The huge blob of flesh quickly withered away, two black and red tentacles then sprouted from inside the rotting husk, followed by a chunk of strange-looking flesh. A total of 10 eyes were completely open, attached to the chunk of flesh covered in red and black body fluids.
As soon as the eyes opened, Wang Yuan’s expression changed, not because the eyes of the newly born monster began to observe him, but because as soon as the eyes opened, something suddenly happened, causing germs and bacteria that made up the core of this monster to gradually escape Wang Yuan’s control.
The monster’s 10 eyes constantly shifted and moved around like it was observing this world, then completely ripped the rotten flesh husk around its body away, revealing its true form to everyone.
Where the ‘head’ of the monster was supposed to be was the strange chunk of flesh with 10 eyes on top of it, constantly shifting around to observe its surroundings. Below the ‘head’ was a hunched humanoid form with two black and red tentacles on its back, the monster’s legs were the horses’ hooves.
The monster didn’t have any skin, it was similar to a skinned frog covered in black and red bodily fluids. It tried to take a step forward out of the rotten flesh husk, but tripped and fell back into the chunk of rotten flesh.
After more struggling, the monster managed to stand up again, then paused briefly as it tried to think of something. It then leapt directly out from the rotten flesh husk, heading towards Wang Yuan’s direction.
He sensed danger from that monster, this was the very first time Wang Yuan had actually felt danger directly from something in this world. Ever since the beginning, the risks he felt all came directly from himself, the most prominent of which was the lack of Life Essence, most other things couldn’t even see him, let alone threaten him.
But Wang Yuan wasn’t feeling distressed. The emotions he absorbed from Jacob were displaying its effects, turning his personality into one that didn’t panic in the face of danger. He started to float backwards while closely observing the other party’s actions. Unlike a normal newborn creature, this monster showed a clear sense of self as well as a very fast ability to adapt and understand this world.
“Gu Ru Gu Ru Gu Ru!” several orifices opened on the head-like portion of the monster and spoke in a strange tone as if it was some sort of language. The orifices then changed and made a different kind of sound: “Casca Cassos?”
“This feeling?” Wang Yuan carefully thought about how the germs that made this monster lose control in the first place: “This feels a bit similar to having a higher consciousness descending on it?”
“Soul Transmigration?1” Wang Yuan suddenly recalled this word. If that was the case, the other party’s strange actions up to now could be explained. But no matter how you looked at it, this monster wasn’t human, it even tried to speak another language, some of which included a bit of the Kent tribe’s languages. Unfortunately, it seemed to have only just learnt the language so it was unable to express what it wanted.
“Does it want to communicate?” Wang Yuan analyzed the creature’s actions, but before he did anything, after the monster noticed that it couldn’t communicate with him, it hurriedly dashed forward. Apparently, it was urgently craving something.
“I also want to know what you have to say, but regretfully, seems like communication won’t be established at this point in time” Wang Yuan could only consider a different method to obtain this information.
His interference force spread out and disturbed the creature’s steps, several small critters with rotting skin and flesh also emerged, clearly infected by his bacteria.
The main goal this time for him was to experiment with the [Black Crow] germs, but as Wang Yuan was becoming more and more cautious, he took the Cauchy people’s failure to accomplish their task into consideration and infected these small critters around the village. Using his control over the bacteria as well as the injection of his will through them, he forcefully took control of these small critters.
