SWNOVELXO Chapter 261: Parasite
Blood vessels?
Divine Veins?
What are Divine Veins, are they meridians?
But if they are blood vessels, how huge must they be.
Chen Xing looked at the blood vessels chasing each other across the mountain at the foot of the hill, feeling somewhat apprehensive in his heart.
Surely this thing won't keep running around in the Dark Realm like a dog smelling a scent.
Hmm?
Chen Xing suddenly noticed a line of fine text emerging beside the monster at the foot of the mountain.
He looked closely and saw that it was a panel!?
When he saw the panel, Chen Xing's mentality underwent a subtle change.
A panel = a monster.
A monster = can be killed.
So this isn't some strange and bizarre thing.

This thing has mastered a bunch of primary and intermediate skills, nearly half of which are support skills, and the only three advanced skills it has are one for lifesaving movement and the other two are also support skills.
Sacrificial Healing is a rather famous healing skill among the dark attribute skills, the effect of which is to sacrifice its own life force to heal other units.
It is also one of the rare "healer" skills among dark attribute skills, although generally no monster or Beast Taming would learn this skill...
Primal Potential is also an amplification skill, similar to the effects of adrenaline, capable of drastically activating the target's physical qualities for a short period of time.
And just by looking at the names of the passive skills, you know one enhances healing abilities and the other reinforces defensive ability passively.
Basically, you can say that it has maximized its ability to survive.
Moreover, the awakened divinity amplification effects are somewhat similar to the North Sea Giant Demon I encountered before.
How difficult the healing ability of that North Sea Giant Demon was, he had witnessed it himself.
This monster seems to have an odd direction of skill awakening; wild creatures rarely awaken skills like this.
But I heard that it was something extracted from the body of a former Dark Realm Arbiter, could it be the creature that was parasitizing inside the Dark Realm Arbiter?
If that's the case, it does make sense.
But why is it chasing after me, no, more precisely after Sìxiàng?
Could it be that it mistook Sìxiàng for its former host, the Dark Realm Arbiter, and longed to return to its bosom? Explore new worlds at empire
As Chen Xing pondered, the presence behind the dark clouds said, "How have you considered?"
Chen Xing turned to look at the being behind the dark clouds, "The prerequisite for cooperation is that there can be no concealment on either side, isn't it."
"Of course."
"Yet, to this day I have never beheld your true form, is this really what you call a 'sincere' cooperation?" Chen Xing's questioning conveyed a hint of coldness.
"Hahahahahaha," the other party let out a deep and powerful laugh, "If you wish to see my true form, what is the difficulty? I have not revealed myself merely for fear of frightening you..."
Before the voice fell, the clouds around began to roil violently as if being stirred by an invisible hand. The dense, ink-like clouds slowly parted to reveal a profound darkness. And then, numerous red tentacles stretched out from the darkness, like a writhing mass of snakes.
At the tip of each tentacle was a blood-red eyeball, they seemed like disorderly roots, and instead of blooming flowers at their tips, there were blood-engorged eyeballs, like the odd red fruits of darkness.
Upon closer observation, it became evident that these tentacles resembled nerve endings, as if they were part of an enormous organism.
Those eyeballs were fixedly staring at Chen Xing, "Having been contaminated by the god corpses, I've become what you see now, but luckily, I am still alive."
"Pretty cool," Chen Xing nodded.
"Pretty… cool?" The multitude of eyes around him hesitated for a moment, seemingly caught off guard by Chen Xing's response.
"And another thing, you said you can't leave the Dark Realm, but you gave us a key. If you have the key, why do you need my help to move the Domain Stele?" Chen Xing went on to ask.
"That is indeed the key, but only it can use it." The myriad of eyeballs turned, looking towards Sìxiàng next to him.
"An exclusive key?"
Chen Xing pondered, judging by appearance, the eyeball on Taotie was indeed different from the eyes on this entity before him.
There are obvious differences just from the look of it.
"It is the eye of the previous Dark Realm Arbiter, they have the same origin, hence it can wield it."
The eyeballs spoke eerily.
Chen Xing contemplated the credibility of its words.
"Then let's go down and see what that guy underneath wants to do." The Domain Stele would be moved aside, it might open up the passage to the Dark Realm, and by then it would come calling anyway, so it might as well be resolved for good in the Dark Realm.
Clouds descended from the sky, and Chen Xing noticed that behind this being the numerous clouds were churning, and faintly, it seemed he could hear the sound of flapping wings.
As the clouds gradually dissipated, the creature's massive frame slowly became clear before Chen Xing's eyes.
It was a giant bird made of white bones, its ominous skeletal frame unusually conspicuous in the dim light. Its broad wings folded one upon another.
