The villa's second floor, Mu Xiao and An Rongru stood in the grand hall littered with corpses scattered all over the place. The luxurious furniture, after a fierce battle, had turned into a pile of trash. The entire scene looked as if it had been ravaged by a storm.

  Because most of the security personnel were shot and killed by the Pang Xuejun faction with energy guns, many of the wounded did not bleed much, but had fatal burns. There was no strong smell of blood in the air, but standing in front of a pile of naked corpses in this dark environment without electricity, there was always an eerie feeling that made one's hair stand on end.

  "What are we doing back here?" An Rongru felt uneasy all over, although she had seen dead bodies before, but those naked male and female corpses made her feel a kind of shame in her heart. The surrounding atmosphere was also filled with a gloomy and ominous feeling, making her feel anxious, so she tightly grasped Mu Xiao's arm to give herself some sense of security.

  "It's good that they didn't handle the corpses here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to prove my abilities." Mu Xiao stood beside a new human corpse, slightly tilting her head, and looked at An Rongru who was holding her arm. She said: "What I'm going to do next might make you uncomfortable. If you choose not to look, I don't mind, but my abilities will eventually be exposed to those close to me anyway. So, I suggest you take a look. Of course, if you have a different opinion about me after seeing it, I won't mind either, because you'll definitely get used to it later."

  "Hmm..." An Rongru raised her elegant and refined face, her beautiful eyes gazing at Mu Xiao with deep affection, saying: "I will control my emotions. Actually, no matter what changes you undergo, I just hope you'll always treat me well, and I'll always be by your side."

  "I hope you only place your kindness and trust in me, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss someday." Mu Xiao lifted her delicate chin, her smooth and elegant face inches away, with her dark eyebrows, jade-like nose, and red lips that shone like jade. As she bashfully closed her beautiful eyes, he lightly kissed her, making contact with her full, soft, fragrant lips, stirring her small tongue, a sweet and sticky flavor filled his mouth, and he also caught the scent of a mature woman's fragrance from her plump body.

  Muxiao only wanted to stir up An Rongru's sweet and intimate feelings, not thinking about what would happen next, affecting her own uneasy feeling. After all, her innate ability was a mysterious type of precognition, if some changes occurred in her feelings of unexpectedness, it might affect her intuitive precognition.

  Because she had a premonition, but it was limited to only sensing the people closest to her. Mu Xiao had a one-night physical relationship with her, and this intimacy was neither deep nor shallow, it could also be said that their relationship was still in the honeymoon period, not as close as her relationship with Jian Huan Yao, so she had a strong feeling, knowing that her daughter was not dead.

  In the future new world, this kind of intuition is called "ill omen premonition", which can predict the misfortune of people close to her. If she could predict Mu Xiao's misfortune in advance, Mu Xiao would undoubtedly have an extra guarantee for his life.

  Muxiao is now trying to deepen his relationship with An Rongru, although he has suspicions of using her ability, but Muxiao does not exclude her in his heart and can see that she is a gentle and beautiful woman who can be cultivated into his trusted confidante.

  A sweet kiss, An Rongru's nervous heart was pressed down, Mu Xiao slightly left her fragrant lips, his large hand gently stroked her delicate and beautiful face, her jade cheeks were like being dyed with red clouds, her skin as smooth as snow and water, almost dripping with water.

  "In this era of great evolution, there are all sorts of strange abilities. Just as darkness and light coexist, so do good and evil powers. However, sometimes evil is used for righteous purposes, while good is used for wicked ones. Therefore, it's not the ability itself that's good or evil, but rather the user who decides whether to use it for good or evil."

  Mu Xiao withdrew his hand that had been stroking An Rong's soft and delicate jade-like cheek, lowered his head to look at the security guard's corpse on the ground, and suddenly activated his psychic powers. A sharp, sword-like energy pierced through the location of the heart in the security guard's corpse, excavating a deep red heart dripping with fresh blood, as if it contained the essence of thick, rich blood.

  "The blood pearls were extracted from the hearts of those monsters, but now we're extracting them from our own kind..." An Rongyu looked at Mu Xiao with a gentle expression, "Are you worried that I won't be able to accept extracting blood pearls from these new humans? After all, they aren't monsters, and doing this is a bit inhumane."

  "The new human doesn't have things like blood pearls, because the new human is the most stable and successful evolutionary body, all sources will be integrated into the genetic bloodline." Mu Xiao looked deeply at An Rongru, saying: "So, this heart isn't taking out something else, but rather extracting the fresh blood energy contained within."

  Mù xiāo said, with a surge of spiritual power, his heart spewed out multiple streams of thick blood plasma. The spiritual power instantly transformed into an invisible large bowl, catching all the flowing blood plasma and forming a bowl of surging deep red blood source.

  "Must...must we drink all this blood?"

  "No, just me drinking it, you don't have to drink." Mu Xiao noticed her expression and was worried that she couldn't accept this swallowing ability, but when she heard that only one person had to drink it, and she herself didn't have to drink it at all, her expression suddenly eased up, as if she had let out a sigh of relief.

  She was originally afraid of drinking human blood herself, so she became worried.

  "I have the ability to absorb, and blood is one of the sources that enhance my power." Mu Xiao asked calmly. "What do you think about this kind of ability I possess?"

  "It feels a bit weird, but it's just my physiological reaction, like when I take those blood pearls, and I couldn't accept that I'm also drinking human blood." An Rongru's face turned red with shame as she said in a low voice: "Actually, you drinking mine is fine, as long as you don't force me to drink it too."

  "That's good." Mu Xiao put down his concerns and said calmly, "I won't force you to do the same thing as me, after all, absorbing blood isn't something every new human can handle."

  Muxiao didn't know if he could absorb the new human's blood energy, but since he could absorb the extreme blood energy of the mutant, why couldn't he absorb the stable and high-quality blood energy of the new human?

  Moreover, the blood of some variant beasts is also a great tonic. If we put aside human morality, the flesh of the new humans who have undergone strengthening is also a great tonic food. However, those who retain their humanity cannot eat their own kind. But in the future era of great evolution, there are some evil and strange new humans who take the extreme path of evolution by devouring the flesh of their own kind. Yet, only a tiny minority of these evil and strange new humans can survive, while the others will either die from genetic backlash or be unable to ascend due to twisted souls.

  The blood of the new human is not randomly absorbed, because the new human has a proprietary blood gene that fixes the characteristics of a new human. Unlike pure-blooded substances like Blood Pearls, which anyone can absorb and ingest, if a new human's own blood gene does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate it, recklessly absorbing another new human's blood gene will cause conflict between the two blood genes, leading to a decline in evolutionary level. Just as each person has different blood types and cannot randomly input different types of blood, the blood genes of new humans are even more stringent. After evolution, their own blood genes are unique and completely non-replicable, unless they have the ability to assimilate other blood genes.

  The phagocytic property contained in the Xue Mai genetic gene is that it has this kind of assimilative compatibility.

  Since An Rongru had the psychological preparation and acceptance, Mu Xiao did not hide his use of this kind of devouring ability that even he himself felt was eerie. For evolution, as long as one could cross the bottom line of their soul and humanity, they could go to any extreme.

  He focused his mind, and the blood source floating in mid-air transformed into a deep red bloodline, which was drawn into his mouth by his mental power. The fresh and dense blood floating in mid-air gradually fell into his abdomen, quietly waiting for the changes that would be fed back from his body.

  In a short while, Mu Xiao's body blood became restless and turbulent, as if foreign blood had entered the territory of his own blood, triggering an instinctive rejection and resistance. As the foreign blood flowed throughout his body, the turbulence grew greater, with a surge of swelling blood energy wildly crashing about, his skin turning a dark red color, with a feeling of bursting and tearing in his blood vessels.

  The wooden Xiao's blood gas surged to the top of his head, his face turned bright red, and was covered with a network of hideous blood vessels. His heart beat out a loud, pounding rhythm, each heartbeat sounding like a drumbeat in his ears. Almost every part of his body had activated its ferocity, as if a fierce monster had risen up and engulfed the foreign blood, assimilating it into his own blood, transforming it into a powerful nourishing energy.

  An Rongru tightly grasped his arm, her eyes worried, not daring to speak and disturb him. But seeing Mu Xiao's calm expression, she slightly put down her fearful emotions. In fact, she didn't know that at this moment, Mu Xiao's entire body was in pain like being pricked by needles, but Mu Xiao had a willpower as strong as steel, so the pain was still within his tolerance, which is why he could maintain an unchanged expression.

  The turbulent blood energy slowly recovered its calmness, and the hematopoietic stem cells began to phagocytose the nutrients of foreign blood energy, assimilating them into a part of their own blood.

  Mushan clearly felt that his body's blood and energy were constantly increasing, his vitality had increased a lot, his muscle endurance, explosive power, muscle strength, cellular self-healing ability... and other physical data had all been upgraded to some extent. His bloodline genes had undergone balanced optimization in all aspects, and the resonance frequency had also increased by two levels.

  "Gene resonance is secondary, optimizing physique is fundamental." Mu Xiao was very satisfied that he had discovered the ability to absorb new human bloodlines, achieving the characteristic of strengthening his own physique.

  He didn't have full confidence in absorbing the new human bloodline to make it his own, but he thought of a powerful figure from the future era, "The Blood Queen", who also had the ability to absorb new human blood and optimize herself. So, Mu Xiao had the same idea, if "The Blood Queen" could do it, then so could he, after all, his devouring ability should be above hers.

  This is indeed a legendary formula created by the mysterious Bloodline Devourer.

  ……

  "Is your body all right?" An Rongru's gentle and watery eyes sparkled with concern as she asked.

  "I'm fine, my strength has improved a bit." Mu Xiao looked at her beautiful and elegant face, filled with sincere expression, his heart moved, he reached out to gently stroke her soft cheek, wanting to cultivate this feeling.

  Turning to the other two new human corpses, Mu Xiao again used his mind power to extract two bright red hearts, extracting the dense blood energy inside, and swallowed it into his abdomen like a cow drinking water. The more violent and restless blood energy, like a group of fierce beasts, surged forward to conquer those foreign blood energies...
