Chapter 0573: Second Branch: Surrender

The bursting tempered glass, like a puff of crystal waves, disintegrated with the pouring culture liquid.

This furious punch stunned Joan, who was brandishing a battle dagger next to him and fighting with the sample creatures, hoping to lure them away, and was almost knocked away by a giant pig with more than a dozen deformed arms growing out of his back and a string of dense hearts under his belly!

Although I have seen all kinds of magical things in this BOSS,

But all along, he has behaved like a legal profession, even if he has mastered the skills of various melee professions, he is rarely seen to use them, and he is more inclined to use various magical spells to solve problems.

But no matter how magical it is, breaking a ten-centimeter-thick tempered glass petri dish with one punch seems to be a little too inhuman, right?

Is this still something that can be done by humans?

The exploding petri dish also seemed to frighten the sample creatures who gathered around, and the attack action involuntarily paused, and they did not dare to approach in fear.

Eryi raised his arm and glanced at it, shaking his head helplessly, his fists and finger joints were twisted undescriptively, and even the bionic carbon bones inside were broken in the punch just now.

Why is he rarely involved in hand-to-hand combat?

Isn't it because this puppet double is not suitable for combat at all?

In order to pursue authenticity, the strength of the puppet stand-in naturally cannot be forced.

Although he has half the strength of the main consciousness, due to the limitations of this body, some abilities cannot be perfectly exerted at all.

If you change your main consciousness to release this [Devastating Blow] + [Sonic Smashing Wave], you won't be harmed!

It seems that the stand-in puppet has to find a way to upgrade as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to the high-intensity battle at all.

"So, I'm not fit to be a warrior at all!

Eryi sighed, and after using [Repair] to restore his broken hand bones, he frantically brushed the [Medical Animal] on the silverback gorilla.

Although it was out of the petri dish, the effects of the inhibitors and anesthetics remaining in the body had not subsided so quickly, and the silverback gorilla struggled several times and could not get up.

But fortunately, those specimen creatures seemed to be very afraid of the presence of the silverback gorilla, and even if it collapsed in the remains of the petri dish, the surrounding specimen creatures only dared to roar at them, but did not dare to approach at all.

After raising the spell level of [Medical Animal] to Tier 1 or higher, even a behemoth like the silverback gorilla quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the hair that fell out grew quickly!

Feeling the recovery of his strength, the silverback gorilla suddenly stood upright, slammed his chest with his thick arms and roared majestically, and then waved his thick arms to smash the remains of the petri dish into pieces in anger, obviously hating this thing that imprisoned him.

After venting his anger for a while, the silverback gorilla turned around with a snort, stared at Eryi fiercely for a while, and actually lay down his huge body, lowered his head and stretched out his huge palm to him.

This action made Eryan pause, and the silverback gorilla, who did not wait for his response, raised his head and peeked at him with a flattering expression...... Inexplicably a little cute?

Reacting to this, Eryi smiled, reached out and grabbed one of its thick fingers and shook it, signing the [Animal Companion] contract that had just been activated for it.

In the gorilla population, bowing down and hanging the head is a gesture of surrender and trust to the leader.

Although there is no in-depth study of the animal's motor language.

But Eryi has watched a few movies with orangutans as the main character, so he naturally knows the meaning of this action.

Animals are sensitive to their senses and can instinctively distinguish between malice and kindness.

Coupled with the fact that the two have the [Animal Affinity] specialty and a series of animal spells on their body, this sense is amplified even more.

Although this peculiar silverback gorilla has unexpectedly evolved intelligence, it still retains more of an animal's nature and simple thinking, and they are willing to trust whoever treats them well, so when Eryi completes its promise to let it out, it naturally gains its trust.

And the sense of power he showed when he punched the petri dish that the silverback gorilla regarded as a "cage" was also the main reason why it instinctively surrendered to the strong.

The gesture of reaching out and holding the fingers of the silverback gorilla also represents a message of "recognition" and "acceptance", which is a signal as the "leader" to allow the silverback gorilla to join his "group".

After this simple and primitive "ritual", Erji and his companions will be regarded as "their own orangutan" by the silverback gorilla, and will faithfully protect them as members of the group.

As an emotional primate, this unreserved trust tends to last for a long time, until one of them dies.

Therefore, as long as Eryi is not idle, cruelly abuses it all day long, and does something to betray its trust, this silverback gorilla will loyally trust him for the rest of his life.

In addition, the surrender ritual shown by the silverback gorilla does not seem to be acceptable, because not accepting the kindness it expresses seems to be a kind of distrust and betrayal in itself...... He didn't want to be beaten by a mutated and evolved silverback gorilla at this time, because of sadness and disappointment.

Seeing that Eryi "recognized" him, the silverback gorilla screamed happily and rolled around him to express his excitement, but frightened the surrounding specimens to flee in all directions.

After a while, the laboratory was completely reduced to rubble, and a large number of test subjects were wreaking havoc on all sides, slaughtering the researchers, and turning the target of attack on the specimens who had been scared away by the gorillas.

Although the specimens were very cowardly when confronted by gorillas, they were very brutal when confronted by the humanoid test subjects.

In particular, the grape pig dragging a bunch of hearts, a body not much smaller than an elephant, rampaged through the ruins of the laboratory, arching the herd of humanoid test subjects into the sky.

However, because these monsters have colonized the spores of parasitic fungi, they have the regenerative properties of certain spore organisms, and the injuries that were originally very fatal to the creatures can be quickly recovered for them.

What's even more terrifying is that they are still devouring each other!

The grape pig actually knows how to use the deformed arms on its body to grab the broken bones and tendons that are arched by it, and the experimental subjects who can't move for a while and stuff them into their mouths, chewing like eating turnips!
