239: Chapter 239 Let me test the poison for you!

Lin Mo felt the emotions coming from Ling'er on his left arm.

His heart filled with joy.

Just as he was preparing to search for the thing that could trigger Ling'er's emotions, the next moment, he saw Ling'er's tightly closed snake eyes slowly open.

A layer of somewhat transparent membrane that emitted a golden light appeared on her body.

Just as Lin Mo was feeling a bit puzzled, he saw Ling'er release her coiled body from his arm and give a gentle twist.

She moved along his arm and arrived on his shoulder.

And in the original position on his left arm, a thin layer of snake skin was left behind.

At the same time, Lin Mo noticed that Ling'er's body was significantly stronger than before.

Previously, her unfolded form was probably at most the length of his forearm, but now it was already nearly half a meter long.

Not only that, but on the top of her head, where there was originally only one golden scale, now, a green scale next to it was faintly turning into gold.

Half of it had already turned golden.

Lin Mo instantly recalled in his mind that when he was injured fighting the Headless Prince, quite a bit of blood had fallen onto Ling'er and been absorbed by her.

It seemed she could indeed continuously complete her transformation by absorbing the blood of his Sacred Body.

Ling'er flicked her tongue and affectionately pressed her snake head against Lin Mo's cheek.

Lin Mo smiled, reached out, and patted her head, "Finally awake?"

Ling'er was clearly even happier, continuously rubbing against Lin Mo's cheek.

At the same time, Lin Mo was surprised to discover a murmur appearing in his mind.

[Mas... Master...]

Lin Mo was somewhat shocked and looked at Ling'er.

Before contracting Ling'er, Lin Mo had also checked some resources.

He knew that after completing the contract, even before the contracted monster had evolved the ability to speak, it could still communicate directly through the Soul contract by relying on powerful strength.

But this was usually a situation that only existed after reaching adulthood.

In the juvenile state, they could only understand the master's words and express emotions.

This Ling'er had only hatched a few days ago, and after eating one crystal core, she could already communicate through the Soul contract?

Truly worthy of being a little one with his own blood flowing in her body.

[Mas... Mas... Master...]

However, although Ling'er could speak now, it was clearly not fluent.

Even just saying the two words 'Master' caused her to stammer continuously.

Lin Mo thought for a moment, gently stroked her snake head, and said, "Don't call me Master."

"It sounds a bit strange."

Ling'er tilted her head slightly, a look of confusion appearing in her pair of golden vertical pupils.

"Call me Daddy."

Ling'er obediently nodded her snake head, and then her voice came into Lin Mo's mind again.

[Dad... Daddy...]

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth lifted slightly.

Compared to 'Master', these two repeated characters were clearly easier to pronounce.

Moreover, regardless, Ling'er had the blood of his Sacred Body inside her.

Calling him Daddy was quite reasonable.

Ling'er rubbed against Lin Mo's cheek again.

Then she turned around and bit into the snake skin she had left behind.

Munch, munch.

In less than a second or two, Ling'er had eaten up all of her remaining snake skin.

She flicked her snake tongue and looked at Lin Mo.

[Daddy...]

[Hungry... hungry...]

Lin Mo smiled. He didn't immediately take out food for Ling'er, but instead asked her to look for the thing she perceived that possessed special energy.

Ling'er raised her body and looked around.

Then her emotions became somewhat confused.

[All... all have...]

Lin Mo was slightly stunned. "You mean there are some in every direction?"

Ling'er nodded.

Lin Mo's face lit up with joy. "Then which way is the closest?"

Ling'er used her snake tail to point to Lin Mo's right side.

Lin Mo did not hesitate to take Ling'er and walk toward the forest on the right.

While searching for the thing Ling'er perceived, Lin Mo couldn't help but call up Ling'er's panel to check it.

[Ling'er]

[Race: Nanda Snake Demon (Mutated BOSS)]

[Combat Rank: Rank 1 Stage 1]

[Strength: 350]

[Spirit: 350]

[Agility: 350]

[Stamina: 350]

[Talent: Spirit Eyes]

[Skills: Snake Fang, Sacred Pattern Parasitism]

[Snake Fang: Active skill. After activation, it will drive the Snake Fang to launch an attack, dealing an additional 20% damage to the target.]

[Sacred Pattern Parasitism: Active skill. The caster transforms into a Sacred Pattern and parasitizes the surface of the target's skin. During the parasitism, the caster is immune to damage. Every attack by the parasitized target will carry the Snake Fang effect, dealing an additional 20% damage. Furthermore, the Sacred Pattern will continuously absorb dissipated energy and convert it into the target's stamina recovery speed at a certain ratio.]

"Hmm?" Looking at this, Lin Mo was somewhat stunned.

Ling'er being able to quickly rise to Rank 1 Stage 1 by devouring the Thorn Flower Demon's crystal core was still within Lin Mo's expectations.

After all, monsters are not like them; they don't have Breakthrough mission requirements.

As long as the energy is sufficient, they can continuously Breakthrough until they reach their Bloodline limit.

But the speed of Ling'er's four-dimensional attribute increase was just too fast.

If he remembered correctly, the Rank 1 Stage 9 Bloodthirsty Fallen Crocodile had a maximum Agility of only 250, and the other items were even only around one hundred.

Ling'er had just reached Rank 1 Stage 1, and her four-dimensional attributes had already reached 350?

Although not as monstrous as he was at the time, she could definitely be considered an invincible overlord of the same Rank.

Moreover, the skills she had comprehended were also a bit strong.

Snake Fang didn't need to be mentioned; it could only be counted as an ordinary attack skill.

But Sacred Pattern Parasitism was a bit monstrous.

Being able to gain attack damage skill augmentation was already very useful.

It could actually absorb energy during battle, thereby providing him with extra recovery speed.

It was of great help to him.

The affection in Lin Mo's heart for Ling'er grew even stronger.

Under Ling'er's guidance, Lin Mo soon saw a somewhat inconspicuous blue-purple herb.

After getting close, Lin Mo carefully observed it.

This blue-purple herb grew at the base of a dead tree, and at the central vein of each leaf, a treasure-blue light like fluorescence flowed.

Faintly, one could also smell a delicate fragrance mixed with the scent of soil.

Recalling that this place was very likely related to the Demonic Beast Mountains, Lin Mo's heart stirred. "Could this be... Purple Orchid Leaf?"

Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, Ling'er was clearly a bit excited.

Before Lin Mo could pick it, Ling'er had already crawled across his arm.

With a gentle curl of her tail, she pulled this herb out of the ground.

Then, she opened her mouth and was about to feed it to herself.

However, before it reached her mouth, Lin Mo had already grabbed Ling'er's tail.

"Wait, don't eat this yet."

Ling'er flicked her tail somewhat aggrievedly and looked at Lin Mo, puzzled.

Extracting this herb from Ling'er's tail, Lin Mo said with a straight face and a calm heart, "I don't know if this is poisonous."

"Let me test it for you first."

As he spoke, Lin Mo put this blue-purple herb directly into his mouth.

He chewed and swallowed it.

Gulp.

Two lines of small text reminders slowly appeared before Lin Mo's eyes.

[Gluttony Talent successfully fed, Conversion EXP + 50, Green Lotus Enlightenment obtained EXP + 5]

[Devoured special energy, HP recovery speed increased by 0.5%]
