Chapter 76: Curiosity Kills Cats
If the man-eating ant completes the qualitative change again, it may become an opponent that even he will be difficult to contend with.
But Morrowind was willing to give them this chance, because he was too curious.
There is no similar example of the scene in front of me in the textbooks. Such a rare thing, he really didn't want to miss it!
……
When the tentacle's massive body disappeared, only one man-eating ant remained in the colony.
It lay motionless on the ground, breath on its body.
Morrowind stepped forward and kicked it a few times, but it still didn't react.
"It's not going to be a death, is it?" The boy frowned in thought.
What a lot of stomach does it take to eat tons of tentacle monsters and all their companions?
"It's good to have a knife, I want to dissect it." With such a small body and such a large belly, as a student with an exploratory spirit, such a thought naturally flashed through Morrowind's mind.
There are no metal knives, but there are wooden knives and stone knives in the deep forest, although they are not sharp, but they are not impossible to use.
The tenfold power in the boy's body had not completely disappeared, and he felt that he could use a wooden knife to separate the shell of the man-eating ant.
After this idea came to him, he immediately started to make several wooden knives.
"Hehe, be my test subject."
Raising the wooden knife in his hand, a grim smile crossed the corner of the young man's mouth. He raised the knife in his hand, and then heard a thud, and the knife stabbed into the shell of the man-eating ant.
"Papier-mâché?"
It shouldn't be! How could the shell of the C8 beast be so fragile?!
The boy had just used only twenty percent of his strength, but he easily stabbed into it, and after stabbing in, he felt that it was empty, not at all like flesh and blood.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
The young man did not hesitate, and his body stepped back directly.
And at this moment, the shell of the man-eating ant was completely broken.
Instead of a larger ant, a man-eating ant emerged from it, much smaller in size.
Not only has the man-eating ant changed in size, but also in color, and it is now red all over, with long hairs standing on its surface.
“B…… Class B! The boy looked at the crimson man-eating ant the size of a domestic cat in front of him, and his teeth chattered.
Originally, all the fierce beasts above grade B in this forest were wiped out by Qingyin, and he should not encounter an irresistible danger.
But curiosity killed the cat, and the appearance of this B-class man-eating ant in front of him was all made by him.
If he hadn't brought the tentacle monster ashore, it wouldn't have mutated the man-eating ant colony, and if he had exterminated the C6 or C8 man-eating ants as soon as possible, it wouldn't have a chance to evolve into a B-class......
However, facts are facts, and there are no ifs here.
Morrowind must now confront this B-class Crimson Man-Eating Ant.
Since this man-eating ant has just completed its evolution, its abilities are not very high. But a lot of times, when you fight someone, you can't just look at his ability. Ability values are just a reference, and they don't determine who will win in the end. If the stats can decide everything, then why are you competing against each other?!
Crawling out of the old shell, the Crimson Man-Eater immediately set his sights on Morrowind, because he was the only living creature here, and it wanted to eat it......
The speed of the crimson man-eating ant was so fast that the boy who had ten times the strength bonus almost didn't react. His fist slammed into the man-eater's hard head, and the man-eater was knocked out of the way, and he was equally uncomfortable.
"I take back what I just said, this TM is paper paste, it's obviously made of diamond!" Rubbing his hand and arm, which had been almost broken, the boy grinned in pain.
Strength, hardness, and the crimson man-eating ant had not yet shown all its strength, and Morrowind was helpless.
Another important point is that the strength in the boy's body is declining, while the other party is still familiar with his new body and new strength......
I eliminate the enemy, in this case, the best way is - thirty-six plans to go to the top!
I saw that the morning wind jumped into the water without looking back.
In general, ants can't do anything about prey that avoids the water, after all, they can't swim.
But this red man-eating ant is different, don't forget what it eats and evolves.
Seeing the morning breeze jump into the water, the crimson man-eating ant also jumped down.
It has evolved not only to float, but also to dive, and to be much higher than the morning wind.
"Oh my god, it's scarier than a torpedo!" Sensing the damn man-eating ant getting closer and closer, the boy took out all the power to feed.
He's not swimming, he's going ashore!
If you can't do it on the shore, you can't do it in the water, then he will go up the tree!
It's just that there is the word "ants on the tree" in the idiom, and in terms of the ability to climb trees, man-eating ants are also stronger than Morrowind.
But Morrowind is not without other ways, to climb a tree, he can't climb it. But humans have the advantage of being primates, they can shuttle through the trees, swing around the forest.
Taking advantage of this, ten minutes later, the boy finally threw the man-eating ant away.
"Well, I can finally catch my breath."
Holding on to the tree with one hand and pressing his leg with the other, the young man gasped for breath, he was really tired.
"I can't avoid him just because of that." Beasts have a good sense of smell, and Morrowind knows that his scent has been recorded by the man-eating ant. If you stay in a place for too long, the other party will definitely come to you.
Use fire!
At this time, the boy thought of fire again.
For safety, for insurance, he burned fire after fire around himself.
"That's the way it should go." With a yawn, the sleepiness that had been building up for days made the boy close his eyes completely.
……
In the dream, he dreamed of the tentacle monster again, and dreamed that the tentacles entangled him again.
He tried to open his eyes, but his whole body was weak, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.
The boy was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Waking up won't solve any problems for him, because this dream of his is also happening in reality.
Although the red man-eating ant is afraid of fire, it is not without a way to cross the ring of fire.
Drilling into the ground, this is the ant's housekeeping skill, and this point, the sleepy teenager didn't expect it at all.
After emerging from the ground, the crimson man-eating ant immediately stretched out its long hair and tied up the boy.
Its long hair can be long or short, retracted or retracted, soft or hard, and its flexibility is no worse than that of the tentacle monster. In addition to these, the Crimson Man-Eater Ant has a large number of long hairs, and it also has a poison similar to that of the tentacle monster.
Now it can be seen as a comprehensive evolution of tentacle monsters and man-eating ants, it has all of their advantages, and in the process of evolution, it also makes up for many shortcomings in the past.
