Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 277 Crimson Absorption!

Funi was already in this ruined world early on, and she was both curious and apprehensive about the creator who was strengthening her.

Vampires are a race with an extreme pursuit of beauty, and Funi was terrified that the creator who came to strengthen her would be an ugly old man with wrinkled skin.

Zhong Yi walked up to the giant worker ant and reached out to touch the extremely hard stinging hairs on its wings.

This stinging hair is extremely hard, and it has very prickly little protrusions on it.

According to Fang Ze, every swarming female worker ant dreams of becoming a queen ant.

Previously, as a female ant ruled by the queen, the queen's authority had deeply penetrated the heart of this female nuptial worker ant.

This prevented the female worker ant from having the idea of ​​becoming the queen.

The creator's task is to simultaneously prepare potions to help the worker ants undergo a bloodline transformation and to use their souls to psychologically influence the worker ant queen.

To put it simply, it's about using rhetoric and psychological suggestion to rebuild the self-confidence of a chubby little guy with a pockmarked face, weighing over 200 pounds and less than 1.5 meters tall.

Without altering his original appearance, make him feel like the most beautiful and handsome person in the world.

For the vast majority of creators, this is not an easy task.

Zhongyi doesn't need to make any preparations at all; all she needs to do is feed this Celestial Ant a Soul-Controlling Seed.

The Seed of Soul Control contains the will of the Flower of Soul Control, and this will is enough to help this female worker ant that is about to take a wedding flight regain her confidence.

When Zhong Yi was investigating this female worker ant using the All Things Detection method, he discovered that all of her skills and unique characteristics were related to her infrastructure capabilities.

While it offers no advantage in combat or other aspects, this skill and unique characteristic are most suitable for the Celestial Ant.

Zhong Yi took out a Soul Control Seed, and the aura released by the Soul Control Seed immediately attracted the attention of the Celestial Worker Ant and the vampire Funi.

Funi could sense that the seed contained a power that could transform her own bloodline.

However, without Zhong Yi's permission, Fu Ni looked pitifully at the Soul Control Seed in Zhong Yi's hand while gazing enviously at the Celestial Worker Ant.

The worker ants excitedly lowered their heads even further, but their heads also had a great many fine hairs, which were hard and sharp, with the shortest one being nearly a meter long.

This makes it impossible for the worker ant's head to get close enough to Zhongyi.

Zhong Yi immediately activated his soul power to summon Hong Ji, Li Yu, and Lan Po together.

The Red Princess used the battle puppet formed by the Blood Thread Needle to manipulate the blood vessels to wrap the Soul Control Seed and deliver it to the mouth of the female flying worker ant.

Like a pilgrim, the Heavenly Worker Ant swallowed the Soul Control Seed into its belly.

Zhong Yi leaned against Li Yu's back, and Li Yu's five fox tails, each over ten meters long, formed a soft animal skin armchair for Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi held Lan Po in his arms, stroking its soft fur and gently touching its chin. Lan Po then emitted a very soothing snoring sound.

Zhong Yi used the Source Energy Teleportation Platform to exchange five points of Divine Source Value for the corpses of level two and three demons for the Soul Control Flower in one go.

The mountain of monster corpses was piled up in the ruined world, allowing the Soul-Controlling Flower to absorb the life and soul energy from these monster corpses.

Hong Ji then devoured and absorbed the materials that had been infused with life and soul energy by these Soul-Controlling Flowers.

Red Princess had never eaten these monster corpses before, and she was extremely interested in these fresh ingredients.

Besides spending five points of Divine Source Value to exchange for monster corpses, Zhong Yi discovered that the price of the Thousand-Year Forest Core within the Myriad Realms Creation Company was less than 100 points of Divine Source Value.

Its value fluctuates between 60 and 100 points depending on the year.

Even the core of a thousand-year-old forest, which is over nine thousand years old, is only worth 99 points of divine source value.

This price is even more cost-effective than the price of exchanging the core of the Thousand-Year Forest in the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault.

The core of a thousand-year-old forest, which is nearly ten thousand years old, would cost at least 220 points of divine source value if placed outside.

Zhong Yi simply exchanged it for three hundred Millennium Forest Cores.

Zhongyi used the remaining 20,000+ Divine Source Points to exchange for bloodline materials that were useful for the growth of vampires.

There is also a production-type blood attribute plant-type beast that costs nearly 10,000 points, called Blood-Brewing Grapevine.

However, what was exchanged for these nearly 10,000 points of divine source value was only a section of the Blood-Brewing Grapevine.

It needs to be propagated by cuttings using the methods of creators to help it survive in order to produce blood grapes containing pure blood energy.

Zhong Yi felt that with the help of the Soul-Breaking Soil, she had the ability to make this branch of the Blood-Brewing Grapevine grow into a new individual.

After finishing all this, Zhongyi half-closed her eyes.

The Celestial Ant that swallowed the Soul Control Seed underwent a tremendous change in its body.

Its size grew larger and larger, and the blue on its gray-blue insect carapace became increasingly intense.

The thick fine hairs that originally grew on their bodies became increasingly dense.

From a distance, this female flying worker ant, whose bloodline is evolving, looks like a giant sea urchin quietly staying on the seabed.

The dense, hard hairs made it difficult for Zhong Yi, who was sitting nearby, to clearly see the true appearance of the worker ant.

As the bloodline of this worker ant continues to evolve, the wings on its back gradually shrink, just like a tender leaf withering.

This indicates that the female worker ant was absorbing energy from the ant's wings.

This is precisely the clear sign that the worker ant is awakening its queen bloodline and transforming into a worker ant queen.

When this female nuptial worker ant's bloodline completely transformed into the worker ant queen, the worker ant queen, resembling a giant sea urchin, could no longer have her exact body length measured.

Including its thick, fine hairs, this sea urchin-like queen ant has a diameter of nearly 40 meters.

Just as I was wondering how this queen ant ant ate its food, I heard a short, loud sonic boom.

Upon closer inspection, Zhong Yi saw that the enormous abdomen of the Queen Ant, enveloped in cilia, was rapidly wriggling.

One ant egg after another is laid from the ant's abdomen.

After these ant eggs are laid, the sticky substance on their surface will directly adhere to the cilia that grow inside the queen ant's body.

As the cilia continue to tremble, the ant eggs are neatly arranged on the cilia.

Each of these ant eggs is only the size of a broad bean.

If it weren't for Zhong Yi's excellent eyesight, he would have had a hard time seeing the ant eggs under the enormous size of this Queen Ant.

Before long, the ant eggs began to hatch.

The hatched ant eggs spray out a slippery sticky substance, and the newborn ant offspring slide off their cilia along with the sticky substance.

After landing on the ground, it began to quickly gnaw at the rocks.

The translucent insect carapace gradually darkened, turning into a grayish-blue color similar to that of the Queen Ant.

However, the blue on the insect carapace was much less compared to the almost entirely bright blue color of the Queen Ant's carapace.

Even after these insect beetles have fully developed, the ant offspring are still only the size of a broad bean.

Even after they had eaten their fill, these ant offspring continued to feed on the rocks on the ground.

Gradually, the abdomens of these ant offspring became extremely swollen, turning into translucent, egg-sized shapes.

Through the translucent gray-blue outer skin, Zhongyi could see that it was filled with a gray-brown liquid.

When the ant's abdomen swells to its maximum and liquid begins to flow out, these ant offspring slowly move their bodies and climb onto the body of the Queen ant through their cilia.

They systematically crawled to the mouth of the queen ant and injected the liquid filling their abdomen into two specialized, bucket-shaped cilia.

These liquids slide directly into the mouth of the Queen Engineer Ant along two specialized cilia.

Upon seeing this, Zhongyi realized that the Queen Engineer Ant obtains energy from these small nurse ants.

These small ants lack the ability to build infrastructure, but they are essential for ensuring that the queen worker ant receives energy and can reproduce other ants.

The Queen Ant has now become Zhongyi's tamed beast.

Zhong Yi was the first to form a contract with the Heavenly Craft Ant Queen through the Soul Control Seed, but he would not provide the Heavenly Craft Ant Queen with the Flowing Soul Soil.

Zhong Yi clearly told the Heavenly Craft Ant Queen that she only had ten days.

During these ten days, the Queen Ant will plan the production of these nurse ants.

Use the available energy to produce as many ant colonies as possible to be responsible for building.

After receiving Zhongyi's orders, the Queen Ant, Tiangong, ambitiously began to build her own ant kingdom.

Zhong Yi, meanwhile, dozed off, focusing on recovering the soul power he had expended using the Transmission Token.

In any case, the production of Soul-Breaking Soil is fixed during these two days.

The current Soul Flower has not yet produced a Soul Seed capable of forming a contract with this vampire, so there's really nothing Zhong Yi can do right now.

However, Funi was terrified by Zhongyi's passive-aggressive behavior.

I thought Zhongyi didn't intend to train me.

Zhong Yi's method of helping the Heavenly Craft Ant Queen transform surprised Funi.

The seed that fed the celestial worker ants clearly had the ability to enhance his bloodline.

The boy in front of me didn't feed me the seed. Did I do something wrong to upset him?

The more Funi thought about it, the more frightened and aggrieved she became.

Her small mouth twitched, and a few glistening tears welled up in her dark red eyes.

Funi was afraid that the sound of her tears falling to the ground would disturb the boy's rest.

Funi quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

Zhong Yi was unaware of this and slept for more than a day before stretching on the recliner made of fox tail.

The second Soul Seed has been condensed, and Zhong Yi is preparing to use it to strengthen Funi's bloodline.

Zhong Yi is generous in his resources when it comes to highly intelligent humanoid beings like vampires.

When Zhongyi's gaze fell on Funi, he found Funi hanging her head dejectedly, her two chubby little hands folded in front of her.

Zhong Yi couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Does this vampire have autism?"

As a highly intelligent being, it is easy to develop tendencies toward depression and social withdrawal.

If that's the case, then I really need to take better care of this vampire named Funi in the future.

Zhong Yi cleared his throat and stood up. Instead of calling Funi to his side, he walked over to Funi and squatted down.

Then, he took out three points of Divine Source Value to exchange for one Blood Demon Lychee, peeled off the bright red skin of the Blood Demon Lychee, and presented the crystal-clear red lychee flesh inside to Funi's lips.

"This Blood Demon Lychee should be very sweet and will be very helpful for your growth."

"I've replaced 1000 of them for you, so you can eat a few every day from now on."

"After you finish eating this Blood Demon Lychee, I will begin to help you improve your bloodline."

Looking at the Blood Demon Lychee handed to her and hearing Zhongyi's words, Funi suddenly raised her head, her previously dejected eyes instantly brightening.

With her large, watery eyes, Funi looked at Zhong Yi and asked cautiously.

"Is this Blood Demon Lychee really meant for me?"

A Blood Demon Lychee, worth three points of Divine Source, is an extremely expensive resource, not only for Funi, but even for a vampire count.

For Zhongyi now, acquiring Divine Source Value is an easy thing.

However, for ordinary geniuses struggling on the virtual source network, it is very likely that they will not be able to gain three points of divine source value in a year.

From birth until now, Funi has never eaten anything as expensive as the Blood Demon Lychee.

The boy in front of me had actually prepared 1000 of them for himself!

I can eat a few every day!

Furthermore, this young man was also preparing to enhance his bloodline.

Funi, who thought she had been abandoned, felt like she had seen a savior when she saw Zhongyi handing her the Blood Demon Lychee.

Forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Funi gave Zhong Yi a knightly salute as gracefully as possible.

Then he gently took the Blood Demon Lychee that Zhongyi offered and took a bite.

The sweet, rich juice and delicious blood energy made Funi let out a pleasant hum.

Realizing she had made such an embarrassing sound, Funi quickly covered her mouth with her hand in embarrassment.

After Funi finished eating the Blood Demon Lychee, Zhong Yi spoke earnestly to Funi.

"I will feed you the seed that helps the Celestial Ants evolve in a moment, and your bloodline will at least be elevated to the level of a viscount."

"At that time, you can reshape your physical body. I will not give you any advice on gender; that will be your choice."

While saying this, Zhong Yi recalled what Fang Ze had said: each vampire possesses their own unique blood magic.

Zhong Yi immediately began investigating Fu Ni.

【Name】：Fennen 【Race】：Vampire 【Level】：Level 1 【Bloodline】：Vampire Knight 【Contract】：Can be contracted 【Contract Relationship】：None 【Rules】：None 【Fate】：Purple Ability 【Crimson Absorption】：By absorbing the blood of her own kind, she stores the basic abilities of her kind in blood crystals, and can temporarily use the abilities absorbed through blood during battle.

As a vampire, Funi is different from ordinary beast tamers.

Funi's data template is also different from that of Beast Tamers, but is comparable to those with bloodlines that one likes to encounter on the Virtual Source Network.

At present, Funi only possesses one ability, which is called Crimson Absorption.

Seeing Scarlet absorb this ability, Zhongyi looked at Funi with a hint of amusement.

Scarlet absorption allows Funi to absorb the blood of other vampires and acquire a variety of unique blood magic.

Then, the acquired blood magic is imprinted into the blood crystals that exist within each vampire.
