Chapter 313: The Swelling Mouth of Relinquish

Lin Yuan took a deep breath while he looked at Red Thorn, which had reached Legend quality and was just one step away from becoming a Fantasy Breed.

If Lin Yuan was most worried about one of his many contracted feys, it would definitely be Red Thorn. He was worried for Red Thorn as it could only consume flesh and blood to evolve, and not even a true Creation Master could do anything. Let alone the fact that Lin Yuan had constantly been holding back Red Thorn at the Bronze grade. Actually, Lin Yuan was already prepared to keep Red Thorn at the Bronze grade as long as it could reach Fantasy Breed first.

But now that Red Thorn had already reached the Legend quality, it meant that it had overcome the hardest obstacle. Upon sensing Red Thorn’s intimate feelings, Lin Yuan let out a smile and revealed a set of white teeth.

He extended his hand to hold Red Thorn’s vine and said, “Red Thorn, I didn’t expect you to actually upgrade to a Fantasy Breed before Genius.”

According to Lin Yuan’s calculations, he had been pushing back the schedule for Red Thorn to upgrade into a Fantasy Breed. In fact, Lin Yuan felt that Morbius was probably going to upgrade into a Fantasy Breed before Red Thorn.

Red Thorn might not understand Lin Yuan’s words, but it could sense the meaning. It was swaying its vines and looked to be very happy.

Lin Yuan immediately summoned the Willpower Rune that contained newborn life within destruction. He had already decided beforehand, and the Willpower Rune was now covered in a layer of green light.

The green color exuded indescribable willpower, and it felt as though all things came to an end just to have a better beginning.

Lin Yuan held his breath and sent this Willpower Rune toward Red Thorn at lightning speed.

Red Thorn opened its Mouth of Relinquish voluntarily and welcomed the Willpower Rune, consuming it.

At that moment, Lin Yuan gave Red Thorn the command to evolve toward the third option. However, Lin Yuan received another request from Red Thorn this time. The request was different from before.

Previously, Red Thorn was requesting the evolution direction, but now, it was requesting for Lin Yuan to add on another ability or function.

It was just the same as when Red Thorn had hatched from the Source Seed and given Lin Yuan’s request to weaken its roots. That’s why Red Thorn wouldn’t have to fix itself into the soil during combat, allowing it to move around using its vines, providing mobility.

According to Red Thorn’s request, Lin Yuan had decided on the evolutionary path to consume flesh and blood, allowing Red Thorn to become a predatory plant.

It was also why Red Thorn would grow the Mouth of Relinquish and also be able to store so many extreme corrosive fluids in the various corrosive cavities. As a result, it had allowed the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to set Red Thorn as its base.

Now that Red Thorn was requesting to add on a function, it meant that Red Thorn would reach Silver when it became a Fantasy Breed lifeform. It was due to all the consumption of flesh and blood from the demon wave.

Red Thorn would only be able to add on a function when it was progressing to the next grade.

The weakening of roots during Normal, the consumption of flesh and blood during Elite, the increase of digestion speed during Bronze…

Therefore, for the new function at Silver, Lin Yuan set the function of energy storage.

Once Lin Yuan gave the command, Red Thorn immediately started to evolve into a Fantasy Breed.

However, Red Thorn’s evolution method gave a shock to Lin Yuan.

Firstly, all of its vines—be it those thick vines used to protect the ortet or those thorn vines to deal damage—were sent into the Mouth of Relinquish.

All of the vines turned into the most fundamental energy inside the Mouth of Relinquish. However, this was merely the beginning.

Immediately after, all twelve of those charming flower-like corrosive cavities were also sent into the Mouth of Relinquish. Even the spore cavity that was growing at the top of Red Thorn had withdrawn into the Mouth of Relinquish and was digested.

At present, Red Thorn’s appearance was only left with sharp teeth on the outside and the Mouth of Relinquish, which was filled with horrific corrosive fluid.

All of a sudden, the Mouth of Relinquish lit up with green luster. The color was the same as the Willpower Rune that was comprehended from the destruction that produced newborn life.

At that moment, Red Thorn underwent a drastic transformation again.

The Mouth of Relinquish started swelling.

Previously, the Mouth of Relinquish was only a meter in height and was like an ellipsoid. But now, the Mouth of Relinquish was expanding horizontally and had turned into a pumpkin shape.

The Mouth of Relinquish suddenly swelled up and occupied the majority of the space in the tree hole.

As of now, the Mouth of Relinquish was two meters in height and near to three meters in width.

The Mouth of Relinquish’s opening was like a small cherry mouth previously. It might be revealing some sharp teeth, but most of the teeth were hidden within. But now, the opening on the Mouth of Relinquish had transformed from a cherry mouth into a red basin.

Once the Mouth of Relinquish opened up its mouth, it would be able to swallow a large-sized beast.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan realized that the Mouth of Relinquish had a total of 18 giant mouths, and each of them grew a tongue that was like the spiky vine.

However, Lin Yuan could feel that this spiky tongue wasn’t to grab flesh and pull it into the mouth. It was actually to help with digestion.

Subsequently, the Mouth of Relinquish was flashing with energy and immediately bloomed a flesh-like flower that had a three-meter diameter.

This flesh-like flower was the spore cavity that was newly grown by Red Thorn.

Just from the size of this spore cavity, it was enough to see that Red Thorn’s exclusive skill, Spore Growth, had received a great enhancement.

If the flesh-like flower released spores, it would instantly cover a huge surface area now.

Immediately after, the Mouth of Relinquish grew out twelve sack-like plants. Each of them bloomed with a red flower that was close to one meter in diameter.

However, according to what Lin Yuan saw from Red Thorn’s evolution, these large flowers didn’t have any practical function and were merely for aesthetic purposes.

Previously, Red Thorn’s corrosive cavities were offensive capabilities, but now they were removed. Instead, it increased the amount of storage for the corrosive fluids.

The twelve giant sack-like plants were filled with concentrated corrosive fluids.
