When Gu Yue saw Zhang Heng receiving the lunch box, his first thought was to escape.
But then he thought - where to escape?
This is the base camp of the Cerebrates. Although there are dozens of passages, they are all guarded by mutated insects. It will definitely be a tragedy if you get out. Instead of facing those ferocious mutated insects, no matter how you look at Gu Yue, you feel that the Cerebral Worms in front of you seem to be easier to bully.
"Fight!" Gu Yue gritted her teeth slightly and immediately rolled to Zhang Heng's side. He reached out and pulled Zhang Heng's sleeve, and sure enough, the scalpel fell out.
At noon, Gu Yue noticed that Zhang Heng's version of Ye Shenyue put the scalpel at the fold of his sleeve, seemingly to facilitate a sneak attack, but now it was more convenient for him.
At this time, the brain worm also noticed Gu Yue's movements, and immediately stretched out its tentacles to pat Gu Yue's head. Although the brain worm seemed weak, its attack power was actually not bad. If it was hit by this tentacle, Gu Yue would definitely
Brains splattered all over the floor.
But after all, Gu Yue had been working as a bait for a year, and had already mastered the ability to escape and dodge. When he saw the tentacles coming, he immediately rolled aside to avoid the tentacles' attacks.
"Damn bug, look at my little ancient flying knife!" Gu Yue sat up suddenly, her eyes flashing fiercely.
The scalpel shot out fiercely from his hand, like a white comet that sank into the head of the brainworm.
The brain of the brainworm is divided into two parts, namely the main brain and the knowledge storage brain. The main brain of the brainworm is very small, but it is its real brain, and the big head behind the main brain is actually used to store knowledge. It absorbs various
The brain of living things, and then store the knowledge extracted from it in the back.
Gu Yue's scalpel hit the main brain of the brain worm. The knife was very fast and precise, and the brain worm had no time to dodge before being shot.
But even if the brain worm dodges, Gu Yue will still shoot it. Gu Yue has been working as a bait for a year. Not only is he very good at escaping and dodging, provocation is also a necessary part. Some mutant beasts will give up after chasing him halfway.
, at this time, Gu Yue would pick up stones on the ground and throw them at the mutant beasts, thus irritating the mutant beasts. Gradually, Gu Yue gained the ability to hit the target with perfect accuracy. The stones he threw would hit no matter how the mutant beasts dodge, which was extremely frustrating.
The mutated beast naturally chased him until Gu Yue led it to the designated place.
It is estimated that neither Zhang Heng nor Brain Worm thought that they could be killed so easily. Zhang Heng's death was useless, Brain Worm's death was unjust, and one person and one insect were going to the underworld to receive lunch together at this moment.
Gu Yue had no idea that he had accidentally hit the main brain of the brain worm. His idea was very simple. The brain of the brain worm was too big and a small scalpel would not be of much use, so he chose to shoot the smaller one.
The brain worm was killed by accident.
"Dead brain worm, if you want to suck grandpa's brains, there is no way." Gu Yue scolded and circled around the brain worm, mentally guarding against the brain worm's sneak attack.
When he circled around until he felt dizzy, he finally realized something was wrong. He stepped forward cautiously, then poked the soft body of the brainworm, and then poked again...
"Dead?" Gu Yue said in surprise. He had already thought of the flying knife he shot, but this was too fake.
But the death of the brain worm was indeed a big surprise. Gu Yue first moved Zhang Heng's body away, and then pulled out the scalpel from the brain worm's wound.
"This brain worm should be considered a big boss. I don't know if what Chu Xuan said is true." Gu Yue was a little excited and a little uneasy. If there is indeed a crystal-like substance in the brain worm, then there is hope for him to stand up. But
At the same time, he was extremely afraid of having his hopes dashed.
However, Gu Yue would never let go of this opportunity. He took a deep breath and used a scalpel to cut open the main brain of the brain worm. He was not afraid of getting dirty, so he directly reached into the brain and groped for it.
"Yes!" Gu Yue opened his eyes suddenly, and then he took out a piece of ruby from the main brain of the brain worm.
This piece of ruby is very smooth and does not touch blood or brain matter. When Gu Yue takes it out, it flashes with a faint red mist.
Gu Yue was excited at first, then laughed, tears of laughter came out. He could not forget the nightmare year in the past. He escaped from the mouths of mutated beasts countless times and woke up from nightmares countless times. This ruby was his
hope.
After getting excited, Gu Yue began to explore how to use ruby . At first, he cut his fingers and dripped blood on the ruby but this method did not work now because ruby does not stain blood. Then he put ruby on
Placed on the forehead, the ruby shows no sign of integrating into the body.
After trying dozens of methods, Gu Yue decided to swallow Hong Yu.
He calmed down at first, and then sat cross-legged on the spider silk. He knew that once he swallowed the ruby, there would be no way back.
Looking at the ruby in her hand, Gu Yue took a deep breath, opened her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. The ruby was oval and only the size of a quail egg, so Gu Yue could still swallow it.
After swallowing the red jade, Gu Yue waited anxiously. Soon there was a burning sensation in his stomach, and he was immediately overjoyed. Although the burning made him feel very painful, he didn't care at all.
Then the burning sensation spread all over his body, and Gu Yue began to twitch all over no matter how hard he endured it. His skin was as red as a cooked hairy crab, and the sweat on his body was evaporated directly into water vapor!
"Ah!" Finally he couldn't help shouting, and a bony tail began to grow from his tailbone, and it grew section by section. It was an indescribable pain. Gu Yue felt every move
Seconds are so long. Others say that a day is like a year, but for him, a second is like a year!
After a long time, the pain finally subsided. Gu Yue lay on the ground panting violently, and then an indescribable feeling of hunger came. Gu Yue subconsciously controlled the newly born tail to insert into the brain worm's body and began to suck the brain worm.
of brain.
After Gu Yue sucked up the brain worms, he went to sleep directly. He no longer had any extra energy to deal with his own safety issues.
He slept for a whole day and night. Fortunately, the mutant creatures around him subconsciously did not dare to come near this place, so he was not eaten by the mutant creatures while sleeping.
"I'm finally alive." After waking up, Gu Yue felt refreshed and couldn't help but smile.
Gu Yue stood up and jumped. His current physique was three times that of before, and this was not the main direction of mutation.
Now he has a total of three abilities, namely phagocytosis, self-optimization, and parasite production.
The ability to devour depends on his tail. He only knows a lot of information after devouring the brain worm's 'knowledge storage brain'. What surprised Gu Yue the most is that the brain worm can actually deduce how humans will evolve after swallowing its ruby.
No matter what ability he has, Gu Yue therefore does not need to explore his own abilities on his own.
As for self-optimization, after he devours other life forms, his body will automatically optimize itself based on genetic compatibility. In other words, his current body has unlimited possibilities for evolution, and can even evolve into a god-like existence.
The parasite is a creature similar to an alien. Gu Yue can use its tail to inject the parasite into the body of other creatures. Then the parasite will devour the living body, and then grow into an even more terrifying creature, and completely inherit
The advantages and abilities of that life form.
The parasites are completely loyal to Gu Yue, so as long as there is enough time, Gu Yue can use the parasites to create a terrifying army of insects. However, now Gu Yue can only produce two parasites every month, and there may be more in the future.
