Chapter 112 Who Introduced It

4.5% for option one, 13.6% for option three, and 81.8% for option four.

……

【Option [-]】

【chaos】

Specific instructions: During [Evolution], multiple evolution directions can be mixed together to generate a new evolution direction.

……

[Chaos] was selected.Zheng Zhuo's figure began to become more ethereal.

His golden-orange body was beginning to turn cloudy.The poisonous fire churning in his chest was no longer clear and transparent.

Even Zheng Zhuo himself couldn't see clearly what was inside his body.

The flames have been extinguished, and there is nothing left to continue eating.

Zheng Zhuo slowly crawled out of the temple.

He prolongs his own flowing flame.The edge of the flame is no longer as round as before, like water stains, but presents an irregular and shapeless state.

The flames danced.appear and disappear in space.

Zheng Zhuo began to be confused about the boundaries of his own body.He looked at his body and found that there was light in his body.

Originally he was a uniform shadow.The fire flows quietly among the shadows.And now, he was a blur of flames.

Zheng Zhuo left the temple.

This time, he no longer felt the hindrance of the strong wind.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Chaos Shadow Fire (Kumquat)]

[Ability: identification, evolution]

[Evolved: Ignition, Venom, Dexterity, Territorial Awareness]

【Points: 50】

[Optional evolution: none]

……

Confirming his own changes, Zheng Zhuo once again climbed to the top of the temple.

[Chaos] did not appear in the [Evolved] part, but directly changed Zheng Zhuo's race.

He changed from [Shadowfire] to [Chaos Shadowfire].

This time the change was not as pronounced as when it changed from "wild fire" to "shadow fire", which may be why the name didn't change completely.

"The part that changed is the race, maybe it's because of the appearance. No..."

Zheng Zhuo looked at his body that was swaying in the muddy flame.

"Should it be that the texture has changed?"

Zheng Zhuo took off. [Delicacy] It didn't take him much effort to jump to the roof of an abandoned house.

From here, he could clearly see the layout of the city.The city stretches under a cloudy sky.They are dilapidated, but still stunning.

"Ok?"

Zheng Zhuo saw a faint light flickering on the top of a nearby house.

He hopped from house to house, approached the shimmering roof, and was there in no time.

"...silk products..."

The shimmering light turned out to be cloth woven with silver-blue silk threads.

Zheng Zhuo will recall the scene he saw in the golden world.Before the disaster, the roofs of every household seemed to be covered with this kind of cloth.

And, on closer inspection, a lot of cloth had been ripped from the roof all the way to the ground.

Zheng Zhuo wasn't sure if it was the monsters or their original culture.

"Can it be burned?"

Zheng Zhuo landed on the cloth.Once the damaged cloth was heated, it burned quickly and turned into black ash.

【Points: 55】

"Okay. The points are a little low, but better than nothing."

Zheng Zhuo looked down again.He wanted to find out if there were any other special buildings like temples.

at this time.

……rustle……

In the city came the sound of creatures moving.

At the corner of the streets and alleys, Zheng Zhuo saw the shadow of a monster with a swollen head and a pincer-shaped jaw.

[Territorial Awareness] marked their heat.

"The heat level is high..."

If you want to distinguish between [prey] and [enemy], it should be divided into [enemy].

Before you know it, the enemy has gathered.

All the monsters are staring at Zheng Zhuo.

"...In places with complex terrain, I should have the advantage."

[Territorial Awareness] shows that they are very strong, but Zheng Zhuo is not panicked.

Since entering the city, he has never seen anything other than vultures flying in the air, nor has he seen monsters preying on objects in the air.

"The air supremacy is with me."

With aggregation, it will be more difficult to handle.

Zheng Zhuo didn't really want to bet on whether the swarming monsters could cause harm to him.

The sense of deterrence brought by the first shot is necessary.

As for whether to eat people and transform into monsters, Zheng Zhuo was not as hesitant as he imagined.

Zheng Zhuo set his sights on the humanoid monster closest to him.

Behind the dilapidated door of the building, the monster showed its long, sickle-shaped hands.

Don't know how many points it's worth?
There was only one thought in his mind.

"[Identification]."

……

【Mantis Man】

……

Very disturbing identification results.

Zheng Zhuo spread himself out and slid towards the mantis man.

Now, he saw the whole picture of the Mantis Man clearly.

It really does look like a praying mantis.A triangular head transformed from a human skull, with huge eyes on both sides of the head.

"[ignite]."

A plume of black smoke.

The mantid's head began to burn.

Squeak——

It made a cry as terrifying as that of a mountain giant.

Wait, isn't the mountain giant also transformed from a human?
Zheng Zhuo had doubts in his heart, but his movements didn't stop.

He lunged at the Mantid.

The turbid flame fell on the mantis man's head and face.

"Okay...just like when hunting antelope..."

Creates burns, infuses poison by touch.

Zheng Zhuo tried to kill the mantis man.

However, the toxin seemed to have little effect on them, and the mantids struggled incessantly.It kept hitting the surrounding walls with its head, and Zheng Zhuo was also hit by this move.

The impact cannot cause damage to Zheng Zhuo.But in the process, the mantis kept spitting out black water.These black waters are what bothers Zheng Zhuo the most - they will affect the burning of the flame.

Just like that, Zheng Zhuo and his prey went from inside to outside the house, and for a while, there were screams and collisions.

Ouch!
With a loud bang, the mantis slammed his head to the ground forcefully.

This bump knocked its head off!

Then, it didn't stop.Instead, he got up from the ground and quickly fled back to the house.It climbed to the top of the house, grabbed the silver-blue cloth there, swung its six legs quickly, and crawled towards the distant buildings.

what! ?

Zheng Zhuo was holding the mantis man's head tightly all the time.This time, it really caught him off guard - he really didn't expect the other party to be able to act without a head.

Seeing that the points in his hand were about to disappear, Zheng Zhuo dropped his almost digested head and flew up.

He followed the mantis and flew forward.

Mantis crawl very fast.It climbed and jumped, over the dilapidated city.

The twilight in front of my eyes is getting brighter and brighter.

Zheng Zhuo saw countless silk fabrics entangled and gathered in one place.The nests wrapped in layers of silver-blue silk threads covered the insides of several collapsed houses.

That's where the mantis man was heading.

Soon, the headless mantis disappeared under the nest.

"The mantid's... lair?"

Zheng Zhuo failed to catch up with the Mantis Man.However, he saw the nest.

"This is the surprise."

Zheng Zhuo landed on the nest made of silk fabrics.Without a doubt, he lit it up.

The silk thread is connected to the cloth, and the cloth is connected to the silk thread.

All the fabric collapsed towards the middle.They fell into the center of the nest - where Zheng Zhuo was.

The U-shaped terrain is like an automatic firewood pot prepared for Zheng Zhuo.During the raging fire, the easy-to-burn silk fabric made Zheng Zhuo's points increase exponentially.

In the blink of an eye, the value of evolution was reached.
