Chapter 39 The Life-Supply Technique (Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)
There were five streaks of crimson light. They did not pause in the air, but instead pounced directly on the four earthworms that were wrapped in large cocoons.
They perched on the spider silk, gently flapping their wings, scattering specks of firefly light, like blood-red flowers blooming on a vast, white, snowy landscape.
Alluring and beautiful!
However, beneath this dazzling brilliance, the true appearance of these slave beasts known as Blood-Eating Worms is far from pleasant.
They are small, only the size of a thumb, with wings similar to those of a moth, yet possessing dragon-like features. They have a pair of horns that meander upwards on their heads, four pairs of crystal limbs on their abdomens, and their entire bodies are bright red.
The blood-eating worm has no eyes or other organs, only a tightly closed mouth. When it is quiet, it resembles a special crystal work of art, exquisitely beautiful.
However, the moment it opens its mouth, it can shatter all beautiful dreams, revealing mouthparts similar to those of a lamprey, covered with ring-shaped sharp teeth, used to extract the life force of all things.
It perfectly blends the ultimate beauty and horror!
Their appearance is largely inherited from the ancient indigenous god of the world where the Heavenly Nun resides, who unleashed a demonic tide and reaped the life force of billions of living beings.
The remaining parts were slightly modified by the Void Mother Nest, making them look much more aesthetically pleasing overall.
Lu Yu didn't care about their appearance; he only cared about their functionality, since these insects were designed to be beast slaves.
They are engineers within the insect hive, consumables whose main purpose is to collect flesh and blood to replenish themselves. They can also be used to weaken opponents, and even if they are lost, they can be recreated with a large amount of flesh and blood.
But this is just the little spider's hobby; it's like any ordinary little girl, liking pretty things.
He even secretly made a small Lu Yu doll out of spider silk, and would occasionally take it out to play with it and rub it against his chest. Every time Lu Yu looked over, the little spider would quickly return to the Void Treasure Chest.
I always thought I had hidden it well.
In reality, he was just pretending not to see it.
"Hiss!"
After the blood-eating insects landed, these earthworms seemed to sense some great terror approaching and frantically twisted their bodies trying to break free.
However, the blood-eating insects would not let go of their first feast after birth. They tore through the spider silk and entered the earthworm's body to devour its life force, turning the earthworm into ashes one by one.
Finally, the blood-eating insects, having eaten their fill, wobbled out, each with a green bubble beneath it, enveloped by four pairs of crystal limbs. They came to the top of Lu Yu and the little spider's heads and gently poked them.
boom!
The bubble suddenly burst, turning into a large amount of green fluorescent light that entered the two people's bodies, directly replenishing the stamina and energy they had consumed during the mission, filling them with power.
According to the little spider, these are life bubbles that the Blood Eater worms collect from monsters.
Piercing it can replenish one's vitality and stamina, and it can be stored in the Void Mother Nest. If the skill proficiency is high enough, it can even be condensed to create life honey.
It belongs to a low-level life-related treasure within the [Life Food Technique].
After consumption, it can replenish physical strength, and long-term use can strengthen the body and prolong life. In the end, whether for personal use or to sell for a lot of money, it will be a good choice.
He was confident that he could complete seventeen missions a day by himself, and that he could rely on these blood-eating insects to replenish his life force.
Moreover, through this high-intensity combat, Little Spider's skill proficiency and strength are also rapidly improving, and he is only one step away from becoming a high-level servant.
This feeling of rapidly becoming stronger caused evil thoughts to begin to sprout in Lu Yu's heart, attempting to tempt him to become a killing emperor and slaughter the lives of an entire city.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
Not only because wanton killing would attract the attention of the Special Branch, and then face the pursuit of an entire state apparatus, it's simply not worth it.
This goes against his bottom line.
Countless evil thoughts can arise in a moment, but reason will restrain them all.
He was a sophisticated egoist who didn't mind turning the corpses of his enemies into nourishment for his own growth—a natural law of the jungle—but he disdained to wield the butcher's knife against the innocent and weak.
Power is something that people control, not something that people become slaves to.
In this world where spiritual power is cultivated, one needs something to anchor one's reason. If one indulges without restraint, one's will may be distorted by some ancient beings, dragged into eternal darkness, and deformed into an indescribable monster.
Moreover, the indigenous gods have harvested the world many times, and even with countless lives and flesh piled up, they have not transcended the world. This shows that the Blood-Eating Worms also have an upper limit, and the level of life required is higher and higher as they progress.
However, his Key to Truth and Secret Food Creation hold infinite possibilities, and we cannot abandon the essential for the trivial. Most importantly, Lu Yu's strength is also increasing amidst these frequent battles, and he will soon break through to the mid-level of the Crimson Bronze rank, not far from the Silver rank.
Earn more money now, so you can choose a second pet that's suitable for building your own spiritual puzzle later.
Although he can use the Evolutionary Secret Food to grant it unlimited possibilities!
But which attribute should be chosen?
How can they be a perfect match for the little spider?
"Unfortunately, the current capacity of the Mother Nest is limited to five of each type of slave beast. The Blinking Spider needs to be grown using space fragments or directly devoured by the void turbulence. We'll have to wait until later. Otherwise, when the insect swarm arrives, it can sweep away everything."
Lu Yu sighed, then patted the little spider's head and said with a smile:
"Time to get back to work. Let's try to get to the abandoned city before 5 o'clock."
"Eek!"
The little spider clenched its fist.
Come on!
...............................
West of the city, 4:50 p.m.
As the sun sets in the west, its light has dimmed considerably, even though it has not yet descended.
Some bloodthirsty monsters have also recovered from their daytime lethargy and are preparing to begin their nighttime hunt.
"Don't walk so fast, wait for me!"
With a crisp sound, a sweet-looking girl in a white dress quickened her pace. Even though she was wearing sneakers, she couldn't walk fast on the ruins full of rubble and broken cement.
Upon hearing this, the two boys in front also stopped and waited.
One of the tall boys, with a band-aid on his nose, looked at the panting girl, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, but his words were sharp:
"Who would go out hunting bloodthirsty hyenas wearing a skirt? That's bizarre."
Hearing this, the girl was somewhat unconvinced and raised her small fist to threaten, "What does it matter? We're beast tamers, not warriors. What we wear doesn't matter. Humph, Zhao Bin, are you looking for trouble? Believe me, I'll ride on your head and hit you like I did in kindergarten!"
"No, it's too fishy."
Zhao Bin blurted out a joke he'd heard online without thinking. He immediately realized he was in trouble and turned to run. The girl was startled, her face flushed red, and she roared:
"I'm going to beat you to a pulp, you old filthy turtle!"
The two chased and fought, and as Zhao Bin ran, he shouted to the bespectacled man beside him:
"Chen Chi, save me! That crazy woman Song Yue is going to kill me!"
"Aaaaah, you dare call me a crazy woman? I'll beat you to death!"
Chen Chi watched this scene with a hint of envy in his eyes, then advised:
"Alright, Song Yue, Zhao Bin, stop fooling around. We still have a mission to do. We need to make a name for ourselves in Dayuan City!"
The three of them were not from Dayuan City, but from Yuanhai Town, a satellite town under the city's jurisdiction.
It's a very cliché story: the three of them have known each other since kindergarten and have been childhood sweethearts. Both boys like the girl, but neither of them confesses, afraid of ruining their friendship.
After all, there will always be one redundant person among three.
Everyone is afraid of being that one.
Even after graduating from the local Beast Taming High School, the two didn't say anything. But in order not to separate, they suggested that they come to Da Yuan City together to make their way in the world, join a top adventure team, and become big shots.
Unfortunately, the first thing they faced wasn't that the task was too difficult, or that they were being deliberately obstructed, but rather...
The rent is too expensive and...
Graduates are facing employment difficulties!
It seems some readers are still unclear about the difference between racial potential and strength. Perhaps I haven't explained it clearly enough, so let me clarify again: racial potential is not the same as strength. A pet beast might have elite-high racial potential, but its strength is only at the servant-high level. This could be because it's not yet an adult or hasn't been properly trained. Racial potential refers to the average racial potential a beast will reach upon reaching adulthood under proper training. Simply having enough to eat doesn't constitute good training. Theoretically, everyone has the potential to attend a top university, but some people perform better than others, resulting in different outcomes.
