Chapter 216: Feeding the Mud Fruit Clone

He listened carefully, but there was no movement. He didn’t know if Liu Lanqing was careful not to attack or if he had run further away.

Lin Yan simply climbed up the tree trunk and returned to the cave covered by the tree trunk. He sat cross-legged and took out the bottle of blood droplets. He dripped a drop on his finger.

Green-blue blood was extremely rare. It was unknown how the structure was different from human blood cells.

Lin Yan activated his Formless True Self special effect, and a strange power instantly seeped into the green-blue blood. While establis.h.i.+ng a connection with Lin Yan, it also caused its internal structure to change drastically.

About a minute later, a greenish-blue living creature the size of a drop of blood appeared on Lin Yan’s finger.

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t his blood essence, it would be much more difficult to create the Formless Clone, and the consumption would be much greater.

Lin Yan had previously tested that the form of the Formless Clone would be shaped according to the owner of the blood essence he used.

In other words, the clone he created would be exactly the same as the source of the blood essence.

Using the clone of the Mud Fruit would also create the true shape of the Mud Fruit.

The slug-like worm on his fingertip was probably the true form of the Mud Fruit.

Lin Yan focused and felt his connection with the greenish-blue slug in front of him. He slowly controlled this worm and wriggled his body.

Compared to controlling his clone, this was more than a hundred times harder.

It was like a person who had been walking on two legs was suddenly stuffed into a legless worm. He could not even control the most basic movements.

This was also the reason why Lin Yan didn’t use the blood essence of others to create a clone.

Even if the clone was created, it would be exactly the same as the person that the blood essence came from. It was equivalent to being able to understand all the details and weaknesses of a person without any blind spots.

However, firstly, all the clones were blank. They did not have any martial arts cultivation or Force Features.

Secondly, he was too unfamiliar with controlling such a clone!

It required a large amount of time to adapt and control. It was far inferior to his smooth control of his body.

If he used his clone to perfect a secret martial art in fifteen minutes, it would take at least a month or two for other people’s clones to do the same thing.

If there was a powerful enemy in the future that he could not defeat, he could use this method to find flaws. Otherwise, creating other people’s clones was completely strenuous and unrewarding.

On the other hand, the clone of this Mud Fruit might have a magical use.

In his previous actions, he had already seen that these Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches avoided the ripe Mud Fruits as if they were natural enemies.

If he could control it well, this Mud Fruit clone might be able to help him explore this underground world.

Lin Yan carefully put away his clone and poured out the other four drops of blood, transforming them into the Formless Clones.

Just as he put it away, he used his clone to sense that the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group in the underground waterway seemed to be restless.

H

It’s… Issuer Liu’s hara.s.sment effective? No, someone came in again!”

In his perception, a group of figures appeared at the initial entrance of the underground waterway. The clone naturally could not describe their exact appearance to him.

However, it was obvious that Bai Ling and the others had escaped from the underground water and brought reinforcements.

There were a total of eight people who came. One of them led the way and killed everyone invincibly. All his clones all felt frozen. This feeling was clearly Ling Shuangxue.

He did not expect her to come so quickly despite her relations.h.i.+p with Issuer Liu.

Except…

Lin Yan frowned slightly. This time, the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches in the periphery were set up tightly, and the underground waterway was extremely narrow. Even if Ling Shuangxue and so many powerful people were here, once they were blocked by the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach, they would be helpless.

As expected, Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches quickly reacted and surrounded Ling Shuangxue and the others in large numbers.

Lin Yan was terrified. If they were not careful, the pa.s.sageway would collapse. Or maybe, Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches would use corpses to build a wall. The eight of them would probably be sealed inside!

Thankfully, this group of people was extremely powerful and quickly realized that something was amiss, especially Ling Shuangxue. She forcefully froze the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches that covered a large area and killed her way out, allowing Lin Yan to heave a sigh of relief.

“They can’t detect the situation in the waterways in real time like me, so they naturally can’t perform an effective rescue.

“However…

“If I can cooperate from the inside, combined with Issuer Liu and Ling Shuangxue’s strength, coupled with my monitoring of the underground waterway, we can probably easily break through the situation.

“However, how can I explain to Issuer Liu that I’m monitoring the underground waterway in real time…”

As he was thinking, there was suddenly a slight movement outside the cave.

Lin Yan looked over and saw that Liu Lanqing had returned.

He came down from the cave. “Issuer Liu, how’s the situation?”

Liu Lanqing’s expression was solemn. “There was a small commotion. I didn’t expose myself and only used the forest as a cover to observe the distribution of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach.”

“What did you observe?”

Liu Lanqing sighed slightly. “There are much more Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches in this underground plain than I imagined!”

She pointed at the forest near Mirror Lake in the middle of the plain.

“I tried to circle around and realized that the closer I got to the Mirror Lake, the bigger the number of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches became. Therefore, I carefully infiltrated a distance in that direction…”

A look of disgust and worry appeared on her face. “The Mirror Lake is densely packed with Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches! From the looks of it, there are no less than a hundred thousand of them!

ii

It’s not just the large ones we’ve seen. There’s another kind. It’s between the huge and the large Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach. It’s about 70 to 80 feet tall. It has 16 eyes on its head and has different forms. It’s obvious that it’s not easy to deal with.”

Filled with Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach!

Lin Yan’s expression turned even more solemn. He had seen how big Mirror Lake was. It was even larger than West Lake in his previous life.

The surroundings were filled with Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches?

Each of them even had the strength of the n.o.ble Realm.

On the human side, there were only a few people who could enter the poisonous fog wearing expensive anti-poison suits. How could they explore?

Liu Lanqing waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this first. Is there any movement from the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches?”

Lin Yan briefly explained that someone might have come in because of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach riot, but he changed the conclusion to his own guess.

Liu Lanqing looked even more worried. “Ling Shuangxue, it must be this woman…”

“Issuer Liu, I wonder when the reinforcements outside will continue. If we can cooperate from the inside, we might be able to kill our way through the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach and break out!”

Liu Lanqing nodded and did not comment. He only said, “Wait for me here. I’ll make another trip. This time, I’m prepared to cause a big commotion. You have to be prepared!”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “Careful.”

Liu Lanqing nodded. She took some water from the Netherworld River and steamed it with flames. She wrapped it in force and cooled it to drink the non-poisonous water.

“Do you want it?”

“I can drink the water directly.”

“That’s true. It’s indeed enviable that you’re immune to poison…”

Nodding, Liu Lanqing left again.

Lin Yan exhaled and took out the five clones of the Mud Fruit again. He spread them out in his palm.

“They seem to be… hungry?”

The five green-blue clones of the Mud Fruit were dispirited and curled up there. Their vitality seemed to be constantly losing.

“What do they want to eat?”

Lin Yan simply let go of his strict control over them and let them rely on their instincts to search for food.

Soon, Lin Yan sensed that the food they needed seemed to be… him?

Or rather, his hands, his… flesh?

Although it was a little awkward, Lin Yan immediately followed the instincts of his five clones and slowly controlled their ability to forage.

This was not easy. Just like how humans were not born to eat, they also needed to learn.

Not to mention that the way this Mud Fruit clone ate was completely different from humans.

After working for half an hour, one of the Mud Fruit clones even starved to death and shrank into a small ball. Only then did Lin Yan barely master the way to let the Mud Fruit clone “eat”.

The process was rather disgusting. It was a little like a leech. Through the countless sticky suckers on its body, it adhered to the food and secreted a powerful acid corrosive liquid, melting the food and absorbing it into its body.

Lin Yan suppressed his strength and let the Mud Fruit clone suck some of his flesh off, finally ensuring that the four Mud Fruits did not starve to death.

“1 can’t use my own flesh to nourish it, right? Although the poisonous fog here is abundant and I can recover from my injuries, this feeling is really strange… I have it!”

Lin Yan stood up and saw that it would be a while before Liu Lanqing returned. He walked straight into the cave.

After taking many twists and turns, he soon arrived at the trumpet-shaped hole he had fled into.

Lin Yan carefully hid in the cave and looked out. A series of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach corpses were still there, but… their heads had been cut open!

The incision was smooth and flat. It was obvious that it had been cut by other Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches with their knife arms. The spirit marrow inside had also disappeared!

“These Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches actually know how to take away their companions’ spirit marrow?!”

Lin Yan’s heart ached, but he was helpless. Under the encirclement of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches, he had no chance to dig out the Spirit Marrow.

Lin Yan exhaled and looked at the four Mud Fruit clones in his palm.

There was a slight pain and numbness. These Mud Fruit clones did not have enough to eat and were still eating. Moreover, Lin Yan did not know if it was his imagination, but the Mud Fruit clones seemed to be a little larger.

“Don’t eat me. There’s enough food here. I’ll give it to you.”

Lin Yan split out eight more clones and let two of them take one. They carried the Mud Fruit clones and ran towards the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches outside.

When the clones ran to the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach’s side, they threw the Mud Fruit clone worms at the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach’s corpse before dispersing according to the exploration module.

“Just now, I’ve already set up the Automatic Feeding Module for the Mud Fruit clone. Such a gigantic Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach should be enough for them to eat for a long time…”

The Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach was afraid of the Mud Fruits, so he didn’t have to worry about other Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches attacking these Mud Fruit clones. Lin Yan felt at ease and returned to the hidden cave entrance..
