Chapter 381 Mammoth Home and Digester

Secondary Nature—Mammoth Home!

Mud Vipers were extremely territorial in nature. Though being Beginner Iron Grade Pranic Beasts, frightened by powerful Pranic Beasts, when their nests get damaged, they charge at the enemy with reckless abandon.

It was why the First Minor Crisis happened, even though Mud Vipers are afraid of Empyrean Tusks the most among all Pranic Beasts.

Bone Vipers were created from them, with their Nest being replaced with the Empyrean Tusk's body. Basically, the Empyrean Tusk was their home, so they would do everything in their power to preserve their home.

And if the slightest harm were to come to their home, they would charge out and target the cause. By harnessing their genetic desire to protect their homes at all costs and by linking it to their Prana, Grehha managed to create their Secondary Nature.

If a Bone Viper were to hatch in the biome of the 1st Empyrean Tusk, then it could consider the 1st Empyrean Tusk its home. It would live, propagate, and die in its home. The effects of its Secondary Nature allowed the Empyrean Tusk to actually treat Bone Vipers as part of its immune system.

In the human body, white blood cells alone don't form the immune system. There are also lymphocytes and many others. All combined form the human body's immune system, with each geared towards fighting different enemies.

At present, in Sumatra Continent, the Empyrean Tusks had one enemy they were awfully geared to face and sustained repeated defeats. That was the Boar King. Grehha had read the end of Sumatra Chronicles.

The strength displayed by the Boar King there was honestly on a whole other level. He was using more than a dozen Internal Inertial Gravity, unleashing earth-shattering might merely through the flaps of his eyelids. There was a slight exaggeration, but only slightly. Even his eyelid flaps generated powerful gusts of wind.

That was how broken he gets towards the endgame. Therefore, Grehha had been thinking about it since his reader days. The Empyrean Tusks sustain significant losses during the Third Major Disaster, which makes them incapable of facing the Boar King in the Fourth Major Disaster.

Moreover, half the Mammoth Clan dies in the Second Major Disaster, causing them to weaken significantly. Therefore, there might be someone to take the place of the Mammoth Clan and fight on its behalf. They should also be able to help the Empyrean Tusks recover from damage and get back on track as soon as possible.n-.o-(v-(e/(l/-b-)1(/n

The answer Grehha arrived at was the Bone Viper.

Back when Grehha arrived at Inala's house and knew the latter had chosen to become a Zinger, he was honestly relieved. Because, both had opted for swarm tactics, which seemed to be the only realistic option to counter the Boar King.

Grehha improved upon that aspect to create the Tertiary Nature, through which the Bone Viper could gather and prepare resources. By mixing the secreted toxins into the resources, they'll soften it and transform it into a sludge that could be digested easily by the Empyrean Tusk.

That was the Tertiary Nature's function. Basically, through it, Empyrean Tusks could digest everything faster and replenish their strength rapidly.

The Bone Vipers could flood out of the Empyrean Tusk's body when necessary, consume everything in their path, and store in their stomachs after mixing them with their toxins. Then, they would return to the Empyrean Tusk's stomach biome and barf out everything.

This barfed substance would be easily digestible for the Empyrean Tusk. In situations similar to their current state of being, Bone Vipers would be of tremendous use.

Adding them to the Empyrean Tusk wouldn't strain the resources generated in its body. Rather, the Bone Vipers could actively participate in the resource collection. It was this reason that caused the Mammoth Elders to face an identity crisis.

However, after a moment of thought, they calmed down, understanding that they—Mammoth Clansmen—wouldn't be replaced, since the upper end of the fighting strength still depended on them.

And unlike the Bone Vipers, they were sentient beings, capable of a variety of things, including birthing new Empyrean Tusks.

"Chief," One of the Mammoth Elders stared at Raaha and frowned, "You made us argue needlessly."

"Had you told us about the Bone Vipers' Secondary Nature, we would have accepted it without raising a fuss." He continued, "They too would worship our Deity. So, they align with our beliefs."

"Let's vote." The Mammoth Elder raised his hand, "Do we introduce Bone Vipers in the bodies of our Deities?"

There was a unanimous acceptance as everyone raised their hands in response, causing Grehha to heave a deep breath in relief. 'Thank goodness.'

Raaha observed Grehha's expression and fell deep in thought, 'It seems there's more to this than I thought.'

'As expected, I need to meet up with Inala and Gannala.'
