Chapter 22: The Place of Origin
Lin Xi has experienced countless jumps, and he can't be more familiar with this, but this time it's different, and the destination is Lin Xi's hometown.
The light and shadow in front of him changed, the thick pressure came, the darkness hit like a tide, and a force gently but firmly pushed the body forward, after breaking through the distorted curtain of time and space, Lin Xi opened his eyes and saw a huge red beetle open its mouth and bite.
"Boom!" The sound of a symphony of hard objects.
The red beetle's mouthparts bit on the armor of Agasis, and the cold breath spread, and the beetle's eight legs swayed wildly, and its eyes rolled, as if wondering why the human in front of it was so hard.
The next moment, a frost-covered finger pressed against its head, and a thick ray of pitch-black energy erupted, and the beetle's body shook violently for a few times, and then stopped moving.
Lin Xi looked around, this was her former university, and there were all the mutilated corpses of students, and several half-human-tall giant insects were lying on them and eating them.
The scene in front of him was already very unfamiliar, but it evoked Lin Xi's long-buried memories.
She was originally an ordinary female college student, but when the end came, she was selected by Pandora to parasitize, and her fate changed abruptly.
Lin Xi thought at first that Pandora had brought about the apocalypse, but later found out that Pandora was just following the apocalypse.
When the end came, the surface space of the Blue Star was shaken, cracking countless small spatial gaps and overlapping the spatial nodes of other planes, causing the energy and creatures of the heterotopic plane to appear on the Blue Star.
The first to invade was the Corpse Realm, whose energy turned many humans into irrational zombies, followed by the Worm Realm, where countless huge and brutal insects emerged from the gaps in the slightly larger space and aimed their fangs at the weaker humans. After that, even the fairy wilderness, the fallen shadow underworld, the bottomless abyss, the garden of Joseph and other dimensional creatures have descended.
At this time, Pandora didn't know which plane she came from, and she happened to choose Lin Xi and started an endless journey of shuttle and devouring.
Pandora is self-aware, and at its peak abilities include "Singularity of the Multiverse", "Mother of Parasites", "Chaos Evil", "Dimension Ripper", "Extradimensional Predator", and "Shadow Beyond Time". It's just that her consciousness is only equivalent to that of a human child, and most of the time she only knows how to "eat". In his previous life, under the will of Pandora, Lin Xi traveled through various worlds, devoured countless monsters, became a god-like forbidden existence, and awakened the Spiritual Termination Beacon in countless soul fissions, and finally paid a tragic price to get rid of Pandora's control, and in turn used the "Shadow of Beyond Time" to be reborn.
Lin Xi was recalling, suddenly his eyes narrowed, and a familiar voice sounded in his mind:
"I'm so hungry, Lin Xi."
"This big red bug looks very delicious, Lin Xi, let's eat it."
"You're finally awake." Lin Xi had a conversation with Pandora in his mind.
Now Pandora's consciousness is imprisoned in the Spiritual Termination Beacon, completely controlled by Lin Xi. But Pandora may not care about any of this, she only exists to devour all life.
"I'm dying of hunger! Lin Xi, hurry up and start eating! Pandora cried in her head.
"You promise me a few requests first." Lin Xi said unhurriedly, "First, give me the initiative of predatory ability." Second, tell me the information about each food......"
"Good, good." Pandora said yes.
"Third, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it."
"Lin Xi......" Pandora's resentful voice echoed in his mind.
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth hooked slightly, the black spot under his left eye trembled, and fine black lines gushed out of it as if they were alive, spreading along the skin to his chin, passing through his neck and collarbone, and connecting to Lin Xi's left hand, this pitch-black substance was called a predator by Pandora.
The predator completely wrapped his left hand and quickly expanded, and a fierce giant claw appeared at the top, grabbing the corpse of the beetle in front of him, and the part of the giant claw that came into contact with the corpse split countless small cracks, and in an instant, the corpse was split into pieces and swallowed into the giant claw.
After a while, a layer of red carapace almost identical to this giant insect appeared on the surface of Lin Xi's arm skin.
"Not enough to eat! Lin Xi, there are a few more next to it! ”
"You seem to have forgotten something." Lin Xi reminded.
Pandora hurriedly stopped the sound of swallowing saliva and said quickly: "The red beetle war insect, from the insect world, is one of the most common combat-type insects in the insect world, the ability is 'red armor', the flesh is firm, and the carapace has a unique flavor, but it is too crispy and not too fresh. ”
"With your current ability, can you directly devour living monsters?" Lin Xi captured the key from Pandora's words.
"You also underestimate me Lin Xi, although I have just woken up, it is not a problem to eat this little insect raw." Pandora's tone was slightly proud.
"I'll leave it to you."
Lin Xi approached another red beetle war insect, this insect was lying on a corpse and feasting, sensing Lin Xi's approach, raised his head to Lin Xi, and the mouthparts that were still dripping blood closed one by one, posing in an attacking posture.
Lin Xi directly poked out his giant claws and grabbed the red beetle war insect like a little chicken.
The Red Beetle was uncontrollably caught in the air, first waving its limbs in panic, then its body stiffened, quickly breaking into tiny pieces, blood splattering out, and it was swallowed into the cracks of the giant claws along with the flesh and blood carapace.
Lin Xi concocted the same method and devoured all the remaining red beetle war insects nearby.
Having eaten and drunk to its heart's content, the predator retracts into Pandora's body. The sound of insects eating corpses nearby disappeared, leaving Lin Xi standing alone, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Hey, Lin Xi, isn't this the place where we first met?" Pandora put her stomach on for a moment, finally had the time to think, and said in hindsight, "We're actually back here again." ”
"You're so dull." Lin Xi said lightly.
"But I still don't understand Oh, why did Lin Xi attack me at that time, Lin Xi awakened the soul to end the beacon, I feel very happy, obviously we are one."
"......" Lin Xi was silent, "how do you think I woke up, it's not because you split my soul regardless of it. ”
"Lin Xi, don't be angry, I'm just too hungry to help it." Pandora said quickly.
"I can't understand what I told you, and you don't need to understand." Lin Xi knew Pandora's temperament very well, she didn't care about Lin Xi as a host, but her endless desire to devour overwhelmed all other thoughts.
"Aren't you a parasitic lifeform, you just need to do your duty, and the rest will be up to me."
"Got it, Lin Xi." Pandora promised, "Where are we going to eat now...... Oh no, what's next? ”
"Let's go find the student army first."
The red beetle war insect is just the lowest first-order insect in the insect world, and there are such as above
Second-order bugs such as blood centipedes, purple electric planthoppers, and even some small third-order bugs are about to cross the border.
These insects with their own difficulties made Lin Xi feel tricky, it was better to fight alone than to blend into the large army, with the help of the power of the supernatural, to protect himself while keeping his light and raising his glory.
The so-called supernatural are people who awaken their abilities under the erosion of the energy of the heterotopic plane, and can constantly break through the ability of self-improvement, they are extremely rare compared to the human base, and they are the backbone of the human race against the creatures of the heterogeneous plane.
Lin Xi followed the corpses on the road all the way forward, during which he devoured several red beetle war insects and a sickle ladybug, and came to a dormitory building.
"Lin Xi, there is a lot of food in this building." Pandora said excitedly.
Lin Xi looked up through the window and couldn't help but look out of the corner of his eyes.
"The third requirement is not to eat humans."
