In the closed underground chamber, Xiar's gaze was as calm as water as he drew the energy from the earlier bead and infused it into the corpse.
The body, which had begun to lose its vitality, slowly showed signs of life, with fingers and knees twitching slightly.
It was like the finest culture medium, allowing the parasitic Bee Egg to enjoy the best treatment and develop rapidly.
Faint cracking sounds emerged as small, finger-sized Bee Eggs began to hatch. The larvae gnawed through their shells and voraciously consumed the flesh.
After a simple Evolution adjustment and with the original genes, the newly born larvae fed primarily on blood and flesh instead of nectar.
This was somewhat similar to the wasps of his previous life, vastly expanding their food spectrum and eliminating any worries about finding food.
Hundreds of larvae hatched, treating the corpse as a source of nourishment, gnawing it into a state of disrepair.
The flesh rapidly disappeared, gradually revealing bones. In less than an hour, they had completely devoured the entire corpse.
The newly hatched larvae were only slightly stronger than ordinary Giant Stinger Bee larvae, but once they grew a bit larger, they could rival adult Giant Stinger Bees.
They needed to reach adulthood before they could transform into Venomous Stinger Bees, a process that would take about a week.
Among them, the Queen Bee was the core of the entire swarm. Xiar controlled these Venomous Stinger Bees through a mysterious connection with the Queen and ordinary Venomous Stinger Bees, which caused some delay.
It was somewhat akin to having poor mobile signal in his previous life. Xiar pondered whether he could amplify this signal transmission to minimize such delays.
Otherwise, in critical situations like before, he wouldn't be able to mobilize the Venomous Stinger Bees in time, nearly allowing that poisoned dagger to pierce Baron Bougiano's back.
If that had happened, there would have been no need for healing...
Finally, the doctors summoned from Storm Harbor arrived. Three physicians rushed over on horseback and after some treatment, managed to stabilize the spread of poison in the Baron.
Unfortunately, this toxin is too rare, like maggots burrowing deep into the marrow, leaving these physicians helpless. They can only think of ways to weaken its power rather than completely cure it.
In this case, whether he can pull through depends entirely on the physical constitution of Baron, which carries a high degree of uncertainty.
Xiar stood silently to one side, his expression unreadable, making it impossible for anyone to discern what he was thinking.
He could see clearly that the physicians' gazes were reminiscent of those doctors when his grandfather passed away in his previous life; they were just short of uttering the words "please accept my condolences and prepare for the inevitable."
"Young Master, how should we deal with those cultivators?"
After leaving the room, Marcus gritted his teeth, looking as if he wished he could devour the enemy. "If it weren't for them coming over, that assassin wouldn't have infiltrated and put Lord in such danger!"
Marcus had originally been a homeless orphan. After being taken in by the Mestlin Family, he became a guard and trained martial arts alongside Baron, fighting side by side on the battlefield.
So when the slaughter of the Barbarians ended, he did not hesitate to refuse the olive branch from the lord's manor and insisted on following Baron back to this territory.
"Without them, the assassin would have found another way to disguise himself as someone else. However, they ultimately cannot escape their involvement. They must be praying that my father is safe; otherwise... I’ll find a reason to support a rebellion and wipe out the Monastery."
Xiar spoke in a calm tone as he turned to leave. "I’m going out for a while. Since those people dared to target my father, they should pay some price."
"Young Master, should I send someone with you?" Marcus called after him.
"No need. Ordinary people are too weak; sending anyone would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths. I can handle this alone."
Watching him walk away, Marcus suddenly felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.
The young master was becoming increasingly mysterious and frightening, making it impossible for him to protect him any longer.
But at least he had grown up.
As the sun set, a black steed came to a stop near a secluded valley.
This was Misty Valley, located in the northern part of Storm Harbor, a place perpetually shrouded in fog, known as Misty Valley.
The nearby villagers whispered tales of terrifying monsters that had devoured one life after another, causing everyone to steer clear of the area.
The long-unbothered land of death welcomed a visitor: handsome, with wine-red shoulder-length hair and cold light blue eyes. A snow-white fox rested on his shoulder.
The white fox leaned against his head, seemingly dozing off, only opening its eyes groggily when they came to a halt.
The visitor casually dismounted and tied the horse to a tree.
Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed behind him as a creature resembling a giant lizard, measuring five meters in length, wobbled its tail and rushed over.
Xiar reached out to stroke the giant lizard's head, which nuzzled against his hand in a playful manner, creating an oddly mismatched scene.
Suddenly, he turned his gaze toward the nearby forest, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "Oh, it seems there are some who have come to greet me."
Buzz!
A swarm of enormous Venomous Stinger Bees burst forth from his backpack, their wings buzzing as they darted toward the source of the noise.
There was a sudden crack of breaking branches followed by a sharp scream, and then silence fell over the area.
The Venomous Stinger Bees returned to him, and at the same time, a faint white mist flowed in silently, merging into his brow.
"Hey, there's actually Evolution Points?"
Xiar looked at the increased 1 point of Evolution Points with some surprise. Curiously, he walked over to take a look and found a man in green lying there, next to him was a gray poisonous snake.
Both the man's face and the snake's head were marked with venomous stingers, reminding him once again of the power of the Venomous Stinger Bee. "I didn't expect that hunting enemies with totems could also yield Evolution Points. This is quite a nice discovery."
With this in mind, once he had more totems in the future, he could let them hunt freely nearby to gather a large amount of Evolution Points, which he could then use to facilitate their Evolution, allowing for exponential growth.
However, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip. He placed Firefly on the ground, using its extraordinary sense of smell to search for any nearby Source Power or Radiation Creatures.
This was one of the three branches stationed by that organization in Farn County. Currently, there should be no Second-Level Spirit Master stationed here, which was why he dared to come alone.
Before entering, though, Xiar needed to hunt some Radiation Monsters around to accumulate some Evolution Points and attempt to make Firefly Evolve. If he encountered a Second-Level Spirit Master, he would be able to retreat calmly.
As long as Firefly completed its Evolution, he would also be able to advance to Secondary.
A Second-Level Spirit Master could master more Spirit Techniques, significantly enhancing the speed and strength of his totems, making them even more invincible!
Moreover, compared to being a First Level, the greatest advantage after promotion was a more proficient grasp of Source Power. When releasing Spirit Techniques, they could draw upon distant energy as a catalyst, mobilizing some of the surrounding Source Power, thereby reducing the consumption of Source Crystals by more than half!
What he needed most right now was Source Crystals...
