Chapter 6: The Beginnings
Syllable~
With a tender green root tentacle that seems to be soft but is actually extremely tough, gently touching the charred ground to support the body.
In the sea of fire, the remaining tentacles saw that it was touching the ground and was fine, so they hung down one after another to wrap the fragile core inside into a ball and turn it into a ball. This slug, which completed its first evolution and broke the shackles of the race, was already a magic touch worm, and after inadvertently absorbing the entire early stage of the mature demon, it continued to start a new round of evolution.
It's just that unlike the large-stage evolution that completely changed the life form just now, it quickly digested the energy of the demons when it entered the early stage of maturity, and the tender green root system stretched out again. The difference was that a layer of purple flames suddenly ignited on it, enveloping its entire body and making it appear blurry in the sea of fire.
"Eat...... Food ......"
Having not broken through from the early stage to the middle stage of the mature body, the demon touch insect Hongmeng's brain domain that was full of fire gradually became clear like a baby's mind, and under the guidance of the instinct that continued to evolve and become stronger, he planned to find food rich in energy like the demon just now. However, it currently walks in a strange way, using its root plant tentacles to constantly stretch and move forward on the ground.
This strange way of traveling is extremely inefficient, and occasionally comically trips itself, entwining its root tentacles. But soon, as a toddler fumbled around, the Devil Touch became completely familiar with his new siblings. Twisting his body, moving in a good way, his speed becoming slightly faster to complete the transition from slow to fast walking.
In the flames of the scorched earth, it began to search for food slowly. Soon, a small flame demon more than two meters tall appeared not far in front of it.
"Curry... GAYGAY~" Its eyes the size of copper bells were comfortably closed, and the stone lump that was squatting on the ground was cultivating. The surrounding waves of fire continued to refine with the continuous traction of the core in its body, intentionally or unintentionally, moving closer to it, connecting with its own flames and making it impossible to distinguish each other.
Of course, the fire demon, whose perception of the outside world had become quite sluggish, did not notice that the tender green tentacles behind him were climbing on his back. Like plant roots, they slowly invade through the cracks of their stone bodies. Wherever the roots of the erosion passed, all the flames and nutrients in the stones were plundered and absorbed, and they rolled down into useless sand and gravel.
Like a person who is sleeping soundly, he is suddenly bound by a chain that is hot and red. The fire demon was awakened by the sharp pain in his body, and blurted out a roar of 'curry gayagy', and his big rough hands quickly grabbed the culprit. Like twisting a thin thread, it grabbed the slender body of the magic touch insect and tried to pull it out of its body.
"Curry GAYAGY!! (Ge Lao Tzu Out!)" The roar of the fire demon even alarmed the surrounding companions, and the fire demons of different physiques were attracted by its voice. Either they were curious, or they wanted to pick up the leaks, and they saw a scene that made the stone heads chill.
The body was caught, and the demon touch worm that had already realized that it had been discovered aroused its ferocity. The slowly rooted tentacles stumbled and spread rapidly, progressing towards its rocky internal roots. When the fire demon pulled it up like a leather band, like a stone completely eroded by vines, its tender green roots were already squirming in and out everywhere.
There is no help.
IN THE EYES OF THE FIRE DEMONS, THE BODY OF THIS SAME KIND QUICKLY DISSOLVED INTO A USELESS PIECE OF SAND AND GRAVEL UNDER THE BINDING OF AN UNKNOWN THREAT.
"Curry GAYAGY!" The fire demons, who were not afraid to die in the fierce violence, scattered and fled in all directions as they watched this terrifying scene. There was no thought of resisting at all, as if he had seen a deadly nemesis.
Smack~ The magic touch insect that fell to the ground again after sucking it clean was not calm, and the purple flame on its body fluctuated violently.
“...... Food...... Eat ......" This thought was surging in his brain, like a hungry baby who saw a bottle, and he hurried to find one to chase after him. It's a pity that its awkward way of traveling can't catch up at all, and the two big thick stone legs of the fire demon shook the ground. After a while, due to a mistake in anxiety, several of its tentacles became entangled again and stopped moving.
What to do? The uncivilized brain can't think of a way.
Almost under the control of instinct, its thirty-six tender green tentacles began to writhe and tentatively combine on its own. One by one, they were wound around the other, and the fragile purple pyramidal core was pushed to the center, and the slender limbs intertwined by tender green tentacles slowly took shape, and in a moment when the important limbs were formed, the unimportant torso came out faster.
After a while, a tentacle writhing around in the same place was gone.
Instead, it is a slender, cat-like green creature made up of root tentacles.
When its new stance was complete, the Devil Touch tried to take a step forward with one of its front arms. But for the first time, it suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground. The tentacles on the torso that were originally separated, the branches were peeled off and swayed, and they were not obedient at all. Fortunately, the magic touch insect doesn't know what giving up is, and the genetic information of the black cat that ate it was activated little by little by it subconsciously.
After failing to reorganize again and again, the new body simulated by the magic tentacle with thirty-six slender tentacles can already walk like a cat, and it is still not far from running and jumping while cooperating with each other.
......
In the sea of fire in the wasteland plain, soon a slender green vine cat was freshly baked. It ran and jumped merrily in the fire, its powerful limbs, and its green tentacles wriggled in rhythmic undulations as it ran.
This isn't a catharsis for the Devil Touch to celebrate the mastery of a new skill, because it doesn't know what joy is. It was running and jumping fast at this time, in fact, just to catch up with a panicked fire demon in front of it, to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the new students after learning new skills.
It didn't take long for two heavy legs to run four light legs. It's hard to imagine that a two-meter-tall, behemoth-like flame demon would one day be cornered by a 'petite' cat close to half a meter behind him.
"Curry GAYAGY!!" The fire demon who can't run anymore, even if he thinks with his ass, knows what he's going to face. But it had no choice, roaring like its predecessors, swinging its fist and smashing it back.
"CURRY GAYAGY?!(HIT?!)"
The momentum was like a rainbow, and this life-sacrificing blow really smashed into the unsuspecting demon touch insect behind him, and smashed it to the hard charred ground. It's just that the touch is a little wrong, as bizarre as a stone falling into cotton. But it didn't wait for it to continue to think about it, the tentacles of the demon tentacles under the fist that were twisted in shape spread out to the fire demon like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
The tentacles that rushed to its eyes were no longer tentacles, but a huge mouth that held it in one bite.
Attached to it, the root tentacles of the magic tentacles quickly snaked along the gap. Rooted in the depths, greedily sucking all the energy of this fire demon, and began to eat violently!
"Curry...... GAY.... AGY struggled no more, the flames on his body gradually extinguished, and the fire demon fell to the ground with a wail and turned into a pinch of loess.
On its wreckage, several tentacles of the magic tentacles twisted and reorganized into a green vine cat, running and continuing to chase the next food in the sea of fire.
That back is elegant, cold.
In this way, under the insatiable slaughter, the demons in this sea of fire can no longer recall the days when they were dominated by fear. Because when the sea of fire is extinguished, on the scorched earth, there is only a mid-mature 'green cat' that surrounds the purple flame.
