Lin Yuan sat on the back of the Divine Travel Black Swallow and couldn’t help criticizing. It would be fine if it wasn’t comfortable to ride on the Divine Travel Black Swallow—the crucial thing was because it was hard on the butt.
The Divine Travel Black Swallow was rather small, and its body very light. Most of the feathers were gathered on the wings, so its back only had a thin layer of woolen feathers.
In fact, the Divine Travel Black Swallow wasn’t suitable for riding because it was too fast. There were plenty of avian feys that were suitable for transportation in the Radiance Federation. The Divine Travel Black Swallow might not be a comfortable means of transportation, but it was definitely the most popular avian fey.
The distance between the Radiance Federation’s major cities was too far, and if time could be saved during travel, a little discomfort could be overlooked.
Actually, before Lin Yuan ordered for the Divine Travel Black Swallow for transportation, he had also looked through other Platinum avian feys. Among them, the most expensive and comfortable avian fey would be the Orchid Fragrance Swan.
The Orchid Fragrance Swan’s appearance was exquisite. Its slender neck and wide wings looked very graceful. The white feathers that had slight pink gave off a romantic feeling. At the same time, the Orchid Fragrance Swan’s body had plenty of Goose-Feathered Orchids that were particularly pleasant to smell.
The Goose-Feathered Orchids had the fragrance of orchids and a refreshingly sweet fruit smell. Once a person could smell it, they would feel refreshed and also elegant. At the same time, the Goose-Feathered Orchids were also a type of Platinum spiritual ingredient that had extreme value. It was also the main ingredient for a high-quality perfume that was very popular among female spirit qi professionals.
The Orchid Fragrance Swan’s pinkish feathers were very smooth, and it felt as though the hand was sliding into a huge patch of silk.
Although the Platinum Orchid Fragrance Swan was so comfortable and elegant, when a spirit qi professional was going to travel for a long distance, they wouldn’t ride on the Orchid Fragrance Swan no matter how wealthy they were. The Orchid Fragrance Swan’s flying speed was truly too slow, and it was even slower than some of the Silver feys that were great at flying.
Therefore, the Orchid Fragrance Swan was normally the best choice when wealthy spirit qi professionals got married and they were going to have a honeymoon. If someone was to ride on the Orchid Fragrance Swan to attend to urgent matters, the matter might have already been resolved itself by the time the Orchid Fragrance Swan arrived.
Lin Yuan rode on the back of the Divine Travel Black Swallow and adjusted his body. After all, he would need a few days to travel from Ascending Dragon City to Redbud City.
As such, Lin Yuan checked on the source-type lifeform that the Mother of Bloodbath had retrieved from the pinnacle Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift. It looked like a thumb-sized and translucent insect egg. Lin Yuan took the insect egg-like source-type lifeform out of the leaf-shaped fey storage box.
When Lin Yuan used True Data to check on this source-type lifeform, it was really an insect egg. Lin Yuan only realized why the Mother of Bloodbath would say that this insect egg was extremely suitable for Red Thorn and that it was a great deal for him.
This translucent insect egg was an Acid Corrosion Queen Bee that was in its egg form. As a source-type lifeform, the contracting requirements for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee were extremely harsh.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was a kind of parasitic source-type lifeform, and it could only survive by living as a parasite in other feys or source-type lifeforms. At the same time, the body of the fey or source-type lifeform would need to have an extremely acidic environment because the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee could only thrive in such extremely acidic environments.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would normally live inside the fey or source-type lifeform’s body while harvesting large amounts of acid as nutrition and maintaining its life. Therefore, it was right to say that there weren’t many feys and source-type lifeforms that were suitable for it to live as a parasite.
After hatching from the egg, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would immediately build its hive under the acidic environment. While building the hive, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would also absorb large amounts of acid and energy from the host. After building the hive, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would form a contract with its host and protect the host from then on. The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would treat the host as its only god and listen to all their commands.
Lin Yuan was speechless as this Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was truly a perfect match for Red Thorn. Most of the feys and source-type lifeforms would only have powerful acidic parts in their digestive system. Since the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was going to build its hive, all those smaller-sized feys and source-type lifeforms would need to be eliminated.
But even if that was the case, those animal-type feys and lifeforms with powerful acid wouldn’t be suitable to host the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. Once the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee constructed its hive in its stomach area, which was also the digestive area, if the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee consumed a large amount of acid and energy, the host would definitely suffer damage to their roots.
But it was different for Red Thorn, as it had the perfect conditions for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. When Red Thorn evolved to Bronze/Epic, its Mouth of Relinquish was now a blood-and-flesh smelting furnace. Large quantities of alien insects would be easily digested. Lin Yuan wouldn’t dare to say that Red Thorn’s acid would be stronger than the alien insects’ acidic juices, but it was already enough to corrode sand.
Such powerful acid was a really great aid for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s growth. Furthermore, the large amount of energy and acid required for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to construct its hive wouldn’t be a problem for Red Thorn.
Red Thorn’s Mouth of Relinquish contained powerful digestive capability, and its body had over a dozen digestive cavities that were mainly used to store surplus acid. If the Mouth of Relinquish required any acid replenishment, the digestive cavities would just cycle the stored acid to the Mouth of Relinquish.
Due to the massive number of consumed alien insects in Red Thorn’s body and the massive amount of acid contained within the alien insect’s blood, Red Thorn had an overflowing amount of digestive fluid. Therefore, when there was a need to spray out a massive amount of acid fluid, the digestive cavities would always be able to supply.
Presently, Red Thorn was only required to reserve one of the digestive cavities for the ortet. If the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee required more energy, Red Thorn would just need to consume more dimensional lifeforms’ blood and flesh.
Another advantage for Lin Yuan was that the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s contract didn’t require him to use any of his remaining spiritual energy. As a parasite inside Red Thorn’s body, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would only form a contract with Red Thorn, allowing Red Thorn to command the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee casually.
Due to Red Thorn and Lin Yuan’s bloodline connection, when Red Thorn commanded the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, it was the same as Lin Yuan commanding the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. However, due to the parasite and host relationship, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee wouldn’t have a contract with Lin Yuan. Therefore, Lin Yuan wasn’t able to provide any Willpower Rune for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.
If the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was to evolve into a Fantasy Breed, it could only reach the pinnacle of Diamond, like a wild fey. Once the quality reached Legend, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee would need to comprehend its own Willpower Rune.
However, it was fortunate that Lin Yuan couldn’t enhance the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. As such, it wasn’t difficult for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to reach the Legend quality.
As for whether the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was able to comprehend a Willpower Rune and become a Fantasy Breed, it would be up to the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s aptitude as a source-type lifeform.
