Chapter 6: The Twelfth Metamorphosis

……

Unknown waters.

Two meters underwater, there is a small cave.

The crayfish in the cave ** is digging a hole in the soil, what are you digging a pit, if you look closely, it is a ten-centimeter-sized Chinese dragon-shaped pit.

What is this for?

In Yang Lingtian's imagination, the essence of this body is a crayfish, and it doesn't have to run, but it should be in three forms:

"The original face is crayfish, this is no doubt, as an ideal crayfish, the future will go to thousands of river basins, experience the world, see the magical water world."

Then there is the "Divine Dragon", as a Chinese person, who has never admired the dragon in his youth, the dragon as the totem and spiritual belief of the Chinese nation, when the time comes, to stir up the wind and rain in this form, crisscrossing the four lakes and seas, pretending to run away, imagination is exciting. ”

"In the end, it is humanoid, he was born as a human and still can't let go of the past, deep down in his heart he still hopes to go ashore one day, see the world of flowers and flowers in the world, see the old friends who have become familiar with him, and experience the life he has never experienced."

Waving the big tongs to repair the "dragon" shaped mold on the ground, this time the molt "dragon type", the next time the molt "humanoid", and then the next molt to return to its original appearance.

If this continues, after constantly switching between the three forms, maybe dozens or hundreds of transformations, all forms are clear.

In fact, the biggest luxury in his heart is to go back to the world of flowers and flowers, if the idea can really be realized, then ......

……

Looking down at the perfect mold, I couldn't help but nod the shrimp head with satisfaction, this is the first metamorphosis after being reborn as a shrimp, that is, the twelfth metamorphosis of the crayfish, after this time, it will not be so easy later.

Moving the body, pliers and claws are used together, it is not easy to squeeze the body of more than ten centimeters into a pit of more than ten centimeters, not to mention that the shape is different, the most important thing is to make the body shape change as expected, and it really can't be dug big.

Lying quietly in the pit, closing his small dark eyes, waiting for the arrival of transformation.

The head falls into a state of thoughtless emptiness, constantly imagining that he is a "real dragon", becoming a dragon, slowly transitioning from imaginary to "not thinking about himself", forming inertia, and finally completely emptying his mind.

Regarding this kind of practice, Yang Lingtian didn't know if it was useful, it was better than nothing, so it was an experiment.

After all, whether it is meditation in the East or meditation in the West, it refers to this state of emptiness, which is said to be mysterious and mysterious in all major religious beliefs, but there are few real examples.

He has also come into contact with some so-called "metaphysics", which is either a fame or a scientific basis, and it is natural that modern science can explain it.

But when I think about it again, there is no wind and no waves, since it can be passed on and mysterious, there is nothing to lose by experimenting.

Maybe there is some unknown science in it, such as the "peach enzyme" that I researched, if it is really "peach" in ancient times, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a panacea.

In the same way, countless modern technologies have been miraculous in ancient times, and in general, he identified the known as "science" and the unknown as "metaphysics".

In short, "metaphysics" is "science" that has not yet been discovered.

……

"Click"

"Click"

As time passed, it seemed that countless dense cracking sounds sounded on the body, and a strong itching sensation hit.

The unstoppable touch interrupted the state of emptiness, and he didn't mention the spirit to deal with the molting.

Metamorphosis, first of all, the carapace of the whole body begins to fade, when the carapace is completely shed, this stage lasts from about a few minutes to ten minutes;

When the old outer molt fades, the appearance is a layer of cortical layer, soft, then the water enters the body from the cortical layer, the body gains weight and increases, the calcium of the calcium stone in the body is transferred to the cortical layer, the cortical layer becomes hard and thick, and becomes a new carapace, and then the calcium stone becomes smaller, so as to complete the transformation.

Speaking of which, it is impossible not to mention the "calcium stone", which is used to change the exoskeleton of crayfish, and this stone analogue is used to store calcium for crayfish, so that the exoskeleton can grow after each molt.

……

Yang Lingtian's efforts to control his body were not as good as moving, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of transformation, there was no way, if he wanted to become a dragon, he had to hold back, his nerves were tightly tensed, and subtle pain and itching were constantly transmitted to his mind.

Time slowed down, and every minute and second was stretched.

Struggled to support, and silently said in my heart: "Come on, persevere!" ”

Once you can't help it and jump out of this pit, then the "Dragon Dream" will come to naught! "I kept cheering myself up and kept warning myself about the seriousness of the matter.

Tick, time passes!

One minute......

Two minutes......

Three-minute ......

It lasts until ten minutes!

"Whew"

Silently relieved, I felt the tingling sensation from my body slowly weaken until it finally stopped.

But that's not all, it's just that the molting is complete, and it will take more time to condense into a new shell, but fortunately, the next steps will be much easier.

However, it didn't take long for Yang Lingtian to understand that he was thinking too naturally, after all, theories are just theories, if the form of living things can really be changed so easily, then it would not take hundreds of millions of years for the creatures on the earth to evolve to what they are today.

As the old shell fades and the new shell grows, the eight snails that have just eaten are rapidly digested and turned into nutrients needed by the body, and turned into nutrients for the new shell.

As the transformation continues, the body is also slowly growing, and the ten-centimeter-sized "mold" is obviously not enough, and the next step is to "shape" and shape Jackie Chan.

The feeling of squeezing around him began to appear, and as the minutes and seconds passed, it was slowly increasing, and at this time, he should have grown to twelve centimeters, and he had to complete the transformation of form in this ten-centimeter-sized mold.

It's not that he has to be fixed to a ten-centimeter size, but he can only be shaped when he is born in a soft shell, and he can be detached once he has been shaped.

If it was a subtle pain and itching just now, then it is a severe pain now, and shortening the evolution of billions of years into a short moment is undoubtedly contrary to the law of biological growth, and it is bound to not be so simple.

Pain is simple, and it can even be discarded or even died, but fortunately, this is only a change in the external physical form, not a modification at the genetic level.

If you use chemicals or make genetic changes, the uncontrollable factors are greater, and you don't know what will happen.

"Impressive"

"Impressive"

Yang Lingtian unconsciously opened his mouth wide, and his mouth made an inexplicable muffled sound, obviously it was so painful that he couldn't do it, and he could only relieve the pain by venting.

"Click"

"Click"

A slight cracking sound came from the body, and I didn't know if it was the carapace or something that had changed, and the incomparably intense pain in the heart hit wave after wave.

"Uh-uh-uh"

"Uh-uh-uh"

With another wave of meaningless howls from Yang Lingtian, his whole body kept twitching, and finally he convulsed violently, and then there was no movement.

Of course, it's definitely not dead, the body's self-protection mechanism is triggered, and the pain faints, faints.

……

One minute......

An hour......

Time is slowly passing, and the stars are moving.

……

The drops of water in the sky are dripping and falling, as if someone is whispering, so beautiful and beautiful.

Such a water surface is smoky and poetic, and no one knows that two meters below the water here, there is a crayfish that has undergone earth-shaking changes, completing the "shocking" transformation, and now although it is weak, it has the possibility of becoming strong after all.

In the "Stone House", Yang Lingtian woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and everything in the house was the same.

Turning the body.

"Huh"

With a light sigh in his heart, his body was a little awkward when he moved, and when he looked down, his appearance changed greatly.

"The horns are like a deer, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like a rabbit, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, the palm is like a tiger, and the ears are like a cow."

Of course, none of these looks are available......

On the contrary, it resembles a combination of a crocodile and a crayfish, which is slightly weird, similar to the legendary dragon, except for the extra four tiny pincers and two delicate invisible claws, showing the identity of its crayfish.

Yang Lingtian was not surprised to see this, such a form was already unexpected, and he originally thought that he would make a four-way dislike.

Regardless of the so-called muscle memory, or the initial appearance of the gene, it has a memory function, and this time there will be the ontological genetic memory of the crayfish under the forced shaping, and there will be the same next time, but there will also be a "dragon-type" memory.

With the shaping again and again, with the foundation of the previous time, the next time will undoubtedly be easier and simpler, until it becomes what you want.

When the body adapts to its three changing forms, at that time, each metamorphosis and shape can be done in one step, which is really successful.

"Click"

"Click"

Lifting the dirt and molting, the sound mixed with the crisp sound of the body sounded, and it staggered out.

Who knows, a wrong step almost fell to the ground, quickly stabilize the body, feel it, except for a little unaccustomed, it feels good.

Cautiously probing, he took two steps, moving the "strange" large pincers, and twisting the claws of the lower half of his body.

Walked around on both limbs, slowly stabilized, and then put down the two big pincers, on all fours, a gust of wind galloped, no problem, the stone house was too small, but it hit the stone door with too much force.

Lift your forelimbs, rub your head humanely, get up and push open the stone door.

It is worth mentioning that this time he easily pushed the stone gate open, and it is estimated that his strength has increased by at least three times.

"Huh"

Running out with a string of water bubbles, his body and limbs and claws kept sliding in the water, which was amazing, and his speed was more than double that of before.

I can't help but feel beautiful, these days "strolling" all over the radius of 100 meters, there are countless crayfish in the nearby area, less than a dozen in a team, more than hundreds in groups, and all the crayfish have never seen the speed can match their own beauty.

"So I'm an invincible crayfish?"

"No, invincible is too hateful, it's still the strongest crayfish!"

"Hahaha!"

With a smug heart, he continued to rush out, stirring a slight stream of water.
