Failure

He squatted and reached out his hand to touch the corpse, "Let's see if I can make use of bloodline acquisition without the system," 

Gustav's palm made contact with the body of the shredded body, directly pushing his hand into the bloody part.

Squelch!

It made some funny noises as Gustav's palm dipped into it.

The blood from the corpse of the solar worm had been exposed to air for quite some time and had lost a lot of it's corroding quality so Gustav hardly felt any pain after dipping his hand in it.

Gustav closed his eyes and tried recollecting the feeling of withdrawing a bloodline from a body.

His breathing became steady and his concentration increased to the max.

After a few seconds, he felt a weird kind of reaction and opened his eyes to stare at his arm.

His veins had bulged out of his skin and were extending forward towards his fingertips.

His fingertips were lodged deep into the corpse of the solar worm.
