Chapter 65 65. Good Child
After Xu Zhi realized that her current means of attack seemed difficult to kill the man, her first reaction was: run.
It was at the moment when she decisively turned around and ran towards the stairwell door that the alien jumped out of her pocket and crawled quickly towards the man in Xu Zhi's surprised gaze.
Xu Zhi didn't even have time to ask it what it wanted to do before he saw the alien pounce straight at the man's chest, then drill into his heart like a parasite. Several tentacles grew from its dead wood-like body and pierced the man's boiling heart, beginning to devour his blood and energy.
Under the effect of the [Eye of Prying Eyes], Xu Zhi clearly saw that the [Cup] attribute energy and blood that flowed into the man's body through the ritual were being continuously devoured by the small alien species. It was like a parasitic monster that grew by devouring the host's flesh and blood. The man also noticed this and reached out and inserted his hand directly into his heart to try to pull out the greedy alien species.
The alien that was devouring flesh and energy seemed to be using all its strength to eat, and could only rely on its tentacles to cling to its heart to resist the man's pull, but even so, it was being slowly pulled out of the heart.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi immediately ordered Xiao Zhen, "Break its hand!"
She didn't know why the little alien was crazy, but she naturally had to help it now.
Xu Zhi did not rush over, but only ordered Xiaozhen to assist from the side. She stood at the stairs, intending to run away if anything went wrong.
But when she took out the game console, she found that the evolution points of the alien species were actually increasing.
It was as if I had taken some kind of tonic. In a short while, I had already risen from level 18 to level 20, and it wasn't stopping yet.
Xu Zhi was paying attention to the battle situation in front of him while watching the prompts that kept popping up on the game screen.
[Attention, your clan's restlessness level has increased, please make sure it is around you! ]
[Congratulations, your fourth family member has reached level 20, unlocking the fifth family member slot. You can go to the family member selection interface to draw your fifth family member.]
[Since you have trained four followers to level 20 and entered the transformation stage, the initial life levels of the followers you can choose have increased.]
[Your clan's alien species has entered a transformation phase, and all aspects of the clan will enter a period of rapid growth. When the evolution level reaches the maximum level 10, the clan will complete the transformation, break through the upper limit, and become a higher-level life form.]
[The clan entering the transformation period has an increased demand for extraordinary energy. Please provide it with more cores with suitable attributes.]
[Attention! Your family's evolutionary path has changed! Please feed it the food it needs in time and don't let it leave your side! Keep it sane!]
Several huge exclamation marks reminded Xu Zhi of the importance of the matter.
Xu Zhi didn't even have time to look at the upgraded properties of the alien species. He could only stare at it, and then he saw a magical scene.
The moment the game prompted that the clan had broken through level 20, as if a seed had taken root and sprouted, several thin black dead branches "broke out of the ground" from the man's chest. As they continued to absorb "nutrients", the thin branches slowly grew, as if a cluster of not very lush bushes had grown on the man's chest.
The man's face became paler and paler, and he even fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Xu Zhi didn't know what the ceremony he had prepared was for, but it was obvious that it was all for the benefit of others.
Under the effect of [Prying Eyes], Xu Zhi could clearly see that the red blood lines extending from the ritual formation began to break one by one. Perhaps the energy was exhausted, or perhaps the ritual was not perfect. After all, if she remembered correctly, there were not enough people to start the ritual, and the woman had also reminded the man that the ritual might fail.
But in any case, the incident seems to have come to an end.
After the blood line connecting the man's body to the ritual was completely severed, the red light rising into the sky suddenly disappeared, and the twisted and sticky spiritual pollution that had been in the air also dissipated. All that remained was the man's pale body lying on the ground, and a flower made of black dead branches blooming on his chest.
Xu Zhi clicked on the attribute diagram of the alien species:
[Family: Alien Lv21
Spirit: 35
Flesh: 4800
Attribute: Cup
Traits: Bloodlust Lv8, Stealth Lv6, Agility Lv6, Strength Lv6, Pain Lv8, Restlessness Lv5, Evolution Lv3
Special Ability: Parasitic Seed]
What caught the eye was the level 5 agitation, level 3 evolution, and the additional special abilities.
[Congratulations, your clan has awakened a special ability: Parasitic Seed]
[Parasitic Seed: The followers can produce fruits that turn into parasitic seeds and burrow into living organisms to lurk. Once activated, they will absorb the flesh and blood and extraordinary energy of the organisms to nourish the seed growth. After absorbing all the energy of the host, each seed can turn into a different species with equivalent abilities, driven by the parasitic master.
The higher the extraordinary level of the clan, the more fruits can be produced, and the more difficult it is to detect the evolved parasitic seeds. 】
Is this ability worthy of a clan with the [Cup] attribute?
It seemed that a crisis was easily resolved, but Xu Zhi did not relax her vigilance. She looked up at the man's body, and the black flower made of the alien body on her chest suddenly moved, and then attacked Xiao Zhen who was in the air not far away from it!
Xu Zhi's pupils shrank, and she knew that this matter was not over. [Agitation] reached level five, and this alien seemed to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
Xiao Zhen took off into the air before the alien could hit her, making the sudden sneak attack fail. At this moment, Xu Zhi's mind was torn between conscience and desire. On the one hand, she felt that she should leave here immediately because the alien had obviously lost its mind. On the other hand, she remembered the reminder in the game telling the alien not to leave her side.
If she left now, there was no doubt that this alien species might lose contact forever.
Xu Zhi didn't want to lose such a powerful clan member just like that.
But she couldn't be 100% sure that the alien, who was currently in a state of agitation and had lost his mind, would not hurt her.
"Let's give it a try."
The girl made up her mind not to believe the alien, but to believe the narration of the game.
She waved her hand to let Xiaozhen fly to her, then took two tentative steps towards the alien that had just crawled out of the man's chest.
The other party immediately noticed her actions, and several sharp spikes stretched out towards Xu Zhi, accompanied by a hoarse and unpleasant scream. The threat was quite obvious, as if it would attack if Xu Zhi took a few more steps towards it.
Because the level of [Agitation] was too high, Xu Zhi had no way of telling what the little alien was thinking. Its thoughts were in chaos and completely irrational.
Even though he was threatened, Xu Zhi still bravely took a few more steps towards it.
The reason was very simple. When the other party attacked Xiaozhen, it was a ruthless sneak attack, but when facing her, he just threatened her not to get close. This inexplicable double standard attitude made Xu Zhi bolder.
Sure enough, as she got closer, the opponent's screams and ferocious tentacles kept warning it not to get close, but it never really attacked Xu Zhi.
Even when Xu Zhi was about to walk in front of it, he took a few steps back.
"Don't move!" Xu Zhi shouted, and the alien species that was showing its fangs and claws as if it was very powerful but was quietly retreating suddenly froze. Xu Zhi could feel that it did not understand what she said, and its thoughts were still in chaos. This alien species simply responded almost instinctively to her voice and scolding.
"Good boy." Xu Zhi thought about the [Agitation Lv 5] on the panel, and looked at the motionless alien in front of him. He smiled and praised, then took out a Tang sword and cut his palm, and blood flowed out of the wound.
"This is a reward, drink it."
