Chapter 318: Change

"It's not that I don't tell you, it's just a little hard to understand. ”

Ye Ren waited for the queen worm to give birth, and explained to Bai Mengmeng: "This thing is not as simple as you imagined, it can be understood, in short, it's not that I don't sue you, it's just hard to say, you probably know that I can control the genes of the queen worm and Leviathan, of course, I am the same." ”

"What?"

Bai Mengmeng was stunned: "What does that mean?"

Literally, it takes the genes of other creatures through guΓ² predation, strengthens itself, and then gradually evolves itself to perfection. ”

Ye Ren explained casually, and then found that the queen had laid eggs, so he stopped to explain, and directly took the white eggs, and then the antennae of the queen shook, and the whole egg cracked open, and a very ordinary little insect came out of it.

"This worm..."

Bai Mengmeng saw that Ye Ren was very attentive looking at this strange insect that seemed to be a little ordinary, and she also looked at it with some doubts.

As a result, Bai Mengmeng immediately found out that something was wrong, I don't know why the body of this insect seems to be a little weird, the whole body structure is elongated partially, and there are two more protruding hemispheres wrapped in the exoskeleton on both sides of the abdomen, although it looks soft, but it is also very tightly wrapped by the exoskeleton, although there are two more hemispherical objects in the abdomen, but it is not bloated, because of the elongation, the proportion is still relatively symmetrical.

"This is the air bag, right?"

Ye Ren also naturally noticed the objects in the two hemispheres, but unlike what Bai Mengmeng found, Ye Ren looked at it here and it was not a hemisphere. It's a complete sphere, but it's half embedded in the abdomen, so it's not visible.

"Gas... Bai Mengmeng also came over curiously: "Is this what you did?"

"Of course. Ye Ren nodded. Then he held this amphibious version of the alien insect in one hand, and then slowly stood up: "Go." Let's go find a pond and try it..."

So, Ye Ren couldn't help but take Bai Mengmeng to find a small puddle nearby.

There are still many small puddles in the cave structure, most of them are underground water veins seeping down from above little by little, dripping from the stone stalactites above, forming a small puddle, the water quality is still unusually clear and sweet, even the insects often get water from this small puddle.

"Don't drown me. ”

Ye Ren carefully put the insect in his hand into the water slowly, and then looked at the somewhat stupid insect a little nervously. I don't know if it's because I'm not very familiar with underwater activities, this insect looks a little... Confused?

However, although it was a little stunned, the insect did not struggle or drown in the water, but began to look at the surrounding environment very suspiciously.

"Gooooooo

Two minutes later, a small string of bubbles erupted from the insect's body, apparently depleting the oxygen in the air sac.

Five minutes later, the little insect spat out a small string of bubbles again, and it was still unharmed.

Ten minutes later, the insect became anxious. And occasionally there is the idea of wanting to get out of the water.

After fifteen minutes, the insect began to become silent, almost ceasing to move.

Twenty minutes later, the insect drowned.

"Is the first-level air storage bag the limit now?" Ye Ren looked at the insects in the pool that were constantly struggling with one finger pressed by himself. Said to himself.

"Being able to be underwater for almost 20 minutes is pretty good. ”

Bai Mengmeng looked at the little insect that was constantly struggling in the water, and said, "If it cooperates with a more reasonable cave structure." It is still possible to transport food from Leviathan hunting directly from the sea to the hive. ”

"Well, that's right. ”

Ye Ren nodded. Bai Mengmeng seemed to be really reasonable, but then Ye Ren suddenly reacted. Glancing at Bai Mengmeng with some confusion, her expression was quite surprised: "... Huh?"

β€œβ€¦ What are you doing?"

Bai Mengmeng was a little puzzled by Ye Ren's actions, so she asked.

Ye Ren didn't speak, but reached out and directly pressed the insect into the water with a little force, due to the excessive strength, the insect here was actually flattened even the air bag, a large string of bubbles gurgled out, and the exoskeleton also had some cracks, looking miserable, and it looked like it was about to die.

But even so, Bai Mengmeng still looked at Ye Ren very suspiciously, as if she couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

"You're not a virgin anymore!"

Ye Ren looked at Bai Mengmeng in surprise and said.

"Your sister, Our Lady. Bai Mengmeng reflected at this time: "I thought it was something else, I said that I am not a virgin, aren't you testing, the test naturally requires a more accurate number jΓΉ, even if you pay a little price, it's okay, anyway, didn't you also say that those insects don't have an IQ?"

"But you've made a little bit of a shift..."

Ye Ren fished the insect out of the water and put it aside, and said casually: "You are a little fast in your transformation, girl." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Ye Ren say this, Bai Mengmeng was stunned: "Really?"

"yes, yes, you weren't happy when I brushed bats a few hours ago. ”

Ye Ren nodded hurriedly.

"I don't know, but suddenly I feel like I'm going to open it. Bai Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and explained very casually, but just after she finished speaking, her right hand suddenly twisted, and an eyeball popped out of it.

"White, what are you running out for..."

Bai Mengmeng saw the change in her right hand, glanced down, and asked.

"Actually, I have something to do with the change in your mind. Shiro's eyes twisted, and then he explained.

"What?"

Before Bai Mengmeng could react, Ye Ren's breath became dangerous in vain: "Do you want to say that you did something?"

"No, I don't have the ability to control the host, never. ”

Bai didn't know if he felt a trace of horror flashing in Ye Ren's eyes, so a trace of jealousy and worry also flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly explained: "It's just that because I and Mengmeng continue to integrate and evolve at a deeper level, the behavior or way of thinking between us will be gradually assimilated......"

"Assimilation?"

Ye Ren frowned and read the word.

"That's right, Meng Meng knows about this. Shiro nodded his eyes, then turned around and said, "I once told her about the fact that there will be a certain change in personality. ”

"So..."

Ye Ren glanced at Bai Mengmeng and asked, "Mengmeng, did it really tell you about this?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I forgot. ”

Bai Mengmeng also looked a little embarrassed.

"......" Ye Ren simply didn't know what to say.

"Actually, the assimilation speed will not be so fast, but you have done a lot of ideological work on Mengmeng, and she is more inclined to your statement psychologically, plus the changes on the physical level, so it will be like this. ”

Bai explained, looked at Ye Ren again, and said in a very serious tone: " Ye Ren, I know that I am not your opponent, so I will not do something very dangerous, in this relatively dangerous world, I prefer that your powerful life can be my ally rather than an opponent, your strength can ensure that I and my host live, I will not do something stupid to provoke you, believe me, I just want to simply live, and this change is not harmful, and it will not last too long......"

"If you have to explain, it's probably that Meng Meng will get some of my rational thinking, and I'll get some of her human thinking, can you understand?"

"I hope what you say is true. ”

Ye Ren narrowed his eyes, but he didn't really show his attitude.

Although this guy Bai is just a parasitic life form that needs to be attached to others, it is extremely terrifying in a sense, because this guy can't think according to common sense at all, because it is a special life that appeared after the wingless star mark and a certain virus tested each other, and it is full of great uncertainties.

Although what it said didn't seem to have any logical problems, and Bai Mengmeng becoming more rational did help him, but unlike Bai Mengmeng, Ye Ren wouldn't fully believe it, especially after this incident, he could only be more careful to beware of it.

"I have no reason to lie to you. Bai was still trying to explain.

"Okay, anyway, you go back first, I still have something to do here. ”

Ye Ren waved his hand and asked Bai to go back first.

β€œβ€¦ Time will tell if I'm not lying. Bai saw Ye Ren's irritability, and after explaining, it disappeared, and Bai Mengmeng's right hand returned to its original form.

"Ye Ren, I ......"

Seeing that Bai disappeared, Bai Mengmeng here also wanted to say something to Ye Ren, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, so she bit her lip and fell silent.

"It's okay, you're still you. Ye Ren comforted Bai Mengmeng.

Now the mood of the two of them is not too comfortable because of such a thing, so after Ye Ren's words came out, the two of them froze here, and they didn't speak, they just kept silent and didn't know what they were thinking, but it didn't take long for Leviathan's spiritual message to break the deadlock.

"Huh?"

Feeling the information in his heart, Ye Ren was a little stunned, because this message showed that Leviathan had reached the sea near the Amazon, and it would not be long before he could reach the main estuary of the Amazon Basin. (To be continued......)
