Spore Story

Chapter 31 The snail's hard shell... so heavy

"Let's go to land after this stage is completed."

Quietly approaching the small piece of mud and sand, this place is as quiet as before.Although the few soft-bodied insects that strolled leisurely were missing, occasionally there were still a few creatures swimming past above.

"That Thunder Beast is really snoozing."

Controlling a few companions not to release the electric shock to provoke the thunder beast, the thunder cautiously approached the outer edge of the mud and sand.After swallowing the off-white sand on the edge of the small piece of rock, Lei Jian quickly returned to his companion.

Those who don't know are fearless, and lightning strikes are not as easy as the creatures that swim leisurely through this mud and sand.

Let a few lightning strike insects protect themselves, concentrating their mental power and cooperating with the touch in the body to feel the swallowed sand, the lightning strike slightly emits a trace of electric current through the body, and the sand is washed away by the passing current, among which the conductive mineral The aggregation appears under the attraction of electric current.

Slowly secrete the conductive minerals and impurities separately, and observe the tiny minerals with mental power and lens eyes. The slightly transparent and crystal-clear texture makes Lei Jian, who is already close to transparent, suddenly love it.

"I don't know if it is possible now, but could this mineral be related to the strength of the Thunder Beast? Otherwise, why would it be stuck in this sandy land?"

Adhering this piece of mineral to the back also relies on the mollusk biological gut system provided by the snail, which allows the lightning strike bug to now secrete a mucus.

"This kind of mucus doesn't seem simple."

Feeling the conductive minerals appearing on the lower back, although the foreign body on the back made it uncomfortable, but for the sake of evolution, Lei Zhen happily accepted it.He looked at the companions beside him and told them not to approach the mud and sand, but to forage in this small piece of rock, while Lei Jian turned back and swam to the mud and sand. Now he needs more minerals like this to test.And these companions, after they succeed, they can safely complete the evolution in this way.

"I don't know what kind of mineral it is. Since it is useful to us and conducts electricity, let's call it calcium carbide first, haha."

———————————Accumulation of minerals————————————

"Ugh, it's so heavy."

With the shell on his back that was gradually beginning to take shape, Lei Jian didn't feel any joy.

"Although it seems that calcium carbide can be used as a component of the carapace, and it is relatively pure under the current purification, and it seems that the hardness is not bad now, but it is accumulated on the back in this way, forming only a snail or turtle-like shell. For now For me, isn’t this just a coffin.”

The lightning bugs around him looked at this strange leader curiously.Since the last time I went to the mud and sand field, a thin layer of carapace began to appear on the back of this leader worm, and its movements became slower and slower, and now it can't keep up with them.

"No, I can't go on like this. I have to think of a better way. I don't want to become an electric shock snail or electric shock turtle. It's better to let us die."

Once again catching up with his companion who stopped and waited, Lei Jian seemed to feel the mocking eyes of the other party watching the crowd.

"Damn it, it's time for another soy sauce maker."

When the eyes in front of his head looked up at his companions in front of him, he suddenly and unfortunately discovered that there was a large predator rushing towards him, but now he stopped in a relatively open place.

"Hide them all for me."

His own movement is dragged down by the shell on his back, and his speed has dropped a lot compared to before. He can't even reach the speed of the thunder and lightning before, so he has no choice but to escape.The current Thunderbolt ordered his companions near the edge of the rock to hide, and at the same time began to accumulate electricity all over his body, hoping to scare away the predators.

The predator's speed was very fast, somewhat beyond the calculation of the lightning strike. When the lightning strike had just accumulated some power, its body was bitten by the opponent's large mouthparts in front of its head, and then it was taken away from the bottom of the sea.

Looking at the seabed that was gradually moving away, the lightning strike didn't care about accumulating more energy, and the whole body burst out with electricity like a conditioned reflex, relying on the not too hard carapace on the back to slightly block the opponent's bite, and the electricity was attracted by the minerals on the back. Concentrated explosions on the carapace.

The power of the electric shock exceeding 35 points was all concentrated on the back, hitting the mouthparts of the predator biting the carapace. Even if it had a certain resistance to electricity, the soft part of the predator's mouth could not withstand such a huge electric shock. He let go of the mouthparts that were about to bite off the lightning strike, and then swam up quickly.

Pulled by gravity and falling to the bottom of the sea, Thunderbolt resisted the severe pain on his body, quickly named two Thunderbolts and dragged himself to the edge of the rock.

Perhaps before facing the predator, there was still the emotion of seeing death as home, but after being hit but escaping, Lei Jian no longer had the courage to face the opponent's attack again.

Some distance upstream, the mouthparts slowly recover from numbness, and it seems that the actual damage is not high, so the predator does not seem to intend to give up.Quickly turned around and swam back to the previous spot, but at this time Lei Zhen had already hid in the rock gap with the help of his companions, leaving the huge predator with nowhere to bite, so he had to swim around the hiding place of the Lei Zhen insects .

"what--"

He forcefully peeled off the carapace that had been broken and the fragments had penetrated deeply into his soft body. Even the lightning strike that had been numb from the pain just now was still unbearable.Blood flowed out from the wound continuously, and the inside of the peeled off carapace still carried a few pieces of flesh floating with the water.

Lei Zhen looked at the cracked carapace that had been removed by himself complicatedly, and felt that the vitality was slowly weakening with the blood flowing out of the wound, and the natural healing speed of the wound seemed to be unsatisfactory.

"Could it be that he bled to death this time? It's really funny."

The Thunderbolt rascal, who had a doomsday temperament, sighed with emotion.

If it weren't for the power accumulation effect of the carapace, he would not be able to hit the opponent's mouth with the 35-point attack of the power burst to escape;

If it weren't for the buffer of the carapace, I'm afraid I would be bitten off and die again before I even had time to release the electricity;

But if it weren't for the thickness of the carapace, he wouldn't be unable to escape the enemy's pounce, and perhaps he wouldn't appear even if he was spotted by predators.

Coupled with the difficulty of repairing the cracked carapace and the additional damage to the body, Thunderbolt firmly reconsidered the method of forming the carapace with the minerals accumulated on the back to complete this stage.

"Maybe the carapace is not fully formed, I have died countless times and my mental strength has been exhausted. As long as the opponent uses a little more force, this body will die now, although it seems to be dying now."

Looking back at the lightning bugs surrounding him, Lei Zhen felt that the breath of life was gradually weakening.

"This time is probably the slowest time to die." Lei Jian looked around with a wry smile, and darkness fell again.

[The main creature dies. 】

[Detected a multicellular life form of the same race with a spiritual imprint, the main consciousness moved to the creature. 】

……

Looking up at the predator still swimming above, the regenerated Thunderbolt looked at the lifeless body beside him, as well as the few Thunderbolts who were in confusion, the rogue shook his head as one with the body.

"It seems that the resurrection is too fast."

The rogue accepts this harmless reality, and pushes the former body into the rock crevices that are not easy to find. The regenerated Thunderbolt continues to consider its status quo.

"I admit the carapace's defensive ability and attack enhancement ability, but now there are no moving parts that can withstand it, even if there are muscle fibers. Its thickness and difficult repair are too unacceptable for me now."

"Let's consider this predator now. It seems that it has spotted me. It really holds a grudge."

Seeing that the other party still insisted on not wanting to leave, Lei Jian let out a wry smile in his consciousness.While lamenting the system's quick response to the resurrection, while temporarily putting aside his thoughts on the carapace, Lei Jian led his companions to swim along the rock crevices to the mud and sand where Thunder Beast lay dormant.And the predator who had been paying attention to the lightning bugs also turned around and chased after them.

"I feel a little hungry, but let's let the thunder beast deal with this predator first, just to see who is stronger among them, maybe I can consider being a fisherman."

Of course, the latter is just lightning strike YY.

Lei Jian and his companions were already familiar with the journey to the sandy land.Use the speed to lure the predator to the edge of the mud and sand, and the opponent also swims to the top of the mud and sand, waiting for the "fatal blow" to the lightning strike.

"You are really cooperative, but I won't be so stupid as to come out as you wish."

Slowly approaching the place where the edge of the rock is connected to the conductive sand, Lightning ordered his companions to hide, and then released an electric shock.The light blue electric current quickly disappeared into the sand, and the predator seemed to have doubts and ridicule in its eyes, quietly stopping above the sand, waiting for the lightning strike to emerge from the rock.

"Hmph, soon you won't be able to laugh."

After a short period of calm, even in the daytime, an electric shock that was as bright as the last night erupted from the mud and sand, and the eyes of the thunderbolt could not see at all at this time.

"Hmph, Thunder Beast is coming out. I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep."

Cautiously hiding behind the rock, Thunderbolt waited for the battle between the thunder beast and the predator.

But things didn't go as planned by Thunderbolt.At the moment when the electricity exploded on the sandy ground, the predator who sensed the danger fled quickly. Although his movements were still a little stiff, he was indeed far away from the sandy ground.

"Damn coward."

While cursing the predator who fled away, Lei Jian carefully gathered his whole body's electricity and hid on the edge of the rock. He had to consider his current situation and moved away slowly.

I don't know whether it is the evolution of the brain that made the Thunderbolt have the attribute of 'stupid', or the attribute of 'coward' in the Thunderbolt, or it is pure evolution that made the Thunderbolt have less coercion against the Thunderbeast. A little bit of resistance.

The tragedy happened silently like this.

The Thunder Bug who was standing next to the Thunderbolt seemed to be emboldened or something, and a weak electric current erupted from his body, and this current just attracted the guy who had just jumped out of the sand and was about to dismember him who was disturbing his sleep Thunder Beast.

Then before Lei Zhen had time to express his indignation at his companion's behavior, and turned to flee, the two tentacles above the Thunder Beast released two obviously oriented electric shock beams, paralyzing Lei Zhen and the guys around him, and then, the ever-expanding Thunder Beast's round mouth full of sharp teeth and electric currents became the last memory of the body that had just merged with Lightning and was not yet fully familiar with it.

【The main creature dies】

[Detected a multicellular life form of the same race with a spiritual imprint, the main consciousness moved to the creature]

[System Warning: Due to the excessive number of abnormal deaths at this stage, the system will extend the time interval between death and resurrection from then on. 】

……

A few lightning bugs were eating slowly around a pile of plants. The leading lightning bug suddenly paused, causing the surrounding lightning bugs to hide in the crevices of the rocks in an instant in shock.

After the leader Lightning Strike Worm's whole body erupted in an instant, the waters gradually returned to calm.

……

Looking at the few Thunderbolts hiding in the gap, the Thunderbolt who had just completed the fusion of consciousness and was still immersed in the fear of the thunderbolt's sharp teeth and thunderbolt's mouth recovered slightly.

"I didn't expect the system to be dissatisfied with the fact that I had died too much. It's really an unqualified main consciousness, me."

After observing the next four weeks, this is the edge of a rock, not far from the nest group.

"It seems that the group of lightning strike insects were completely wiped out."

"I'm really not afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs."

Looking at the few lightning bugs that came out of the gap again to continue foraging because he was not in danger, Lei Zhen sighed slightly in his consciousness.

"But it's still my fault that I didn't pay attention to let them restrain their electricity. After all, the current lightning bugs have just evolved their brains, and most of them do things instinctively. If I pay more attention, this situation will not happen. Thunder beasts are not sensitive to electric current. do not know."

"Hey--"

Feeling the amount of nutrition in the body, I am almost full.

The sunlight was also slowly weakening. After taking a few companions and continuing to destroy a bunch of plants, after filling their stomachs, Lei Zhen took a few lightning strike insects along the rock gaps and returned to the nest group where the lightning strike insects lived.

The lightning bugs that went out also returned one after another. Except for some groups that were unlucky enough to be snatched away by advanced predators with one or two companions, only the former nest of Thunder was completely empty.

The few hidden gravels outside the nest may not close again until the nest is inhabited by new lightning bugs.
