Lina Ya'an also imitated the other small Blood-Derived creatures that had gone out to gather, bouncing and hopping toward the mountain-like Fat Blood Nest.
Upon approaching the Fat Blood Nest, Lina Ya'an felt as though the entire nest were alive!
Thud, thud, thud, thud...
A Derivative Beast with metal and flesh perfectly fused together emerged from one of the Fat Blood Nest's passageways.
It looked like a clumsy gorilla with three arms. Such a weapon of war, so utterly incompatible with biological evolution, would probably drive Fladick's engineering scholars insane if they saw it. They would tear it apart and send it straight back to the assembly plant for reassembly.
It was not only Lina Ya'an. The other Blood-Derived creatures near the nest also stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the Derivative Beast.
Click, click, click, click.
Lina Ya'an possessed an extraordinarily keen sensitivity to sound. She seemed to hear that, after the metal and flesh had fused, the flesh-organism cells operating at high power had entered a state of accelerated metabolism and self-destruction.
There was no doubt that this state granted it astonishing strength!
The Derivative Beast stood about five meters tall—the Blood-Derived creatures' proudest weapon of war, a weapon that had successfully repelled the Angel Descent War Legion countless times.
From Lina Ya'an's perspective, the Derivative Beast before her was roughly equivalent to the A-rank combat weapons of the Academic World, second only to the War King. It was enough to force any Extraordinary Scholar to give it their all.
Immediately afterward.
Under Lina Ya'an's gaze, the clumsy behemoth suddenly became as nimble as a monkey. It climbed toward the top of the Fat Blood Nest, displaying a biological imitation that Fladick's multifunctional alloy war machines could never achieve. With its flesh and alloy
