even a tree, making it even more unbearable for the human body.

Dispersing the insects and bees, Dao Chengyi activated the puppet gu and fungal gu inside the black bear's body. The parasitic gu was not worth using on these wild beasts.

Let it clean up the battlefield, while the blood is constantly being sucked by several blood leeches. These are first-stage blood refining gu used to extract blood. Dao Chengyi is preparing to see if this blood can be useful to the dog.

The remaining mummified corpse was devoured by the black bear, which ate it from bone to fur, leaving nothing behind, even though the bear was unwilling. Dao Chengyi forced it to eat.

Black Bear did not practice Gu cultivation because he needed to observe and experiment on the ability of animals to absorb genes. In particular, he discovered that apart from parasitic Gu, other Gu worms that were eaten or parasitized in the human body would undergo a kind of absorption and assimilation.

This process is not their conscious effort, but it is the effect of the peculiar power within their flesh and genes, a phenomenon that is even more pronounced in martial artists.

Because the Gu poison planted on the martial arts school's senior brother was gradually deteriorating each day, Dao Chengyi, fearing that it would harm himself and benefit others, had no choice but to withdraw the parasitic treatment.

Fortunately, this effect is minimal on ordinary people who haven't reached the level of martial artists; as long as the Gu worms are updated regularly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But Dao Chengyi was naturally unwilling to accept that he could not use demonic means to control people, so the cultivation of a demonic creature like the black bear came into his sights.

Seeking newer and more resistant Gu worms, searching for more resistant Gu worms, and determining whether this assimilation would change the way Dao Cheng manipulates a pair of Gu worms.

The scientific thinking that remained from his previous life also led Dao Chengyi to conduct multiple comparative experiments. He conducted experiments on half-bird, A-Yi, his diligently studying little green vine, and even the dog.

After he implants the flesh, the scope of this experiment will continue to expand. The fertility worm is one such worm used to expand the experimental area. Furthermore, he has added his own genes into the fertility worm. According to the special characteristics of the Xuanpin people, these genes will be absorbed by them, and then…

Many children bring many blessings! If the future society becomes more prosperous and the blessings of many children are carried forward, what's wrong with him sacrificing a little to achieve enlightenment? Besides, he doesn't need much. In the future, when he needs to die in place of others, be reborn, or face difficulties in achieving enlightenment, he can borrow from his descendants!

After eating the cow, the black bear's body became noticeably hot. Its brain, infected by the fungus, had only one thought at that moment: to go back to sleep.

Dao Chengyi sent it back to the cave, and along the way, it sensed the condition of the Gu worms to see if anything would change when the black bear evolved into a demon.

The remaining hunter carcasses were left to waste, so the Blood Bees were tasked with cleaning them up. This left a loose end for the Liao family, allowing them to use the Blood Bees to see how the Liao family, famous for their insects, cultivated them.

The rest of the matter was left to the hunters who had escaped to spread the word. Speaking of which, that organization was really patient. In such a big day, they just stayed put like turtles hiding in the sand.

Especially Comrade Min Hao, who only gave a gift of a fungal infection insect, and after half a month, he still hasn't seen anything. He's been obediently going back and forth between home and the martial arts gym every day, and after half a month of surveillance, he's done nothing.

But even if the monk can run away, the temple can't. Dao Chengyi didn't believe that he could endure the loneliness and wouldn't contact the organization with the lotus token.
