Chapter 338 – Is It That Hard to Handle a Dog Girl?
The room was in ruins!
The furniture was nearly reduced to fragments, the walls had peeled off in various places, and signs of attacks were evident everywhere.
In the center of the room, facing the window, a figure dangled from the chandelier.
Her long hair fluttered in the night breeze, revealing glimpses of her closed eyes.
With her arms slightly outstretched, she seemed to be floating in mid-air, giving Ling Mo a surreal feeling.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that nearly half a meter of silver thread was dancing along with her hair from the back of her head.
It was these silver threads that suspended her from the chandelier. Unlike her hair, these threads seemed very much alive.
With his keen observation skills, Ling Mo could barely make out the true nature of these silver threads in the moonlight streaming through the window.
At first glance, they looked like hair, but in reality, they were semi-transparent hollow tubes with a faint flow of blood inside.
Moreover, like elastic rubber, the silver threads continually stretched and contracted.
These silver threads tightly connected Black Silk’s Main Body to the maid girl acting as the Host Body, forming a symbiotic relationship.
“So… this is Black Silk’s evolution?”
Ling Mo took a couple of steps closer, observing carefully.
Maybe it was his imagination, but he felt that the Host Body’s figure seemed more proportionate than before.
Despite hanging in mid-air, she exuded a harmonious beauty.
A well-endowed chest, a slim waist, long legs…
Like other Senior Zombies, the Host Body’s skin had become more delicate, but if you touched it, you would find it incredibly resilient, not as easily damaged as human skin.
“That’s right, Black Silk isn’t just taking from the Host Body. After all, she still relies on the Host Body for combat. So, in this case, the Host Body has improved, right?”
Ling Mo circled the maid girl, curiously reaching out to pinch her calf.
“Although it doesn’t show on the outside, you can feel the strength. It must have improved. This way, it will be even stronger when paired with Black Silk’s Main Body.”
This body was still far inferior to Ye Lian’s, but for Ling Mo, Black Silk’s main function was as a relay for mental transmissions and its powerful sense of smell.
For close combat, it was quite impressive that she could protect herself. Ling Mo didn’t have high expectations in that regard.
He then turned his attention to Black Silk’s Main Body, a white, collar-like organism that was expanding and contracting as if it were breathing.
Its entire body was made of cartilage, almost like putty that could be molded into any shape. Ling Mo suspected that this was some organ extracted from the original giant dog body of Black Silk.
Maybe it was a heart replacing the Main Body, or even a small part of Dick replacing the Main Body…
“Good thing she’s a female dog; otherwise, I’d definitely develop some psychological issues!”
Of course, the most likely scenario was still the brain…
Other organs seemed less plausible compared to the head.
But who could say for sure when it came to evolution?
Unfortunately, Ling Mo wasn’t a specialist. In this area, he could only make guesses based on what he observed.
The contraction movement really resembled a heart, but pulling aside the silver threads revealed a miniature version of Black Silk’s head…
“I admit I’m stumped at this moment… I really can’t figure it out. Luckily, her evolution doesn’t directly affect Ye Lian and the others. But understanding more can only be beneficial to me. Besides, she’s still my pet…”
What worried him was the possibility that Black Silk might face some kind of evolutionary threshold.
When that time comes, as her owner, he’d have to find a way to help, right?
There is a significant difference between domesticated and wild creatures. Compared to the wild, the biggest advantage of domestication is ensuring survival during evolution, preventing them from being eliminated as mere stepping stones.
However, it’s also true that wild Zombies are stronger and evolve faster due to their harsh environments.
Ling Mo’s efforts to understand these things were aimed at protecting them while also helping them improve quickly.
Ling Mo stared unblinkingly at Black Silk’s Main Body. Finally, just as his eyes began to ache, Black Silk, who had been silent all this time, suddenly erupted with intense Psychic Activity!
The maid girl let out a soft “mm” sound, spreading her arms wider and straightening her toes.
Her expression seemed a mix of pain and pleasure.
Black Silk’s Main Body also began contracting more violently. Ling Mo watched her closely, muttering, “Come on, you can do it!”
But after just a few seconds, it seemed as though Black Silk had hit a bottleneck, as the contraction speed gradually slowed.
The Host Body, as if unable to bear it, started to twist slightly, her legs slowly intertwining.
“Is this… a sign of failure?! What happens if the evolution fails?”
Ling Mo was alarmed. He had never seen a Zombie or Mutation Beast fail to evolve, but with Black Silk’s current state, calling her a mysterious organism seemed more appropriate.
What should he do?!
Noticing Black Silk’s Psychic Activity weakening, Ling Mo gritted his teeth!
“Let’s try some psychic stimulation!”
The Psychic Tentacle connected to Black Silk’s Main Body suddenly twitched!
A faint sensation of stimulation immediately transmitted into Black Silk’s Psychic Light Cluster.
Ling Mo’s Psychic Power instantly focused, observing Black Silk’s reaction meticulously.
The slowly fading Psychic Light Cluster was like a deep pool, and the slight stimulation from Ling Mo felt like a small stone dropped into the water.
A ripple, expanding from the point of impact, slowly spread out.
“Mm… ugh…”
The maid girl let out a muffled groan, her toes tightening once more!
“There’s a reaction! Great! A reaction is good!”
Excited, Ling Mo rubbed his hands together. Ignoring the drain on his Psychic Power, he began to gradually increase the intensity of his psychic output!
Careful! Cautious! Control the strength and rhythm!
To avoid harming Black Silk, Ling Mo’s forehead soon became covered in sweat.
The initial progress was promising, and Ling Mo was about to push forward when he noticed another change.
The output of Ling Mo’s Psychic Power seemed to reach a saturation point; no matter how much he stimulated Black Silk, her evolution wouldn’t progress any further.
“The evolution of Mutation Beasts and Zombies is essentially the Virus continuously transforming their bodies. The more Virus that accumulates, the higher the level of evolution. Reaching Leader-Level is a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. But how exactly does a mysterious organism like Black Silk evolve? Regardless, absorbing the Virus is surely a key direction… Maybe I should try the Zombie evolution method, providing both mental and physical stimulation to accelerate her Virus absorption…”
With this thought, several Psychic Tentacles suddenly extended from Ling Mo’s Psychic Light Cluster.
As these Psychic Tentacles began to materialize, Ling Mo couldn’t help but swallow hard.
His Psychic Power was depleting rapidly, but his anticipation over Black Silk’s evolution made him oblivious to the headache and exhaustion!
The evolution process of this mysterious creature was unfolding right before his eyes!
“Sometimes, it’s okay to toss aside your sense of shame… probably.”
Meanwhile, the materialized Psychic Tentacles slowly reached out to Black Silk…
Ling Mo’s eyes were locked onto that snowy white body, with sweat dripping down his cheeks.
As the tentacles touched Black Silk’s neck and slowly moved upwards, they began to gently scratch the maid girl’s tender chin, like a soft, caring hand.
Other tentacles skillfully reached Black Silk’s head and back, with one even attending to Black Silk’s Main Body.
“Mm!”
Seeing the maid girl’s body tense up comfortably and Black Silk’s Main Body shudder, Ling Mo turned and found half a drawer to sit on before pulling out a cigarette.
“No matter how high-end and sophisticated it looks, at the end of the day, it’s still just a little dog. Scratching solves everything!”
Ling Mo wiped away his sweat, lit the cigarette, and revealed a mischievous smile.
Using Psychic Tentacles to scratch a dog鈥”this kind of thing could only be done after throwing away one’s sense of shame…
