You Huan extracted some information from what the people in the camp said.
First, they were all people who were expelled from the church and had no protection from the church.
But the leader and the knight were both very powerful. They seemed to be middle and high-level leaders of the church, but now they were expelled along with ordinary people. There must be some hidden story behind this.
Someone who knew a lot of information about the church but was not a member of the church, and with a camp, might be of use to him.
In addition, there is also information about the previous generation of "Ice Plague" corpse beasts.
This corpse beast once had a very glorious peak moment. I don't know whether it is ranked No. 21 because it later became weaker, or because there are twenty monsters before it that are more powerful than this walking scourge.
Finally, the information that is most relevant to him is about [Step Evolution].
It sounds like this talent is basically what it means literally: the corpse beasts in this world have the ability to grow stronger quickly, and the improvement brought about by each evolution is a step-by-step process.
Could this be the reason why his size and appearance changed so little just by upgrading the monster cards?
He thought as he used his claws with cryogenic fields to cut the zombie bodies he brought back into pieces, just like cutting up a fine steak.
While cutting, he often used his claws to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.
On the panel, the evolution point prompt begins to appear:
[Evolution Points +12]
[Evolution Points +10]
[Evolution Points +18]
Although this zombie, which is said to be ranked No. 80, looked very powerful when he appeared, he looked like a medium-sized villain at least.
But if we really talk about strength, even though he was just born, his low temperature field was able to freeze the knight.
The knight chopped the zombie with another sword, so the strength formula is: You Huan ≈ Knight > Zombie.
It is obvious from the previous world that if his monster card has high strength, potential, and status at the beginning, the number of evolution points obtained will be greatly reduced.
It seems that this zombie actually provides quite a lot of evolution points.
I wronged you, No.80. Although you are ugly and were chopped by a sword at the beginning, you still have some good points!
He thought sincerely.
Snow dust insects chirped and flew out from under the thick fur, and happily pounced on the steaks he had cut.
The small round body squirmed for a while, and then began to crack from the abdomen. The compressed flesh membrane opened up, and instantly the body turned into a mouth that was huge compared to its size!
"Guji, guji..."
The thin sharp teeth grinded the surface of the meat, and a layer of blood oozed out of the meat. The white bugs covered it and ate it greedily.
You Huan ignored them.
This part of meat is specially used for these little guys to eat. Although they can survive without eating ordinary food, the instinct of this body tells him that if they are provided with this kind of high-energy meat, their growth will be greatly accelerated.
So he ate while he waited patiently for the snow dust worms to swallow him whole, until each of them had a full belly.
Gradually, in the increasingly strong snowstorm, the half of the zombie monster's body on the ground disappeared completely.
Even the hard shells were frozen into crispness and eaten as after-meal snacks similar to potato chips, while the bones were sucked clean of marrow by snow dust worms and then ground into powder bit by bit by sharp teeth.
The slightly larger white fur ball stood up, and the snow dust bugs that had been eaten to twice their original size floated up, swaying and trying to get back under his fur.
You Huan shook his fur to shake off the white dots.
"Woo." He made a sound to these symbiotic creatures that was a bit like a wolf howl, but more ethereal and distant, telling them that now was not the time to rest.
"Chirp...Chirp..." The snow dust worms then swayed and dispersed again. In the blink of an eye, they merged into the snow and disappeared without a trace.
The heavy snow falling in front of him was reflected in the red eyes of the second generation "Ice Plague", which was not yet widely known.
The vision of snow dust worms appeared in his eyes.
While his own super-sensory vision came in very handy for observing temperature flows and even the movement of particles, it was a little difficult to tell what normal objects were.
At this time, the Snow Dust Bug naturally needed to act as his "eyes" and observe the territory left by the previous Ice Plague from an ordinary perspective!
"Huh——"
Outside the territory covered with heavy snow, the busy people in the camp seemed to sense something and looked up in the direction of the Ice Plague Territory.
——A fierce wind blew from there, and the howling of the blizzard was like the call of an ancient ferocious beast. Not only could they hear it here, but the moment they heard it, their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
This is the instinctive feeling of powerlessness that weak lives feel when facing natural disasters, which has been passed down from our ancestors.
"The wind and snow are getting stronger..."
——Inside the territory, the snow dust bugs shed their original lively and unrestrained appearance, spread their crystal clear wings like snowflakes, and rushed in the cold wind.
After eating and drinking their fill, their bodies were swelling up little by little, and the surrounding wind and snow were being led by them and were rapidly flying in the direction they were heading.
It snows here all year round and the temperature is extremely low. The snow dust worms' ability to guide low-temperature substances is almost doubled here.
"Chichi!"
The symbiotes flew through the cold air, with wind and snow following behind them like a white trail.
They fell between snow-covered buildings, on the mountains, and in the silent places that used to be parking lots.
The snowflakes swirled through the car window into the abandoned car, and landed on a human corpse with its head tilted, which had been dead for who knows how long, and then transformed into a small insect.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Snow dust worms crawled across the cheeks of the corpse that had been preserved extremely well in the low-temperature environment. The corpse's wide-open cloudy eyes just stared blankly at the sky outside the car.
"call--!"
Suddenly, a black figure flashing by was reflected on the surface of the eyes covered with white film.
"call--!"
"call--!"
Then came the second, the third...
Dozens of tall and strong monster figures leaped across the pale sky with heavy snow and entered the territory of the ice plague!
"Chi! Chi!"
The fierce wind and waves they created lifted up the snow dust worm lying on the face of the corpse. It floated into the air in dissatisfaction, calling in a low voice, as if cursing some very dirty words.
Then it flapped its wings and flew rapidly in a certain direction.
At the same time, "snowflakes" suddenly surged up from various places in the territory, wrapped in chilly wind, and gathered in the same direction!
In the direction where they gathered, there was a rustling sound among the thick snow on the ground, as if something was walking on the snow.
"Hula!"
The heavy snow drifting in the wind suddenly accelerated.
The fierce storm howled, carrying salt-like snowflakes, gradually turning into a huge whirlpool, rapidly falling towards the figure moving forward in the snow.
Soon, sparkling ice crystals appeared in the heavy snow.
The ice crystals were like branches growing out of thin air, branching out infinitely in all directions, spreading forward along with the figure.
The low temperature, which exceeds the endurance limit of most life forms, now has a substantial form, like a flowing, icy throne, surrounding this figure.
Until the last step was taken, You Huan, who had used up his evolution points to raise his level to [Lv.4 (0/80)], stood quietly at the border of his territory.
The heavy snow came as he moved forward, invading beyond the original boundaries, and the asphalt road that was originally covered with dust began to frost inch by inch.
The cold, frost, and snow began to intensify rapidly and expand the territory.
You Huan raised his eyes and looked at the dozens of silent figures standing opposite him.
——These are dozens of zombies! (End of this chapter
