However, the maximum tier for these food demons was merely king level, rendering them pure can of fodder.

Following that, Bayou acquired the racial skill of invisibility from the food demons.

Fortunately, it was not their noxious saliva.

Otherwise, she would have resolutely refused to learn it, activating the skill, a transparent ripple emanated from her, causing her form to vanish instantaneously.

She glanced down and could see neither her legs nor her arms, yet she could distinctly sense their presence.

Drawing out her sythe, she noted that it too remained invisible.

Bayou felt a surge of delight, but knew further experimentation was necessary.

She sheathed the sythe and approached Chunfong, placing her palm on his shoulder.

Shunfong sensed an immediate change.

Just as he was about to react, he found his own body becoming transparent, completely vanishing from view.

Boss, did the system reward us with the food demon skill? Chunfong quickly deduced, realizing they were in the necropolis, a place of safety, where the only one capable of such a feat could only be by you.

If it were Chun, he suspected she would likely have covertly kicked him.

Indeed, it seems this skill is quite remarkable.

It can even render others invisible, Bayou remarked.

And with that, their figures reappeared.

Invisibility combined with teleportation, a formidable skill essential for preemptive strikes.

Next came the most peculiar reward termed ant king evolution energy.

Judging by the name alone, Bayou was utterly bewildered as to its nature, prompting her to consult the system for further insight.

She retrieved the mass of red black energy.

While Chinfo looked on with curiosity.

Could this possibly grant the ability for absorption and evolution? Chunfong speculated aloud upon seeing the energy's name evolution.

Wouldn't he that turn one into a monster? I think being a mage is quite sufficient by you retorted contemplating Chun Fang suggestion if it were indeed as he proposed.

She had no desire for such a thing.

Name Ant King evolution energy effect.

By consuming the flesh and blood of a target, one gains the ability to evolve as well as the target's skills and racial traits.

With a strengthening duration of 1 hour, each evolution permanently enhances one attribute point.

Note: continuous consumption of different flesh can extend the strengthening duration, but side effects accumulate.

Side effects: weakness and vulnerability.

Shall we absorb immediately without hesitation? while you clicked on the system screen, opting to refuse.

Indeed, one should not harbor excessive expectations regarding the upper limits of the king- level devouring ant.

Such a grotesque ability is quite repulsive.

Particularly concerning are the side effects, which left by you utterly bewildered.

While the prospect of a permanent attribute increase after each consumption appears formidable, it is in fact rather insignificant.

It amounts to a total increase of merely one point, not one point per attribute.

By use upgrades typically entail an increase of at least 30 attribute points.

One point is utterly trivial.

Moreover, the necessity to consume certain loss and transform into a monster is hardly appealing.

Bayou promptly handed it to Chin Foong, who recoiled in fright, clearly unimpressed and disdainful of the item.

Just then, Chunw clad in new attire and looking refreshed, approached with a rosy complexion.

Here's a good item for you.

Saying this, by you tossed the ant king evolution energy to Chunwa, who appeared perplexed and unaware of the unfolding events.

Huh? Chunua caught the ant king evolution energy and open the system interface to examine it.

Uh, I don't want to become an ant.

Boss, don't give this to me.

Just as she was about to toss the item to Chon Fong, she suddenly withdrew her hand, revealing a sly smile.

How LWD Chun Fong candidly criticized his sister, delivering a sharp retort.

Yet Chun seemed entirely unfazed, approaching Bayou with the evolution energy in hand.

Boss, this item is useless for both me and that much info.

Look, Xiaoi is already at the king level.

As your subordinate, I lack any combat ability.

This cannot stand.

It would be a shame to discard it.

Why not give it to her? Chunw feed concern for Xiao Yianu while expressing regret over the potential waste of the evolution energy.

What do you mean by wanting to give it to her? Are you trying to get me scolded? Chun Phone crossed his arms and shot an annoyed glance at Chinu, turning his head away in a dismissive manner.

It's always the same.

By you thought likewise.

This item was indeed overlooked by others, making it suitable only for Xiao and Shu, given her relatively lower potential among the group.

Without any special opportunities, she might reach no higher than the emperor level, Bayou considered her well-being.

Recognizing that strength was essential for self-p protection.

Although Chonu harbored some amusement at Xiao Lianua's expense, her intentions were not malevolent.

She genuinely considered Bayu's perspective.

After all, it's not me who will absorb it.

Bayou readily agreed.

Although it ultimately depended on whether Xiao Liu consented, if she was unwilling to enhance herself, she would inevitably lag behind Bayou and face elimination.

Upon Bayou<unk>s agreement, Chunweb beamed with delight, reveling in the mischief.

Chunfong interjected, and Chinu, unwilling to be outdone, immediately countered, asserting that Chun Fong was utterly clueless.

What do you mean? I'm doing this for her own good.

Bayou also sent a message to Xiao Lianshi sharing the evolution energy of the ant king and inquiring about her thoughts on it.

Xiao Lianua was acutely aware of her limitations and shortcomings.

Realizing that her combat prowess was the weakest among them, the only reason she could cling to Bayou support was due to her early allegiance.

As more elite lords pledged their loyalty to Bayou, she recognized that her significance was gradually diminishing.

Meanwhile, Chun Fong turned his head and suddenly noticed Chin Schwe stealthily hiding aside, engaging in a private conversation with Xiao Yianua, fervently persuading her.

Chapter 319.

The Eternal King.

Ultimately, Xiao Yinshua acquiesced to the absorption of the ant king's evolutionary energy, augmenting her meager strength.

As for the consumption of flesh, there was no need for excessive concern.

Bayou thoughtfully instructed the alchemist to extract portions from certain powerful royal corpses to create pills for her use, facilitating direct ingestion.

This method also circumvented the unpleasantness of consuming repugnant flesh and the challenges of long-term preservation, thus proving considerably convenient.

It would suffice to craft a spatial ring for Xiao Leian to assist her in storing items.

The sole inconvenience lay in the side effects.

Yet Bayou is powerless in this regard.

After all, one must sacrifice to gain.

Otherwise, could one not perpetually enhance their attributes simply by consuming endlessly? Chinua wore a satisfied smile, eagerly anticipating Xiao Leian's transformation.

Nightfall approached swiftly, and the army of the undead returned in succession.

The original 40 royal beings had increased to over 50, accompanied by a 100,000 undead soldiers.

As Bayou had predicted, there was little of value among the spoils, and the decayed food stuffs were of no interest to anyone.

However, this was of little consequence, as the experience gained, along with an invisibility skill and the tier of the kingdom rendered the expedition worthwhile.

While Chinfong and Chunw downstairs, Bayou ascended early to prepare for rest.

After bathing, she slipped beneath the covers in her natural state.

Meanwhile, Chunfong and Chonu engaged in playful banter at the dining table.

While the alchemists outside busied themselves with hastily transforming the royal corpses into pills, generating a cacophony of sound, the night passed without incident, owing to her early slumber, Bayou did not oversleep.

Upon rising, she deafly fastened her buttons and dawned her attire, completing the ensemble with her favorite white socks and a pair of elegant boots befitting the local nobility.

After dressing, securing her hair and tending to her personal grooming, Bayou nimly leapt from the window, landing gracefully on the ground below.

Descending the stairs felt cumbersome.

This method was decidedly more efficient.

After summoning her troops, Bayou began organizing the armored mother to carry the undead.

Subsequently traversing the portal to twin cities to assist SARS.

Notably, the city's portal was remarkably advanced, capable of facilitating transportation not only within spacious interiors, but also externally, manifesting above the structures as if it were a marvel of futuristic technology.

This reminded Bayou of the science fiction films she had watched in her previous life.

This capability also explained how the massive armored mother could navigate through the portal.
