As the moon set and the sun rose, a light rain Arensa Wetlands.
Famu dwells in the swamp where Old Frey once hid, absorbing the Pollution ley lines of the earth.
Tiny rings of fluorescence converged from the outer waters towards Famu's location.
The old swamp crocodile had been hiding for thirty years, completely unaware of its impact on the environment, believing those to be remnants of the ley lines. But the ley lines in Arensa had long since dried up.
At level Furnace Core, the Pollution only existed in a small area of Frey Swamp and did not expand over time. However, when this swamp crocodile reached level four, its Pollution of the environment was enough for Ysera to detect its presence.
The white stork warriors returned to their nests; they had offspring to raise, and without Biological Furnace Core, they couldn't stay there for long— the Orbital Ridge Crocodile and swamp crocodiles that silently died on the shallows were the best examples.
But Ysera remained perched on the branch, quietly watching Black Typhon swallow the Pollution.
Super Species represent the end of the Samei Rainforest ecosystem; any transgression will be halted before them.
Famu moved his body. The most Pollution swamp had returned to normal. He swam out along the swamp's waterways and began to eat, disposing of the carcasses of the crocodiles that had stopped in the shallows. There were quite a few, but Famu was able to digest them while eating.
These organisms killed by Pollution contain traces of Earth Vein Energy. If left untreated, they will decompose over time and spread into wetland ecosystems through mosquitoes, scavengers, and rivers. Although the overall impact on the environment may not be significant, Famu, having come to deal with the Pollution, will not leave any loose ends. Moreover, the Earth Vein Energy in these corpses is beneficial to Famu.
How much of a food can be considered a nutritional supplement?
Famu can swallow an Orbital Ridge Crocodile whole in one gulp. After these small creatures die, their limbs stiffen, and they kick their legs straight in the water, looking like a specimen. As for swamp crocodiles, these large crocodiles in wetland ecosystems cannot be swallowed whole. Famu usually takes two bites, one of the head and one of the body.
The Furnace Core of the Child of the Earth trembled incessantly, and blood stained the Frey Swamp red.
But the fluorescent glow that symbolizes the earth's veins can no longer be seen in the blood.
The Pollution has completely disappeared.
This was probably the largest meal Famu had ever eaten since his birth. Old Frey, the crocodile herd, and the Pollution ley lines were all completely digested by the furnace within his body.
Having eaten so much that the calories flowed through his body, Famu yawned comfortably. Typhon's roar carried far and wide, startling the giant toothed fish underwater, and the fish fled the area.
Immediately afterwards, Famu crawled onto the shallows to begin a post-gluttonous hibernation, continuing to transform the Pollution ley lines.
Snakes usually become lazy after they have eaten their fill.
Although the Bronze Bone was also in his stomach, now was not the time to absorb it. According to Famu's habit, he would return to the cave in the Black Swamp to absorb such important things safely.
I'm just taking a light nap now.
As Black Typhon slumbered, Ysera's Furnace Core pulsed for a moment.
To her astonishment, she discovered that her Furnace Core was rising, and the concentration of ley lines in the surrounding environment had reached an extremely high level, the source of which was the Black Typhon that had finished feeding.
Typhon consumed the Pollution, while the Child of the Child of the Earth's Furnace Core transformed Pollution into pure Earth Vein Energy. During Typhon's absorption, temporary ley line fluctuations were created in this body of water.
Ysera felt the earth's veins surging and spread her wings in the drizzle.
When Famu woke up, the sticky swamp was filled with rainwater.
Ysera was still standing there, Scepter spoke, "Detection indicates that this creature's Furnace Core organ has undergone a leap; it is now a level three creature."
"Famu," Ysera said respectfully, "Arensa will forever remember your deeds, and the White Stork will be your loyal ally."
"You look much stronger," Famu said.
"Thanks for your help." Ysera flapped her wings, raindrops falling on her feathers and quickly sliding off.
Famu swayed his body.
Ysera said with some reluctance, "It looks like you're leaving."
"I should go," Famu said.
"The Arensa Wetlands are a rich land, but it has never found a true master. The Swamp King was not lying; there is indeed a remnant ley line deep within Arensa. Although it has dried up, it will one day be able to regenerate the ley lines," Ysera said.
Ysera's implication was that she hoped Famu could rule this place. The legendary Lake Crown was certainly not a naive and Intelligent Species. She was well aware of the enormous ecological burden that supporting a Typhon would place, especially with the Arensa ley lines drying up, Typhon could only maintain its massive size by relying on large amounts of flesh and blood.
Typhon's rule over Arensa will also bring about ecological changes, especially with this Black Typhon. With his abilities, he may have the opportunity to make Arensa embrace the ley lines again and revitalize the parched land.
This is a long process; Ysera is investing in the future of the Arensa Wetlands.
Baptized Typhon was qualified to expand his territory; he needed a vast territory anyway.
If Famu is willing to rule Arensa, then the ley lines of Arensa will naturally belong to him. Over time, as he establishes his own lineage and his family members grow, the remaining ley lines become richer due to Typhon's concentrated activities, and this is how the Lord's Lands are born.
The master of the Lord's Lands is naturally Muerjia.
Ysera considered the white stork's future; at this point in time, the Black Typhon most likely did not have its own fixed territory.
This territory refers to the land connected to the ley lines, and its name in the Mud Language is "Vein Land". Typhon's "Muerjia" comes from this even older Mud Language. The simplest meaning of Muerjia is the master of the Vein Land, the ruler of the ley lines.
For Super Species, only the soil of the ley lines can be called territory; other places are at most temporary dwellings.
Black Typhon has the potential to become like Muerjia.
Ysera wanted to use this opportunity to make the White Stork Family a vassal of Muerjia.
There's a saying in the rainforest: to become a vassal of Muerjia, you need to follow her before she rules the ley lines, expand the territory together, and become the eyes and ears of the rivers.
Muerjia's retainers held extremely high positions, far surpassing those of the Rainforest Messengers and scholars. It was precisely because Typhon had his own priests and retainers that they did not rely on messengers to deliver messages. The messenger network was difficult to operate in Muerjia's waters, and the Mara River basin was now considered one of the more active areas for messengers under Muerjia's rule.
This was simply because the retainers of Bronze Tessa had died in the war, creating a power vacuum that gave these messengers room to operate.
Ysera looked forward to it with such anticipation.
But Famu did not respond to her.
This information would be common sense for a baptized Typhon, but Famu was neither baptized nor had common sense.
He left the Arensa Wetlands with the Bronze Bones and Ysera's disappointed gaze, returning to his comfortable Black Swamp.
