The Bloodline Worm's Terrifying Devouring Ability

The enormous "Moroshir King Flower" is filled with densely packed and flexible "mouthparts" like cow hair. But it is not a rootless duckweed; it must have a fixed structure.

The three legends took turns using each other's strength, each acting as the spearhead, and quickly broke into the designated area. Then they found a place to settle down.

Although those tentacle "mouthparts" are everywhere in the ruins, the deeper you go into the source of those tentacles, the safer you become.

Like lice in a monkey's fur, they're easy to catch, kill, and eat if they're jumping around on the outside of the fur. But once they've burrowed deep into the fur, they become impossible to get rid of.

Of course, deadly threats also exist.

It's just that the tentacles have turned into a strong acid that can easily corrode steel.

While still sleepwalking, Rein suddenly saw his surroundings change, and then he finally lost that intense feeling of "flying." The feeling of his soul almost leaving his body finally merged back into his body.

It seemed like I stepped on something soft and squishy. Upon closer inspection, it was a piece of scarlet soft flesh that looked like a stomach sac.

With a slight sensory awareness, one can clearly feel the "ground" wriggling.

Bazel, panting heavily, clearly exhausted from the charge, said to Rein, "Rein, the three of us will try to stall for three days. The rest is up to you."

Now, all they have to do is endure three days in this swamp-like acidic liquid.

In such a highly acidic environment, building an isolation zone is pointless. The acid can corrode almost everything, and if even a tiny bit leaks in, we'll still have to use our fighting spirit to shield it.

So their solution was simple and brutal. The three legends, like light bulbs, took turns unleashing their battle aura, creating a poison gas-isolated space of about two cubic meters.

At this very moment, it was the most powerful warrior Great Shaman Mafat, who made his move. He unleashed a dazzling white aura that enveloped all four of them.

Meanwhile, Bazel and Canossa immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, taking out their magic cores to begin restoring their fighting spirit.

"Good!"

Rein dared not delay, so he removed his heavy armor and exposed his upper body.

He decisively took out a scalpel and, without hesitation, made several long, bloody cuts on his right arm, from his shoulder blade to his palm. Then, pulling at a corner of the skin, like peeling the skin off a snake, he "ripped" off the skin of his entire right arm.

Because he was already very skilled in human anatomy, Rein's cuts were swift and precise, and he peeled off the skin without any hesitation, revealing a scarlet arm with exposed muscles and blood vessels in the blink of an eye.

The other three legends, though experienced and knowledgeable, couldn't help but twitch at the sight of Rein peeling his own skin off.

Without delay, Rein injected some medicine into the writhing "rock wall" beside him, then cut an opening and stuffed his bloody right arm into it before the monster could heal.

He planted himself in the monster as if he were planting flowers and grass.

Then, Rein took out various cultivation potions and anti-rejection potions, and injected them into the junction of his arm and the monster in sequence.

The initial sense of rejection was very strong. The monster was huge, and although you couldn't feel the strangeness, your instincts would expel whatever had entered your body. The immune systems of both sides were also fighting each other fiercely.

This process is roughly like oil and water mixing; initially, they are completely different substances, but with the help of the drug, they gradually turn into a paste. Ultimately, the goal is for both Rein's immune system and the monster to slowly begin to perceive each other as "one of their own."

After the first step is completed, the next step is continuous injection of the drug for assimilation until a portion of Rein's bodily circulation is incorporated into the monster's bodily circulation, thus completing the entire "grafting".

The first day was relatively easy for all four of them.

Mafat, Canossa, and Bazel took turns using their fighting spirit to hold the fort.

Rein, on the other hand, was always on guard against being "excluded" and having all his previous efforts wasted, and he often used lightning-type battle Gang Line to sew his arm back to the monster.

The next day.

Even the three legends were finding it a bit difficult.

Rein reacted more strongly.

He underwent an assimilation reaction, and strange petals grew on his skin, resembling miniature corpse flowers.

However, these are minor issues. Once fully integrated, the [Divine Healing Technique] can quickly resolve these negative states.

The third day was tough for everyone.

Canossa and Bazel were pale, the continuous consumption of their battle aura taking a heavy toll on their bodies.

Even Mafat's unfathomable Qi Sea was completely depleted, forcing him to frantically replenish his battle qi with high-level magic cores.

Fortunately, thanks to the "Mind Core's" rigorous and error-free calculations, the "transplant surgery" proceeded smoothly, just as Rein had anticipated.

Finally, Rein, whose skin was so black it looked like he had been poisoned, no longer felt that sense of rejection.

He knew that his arm had successfully "taken root" inside the monster's body!

"It's done!"

Rein's shout instantly roused the three legends.

Bazel's face lit up with joy. "Haha, if you hadn't done it, I would have been completely drained."

Canossa let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at Rein and said calmly with concern, "Be careful."

Rein nodded, took out a vial of medicine and handed it to her, saying, "This is a potion to put that bug into hibernation. If anything goes wrong, just cut off my arm and inject the medicine."

Canossa nodded, her tone decisive. "Okay, leave it to me."

At this moment, Rein took out some more pink powder and said solemnly, "In one minute, I will activate the worms inside my body. Judging from the size of this 'Moroshir King Flower,' it may take a long time for the worms to mature and absorb their nutrients. The rest is up to you all; please don't let my arm detach from this fleshy wall."

With Mafat, this "human life-saving machine," here, Rein doesn't need to worry about dying on the spot.

"Good!"

The three legends nodded in agreement, preparing to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

"Call"

At that moment, Rein took a deep breath, with the resolute air of someone standing on the edge of a cliff, taking one last look at the world.

He had no idea what would happen next.

Because everything is theoretical.

Although there are two live cases of this "alien biological limb technology" by his teacher Ilubeck and Tuster, both the "Neuro-bloodline Worms" and the "Moroshir King Flower" are far beyond the scope of theory.

No one can guarantee that it will definitely succeed.

Rein was also extremely decisive. After making preparations, he took a big gulp of the powder.

Then, in the next instant, I felt a swelling sensation in my arm, as if something was about to burst out of it.

Rein had experienced an insect infestation once before, so this feeling wasn't surprising.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he whispered, "They're here!"

In that instant, he felt his right arm suddenly expand like a bursting balloon, but in the next instant, he felt nothing at all.

Fortunately, there was no sign of the body shrinking or degenerating at all!

Rein was overjoyed. "It seems the isolation treatment for insects was very successful!"

As long as there are no signs of the body becoming emaciated immediately, it means that the most dangerous step has been taken.

His heart was pounding in his throat, and he stared intently at his right arm.

Meanwhile, Bazel, who was about to chop off his hand, and Canossa, who was holding the medicine and preparing to inject it, both looked equally nervous.

Seeing the joy on Rein's face, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Canossa: "It's done?"

"The first step is done," Rein replied.

Bazel, unaware of anything amiss, asked, "Why does it feel like there's no change? Is it not working as expected?"

"Have no idea"

Rein had lost all feeling in his arm and had no idea what had happened.

But in the next instant, something unexpected happened!

The "ground" where the four people were standing suddenly visibly deflated, like a punctured balloon, at an astonishing speed!

"Careful!"

Fortunately, all three were legends and reacted extremely quickly.

The three of them grabbed Rein's body almost simultaneously, preventing him from pulling his hands out of the monster's body.

At this moment, they all saw that the flesh walls within a radius of several hundred meters withered away, and all the "mouthparts" were instantly sucked dry, turning into a charred black like withered grass.

Bazel exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is really weird!"

Last time at Storm Lake, this red-haired fellow wiped out their entire army, and seeing him again still sent chills down his spine.

In the blink of an eye, what emerged from the monster's flesh was no longer "red lines," but rather "blood-red earthworms" that were as thick as bowls and swaying incessantly!

As the rate of drying increases, the red blood vessels become more numerous, larger, and cover a wider area.

In the blink of an eye, the "mouthparts" tentacles that had previously filled the field of vision all turned into increasingly plump Bloodline Worms!

"Rein, you really did it!"

Upon seeing this, Bazel was overjoyed.

With their Transcendent and keen senses, they clearly felt the monster's aura beneath their feet suddenly drop dramatically, as if a dam had burst.

Rein felt excited; he finally regained feeling in his right arm!

Moreover, it seemed that those "Bloodline Worms" had become connected to his nerves. He felt as if those Bloodline Worms had become extensions of his arms, burrowing into the monster's body like earthworms digging into the soil!

The monster seemed to sense the changes within its body and instinctively tried to expel the thing that was sucking its blood.

But it's like a mosquito sucking blood; by the time you feel the pain and itching, it's too late to undo the damage.

The Bloodline Worms had spread for thousands of meters, taking root firmly like several roots, and could no longer break free.

This is why Rein chose to "transplant" the monster's core, precisely because it couldn't even "cut off its tail to survive"!

However, the "Moroshir King Flower" was simply too large. Even with its bodily fluids leaking out like a burst dam, its life force could not be completely depleted in a short time.

Countless tentacles began to attack Rein and his companions frantically, but before they could even get close, without Bazel and the other two needing to do anything, they were drained dry by the Bloodline Worms and fell down.

Now,

On the outskirts of the Ashen Forest, in a temporary defensive base surrounded by more than a dozen Mechanical City, gunfire roared. The hunters, battling endless zombies, also witnessed the changes in the Giant Flower at the heart of the forest.

"Look! That Giant Flower seems to be withering again."

Everyone saw that the Giant Flower, which was ten thousand meters tall, was shrinking at a rate of almost tens of meters per second.

"It's unbelievable. These Hell Creature have terrifying vitality; they could easily live for tens of thousands of years. I never expected them to wither like this."

"Yes, it seemed to be awake and eating before, so how could it suddenly wither?"

"Brothers, forget about that monster flower, kill it all! These 'zombie black crystals' may not be as effective as magic cores, but they're still worth a lot. If we can get back alive, we'll be rich!"

"."

No one knew what had happened, and no one dared to leave the Mechanical City to investigate.

What they had to face was wave after wave of zombies.

Meanwhile, inside a stone chamber within the Giant Flower, the red-robed Red Robe Archmage, also exhausted of magic and pale-faced, sensed the unusual commotion outside.

Because the monsters' bodily fluids were drained, the stone chamber where they were bound by countless mouthparts became unstable and collapsed.

After breaking through the wall, the group discovered that the tentacles around them were shrinking in large areas.

"Hey! Look, it's those guys!"

With their exceptionally Transcendent senses, these Red Robe Mage naturally spotted Rein and his companions at a glance.

Seeing that Bazel and the other two were protecting Rein, they naturally understood what was going on.

"No wonder those guys have been so furious these past few days; it turns out they weren't trying to break out, but rather created such a huge commotion."

"Even with our combined fifth-ring [Withering Technique] in actual combat, we could only wither a small portion of the flesh wall, and the monster recovered completely in the blink of an eye. How did they manage to wither this Giant Flower with its terrifyingly exaggerated vitality?"

"Haha, who cares how he did it? This is good for us! As long as this monster weakens a little more, we can work together to break through the flesh wall and get out!"

"."

These Red Robe Mage had already resigned themselves to certain death.

But now that they saw the hope of survival was right in front of them, they became excited.

At this moment, Sefa Rosas, the patriarch of the Rosas Family in City of Radiance, turned his eyes and a cold glint flashed in them.

He addressed the crowd, saying, "We have slaughtered the Barbarian Tribe and forged a blood feud. That old barbarian must not be allowed to live, or he will surely become a great threat in the future!"

Everyone who had witnessed Mafat's ferocity was immediately alarmed upon hearing this.

At this moment, someone else chimed in, "That's right! Since that barbarian old man can join forces with Bazel and that mysterious legendary expert, the three of them must have a close relationship. If we don't eliminate them today, they will definitely become a great threat to our City of Radiance in the future. Besides, now that their fighting spirit is almost exhausted, don't you all feel that these are three 'Divine Power Crystal' delivered to our doorstep?"

If it were other treasures, perhaps they wouldn't be able to persuade the two legends to form a grudge with a powerhouse of the same level.

After all, those who can reach the legendary level all have some means of survival.

If they are not killed this time, they will surely become a major threat in the future.

Upon hearing the words "Divine Power Crystal," the two legends were clearly tempted.

This is a rare opportunity.

[Black Witch] Dia let out a strange laugh, her eyes revealing greed. "Hehe. Three 'Divine Power Crystal,' worth a fight."

Carlo, the Frost Moon Sword Master, decisively replied, "Alright!"

The two legends agreed to join the fight, and the two sides hit it off immediately.

"Wait a little longer, until this monster is weak enough, then we'll make our move!"

"Mage Corps, prepare the Imprisonment Spell!"

"Yes!"
