Chapter 2549 - 2549 Sky-Plundering Beast!
2549 Sky-Plundering Beast!
Lin Yuan knew that throughout the journey, Mexa had been communicating with the insect empress, who had stayed behind to guard their home.
Carly was currently performing numerous courtesies that did not exist in the alien insect world. Mexa had learned these from the other Samsara Realm Dictators during the past few days. It was clear that Mexa had carefully taught them all to Carly.
Lin Yuan shot a look at Mexa, and the latter immediately pulled Carly up from the ground.
Since she knew what was holding Lin Yuan’s interest, Mexa asked, “Carly, you still have some sacred blood, right? Take it out so the Lord can have a look at it!”
Carly hurriedly took out the few drops of sacred blood that she had left.
Only the insect empresses had the right to use the fluid that oozed out of the crater behind the mountain where the inheritance ground was located.
There were currently a total of 14 insect empresses.
Given that there was no set period during which the sacred blood was produced, the 14 insect empresses had no choice but to send their close subordinates to watch the crater.
They took turns harvesting the red fluid from the stone crater. Carly had been the last to harvest the fluid.
That was why Mexa had asked Carly to hand over the sacred blood to Lin Yuan. If Mexa possessed any sacred blood, she would have already handed it over to Lin Yuan during their journey over here.
From the conversation between Carly and Mexa, Lin Yuan learned the term for the red fluid that oozed out of the stone crater.
Carly took out a transparent insect sac containing red fluid from her armor.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the sacred blood. Regardless of how high of a level the sacred blood had, Lin Yuan could find out its real name from True Data.
One could usually deduce an ent.i.ty’s background and function from its real name.
Lin Yuan saw that what the alien insects called sacred blood was actually the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood.
Sky-Plundering Beast? What on earth was the Sky-Plundering Beast?
It was difficult for Lin Yuan to make an accurate conjecture based on this name.
Since the sacred blood was beneficial to the insect empresses, they consumed it daily.
Thus, Lin Yuan asked Carly and Mexa, “How does the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood help you to increase your power?”
Carly was about to reply but looked at Mexa instead.
Carly and Mexa knew the answer to Lin Yuan’s question. Given that they both wanted to earn Lin Yuan’s favor, they should be fighting over the chance to provide him with the answer.
Mexa had helped Carly in the past, and it was also Mexa who taught her how to act in front of Lin Yuan in order to leave a good impression on him. Thus, Carly wanted to defer to Mexa in such matters.
The state of internal affairs amongst the insects had functionally changed now that the alien insects had submitted to a powerful lifeform. Carly knew that she could not continue living in an environment where compet.i.tion was absent. She would definitely have to face intense compet.i.tion in the future.
It would not be a bad idea for her to find someone she could lean on. She was still an insect empress, after all. There was no reason for Mexa to turn her away.
Mexa was extremely pleased with Carly’s att.i.tude. She had willingly put herself at risk for the sake of the alien insects’ development, but this did not mean that she did not have any selfish desires of her own. She also wanted to have a stable ally in the future who would be willing to follow her lead.
As things stood, Carly was a decent choice!
Carly had not ended up disappointing her.
Mexa had already earned Lin Yuan’s trust. Lin Yuan promised her that she was the most likely candidate to be given the opportunity to reach the Afterlife Realm.
Given that Carly was willing to be loyal to her, there was no need for Mexa to fight with her over the chance to reply to Lin Yuan’s question.
Mexa had been thinking seriously about how she could gain recognition from Lin Yuan.
Eventually, she decided to show off during her conversations with him.
He took careful note of how others performed. Thus, it was likely that he paid attention to everything that she said and did.
Hence, Mexa nodded gently at Carly to signal to her to respond to Lin Yuan’s question.
Mexa used to be a leader. As a leader, she hated nothing more than those who were petty and had to best others, even in trivial matters.
If Lin Yuan noticed what she did, he would consider her generous and magnanimous.
Her action was not considered scheming against Lin Yuan. She was just trying to curry more favor with him.
Carly was excited to receive Mexa’s permission, which made her even more thankful.
“Lord, the main reason for collecting the sacred blood is not for our own usage. Although it does benefit us to some extent, we are more willing to distribute it to the female insects under us who have Cla.s.s 1 Genetic Locks.
“You should know how dangerous it is for us to increase our power. Many insects lose their lives while trying to evolve their grades. Drinking the sacred blood will be able to lower the risk we undertake when evolving our grades. If we drink enough of it, it’s possible to erase this risk completely!”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.
At that moment, he began to deduce what exactly the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood was.
Once dimensional lifeforms evolved past Cla.s.s 1, they would have to experience a trial similar to the World Cleansing.
If the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood could remove the risk of the trial, it would live up to its name!
Lin Yuan could easily fend off trials like the World Cleansing and Trial of World Creation.
However, there were still obstacles in this world that Lin Yuan could not handle on his own.
For example, if Begin Lady increased its power again and had to undergo another Heaven’s Trial, Lin Yuan would be helpless to help with only the power he currently possessed.
However, if he could feed the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood to Begin Lady, the latter would be able to safely overcome another Heaven’s Trial.
It was likely that something like this was extremely rare in the outside world!
Now that he understood the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood, he asked Mexa and Carly, “Aren’t you curious about the blood that oozes from the stone crater behind the mountain where the inheritance ground is located? It’s beneficial to you, so I’m sure you’ve tried to find out more about it.”
