After finishing her meal and sleeping under a blanket on the sofa for a while, Haomei began having her blood drawn: 400 milliliters at a time, in three sessions, for a total of 1,200 milliliters.
Baha's suggestion of drawing another 2,000 milliliters was just bluffing. Su Xiao wanted Haomei's blood to purify the energy particles that could fuse lightning with blood, then find a way to replicate them.
Su Xiao had long since discovered the hidden power in Contractors' professions and bloodline abilities. They were products optimized by Paradise. They seemed less powerful than the originals only because their side effects had been removed.
The last batch of Sister Juice Orange had brought Su Xiao great gains. The first version of the Devourer had been developed from Sweet Orange's cells and Ancient God source blood. Later, after the Eye Ritual made it possible to create the "Eye of Darkness," the first-generation Devourer, Black A, came into existence.
Crimson and Dark Sun were actually the second- and third-generation products cultivated from Black A's fragments.
The original purpose of creating the Devourer had been to make a living tracker that could absorb an enemy's blood and hair and track them indefinitely.
After it was created, however, they discovered that the thing was exceptionally vicious. Its tracking ability was mediocre, but its ability to devour living beings was astonishingly powerful.
At that time, the Devourer was still different from what it was now. It had been classified as a single-use weapon. After using it once, Su Xiao discovered its strongest trait: it could not only coexist with a host, but grow stronger alongside the host.
Only after that came the Black A version of the first-generation Devourer. No one would have guessed that this thing's original inspiration had been a tracking creature. Its
