Chapter 139: Chapter 139
"Who are you and why do you want to talk to me?" asked Evan while looking at the goblin without fear or trepidation. The aura surrounding the goblin didn’t faze him at and chatted with this monstrosity. Jersse and Adam were standing far away from the goblin, its presence alone scared them to no end.
[I can feel that you and I share a connection so I just wanted to talk. This is my first time with a host body so I’m excited about it. In the Dark Lands, all we did was sleep but here, we get Host Bodies.] said the goblin and Evan’s eyes involuntarily looked at the plant on the goblin’s head.
"The Dark Lands sound like a boring place so I’m not gonna ask about them. Tell me, what abilities do you share with me?"
[The abilities wee share? Well, I can fix the Host body as long as I’m not attacked so the Host Body can exist for as long as I remain inside this tiny Domain.]
"Can you have more than one Host Body and what happens when you control it outside the Domain?"
[For now, we’re still too weak to leave the Domain but once we grow up and little bit, we can leave the Domain but our powers won’t be as potent. As for the matter of having more than one Host Body, I actually haven’t tried it yet.] The goblin then looked at Jersse and Adam with interest.
"Don’t do anything to those two, they are my followers and follow me wherever I go, listening to all my commands."
[Wow, I also want to be your follower and follow you wherever you go. Can I be one of your followers?]
"Of course you can but since you’re still weak and can’t leave this place for now, you must get stronger so that when I come to fetch you in the future, you’re not too weak. Remember, only personal strength is most important, rely on yourself to get what you want."
[What if I continue to strengthen my Host Body and use it when I leave?]
You can also do that if you want, as long as it makes you stronger, now answer my questions. Can you have teleport through the shadows or can you become one with the darkness around you to hide from enemies?"
[I’ve never tried it. Let me try to do it now.] said the goblin then closed its eyes and seconds later, it disappeared and appeared in a different position. Disappeared again and appeared some place else and finally, it disappeared from sight then was visible in the same spot. Finally, it returned to its initial spot.
"How did you do that?"
[Simple. I thought intently about where I wanted to be and then appeared there. I also thought intently about hiding and hid in the darkness.]
"Alright, let me try it."
The carriage somewhere above the clouds was still travelling at full speed and inside, no one touched Zixin anymore and after such a long time, Zixin finally woke up feeling groggy with a heavy headache but as time went by, he got better and better and was soon back to normal, no more grogginess, no more headache.
He looked at everyone and everyone looked back at him. Unlike everyone else who received the Dark Elves Bloodline, his didn’t turn greyish, his eyes weren’t pitch black and he wasn’t handsome. But there was something different about him that the others couldn’t explain and they didn’t know what it was exactly.
Zixin also checked his situation and his mind went blank from shock. He’d completed the 2nd and 3rd Mysterious Energy Cycles and was now on the fourth with needed energy so vast, Zixin wasn’t sure he could fill up even ten percent of it. His range of communication and linking had increased by leaps and bounds, now covering an area of a 2 trillion kilometre radius.
He could feel the presence of insects from Non-Magical all the way to Rank 9 Magical Insects that he could control as he wished. Rank 10 and above were like nobles whom Zixin could only look at but not provoke. His blood had also changed and was now a mixture of dominant red and recessive yellowish green. His nails were now strong and curved like hooks and he could was now a professional climber like all insects are.
"Stop the carriage." said Zixin quickly.
"STOP THE CARRIAGE!" said Zixin in a high pitch voice and the carriage stopped then it slowly descended. Below them was an expansive land full of very tall, very thick and very old evergreen trees. This was a rainforest biome that continued endlessly and when the carriage reached floor, Zixin and the others were like ants in the giant’s world. The tree leaves were bigger than them, the grass was taller than them, even newly sprouted plants and herbs were taller, around three to four meters.
Crickets, birds and other lifeforms sang inside the forest, attracting mates or just telling the world that they still existed. Under the grass, Zixin and his group were just standing there, out in the open and not doing anything. Only Zixin’s one meter long antennae kept moving up and down.

"Wait for a little bit, they are coming." said Zixin with a smile.
"Who’s coming? This the Forest of Giants, everything in this place is larger than anything or anyone that exist outside this place except for the Giants territory. Tell me, who’s coming?" asked Gerald with a slightly nervous voice.
"I just told you to wait a little bit, you’ll see for yourself who I’m talking about." answered Zixin. Gerald was about to say something when the ground started shaking as if an earthquake or something very big was coming. After a little bit of time of patiently waiting, ’they’ finally came and terrifying with their large bodies and pincer like mandibles.
In front of Zixin, hundreds of thousands of ten, fifteen and twenty meters big reddish black ants with a toxic scent appeared in front of him. The Mana around these ants felt unstable full of destructive power. The queen ant was riding on her super soldier ants who were menacing with large and intimidating heads.
"Bomb Ants?! These are actually Bomb Ants! We’re dead, we’re absolutely dead!"
