Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 856 Spring Slime Slugs And Chimeric Adaptation Activates



"Ugh! So sticky…" Lin Wu complained while pulling off globs of a slimy fluid that stretched for quite a bit.

Around him several corpses could be seen lying around. All of them were beast corpses and were hard to recognize with how much they had been beaten up by Lin Wu. Most were turned into flesh chunks and bone fragments, while some still had half their bodies intact.

~sigh~

"At least I have another bloodline to consume now." Lin Wu muttered as he sucked in all the corpses.

~SWOOSH~

Air was sucked into his mouth like a vacuum as Lin Wu breathed in hard.

~SLICK~

~smack~

The various fleshy bits and blood were quickly sucked into his mouth while making icky sounds which Lin Wu just ignored. But once he was done, he felt his body quickly digesting it all and absorbing it.

~DING~

RAW BLOODLINE DATA OBTAINED: Spring Slime Slug

INFO: Spring Slime Slugs are beasts that are known for their slimy secretions that they use to capture their prey and defend. They are found in the dense forests of the south and can kill beasts many times stronger than them by overwhelming them with their numbers. Their slime is resistant to physical strain, heat, cold and even corrosive substances.

The slime of a Dao Shell realm Spring Slime Slug can even trap a Dao Treading realm cultivator whether it be a beast or human. Spring Slime Slugs are thus considered to be a menace whenever they make nests and are almost always avoided.

These were the beasts that Lin Wu had encounter when he had come out of the ground to take a look. He had been traveling for nearly two days now and had been scanning the entire area, enriching the system's data banks. If he wanted to he could have rushed his way to Tiena city, but he didn't want to do that.

After all one of the goals was to strengthen the avatar as well and he could do that while killing some beasts in the way.

Lin Wu had been doing that exactly since he could also trigger the new innate skill of the Avatar, Chimeric Adaptation and gain even greater powers. He stopped and killed the beasts that he found to be interesting and so far had killed eight different kinds of them.

He also discovered that if the beasts were too weak, the effect of his new innate skill was not activated. They needed to be at a certain level and he also needed to consume several of them for the innate skill to work. And these Spring Slime Slugs were the ninth beast that he had stopped to kill.

But they were also the most bothersome. And it wasn't because they were strong, but rather because of their strange slime. Lin Wu's skills didn't work on the sticky slime and even raw strength was useless.

He could only use radiation to directly wear it down on a molecular level and then get rid of it.

'This is really something that can restrain me if there is enough quantity of it. Good that I encountered it now.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Once the Raw bloodline data was obtained, Lin Wu felt his body stirring with a new power.

"Looks like this is it." Lin Wu said as he closed his eyes and sensed the new skill he had obtained.

~huu~

Then he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

~SPLAT~

In the next moment, he spat out a mass of greenish white slime that spread all over the trees and ground in the front. It spread like a net and soon started to shrink back, just like a spring that had been released.

~CRACK~ ~CRACK~

The trees that were stuck by the slime were directly uprooted from the ground and pulled towards the center of the slime, clumping together.

"Ooo… this is nice!" Lin Wu said having used the new skill for the first time.

~DING~

"Alright! The first one that actually trigged it all the way to being updated!" Lin Wu was excited.

Even after eating eight different kinds of beasts, Lin Wu hadn't seen an update. While he could feel Chimeric Adaption working, it was mostly the passive improvement. But consuming the Spring Slime Slugs had fully added an entire sub skill to Chimeric Organogenesis!

It was an euphoric feeling to Lin Wu, which he didn't know if it was natural or was coming from the new bloodline itself.

'It is rejoicing… the bloodline itself is happy?' Lin Wu found it rather unique.

The only time he had felt such a 'emotional' response was from the unknown bloodline of his main body before.

"If it can act like this then it is truly strong…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

With the new skill of slime generation added, Lin Wu decided to make some of his own upgrades.

"Just spitting it out like the Spring Slime Slugs is too crude. I can do way better than that." Lin Wu said to himself as he triggered the innate skill once again.

But this time his body reacted differently. The scales around his mouth trembled before shifting. They bulged out before splitting apart entirely and then protruded outwards, finally turning into two tubes.

The tubes were covered with some viscous fluid which soon dried up and a proper tube was made.

~SPLOOSH~

Then as if Lin Wu's mouth had hoses attached, two white streams of slime shot out!
