Chapter 34
This round of evolution took noticeably longer—over two hours—before any signs of completion appeared.
Only after that did the remaining thirteen drones finally stabilize, their bodies and traits solidifying after the intense transformations.
The most surprising of all was the fifty-first drone, the one that had darted out at the last moment to consume the final drops of the bloodline mutation elixir.
Not only had it survived the deadliest first two phases, but it had also developed a trait none of the others possessed—wings.
Its wings were now almost completely transparent, nearly invisible to the naked eye.
But upon closer inspection with spiritual sense, one could detect an unbelievable toughness and a razor-sharp edge.
In fact, this single drone gave Qi Ping the strongest sense of danger out of all of them!
This was no small feat—Qi Ping was far from a rookie now. With the steady supply of Golden Marrow Bees, his cultivation had gradually approached the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Combined with the defenses of Bark Armor Technique and Wooden Shield Art, his combat prowess was nothing to scoff at.
Yet this single, still-evolving drone radiated such a lethal aura that it sent chills down his spine.
