Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties
Chapter 277: In Search Of The Simbiora LianasIn order to decide which Species would be most useful to Devour, Cero and Raya had had to sit for quite some time on their way.
In the end, they decide on a couple to be made a priority, which include the tiny tiny trees which Cero went to find with Rea.
The reason for choosing it was rather obvious, as it was thought that it would complement Cero's regenerative ability, and it did.
Apart from that one, a couple more Species had been selected as a priority.
Lumen Vines.
Vines which grow along the cliffs and edges of water sources. They have long tendrils covered in bioluminescent pods that glow when prey approaches. The Lumen Vines are sensitive to both vibration and electrical signals, something that was sure to resonate with Cero's ability to detected electricity, his Electrical Perception Skill. Additionally, when prey comes too close, the vines constrict, releasing a paralyzing sap through their whiskers. It was thought that Devouring them could increase the paralyzing aspect of Cero's Poison, or, even better, give birth to a Skill that only paralyzes those touched by it(The Skill would then be Merged with Poison Production whenever necessary through Skill Merge but kept separate through Skill Storage).
The Blooming Spark is a Species that can be found in a different area of the Planet. The flower appears deceptively simple, with large, soft petals and a bright core. The Blooming Spark possesses a unique ability on its home Planet to absorb and store the energy of lightning strikes in its petals. It uses this stored energy not only to fuel its own growth but also to emit short-range pulses that temporarily disrupt the nervous systems of nearby organisms. The reason why it was chosen was obvious. The Blooming Spark could complement many of the abilities obtained by Cero on Serolia, such as Electrical Storage or Electrical Discharge.
Ironside BarkWillows resemble old trees with trunks of petrified bark. They are immovable to the naked eye. On the surface, at least. Their roots constantly shift beneath the surface in search of minerals. The Ironside's bark is nearly impervious to damage through an incredibly interesting hardening ability. When one of them detects a change in the environment or nearby danger, the trees initiate a rapid biochemical reaction that transforms their bark into an almost impenetrable material. Whether that material would turn out tougher than the Graniliths' skin or the remains of the Paru's shell remains to be seen. In any case, the ability to instantaneously add a layer of protection could not be rejected.
'As far as Species that'll help with combat and recon, that's it really. There are others, but those will mostly bring changes to my body, not gain me new Skills…'
But combat and recon weren't all there was to think about.WhimOrchids are known for their stunning petals in shades of deep blue and violet, and possess the potent ability to release pheromones that manipulate the behavior of nearby creatures. When threatened or during pollination, the WhimOrchid emits pheromones that can calm or even lure. The WhimOrchids have been studied a lot, and their efficacity is undeniable. The reason is because they do not simply produce pheromones. They can detect them, then learn to produce a similar blend and release it. This way, WhimOrchids give the illusion that an area is safe or even familiar to newcomers. How the ability to manipulate one's pheromones would or could be used, Cero wasn't so sure yet.
The Dreamwhisperer Ferns were a no-brainer after Cero's time on Tyl. Growing in dense, misty forest pockets, the Dreamwhisperer Fern has evolved to defend itself through a potent hallucinogenic spore cloud. When disturbed, it releases a fine mist of spores that, when inhaled, cause disorientation, visual distortions, and even vivid hallucinations in creatures. The effects can last for hours, during which the victim is rendered harmless to the plant. The usefulness was more than obvious. In combat, and outside. Since it would be soon that Cero would enter civilization and be surrounded by many more intelligent beings, abilities that could mess with the mind would come in handy.
"Should we kiss goodbye?"
"Hm… Only if you promise to stop acting like this."
"You got a problem with me wanting to kiss you?" Cero asked with a raised eyebrow. "You seemed to wanna kiss a lot while you were cumming earlier."
"Yeah, yeah." Rea rolled her eyes, moved closer, and deposited a kiss on his lips. "Just… Stop with all this weird stuff, alright? I'm your little bitch, and I'm happy to be your little bitch."
"Fine." Cero chuckled as he slapped Rea's ass, causing it to jiggle. "Go get some sleep, my little whore."
"That I will." Rea smiled. "Try to come fuck me while I'm asleep. It'll do us some good. Getting back to basics, you know?"
"You're really into that, huh?" Cero turned away. "I'll think about it."
The two had walked back to the spaceship after a couple of hours of exploring(And a couple of hours of fun).
"See ya!" Rea shouted as she waved, watching him walk away.
She stared at him for a bit longer, before turning back towards the spaceship.
'It was actually nice talking… Hmm…' Rea's eyes narrowed. She quickly shook her head. 'Nope! Don't let that sink in! Move on!'
Meanwhile, Cero was in deep thought.
'I can tell where most of those Species are. Raya did say that we would land at the perfect spot, and we did. The most important… The one that I want most though…' He sighed.
Indeed, there was no way of knowing where that last one could be found.
Simbiora Lianas.
'If I can gain a Skill from those… It would make everything so incredibly perfect.'
There was only one problem.
The Planet that the crewmates were currently on was inhabited by 99% Flora.
There are some animals, but they are so incredibly rare that one really cannot count on finding them.
Hence why not much is known about the animals of Florina, just like there isn't much known about the Simbiora Lianas. Only theories. But theories that Raya thought were convincing, and that Cero thought more than advantageous enough to blindly trust, even if they end up proven wrong later on as the possibility of it being true would be more than extraordinary.
"That would be an absolute game-changer. But these are only found in the areas where there are animals around. Well, more like animals swarm the areas where this Species is located… There are no animals on 99% of the Planet… I'll have to search blindly, but it will be rather complicated.
Simbiora Lianas. A vine-like species that has developed the extraordinary ability to transfer certain properties to any living object it touches. The Simbiora's tendrils are capable of imparting temporary traits like enhanced durability, heightened flexibility, or even regenerative abilities. Simbiora Lianas are often seen as the epitome of symbiotic relationships, as animals and beasts feel safer around the Simbiora through the strength that it grants them.

'A couple of Skills linked to electricity got stronger. That Blooming Spark will be useful. Since it can emit, I should probably eat some more.'
Still, despite some Skills having grown stronger, Cero couldn't help but sigh.
'The Simbiora Lianas... Theoretically, if it has the ability to give certain properties to the creatures that live close to it through contact, then I would gain the ability to give certain properties as well... A Skill that would allow me to increase the strength of Raya or Rea, or that would allow me to even give them access to my Skills... If I can give them access to my Skills, as in my physical abilities of course, then for Lith... That could probably allow her to talk...'
Sigh!
"No need to get discouraged though." Cero muttered as he placed his hands on his hips and stretched. "The possibility is enough to hype me up. If I find them now, then great. If I don't, I'll just come back after we've been to Wor. At worst, I'll pay people to locate them. Yeah! I'll be rich as fuck from Serolia's crystals. I'll be able to pay for whatever I want!"

"You're back?"
"Yeah..." Rea yawned. "Missed me?"
"..." Roka's gaze moved from right to left. "Did he not come with you?"
"Huh? No, gone to look for stuff. Why?"
"N-Nothing." Roka shrugged. "Just asking. It's important to know where my crewmates are located at all times.
"Right..." Rea's eyes narrowed. "He isn't a crewmate of yours though."
Just as Roka was about to retort, Rea raised a hand and let out another yawn. She was completely disinterested in talking about it.
Incredibly tired from the fun time she and Cero had had, all she wanted to do was collapse on her bed.
"He didn't wait for you." Rea said as she walked past the Commander. "You can go find him though. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"No thanks. Why would I?" Roka answered confidently. 'If I run, can I catch up to him?'
