The entire process replayed in Zheng Yi’s mind, and he swiftly conceived a possibility.
The Flesh Nest was set up using a large amount of zombie flesh, which was entirely different from the flesh used in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.
Perhaps during the hatching process, it was the zombie flesh that infected the Blood Bats, leading to this situation.
"Do the Blood Bat hatchlings have zombie bloodlines, becoming semi-zombified, leading to mutual attacks and devouring?!"
This could possibly be the correct answer.
"These few Blood Bat hatchlings have also inherited the zombie’s rapid growth characteristic, growing by devouring flesh. I’m curious to see what happens next!"
Zheng Yi’s interest was piqued, and he wished to continue the scientific exploration.
He was aware that in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, the transmission of the Blood Bat Palace’s cultivating secret technique had stirred several waves of interest.
The appearance of Blood Bats was always a matter of sheer numbers, attacking the enemy en masse to secure victory.
And this incubation seed to have undergone so transformation, much like Gu cultivation, where hundreds of Blood Bat hatchlings devoured each other, leaving only three to five bats remaining.
Zheng Yi was also curious about what they would eventually beco.
"Indeed, Blood Bats require Spirit Stones to enhance bloodline strength after hatching, as recorded in the secret techniques."
Zheng Yi hesitated a bit, truth be told, he didn’t want to use Spirit Stones to cultivate the Blood Bats.
He wasn’t concerned about his Spirit Stones; with his own caravan outside maintaining his Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation resources, raising these Blood Bats should be no problem.
However, doing so would completely fall into the trap laid by the Blood Bat Palace.
After all, everyone in the Demon Realm knew that no matter how well the Blood Bats were cultivated, they invariably served as fodder for others. As long as the Ancestral Demon Bat in the Blood Bat Old Demon’s hands existed in the Core Formation Stage, all other Blood Bats were just nourishnt.
Since Zheng Yi intended to cultivate Blood Bats in the Doomsday World, hatching Blood Bat hatchlings with zombie blood, it would be best to cultivate them with items from the Doomsday World for the best results.
"If these Blood Bats have inherited the zombie gene bloodline, can zombie crystal cores be used?"
Zheng Yi thought as he tossed a few low-grade crystal cores into the Flesh Nest, only to see the mother bat directly bite and feed.
Sharp fangs pierced through, with energy rapidly flowing into the mother bat’s body.
The other Bat Kings did the sa, swiftly absorbing the energy within the zombie crystal cores, their bodies enlarging visibly.
Were they actually capable of consuming zombie crystal cores?
Zheng Yi was sowhat surprised. Casually tossing a few low-grade Spirit Stones in, he discovered these Blood Bats had no interest in Spirit Stones from the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, discarding them like scraps.
Zheng Yi understood and didn’t hold back, directly throwing a large number of low-tier zombie crystal cores into the nest.
...
Ti passed day by day.
Zheng Yi took a fixed amount of ti each day to observe changes within the Flesh Nest. Under the stimulation of zombie crystal cores, both the mother bat and the Bat King rapidly grew.
Their bodies quickly inflated, and with the constant feeding of zombie flesh, they grew to over two ters tall, exceeding the height of a large adult male in no ti.
Although still not as formidable as the mutated Blood Bat King of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer faced before, one must rember these little creatures had only hatched for less than a month.
Upon reviewing the secret techniques of Blood Bat cultivation, Zheng Yi realized that cultivating a mutated Blood Bat of such size required a significant amount of ti, resources, and Spirit Stones.
After several rounds of selection, only then can such a powerful, gigantic mutated Blood Bat be born.
Yet, rely the first incubation resulted in the birth of these mutated Blood Bats, which was astonishing.
"Could this be due to the influence of the zombie gene bloodline?!"
Zheng Yi did not believe there was anything special about the Blood Bat Eggs he initially acquired. They were just ordinary Blood Bat Eggs. The primary cause must have been the zombie flesh and crystal cores.
This series of transformative mutations piqued Zheng Yi’s interest in the mother bat and Bat King, prompting him to invest more ti in their cultivation.
Soon, in the second month, both the mother bat and Bat King matured, with the mother bat beginning to mate with the Bat King.
Just as Zheng Yi anticipated a new generation of mutated Blood Bats, he noticed an odd phenonon. After mating, to his shock, the mother bat consud the Bat King as a al.
This thod of mating reminded Zheng Yi of the renowned mantis species, where the female mantis consus the male during mating for additional nutrition.
Although shocked by this thod, Zheng Yi did not intervene for the sake of research and continued to observe.
Subsequently, all remaining Bat Kings were devoured by the mother bat post-mating.
In the ensuing days, the mother bat’s belly grew increasingly distended, developing heightened requirents for the quantity and freshness of zombie flesh.
Until its belly swelled massively, Zheng Yi could use Divine Thought to sense clearly that Blood Bat Eggs were taking form inside the mother bat’s abdon.
Evidently, the mother bat was pregnant, entering the next phase of labor.
By the third day, Zheng Yi noticed sothing peculiar about the mother bat’s belly.
The once vibrant Blood Bat Eggs appeared to have undergone significant changes, with only one left of the previously nurous life stirrings.
Uncertain of what was occurring, Zheng Yi used Divine Thought to probe the mother bat’s abdon.
He was astounded to find, just as he had sensed earlier, that all the Blood Bat Eggs in the mother bat’s belly had lost vitality, with all nutrients being continuously absorbed.
The culprit was the remaining last Blood Bat Egg.
"What is happening here?"
Zheng Yi drew a sharp breath, his eyes glinting with astonishnt.
"How did it grow so quickly? Did it ’consu’ all its siblings?!"
"This is about to birth a Demon Embryo..."
Even Zheng Yi felt quite surprised. He hadn’t anticipated an entire brood perishing, resulting in one Demon Embryo devouring all its siblings.
This was an extrely aggressive infant that possibly inherited the zombie gene bloodline and the cannibalistic instinct of its predecessors, refining it, by annihilating all its kin within the womb.
All the mother’s nutrients were claid by that lone Demon Embryo.
Through the perception of Divine Thought, Zheng Yi could clearly sense the Demon Embryo’s increasing demands. The mother bat’s food intake noticeably surged, greatly escalating its requirents for zombie flesh and crystal cores, nearly tripling.
Zheng Yi didn’t hold back, supplying whatever was needed, in terms of zombie flesh or zombie crystal cores, until the mother bat stopped eating.
He was curious to see what kind of Demon Embryo would eventually hatch.
