Chapter 291: The Price of Beauty

maggots are such creatures,

In fact, the frequency of appearances in horror movies is quite high,

And as long as it's an appearance,

It's just that thousands of them are haunted together.

But the maggot in front of Ryan's eyes should be only one, and its size is many times larger than in the TV movie.

"It's kind of disgusting." Ryan commented,

Although this maggot looks crystal clear, the many round eggs walking next to it look a little disgusting, and if you are a dense phobia, you may collapse directly.

"It's... It should be their mother, like a machine on an assembly line, responsible for constantly producing what you call a 'praying mantis'.

So, if you don't fix it, it's useless for your two friends to kill more outside. ”

The ancient one is still as bland as ever.

"No, no." Ryan shook his head, although the facts were in front of him, but this obviously did not conform to the laws of nature, "The larvae of the praying mantis should also look like a praying mantis." ”

He still understands this basic biological knowledge.

"But they're not praying mantises."

An orange light appeared on Gu Yi's hand, like a dancing flame, which instantly illuminated the surrounding walls even brighter.

"Boom..."

She gently tossed the flame in her hand, and the moment the orange flame touched the eggs, it was like encountering fuel that could be burned, and in an instant it erupted into even more violent flames.

Dark purple around,

It's almost yellow.

What the ancient one threw out was obviously not an ordinary flame,

That is, a few breaths of time,

The eggs all over the ground seem to have evaporated out of thin air,

Only the figure in the middle, which looked a little fat, was left.

"Actually...... These things should be useful. Ryan said with some pity, the ancient one's actions were so neat that he didn't have time to stop them.

These eggs, even if they are given to Wade or Eddie, are at least better than burning them directly on fire.

before

Ryan hadn't actually sensed anything special or different about the 'Praying Mantis' void creature, but now when facing this fat maggot, he suddenly had a different feeling.

"It should be the most useful."

The ancient one walked towards the maggot,

Ryan followed her,

This maggot...

Let's call it a praying mantis maker.

The luster that flows through its body seems to be able to arouse a desire in people's hearts with a unique attraction.

evolve

It's always been something that all living things are pursuing together,

And in the body of this praying mantis maker,

It seems that there is something that can promote the further evolution of living things.

"Can we get stronger by eating it?"

Ryan spoke out what he felt inside,

In fact

Even if he could really get stronger, he himself couldn't accept such a thing as eating 'maggots'.

Although it has been given the title of 'mantis maker', in essence, even from the point of view of appearance, it is still a maggot!

"Perhaps."

A complex formation pattern appeared in Gu Yi's hand,

"It does have some kind of substance in its body that can promote the evolution of the human body, but this evolution is actually more like pulling out seedlings to help grow, and the direction of evolution is likely to deviate directly from the original route.

If you want you to grow insect wings, or turn your hands into a pair of tentacles, maybe give it a try. ”

“......”

Ryan licked his lips, he didn't have this kind of thought himself, and he didn't need maggots to worry about what mutation would happen to him,

But.........

"What will happen to my two friends?"

............

............

"Hiss......"

The venom that was swallowing suddenly stopped, and it reached out and scratched its head, as if something strange suddenly appeared.

It's like an antenna that stands above the door of its head, making it look like a mutated Teletubbie.

"What are you doing?"

Eddie apparently noticed this as well, but he subconsciously took it as Venom's own operation.

"How do I know?"

The venom was a little inexplicable, it pressed the 'antenna' with its hand, and then pressed down hard, and the black tissue began to flow rapidly, and in an instant, the extra piece melted in.

With all this done, it shook its head and turned its gaze to the other praying mantis.

And next to it,

Wade cut the mantis in front of him into many thin slices as if he was cutting a cucumber, and then carefully picked up one slice and placed it flat on his face.

This kind of behavior is actually a bit disgusting, and even he himself is closing his eyes when he is doing these things.

At the same time meditate in your heart,

'That's the price of beauty... That's the price of beauty......

It's just that when his fingers touched his face, Wade suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of confusion in his eyes, and took out a small mirror behind his waist with his backhand and looked at his face.

"This ......"

He stroked his own skin that was clearly beginning to harden,

"Is my skin really so thick, why haven't I noticed it before?"

A thin layer of purple shell appeared on his face, and the purple color on his face may have been just a scab formed after the blood had drained, but now, it has begun to develop completely in the direction of the shell membrane.

"Poof!"

Without raising his head, he stabbed a praying mantis that wanted to sneak up on him, and Wade did not continue to use it as a mask, but frowned and climbed over the fence and found a clean place to sit down.

Hard or not, that's the question.

If it's hard to be in other positions, Wade is actually acceptable, and will even find ways to make it work better.

But if it's on the face,

So isn't your previous efforts in vain?

Wade admits that his aesthetic is sometimes a bit problematic, but he doesn't think the purple shell is much better than the potholes before.

"It's so hard for me."

Looking down and sighing, Wade suddenly picked up the katana next to him and closed his eyes again.

This time

He pointed the blade at his face.

"Hiss !!!!"

"Hmm!!!!"

"Ah!!!!h

"Huh!!!!"

.........

After a series of strange sounds,

Wade put the knife aside, and the hand holding the knife trembled visibly.

He first placed the mirror in front of him, then sat there and waited for a while, until the flesh on his face had almost healed again, and then he opened his eyes again.

heart

Some small expectations,

There was a hint of nervousness.

finally

A face appeared in the mirror,

one,

The face was exactly the same as he remembered.
