Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 16 Rapid Expansion

"Unfortunately, I can only 'see' the scent up to the farthest distance it travels; I can't see anything further away!"

Minghai thought regretfully.

His thoughts and five senses are closely related to the blood lake in his body.

It knows everything inside the Blood Lake, but outside the Blood Lake, its sensing range or 'vision' range, which is the same as the fragrance transmission area, is only 500 meters.

Compared to humans, this sensing range is already very strong, but for this strange bloody life form, it is somewhat "narrow".

In the following days, the journey to hunt ferocious beasts in the Nether Sea entered a high-speed stage.

The blood lake emits a strong fragrance that attracts ferocious beasts. When the ferocious beasts bow their heads to drink water, the poisonous spirit will first shock the beasts' minds, and then stir up a wave of blood, which will drag the ferocious beasts, whose brains have been blanked by the shock of the poisonous spirit, into the lake, where they will be quickly corroded, melted, and devoured.

In this way, the hunting operation was always successful.

Occasionally, when encountering a beast general-level ferocious beast, Ming Hai would restrain himself and not strike. He would drive the beast general-level ferocious beast away by changing the taste of blood.

Although the life level has been elevated and evil spirits that can affect the mind have been born, the toxins and corrosive power contained in the blood are still not enough to deal with the beast general-level beasts.

After careful consideration, Ming Hai did not want to face a beast general who was dozens, even hundreds, or even thousands of times stronger than the beast soldiers so early.

There are countless beast-soldier-level ferocious beasts nearby, and the size of the blood lake is steadily expanding. The future is bright, so there is no need to take unnecessary risks.

In the first month after the promotion, the Nether Sea killed nearly 1 beast-soldier-level beasts, and the size of the blood lake increased dramatically, with a diameter of 60 meters, a 6-fold increase, and the blood in the lake increased by a full 216 times.

This month, the harvest is so abundant that it can be called a feast!
However, because too many beasts were hunted in the first month, the number of beast-soldier-level beasts in the vicinity decreased greatly. In the days that followed, fewer and fewer beast-soldier-level beasts were found by following the scent.

In the second month, more than 2 beast-soldier-level beasts were killed, and the diameter of the blood lake reached about 80 meters.

In the third month, nearly two thousand beast-soldier-level beasts were killed, and the diameter of the blood lake reached about 90 meters.

In the fourth month, more than 4 beast-soldier-level beasts were killed, and the diameter of the blood lake reached about 95 meters.

In the fifth month, nearly a thousand beast-soldier-level beasts were killed, but the diameter of the blood lake only increased by a little over 1 meter, to 96 meters.

In the sixth month, the effect was even worse. There were only more than 6 beast-soldier-level beasts lured by the fragrance. After they were all melted and swallowed, the diameter of the blood lake only increased by 0.3 meters.

The reason for such a gradual decrease is closely related to the distribution of ferocious beasts nearby.

Although most ferocious beasts roam freely in various places, generally speaking, they have their own fixed territories and generally will not go too far out of their territories.

Minghai uses fragrance as bait to continuously kill nearby beast-soldier-level beasts, which will naturally lead to a decrease in the number of beasts.

"Trouble!"

Realizing this, Minghai cried out in his heart that there was trouble.

According to this rule, if we want to expand the blood lake to 100 meters, it will probably take more than ten years?

If it is just a conversion of blood and water, it naturally won't take that long.

But Minghai knew clearly that when approaching the critical point of transformation, the blood obtained from killing ferocious beasts would condense into higher-level blood, preparing for the leap of life essence.

The blood pool at the beginning, starting from 9.3 meters, had an increasingly lower blood-to-water conversion rate of the ferocious beast corpses, which fully illustrates this point.

In fact, when the diameter of the blood lake exceeded 95 meters, just like when the blood pool reached 9.3 meters, a drop of high-quality blood water was born in the center of the lake bottom, which was higher than the two layers of blood water inside and outside.

The diameter of the Blood Lake is now 96.3 meters. The amount of high-quality blood water has increased a lot, but compared with the entire lake water, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

This amount is obviously not enough to support his life leap.

"How about trying a beast general-level beast?"

After experiencing a rapid expansion for half a year, Minghai no longer wanted to increase the size of the blood lake slowly and leisurely as before. At this moment, he couldn't help but set his sights on the beast general-level beast.

But thinking of the terrifying beast general-level beasts he had seen over the years, he became hesitant again.

A beast general-level beast is completely different from a beast soldier-level beast.

Even the weakest Beast General-level beasts could easily kill hundreds of G-level Beast Soldier-level beasts. Beast General-level beasts were comparable to human War General-level warriors, but in terms of physical fitness alone, beasts were several times, if not more than ten times, stronger than human warriors of the same rank.

For example, the standard for a human warrior at the general level is an attack force of eight thousand kilograms or more.

However, the attack power of a beast general-level beast can reach tens of thousands of kilograms at the least, and the stronger ones can easily reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

Not to mention the beast general-level beasts' hard scales, shells, and feathers that cannot be penetrated by artillery shells and cannot be corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid.

The reason why a war general-level human warrior can be compared with a beast general-level beast is not because their physical fitness is comparable, but when human warriors wear high-tech weapons and equipment, their combat power can compete with beasts of the same level.

There are no high-tech weapons and equipment like humans in the Underworld Sea, and even if there were, he would not use them.

All he relied on were the evil spirit of the blood lake, the toxins in the blood, and the corrosive power of the blood.

Ming Hai had no idea whether these abilities combined could kill the beast general-level beast.

His thoughts were focused on the blood water in the center of the blood lake, which was born not long ago and was at the highest level of his life. Minghai was in a state of uncertainty.

“If only I could move freely!”

After a while, Minghai sighed.

After unleashing the secret innate ability to transform into a sea of ​​blood, this strange life form has many unique abilities, but a fatal weakness.

Can't move!

The Nether Sea can freely control the blood and water, creating blood waves, undercurrents, blood tentacles, etc., but it cannot make the entire blood lake move together.

Like plant life, it can only stay where it is.

“You have to give it a try!”

After pondering for a long time, Minghai made up his mind and started to deal with the beast general-level beast.

Just like the first time he hunted a beast soldier-level beast, he planned to start with the injured low-level beast general-level beast.

However, because there are so many beast-soldier-level beasts, the injured beast-soldier-level beasts are easy to find, but the injured beast-general-level beasts, especially those that need to be limited to the low-level beast-general level, are not very easy to find.

Based on more than 20 years of experience, it takes an average of one year to encounter one.

But it is better than focusing on the beast soldier-level beasts, which may take at least ten years to advance to the next stage of life form.

In the following time, Minghai continued to hunt and kill beast soldier-level beasts, but also paid special attention to the beast general-level beasts that broke in.

The focus is on low-level beast general-level ferocious beasts. High-level and medium-level beast general-level ferocious beasts do not need to be considered and are all excluded from the target.

According to the rules, a low-level beast general-level ferocious beast can be encountered every three or four days on average.

A medium-level beast general-level ferocious beast can be encountered once every two weeks on average.

It takes two or three months to encounter a high-level beast commander-level ferocious beast.

So far, no lord-level beasts have been seen in the Nether Sea, and it is estimated that there are no terrifying beasts of this level in this wilderness jungle.

Time passed slowly without us noticing.

half year later.

Although the number of beast-soldier-level beasts in the vicinity has been decreasing, the Nether Sea has still attracted nearly two thousand of them in the past six months. After all of them were devoured and melted, the diameter of the blood lake increased to 97.1 meters.

In the center of the lake, the newly formed high-quality blood water is already three meters in size, but it is inconspicuous compared to the nearly 100-meter lake surface.

A vast lake of blood lies quietly in the jungle.

The enchanting and strange blood-red lake is sometimes calm and waveless, and sometimes ripples slightly with the wind, exuding a creepy atmosphere.
