Chapter 91: Chapter 75: Unexpected Delight, The Inner Principle of Evolution

Ding Yi quickly inventoried the results of this battle.

Aside from the male leader and two Tier One females, the remaining late-stage adult Rock-Horned Horses, totaling fourteen, were all female.

In addition, there were ten early to mid-stage foals, and in the end, only seven were captured alive, while the other three, five to six Level male young Rock-Horned Horses, were too difficult to control and were killed directly.

With this tally, the entire Rock-Horned Horse herd, consisting of twenty-seven members, was completely captured without missing a single one.

Among the seven foals captured alive, most were early-stage Rock-Horned Horses, only the size of sheep.

After being shackled and securely tied with ropes, they were placed together with the previously captured young Rock-Horned Horse in the armored trike. If there wasn’t enough space, they were locked in another two or three-wheeled vehicle.

Anyway, each of them was full and satisfied. Even if they were locked up for seven or eight days, they wouldn’t die.

What remained were twenty Rock-Horned Horse carcasses.

Ranging from the male leader, whose body exceeded seven meters, to the foals only slightly larger than lambs, they covered the entire camp.

The Tier One Rock-Horned Horse carcasses were processed the fastest by Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, while the remaining fourteen adult Rock-Horned Horses were handed over to the other four women for dissection and meat extraction.

The value of the three young Rock-Horned Horses was too low to be worth much more than two or three hundred pounds of total horse meat, especially since their level was so low. If taken back, they could only be sold or traded at the Holy Spring Day gathering…

It would be a waste of space and burden for the electric vehicle.

So they were processed as dog food for the Divine Dog.

After tasks were assigned to everyone, including the Divine Dog, the group quickly sprang into action, creating a flurry of activity throughout the camp.

The adult Rock-Horned Horses were manageable, as everyone had experience handling them, but the Tier One Rock-Horned Horse carcasses, especially the largest male leader, were challenging.

The massive horse carcass was more than ten times the size of Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, resembling a sizable elephant.

As Lin Feng approached, his peripheral vision confirmed that this was a Level 14, Tier One mid-stage Rock-Horned Horse.

Its herd was considered the smallest group in the migrating beast tide, and thus its strength was not excessively strong.

Yet even so, the male leader had fought its way to become a top warrior out of hundreds of single male Rock-Horned Horses!

It defeated the previous leader and fulfilled the life’s purpose of a horse!

Passing its exemplary genes down!

As a Tier One mid-stage evolved being, its entire body was clad in heavy rock armor, designed to fend off predators and, more importantly, to guard against sneak attacks from other male counterparts.

At the moment, the daggers in Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan’s hands, with blade lengths shorter than the twenty-centimeter thick surface rock armor, could only strip away the rock armor using a machete.

Following Lisa’s earlier steps, they first drained the blood of the male leader’s carcass, then cut along the seams to remove the rock armor modules, gradually stripping the thick rock armor from one side.

This made it significantly easier to clean the innards after pulling the rib side open.

After slicing through the softer abdominal armor, the edge of Lin Feng’s Level 7 enhanced machete bent and curled.

The durability dropped rapidly.

Luckily, it could be repaired using Life Value.

With one side of the ribs pulled apart, Chen Shanshan used a titanium gun to hold the ribcage while she and Lin Feng cleared away a mass of warm innards, weighing around four to five hundred kilograms.

Among the colorful mass of innards, they successfully found a large, still actively beating heart.

This Level 14 horse heart was half a meter large and weighed a hundred pounds!

It pulsed powerfully, like a pump that extracted and compressed blood to drive the seven-meter-long giant beast, unleashing immense power of several tons.

And at this moment, it would become the power source for Lin Feng’s evolution, completing its final mission.

After removing all the innards, the entire internal abdominal cavity of the horse carcass was spacious enough, with a volume of several cubic meters, allowing two people to lie within from end to end.

Next, they targeted the tenderloin muscles running along the spine at the deepest part of the cavity.

They were nestled against the photovoltaic rock armor, representing the area with the highest concentration of evolutionary cells on the Rock-Horned Horse’s body, aside from the heart.

These were also the evolutionary meat rich in life source material.

Lin Feng pulled out a sharp knife, braving the mess to dive into the horse carcass’s abdominal cavity, where he first severed the thick ribbed row as thick as a thigh, then delicately peeled away the tenderloin muscles.

After more than an hour’s work, he perfectly extracted two pieces of tenderloin, each nearly five meters long.

Totaling two hundred kilograms in weight.

In total, this Tier One mid-stage Rock-Horned Horse had five hundred pounds of evolutionary meat!

Reaching a quarter of a ton!

“Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat lv14, Red Quality”

“Level 14 evolutionary meat, rich in life source material, with strong bioactivity, can be absorbed through eating or filtering to obtain life source material, breaking through from early Tier One to mid-stage evolution; recommended usage post Level 13 evolution, with lower levels diminishing future evolutionary effects”

“Note: This evolutionary meat is full of alien evolutionary genes, capable of causing genetic pollution to enhanced life forms, potentially leading to unknown mutation consequences, but purity evolution can be achieved by extracting pure evolutionary source material using the purification extraction filter”

After collecting the evolutionary meat, Lin Feng glanced at the side notifications, frowning slightly.

The Level 14 evolutionary meat could facilitate advancement from early to mid-stage Tier One. If consumed at Level 10, it would be like forcing growth, resulting in significantly reduced effectiveness of future consumptions.

But at the moment, to directly reach Level 13 in one go, at least one each of Level 11, Level 12, and Level 13 Rock-Horned Horses is needed.

As for the remaining two Tier One Female Rock-Horned Horses, Lin Feng just checked them…

One is Level 10, and has just upgraded.

The other is Level 11, at most allowing Lin Feng to level up once more.

So holding the Level 14 Enhanced Meat in his hand, Lin Feng feels a bit troubled.

If he eats it and can level up twice like during the Enhanced People period, finally evolving to Level 13, the boost to Lin Feng’s power would be more than just a little.

Then when he kills the Mid-Tier One Male leader, it won’t be as tight as it is now, needing someone to make sacrifices.

Whether to consume the Level 14 Evolutionary Meat early…

For a moment, Lin Feng found himself in a dilemma.

At this time, Chen Shanshan sliced off a thick, two-meter-long giant horse leg and walked up to Lin Feng:

“The energy density of the thigh is not low either. I just ate a small piece of fresh meat and felt my internal superpower was moved. You should try it.”

As she said, Chen Shanshan used a sharp knife to slice a small piece from the section of the horse leg, handing it to Lin Feng.

Watching the still-pulsating horse meat cells, Lin Feng took a small taste.

The taste of the raw meat slice was a bit gamy, but the texture was firm with a hint of sweetness.

Before he could swallow it, as the evolutionary cells in his body produced a strange sensation, a notification popped up in Lin Feng’s peripheral vision:

“Rock-Horned Horse Meat Level 13, Red Quality”

“Level 13 Rock-Horned Horse Meat, contains trace amounts of Level 14 Evolutionary Cells, scarce Life Source Material, unable to extract Life Source Material for Tier Jump Evolution, but can absorb through consumption, helping Tier One Early Stage Evolvers to break through the Level 14 ceiling.”

“Note: This meat block can help evolvers enhance their stage level cap, or restore body state, but has strong contamination to life forms in the enhancement stage, please use with caution.”

Finishing the introduction, Lin Feng immediately beamed with joy.

The principle of Evolution Levels, middle and late stages, these three small stage qualitative evolutions…

Brought an unexpected joy to Lin Feng at this moment!

Just like during the Enhanced People period, the minimum power limit for Tier One Early Stage Evolvers is one ton, with the upper limit breaking through as levels progress, potentially nearing four tons.

While a Level 14 Tier One Mid-Stage Evolution possesses a base power of four tons lower limit.

This means the ultimate burst at Level 13 is just the normal state for Level 14.

Therefore, within small stages, the gap between levels is not particularly noticeable, at most the upper limit is a sequential breakthrough.

The aura of Level 10 and Level 13 Evolutionary Forms doesn’t differ significantly either.

But between the middle and late stages, the gap is particularly pronounced.

When the external strength gap is reflected on the internal structure of the Evolutionary Form, it shows in the local and overall difference in Evolutionary Cell level.

Inside a Level 14 Rock-Horned Horse, aside from Evolutionary Meat, all other muscle tissues are equivalent to Level 13 Evolutionary Cells.

Whereas a Level 13 Rock-Horned Horse only has Evolutionary Meat at the upper limit of Level 13, with some still being Enhanced Meat.

They need some time to settle, to evolve most ordinary evolutionary cells within to Level 13.

This is also why multiple Level 13 Male Rock-Horned Horses cannot defeat the Mid-Stage Male leader.

Their true difference lies not in the upper limit of physique, but in the foundational lower limit.

And at the moment, the Level 14 Male Rock-Horned Horse, upon evolving to the mid-stage, most of the other horse meat also simultaneously evolved to Level 13 to carry Level 14 Evolutionary Source Material.

This evolutionary principle allows Lin Feng’s team of several evolvers to quickly complete the accumulation of the early stage.

By consuming Level 13 ordinary horse meat, accelerating the proliferation and division of evolutionary cells internally.

Increasing the limit power gradually, boosting all the way past three tons.

That is the upper limit of the early stage Level 13!

So, as Lin Feng sees it, in fact, each stage of evolution only has three major levels.

The minor levels in between are essentially consolidating and digesting the enhancement from the last qualitative evolution.

The development of things is composed of qualitative and quantitative changes.

Each qualitative change is the ultimate result of a quantitative change, also bringing overall quantitative development.

Otherwise, forcibly accelerating growth will only leave many flaws and eventually lead to collapse.

Now, he is to gradually accumulate the early-stage evolutionary quantitative changes through this batch of Level 13 horse meat.

Once becoming a Level 13 evolver, ingesting Level 14 Life Source Material…

Achieving the qualitative leap from the early to the mid-stage!

Becoming a powerful mid-stage evolver!
