I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 12 The Second Host
Accompanied by Yagui Heiyu, Zhang Yuan began to search the area around the small valley.

This area is mountainous, densely forested and uninhabited. The natural environment is very complex and it is unknown how many species of creatures live there.

It is obviously not easy to find a second host here.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Fortunately, the God's Nest is able to sense the harborable genome at close range and alert the host.

It also greatly reduces the difficulty.

Despite this, Zhang Yuan wielded a hatchet and cut through the bushes, searching laboriously for nearly two hours, startling many snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the bushes.

The God's Nest has not responded at all.

He himself was not discouraged by this and wanted to continue looking.

However, the black feathers of the crow floating in the air began to vibrate continuously, making a low buzzing sound.

It seemed to be reminding Zhang Yuan that the time was almost up!
Zhang Yuan understood its meaning and had no choice but to turn around and return to the small valley.

If you can’t find it today, try again tomorrow.

If there is one, there will be two. He believes that as long as he persists, he will definitely be able to find the second and third hosts!

[Containable genome discovered! ]

What Zhang Yuan never expected was that after he had taken just a dozen steps, a prompt suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Zhang Yuan almost jumped up.

Surprises always come so suddenly, catching people off guard!
He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked left and right for any life sensed by the God's Nest.

There is a strong sense of excitement in waiting to open the blind box.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan's eyes were fixed on a cluster of trees just three feet away from him.

Among the dense branches and leaves, a emerald green praying mantis was confronting a black and white coral snake.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but hold his breath.

This mantis seemed to be carved out of jade, and the carapace covering its body flashed a beautiful luster. It waved its two sickle-like front legs, tentatively attacking the small snake in front of it.

Although the coral snake is very small, its overall size is larger than that of a mantis.

However, it faced the latter's attack as if it were facing a formidable enemy. It curled up its body and raised its head, frequently dodging the opponent's swinging front legs.

It seems like I'm actually at a disadvantage!

Zhang Yuan did not immediately interrupt their fight, but watched patiently.

But the emerald mantis was obviously very aggressive. After several unsuccessful attempts, it launched a real attack.

There was a flash of "knife light", and a forefoot covered with sharp thorns slashed the left eye of the coral snake with lightning speed.

A deep wound was immediately cut.

Feeling the pain, the coral snake instinctively opened its mouth and bit the emerald mantis.

As a result, the emerald mantis dodged it with great agility.

While dodging the coral snake's counterattack, the ferocious mantis launched a violent attack like a storm.

The knife never leaves the coral snake's head!

Although a battle of this level is nothing in the biosphere, Zhang Yuan, as a bystander, found it thrilling.

He couldn't even see the Emerald Mantis's moves clearly, he just thought the little guy's fighting was extremely cool.

The coral snake was hit hard, with its head torn and bleeding, and one of its eyes was also damaged.

It hurriedly turned around and ran into the bushes, trying to escape.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all!
When the emerald mantis saw its prey trying to run away, it immediately raised its two blade-like front legs high in the air.

Prepare to launch a pursuit.

However, at this moment, a "giant palm" suddenly fell from the sky.

Hold it firmly in your palm!
The emerald mantis had never expected that there was a "yellow bird" squatting next to it. Caught off guard, it instinctively waved its front legs and struggled hard.

Successfully created several shallow scratches on Zhang Yuan's palm.

Zhang Yuan seemed unaware.

The emblem of the God's Nest on the back of his hand emitted a faint light, and the ancient spell silently bloomed on the tip of his tongue. The emerald mantis in his palm suddenly disappeared.

A new host suddenly appeared in the second cell of the God's Nest!
[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[God's Nest: Level 1 (30%)]

[Host: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (9%)/4 times Strength]

[Host: Level 1 Jade Mantis (2%)/Mastery of Primary Sword Skills]

[Qi and blood: 68/75]

[Source Quality: 0]

Mastering basic knife skills!
The data of the second host displayed on the Shenchao panel gave Zhang Yuan another big surprise.

This extraordinary life form, the jade mantis, actually possesses the power of "mastery".

Proficient, expert, and knowledgeable!

This is a rare and precious supernatural ability, even if it is limited to "sword skills".

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and quietly activated the Jade Mantis he had just acquired, granting himself the "Mastery of Sword Skills".

A strange force surged out from his left hand and instantly swept through his whole body.

It made Zhang Yuan tremble.

He couldn't help but tighten the axe in his hand.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan felt that this ordinary-looking hatchet seemed to have accompanied him for decades and had become a part of his body.

Connected with him by blood!
Zhang Yuanxin waved his hand.

A sharp blade suddenly flashed in front of him, and a piece of branch fell to the ground.

The fracture is extremely smooth!

Even if you have never learned real swordsmanship.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan, holding the knife in his hand, had the demeanor of a sword master!

He believed that in this state, if he met the big wild boar again, he could solve the problem with one sword.

Just when Zhang Yuan wanted to further test the power of "Mastery of Sword Skills", the black feather of the crow next to him made a loud noise again.

There was no choice but to end it quickly.

Zhang Yuan looked at the Shenchao panel again and noticed that the health value had only dropped by 10 points.

Unlike the power of the black giant ant which consumes a lot of Qi and blood, the Jade Mantis' "Sword Mastery" requires much less Qi and blood whether it is activated or strengthened.

This means that using the superpower of "Sword Mastery" alone will last much longer!

The result made Zhang Yuan extremely satisfied.

The joy in my heart cannot be described in words.

However, although he was happy, Zhang Yuan did not lose his composure.

He followed Hei Yu back to the small valley.

As a result, Zhang Yuan discovered that the pile of wild boar viscera that he had dug out earlier had disappeared.

Yagui was not there either.

Only the sow with an empty belly was still lying on the ground.

Zhang Yuan did not hesitate and immediately swung his knife to cut the wild boar in half.

Half of the sacrifice was exchanged for source material, and the other half was carried on the shoulders and hurried out of the mountain.

If we don’t leave now, we may not be able to get back to the village before dark.

And at night, it is very dangerous in the wilderness without any village to protect you!

Zhang Yuan spared no effort and walked briskly under the guidance of Yagui Heiyu. After much haste, he finally returned to the entrance and exit of the mountain when it was gradually darkening.

Only when he saw the mountain village with smoke rising up ahead did he finally feel at ease.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and saw that the black feather of the crow had disappeared without a trace!
