The second step that Chief Haru needs to prepare is food. According to the gods, Haru will not undergo any special changes at first after being activated. He will mainly become very hungry and need to eat constantly.
This is not hard to understand, since everything must obey the law of conservation of energy. Haru's body is growing rapidly, so it naturally needs a lot of energy to supply it.
The Haru army doesn't have much food left, but it's still enough to feed ten Haru.
If all else fails, wild vegetables or even weeds will do. After their bodies undergo changes, their organs will also be strengthened.
Aside from stones that it cannot digest, it can absorb energy from even poisonous plants without being poisoned.
Even common toxins can no longer stop the rapid division of cells, except for a few particularly intractable toxins that can directly destroy the DNA helix and prevent it from dividing.
At first, Haru didn't feel anything, but then the feeling of powerlessness that came over him came after the effects of the mushroom wore off.
But Haru soon felt hungry, and once he started feeling hungry, it was like a wildfire that couldn't be stopped.
This feeling is somewhat similar to when Tang Yi and his team were running desperately in a high-oxygen environment, and after their bodies were severely overdrawn, they desperately needed energy and were on the verge of starvation.
The ten Haru began to eat voraciously, and soon most of the food was consumed by them.
Haru ate until their stomachs were completely full before stopping.
At this moment, an earth-shattering change is taking place inside Haru's body, which is invisible to the naked eye. The food that has entered his body is being digested at an extremely fast rate, and then transformed into nutrients that are transported to all parts of his body.
Now the stomach has become the busiest place, and the nutrients that were originally needed every day can be delivered to every organ and muscle of the body in an orderly and timely manner.
But today everything has changed. All the cells in the body are sending signals to the stomach, requiring a large amount of energy to support the cell division process.
Even the stomach itself needs a lot of energy to rapidly expand its food storage area in order to meet the body's constant energy demands.
These soft tissues are relatively easy to divide, but the most difficult are hard tissues like bones. They need to divide and proliferate rapidly while also enduring the pressure exerted on the bones by the body.
The first thing Haru felt was a sharp, pulling pain in his bones. It wasn't a very intense pain, but rather a dull ache, like the kind of pain that gnaws at your bones.
At this moment, Haru could feel his body undergoing incredible changes rapidly, and he felt himself growing larger.
At first, Haru was quite happy to feel that his body had grown bigger, because a larger body meant that his strength would also increase exponentially.
The leader is indeed capable, able to have such divine powers bestowed upon him by the gods; this is naturally something to be happy about.
However, Haru quickly realized something was wrong. He had just eaten until he was stuffed. In such a short time, almost half of the food in his stomach had been digested, and even the feeling of fullness had disappeared.
Haru was shocked; he had never digested a meal this quickly before. It seemed he wouldn't last long before he was hungry again.
This is without me doing anything, just sitting quietly. If I were to exercise, the energy expenditure would probably be even faster.
Haru was unaware that there would be two periods of rapid growth that day, one every twelve hours, with each period lasting about an hour.
The rest of the time needs to be left for the body to adapt to the newly grown tissues. After all, animals are different from plants; if they do not have an adaptation process, they are very likely to have big problems.
Such weapons of war are not what the gods want to see. If they just keep growing, they will never be able to be used properly.
Even with only two hours of growth time each day, this was already a terrifying thing for Haru.
Not to mention that this is only the rapid growth period; outside of these two hours, it grows slowly at a normal rate.
An hour later, Haru's body finally stopped growing, and by then, the food inside Haru's body had been almost completely consumed.
In just one hour, Haru's body had grown another 20 centimeters taller and had become larger than before.
After eating his fill again, Haru felt less hungry, but his body was growing too fast, and he felt a little overwhelmed, as if his body didn't belong to him.
Perhaps because Haru's body was modified again, even the side effects of the mushroom were much shorter for the current ten Haru.
The mushroom's side effects only lasted half the previous time before disappearing. The ten Haru returned to normal.
Haru, somewhat impatient, quickly got up to test his current body. He threw a punch into the air, easily creating a sonic boom.
The enhancement effect is truly remarkable. If they were to face that giant hyena again, the ten Haru members would be confident they could take it down.
Leader Haru was quite satisfied with the modified Haru warriors, which gave him ten more powerful trump cards.
Once these ten Haru grow another full cycle, they will be able to put up a fight against even the Asaida tribe's dragon riders.
…………
At this moment, Tang Yi and his group, along with several experts from the Asada tribe, had arrived at the foot of this solitary peak under Pat's guidance.
"Master, this is a bit troublesome. Look how steep the places Haru chose are; it will probably be very difficult for us to attack."
Su Su looked at the steep, sheer cliffs with worry; this was not good news for the attacking side.
"Sir, should we touch him to check his condition before making a decision?"
At this moment, Dante also made a suggestion.
“We definitely have to go up. But there are too many of us here, and it will be difficult to hide ourselves if we go together. It won’t be long before Haru finds us.”
Therefore, I suggest that everyone stay put and wait for me to get a general understanding of the situation so that we can formulate a response plan.
After Dante's translation, the Asaida tribe members understood what I was saying.
Even someone like me, whom even the King of Hell would spit on, still fully agreed with my decision.
Haru is already on edge, and there are quite a few of us here, so there's a chance Haru might discover us if we're not careful.
It would be better to stay here and meet up with your people.
