Chapter 33: Evolution Begins!
Without hesitation.
When the system prompt sounded, Su Bai chose to begin the evolution.
[Ding! This time you can choose Mimetic Evolution, or you can choose to abandon Mimetic Evolution and continue with the original evolution method.]
“I choose Mimetic Evolution!”
There was no doubt about it.
Following the original method to enhance his evolution with genetic points certainly could increase Su Bai’s strength. But he believed that Mimetic Evolution would bring about far greater strength gains.
With Su Bai’s choice, all the genetic points and evolution points on his second panel were depleted.
However, this time, he didn’t see the virtual images that appeared during previous evolutions. Instead, everything went black in front of his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Mimetic Evolution, a newly emerged evolution method.
Without corresponding information, Su Bai found it difficult to speculate on the form of this evolution. The only thing he knew was that after this evolution, his strength would be further enhanced!
Inside the cave.
Looking at Su Bai lying quietly at the bottom of the cave, motionless, the small worker ant swayed its feelers dumbly.
A very faint mental wave emanated from its body.
“Rest… rest?
“Not afraid…
“I… protect…”
The feelers swayed again, and the small worker ant stared blankly at Su Bai for a while. It had grown to over half a meter in length, but compared to Su Bai, its body was still petite and exquisite as it slowly crawled to Su Bai’s side and lay down.
A few minutes later, the small worker ant lifted its head and moved slightly towards Su Bai.
After a few more minutes, the small worker ant’s body moved again.
So it went on, until the bodies of the two ants, one large and one small, were close together, and the small worker ant finally settled down contentedly.
Quietly lying next to Su Bai, its jet-black eyes stared tightly at the deep entrance of the cave, as if guarding against something.
After a long time, the faint mental wave emanated from the small worker ant’s body once again.
“Eat…
“Will… grow bigger…
“Can… protect… you…”
Dragging over a piece of magical equipment, the small worker ant glanced at Su Bai, then at the entrance of the cave. Its already sharp mandibles gently bit into the magical equipment.
—
After who knew how long, Su Bai’s consciousness finally recovered.
Bit by bit, light appeared before his eyes, and he could finally see the environment around him.
Still deep inside that cave.
Of the four Frost Wolf corpses he had left behind, only two remained, and of the three magical items, only a large two-handed sword was left, with a dozen small bite marks clearly visible on its blade.
In front of him were laid out a dozen or so fresh corpses.
There were Frost Wolves, Fire Rabbits, Lizards, and even a humanoid creature with sky-blue skin covered in rough fish scales.
The only thing missing was the small worker ant!
Could it be that a powerful monster had invaded, captured, or even… killed the small worker ant?
Panic gripped Su Bai’s heart.
Just as he was about to rush out of the cave to search for the small worker ant, a small figure slowly crawled in from outside the cave.
It was the small worker ant.
Seeing Su Bai wake up, the small worker ant was extremely excited.
It rushed to Su Bai’s side in a flash, put down the monster corpse it was holding in its mouth, and a mental wave emanated from the small worker ant’s body.
“Hunting…
“Give you… to eat… not hungry…”
Through the bond between them as master and servant, Su Bai quickly understood what the small worker ant was trying to convey.
This time, during Mimetic Evolution, he had slept for two full days.
At first, the small worker ant had stayed quietly in the cave as Su Bai instructed.
But after a day passed, the small worker ant couldn’t stay still anymore.
It had already eaten half of the four Frost Wolf corpses, and only the two-handed sword remained out of the three magical items. If it continued to eat, there would be no more food in the cave.
Perhaps due to habits from their time in the ant nest, the small worker ant was afraid that there would be no food for Su Bai after he woke up, so it hurriedly rushed out of the cave to hunt.
That’s why, when Su Bai woke up, there were a dozen fresh corpses laid out in front of him.
These were all hunted down by the small worker ant after a day of hard work.
Gradually feeling warmth in his heart, Su Bai gently patted the small worker ant, comforted it for a few moments, and then checked the gains from his evolution this time.
Firstly, his physique.
After this evolution, Su Bai’s physique had grown to a massive two meters, almost reaching one meter in height even when lying prone on the ground, showing the initial form of a colossal creature.
Secondly, there was the increase in attributes.
【Identity】: Lord of the Gloomy Forest – Su Bai
【Race】: Overlord Ant
【Template】: Warrior Attribute Template
【Level】: Level 12
【Status】: Life 4500, Mana 1500
【Attributes】: Strength 180, Agility 130, Constitution 150, Spirit 100
【Talents】: Soul Point Allocation, Devour Evolution, Adaptability
【Skills】: Sharp Claws and Teeth, Resistance Shell, Regrowth, Intermediate Poison Resistance, Intermediate Fire Resistance, Intermediate Ice Resistance, Shadow Assault, Bloodthirsty Berserk
【Genetic Points】: 0 points
【Evolution Points】: 0 points
【Skill Fragments】: None
【Soul Points】: 9 points
Strength had increased from 107 to 180, agility from 75 to 130, constitution from 80 to 150, and spirit from 50 to 100.
This evolution had brought Su Bai a whopping 248 points in attribute gains!
According to his current attribute template, it would take five levels of advancement to achieve such a huge gain in attributes!
One evolution had directly doubled his strength!
Moreover, after evolving again, all three of his resistance skills could be upgraded once more.
Spending 3 soul points, Su Bai immediately raised the levels of these three resistance skills from intermediate to advanced, further enhancing his ability to resist spells of these three attributes.
“It truly deserves to be Mimetic Evolution; the strength gained from one evolution is equivalent to the effort I put in over one or two months!”
Slightly excited in his heart, Su Bai couldn’t help but murmur.
Suddenly, his movements halted.
“Mimetic, Mimetic…
“The increase in the four attributes is just the result of evolution. Then, what about Mimetic…”
Countless pieces of information appeared in his mind, and Su Bai finally understood.
“So, this is Mimetic Evolution!
“Then…
“Come out, Second Form!”
