The corpse of the Soul Collector was too massive, and even in its giant state after turning into Death Powder, it still couldn't be completely swallowed whole.
Using its mouthparts, it ground down the Soul Collector's corpse little by little, ingesting it, a process that was exceedingly slow.
Lin Shen stood by, drinking the Mutated Base Mutation Fluid he had just obtained, as his watch continually displayed the message: "Ingesting Base Mutation Fluid, Base Mutation Rate +0".
It wasn't until the effects of Evolution Theory kicked in that he finally started to see the message: "Base Mutation Rate +1".
As Lin Shen drank the Base Mutation Fluid, he pondered the Rod Skill he had learned from the angler.
With Yi Jingren's guidance, Lin Shen had gained a deeper understanding; the Rod Skill was a blend of firmness and flexibility, but the focus was not on the firmness or the flexibility, but rather on one word: burst.
