Chapter 24 Ignoring Defense
The sounds of flesh tearing and chewing continued to echo in the palace.
As the biological energy was transformed, warm currents spread throughout the giant ape's body, and its already huge body suddenly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But soon the black-armored giant ape discovered that to grow by the same ten centimeters, the biological energy required now was several times more than before.
The evolved body has a higher mass, and the demand for cell division and flesh growth has increased by about four times. While the flesh, blood and bones are growing, the scales on the body are also evolving and becoming thicker.
A lot of energy is consumed here too.
There is also the light golden energy flowing in the blood in the body. With sufficient biological energy, it is also absorbing qi and blood for transformation and accumulating itself, which also consumes some energy.
Taking all these into consideration, the growth cost of the giant ape after the fourth stage is about six times that of the third stage.
Especially the light golden energy that appeared after evolution. It was powerful, but it was similar to 'spiritual power' and it would disappear after a little use.
According to the consumption in previous battles and tests, the golden energy would be exhausted after ten punches with full strength.
It's OK. After evolution, the energy requirement did not increase tenfold, but only sixfold. The black-armored giant ape grabbed the corpse of the beast, bit off a large piece of flesh and blood, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
The smallest of the five ferocious beasts was ten meters long. Even though the evolved giant ape had better teeth and its eating speed increased a lot, it still took half a day to finish eating all of them.
Sufficient energy allowed the giant ape to grow from twelve meters to thirteen meters in size, becoming even larger, and even the black scales on its body appeared thicker.
It was only then that the giant ape had time to call up the attribute page to view the detailed changes of this evolution.
Name: Jiang Hou
Level: Second stage mid
Strength: 151 → 213
Agility: 72 → 102
Defense: 39 → 175
Seal of inheritance
Behemoth Form
Bloodline: Black-armored Giant Ape [epic beast, one evolution, current size 13.1 meters]
Bloodline Awakening: Hegemony [Qi and blood transform emptiness into reality, containing the meaning of shattering. When attached to the fist, it has the ultimate destructive power to shatter energy defenses]
Talent: Rage and Fury [Rage ignites the blood, stimulating the power hidden in the blood, increasing strength by three times, without affecting sanity]
Violent Ape Divine Armor [Consume blood power to integrate into the whole body scales, which can greatly improve defense and become indestructible for a short period of time, like a divine armor]
Supernatural Element: Thorns [2 units, a substance extracted from the flesh and blood of supernatural creatures. This element is incorporated into the evolution, and there is a certain chance of obtaining thorn talents]
Unique Talent: Devouring Evolution
Evolution Points: 49/2000
This evolution, coupled with the growth gained from devouring those thorny wolf beasts, allowed the basic strength to break through two hundred, and the defense suddenly increased by more than one hundred.
However, this basic value was a little less than the Black-armored Giant Ape had expected. It had originally thought that the strength in human form could be increased by 70 or 80 points.
But the fourth level is indeed a watershed.
The black-armored giant ape, after its bloodline transformation and evolution, is extremely powerful. It feels like every move he makes has the domineering power to sweep away everything.
In addition, he has awakened the blood power that ignores energy defense. During battle, he can kill with one strike at the critical moment.
Also, the talent that originally filled the brain with anger also changed to rage and violence. The strength was still increased by three times, but the word "current" was gone, indicating that it had become a fixed value.
And it no longer affects your sanity, which is very important.
Coupled with the newly awakened defensive talent, the black giant ape becomes even more powerful in close combat, and can ignore enemy attacks for a short period of time and engage in head-on combat.
As for the extraordinary elemental thorn, it obviously came from the wolf king beast.
However, compared with the black centipede beast that provided eight extraordinary units, this unicorn beast was obviously much inferior and its strength was also much weaker.
Rubbish. The black-armored giant ape sneered in his heart again, and then left the palace contentedly, dissolving the giant beast form and returning.
…………
Qin Siyu didn't knock on the door today. Jiang Hou came back at almost six o'clock and woke up dazedly when the sun blinded his eyes.
"...What time is it?" Jiang Hou stretched out his hand to block the sunlight, feeling a little blinding, and then immediately reacted, "Oh no, it's already so late."
Jiang Hou quickly turned over and jumped up, changing his clothes in two seconds.
But when Jiang Hou opened the door, he saw Qin Siyu squatting in front of a cardboard box in the living room, whispering, "Little darling, come out quickly."
"Be good, come out..."
At the same time, standing next to Qin Siyu was a middle-aged man with a height of 1.8 meters and a square face and gray hair on his temples.
When he saw Marquis Jiang coming out, the middle-aged man smiled brightly and said, "The young Marquis is up."
"...Uncle, you're back."
Jiang Hou was stunned at first, then he realized why Qin Siyu didn't knock on the door, because today was Saturday.
Jiang Hou walked over and asked curiously, "Uncle, what is Siyu doing?"
"She was calling the kitten inside to come out, but unfortunately the little guy was shy and ignored her after she called for a long time."
Jiang Hou scratched the few strands of hair on his head and asked in confusion, "Uncle, why did you buy a cat?"
He and Qin Siyu have to go to school on weekdays, and now he is busy with other things at night, so he has no time to take care of small animals such as kittens and puppies.
“I didn’t buy it.”
Qin Buyi explained: "A few nights ago, the forest behind the mine was in turmoil, and many pheasants, rabbits, and some wild boars rushed out of the forest."
"We initially thought there was an earthquake and immediately evacuated everyone in the mine, but in the end nothing happened."
"When it was light the next morning, I took two people to the back mountain to check. Then guess what we saw?"
Jiang Hou was very cooperative and asked curiously, "Uncle, what did you see?"
"We saw corpses all over the ground." Qin Buyi's tone was solemn.
"Wild boars, king cobras, yellow foxes, white foxes, goats, minks, lynxes, especially those that are twice as big as their peers."
"For some unknown reason, these animals were killing each other. Some of them had their legs bitten off while still clutching their opponent's throats before dying. It was very tragic."
“This scene scared us all at the time.”
Qin Buyi continued, "Later, when we were moving and inspecting the animal carcasses, we found a hole under the fox, and there was a kitten hiding inside."
"That kitten is very cute. I thought you might like it, so I brought it back to the dormitory and kept it for two days."
"It's just that this little guy is shy and no one can hold him. He will only come out of the box to eat and drink when he is very hungry."
Qin Buyi said with a smile: "Now I'll bring it back, and the rest will be left to you."
"...We have no experience in this." Lord Jiang had a headache.
At this time, Qin Siyu, who was squatting, looked up and said suspiciously: "Dad, are you sure there is a cat in there? Why didn't it come out after I called for a long time?"
"Didn't I tell you that it's timid? Why don't we let Xiao Hou give it a try?"
"Okay, Lord Jiang, you can give it a try."
"...Me? Okay." Seeing that Qin Siyu had stood up and moved aside, Jiang Hou could only nod, took two steps forward and squatted in front of the cardboard box.
The cardboard box was half a meter in size and had a hole on the side.
However, unlike the gentle voice of Qin Siyu, the voice of Jiang Hou imitating a cat's meow was heavier, and carried a faint low-frequency hum that ordinary people could not hear.
"Swish, swish!" Jiang Hou just called out, and the cardboard box shook slightly, and then a white head poked out carefully from the hole.
The head looks like a ragdoll, but the cheeks are narrower and thinner, the hair is snow-white and clean, the edges of the ears are red, and there is a tuft of long red hair at the tip of the ears.
A pair of red eyes are like gems, big and round, and the red hair that flutters slightly at the tips of the ears makes her look like an immortal.
Very beautiful indeed.
