RPAGF Chapter 71 Human Silkworm
Chapter 71 Human Silkworm
Miao Yin refers to children's flying cars.
This amusement ride is quite large, with a cylindrical support in the middle, from which twelve levers extend. The other end of each lever is connected to a water jet car that children can sit on and move up and down.
Now, only three of the twelve flying cars remain, broken and dilapidated. The center of the circular support pillar has inexplicably bulged out, and the metal sheet has been squeezed and deformed.
Tu Hao stepped forward, and a slight sound, as if sensing danger, was heard, but then stopped.
A hint of doubt flashed across his face.
I've never encountered a situation like this before.
He stretched out his wolf claws, grabbed the deformed iron sheet on the support, and pulled hard.
"Fuck-"
He ripped the piece of metal off, and inside was a sleeping mutant!
The deformed human was currently encased in a transparent cocoon with its eyes closed.
It seemed to have merged with the silkworm, its skin turned snow-white, and the area below its head swelled up, growing rings of patterns like a silkworm. The places where silkworms originally grew hands and feet had become human hands and feet. Its head still retained some human shape, but its mouth had become the black mouthparts of a silkworm.
These silk threads are all spun from its mouth. Perhaps one day, it will also transform into a butterfly, just like a real silkworm.
Faced with such a deformed person, Tu Hao dared not make a move rashly.
This is too random. It's asleep now, but who knows if it will wake up at the slightest touch and start killing indiscriminately.
When Miao Yin saw this strange, deformed human for the second time, she still couldn't figure it out.
Theoretically speaking, mutant humans do not have the concept of sleep. They only enter a quiet, dormant state when they have not eaten for a long time and when nothing in their surroundings attracts their attention. They will only wake up when someone passing by makes a sound.
But this one in front of us seems to be undergoing some kind of evolution through "sleep".
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for her to determine the other party's level.
“Give it a try, do it,” Miao Yin said.
"You want to use me as a stepping stone, don't you?" Tu Hao said.
The same thing happened with the previous Huang Jing mutant. The other party clearly had the ability, but insisted on sending him to explore and find weaknesses. After he was crippled, the other party would then exploit those weaknesses to attack.
"That's what happens when you're my subordinate."
"Who are your subordinates!"
“I say so.” Miao Yin’s expression turned colder. “Perhaps if you burn the curse, you’ll admit it.”
Seeing that the other party was threatening him again, Tu Hao cursed hundreds of times in his heart.
But seeing the curse was truly painful, the kind of pain that even he couldn't resist at all.
Looking at the strange cocoon in front of him, he thought to himself that he couldn't escape it today; he was bound to run into it no matter what.
"It can't be that unlucky, that it would really transform into a butterfly with just one touch," Tu Hao murmured softly.
However, it's hard to say. Abnormal life forms are ever-changing, and encountering one is not necessarily a bad thing.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Upon hearing this, a glint of inspiration flashed in Miao Yin's mind.
Metamorphosis from a cocoon into a butterfly?!
"Wait! Don't touch it yet!" Miao Yin called out to him.
Tu Hao: "...?"
He was just about to tear open the cocoon when he heard her words and immediately withdrew his hand.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Come back first, let me think about it some more." Miao Yin's brain started working quickly.
Tu Wuxin's casual remark reminded her that one of the Ten Scarlet Calamities was called Lone Wind White Moth.
After the silkworm emerges from its cocoon, it becomes a moth.
Could it be such a coincidence? Did they brush past a scarlet calamity without even realizing it?
The Lone Wind White Moth is the most docile of the Scarlet Calamities. It lives in its own designated forest and almost never ventures out. As long as someone enters its territory, it will not attack.
This is also the only mutant that will actively eat plants.
Miao Yin did not know its origin, and she could not be completely sure that the silkworm in front of her was the future Lone Wind White Moth.
But this mutant is quite special. If it evolves into the Crimson Catastrophe, Miao Yin feels it would be reasonable.
After all, even mutants need some talent to reach the pinnacle; eating is just one step in the process, just like the Laughing Slave, who was far ahead in evolution.
Even if this mutant doesn't reach this level, it probably won't be easy for anyone in the future.
We can start with a small experiment.
Miao Yin pondered.
The price was a green crystal core.
The familiar alarm reappeared in her hand. Miao Yin moved a little further away from the children's toy car before pressing the alarm.
"So that noise in the supermarket was also your doing. I thought it was a smoke alarm. No wonder it stopped after a short while," Tu Hao said, looking at the little thing.
"This is a very convenient thing."
Especially in attracting deformed people.
Not long after, the two mutants who attacked them in their previous life reappeared.
"One for each of us. The crystal core you dug out is yours, how about that?"
Miao Yin isn't currently lacking in green crystal cores, so Tu Hao could strengthen the Crying Wolf first.
“...Okay.” This deal was acceptable, and Tu Hao could accept it, but it was a bit surprising that she would say such a thing.
Tu Hao was very efficient and quickly lured away one of the mutants, leaving the other one for Miao Yin.
Miao Yin turned off the alarm, and what appeared in her hand instead was the Mi Huo.
With her current strength, even a Green Crystal-level mutant is completely unable to stop her.
Without needing any extra tricks, she simply used her supernatural abilities to burn the mutated human to only half, with the other half writhing scorched on the ground.
She looked back at the silkworm, whose eyes were still tightly closed, showing no sign of waking up at the sound.
Miao Yin found it dirty and didn't touch the deformed person on the ground directly, but waited for Tu Hao to return from the other side.
The fact that Tu Hao was able to defeat the Blue Crystal Aberration Crying Wolf in a one-on-one fight was quite impressive. She didn't have to wait long before Tu Hao returned with a green crystal core.
He did suffer some minor injuries, but compared to the gains from the crystal cores, it was nothing.
When he saw the charred pieces of meat on the ground, he realized that Miao Yin actually had a fire-type ability.
"You really do have all sorts of superpowers," he said, slightly shocked.
I thought those few were the limit, but I didn't expect the other party to leave one more, making it even more difficult to kill her.
"Tu Hao, pick it up and throw it into that cocoon."
Miao Yin gave the order, ignoring his attention to Mi Huo, since he would find out about this sooner or later anyway.
"You're using crystal cores to test things out?" Tu Hao raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the strange, mutated person, then at the one on the ground, and began to understand Miao Yin's thinking.
Indeed, if that mutant was truly as harmless as it appeared, it would have remained dormant even if they had thrown the crystal core at it.
But if it wasn't really sleeping, then as a mutant that evolved by eating, it couldn't possibly be indifferent to a crystal core containing abundant power.
Tu Hao also began to wonder what might happen next.
This time, unusually, he didn't argue. He picked up the half of the deformed human and threw it into the cocoon.
