Zhang Mu let Yuan Rui experience the newly awakened abilities on her own. Now Yuan Rui has truly become a dual-ability evolver, although not the most standard dual-system evolver, because it is generally recognized by later generations that spiritual attributes can be acquired later.
However, even so, because of its scarcity, Yuan Rui still made a fortune.
A person with twin abilities does not have his abilities equally divided. His two different abilities are independent and inclusive. All people with twin ability evolution are heading towards the direction of integrating abilities and innovating new abilities.
Yuan Rui's newly awakened abilities of Life Activation and Soul Flame are both very rare among the powerful evolvers that Zhang Mu had heard of in later generations. Moreover, Yuan Rui's mental attack ability is different from what Zhang Mu had encountered before. Zhang Mu had only heard a little bit about it in rumors, and it seemed that those powerful people were very envious.
He didn't think too much about it. He could help Yuan Rui a lot, but the perception of abilities was unique to each person, could not be copied, and could not be interfered with, so he just ran out to play with the obsidian worm for a while.
As for the mutant wolfhound, it had already been fighting fiercely with Lei Zi who stayed behind in the camp. It was because of the bag of pure earth crystal core that Zhang Mu had given it before that Zhang Mu's wolfhound directly crushed Lei Zi in the confrontation.
Among the mutant beasts, strength is the most respected. After being defeated, Lei Zi felt submissive to the mutant wolfhound and they both fell in love. Lei Zi was lucky because he was a military dog and had been trained since childhood. At least he remembered Li Hu's order and stayed where he was. As for Zhang Mu's mutant wolfhound, it had already forgotten where he was.
Time passed quickly as he fought the Obsidian Worm at the second level. Suddenly, the Obsidian Worm stopped attacking Zhang Mu, and a voice came from his mind saying, "They are back. Judging from the sound of stomping on the ground, they should be about half of the way out. But everyone's footsteps are heavy, so they should be bringing back the bodies of the mutant beasts."
Zhang Mu looked at the obsidian worm in surprise and said to it, "I can't believe that a wind-type mutant like you can capture the information transmitted from the ground so clearly. Their team should be some distance away from Shanxi City now, otherwise I would not have failed to sense someone approaching."
"Maybe because the military camp is inside Shanxi City, they are still far away from the city.
It’s not more than ten kilometers away.” The obsidian looked up at Zhang Mu and said in a low voice.
"It's so powerful, no wonder. It's still nearly 20 kilometers away from us, so I really can't sense it."
Zhang Mu looked at the obsidian worm with more and more strange eyes, as if he had discovered a new world.
The obsidian worm looked at Zhang Mu with a look that looked at a fool and said, "It's all because of you. If you hadn't given me so many beast cores of different attributes before, would I have been able to reach this point now? It seems that I have a little bit of every ability. I have eaten the most earth-type beast cores, and now my sensitivity to the earth is the strongest.
Why am I treating it differently from that stupid dog? The treatment it has received from beginning to end is a pure earth-type beast core."
Zhang Mu casually replied, "Didn't I know that it would be dangerous for your mutant beasts to eat beast cores of other attributes? I had never raised a mutant beast before you, and the mutant wolfhound came after you, so I have experience.
Besides, you didn’t see any harm from eating it.”
But Zhang Mu suddenly stopped talking here. He looked at the obsidian worms with a bit of fear. The look scared the obsidian worms back two steps. A big worm stared at Zhang Mu and asked warily, "What are you looking at? What do you want to do?"
Zhang Mu paused for a while before he told the one thing he had just discovered that he had always overlooked, "Other mutant beasts taking beast cores of other attributes basically do not help their future potential development at all, except for a short-term increase in energy and rapid improvement of their current strength. Moreover, swallowing too much will cause confusion in the attributes of the body, making it extremely difficult to advance, and it is difficult to break through that layer of resistance.
But you are fine, except for the fact that your mind was affected for a while when you just swallowed it, and the chaotic collision of attributes stimulated the most primitive ferocity, but now there is nothing wrong at all. When you advance to the second level, you can directly use the wind beast core to solve it. The influence of other attributes on you is negligible after you swallowed a large amount of wind beast cores.
Now the ability of the earth attribute is slowly manifesting in you. This is because you have absorbed the most earth attribute beast cores. So is there a possibility that if you continue to absorb beast cores of other attributes, you will have the abilities of various attributes at the same time? "
As soon as he said this, Zhang Mu was frightened by himself.
It is indeed unique. It would be terrifying if it could absorb energy of other attributes and use it for its own benefit.
The obsidian worm fell silent, and then replied to Zhang Mu in an uncertain tone, "I don't know what's going on with my body. It's true that I'm a little resistant to consuming energy of other attributes, but my current performance just proves that I have some abilities of an earth-type mutant beast.
And wasn't there another will that was activated in me before? Although I don't know where it is now, I feel that I have too many secrets hidden in me."
Speaking of the ancient will of the obsidian worm, Zhang Mu felt a little scared when he recalled it. If it had not appeared at the critical moment and single-handedly broken the mental defenses of those nightmare worms and resisted their joint attack, perhaps they would have turned into a pile of yellow earth by now.
However, the current focus is not on the mysterious will, but on the extraordinary characteristics of the obsidian worm.
Zhang Mu had an amazing guess. He lowered his voice and said to the obsidian worm, "Tell me, with the characteristics of your body, can you continue to absorb beast cores of other attributes?
Should we take wind as the main attribute and then develop other attributes, or should we make them evenly distributed? And what are the types and quantities of additional attributes that can be absorbed?"
The obsidian worm shook its head. It knew nothing about anything. Zhang Mu thought that he could only wait until all the beast cores collected by the troops were handed over to him and then slowly test various possibilities.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter how much the obsidian worms eat. It would be a waste if we don’t use such a strong white mouse. What if it succeeds?
Zhang Mu thought of the most terrifying possibility: what if the obsidian worm could infinitely increase its additional attribute abilities after swallowing various animal cores?
Even though it's a fantasy, we should always leave a glimmer of possibility.
All of this will be verified in the future.
Of course, Zhang Mu couldn't tell the Obsidian Bug about this idea, otherwise it would fight him to the death. He could only politely ask it to try to increase its strength.
The road to evolution is already full of dangers. In fact, even just one more earth-related ability would be a huge gain.
A dual-lineage mutant beast that evolved slowly after birth?
