Chapter 138: Cat Transformation
Under the night, the surging insect tide brought up a fishy smell, a smell that only belonged to the alien insects.
The wind brought by the insect tide spread this smell to the people in Millstone Town.
Zhang Xiaobai could not help but say, “Wow, this is so smelly! Thank goodness I didn’t eat the skewers earlier, or I would have thrown up now.”
As he said that, he instructed his two feys. One of his fey was a mediocre defense-type fey, the Gale Mussel. It could provide other feys with a Gale Shield and had a solid physical defense. Due to its speed, the gale could cause powerful cuts through the wind blades.
His other fey was a bit peculiar. It was a fey the height of a human, which was reasonably common, but it was an uncommon Bloody Leech. How much blood did this Gold Bloody Leech usually need to absorb to be full?
Zhang Xiaobai constantly instructed the Gale Mussel to provide a Gale Shield to this Gold Bloody Leech. Then, he gave this Bloody Leech the five layers of the Firm Armor Silk Clothing from Pinru’s closet.
“I will be at the front line later. My fey has a strong attraction to the alien insects. My Gale Shield will cut the alien insects to death. Little mussel, don’t slack on the shields later, or I won’t feed you salt. I’ll let you become a freshwater mussel.”
Zhang Xiaobai had returned to his former improper self, but his words were very reliable.
Upon seeing the change in him, Xin Ying felt she had nowhere to place her fists.
At that moment, Lin Yuan and the quartet had taken over issuing commands.
The Gold fey Xin Ying had summoned was just a big, pure golden cat with a metallic luster that was slender and elegant. The big cat was more than a meter long with very sharp claws.
Xin Ying yelled, “Cat Transformation.”
The constant opening of the alien insect dimensional rift gave the Radiance Federation’s Fey Researchers more chances to constantly analyze the alien insects and eventually come up with several ways to fight them.
Rather than saying the alien insects were intelligent beings, they were a race willing to devour everything in order to keep evolving.
Low-grade alien insects were not very intelligent and were almost in a state of confusion. They only acted according to instinct. Even with the high-grade alien insects commanding, when faced with the temptation of many alien insect flesh, the low-grade alien insects would probably devour this un-struggling flesh.
Of course, even the high-grade alien insects could not restrain their obsession for evolution. This obsession was inscribed in the bones and souls of the dimensional lifeforms, like the alien insects.
The alien insect evolution came entirely from devouring flesh and absorbing the energy from the flesh.
Xin Ying’s line could even stop the Class 3 alien insects and let them gorge on the corpses.
It was because of such instincts that the people in Millstone Town could use it as a sharp sword against the alien insects.
These alien insects’ cruel instinct to evolve by devouring was one of the reasons that made them terrifying.
All alien insects with grades would probably have experienced a lot of battles on the other side of the dimensional rift and cruelly devoured their companions. Therefore, almost every alien insect with grades was an experienced executioner.
The alien insects were going to attack Millstone Town because their echolocation had helped them find out which place contained the most lives that they could devour. When facing the vast and empty periphery of the Endless Forest, there was undoubtedly the most flesh energy in Millstone Town. This was why the insect tide would flock to Millstone Town.
Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the healing-type spirit qi professionals behind him and exclaimed, “Healing-type spirit qi professionals, regardless of whether you’re Bronze or Elite, go to the back. Find an opportunity at the back to heal the injured combat-class spirit qi professionals. It’s enough for me at the front line. My fey can heal all.”
A cheer rang out in the Millstone Town. Lin Yuan’s words once again increased their morale at this critical moment.
Multi-target healing would mean that Lin Yuan could heal multiple targets at the same time and provide more chances for the people present to receive his healing.
