Chapter 241 241: Level 4 Connection
As Yoze approached the paralyzed Wasp Monster, he was able to see more details in the designs of its body and noticed the high amount of detail when it came to the patterns on its wings. The eye-like pattern on its wings was incredibly detailed and, even up close, seemed to follow Yoze's gaze.
When he reached the 12 feet long Wasp Monster, he first placed his fingers on the Wasp Monster's body and did some light pokes to get a better sense of its body structure. After doing a quick 360 around the Wasp Monster's body, Yoze took a deep breath and began to use the Beast Human body cultivation method.
In a flash, his fingers seemed to disappear as Yoze rapidly poked around the Wasp Monster's body, drawing a deep buzz of satisfaction from the Wasp Monster. Even though it couldn't move, the Wasp monster could feel its own body slowly relaxing every time Yoze's fingers touched its body.
Though it tried to resist, it didn't take long before its resistance broke, and it began to accept the Beast Human body cultivation method. The moment the Wasp Monster's resistance broke, a slight connection between it and Yoze formed, stunning the Wasp Monster.
It hadn't felt a connection like this ever since it was born from the Wasp Queen. Even then, the connection between them never felt as direct as the connection and a stranger that was just its enemy a few minutes ago. With this new connection, the Wasp Monster didn't know how to feel and simply lowered its head, afraid to accidentally make eye contact with Yoze.
While the Wasp Monster's mind was in chaos from its new connection with Yoze, it didn't realize there was a reduction in the pressure of the spiritual energy suppressing the Wasp Monster. It allowed it more freedom in its movement, but this wasn't noticed by it, and Yoze wasn't going to remind it.
Instead, Yoze made use of this slight connection to try to understand and read the Wasp Monster while he continued to advance their connection through the Beast Human body cultivation method. After only an hour, he and the Wasp Monster were able to sense the first strand of inner vigor being produced in the Wasp Monster's body.
Knowing that he made it to the second level of the Beast Human body cultivation method, Yoze, and the Wasp Monster felt their connection deepen. Making the Wasp Monster feel more conflicted and unconsciously began to show it in its movements.
With his strengthened connection with the Wasp Monster, Yoze was able to sense that it was struggling with something. Seeing that he could understand the intentions better, Yoze knew that he had made the right decision and continued to massage every square inch of the Wasp Monster, stimulating more inner vigor to be produced.
Soon they were able to reach the third level of the Beast Human Body cultivation method, and the Wasp Monster felt the inner vigor in its body ravage its entire body before being absorbed into its flesh. With every strand of inner vigor that was absorbed into its flesh, it felt its body lighten up as if it was turning into a feather.
Even though its body hadn't grown with its breakthrough, the Wasp Monster could sense clearly that it was much stronger than before. Due to its emotional rollercoaster earlier, it hadn't paid attention to the fact that not only was it forming a connection with an enemy, but its enemy was making it stronger.
Even without testing its new powers, the Wasp Monster knew that if it had fought itself in the past, it would completely win without much difficulty. The power of simply being able to move faster was already a boost to its power since it mostly focused on making quick moments and attacks to kill its enemies.
So for Yoze, who had just fought it was now making it stronger made the Wasp Monster sense that its loyalty to the Wasp Queen quickly eroded. If nothing was done, it would completely fall into the clutches of Yoze and betray its old master.
Unfortunately, while the Wasp Monster knew that it shouldn't betray its old master since it prided itself in its loyalty, it simply didn't want to lose its connection with Yoze. Instead, it wanted their connection to become deeper, so it didn't put any resistance to Yoze's advances and tried its best to cooperate to make Yoze happy.
Sensing the Wasp Monsters had reached the third level of the Beast Human body cultivation method and had become even stronger compared to when he first became a first-rate martial artist, Yoze knew that if nothing went wrong that the Wasp Monster could kill Blood Masters with ease. From his predictions, the Wasp Monster should have been extremely strong before Yoze had helped it become even more terrifying.
Now that it has gotten a powerful boost in strength due to its inner vigor, it should be a tough opponent to beat, even for Martial Grandmasters. Of course, this was when he hadn't been able to see the full range of fighting ability from the Wasp Monster, so there was a high chance that it was stronger than he expected.
"How does this feel? Do you want to continue to the next level to deepen our connection and become even stronger?" Yoze said with a smile as he rubbed his hand on the Wasp Monster's fur, which had extremely tough armor underneath.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The Wasp Monster immediately nodded its head and shook its abdomen side to side as it firmly showed its intention for Yoze to continue. With their connection deepening further, Yoze was better able to understand the emotions and thoughts in the Wasp Monster's compound eyes and knew that it wanted to continue.
Even though his understanding of the Wasp Monster's dance and body language had shown any signs of improvement, Yoze knew that he could work on that later since he had now gained the loyalty of the Wasp Monster. After seeing the clear intentions of the Wasp Monster, Yoze smiled and began to slap the Wasp Monster's body and sent the majority of the inner vigor that he had gained from the Wasp Monster and sent it right back.
With each injection of inner vigor from Yoze, the Wasp Monster's body produced more inner vigor to match each injection which instantly sent everything into chaos. After a few minutes passed, the Wasp Monster felt as if it had been reborn anew and couldn't help but look at Yoze with fondness.
"There we go. We can continue to advance together in the future but right now. How about you show me what you wanted to tell me earlier?" Still curious about what the Wasp Monster wanted to tell him from its dance, Yoze asked the Wasp Monster.
"Buzz!"
Seeing that Yoze was still interested in what it wanted to show him before they developed a relationship, the Wasp Monster jumped into the air before doing half a front flip and shaking its body. Though he wasn't able to get all the details or much of it, Yoze was able to see that the Wasp Monster didn't feel that they shouldn't go.
"If you feel that it wouldn't be beneficial for me to go, then I won't go. I am mostly here to help Leah find a new home anyways, so if I don't need to go on another adventure, that would be ideal." Yoze said, after remembering that Leah was still standing on the dirt hill, trembling from fear.
"Oh yeah, Leah, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore. I just tamed this creature, so I won't try to eat you." Yoze tried his best to convince Leah that the Wasp Monster no longer had any interest in doing any harm. Unfortunately, the Wasp Monster seemed to have traumatized Leah so much that he made sure to keep a distance from it at all times.
"Are you sure? What if it is just pretending to have been tamed by you to lower your guard?" Leah said worriedly.
"Don't worry. I guarantee that it is safe. Plus, even if it is, I can react faster than it can make a move. So even if it attacks me, it will only spell its doom." Yoze said casually, with the Wasp Monster strongly nodding its head.
"Forget it, I won't say anything more about the Wasp monster, but can you add more defense to my new home? I don't feel that this forest is as safe as I originally thought."
"Sure, I can add some powerful bear traps and hidden pitfalls near the entrance and exit of your home so that only people and animals that have the intention of coming for you will fall for them."
"Unfortunately, that's the only thing I can do to your new home that won't instantly set off an alert to people that this place is base and not an ordinary hill." Yoze nodded his head as he looked at Leah to see if that was enough for him.
