Chapter 26: Joint Kill
Ten single-celled creations were placed into the oceanic warm bed.
These single-celled creations all had random attributes and random DNA chains.
If placed on someone else's planet, they might produce different organisms.
However, on Lin Han's monster civilization, no matter what kind of DNA chain it was, the final creation would inevitably be of monster nature.
The monster nature here only represents the biological direction of the organism.
It does not mean that all monsters have the same cells.
Cells are a micro-ecosystem; what determines an organism's development is the gene sequence within the cells.
If the gene sequences on the DNA chains differ, then the organisms differ.
In short, the Deep Sea King and the Terror Lord are different.
Both bear the name monster, but they are not the same kind of monster.
And now,
These ten random single-celled creations are completely ten different types of monster cells!
Lin Han watched these ten types of monster cells from the Creator perspective.
Then, using supreme authority, he issued the command: "Spread out in different directions; it's not good for different monsters to gather and develop together."
Immediately,
The ten monster cells split angles and rapidly spread out in ten different directions.
Lin Han's specialty, naturally, was the parasitic development method.
Compared to single-celled creations on other planets, it was like heaven and earth.
Single cells on other planets probably still need time and patience to slowly advance from single-celled to biological stages.
But on the monster civilization, it wasn't that troublesome at all!
Lin Han was too lazy for that kind of hassle anyway.
A single cell splitting and differentiating to grow into a biological organism —
How long would that take? How much effort?
Direct parasitism, erosion, and takeover — much easier!
"Number One, parasitic sea snake!"
"Number Two, parasitic sea turtle!"
"Number Three, parasitic seahorse!"
"Number Four, parasitic walrus!"
"Number Five, parasitic jellyfish!"
"Number Six, parasitic mantis shrimp!"
"Number Seven, parasitic king crab!"
"Number Eight, parasitic pliosaur!!"
"Number Nine, parasitic plesiosaur!"
"Number Ten, parasitic ichthyosaur!"
[Your creation has advanced from the single-celled stage to the biological stage through parasitism!]
[Your creation has advanced from the single-celled stage to...]
[Your creation has advanced through parasitism...]
[Your creation...]
[You have gained 80 authority points!]
Lin Han ignored the frequent system prompts.
He continued to control them.
"Begin crazy hunting! Any that move toward the hunting direction will receive my blessing! Use 100 authority points!"
[Consume 100 authority points to grant these ten creations triple all attribute buffs when moving in the hunting direction!]
Whether they're hungry or not, Lin Han believed they were!
As long as they go to eat, they get buffs!
Soon,
Animals parasitized and infected by monster cells into monsters began to act.
Their growth required a large intake of protein.
The most direct way to consume protein is through eating.
These ten types of monsters quickly earned Lin Han new authority points.
[Your creation has improved through feeding!]
[You have gained 5 authority points!]
[Your creation has strengthened itself by feeding on hosts of the same species!]
[You have gained 13 authority points!]
"Hosts of the same species?"
Lin Han cast a glance.
It turned out that the one parasitizing a sea dragon and transformed into a sea dragon monster was eating another sea dragon.
Parasitizing a sea dragon and eating another sea dragon first—Lin Han found this speechless.
What kind of grudge does it have with the sea dragon?
But on the other hand,
This monster cell, parasitizing a sea dragon and eating another sea dragon, has strengthened its own abilities!!
This was the fact presented by the system.
That is to say, it was a 1+1=2 fusion!
Not just improvement from feeding!
Similarly,
Another example is the Tyrant King!
The Tyrant King ate its brothers and sisters and ultimately transformed into an extremely evil and violent ultimate monster!!
That was also same-species cannibalism!
Lin Han stroked his chin.
He seemed to have found a way that pushes monsters to extremes!
Monster + same-species monster + same-species monster + same-species monster + same-species monster = Tyrant King!
Monster + host's same-species monster = ?
Although the benefit isn't as great as the Tyrant King's.
However,
After completely eating a sea dragon,
The sea dragon monster showed obvious changes.
Its size directly became like the fusion of two sea dragons!
This was only after the first feeding!
If it ate the same amount of other meat, it definitely wouldn't double in size directly!
"Eating the host's same species makes growth faster?" Lin Han formed this hypothesis.
So,
He immediately ordered the other nine monsters to only eat the same species as their host!
For example, the sea turtle monster only eats sea turtles!
For example, the jellyfish monster only eats jellyfish!
For example, the walrus monster only eats walruses!
As he thought this,
The Creator's perspective changed.
Allowing him to monitor all ten monsters simultaneously with a god's eye view!
He simultaneously issued commands
And observed the changes in these ten monsters.
The walrus monster was the first to encounter the host's same species.
With its two big tusks, it charged directly at an adult walrus!
"Pfft!!~~"
Blood sprayed!
The adult walrus died instantly from the sudden attack by the monster walrus!
It didn't even have a chance to resist!
This move terrified the walrus herd.
During breeding season, two male walruses sometimes fight for females.
But just now,
That was not a direct duel.
It was... a sneak attack!
Everyone feared being the next victim of a sneak attack.
The walrus herd immediately moved their bulky bodies away from the monster walrus and the dead walrus.
At this time,
The monster walrus began to feed on the dead walrus's corpse.
[Your creation has strengthened itself by feeding on the host's same species!]
[You have gained 10 authority points!]
"Looks like it really is true!"
Meanwhile,
The jellyfish monster also encountered jellyfish.
And fed on jellyfish.
[Your creation has strengthened itself by feeding on the host's same species!]
[You have gained 3 authority points!]
The sea turtle was the same.
[Your creation has strengthened itself by feeding on the host's same species!]
[You have gained 7 authority points!]
Looking at the sea turtle monster,
After feeding on an equal-sized sea turtle,
This sea turtle monster not only doubled in size but its shell became shiny!
It looked like it was forged from steel!
"Cannibalizing same species not only increases size but also doubles the body quality!"
Lin Han experimentally proved that the previous hypothesis was valid.
Now this was exciting!
"Use 100 authority points again to grant you ten monsters faster speed and stronger power when hunting the host's same species!"
[Consume 100 authority points to grant these ten monsters 5 times speed and 5 times strength when hunting the host's same species!]
