Volume 19 Chapter 225 Absorption and Evolution

The guy who suddenly regained his human form instantly had his combat power rise by n levels. The Death Guard who had just chopped him into pieces was wiped out by him in the blink of an eye. But this guy didn't get much benefit. All the dead Death Guards turned into black sand and dispersed in the air in an instant. He couldn't expect to get a living cell from the Death Guards.

After the transformation was completed and all the death guards I sent were killed, the guy began to observe the surrounding situation. I could clearly see an anxious look on his face. Aren’t all my Death Guards killed? What was he so anxious about?

I was wondering when I suddenly saw the guy in my sight starting to move towards the laboratory after looking around for a while. Because the distance was not far to begin with, we no longer needed the ghost bug to help us monitor him after he left for more than ten minutes. From the top of the mountain where we are standing now, we can just see the guy walking out of the outer area of ​​​​Insect Valley and entering the inner area.

Unlike Corolla, this guy had obviously been here after an accident in the laboratory. He was not surprised at all by the swampy terrain here, and he could actually effortlessly avoid the areas where the more annoying bugs gathered. This shows that this guy is quite familiar with the environment here.

Watching the guy gradually approach the previous laboratory area, I was about to send Lilith out to kill him. Unexpectedly, before I could speak, the guy himself was in trouble first. The guy who had turned into a perfect man suddenly swayed while walking, and then he saw a piece of insect blade suddenly sticking out from the left side of his chest. Seeing the blade feet appear, the guy first frowned and stared at that place, and then saw the blade feet began to slowly shrink back, and finally disappeared into his body.

It was supposed to be the end of the matter, but before the guy took two steps, a big bump suddenly appeared on his back, and a section of the insect's abdomen protruded from the side of the big bump. Before he could do anything about the big bag on his back, his right arm began to rapidly inflate like an inflating balloon, and finally turned into a thick arm like a lotus joint. That's not all. After the arm changed, the middle part of his left leg suddenly collided and turned into a huge radish-like pile of meat. As a result, he could only jump on one leg.

"What's going on?" Seeing that guy's body seemed to be magic, there would be a bulge here and there, and then there would be a biological stump or something like that. Even I felt a little sick.

Lilith, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the guy and said: "It seems that there is something wrong with this guy's fusion gene. He cannot fully control his life characteristics. The current situation should be caused by the conflict between various biological genes in the body. of."

"So his fusion and devouring ability is lower than yours?"

"Devouring cannot be determined by simple abilities." Lilith said: "I am definitely the best in the world in the use of devouring genes, because I can retrieve the genetic characteristics of devouring organisms, absorb the useful parts of them, and fuse them into my own genes. In the fragments, the useless parts can also be temporarily stored, and when needed, you can choose directed evolution according to the situation. This is the origin of my transformation ability. However, although I have expertise in genetic screening and reuse, but swallowing In terms of speed, I don’t know who is faster, me or that guy, after all, there is no reference standard for this thing and it’s not easy to compare.”

"You mean that after devouring a creature, you can learn from the creature's strengths and weaknesses to strengthen yourself, but your devouring speed may not be as fast as his, right?"

Lilith nodded and said: "The reason why this guy is like this is because he cannot fully control the biological characteristics he absorbs. As a result, various animal limbs always appear on his body. Those things are not actually things he has not digested. Biological remains, but faulty parts grown out of his own body.”

I looked at the body of the guy below who was still rising and falling and said, "So if I send you down to eat against him, you might still be eaten by him?"

Lilith nodded again: "Theoretically, it is possible, but in fact, I think it is unlikely to happen."

"Are you so confident?"

"It's not a question of self-confidence, but a matter of ability characteristics. **The swallowing speed itself is determined by our genes. If that guy swallows faster than me, it only means that his genes are better than mine in this regard. However, once the two of us start to devour each other, we will inevitably absorb each other's genetic samples. I can quickly find out from his genes the gene that causes him to devour the other faster than me and merge it into my own genes. After that, I will have the same speed as him. Moreover, in addition to copying his genes, I can also consciously strengthen this ability according to certain genetic laws. So in the end, I will probably be faster than him. Fast, and even if he swallows part of my genes, he will not be able to use them at all because he is completely out of control."

"So you're not a guaranteed winner?"

"It can't be said to be a sure win. There is a worse situation where the gene that causes him to devour faster than me is actually an interference phenomenon caused by a mixture of multiple genes. If this is the case, I have to spend time adjusting myself. The genetic structure of the gene causes it to produce a similar interference phenomenon. This process may take a long time, and if he can swallow me whole before my adjustment is completed, then he will win. Of course, this possibility It's very small, because even if my swallowing speed is slower than his, it won't be much slower. It will probably take a while for him to swallow me whole just based on the swallowing speed that exceeds mine."

"It seems we can't let you go down directly!"

"Why?" Lilith looked at me puzzled and asked.

"Because you said yourself that you are not absolutely sure. If he absorbs your ability to control genes and becomes as strong as you, wouldn't I be causing trouble for myself?"

Lilith originally wanted to fight for it, but after hearing my words, she also hesitated. Finally, after thinking about him, she said: "Actually, it's not that we can't contact him. We just need to do an experiment."

"experiment?"

"Yes. Help me get a piece of his flesh and blood, and then I will test his genetic characteristics. This way we can know whether he has never found the gene that can control genes or whether he has no control at all."

"It's easy." After hearing Lilith's request, she waved directly. A ghost bug that was very close to the guy suddenly ran to the guy and bit him directly before turning around and running away. The guy's whole body is constantly changing now, and he has no time to care about the attack of this little bug. His only target is the entrance to the laboratory in front. It seems that he is in urgent need of something over there.

The ghost bug that attacked the guy ran towards me immediately after leaving the guy. After a while, it came to the top of the mountain and put the piece of meat it bit off on a glass plate that had been prepared. . Although the guy's body has the devouring attribute, the two forms of the ghost bug, one is the void state, which is different from the ghost, and the other is the diamond form, which is basically indestructible, so the ghost is the piece of meat. The insect had no choice but to be picked up obediently.

Looking at the small piece of meat on the glass plate, Lilith directly stretched her fingers to the top of the glass plate, and then saw that her fingers seemed to melt, and the skin began to stretch downwards. When this piece of skin formed After a ball of flesh that looked like a drop of water, the skin connecting the fingers to the ball of flesh began to gradually sag inwards and shrink until the connection was completely disconnected. The piece of meat that had lost its support detached from Lilith's fingertips and hit the piece of meat below that was brought back by the ghost bug.

When the two balls of flesh came into contact, there was no scary scene. They quickly connected together like two drops of water, and then merged into one ball. After a few seconds, the ball of flesh suddenly started to squirm, and then a large amount of bright yellow oily liquid began to leak out from the inside.

Lilith frowned immediately when she saw the liquid. She quickly stretched her fingers over the meat ball again, but this time instead of splitting a new meat ball, two drops of red blood dripped out. The red blood was immediately absorbed as soon as it touched the meat ball, and the yellow water that had just seeped out was also sucked back into the meat ball, and the meat ball began to squirm more violently. got up.

Just as we were observing the meat ball, the monster in the valley below had already walked into the entrance of the laboratory, but there was no other exit below, so we were not worried at all that he would run away. I guess he will run out again after he goes down and finds that we have emptied the inside.

Not long after that guy entered the laboratory, Lilith's lump of flesh finally got the results. After Lilith dripped another drop of blood, the wriggling of the mass of flesh gradually slowed down and finally stopped slowly. After seeing the meat ball completely still, Lilith finally showed a smile of victory. She stretched out her hand towards the meat ball, and the meat ball suddenly shrank and jumped from the ground to her palm. The moment it came into contact with her palm, the ball of flesh connected with her palm and became a whole. Then, the rising ball of flesh began to gradually collapse and shrink, like a deflated balloon. While the mass of flesh was gradually collapsing, Lilith was trembling with her head tilted back as if she had overdosed on drugs. If I hadn't been able to see from her sexual state that all her attributes were normal, I would have guessed that He had already started calling Xiaochun to give her first aid.

Although the reaction state was exaggerated, Lilith's changes were quite astonishing. Of course, the changes I'm talking about are not superficial changes. For a being like Lilith, changing her appearance makes no sense at all. She is just like an amoeba, changing into whatever she wants, so appearance is not an objective existence for her at all. The change I am talking about actually refers to inner change. While Lilith was going crazy, the attack power and defense values ​​on her attribute panel were jumping up like crazy. In just ten seconds, her attack power actually increased. Doubled two and a half times. In addition to the changes in attack and defense, Lilith also has an additional attribute in her attribute column called the swallowing attribute.

Lilith can originally strengthen herself by absorbing the flesh of other creatures, but her ability is not written in the attribute panel as "devour", but as "evolution". As Lilith herself said, her ability should actually be to screen the beneficial attributes in the gene fragments and add them to her own gene fragments, and directly save the attributes that are useless or currently appear to be harmful. This magical ability is Lilith's real ability, and swallowing other creatures is just a part of this "evolution" method and process. But things are different now. Lilith's attributes actually include a devouring attribute, and the introduction of this attribute is very awesome. There is only one sentence in the entire Devouring attribute: "Contact and absorb all organic substances whose active energy is no more than twice the original body, and can only absorb a small amount of inorganic substances."

The part of contact and absorption is easy to understand, which means that only what is touched can be swallowed, not what is not touched. This is the same situation as before and has not changed. The last part is easy to understand. It means that Lilith's ability is also effective on inorganic objects, but the effect is very average. As for the middle part, it’s actually easy to understand. This so-called vitality energy, converted into a data parameter in the game, is the sum of the current remaining health value plus the remaining magic value plus the remaining physical strength. For example, suppose a person has a maximum health value of 500, but currently only has 100 health points left due to injuries. His maximum magic power is 50, and now half of it has been used up. Finally, his physical strength, that is, endurance, is still Ten is left, so his current total vitality energy should be one hundred plus twenty-five plus ten, for a total of one hundred and thirty-five.

Once you understand what active energy is, the rest will be easy to understand. Just add these three attributes of Lilith and the opponent, then multiply Lilith's value by two, and use the remaining value to compare with the opponent's value. If Lilith's remaining value is high, the opponent will be eaten by her. And if the opponent's remaining value is higher, Lilith won't be able to chew him. Of course, being unable to chew means that it cannot be swallowed, but it does not mean that it cannot fight with the opponent. In addition to swallowing, Lilith can also fight through physical or magical attacks, but swallowing is more direct in comparison. It can not only destroy the opponent instantly, but also help herself replenish blood and increase magic.

As the world's number one beast tamer, I have done a lot of research on the matching of magic pets, so when I saw this attribute, my eyes suddenly lit up, because I had just matched Lilith. A special usage of .
