NOVEL NEXT chapter 115 - The Natal Spiritual Beast Kha'Zix
In the White-robed Youth's memory, when the Explosion occurred, the Brain Worm created a mental shield to protect them both.
However, the Explosion was too fierce, and the flames of the Supercharged Flame Burst also had the characteristic of eroding energy defense systems. Therefore, the Brain Worm couldn't hold on for long, and the mental shield was completely shattered.
At the critical moment of life and death, the White-robed Youth decisively used a secret technique, extracting the Brain Worm's life force and infusing it into his body, which was why he survived until the end.
Qin Tian beckoned, and several remnants were brought to his feet by the swallowing quicksand.
That was the Brain Worm's corpse. From several obvious physical characteristics, its identity could still be confirmed.
Qin Tian threw all these bodies and remnants into his Space Sack. Then, a flash of the Black Gate at his feet transported him back to the ground.
"Finally, it's done."
Qin Tian's body relaxed. The recent period of battling wits with the White-robed Youth and the investigation team had left him mentally and physically exhausted. Fortunately, he had finally resolved the major trouble and also learned some things that were very beneficial to him.
The Wen Family and Wen Chengxian were being used as pawns without even knowing it. 'It seems I still overestimated you,' Qin Tian's lips curled into a cold sneer.
The Black Gate opened continuously. Qin Tian passed through one gate after another and quickly appeared inside Mist Town.
His mental power extended outwards, and one by one, either faint or distinct biological intentions appeared in his mind.
Soul-Possessing Worms, Soul-Devouring Worms... sure enough, everyone in the entire town was controlled by the Brain Worm.
Soul-Possessing Worms and Soul-Devouring Worms both evolve from the Brain Worm's eggs. They are equivalent to the Brain Worm's Soul Imprint and obey the Brain Worm's commands.
There's no need to think; the 137 Camp is definitely the same as Mist Town.
This way, it explains why Tu Changsong and others have been constantly provoking and hating him, the acting battalion commander.
Tu Changsong's actions were most likely not out of his own will but controlled by the Brain Worm, making him unable to act freely.
At this moment, Qin Tian could completely wave his hand and order all Soul-Possessing Worms and Soul-Devouring Worms to leave their hosts.
Qin Tian was worried that if the citizens and soldiers were awakened now, the matter of hundreds of people missing from Mist Town would definitely not be kept secret.
By then, the entire Silver Gray Star would be in an uproar.
However, the Wen Family is, after all, the overlord of the continent and has the ability to suppress public opinion. At the same time, Wen Chengxian will definitely use various methods to hide what he has done and escape safely. This is certainly not what Qin Tian wants. What he wants to do is wait for Yan Qing to return, then present all the evidence and facts, and, while the Wen Family is unable to react in time, poke a hole in the sky.
Helping Beastmasters cultivate Insectoid Commanders, Brain Worms.
This crime, Wen Chengxian will never be able to wash away. A week later, a breeze swept through the dim forest, and the leaves rustled.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from the depths of the forest. A strange creature fled in panic, as if some terrifying creature was chasing it from behind.
Its body was composed of thick tree trunks, its bark rough and cracked, like countless scars etched by time. Grooves crisscrossed its surface, and dark green viscous fluid seeped from the crevices, emitting a pungent smell of rotten wood. Its limbs were twisted and deformed branches, their tips sharp as knives, extending freely. The joints were connected by flexible yet tough tree tendons, and every movement was accompanied by the creaking sound of wood rubbing.
The Wood Demon turned its head to look back and vaguely saw a black figure flying at low altitude.
"Aiya~"
The Wood Demon let out a shriek from its mouth. The weeds and vines behind it grew wildly, like intertwined long whips, entangling towards the black figure.
Rip~
A black light flashed, and the vines and weeds were cut in half.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, revealing the black figure's true form.
It was a black Mantis the size of an adult human. Its head was sharp like a wedge, its forehead covered with hard, shiny black carapace. Its deep blue vertical pupils were like cold stars, emitting a cold light that saw through everything. Its body was slender, covered with dense black scales that gleamed coldly under the light, like natural battle armor.
Behind it were a pair of black wings, with mysterious and complex patterns on them. The edges were sharp bone spurs, giving off a chilling glint. Its forelimbs were like sharp giant scythes, and its purple claws seemed poisoned, exuding a deadly aura. Its long tail was thick, its tip a sharp spike like a ferocious javelin. As it swayed, it seemed to be announcing its dignity as a top predator. Wherever it went, fear followed like a shadow.
The black Mantis flapped its wings, hovering at low altitude, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) its vertical pupils staring coldly at the Wood Demon. The next moment, its body suddenly disappeared. Immediately after, it leaped out from the shadow in front of the Wood Demon, its scythe-like forelimbs slashing diagonally downwards, like a black lightning bolt, cutting towards the Wood Demon's neck.
The Wood Demon raised its tree-like arm to block, but it was severed by the Mantis's slash.
Splatter~
The tree-like arm fell off, and thick green sap gushed out.
The Wood Demon shrieked. Dark green light shone on its body, and branches on its body grew rapidly, forming wooden spikes,
stabbing towards the black Mantis.
The Mantis flew backwards, swinging its forelimbs, cutting off all the wooden spikes in front of it.
Seeing that it hadn't taken down the Wood Demon quickly, the Mantis also grew angry. The coldness in its vertical pupils deepened. Its wings vibrated, and its body turned into a lightning bolt, flashing past the Wood Demon's side.
The Wood Demon's body stiffened. The dancing wooden spikes hung in place, then drooped powerlessly.
Splatter. A black line appeared in the middle of the Wood Demon's body. Green liquid seeped from the black line. Immediately after, its upper body tilted backwards and fell to the ground.
The Mantis stood on a branch behind the Wood Demon. The deep blue light in its vertical pupils slowly receded.
"Well done, Kha'Zix."
A figure suddenly appeared beside the Mantis, his voice carrying a tone of praise.
The Mantis turned its head, its mouthparts opening, emitting a hissing sound.
"Alright, I know you want to hunt stronger prey, but we have to take it one step at a time."
Qin Tian stroked the Mantis's head. Its carapace was smooth and cold, like a piece of iron.
Kha'Zix was the last Spirit Beast in the Beast Void Realm, passed down from the White-robed Youth's father's generation. Its talent was outstanding, and its personality was also very strange. Even though the White-robed Youth fed it with bloodline power every day, he couldn't make it submit.
Later, the White-robed Youth was annoyed by Kha'Zix's lack of cooperation, so he simply invested all resources into another Purple Demon Mantis, leaving only the food needed for Kha'Zix's survival.
Kha'Zix also had a fierce personality. It directly entered a state of slumber, sealing itself off, until Qin Tian awakened it.
Qin Tian's blood had a fatal attraction to Kha'Zix. Just one bowl of blood was enough to awaken Kha'Zix, and it willingly signed a blood pact with Qin Tian.
From then on, Qin Tian obtained his first Spirit Beast.
Since it was a Mantis, it reminded Qin Tian of his signature hero, so he named it Kha'Zix.
This week, Qin Tian continuously fed Kha'Zix with fresh blood. The Heavenly Imperial Bloodline and Blood Beast Heart Sutra accelerated Kha'Zix's growth and allowed Kha'Zix to devour the corpse of the Purple Demon Mantis.
Soon, Kha'Zix recovered from its weakened state after just waking up to its peak strength.
Not only that, but Qin Tian was also surprised to discover that Kha'Zix was gradually awakening new abilities by absorbing the power in his blood.
