100 Star Coins!

The blood pupil was slightly startled, this is a lot of money. Pretty much all Hensel gave him. But he hesitated slightly, then nodded, and beckoned to the squire Jack. The attendant Jack's face suddenly turned bitter, and he took out the money in distress and counted them one by one. The shiny star coin with a unique aura of energy looks so charming. The bandage merchant's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Look, I said it's a good deal, right? Boy, from the first time I met you, I knew that investing in you would pay off. It seems that I was right. ”

"Really? But I always feel that it is not that simple. The blood pupil replied with the same expression. Then he said as if nothing had happened.

"Tropke, do you know what the Tao means?"

The Bandage Merchant was stunned for a moment, then let out a strange laugh. "Are you tempting? No, boy, that's not like your style. You're doubting me. Suspect a businessman who has helped you. I don't care, though. Well, I know what Tropuc is, and not only that, but I also know what Ketram is. ”

"Katram!?" The pupils of the blood pupil contracted suddenly, and the heart beat violently. "What's that?"

"Do you want to know the way? Your qualifications aren't enough. Wait until you're the Meteor Warrior. The bandage merchant said proudly, but he didn't want to continue answering the question of the blood pupil. Looking at him with a mysterious look, the blood pupil was helpless. In the end, I had to say goodbye and leave.

As he left the stall, the bandage merchant's voice sounded behind him.

"Boy, give you a piece of advice."

"Please."

"Gather Tropuk as soon as possible. It's new to you. When you get it together, you'll realize how long you have a long way to go. Remember, this is just the beginning. ”

The voice gradually weakened, and the blood pupil was startled, and turned around sharply, only to find that the bandage merchant was gone. In front of him was an open space. It was exactly the space where an armored car was parked.

"He's gone! He really is a hidden merchant! Jack cried out in horror, his face full of panic.

The blood pupil gave him a fierce look, which silenced him. Looking around, the blood pupil realized that none of the people around him had noticed him. It's as if the bandage merchant who just disappeared out of thin air never appeared at all.

This guy ...... It's mysterious.

And also...... Katram ...... What the hell is it? Does it have anything to do with the colony?

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... "A call pulled the blood pupil out of his thoughts. He glanced at the attendants beside him. Smile slightly.

"I'm fine. But I suddenly lost interest in wandering. Shall we find a place to rest? ”

"Good lord." The squire, Jack, knew how to read words and looks, and he replied obediently. "We can fight back and rest. Also, it's time to sort out the gear you just picked up. Especially the detector in it, be sure to bring it. ”

"Zhilu Dao, then let's go back." Blood Pupil nodded, turned and walked out of the square with Jack.

Upon returning to the shuttle, the Blood Pupil immediately locked himself in the room. Took out the lead box. As the lead box opened, the beautiful hexagonal unit appeared in front of him again. I don't know what the road is, the blood pupil can feel the surging vitality contained in it. Powerful, and completely different from the dynamism of the previously seen units.

It...... Very strong.

The Blood Pupil could feel its power at first glance. But the response of the core was lost. He didn't know how to absorb the unit anymore. Seeing that such a powerful unit was in front of him but could not absorb it, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Fingers slid lightly over the surface of the unit, and a cold touch came from the fingertips. The blood pupil has been studying for a long time, and I don't know how to open the unit without the core nucleus. In the end, he had no choice but to give up, but at the moment when he was about to put the unit back. Suddenly, I felt that the core core that had been silent for a long time moved.

The activity is slight, almost negligible. But the blood pupil was still sensitively aware of it. A wave of joy welled up in his heart. He immediately called.

"Core core, is that you?"

“…………”

"Core core?"

“…………”

It seems that there is still no response, is it just a hallucination? Blood Pupil thought a little frustrated, and reached out to the unit again. But at this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the core core. ,

The fluctuations, although slight, were extremely clear. The blood pupil is certainly not an illusion of oneself.

"Core core! Is that you? What happened to you? ”

“………………”

"Well, maybe you're in trouble right now, so how can I help you?" Blood Pupil faintly sensed a glimmer of hope, and he continued to ask.

The core still didn't respond, but soon a third wave came. This time the fluctuation was different from the previous one, with a slight hunger. It's like inducing the blood pupil countless times before it awakens.

The blood pupil understood at once, and turned his gaze to the unit in his hand.

"Is it it? Need it for you to wake up? ”

"But how do I open it?"

The core fell silent again, this time for a full five minutes, before a bloodthirsty fluctuation was heard......

"Blood!" The blood pupil woke up violently. Reach out and swipe your fingertips open. Squeezed out the blood and dripped it on top of the unit. Blood spread rapidly along the lines on the unit. It didn't take long for the entire unit to be dyed red. When the last bit of the line is also drowned in blood. The blood pupil suddenly felt a strong throbbing erupt from the unit. It's as if a hungry beast is awakening.

Immediately after, this large unit exploded in front of the blood pupil! Countless purple-black musculature burst out and rushed towards the blood pupil. The blood pupil remained motionless and allowed it to pounce on itself. Immediately I felt a sharp pain all over my body. But unlike in the past, this time the pain is not caused by the invasion of the unit, but by digestion!! This large unit actually secretes digestive juices!!

Damn it! It's not absorption! It's devouring!!

Instead of triggering its assimilation reaction, the blood stimulated its hunting routine!!

It's going to eat me!!

The blood pupil immediately understood what had happened to her. A sense of dread welled up in my heart. As the host of the colony, he knew too well the horror of hunting in the Dao unit. Once the trapping process is initiated, even steel will be melted by this carrier! No prey is known to be resistant to their digestive juices!

But even so, the blood pupil still did not escape. He believes in the core. It's as if the past has pulled him out of the line of death countless times in the past. He believes that this core core can do the same.

This is also his only hope of starting the core!

The unit's hunt proceeded quickly, perhaps because it rarely encountered such an unresisting prey as the Blood Pupil, and it let out a shiver of pleasure while hunting. Let the blood pupil even think that it is an intelligent life. But the moment it invaded the skin of the blood pupil, the core nucleus that had been silent finally moved.

It emits fluctuations of a particular frequency. This fluctuation is very similar to the fluctuation of the unit. But clearer and more accurate!

With the emanation of this fluctuation, the unit is like a kitten who is eating meets the call of its owner. The phagocytosis reaction is suddenly stopped. Followed by a violent tremble. At the same time, it also exudes strong fluctuations. Two similar fluctuations alternated in the silent room, giving the blood pupil the feeling of conversation. It's like a password.

The process is short-lived. It only took more than ten seconds, but at this time, the skin of the blood pupil was almost eroded by digestive juices, revealing the bright red muscles and black tendons underneath.

He looked terrifying, as if he had been skinned alive. Waves of intense pain rushed through his nerves. But he gritted his teeth one by one and endured it.

The volatility has finally subsided. That's when the change happened.

The unit ceased the hunting process, and the blood pupil could clearly feel the digestive juices being absorbed by it. Immediately after that, countless mud-like cells and tissues poured up. As with the fusion of the past, it began to squeeze into his body. At the same time, the unit also secretes a special fluid that repairs the cells damaged by it.

Blood Pupil's heart swelled with ecstasy. He knew that the most painful stage had finally passed.

The core core is really still supporting him!

You can feel the sensation of pinprick coming from the invasion of enhanced cells. The blood pupil closed his eyes. He waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the units would merge completely. Ten minutes later, the blood pupil only felt light. Immediately jumped up. When he looked at his body again, he saw that all his injuries had healed. But the clothes disappeared without a trace. A naked, strong body was revealed.

This is...... Already fused?

The blood pupil tentatively called out to the core nucleus in his mind......

"Core core?"

“…………”

"The core? Are you there? ”

“…………”

Still unsuccessful? Blood Pupil was a little frustrated. He shook his head helplessly, and was about to go and change his clothes. But at this time. A voice suddenly sounded in his head that made him ecstatic.

"Cell...... Received...... Reboot complete! ”

"Tropuc Colony Control Hub, start all unit inspections!"

"Discover the hand unit, find the foot unit, find the head unit, discover the body unit! Discover the leg unit! ”

"All units are fused, and the cell frequencies are synchronized!"

"All the nerves are connected, everything is normal, and it is included in the normal management range. The energy system was detected, and the host received a large amount of nutrient solution immersion and food intake, and the energy area was sufficient. Take over digestive system permissions. Improves energy absorption efficiency. ”

"Cell activation test, everything is normal."

"All the criteria are met, and the activation program ......"

"Permission required, host, activated?"

"Please...... Call me by name......"

"Tropuk!!"

"Colonization!!"

In the silent room, the excited call of the blood pupil suddenly sounded............
