In the early morning, the gloomy living room finally returned to light......

Falling into the paper bag on the ground, Chu Lei opened his eyes suddenly, with a serious palpitation, his eyes were covered with fine bloodshots, and his face had an unconcealable exhaustion, as if he had been awakened from a nightmare, and in fact it was.

He took a few deep breaths and calmed down his violent wheezing because of nervousness, he didn't sleep all night last night, staring at his eyes all night, fortunately, except for the giant insect, he didn't encounter any other monsters after that, and he didn't hear any unusual sounds, until the sky was bright, he couldn't help but be sleepy and fell asleep.

But looking at the sky outside, he obviously didn't sleep long before he was woken up by a nightmare, although there was still a strong sense of fatigue, but Chu Lei didn't plan to rest anymore, after the attack of the giant insect last night, he knew that the house was not as clean as he imagined, so he was ready to put down everything else today, first find a hiding place that can absolutely protect his safety and then think about other things!

It's not safe enough to draw a paper bag, it's okay to block the giant insect yesterday, if a mouse suddenly appears, then he will stop eating completely!

Scanning around vigilantly, he cautiously crawled out of the paper bag, and the corpse of the giant insect fell not far away, always reminding him that the world is full of dangers now, so he is no longer as relaxed as yesterday when walking in the living room, and he is always vigilant.

But as he walked towards the box of chips, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the motionless insect corpse, and his eyes were full of surprise!

Looking at the corpse of this bug, Chu Lei instinctively didn't want to approach, but he felt as if there was something on this bug's body that was attracting him!

He was still calm, and did not act rashly, but frowned and felt this strange impulse, and after careful feeling, he found that this impulse did not come from himself, but from the spiritual thread in his body!

The confusion in his eyes deepened, why did the spirit thread react to the corpse of this bug? And the reaction was so fierce that it even indirectly affected myself!?

Chu Lei's heart was full of doubts, looking at the motionless insect corpse, thinking about it again and again, and finally decided to take a look, this reaction of the spirit line is obviously abnormal, and now the spirit line is where he is fundamental, he knows very well that if there is no spirit line, it will be more difficult for him to live in this world, so he must figure out why the spirit line is abnormal!

After confirming that the insect was indeed dead, Chu Lei walked in front of the insect corpse, and looked at the pair of terrifying forelimbs covered with spikes up close, he knew how lucky he was last night, if it wasn't for the protection of the paper bag, with the speed and ferocity of this bug, he would only have to lead the neck to be slaughtered!

Although his heart was palpitating, it was dead, and there was nothing to fear from a corpse, and at this moment he was circling the corpse and began to examine the cause of the reaction of the spirit thread.

Then, he was surprised to find that this insect corpse was attracting himself as a whole, or rather attracting the spirit line, especially when he was close to the pair of forelimbs, the spirit line actually had a feeling of coming out of the body, just like the feeling when the spirit line was first discovered yesterday!

After feeling it carefully, Chu Lei finally knew what was attracting the spirit line, on this insect corpse, he could feel the energy fluctuations similar to the spirit line, but it was not the same, he closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, Chu Lei was sure that there was indeed an energy similar to the spirit line flowing in the insect corpse!

This couldn't help but make Chu Lei even more curious, could it be that this insect corpse also had an energy like a spirit thread on its body, and this feeling was just a reaction of their mutual attraction?

Through yesterday's exploration, Chu Lei knew that the spirit line was a mysterious linear energy, as for what kind of energy is unknown, but he has a feeling that it is likely to be brought about by the huge meteor shower, and the shrinkage of his body size should also be caused by the meteor shower.

So, if you can see things like physical changes and awakened spiritual threads, can it be understood that other creatures have also undergone some kind of mutation or have the same energy?

Looking at the insect corpse in front of him, although there is an extra pair of forelimbs, no matter in terms of appearance or volume, this is clearly a common cockroach before the end of the world!

And the position of the forelimbs is extremely abrupt, as if it was born and grown from its body, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is deformed, therefore, Chu Lei guessed that this should be a mutated cockroach!

"After mutating, these monsters have become more murderous and ferocious?" With the example of the mutant cockroach, although he was skeptical, Chu Lei had already affirmed this idea in his heart!

Thinking of this, Chu Lei couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, after the size was reduced, he had no chance of winning in the face of those animals whose body size had not changed, if these animals were still mutated, and they were all extremely murderous, wouldn't he be even more dangerous?

The previous desire to explore had completely disappeared under this conjecture, and Chu Lei planned to quickly find out the abnormality of the spirit line and find a place that could absolutely protect his safety as a hiding place!

But Chu Lei has never encountered such a situation, he can only rely on his own slowly groping, fortunately, he himself is a person who likes to think, and the object of thinking is still his extremely curious spiritual line, after thinking about it again and again, he still stretched out his left hand, and with a ruthless heart, he put his palm on one of the thin feet of the insect corpse!

In an instant, a strong impulse rose in Chu Lei's heart, an impulse that he would never have produced!

"Eat?"

Chu Lei was stunned, he had never thought of eating this insect corpse, but fortunately he didn't really put it into action, he just frowned and thought, during which he didn't let go of his hand, but carefully felt this indescribable impulse.

Later, Chu Lei found that this was not simply a desire to eat, if he really wanted to say it, this urge was more like the so-called 'devouring' or 'absorption', eating was just his instinctive expression in his own understanding.

As time passed, this impulse became more and more obvious, Chu Lei decisively let go of his hand, and found nothing else, but the spirit thread always reported a strong desire to devour.

"The spirit thread wants to devour the energy in its body?" Feeling the impulse in his body, Chu Lei still decided to do an experiment, of course, this experiment has a certain risk, because he doesn't know what kind of chemical reaction will occur after the spirit line enters the insect corpse!

Chu Lei is not an indecisive character, since he has already made a decision and immediately started to act, of course, he naturally can't take out all the spirit threads at once for experiments, now the spirit threads are only ten meters long, and any loss is enough to make him feel distressed!

So he intercepted a one-meter-long spiritual thread, and then, controlled this spiritual thread to penetrate into the inside of the insect corpse, the spiritual thread seemed very excited, and after entering the insect corpse, it began to swim quickly in the body!

"Huh? It's getting longer?! Chu Lei had always maintained a high degree of attention, and what made him feel ecstatic was that the spirit line, which was obviously only about one meter before entering the insect corpse, actually began to extend rapidly, just like a greedy snake, and the speed was very fast!

In less than a minute, the spirit line, which was originally only about one meter long, had been extended to thirteen meters, and it was still extending!

Chu Lei didn't know if this situation was good or bad, he tried to control the spirit line, the spirit line was still controlled, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also had new doubts, because now this spirit line seemed to feel a little different, but his intuition told him that this was a good thing!

Chu Lei didn't know why, so he didn't act rashly, and let the spirit line devour the energy in the insect's corpse.

A few minutes later, the spirit line had grown to forty-seven meters, and at this time, Chu Lei intuitively felt that in addition to the strong energy response of the forelimbs, the energy response of other parts of the insect corpse was already much weaker, and it was not as active as before, giving people a feeling of dying.

The spirit line was more direct, as if it could no longer look down on this faint energy, and began to rush towards the pair of forelimbs full of energy response.

The spirit line still has a strong desire to devour, so Chu Lei didn't stop it, but what surprised and puzzled him was that the energy contained in this pair of forelimbs was obviously much richer than that of other parts of the insect corpse, and before he could absorb the energy of one of the forelimbs, this spirit line had already reached the level of 100 meters, and it was still devouring wildly, as if there was no limit!

The spirit line devoured wildly, and the energy in the insect corpse quickly decreased, while the spirit line became longer and longer, until finally, this spirit line had extended to nearly two hundred meters!

Like the rest of the insect corpse, when most of the energy in the forelimbs of this pair was absorbed, the remaining 'residue' spirit line seemed to be invisible, and Chu Lei also felt that the spirit line had returned to normal and no longer transmitted the desire to devour to him.

For this, Chu Lei felt that it should not be that the spirit line could not look down on it, but that these 'residues' were different from the energy that the spirit line could devour, and what was swallowed by the spirit line was some active and obvious energy, and these residues had a dying feeling, as if they would dissipate at any time.

Chu Lei guessed that these residual energies may have been absorbed by the insects, or other energy, although Chu Lei was a little unwilling but helpless, the only thing worth doubting was that if you eat the meat of this worm, can you also increase your energy?

Of course, this is just Chu Lei's conjecture, he didn't plan to do it, he still knows about cockroaches, they carry a large number of viruses and bacteria on their bodies, and there may be nematodes in their bodies, so before confirming that it is safe, even if it can increase energy, he will not try it easily!

Instead of thinking about these, now Chu Lei is looking forward to the physical strengthening that the spirit line brings to him!

This is a spiritual line about two hundred meters long, calculated by double that of ten meters, this one can allow him to obtain nearly twenty times the physical strength enhancement, if you add the secondary strengthening of the spiritual line, at least forty times the strengthening speed!

Therefore, Chu Lei couldn't wait to summon the spirit thread from the worm's corpse, and after checking it to make sure that there would be no danger, Chu Lei withdrew the spirit thread back into his body!

In an instant, Chu Lei felt that his body was full again, but his face did not show surprise, but was full of doubt......

"Not twenty times, not even double......" Feeling the strength of his body, Chu Lei said with some disappointment.

Later, in order to verify this, Chu Lei removed the other spirit threads from his body, and after several comparisons, he finally came to a fact that made Chu Lei extremely disappointed......

After deducting the one meter of spirit line that he put in, the strength brought by this devoured spirit line was only about two meters equivalent to the spirit line that Chu Lei himself had, that is to say, the quality gap between this energy and the spirit line was a hundred times worse!

In addition, this thread cannot be attached now, which means that his body cannot be strengthened twice......

"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world...... Chu Lei shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, he originally thought that he would get a big surprise, but he didn't expect that he just thought it was too good, and he thought about it, if it was so easy to improve his physical fitness, then even if the body shape of those creatures did not change, it would not be much of a problem.

Now that he thinks about it, Chu Lei has deeper doubts in his heart, is this the end of the world now? Although his body has shrunk a hundred times, he has also awakened his abilities, and now he sees a path that can strengthen his body......

He had the illusion that he was now playing a real game, slaying monsters, gaining experience, leveling up, and so on......

Soon, Chu Lei stopped thinking about these things, it was meaningless to him, instead of conjecturing here, it was better to quickly find a hiding place that could absolutely protect his safety, he didn't want to be like last night, he couldn't sleep all night in fear!

At this point, Chu Lei discovered the fifth characteristic of the spirit line and named it, Devour!

At the same time, it also gave this energy obtained by devouring a relatively easy name to remember, psionic energy.
