Chapter 904: Surprising Evolution

A baby silkworm wriggled its way out of the vine-constructed box . It was blue and semi-transparent, and looked quite pretty .
"This is the tenth berserk mutant . Eat this berserk iron bug before you; if you do, you, my blue crystal bug, will be able to become a sacred-blood creature," the spirit said to the bug as she let it out of the box . Then, blue crystal bug crawled over to the iron bug .
Wherever the blue crystal bug writhed, a vibrant scorch mark was left in its wake . It looked poisonous .
When Han Sen heard the spirit speak, he thought to himself, "This spirit must have done a lot to ensure the evolution of this creature of hers . She used mutant bugs to create a berserk mutant bug, so she could then feed it to the blue crystal bug? Wow . Perhaps she will succeed . "
The blue crystal bug reached the iron bug that had just finished evolving . Due to the tiring process of evolution, it was now weak . It acknowledged what was happening, as well; it trembled at the approach of the blue crystal bug .
The blue crystal bug climbed atop the iron bug, as it had done many times before . Without reprieve or delay, it attempted to eat the iron bug from the front .
But the moment the blue crystal bug tried to eat the iron bug, the iron bug opened its mouth wide . Exceeding all expectations, its insectoid mouth became a gaping maw decorated with countless serrated teeth .
Katcha!
The iron bug was actually the one that ate the blue crystal bug . In one quick munch, the bug was gruesomely devoured . Where it once feigned fear and a look of apparent weakness, the iron bug now looked like a greedy devil .
The poisonous blue crystal bug was defenseless, it seemed . It had no chance to react to the sudden snap of the iron bug's jaws, and this surprised Han Sen and the spirit both .
No one had expected this to happen, and even the spirit was caught off guard .
The spirit lashed her rose whip at the iron bug . The bug didn't attempt to evade, however; it merely closed its shell and withstood the entire attack effortlessly .
Han Sen knew how much power was in her whip lash, and it was a terrifying amount . The whip had to be a mutant class, at least, and it was far stronger than what he and Little Wind could deal with .
Yet despite that, the whip could not damage the iron bug at all .
But then, curiously, the iron bug's shell broke again, and it started glowing blue . It was evolving once again .
"D*mn it! It's evolving into a sacred-blood . " The spirit's face changed as she spoke aloud . In haste, she quickly hammered the white shell of the bug to break it .
From inside the white shell, a green iron bug came out . It looked like jade .
Without hesitation, the spirit continued to lash it with her whip . She wanted to damage the iron bug before it completed its new process of evolution .
When it finished evolving into a sacred-blood creature, the spirit would not be able to fight it .
Whoo-pa! Whoo-pa!
The whip was like a fearsome snake, lashing out at the iron bug . The monstrously powerful attacks made the evolving creature squeal in pain .
But then, a green flame burst forth from the iron bug and enveloped the whip . It wasn't exactly like fire, though; it was more like a corrosive substance that moved under conscious control . It was like a flame composed of liquid acid . And against this, the whip stood no chance . The spirit's weapon quickly corroded into a toxic-smelling puddle of goop .
The spirit dropped the whip, not wanting the acid to touch her body . Then, she used a stalk's thorn to pierce her skin and allow the rose to absorb her blood .
As the rose absorbed the spirit's blood, the rose suddenly let out a powerful fragrance . It was so strong, it could literally be seen as a mystic haze .
The iron bug smelled the flower and was hypnotized . Without resistance, it began crawling over towards the rose .
The spirit suddenly summoned a red dagger, and when the green iron bug came closer, she stabbed it in its mouth with the power and speed of a sudden flash of lightning .
Boom!
The iron bug snapped out of its daze as the dagger lodged in its mouth . Its anger was unleashed, and it squirted its corrosive liquid all around it . The ground and soil all around were ruined, and when it was done, the iron bug launched itself towards the spirit .
But the spirit was quick to fall back . She tried using her rose bushes to trap the bug and stop its advance .
But the iron bug had become a sacred-blood creature, and the attacks it unleashed were frighteningly powerful .
The rose vines lashed the iron bug by themselves, but it was all to no avail . Against its impenetrable shell, all attacks simply bounced off and at the same time melted into nothing but drops of its wretched liquid .
The roses that sought to trap the bug were all burnt away, and it seemed likely that the bug was going to catch up with the spirit .
The spirit's face changed, but she did not look scared . Instead of a weapon, she summoned a shield this time . With it, she tried to deflect the charging bug .
Katcha!
She propped the heavy greatshield up against the frenzied bug . The force of the bug was so strong, it knocked the spirit a good distance back and smashed her into a wall . So much was the power in that hit, there was a gaping hole left in the side of the cliff she was thrown into .
"Whoa! That is so powerful . Sacred-blood creatures in the Third God's Sanctuary are terrifying . That little thing hasn't even completed its evolution, and yet it has so much power . " Han Sen watched the iron bug with greed in his eyes .
Although the bug was strong, the dagger was still lodged in its mouth . Strangely, it hadn't been melted—it looked special .
The iron bug's mouth had bled slowly ever since the oral strike . Han Sen was able to watch its lifeforce slowly drain around the knife in its mouth . Still, that did not allay the bug's desire to chase after the spirit that had inflicted such damage upon it . But the spirit knew she had injured it, and she knew victory would only be a matter of time because of it .
As the two continued to fight, Han Sen decided to sneak into the valley . He wanted to steal the kill from the spirit, as it was a sacred-blood creature . He believed this was an opportunity from God, as God only knew how long it would take for him to reliably be able to take down sacred-blood creatures on his own .
