Chapter 1334: Red Thorn’s Banquet
Liu Jie was not jealous that Lin Yuan had two six-winged fairies. Rather, he was afraid that a day would come when he would fall so far behind Lin Yuan that he could not even see Lin Yuan anymore.
As Lin Yuan’s retainer, this thought gripped his heart with apprehension.
Red Thorn had reached Silver II/Fantasy V.
Some time had pa.s.sed since Red Thorn consumed the strange seed; during this time, Red Thorn had evolved by a small grade.
Lin Yuan no longer needed to agonize over ways to evolve Red Thorn’s quality. However, the problem of its slow increase in power had not changed.
Ever since Red Thorn’s Mouth of Relinquish consumed the two strange seeds and evolved its consumption and digestive abilities, it could essentially consume anything in the world. The three Mouths of Relinquish would even be able to completely digest metal and strengthen the brutal vine ramets.
Thus, this whale fall could not only function as a banquet for the creatures living in the sea but Red Thorn as well.
If Red Thorn consumed the giant whales, Lin Yuan could not imagine what grade it would evolve to.
As he watched the quickly decomposing giant whales and the floating aquatic plants and lifeforms that were spreading through the sea, he hastily instructed the coquettish Red Thorn, “Red Thorn, after consuming the bodies of so many water world dimensional lifeforms, you must be able to breathe underwater very well now. Try to see if you can take root 1,000 meters below the sea’s surface. If it’s possible, produce as many brutal vine ramets as possible to wrap around the whale fall.”

Lin Yuan prepared to release Red Thorn’s true body from within the Spirit Lock spatial zone. But before he could do so, Red Thorn waved its hand, and its true body started to quickly wither in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
As the flesh energy pulsed around Red Thorn, its withered true body in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was reproduced.
Red Thorn’s face lit up with delight.
Since it had been nurtured by Lin Yuan ever since it was young, its only love besides Lin Yuan was eating.
When Red Thorn first appeared, it had noticed the whale fall while cuddling up to Lin Yuan. However, it had become smarter than even some spirit qi professionals and was able to control its urges. As such, it no longer whined uncontrollably over every small piece of flesh.
However, this did not mean that Red Thorn did not hunger for the whale fall.
Since Lin Yuan had asked it to surround the whale fall, it proved its place in Lin Yuan’s heart. This thought filled Red Thorn with elation.
When Red Thorn summoned its true body, the Mother of Bloodbath and Liu Jie finally recognized Red Thorn.
Previously, Liu Jie had only been shocked by Red Thorn’s six wings. But now, the Mother of Bloodbath’s jaw dropped, and it could only blink in astoundment.
The Mother of Bloodbath had seen Lin Yuan summon Red Thorn in Millstone Town. At that time, Red Thorn was a source-type plant that had only just evolved to Bronze grade.
But now, Red Thorn had transformed to the point that the Mother of Bloodbath no longer recognized it.
Putting aside the question of how a source-type plant had transformed into a six-winged lifeform, the Mother of Bloodbath could not figure out how the Silver II Red Thorn had reached Fantasy V.
After getting over its shock, it could not help but gasp to itself.
It’s such a blessing to be one of Lin Yuan’s feys!
After Red Thorn was summoned, it led the three Mouths of Relinquish to the bottom of the sea.
At that moment, Lin Yuan saw the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee fly out of one of the Mouths of Relinquish.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was an avian-type insect and was not equipped to move through water. Red Thorn was completely ignoring the possible death of its devoted fan!

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee desperately tried to float up toward the surface of the sea.
When Lin Yuan saw this, he waved his hand towards the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee and sent it to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Currently, Red Thorn had reached the center of the whale fall.
When Red Thorn landed on the bottom of the sea, the impact kicked up the sand on the seabed and caused the seawater to swirl around.
The Eyes of Relinquish on Red Thorn’s three Mouths of Relinquish blinked wildly. Then Red Thorn digested the Eyes of Relinquish one by one.
The spore cavities in the three Mouths of Relinquish spat out a large number of spores. These spores were trapped in the mud and sand and were carried away. When the spores reached the ground, Red Thorn ordered them to take root rapidly.
After taking root, the spores did not immediately grow the brutal vine ramets. Instead, they became more small spore cavities.
It was evident that Red Thorn had specially treated these spores.
This was the first step that Red Thorn was taking in order to enjoy the banquet.
The spore cavities grew rapidly and spewed spores once they matured. This depleted the energy in the spore cavities, and they started to wither.
The tens of thousands of spores stained the bottom of the sea a blood-red.
As the spore cavities were able to spew the spores a great distance away, Lin Yuan looked down and saw that the red spores had completely covered the whale fall.
The spores took root and brutal vine ramets sprouted from the bottom of the sea.
The brutal vine ramets wrapped around the corpses of the giant whales like tentacles and ripped away the thick layers of flesh and rotting flesh.
After the brutal vine ramets consumed and digested the fat and skin, the vitality that was released enabled the brutal vine ramets to grow swiftly. Soon, the brutal vine ramets grew from a few meters long to tens of meters long.
The length of the brutal vine ramets caused Lin Yuan to be increasingly appalled by Red Thorn’s ability to fight underwater.
With sufficient vitality, Red Thorn would be able to grow brutal vine ramets that grew from the bottom to the surface of the sea.
These brutal vine ramets were extremely agile, and they soon found the weakest parts of the giant whale corpses.
As the brutal vine ramets slithered through the cracks in the giant whales’ bones, they started to dig into their feast.
