Chapter 49: Genetic Invasion
Although the queen ant is quite large, each leg is thicker than Ye Feng's arms. But fusing genes requires a lot of biological energy, and Ye Feng still ate all the ant legs.
Fortunately, the gene fusion was completed in time, otherwise Ye Feng would have to hunt more alien beasts to satisfy his hunger.
The emotionless voice of the civilization flame sounded again: "The fusion of the military ant genes has been completed, the host strength has been significantly improved, and the jumping ability has been slightly enhanced. ”
Ye Feng asked the civilization fire in surprise: "How can you improve the two abilities?"
The civilization fire told Ye Feng: "The ant queen hunted by the host is a bronze intermediate alien beast, plus the genes of many worker ants, so there is such a result. ”
"I see...... Ye Feng suddenly realized, and soon said happily: "After hunting a bronze beast, the results of the exam must be very good, this time the luck is really good!"
Ye Feng was not only happy, but also did not forget to collect the loot.
There are no valuable materials on ordinary army ants, but the queen's jaws are different. Experienced craftsmen can make them into double knives or other weapons, and they can still be sold for some money.
It took Ye Feng a lot of time to pry the queen's jaws off. He tried to cut down a tree with one of them, and it didn't take much effort to cut off a small tree the size of an arm.
The sharpness of the parts on the beast's body is actually comparable to that of a sharp steel knife, and it also makes people have to admire the magic of the creator.
After obtaining the queen's jaws, Ye Feng also found that there was a very obvious bulge in the queen's abdomen. He carefully dissected the queen's belly and found that the bulge turned out to be an ant egg.
This made Ye Feng a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Alas, chicken ribs!"
Although eggs are rare, not every egg is welcome.
Riding alien eggs like the Bladehorn can of course sell for a lot of money in the market. And military ants can neither be trained into combat beasts nor can they be ridden, and queen ant eggs have no other use except as food, no wonder Ye Feng said so.
However, at this moment, the voice of the civilization fire suddenly sounded: "This egg is not completely useless, if it is modified using genetic invasion technology, it will be of great help to the host." ”
Ye Feng immediately came to his senses and asked with interest, "What is gene invasion technology?"
"To put it simply, it is to inject the host's genes into the eggs of the alien beasts and establish a spiritual link between the host and the alien beasts. The Flame of Civilization told Ye Feng: "After the alien beast hatches, it will regard the host as the master and completely obey the host's orders. ”
Ye Feng said happily: "This technique is good, as long as I find the eggs of alien beasts in the future, I can do this, and I can establish my own alien beast army!"
The Flame of Civilization didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked Ye Feng: "Have you developed genetic invasion technology?"
"Don't!" Ye Feng hurriedly stopped the fire of civilization: "It's better to wait until I get enough alien beast meat, otherwise I will starve to death before the new technology is developed!"
However, Ye Feng's good luck seemed to run out, and he didn't encounter any strange beasts worth using in the next few days. Seeing that there were only two days left before the monthly exam, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and was mentally prepared to buy alien beast meat to develop genetic invasion technology after returning to school.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ye Feng found a suitable place to camp and planned to camp. Just as he set up his tent, he heard hurried footsteps and the roar of strange beasts.
Ye Feng hurriedly picked up the longbow and ran in the direction where the voice came from. He had just walked around a row of bushes when he saw an unexpected scene.
Zhang Man was running forward desperately, her long sword had long been missing, her clothes had been torn in many places, and there were obvious wounds on her body, which looked very embarrassed.
The two fang-toothed beasts chased after Zhang Man, letting out a low roar from time to time, apparently taking her as prey.
Although Zhang Man has been entering the military academy for a month, he has actually just become a black iron martial artist for a few days. With her strength, she can deal with one fang-toothed beast enough, and when she encounters two, she can only flee for her life.
However, Zhang Man had been injured in the previous battle, and his escape was now at the limit. She only felt that she was out of breath, and her steps were getting slower and slower. Hearing the footsteps of the fang-toothed beast getting closer and closer, Zhang Man couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Is it about to end?"
Before the monthly exam, the instructor said that the casualty rate of each exam was 2%, and Zhang Man felt that he would definitely appear on the casualty list.
However, at this moment, Zhang Man suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow flew across her cheek, followed by the painful howl of the fang-toothed beast behind her.
Zhang Man looked up in surprise, and immediately saw a familiar figure not far in front of her, it was her old classmate Ye Feng.
At this moment, the girl regained the hope of survival, and the joy of escaping death brought tears to her eyes.
"Run, don't stop!" Seeing Zhang Man's footsteps slowing down, Ye Feng hurriedly reminded her loudly while shooting an arrow at the second fang-toothed beast.
At the moment, people's lives are at stake, and Ye Feng doesn't dare to be careless, not only using a sharp arrow specially created by Hu Hao, but also using his true qi.
Both arrows hit the target accurately, and the first fang-toothed beast was shot through the neck by the arrow, and it was able to survive for a while.
The second fang-toothed beast was shot directly in the head, and half of the feathered arrow was shot into the beast's head, and it fell to the ground without saying a word.
At this time, Ye Feng had already felt next to Zhang Man, took two steps forward to protect her behind him, and shot another arrow at the fang-toothed beast not far away.
The arrow hit the target in the throat, and the already injured fang-toothed beast could no longer hold on, and let out a miserable scream from the sky, and fell to the ground without moving.
From the time Ye Feng saw Zhang Man to the present, it was only a blink of an eye, and the two fang-toothed beasts that had pushed Zhang Man into a desperate situation were wiped out by him.
At this time, Ye Feng turned around and asked Zhang Man, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Man glanced up at Ye Feng, and suddenly threw himself into his arms and cried bitterly.
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but then gently patted the girl's jade back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, you're safe......"
"Woo......" Zhang Man vented his emotions to the fullest, and tears soon wet Ye Feng's shoulders.
Knowing that Zhang Man was frightened a lot, Ye Feng didn't push her away immediately, but asked her to calm down first.
After a while, Zhang Man's mood finally stabilized, and he hurriedly took two steps back and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." ”
Ye Feng smiled slightly: "It's okay, but does your injury matter?"
Zhang Man found out that he was injured, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries, and it didn't matter much.
What made Zhang Man even more concerned was that her clothes were torn to tatters, and even her skin was exposed in many places, so she hurriedly blocked it with her hands when she was shy. However, there were too many torn places in his clothes, and Zhang Man couldn't stop it at all, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious.
Ye Feng hurriedly took off his coat and draped it on Zhang Man's body, finally avoiding embarrassment.
Zhang Man glanced at Ye Feng gratefully, then looked at him and smiled.
However, Ye Feng and Zhang Man didn't notice that in the woods dozens of meters away, someone was looking at them with gritted teeth.
