"Embedding the roving sea worm in the genes of the queen, confirmed?"

The system asked.

"I can't think of a better structure for the time being, and this thing wasn't originally set up for pure fighting and fighting under the sea, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Ye Ren pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's it." ”

"The embedding was successful. ”

After getting Ye Ren's promise, the system calmly responded.

"Good. ”

Ye Ren nodded, and then didn't say much, and directly withdrew from the evolution space with a single thought.

[Exit the evolutionary space.] 】

The surrounding space was slightly distorted for a moment, and Ye Ren had quickly woken up.

And after Ye Ren woke up this time, he didn't immediately look for the insect queen, but took a look at the system bar and saw that his evolution points had increased by about two million again.

"Is it really because these two insects are very easy to create?"

Ye Ren muttered to himself while closing the system bar, then shook his head, and prepared to go to the central area where the insect queen was.

However, just when Ye Ren's front foot stepped out, in a corner of his vision, he found a very magical thing, which had grown to a height of more than a meter at the moment, and there were several wart-like hanging on it... Or something like a nodule.

"What is this?"

Ye Ren first subconsciously said, and then the memory in his mind had already made Ye Ren clearly recognize what this bush of things was, that's right, it was the fungus planted by Dai Lin before, but he didn't expect that it had grown in less than a day, and it was beyond Ye Ren's expectations.

"This thing grows a little fast, I'm stunned. ”

Ye Ren temporarily canceled the idea of going directly to the back of the worm, but walked in front of the fungus, directly pulled off a wart from the tissue that looked like a large pile of hoses, and looked at it slightly.

The skin of this thing is dark purple. It's crawling with blood vessels... Or the black-red lines that are twisted like earthworms, and the whole is also very irregular.

In fact, if you look at it just from the appearance, Ye Ren deduces that it is the sum of all the ingredients in the world. It's not as ugly as this thing, because this wart really doesn't look like something that can be stuffed in a mouth.

Even Ye Ren will inevitably have an illusion of "can this thing really be eaten?" when faced with this play.

In terms of size, this wart is a little smaller than Ye Ren's fist, a bit like the size of an ordinary apple or potato. But the touch from the palm of Ye Rentong's hand can be clearly felt, in fact, this thing is not very hard, a bit like a slightly soft or elastic substance.

Well... It is slightly harder than the white Mengmeng, but it still has a certain elasticity and softness, just like a solid touch and irregular appearance of a piece of rubber.

Although Ye Ren felt that the feel of this thing... No, it might be better if the touch of this thing turned into silicone, but obviously Dai Lin's ability is not so rebellious, so this thing is still very thick in the hand, giving people a heavy feeling.

"Would you like to try a bite to try?"

Ye Ren looked at the ugly wart in his hand. After a little hesitation, he decisively opened his mouth and tried to take a bite, in the countless battles and fights, Ye Ren admitted that he had eaten a lot of strange things, even if this thing was unpalatable, there was no problem, he should be able to withstand it, and even if it was poisonous, the immune mechanism in his blood could resist it.

"Click..."

A strange gnawing sound sounded, and Ye Ren's sharp teeth naturally pierced the elastic epidermis lightly, and gnawed off the flesh that was almost the same color as the internal organs...... Or rather, wart.

Accompanied by chewing. A very wonderful taste slowly spread in Ye Ren's mouth.

"Hmm..."

Ye Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, it's not that this thing is too unpalatable or too delicious, it's just that it tastes a little strange, so you need to feel it carefully.

The texture of the wart meat still retains its elasticity. It's like chewing a slice of a bouncy ball, if you have a bad mouth, it's hard to eat this thing as a staple food, and the taste is also magical, compared to the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty that Ye Ren thought of, it's a kind of salty and light, but mixed with a little fishy smell strange taste. And there is a lot of juice, and every time Ye Ren chews it with sharp teeth, the soft wart meat will ooze sticky and tasteless juice, with a slightly fishy smell.

"It tastes a bit like sashimi, but it's more chewy......" While tasting the strange food, Ye Ren began to talk to himself again: "So it's a bit like raw octopus brachiopod slices?"

"It's not an unacceptable taste. ”

After chewing it twice, Ye Ren directly swallowed the wart meat in his mouth, and then took off the two wart tumors again, and left the fungus while eating the warts in his hand.

After leaving, Ye Ren did not go directly to the queen worm, but first went to the place where Dai Lin was.

"Yo, girl. ”

While chewing on the wart meat, Ye Ren directly opened Dai Lin's door with the interference of the electromagnetic field, and walked in with a big thorn.

“？”

Dai Lin was looking down at the moment to write something down in a notebook, and raised her head after hearing Ye Ren's words.

Probably because she had had a lot of rest before, and because of Honghe's care, Dai Lin didn't look very tired, which was completely different from when she got along with Bai Mengmeng, giving people a very spiritual feeling, which showed that Dai Lin at least slept a little regularly, and Ye Ren saw this, so he naturally didn't bother to care about her idle character.

Anyway, as long as you don't really get tired to death, anyway, Dai Lin is now an unprecedented new life, and its vitality is definitely not weak, with her own endowment, although it is estimated that it can't compare to herself and Honghe, but staying up all night to die like crazy is definitely much stronger than Bai Mengmeng and sappers.

"What are you eating?"

Dai Lin naturally noticed the contents of Ye Ren's hand and mouth, put down the note, and asked suspiciously.

"Taste it. Ye Ren didn't say much, and the tail knife directly cut off a small piece of wart in a flash, and then threw it towards Dai Lin.

"Hmm..."

Dai Lin's reaction was naturally not the same as when Ye Ren first met. Without even reaching out his hand, the star mark rolled it up with a snap, and then handed it to Dai Lin.

"It smells a bit like the tissue of some kind of creature, but it doesn't look like the texture. Dai Lin observed it for a moment and asked calmly: "Judging by this texture and smell." This is supposed to be the fruiting body of the fungus, but the timing is not right, and they have already produced fruiting bodies in one day?"

"Have you ever tasted this?"

Ye Ren chewed the wart fruit and asked Dai Lin.

"Uh... No. Dai Lin glanced at the grotesque, eerie fruiting entity, which was as terrifying as something that came out of the Eagle Nation's oven. So Dai Lin dry vinegar shook his head: "Actually, I haven't eaten it, but I have taken some samples for experiments before, so I can estimate the proportion of nutrients contained in it from the number I obtained." ”

After saying this, Dai Lin was a little puzzled again.

"But the growth rate of the fungus seems to be a bit beyond my expectations, it should mature in a few days, but why did it mature so quickly?"

"Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Ye Ren didn't understand either, so he simply asked casually.

"Hmm... It's good. Dai Lin nodded, and then stood up directly, after following Ye Ren for so long, she was also closer to Ye Ren in some aspects of her personality. For example, the character of doing it, since he has nodded and plans to take a look, he naturally let go of everything in his hand at this moment.

Because the fungus is related to the nutrients after the insects, Ye Ren also attaches more importance to this matter, so he plans to go with him.

So the two of them left the room directly and walked briskly in the direction of the fungus hole.

However, halfway through, Dai Lin and Ye Ren happened to meet the sappers, and at this moment, his appearance was quite strange, and he actually carried a big black cauldron behind him, which happened to be the one Ye Ren bought before.

"Boss?"

The sappers naturally saw Ye Ren and Dai Lin coming head-on. So he said hello directly: "Doctor, boss, what are you two going to do?"

"I taught Dai Lin to pick mushrooms. ”

Ye Ren casually began to talk nonsense: "It's you a sapper, do you want to be a backstabber?"

"What the hell is the backstabber..."

The sapper raised his forehead: "I don't want to try to make stewed food." It's rare to have kitchen utensils or something, although my skills are also at the picnic level, but at least I don't have to continue to drink nutrient solution. ”

"Really?"

Ye Ren nodded and praised: "You are worthy of being the king of logistics, not only an engineer and mechanic, but also a part-time cook, you are simply too good." Come, here you go. ”

As he spoke, after Ye Ren finished speaking, he directly handed over a complete wart fruit in his hand.

"Boss, what the hell is this?"

The sapper obviously didn't know what this thing was, and after taking the wart fruit, he pinched it twice with his hand, and said curiously: "It's still elastic, is it rubber?"

"It's a Devil Fruit. ”

Ye Ren smiled slightly.

"I see, is this the Devil Fruit?" the sapper nodded, "It seems that if you eat it, you will be cursed by the sea......"

"Enough of you two!"

Dai Lin finally couldn't help it, Ye Ren was enough to be nonsensical alone, but the sappers also coaxed, and he was a little curious about why the fungus plants grew so fast, but Ye Ren was simply making a mess for himself, and now Dai Lin wanted to go by himself.

"Sapper, this is not some Devil Fruit, this is the fruiting body of a fungus plant that I created Zào, which is rich in calories. ”

After stopping the nonsensical conversation between the two, Dai Lin explained to the sapper.

"yes, yes. ”

Ye Ren also nodded: "Sapper, let me tell you, this thing can be eaten as long as the head is removed, the protein is four times that of beef, and the chicken has a crunchy taste." ”

"That's amazing!"

The sapper's eyes lit up.

"......" Dai Lin really didn't want to speak at the moment, if it was Bai Mengmeng, it was estimated that she would be able to suppress the two of them with sharp complaints, but Dai Lin has never been good at this kind of thing, and when she encountered this kind of egg pain, she could only take a deep breath, and then turned around silently, preparing to go to the fungus cave by herself.

And so on. ”

After Ye Ren saw Dai Lin's actions, he also stopped Dai Lin and said in a tone like coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." ”

"You still know you're making trouble. ”

Dai Lin is really a little crying and laughing at Ye Ren's character, obviously so powerful that it is almost incredible, and his mind is clear and calm enough, almost half of his feet have stepped into the man at the top of the food chain, but sometimes it becomes very unreliable, all kinds of brain pumping things make him and Bai Mengmeng have a headache, what kind of trouble is this, is it so difficult to be a reliable guy no matter when and where?

"Well, isn't it a little bit to ease the atmosphere, the underground world is so dull, I'm also afraid that you will be depressed. ”

Ye Ren shrugged his shoulders, casually found a reason to say it as an excuse, and then before Dai Lin could refute him, he directly threw all the wart fruits in his hand to the sapper, and then said: "Sapper, take it down and study it, how should this thing be made more delicious, this difficult job will be handed over to you." ”

"Huh?"

The sapper was also stunned: "Boss, can this thing really be eaten?"

"Nonsense, I've gnawed on one raw, okay?"

Ye Ren said: "Anyway, you take these two down first, try them and see how they are more delicious, Dai Lin and I still have to go to the fungus cave to have a look, so there is no time, this difficult task will be handed over to you." ”

“…… All right. ”

The sapper looked at what looked like a twisted sarcoma in his hand, thought about it, and nodded.

And bidding farewell to this little episode of the sapper, Ye Ren and Dai Lin came to the fungus cave very much.

However, before Ye Ren and Dai Lin could enter the fungus hole, they saw a sapper-type insect crawling out of it, and they also pinched a strange-looking wart fruit with pliers, and calmly ignored Ye Ren and Dai Lin, and crawled towards the area in the center of the hive.

“…… What's going on?"

For the alien insects, Dai Lin obviously didn't know as well as Ye Ren, so when he saw this kind of thing at this moment, he could only ask Ye Ren: "You let the alien insects go in to collect them?"

"Not really. ”

Ye Ren raised his forehead, "I guess it should be the problem of the queen worm, but I don't know very well, I'll ask it anyway." (To be continued.) )
