Chapter 393 Bloodline Evolution

The Silvermoon Demonic Rats, several sizes larger than normal, were screaming in agony amidst the bloody light. Throughout the entire herb garden, the other Silvermoon Demonic Rats were trembling and kept their distance. As they watched the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat, they felt like commoners encountering a king, afraid that the king’s anger would result in millions of corpses.

Because lying around the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat were already more than a dozen corpses of other Silvermoon Demonic Rats.

“No way, it’s actually a bloodline evolution!” Shi Feng felt a sense of foreboding seeing this.

Monsters can also evolve, just like players advance in rank, except it’s called evolution for monsters.

The Field Bosses in God’s Domain don’t just appear out of nowhere. When a Field Boss is killed, and there is no ruling boss in that area, the monsters in that area will fiercely compete and fight each other. This allows these monsters to continuously evolve until one evolves into the boss of the area. Only then will the fighting stop.

So, every time a Boss respawns, the monsters in that area are unusually powerful because they are monsters that evolved through competition.

The current Silvermoon Demonic Rat is the same, except the current evolution is somewhat special, a bloodline evolution.

The bloodlines of magical beasts often originate from incredibly powerful ancient monsters.

So, during evolution, there is a certain chance to awaken the bloodline, which not only allows them to advance in rank but also further enhances their life level.

In his previous life, Shi Feng had seen a magical beast evolve like this. It evolved from Tier 4 to Tier 5, successfully awakening its bloodline and directly becoming an incredibly powerful Tier 5 Archaic Species. This turned the entire area into a forbidden zone for players, and it took the super guilds quite a long time to kill this Tier 5 Archaic Species.

The Silvermoon Demonic Rat is a Tier 2 Lord. If it evolves directly, it would normally become a Tier 3 Grand Lord. After awakening its bloodline, it would become a Tier 3 Archaic Species. At that point, forget fighting, even escaping would probably be impossible.

Even if he could escape now, he wouldn’t even have a chance to enter the tower later with a Tier 3 Archaic Species magical beast guarding the herb garden.

“I can only take a gamble!” Shi Feng gritted his teeth, took out the only Tier 3 Large Destruction Scroll and a Tier 3 Summoning Scroll from his bag, and immediately began to chant.

The evolution of monsters doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to absorb a large amount of magic power, and the more powerful the evolution, the longer it takes. Now that the Silvermoon Demonic Rat’s bloodline evolution has just begun, it is the perfect time to attack.

Suddenly, a large azure magic array appeared above the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat. A portion of the turbulent magic power was absorbed by the magic array, and countless snowflakes suddenly fell. Wherever the snowflakes touched, they turned into ice blocks, directly turning a radius of 50 yards into a frozen world.

Tier 3 Large Destruction Magic, Frost Heaven!

Not only does it deal high damage, but it can also freeze all targets within the range for 10 seconds. Even if it can’t freeze them, it will form a domain that reduces the attack speed and movement speed of enemies within the domain by 50%, and doubles stamina consumption, lasting for ten minutes.

With just one move, the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat within range was frozen. The distant Silvermoon Demonic Rats didn’t dare to approach because of the bloodline evolution and were all fleeing for their lives, giving Shi Feng a chance to deal a heavy blow.

With one move, the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat instantly suffered over a million points of damage. Although its HP didn’t decrease much, the evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat was severely injured, and the speed at which it absorbed magic power greatly decreased.

“Awoo!”

The evolving Silvermoon Demonic Rat roared angrily, staring fixedly at Shi Feng, its bloody eyes flashing with cold killing intent, and charged directly toward Shi Feng.

“Good!” Shi Feng smiled and immediately activated Wind Rider to turn around and leave.

Fighting in the herb garden was too dangerous. If the Silvermoon Demonic Rat continued to absorb magic power and evolve after the previous attack, he really wouldn’t have any way to deal with it. Now, it was perfect that it was charging over in anger.

Although the Silvermoon Demonic Rat hadn’t fully evolved yet, even with Shi Feng activating Wind Rider and the Wind Ring, it was still faster than him in terms of movement speed.

“Bloodline evolution is really terrifying.” Shi Feng looked back at the Silvermoon Demonic Rat chasing after him, and was secretly shocked.

The original distance of more than 70 yards was now less than 50 yards, and it was still absorbing magic power and evolving while running, only the speed of evolution was a bit slower.

However, this was exactly what Shi Feng wanted. As long as the Silvermoon Demonic Rat was evolving, the other Silvermoon Demonic Rats wouldn’t dare to approach. If the other Silvermoon Demonic Rats attacked together, he would only have one way to go: death.

Shi Feng then ran wildly out of the herb garden and was directly caught up by the Silvermoon Demonic Rat.

The sharp demonic claws directly slashed several bright silver arcs towards Shi Feng’s back. Shi Feng didn’t dare to be careless and directly turned around to use Parry, blocking the attack.

Bang!

With just one attack, Shi Feng was sent flying more than 20 yards. Although part of the reason was that Shi Feng used the force to pull away, the pure strength to be able to knock him back more than 20 yards was already at the level of a 62nd-level Grand Lord.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying its strength and speed would be if it completed its evolution.

“The distance is about right.” Shi Feng glanced at the distance from the herb garden, and then controlled the Tier 3 summoned beast and the two Tier 2 demons to start attacking.

Dragon Breath!

Instantly, a white light flew towards the charging Silvermoon Demonic Rat. The Silvermoon Demonic Rat revealed a human-like disdainful sneer and suddenly made a rapid turn, directly dodging the Dragon Breath. It was completely different from those clumsy Silvermoon Demonic Rats.

“Did its intelligence increase so much?” Shi Feng frowned slightly. Although bloodline evolution did increase intelligence a lot, he didn’t expect it to increase so much. Its skills were simply comparable to elite players.

Just as the Silvermoon Demonic Rat was smugly charging towards Shi Feng, the two Tier 2 demons also circled around to the Silvermoon Demonic Rat’s side and launched attacks from blind spots.

The Silvermoon Demonic Rat’s round eyes flashed with a sly smile, and it suddenly rolled backward, directly dodging the attacks of the two Tier 2 demons.

“Too bad!” Shi Feng wasn’t surprised by this at all, but instead looked indifferent.

The Silvermoon Demonic Rat that rolled backward suddenly discovered that at some point, a 65th-level Tier 3 Shadow Lion with a height of seven or eight meters had appeared behind it. It was now waving its sharp claws and slamming down.

Boom!

The Silvermoon Demonic Rat was directly slammed into the ground, letting out a miserable scream. Its HP instantly dropped by more than 700,000.

This move was the Shadow Lion’s Tier 3 skill, Dark Assault.

This move was somewhat like an Assassin’s Shadow Steps plus Ambush, but it was a range attack, giving the enemy no chance to dodge.

Shi Feng had previously used the Dragon Breath attack to determine the Silvermoon Demonic Rat’s combat level. After confirming its combat level, he used the two Tier 2 demons to feint an attack, leaving a sliver of dodging space for the Silvermoon Demonic Rat, and then let the Shadow Lion deal a heavy blow.

With one hit succeeding, Shi Feng didn’t hold back and directly switched the Fire Ring to Flame Storm.

Soaring flames rose up, and the Silvermoon Demonic Rat that had been slammed into the ground didn’t have time to dodge and was directly swallowed by the flames.

“Awoo!”

The Silvermoon Demonic Rat in the flames let out a painful scream. Its HP was dropping bit by bit, and its blood-red eyes suddenly turned pitch black. Although flames were rising all around, the atmosphere of the entire space was unusually cold.

With an earth-shattering roar, the Silvermoon Demonic Rat also began to change. Not only was its size getting bigger and bigger, but the fur on its body also changed from dark gray to silver-white. The original one tail had now become three tails, the two front claws had directly become four front claws, and a pitch-black horn had grown on its forehead.

“Crazy, it actually chose to forcibly evolve?” Shi Feng’s brows furrowed as he watched.
