65. Good boy
Xu Zhi's first reaction after realizing that her current attack seemed to be difficult to kill this man: run.
It was also at the moment when she decisively turned around and ran towards the door of the stairwell that the xenomorph jumped out of her pocket and quickly crawled in the direction of the man under Xu Zhi's surprised gaze.
Xu Zhi didn't even have time to ask what it wanted to do, but he saw that the xenomorph pounced straight on the man's chest, and then burrowed into the other party's heart like a parasite, and several tentacles grew out of his body like dead wood, piercing the man's boiling heart and began to devour his blood and energy.
Under the effect of the [Secret Eye], Xu Zhi clearly saw that the [Cup] attribute energy and blood that flowed into the man's body through the ritual were constantly being devoured by the little xenomorph, it was like a parasitic monster growing by devouring the host's flesh and blood, and the man was also aware of this, and reached out directly into his heart to try to pull out the greedy xenomorph.
The xenomorph that is devouring flesh and energy seems to be using all its strength to eat, and can only rely on its tentacles to hold itself hard at the heart to resist the man's pull, but even so, it is slowly being pulled out of the heart.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi immediately ordered Xiao Zhen: "Break its hand!" โ
She didn't know what the little xenos were crazy about, but she was naturally going to help it right now.
Xu Zhi did not rush over, but only ordered Xiao Zhen to assist from the side, and she herself had been standing at the top of the stairs, planning to run away directly if something was wrong.
And when she took out the game console, she found that the evolution points of the xenos were actually rising.
It's like taking some perfect tonic, and in a while, the kung fu has been upgraded from level 18 to level 20, and it hasn't stopped.
Xu Zhi paid attention to the battle situation in front of him while looking at the prompts that kept popping up on the game screen.
[Note, your Clan's restlessness level increases, please make sure it's around you!] ใ
[Congratulations, your fourth clan has reached level 20, unlocked the fifth clan vacancy, and you can go to the clan selection interface to draw your fifth clan.] ใ
[Since you have cultivated four Clans to level 20 and enter the Transformation Period, the initial life level of the Clans you can choose has increased. ใ
[Your clan xenomorph has entered the metamorphosis period, and all aspects of the clan will enter a period of rapid growth, and when the evolution level reaches level 10, the clan will complete the transformation, break through the upper limit, and become a higher-level lifeform. ใ
[The need for transcendent energy for the clan entering the transformation period has increased, please provide it with more cores with suitable attributes.] ใ
ใAttention! Your family's evolutionary path has changed! Please feed it the food it needs in time and don't let it leave your side! Keep it sane! ใ
Several huge exclamation points reminded Xu Zhi of the importance of the matter.
Xu Zhi didn't even have time to look at the upgraded attributes of the xenomorphs, so he could only stare at the other party, and then he saw a magical scene.
At the moment when the game prompted the family to break through level 20, as if a seed had taken root and sprouted, several thin black dead branches "broke through the ground" from the man's chest, and as it continued to absorb "nutrients", the thin branches also grew slowly, as if a cluster of bushes that were not too lush grew on the man's chest.
And the man's face became more and more pale, and he even fell to his knees uncontrollably.
Xu Zhi didn't know what exactly the ceremony he was preparing was for, but obviously, all of them were made wedding dresses for others at this moment.
Under the effect of [Voyeur's Pupil], Xu Zhi could clearly see that the red blood lines extending from the ritual formation began to break one by one, perhaps because the energy was exhausted, or, this ritual was not perfect, after all, if she remembered correctly, the number of people used for the launching ceremony was insufficient, and the woman also reminded the man that the ceremony might fail.
But in any case, the incident seems to have come to an end.
After the blood line linking the man's body to the ritual was completely broken, the red light that rushed to the sky suddenly disappeared, and the distorted viscous spiritual pollution that had always existed in the air also dissipated, and all that was left was the man's pale corpse and a flower made of black dead branches that bloomed on his chest.
Xu Zhi clicked on the attribute map of the xenomorph at this time:
[Clan: Xenomorph Lv21.]
Spirit: 35
Flesh: 4800
Attribute: Cup
Traits: Bloodlust Lv8, Stealth Lv6, Dexterity Lv6, Strength Lv6, Pain Lv8, Restlessness Lv5, Evolution Lv3
Special Ability: Parasitic Seedใ
What catches your eye is the level 5 restlessness, the level 3 evolution, and the extra special abilities.
[Congratulations, your family awakens a special ability: Parasitic Seed]
[Parasitic seeds: Dependents can produce fruits and turn into parasitic seeds to burrow into the body of living beings, and after activation, they will absorb the flesh and blood of living organisms and extraordinary energy to feed the seeds to grow, and each seed can become a xenomorph with equivalent ability after absorbing all the energy of the host, driven by the parasitic master.
The higher the transcendent level of the family, the more fruits can be produced, and the more difficult it is to detect the parasitic seeds of evolution. ใ
This ability... Should it be said that it is worthy of the [cup] attribute of the family?
It seemed that a crisis had been easily resolved, but Xu Zhi did not relax her vigilance, she looked up at the man's corpse, the black flower composed of the xenomorph body on her chest suddenly moved, and then, it attacked towards Xiao Zhen in the air not far from it!
Xu Zhi's pupils shrank, and she knew that this matter was not over, [Restlessness] reached the fifth level, and this xenomorph seemed to be a bit of a friend and foe.
Xiao Zhen hit it directly into the air, so that this sudden sneak attack missed, and Xu Zhi's mind was also at this moment when heaven and man were fighting, one side felt that it should leave here immediately, this xenomorph obviously lost his mind, and on the other hand, he thought of the game's reminder to let the xenomorph not leave her side.
If she's gone now, there's no doubt that this xenomorph might be lost.
Xu Zhi didn't want to lose a powerful clan like this.
But she couldn't be 100% sure that she was currently in a state of [restlessness], and that the xenomorphs, who were already in a bad mind, would not be able to hurt her.
"Let's give it a try."
The girl made up her mind not to believe in this xenomorph, but to trust the narration of the game.
She waved her hand for Xiao Zhen to fly to her, and then tentatively took two steps towards the xenomorph who had just crawled out of the man's chest.
The other party immediately noticed her actions, and several spikes stretched out in the direction of Xu Zhi, accompanied by a hoarse and unpleasant scream, the threat was quite obvious, as if Xu Zhi took a few more steps towards it, and it was about to attack.
Because the level of [Restlessness] was too high, Xu Zhi couldn't tell what the little alien was thinking now, and its thoughts were only chaotic, and there was no reason to speak of.
Even though he was threatened, Xu Zhi still had the courage to take a few more steps towards it.
The reason is very simple, when the other party attacked Xiao Zhen, it was a merciless sneak attack, but when facing her, he just threatened her not to approach, and this inexplicable double-standard attitude made Xu Zhi's courage bigger.
Sure enough, as she approached step by step, the other party's screaming and hideous tentacles kept warning it not to approach, but they never really made a move on Xu Zhi.
Even, when Xu Zhi was about to walk in front of it, he took a few steps back slightly.
"Don't move!" Xu Zhi scolded, so the xenomorph who seemed to be very powerful but quietly retreated froze in vain, Xu Zhi could feel that it didn't understand his words, its thoughts were still in chaos, this xenomorph was just simple, and made an almost instinctive response to her voice and reprimand.
"Good boy." Xu Zhi thought about the [Restless Lv5] on the panel, and looked at the fringed xenomorph in front of him who was motionless, smiled and praised, and then took out a Tang knife and cut his palm, and blood flowed out of the wound.
"It's a reward, drink it."
