"What does evolution mean?" Mina looked at me quizzically.

My hand is infinitely close to the boundary of the attack range, and if I move one more point, it will attract the attack of the queen worm.

"Something that big, if you walk over, you're sure to be killed. If evolution is just adaptation, then there is no point, because staying in the safe zone of this crescent moon, I will not be killed, since I will not die, why adapt. But the good news is that evolution isn't just about adaptation. ”

"Heh......" Mina smiled coldly, this smile was a bit like Du Youlan, "I know what you said, I haven't seen those demonic locusts that have died after biting you. But have you ever thought about it, what if the other party is not poisonous? What should I do if I simply stab you? ”

"That's why I said, you don't know anything about evolution."

"What are you talking about? Are we talking about the same thing? There was confusion in Mina's eyes, and she wanted to ask about it, but I had already reached within range of the attack!

Sou!!

In an instant, the female worm opened her mouth and shot out a long black touch, the tip of which was like a hook claw, directly piercing my palm, forearm, skin and flesh, broken bones, and blood pouring out!

I gritted my teeth, endured the near-fatal pain, ripped open the rotten flesh that hung from my claws, and quickly retreated into safety.

"Uh...... Uhh ”

I let out a low cry of pain.

"You......" Mina grabbed my almost torn forearm and looked up at me, "Tried?" And then what? ”

"You're right...... Now, it's a physical attack, pure, non-toxic......" I squeezed a voice out between my teeth.

Actually, it's poisonous or not, I'm not sure, but there are no signs of infection for the time being. I thought it might be the mother of the demon locust, and if it was poisonous, it would be an illusion or something. But the pain made my mind clearer.

"If the other party is not poisonous, you can't evolve your own insect poison in a way that restrains the insect poison and infects the other person to death. That's the rule of your worm venom, now you get it? Mina reminded me, gently touching my unformed forearm, "Fortunately, the speed of insect venom repair is very fast, such an injury, ten minutes, or half an hour, should be repaired." ”

"It's too slow."

I stood up with my body propped up.

I don't think it's enough, I'm still a little bit short of what I want.

So, trembling again, I walked again towards the border where I had been attacked.

Mina didn't understand what I was doing at all, and directly used her brute force to drag me to the ground, "What are you doing?" Hallucinations? Didn't you say that it wasn't poisonous, why couldn't you control it and move forward? ”

"Eldest sister, I'm going to move forward myself, it's really not poisonous."

Hearing this, Mina didn't let go, didn't speak, just looked at me, and after watching for half a minute, she asked me, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Evolutionary ......"

"Didn't I tell you that you can't evolve the insect venom that restrains the other party without poison? Or are you betting that it will attack you with insect venom? ”

"I don't know, if you attack with insect venom, it's better." I responded, pulling Mina's hand away and standing up again, walking towards the border of the attack.

"It doesn't use insect poison, and in its opinion, you and I are very weak beings. Would you use a gun against ants all the time? ”

"Who told you that I was an ant?"

I stretched out my hand and crossed the border again!

The female worm shoots out again with a hook in her mouth! I vaguely saw the trajectory of its flying path, and saw the image of it piercing through my palm and breaking through my flesh, which made this time the pain worse by three points! I couldn't even use my heel because of the severe pain, and I almost fell to the ground, but Mina pulled me from behind and dragged me back to safety again.

This time it was a narrow escape.

If my body fell in the area being attacked, with the speed at which the monster was shooting a tentacle, it would probably explode my head in an instant.

So I said to Mina, "You're behind me, if I'm hooked, entangled, or falling forward." Pull me back in time to make sure I don't die. ”

"I really want to say that even if you die here, I won't take a second look."

"Trust me once."

Mina held out her finger and poked me in the chest, "I know you're not crazy and don't just do something, but now I don't understand. ”

"I'm going to evolve."

"But I didn't say ......"

"As I said, you don't understand this evolution at all!"

Before Mina could finish her sentence, I interrupted her.

My voice may have been a little loud, she looked at me blankly, and suddenly poked me in the chest, very hard, and felt like that finger was about to pierce my heart, "You shouted at me?!" ”

"Actually, I feel pretty much the same." Raising his right hand, the initial injury has fully healed and feels more powerful than before, "It may take some time to get results, but there will definitely be results." ”

Once again, I walked towards the border.

Again, stretch out your right hand.

"Woohoo!!" The mother worm suddenly let out a roar, as if it was angry after being lured by me twice, and after the roar, it suddenly shot out a stinging touch, this time, faster than before! Under the light of the illuminator, I could clearly see the opening of the female worm's mouth, and the sting action from bending to stretching and firing!

Then, in the darkness, the trajectory of the stabbing movement was not a straight line, but a spiral, like a deadly viper!

The head of the snake approached my hand and ......

Syllable!!

me hard in the palm of my hand!

"Oh! You ......" Despite her words, Mina was still behind me ready to pull me back at any moment, and she could see my grip on the stinger.

"Haha......"

I shuddered a little from laughter.

Actually, I was scared.

I was afraid that I would guess wrong, and even regretted it a little, so confidently said in front of people that she didn't understand this insect venom. But do I understand? No matter how confident a person is, there is always something that cannot be put down until they really see the results. So every time you get the results you want, you should be grateful.

"That's what you mean by evolution?" Mina looked at my bruised hands.

"Yes, it's not just about adapting to poison, it's hurting ...... Or rather, more than adaptation. If you want to survive for a long time, you just don't adapt enough, and you have to kill the threat completely, that's evolution. ”

It's fast and able to stab me.

And I'm going to get hold of it!

"Whew!!"

The queen roared, grinned angrily, and shot a second stabbing touch! I seized the opportunity to throw out the thorn in my hand, and when I collided with it, the thorn in my hand was pierced, and the dark and strange smell of slime burst out, and a painful murmur came from the mouth of the queen worm, "Woo...... Woooooooo ”

The first stage, completed.

But it's not enough to get into the pit under the insect queen and get out of this cave.

Looking at my fully restored left hand, "I need a little more time, wait." With that, he looked at Mina.

The look in her eyes, a little strange, was something I had never seen before.

And what made me care more was the sentence she said casually, "It's kind of like him." ”

I know who she's talking about.

Dry corpse, Wei Heng.

It suddenly occurred to me that if the part of the story in which Mina teamed up with someone to eliminate insects was true, then she should know Wei Heng, that is, I might have asked one less question.
