......

The battle came and ended quickly.

When it stabs its evolved tail hook into the center of another Eye of the Split, the outcome is a foregone conclusion. The rapidly spreading neurotoxin will destroy the little will of the opponent, and the "blades" and "feet" that have lost control will also scatter and flee.

Looking at the collapsed body of the Split-Nest Eye, it retracted its tail hook in satisfaction.

Once upon a time, like these poor creatures, it repeated aimless gatherings and waited for the Mother of the Main Nest to decide their fate. The latter hasn't changed much, but it has become a hunter of the nest.

Compared to its original appearance, it has changed dramatically.

Using pheromones from deep-sea fish, it separates its eyes from its organs, attaches to its epidermis, and evolves a carapace full of magical power around its ribs. This greatly improves the body's defense, and even if it encounters that hateful two-legged bug again, it will not be easily invaded by the other party.

In addition, long-range combat is clearly safer than hand-to-hand combat, and it can now synthesize a violent explosive hormone in its body, which can be used to fire gallstones and bone spears. Although there is a structure borrowed from another type of inferior bug, it is much more effective overall, at least it does not rely on mana when attacking, and it is not disturbed by the Divine Stone. In order to accommodate these organs, its entire size has been more than tripled, and ordinary "blades" have no way to hold it.

Finally, there is the poisonous tail hook, which can not only deal a fatal blow to large targets, but also save the intact body in order to capture pheromones, which can be described as a powerful weapon for killing multiple birds with one stone.

There is no doubt that it is no longer the same kind of creature as the Eye of the Split.

In order to distinguish its former self, it even learned from the practices of those insects and gave itself a name - "devouring".

Devour everything, evolve yourself.

And the Split-Nest Eye, which is scattered all over the sea to collect pheromones, is undoubtedly the most valuable prey.

Then it's time to enjoy.

"Devouring" opened its carapace, and countless tentacles poured out, pulling the other party into its body little by little.

At this moment, it suddenly felt an extremely strange fluctuation-

The magnitude of the fluctuations is so great that it is as if the heavens and the earth are roaring together!

It looked at the sky, and the dome seemed to be unchanged except for the dense clouds and the high red moon, but in its eyes, the gray sky seemed to ripple and spread out into the distance.

A strong uneasiness surrounded it.

Whether it is the violent eruption of a rockfire on the bottom of the sea or the spontaneous tremor of the earth, there are all kinds of fluctuations, but none of them are as felt as they are now. It's too pure, it's full of rhythm, and that's why it's terrifying.

The ripples quickly dissipated into the sky, but before Eater could recover from his panic, a familiar smell poured into its body through its tentacles.

This is the evolutionary instruction issued by the Mother of the Main Nest!

A large number of instructions were received by the center of the Eye of the Split Nest, and a new bridge was built as it was devoured. After losing contact with the main nest for so long, it did not expect to hear the call of the tribe again in this way.

Not only that, but its body immediately recognized the content of these pheromones and subconsciously wanted to follow them!

No!

It's no longer your average nest!

It is a unique individual!

Spit out the body of the Eye of the Split Nest, "Devouring" rolled left and right to resist the residual reaction in the instinct, and the "Blade" and "Foot" guarding the side were frightened and motionless, and several tail hooks directly swept by it were slapped into meatloaf, and the surrounding sea water also stirred up large waves in the churning. It was almost with all his might that "devouring" was able to control the impulse in his heart and forcibly suppress the inducement of change.

After relieving its breath, it hesitated again and again, and finally let "Foot" get the sunken nest back. After all, if you can know the evolution direction of the race, it will undoubtedly be more convenient to hunt other nests in the future.

It carefully stabbed its tentacles back into the other's center, feeling the will of the main nest and memorizing the pheromone-laden commands one by one.

The end result was a shocking one!

This directive is also ...... Too much for a bit!

Evolution has always been a very deliberate thing, and no refactoring can be perfect in a single item, just as flexibility is always the opposite of solidity, high burst means low persistence, and to achieve perfection, it is inseparable from the overall trade-off. It is precisely because of this that every time the main nest issues an evolution order, it is made after repeated analysis and screening, and basically there are no more than two at a time, and the priority of the nest is much higher than that of the secondary vassals.

This time, however, it read a lot of evolutions that worked on both the Nest and the vassals.

For example, "endure suffering", "coagulate blood", "multiply quickly", "sharp carapace", etc...... Some of the pheromones even come from unfiltered protozonal fragments, which is the exact opposite of what the Mother of the Main Nest has done before! Not only that, but some of the instructions even cover the protozons that provide mutant pheromones, which is completely reckless!

It is true that these evolutions can greatly increase the strength of the race in a short period of time, but they also ruin the future of the race. It vaguely remembered the tendencies engraved in its veins—the ultimate purpose of their evolution was not to continue, but to fly to the higher heavens.

Once evolution is complete, it will be difficult to make up for the defects caused by inferior pheromones, and the cost of this is too great.

It could not understand the basis on which the mother of the main nest made this decision.

Fortunately, its fate has been completely separated from that of the race, and whatever that change means, it has nothing to do with it.

After dismantling the nest, Devouring dives towards the deep sea, where it quickly disappears into the waves.

......

Is it too late......

The watchman stood on the calm seashore and looked to the north.

The shallow waves crash against the shore of the island, making a monotonous and gentle rustling sound. But she knew that this was probably the last tranquility of the sea.

In the distance, the horizon was dyed a rich dark red, and from time to time you could see an arc of magic flickering in it, as if a huge storm cloud was slowly forming. It won't be long before this bloody red cloud arrives in the skies above the Dawn Realm and becomes part of the battle of fate.

And in another, more distant direction, a black "wave" was set off on the surface of the sea, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, like a moving island and reef.

Under the guidance of God's will, they will eventually come together.

She had seen it countless times.

But this time, I'm afraid, will be the last time.

Of course, that doesn't mean the end, for the whole world, it's nothing more than a new beginning. But that beginning is just another repetition of thousands of years, and the person who is watching here will no longer be her.

I don't know if the little girl managed to find her way back, she turned to look south, if only there would be a chance to see her again in the future.

Sooner, she said silently to the bottom of her mind.
