"After absorbing such a source crystal, one of them is still a second-order source crystal of high quality, and it has not even broken through to a second-order evolutionary...... That's not quite right! Looking at Lin Ying in front of him, Lin Han thought in his heart.

It stands to reason that absorbing so many source crystals, the source energy contained in them is enough to support Lin Ying to directly break through to the second order. But now that Lin Ying has been stuck at the peak of the first order, even if some evolutionaries who particularly consume source energy consume more resources than ordinary people, it should be more than enough.

You must know that a high-quality second-order source crystal can allow ordinary evolutionaries to directly upgrade from the strength of the late first order to the second order. Even those evolutionaries who consumed a little more resources would be able to advance successfully at this time by devouring one or two more ordinary first-order source crystals.

And Lin Ying is now devouring a top-grade second-order source crystal, and then devouring eight first-order source crystals, among which several first-order source crystals are obtained from mutated zombies, and their quality is far beyond that of ordinary first-order source crystals. If this is someone else, let alone break through to the second order, it will be no problem to let your strength rise again.

"Brother, I said that the quality of your source crystal is not good?" Just as Lin Han was thinking, Lin Ying suddenly said on the side.

"Well, how can you say that?"

"No, I obviously feel that after the last few source crystals were devoured by me, the growth of the source energy in my body was obviously much smaller than before, almost negligible...... Brother, could it be that this source crystal also has inferior products? ”

"What, no growth?!" Lin Han couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

You must know that although the help of the first-order source crystal to the first-order evolutionary in the later stage is indeed very small, it is not so small that it is almost negligible.

"Are you sure there was no growth in the end?" This kind of thing is not trivial, Lin Han couldn't help but ask Lin Ying again.

"Well, it is. It seems that by the time I reached the peak of the first order, my strength had already grown very slowly. I saw Lin Ying's eyes looking at the sky and recalled.

"After reaching the peak of the first order, you were stuck, right...... Could it be that Xiao Ying, you are the source devouring robber! Seeing Lin Ying's situation, Lin Han couldn't help but have such a name in his heart.

"Huh? What's that? ”

"The Origin-devouring body is a very special physique among evolutionaries. People with this physique need several times more resources than ordinary people when they are promoted. But this kind of person can often do it to the enemy, because they can achieve almost 100% utilization rate when absorbing source energy, and they can also automatically purify source energy. In other words, the source energy in their bodies is much purer than that in the bodies of the same level evolutionaries. ”

In Lin Han's memory, as long as the resources were sufficient, people with this kind of physique were guaranteed to be ninth-order evolutionaries in the previous life, and even became king-level evolutionaries. You must know that once you reach the later stage of your evolution, in addition to needing a lot of resources to support it, your own talent is also very important. People with poor talent may not be able to successfully advance even if you use more resources.

Thinking of this, Lin Han was happy and depressed at this time. The happy thing is that if this kind of special physique, which is unique in ten thousand, is really in his sister, as long as she grows up, she can definitely surpass his own original achievements! As an elder brother, he certainly likes to see such things, and it will be a great help in his future survival.

Of course, he is a little depressed because of this physique, although it is very powerful, but as he said, it is simply a bottomless pit when he is promoted! Otherwise, this kind of physique would not be called "robbery"!

If you want to use the same level Source Crystal to survive the promotion stage, the amount required can even be said to be several times more than the sum of the amount used before reaching the peak!

For example, if Lin Ying wants to reach the second order from the first order now, I am afraid that she can only succeed by devouring the second order source crystal. If it's just a matter of devouring the first-order source crystals, I'm afraid you'll have to devour at least a few dozen more! Compared to using a second-order source crystal, this is obviously not a good deal.

At this time, Lin Han couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, why didn't he save the second-order source crystal for the last to use it. In this way, even if he knew that Lin Ying was a source devouring robber at that time, he would first use a second-order source crystal with the assistance of the first few first-order source crystals, and then use a second-order source crystal, maybe he would have successfully advanced at this time. Even if you can't advance, you will definitely not be far from being promoted, and you only need to devour two or three more ordinary second-order source crystals to be able to successfully advance.

You must know that although the Source Devouring Body is a bottomless pit when it is promoted, before it reaches the peak of a stage, the source energy required is almost the same as that of ordinary people, and even when it can be almost 100% transformed, it can be faster!

But things have happened, and Lin Han is already powerless. Fortunately, with his strength, it would not be difficult to get another second-order source crystal. The only problem is that the current second-order zombie is simply a rare animal, and the one he encountered before can evolve into a second-order zombie in a very short period of time due to pure luck.

"Then the reason why my strength is growing so slowly is not because of the problem of the source crystal, but because of my own problem?"

"Well, that's pretty much it...... But don't worry too much, with your current strength, you might be able to compete with second-order evolutionaries. ”

This was not Lin Han's words to comfort Lin Ying. Because the Origin Devouring Body itself has a strong ability to leapfrog enemies, especially when it is at the peak of a stage, its actual combat effectiveness should have reached the standard of the next stage!

This is also where the Origin-Eater is strongest, because among Evolutionaries, there is still an opportunity to suppress it with skill or ability between the same tier. But if the difference in the degree of evolution between the two reaches the first order or above, then the other party can completely crush the other party with their higher-level lifeforms! However, the Origin Devouring Body can fight beyond the level when there is a difference of one order, which is simply perverted to the extreme!

"Oh? In other words, can I be considered a second-order evolutionary now? Lin Ying reconfirmed to Lin Han with some excitement.

"Your strength should now be comparable to that of an ordinary second-order evolutionary, but your life level still belongs to the category of first-order lifeforms, and if the other party has an attack that specifically targets the existence of first-order lifeforms, it will be a big trouble."

"But if you really want to know your current strength, it's easy...... Just come and fight with me! ”

After speaking, Lin Han didn't wait for Lin Ying to give an accurate answer, so he suddenly retreated and put on a fighting posture. Fortunately, this neighborhood is relatively remote, and there is no sign of zombie gathering under Lin Han's reconnaissance, so Lin Han decided to fight with Lin Ying to judge her current strength.

Seeing this, Lin Ying immediately condensed a stream of frost:

"Okay, it's been a few days since I practiced with you last time, and now it's time for you to help me see how much my strength has grown!"

"Come on!" The corners of Lin Han's mouth outlined a hint of a smile and said. After all, he used to only hearsay about such things as the Source Devouring Tribulation, and he didn't die in his previous life, and he really saw everyone who was alive and devouring the Source Devouring Body. Now he wanted to see if this Origin Devouring Tribulation Body that claimed to be able to fight beyond the level was really so rebellious!

"Huhu...... Call...... Brother, no...... If you don't fight, you can't move......" Soon, Lin Ying couldn't hold on under Lin Han's all-out attack. The whole person was lying on the ground panting as if he had been exhausted of his source energy before.

"Yes, I didn't spare my hand for such a short time. Even a true second-order evolutionary may not be able to do it. ”

At this time, Lin Han, who was standing on the side, looked very relaxed. But in fact, his heart was extremely shocked, you must know that he is a real third-order peak evolutionary, even if he is as strong as the second-order ability zombie before, he has not survived a few rounds under his hands.

But Lin Ying is now a first-order peak evolutionary of the Eight Classics, and she has not yet reached the second-order in terms of life level. At the level of a first-order lifeform, she was able to hold on to his hands for a while, which was enough to show that her strength was already the standard of the second order, and it was even much stronger than that of an ordinary second-order evolutionary! At least the overall strength is stronger than the previous second-order ability zombie!

However, for Lin Han, the better Lin Ying's talent and strength, the better it will be for their future actions. The only downside is that the amount of source crystals or other resources needed for evolution will be a huge number.

"Alas, let's just raise a sister who can eat......" Lin Han smiled helplessly in his heart.

By the time the warbler had fully recovered, the sun was already high in the sky at this time. Lin Han didn't rush anymore, but took Lin Ying to find a relatively well-preserved shop to rest temporarily. In fact, they are now located in the center of Jingtong City, close to the suburbs. The distribution of zombies is far less dense than in the city center, and the two of them can sit down and eat some food to replenish their strength.

“MD！ After running for so long, I finally got rid of those monsters! ”

Before Lin Han could sit his ass hot, a burst of scolding suddenly came from not far away.

"Shhhh Be quiet! So loud, are you trying to lure those monsters back? ”

"Alright, okay, you two don't quarrel. Let's find a place to rest, we haven't eaten for more than a day, and we're starving! ”

"Oh, look! The place ahead seems to be relatively safe, so let's go and avoid it first. ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't find a place to rest, I guess I'm going to exhaust myself to death before I starve to death!"

These conversations were heard by Lin Han in the store without missing a word. Under the detection of spiritual power, he soon discovered the owner of the voice, which was three men who looked to be in their 20s, led by a man with a striking tattoo on his left arm, but the appearance was so strange that even Lin Han couldn't tell what it was.

The clothes on their bodies had already been torn apart in the chaos, hanging like strips of cloth, and their faces and pants were covered with mud stains, and they looked very embarrassed. They are supposed to be survivors of the zombie pursuit.

But what really made Lin Han care was that these three people happened to choose the place where he and Lin Ying were located as a temporary refuge. This couldn't help but make Lin Han frown, because he didn't want to deal with these people, or he didn't want these three people to cause them some inconsequential trouble.

"Huh? Brother, is someone coming here? It doesn't seem to be a zombie......" At this time, Lin Ying, who had been eating, seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly raised her head and said to Lin Han.

Lin Han was startled at first, and then immediately relieved. You must know that Lin Ying is now an evolutionary whose strength exceeds that of ordinary second-order lifeforms, and she has an extremely high talent in terms of spiritual power, which she already knew when Lin Han trained before. Correspondingly, her perception of the surrounding environment will be more sensitive, and it is no wonder that she will detect the movements of these three people after they get closer here.

"Well, there are three people coming over here, and it looks like they should be survivors, but it's not a threat, so don't worry about them."

In the end, Lin Han still decided not to care about those three people, as long as they were a little self-aware and didn't make trouble for themselves! If they take the initiative to stir up trouble at that time, then Lin Han will never show mercy!
