Without hesitation, the moment the system prompt sounded, Su Bai chose to start the evolution.
"Ding! This evolution allows you to choose Mimic Evolution or to forgo Mimic Evolution and continue the original evolution method."
"Choose Mimic Evolution!"
There was no doubt about this choice.
Enhancing his body's evolution with Gene Points could certainly increase Su Bai's power, but he believed the strength boost from Mimic Evolution would far surpass that of the normal evolution.
With Su Bai's choice, all Gene Points and Evolution Points on his second panel were consumed.
However, this time, unlike previous evolutions where virtual images appeared before his eyes, his vision simply darkened and he lost consciousness.
Mimic Evolution—a newly introduced evolution method.
Without detailed information, Su Bai could only guess how this evolution would unfold. The only certainty was that after this evolution, his power would increase further!
Inside the cave, the Little Worker Ant gently flicked its antennae, sensing Su Bai lying still and unconscious at the cave's bottom.
A faint wave of thought radiated from it.
"Rest... rest?"
"Not afraid..."
"I... protect..."
The antennae moved again. The Little Worker Ant, now over half a meter long yet still delicate compared to Su Bai, slowly crawled over and laid beside him.
Minutes later, the Little Worker Ant lifted its head and inched closer to Su Bai.
This repeated until the two were side by side, and the Little Worker Ant was content and calm.
It lay quietly next to Su Bai, its dark eyes fixed tightly on the deep cave entrance as if on guard.
After a long time, a faint thought wave once again spread from the Little Worker Ant.
"Eat..."
"Will... grow bigger..."
"Can... protect... you..."
A piece of magical equipment was dragged over. The Little Worker Ant looked up at Su Bai, then at the cave entrance, and lightly bit down on the magical item with its already razor-sharp Pincer Fang.
...
After an unknown span of time, Su Bai's consciousness gradually returned.
Light slowly filled his vision, and he could finally observe his surroundings.
Still deep in the cave, only two of the original four Frost Wolf corpses remained, and just one two-handed greatsword was left of the three magical items. The blade bore dozens of small tooth marks.
In front of him were a dozen fresh corpses—Frost Wolves, Fire Rabbits, lizards, and even a humanoid with water-blue skin covered in coarse fish scales.
But the Little Worker Ant was nowhere to be seen!
Had a powerful monster invaded and captured or even killed the Little Worker Ant? Su Bai's heart raced.
Just as he was about to rush out of the cave to search, a small figure slowly crawled inside.
It was the Little Worker Ant.
Excited at Su Bai's awakening, it hurried to his side, placing a monster corpse it carried in its mouth down. A thought wave spread from it:
"I... hunted..."
"For you... eat... not hungry..."
Thanks to the Vassal relationship between himself and the Little Worker Ant, Su Bai quickly understood what it meant.
This Mimic Evolution had put him to sleep for two full days.
At first, the Little Worker Ant had stayed quietly in the cave as ordered.
But after a day, it could no longer stay still.
It had already consumed half of the four Frost Wolf corpses and two of the magical items, leaving only the two-handed greatsword. No food would be left if it kept eating.
Perhaps continuing the habit from the ant nest, fearing Su Bai might wake up hungry, the Little Worker Ant hurried out to hunt.
So when Su Bai awoke, the dozen or so fresh corpses in front of him were the result of the Little Worker Ant's hard work all day.
A warm feeling blossomed in his heart.
Su Bai gently patted the Little Worker Ant and reassured it before checking the gains from his evolution.
First, his size.
This evolution had expanded Su Bai's body to a massive two meters long. Even lying down, he nearly reached one meter in height, beginning to take the shape of a colossal beast.
Next, attribute growth.

Strength rose from 107 to 180, agility from 75 to 130, constitution from 80 to 150, and spirit from 50 to 100.
This evolution gave Su Bai a total attribute gain of 248 points!
According to his current Attribute Template, it would take leveling up 5 times to gain such a large attribute boost!
One evolution doubled his power!
Moreover, after this evolution, all three of his Resistance Skills could be upgraded again.
Spending 3 Soul Points, Su Bai immediately raised his resistance skills from intermediate to advanced, further reducing damage from those elemental spells.
"No wonder it's called Mimic Evolution. The power gained from a single evolution matches one or two months of hard work!"
Excited, Su Bai couldn't help but think to himself.
Suddenly, he froze.
"Mimic, mimic..."
"The attribute gains are just a result of evolution. But mimicry..."
Countless pieces of information flooded his mind, and he finally understood.
"So this is what Mimic Evolution really is!"
"So..."
"Come forth, Second Form!"
