Consciousness was detached from the body of the big earthworm, Zeng Rong began to search all over the house, looking for those useless metals, and it was the metal that the big earthworm could eat, the metal body was easy to find, but the volume could not be eaten by the big earthworm, luckily, a bag of screws weighing about a pound was found, and a small iron screw one centimeter long and four millimeters wide with a nut was found.

This is the remnants of the previous home decoration, and the volume is slightly larger, but the large earthworms can barely swallow it.

If Zeng Rong is allowed to swallow metal with his body, it must be a very disgusting thing, but fortunately, the big earthworm is just a clone, just swallow it hard, and when it is full, it will be separated directly from the consciousness, and you won't have to worry about it later. However, to Zeng Rong's surprise, swallowing metal with a big earthworm does not feel as bad as imagined, and the metal has a special attraction to the body of the big earthworm, and even when swallowing the screw, there are bursts of satisfaction from the depths of the body.

When he felt that his stomach had been filled and his consciousness returned to his body, Zeng Rong found that a pack of more than a pound of screws had been eaten almost, and the amount of food for a big earthworm was about a pound of metal.

Looking at the big earthworm lying quietly in the carton, Zeng Rong was a little worried, he ate a pound of iron in one meal, where is this iron going to go? And it should also be suitable for the swallowing of large earthworms.

Zeng Rong's first thought was Zhang Dingyun, Zhang Dingyun was Zeng Rong's classmate from elementary school to high school, a dead friend, and it is not an exaggeration to use iron buddies on the two.

Zhang Dingyun's family is buying scrap products, and it should be easy to get some broken copper and iron.

When it was time to eat lunch, Zeng Rong went to the uncle's house first, and the uncle moved into the county early, and it was a small building with a yard.

Walking into the courtyard of the uncle's house, my cousin Zeng Xiaoyu was doing her homework seriously in the hall.

"Brother, where are you going to play today?" Xiaoyu is a delicate little girl, with a bit of nerdy, and a smile is two shallow dimples. Just after the high school entrance examination, I have been admitted, the county No. 1 middle school, which is the key high school in Linji County.

is about to enter high school, Xiaoyu has already asked Zeng Rong for the textbook of the first year of high school, and is previewing in advance.

Although he doesn't like nerds, he is different from Xiaoyu's sister, Zeng Rong not only likes it, but even has a feeling of pride in his heart, he can officially admit Enterprising County No. 1 Middle School, and there are only 200 places in the entire county. At the end of the day, only three to four people from each junior high school can officially enter the county No. 1 middle school.

"Fishing went." Zeng Rong replied, a little absent-minded.

"You kid, you just don't want to study hard, you have to learn more from your sister! I don't know how to use dim sum to study during the holidays, so I know how to play. Between the two of them asking and answering, the sixty-eight-year-old grandfather came out of the kitchen to serve food.

Grandpa has two sons and a daughter. Grandma died early, grandpa and uncle lived together, uncle and aunt both worked in the unit, and usually grandpa took care of the housework.

"Oh, got it. Grandpa, let me come. Zeng Rong replied while going up to take the plate from his grandfather's hand.

"Know a fart!" Grandpa stretched out his hand and slapped Zeng Rong's hand with his other hand, "There are still in the kitchen!" ”

"Hehe, I'm going to the kitchen." Zeng Rong didn't care about his grandfather's actions, and said with a smile.

Although grandpa looks fierce, Zeng Rong knows that grandpa still loves himself very much, and he can see it from his loving eyes when he eats.

The two uncles are daughters, and Zeng Rong is the grandfather's only grandson, how can it not hurt?

"Study hard and get into a good university!" Before leaving, Grandpa watched Zeng Rong go out and said again.

"Got it." Zeng Rong still coped with it like this.

Riding a bicycle all the way, Zeng Rong headed in the direction of Zhang Dingyun's house.

Zhang Dingyun's house is relatively remote, and it took more than ten minutes to pedal a bicycle to reach Zhang Dingyun's doorstep.

A large courtyard, the courtyard alone has more than 100 square meters. The iron gate of the courtyard was open, and when you entered, you could see a stout young man skillfully unloading all kinds of useful materials from all kinds of waste materials, plastic, copper, iron, aluminum, and paper, all sorted and put together.

At the edge of the yard, there are also several poles erected, on which sandbags are hung, and there are dumbbells, stone locks and other materials on the ground to exercise physical strength.

"Zeng Rong, take the fist!" The sturdy guy was Zhang Dingyun, Zhang Dingyun saw Zeng Rong, immediately screamed, jumped up and ran in front of Zeng Rong and punched him.

Avoiding Zhang Dingyun's fist, Zeng Rong also punched Zhang Dingyun's chest, and the punch was blocked by Zhang Dingyun's wrist, and the wrist bones of the two touched together, and with a snap, both of them felt the pain of the bones colliding.

It hurts, but it's also very hot and energetic. Zhang Dingyun's father has been a soldier for several years, and he doesn't know what kind of soldier it is, but he usually likes to practice boxing, punching sandbags or something. Under the influence of his father, Zhang Dingyun also learned a little kung fu, Zeng Rong and Zhang Dingyun mixed together when they were young, and they also learned something randomly.

The two of them fought dozens of punches in an orderly manner, and when each of them was hit by seven or eight punches, they both felt a little tired, so they stopped.

"Don't fight, I'm looking for you today to have business." After pausing to take a few breaths, Zeng Rong spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Dingyun was also panting

"Let's see if you have scrap metal here." Zeng Rong's eyes began to look around.

"No, there, do you see it, it's all scrap metal, you can see for yourself." Zhang Dingyun pointed to a pile of items next to him and said.

Zeng Rong turned over in the past, there were a lot of iron blocks, iron stones, and iron pieces, but the size was so small that the big earthworm could swallow it, but he couldn't find much.

"What kind of iron do you want?" Zhang Dingyun asked suspiciously while watching Zeng Rong's actions.

"It's better to be bigger than that, and it's better to be small." Zeng Rong remembered the feeling of being choked by swallowing screws, and said to a screw in his palm.

"That's easy!" Zhang Dingyun said with a smile, turned around and walked into the room, and soon, with a vice in his hand, he walked out with a circle of wire.

Finding the front of the wire, he quickly clamped it with a vice in one hand, and soon, a short piece of wire that met Zeng Rong's requirements fell to the ground.

"How much do you want?" Zhang Dingyun asked while holding the wire.

"The more the merrier." Zeng Rong didn't know how many times a day the big earthworm could eat, but there was nothing wrong with preparing more.

"There's also a roll of wire, I'll take a vice and clip it together." Zhang Dingyun didn't ask Zeng Rong what he wanted to do, and said simply.

The two entered the house, took out a large basin and placed it in the middle, and the two sat facing each other with chairs, and the wires kept falling into the large plates.

"Okay, that's all the wire, if you want these things in the future, I'll ask my parents to pay more attention." After the two of them clamped all the wires in their hands into small sections, Zhang Dingyun said.

"Look at the weight, give you money." Put the processed wire into a bag, Zeng Rong said.

"What's the money, what more money do you need for this little thing." Zhang Dingyun laughed, took the bag in Zeng Rong's hand, and tied it to the back of Zeng Rong's bicycle.

"No, then I won't be able to come back again, and I'll need these things in the future." Thinking of the amount of food eaten by the big earthworm, Zeng Rong hurriedly said.

"Okay, there are twelve or thirteen catties here, we charge two cents a catty, and you give fifteen yuan." Zhang Dingyun thought for a moment and said.

Fifteen yuan is the cost price.

"Leave it to me when I receive iron of this size!" took out twenty yuan, and before Zhang Dingyun could react, Zeng Rong immediately stepped on the bicycle and left.

"It's okay to come and practice boxing with me!" Zhang Dingyun yelled at the bicycle.

"Don't worry!"

Back home, the consciousness is constantly switching between the big earthworm and the body, but the message from the big earthworm's body is that it needs to rest, in the body of the big earthworm, the consciousness is a kind of warmth, which makes people lazy to the point of laziness in their bones, and they don't want to move.

With excitement, Zeng Rong slept late at night, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning when he got up the next day.

Hurriedly ran to see the situation of the big earthworm, and in one night, the body of the big earthworm obviously had some changes, and the surface of the body was covered with tiny black spots, dense, like countless small tadpoles in the water in early spring. Not only that, but the body of the large earthworm is obviously thicker.

The consciousness was attached to the big earthworm's body, and a feeling of hunger came out, and he hurriedly controlled the big earthworm to swallow the iron that had been prepared for a long time, this time swallowing a little more than yesterday, swallowing about a pound and two taels.

Withdrawing from the body of the big earthworm with a sense of satisfaction, Zeng Rong went to work on his own business again.

For five days in a row, the earthworms ate once a day, eating more than a pound at a time. went to Zhang Dingyun's house to practice sandbags, bought back iron products of suitable size, and a few classmates got together to go shopping, surf the Internet in Internet cafes, and see grandpa, Xiaoyu, uncle, aunt or something.

After swallowing the wire for five days, the length of the big earthworm has not increased much, and the body length is between one meter and five or six. But it is obviously much thicker, and the black spots on the body are gradually getting bigger, like black beans all over the body, which is much better than the original big earthworm.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, the consciousness was transmitted to the body of the big earthworm, and the message from the body of the big earthworm was that it was extremely in need of rest, and the consciousness felt extremely weak in the body of the big earthworm, like the kind of dying patient, and could not even use consciousness to command the big earthworm to move.

Could it be that you are sick?

Zeng Rong thought so for the first time, but treating earthworms is no less difficult for Zeng Rong than landing on the moon.

But today I made an appointment with a few classmates to go outside to play, Zeng Rong didn't think too much, so he went out, and the excitement of playing with his classmates didn't attach his consciousness to the big earthworm all day.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, when he returned home, under the light, Zeng Rong found that the big earthworm's body had looked a little shriveled, as if it was seriously dehydrated!

Broken! Zeng Rong was shocked, he originally thought that the vitality of the earthworm was quite tenacious, after all, this is a creature that can survive by eating soil containing decaying matter, but he didn't expect that something was wrong in the morning, and he would come back at night with the appearance of a dry corpse!

Is it really dead? Zeng Rong was in shock, and immediately attached his consciousness to the body of the big earthworm.

Completely beyond Zeng Rong's imagination, the message transmitted by the big earthworm's body this time is full of vitality and vigorous power! It's like a very tired person, after eating and drinking, Meimei wakes up after a good night's sleep!

Twisting the body of the big earthworm vigorously, there was a sound and feeling on the body as if the paper was cracking, and soon, in the head, a gap appeared, and the gap was obviously much stronger!

A feeling of excitement came out of the big earthworm's body, and he struggled to twist his body a few times, and suddenly, Zeng Rong felt as if he was squeezed out of some small space, and a feeling of freshness and freedom immediately spread throughout his body!

Not only that, but looking at the scenery in front of you, it doesn't feel like it used to be through the frosted glass, but it feels like the frosted side of the frosted glass is drenched with water, and the scenery outside is still not very clear, but you can probably distinguish it.

Not only that, but this time the big earthworm gave Zeng Rong the feeling that his whole body was much stronger!

If in the past, walking relied on twisting the body and moving by the bristles on the body, now it is obvious that the rows of things under the body are pulled by the muscles on the stomach, constantly expanding and contracting, and the body is moving, and the speed is at least five times that of before!

Zeng Rong could feel that the big earthworm was obviously different from before, and bones and large areas of muscles appeared in the body.

A series of different feelings made Zeng Rong feel an inexplicable surprise in his heart!

Returning to the body, the big earthworm was still lying in a cardboard box, but it looked completely different, the black bean-like thing on the body had turned into scales, covering the entire back, and the abdomen was cyan rows of substances.

The head becomes very distinct, the tail is even smaller, and the overall appearance of this large earthworm is more like a snake!

The difference is that there are no eyes, but there are two small bags protruding from the head, Zeng Rong subconsciously knows that this should be where the eyes are!

The head has no mouth, no teeth, and no organs such as nostrils.

Look to the side again, and a thin strip of near-transparent stuff lies there.

Looking at this thing, Zeng Rong immediately remembered the snake he had seen before! It's the skin of a snake as it grows! Zeng Rong immediately understood that the big earthworm was in a weak state that day, and it was in the process of molting!

After molting, the whole body of the big earthworm begins to evolve! Evolve towards snakes!

It seems that the big earthworm is still useful! A big snake more than one meter long, thinking about Zeng Rong began to get excited! This is no longer the big earthworm at the beginning, but a snake more than one meter long, and consciousness can control such a snake, at least it can do some very interesting things. Zeng Rong was thinking in his heart again, is this snake poisonous or non-venomous? If it's a poisonous snake, it's more useful, huh.

Attaching his consciousness to the body of the big earthworm again, the freshness just now passed, and a wave of hunger passed over.

Directly controlling this strange creature, which looked like a snake but not a snake, like an earthworm and not an earthworm, came to the place where the iron was stored, and began to devour the iron side that Zeng Rong had collected nearly thirty catties, and began to eat for the first time after molting.

This time, the big earthworm swallowed three catties before the satisfaction was transmitted.

After eating, Zeng Rong controlled the big earthworm to return to the carton by itself, and the consciousness returned to the body, Zeng Rong began to worry a little, eating three catties of iron at a time, it will be difficult to get it in the future! Where are you looking for so many iron products of the right size? And three catties of iron a day, in exchange for Chengren people's currency, is five yuan, which is a lot of expenses for Zeng Rong after finishing his first year of high school, although his parents have a fixed living expenses to remit every month.

What happened next surprised Zeng Rong even more.

Molting is not the first evolution, there is a second and a third time to follow. Each time it was eaten for five days, and then it took one day to molt and evolve successfully.
