Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

The method of advancement for the Faceless is through the consumption of the flesh and blood of mutated beasts.
And through Wen Yu's simple experiment just now, he was able to draw a conclusion.
Most of the magic crystals contain the Essence of Flesh and Blood.
However, there’s one strange point. For instance, the one-eyed and Star can extract evolution energy from the flesh and blood of lower-level creatures, but they cannot extract evolution energy from lower-level magic crystals.
It’s possible that there are components in the magic crystals that Wen Yu himself is unaware of, or perhaps it’s a secret!
These things are destined to yield no results for Wen Yu himself; in fact, even the military has not fully clarified what exactly magic crystals are.
But this does not prevent Wen Yu from maximizing his benefits!
...
Upon hearing Wen Yu’s voice, the one-eyed and Star immediately raised their heads, looking at Wen Yu with confusion.
Just a moment ago, the two spirit pets were engrossed in their meal and had not noticed the experiment Wen Yu conducted.
Looking at the small portion of blood still left on the ground, Wen Yu's heart ached.
“How much magic crystal and points have been wasted!”
...
Commanding the Faceless to dismiss its replication state and return to its dough-like shape, Wen Yu held the Faceless in his hand while instructing the one-eyed and Star to get to work!
The so-called work was to pile the remaining flesh and blood on the ground into a fixed location!
The one-eyed and Star appeared reluctant, but under Wen Yu's push with magic crystals, they quickly sprang into action.
The two massive tier 4 mutated beasts lifted their four legs and went to work!
After a while, a smelly mountain of flesh appeared before Wen Yu.
“The magic crystals must be all collected, right?”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, the one-eyed and Star obediently squatted in front of Wen Yu, their large heads nodding up and down incessantly.
“All for you!”
Wen Yu generously waved his hand, causing the one-eyed and Star to let out a couple of excited screeches!
Wen Yu ignored the one-eyed and Star’s ruckus, as well as the little soul beast that kept bumping against his cheek, and directly placed the Faceless on top of the mountain of flesh.
Wen Yu had never fed the Faceless before, so he naturally did not know how it ate.
Poor Faceless, ever since it followed Wen Yu, it had eaten nothing but dust!
At this moment, upon encountering a massive amount of flesh, the Faceless immediately began to devour it, and it was the first time Wen Yu saw the Faceless’s eating method.
Countless white threads slowly split from the Faceless's body and then plunged directly into the flesh mountain below.
The white threads, resembling straws, continuously drew nutrition from the mountain of flesh and transported it into the Faceless's body!
A large amount of Essence of Flesh and Blood entered the Faceless's body, staining its originally white body gray.
As the Faceless's “eating” speed increased, before long, the entire mountain of flesh had disappeared!
Moreover, the Faceless had grown noticeably larger.
After a few seconds, the Faceless’s size slowly shrank, while the gray essence of flesh and blood within its body was gradually assimilated, finally returning to a ball of white.
Wen Yu lifted the Faceless, rubbing it up and down, but after a while, he shook his head.
“There’s simply no discernible change...”
This was also the Faceless's drawback; it lacked intelligence and was extremely difficult to communicate with, making it impossible for Wen Yu to know the Faceless’s advancement progress.
Instructing the one-eyed and Star to shrink their bodies, Wen Yu took out a communicator from his Spatial Ring. After connecting to the channel, he immediately spoke.
“Does the military have high-level bipedal lizard tissue?”
A frantic voice quickly transmitted back from the other end.
“Of course, there are tier 4 and tier 5!”
These were collected by the military from the battlefield after missile strikes, meant to study the characteristics of this race, as well as their body composition or genomes.
