A nearly hundred-meter-long body, with pale, slick skin, sharply defined muscle tissue, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth, hiding an unknown length of tongue within. When the baru demon beast was younger, it appeared somewhat cute, but after two months of feeding, it has grown larger, and its appearance is now far from the word "cute."
This is a fierce, monstrous virus!
With powerful reproductive capabilities, a strong energy absorption and transformation efficiency, and even greater individual combat strength!
However, if the baru demon beast were not like this, it wouldn’t have attracted Wen Yu's favor...
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by a sound that tore through the air, the baru demon beast’s tongue shot out at lightning speed, slowing only when it reached Gul's face. This foul-smelling, slick tongue began to lick Gul's cheeks, causing Gul to chuckle.
"Alright, alright, I know you miss me. I'm back now..."
"Goo goo, goo goo~~~"
The affectionate greeting between little Ancient Demon and big Baru would send chills down the spine of any normal person, but after two months of training, Wen Yu was already used to such scenes.
The baru demon beast's dependence on its feeder is innate, but it remains to be seen what it will be like after being bonded by the contract.
Wen Yu thought about these things with a wicked sense of humor and slowly activated the Eye of the Night.
Gate of No Life (race foundation level, active skill): Distort time and space! Tear the earth apart! Forcefully create a door to the unknown! Any life form sucked into this door will endure countless hardships until the end of their life!
It’s a strange description, but essentially, it’s just a powerful offensive ability—something Wen Yu lacked.
Well, it can’t be said like that because Wen Yu didn’t know just how strong this ability was. The baru demon beast itself hadn’t used this skill, so Wen Yu had no way of knowing its performance and operation principles.
The next skill, however, was not as suspenseful as the Gate of No Life.
Deathly Suck (race foundation level, active skill): Wrapping, then absorbing. The host can use any part of their body to execute this ability. When the host's body comes into contact with the target, a mysterious power will completely "adhere" the two, making them inseparable, while the host will continuously siphon the target's life force until one of them is completely dead.
From the skill description, it can be seen that this skill is somewhat like the Star Absorption Technique. Well, combined with the baru demon beast's mouthparts, it’s quite a match.
After briefly reviewing the two skills, Gul had already sprinkled the obtained potion over the mycelium blanket. As the liquid continuously merged into the blanket, the baru demon beast seemed to have caught a whiff of food. It turned its head, extending its tongue, which suddenly forked as it shot out.
The small tongue tips quickly pierced into the mycelium blanket, accompanied by a chilling sucking sound. Through the Eye of the Night, Wen Yu could see a large amount of energy flowing from the mycelium into the baru demon beast’s body, which was successfully transformed into nutrients for the baru demon beast to grow after Wen Yu's "exploitation."
Seeing the baru demon beast grow larger once again, little Gul let out a heavy sigh of relief. He checked the "feed" reserves and looked at Wen Yu with a gleam of joy in his eyes.
"This time, it’s finally enough."
Wen Yu simply patted Gul's head and nodded with a smile.
...
After dealing with the baru demon beast's food, there were not many twists and turns in the following days.
Firstly, Wen Yu had already figured out the identity of the "internal traitor." Well, saying it like that isn’t quite right; it should be the "mysterious person." The only thing missing was their purpose. Therefore, Wen Yu no longer had the need to panic; he just quietly waited for this person to present themselves to him.
Secondly, Gul entrusted all matters big and small at the first base to "uncle number three" to handle, while he personally attended to the baru demon beast in the underground cave every day. Wen Yu also had no intention of stirring up trouble and disrupting the current 'good situation.'
