Bone-chilling cold and a heavy sense of oppression were everywhere.
Lilith's consciousness gradually blurred; huge rocks and silt firmly imprisoned her body at the bottom of the pool.
If not for a piece of deadwood supporting her from above, she would have been completely buried by rubble and soil by now.
The pain of suffocation stimulated Lilith's nerves; she could feel her consciousness gradually peeling away.
She wanted to return, but the system prompted that her current state did not allow for return.
In this life-and-death mont, Lilith's claws touched sothing tough and cold—it was the corpses of the Blood Pythons killed by the collapsing cliff.
Survival instinct overwheld everything. Almost relying on her final will, Lilith extended her blood-sucking Fangs and stabbed them fiercely into the cold, stiff corpse!
A large amount of blood poured through the Fangs into Lilith's nearly depleted body, converted by the Gene Dominator into the energy needed for her body, nourishing her form.
The feeling of suffocation was slightly relieved. More importantly, this surge of energy allowed Lilith's nearly dissipating consciousness to reconsolidate!
"Suck! Keep sucking!"
This was Lilith's only lifeline; she sucked frantically, not daring to stop for a mont.
The blood of one Blood Python was quickly sucked dry.
Lilith crawled with difficulty through the cold mud. She used ultrasound to explore the extrely limited space, searching for the next possible corpse... After an unknown amount of ti, as Lilith struggled out of the thick silt and rock crevices with her tenacious will and constant energy replenishnt, a thrill of surviving a disaster spread through her body.
Lilith did not choose to return imdiately.
Her cold, blood-colored eyes scanned the ssy ruins.
Below, a large number of Blood Python corpses were still buried. Instead of returning, it would be better to take this ti to convert these corpses into gene fragnts.
Otherwise, once she returned, the Blood Python gene fragnts she had collected earlier would go to waste.
Lilith endured the excruciating pain of fractures in her wings and various parts of her body, using her claws to begin digging.
One by one, the buried Blood Python corpses were dug out by her. Their blood beca the best energy, maintaining the operation of Lilith's life.
So blood orchid debris and roots destroyed in the collapse were also devoured by Lilith without waste.
[Devoured Mutated Blood Python, obtained Blood Python gene fragnt 1, current completeness 99%...]
[Devoured blood orchid remnants, obtained special life energy...]
[Blood Python gene sequence has reached 100%!]
When the last Blood Python was sucked dry, the prompt sounded in her mind again. Lilith no longer hesitated and returned imdiately, because she felt a crisis quietly approaching—an animal's instinctive perception of danger.
"System, settle and return!"
The next mont, Lilith's body disappeared directly... In the pure white space, a cold voice echoed in Lilith's mind.
[Ding! Plot World: "Anaconda 2" is being settled...]
[Ding! Obtained blood orchid, successfully completed the main quest, rewards are being settled...]
[Basic Reward: points 10, 1 Free Attribute Points]
[Item Harvest: 16 blood orchids, can be exchanged for 160 points.]
[Total Gains: points × 10, blood orchid × 16, 1 Free Attribute Points.]
[Ding! Your current comprehensive evaluation: F.]
An evaluation of the lowest F was already expected by Lilith; after all, besides picking up leftovers, she had done almost nothing to advance the plot.
Lilith looked at the exchange option for the blood orchids on the panel, which was as high as 160 points, without any hesitation.
points can be earned again, but such natural treasures that can directly promote the elevation of life levels must not be easily exchanged.
"Consu 10 points to repair body."
Lilith looked at the body repair option next to her and chose to confirm in her mind.
The next mont, a soft light enveloped Lilith's entire body. The bullet holes on the wing mbranes, the lacerations on her body, and the cracks in her bones were all healed instantly, and her condition returned to its peak.
But at that mont, the space shifted, and Lilith had returned to that familiar yet strange Cave.
The humid air, the cold rock walls—everything seed unchanged, but Lilith was already completely different.
Sixteen enchanting blood orchids were taken out by Lilith, floating in front of her.
An extre temptation originating from life instinct surged into her heart, and a voice frantically urged Lilith.
Eat them! Eat them all!
Lilith did not resist this impulse.
She opened her mouth, and an invisible suction swallowed all sixteen blood orchids into her belly!
"Boom—!"
Lilith felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of lava! Indescribable burning energy instantly exploded within her body, flowing and surging. Every cell was letting out a greedy roar, rapidly expanding and absorbing this energy!
"Fuse Blood Python genes!"
Lilith could feel that this was definitely the best ti for her to fuse the Blood Python genes!
[Command confird! Analyzing Blood Python genes...]
[Detected high concentration of special life energy "blood orchid", fusion efficiency increased by 300%! Mutation potential increased!]
[Detected parts available for Mutation.]
[Option 1: "Heat-Sensing Pit" - Generates special heat-sensing organs on both sides of the snout to obtain snake-like infrared vision, greatly enhancing perception in dark and complex environnts.]
[Option 2: "Muscular System Reconstruction" - Greatly increases the density, contraction efficiency, and explosive power of muscle fibers throughout the body; the Strength attribute will receive a massive increase.]
[Option 3: "Tail Vertebrae Extension and Strengthening" - Extends the tail vertebrae to generate a flexible, tough, and independently controllable tail, combining balance, grasping, and attack functions.]
Almost without hesitation, Lilith directly chose "Heat-Sensing Pit".
Strength is important, but in the crisis-ridden Main God Ga, precise scouting and perception are the greatest guarantees for survival and taking control of the situation!
Especially this ti; if she had known the Reincarnators had guns, she at least wouldn't have fallen into a passive position.
[Command confird, Blood Python genes have been loaded into the "Gene Dominator".]
This Mutation was far more intense and much longer than the previous two!
The massive energy provided by the blood orchids acted like a catalyst, allowing the Blood Python genes to fuse with Lilith's original body in a more violent and profound way.
Familiar pain arrived. Lilith's body trembled violently in the Cave, her bones making a tooth-aching crackling sound of growth, and her muscle fibers were constantly tearing and reorganizing.
The energy of the blood orchids maintained the energy requirents for the entire Mutation stage.
Lilith's size was expanding frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Her wingspan soared from the previous one ter, breaking through to three ters, and finally stabilized at an astonishing four ters!
The skull bones, which were originally more bat-like, were also stretching and deforming. The snout beca slightly longer, and the eye socket structure was being optimized to accommodate the new visual system.
The shape of the skull after evolution had completely moved away from the ugliness of a bat; it was sowhere between a python's head but also distinct from one.
The white fur on Lilith's body was rapidly falling off, revealing blood-red muscles and skin. The skin split open, and white scales grew out of the flesh.
At the sa ti, Lilith's tail vertebrae extended into a tail, slender like a snake's and covered in white scales.
The entire Mutation process lasted for a full three hours.
When everything settled, Lilith slowly opened her eyes.
The world was already different.
The ultrasonic 3D sonar was still precise, but now, a more vivid and lively layer of color covered it—those were color blocks representing temperature!
The cold rocks were deep blue, the beetles that still had so warmth were light red, and the wind blowing from outside the Cave carried a hint of coolness.
A world constructed by both sound and heat was fully visible!
Lilith vibrated her wings; the four-ter wingspan brought a powerful sense of strength, and the cold light on the Bone Blades at the wing edges was even more intense.
Lilith looked down and saw a body covered in white scales.
Opening her bloody maw, besides the original blood-sucking canines, Lilith now had a row of sharp teeth in her mouth, as if they could tear everything apart.
The changes in her teeth and skull would also completely change Lilith's way of eating, from the original sucking to the current tearing and biting.
