This is no exaggeration.
On this planet, perhaps the origin of life was very likely billions of years ago.
From the primitive creatures to the present day, creatures have spread to every corner of the world.
So far, humans, as the most successfully evolved species, have only known most of the environment on the planet's surface.
In the dead deep sea, the deep underground, and the vaster universe and starry sky, they are still full of unknowns.
It is very possible that other creatures exist.
According to the information Chen Ling left behind before her death, it can be deduced that what is now parasitic in her body comes from fossils salvaged from the seabed.
Evolving over a long period of time, countless species have climbed up the tree of life along countless branches.
It is not surprising that some species have experienced fusion phenomena that can be called miracles of life.
For example, humans, as eukaryotic organisms, have mitochondria called energy factories that exist in most cells in the body. Through current research, humans have long discovered that mitochondria have an independent and complete protein synthesis system, which is different from the protein synthesis of general eukaryotic cells. Compared with synthetic systems, most of the characteristics of protein synthesis in mitochondria are very similar to those in bacteria.
This fully illustrates a simple truth. In the process of evolution, eukaryotic cells once engulfed bacteria and retained their mitochondria as symbiotic organs, forming a symbiotic relationship that continues to this day.
However, Yang Xiao knew that this was the most optimistic fantasy.
To put it simply, the monster inside the body may be able to coexist with the human body. Although it is only a preliminary study, this monster does bring many benefits to the human body, not to mention the fusion ability.
However, the side effects of this fusion are still unknown.
For the human body, will the fusion of monster tissue gradually erode the brain and change his thinking? With most of his internal organs replaced, can he still be considered a human being? Has the genetic material in the body been affected or changed?
Also, does he still have the ability to extend his life?
Looking underneath him, Yang Xiao fell into deep thought.
After all, I am just an unprecedented exception. Perhaps it is just an inconspicuous wave in the long history of human life.
After studying paleontology for many years, the last thing Yang Xiao believed in was ancient myths. From various historical materials collected from various places and research on real fossil samples, he knew that there were no gods or monsters in this world.
He has always believed that life is just a beautiful accident of the birth of the universe on this planet.
As for the origin, maybe a wandering comet? Maybe it was a spacecraft that accidentally passed through the solar system but broke down.
On top of the ancient tree, after devouring the wild boar, the energetic Yang Xiao kept trying.
He discovered that only when transforming, some of the warmth in the body would be consumed. Maintaining the transformed state will not continue to consume. In other words, after transforming, he can always exist in a half-animal state, or a fully animal state.
From a black panther, to a wild boar, and back to a human again.
Yang Xiao felt that every time he transformed, he would consume about ten percent of his energy.
In other words, he can only change back and forth five times in a short period of time. As for half-animal transformations, which are mainly humans, the consumption of superpowers is much less. Very unexpectedly, after more experiments, Yang Xiao also came to the result that only humans can transform into half-animals, but they have lost the ability to transform into other creatures.
In other words, he can grow fangs, teeth, and even wings and gills in a human body, but he cannot turn into a tiger with wings.
When the mysterious power derived from the monster organization is reduced, it will only recover slowly, and the recovery rate is relatively constant. It can return to full status in two hours. However, it will also make him feel a strong sense of hunger.
In any case, Yang Xiao still discovered a good phenomenon. As long as he is full of food and drink, the monster tissue in his body shows no signs of going berserk and is very quiet. No obvious symptoms of mutation have been found yet.
As long as you keep it well fed, it's safe.
After nightfall, he found several prey in the jungle easily.
A wild boar, two pheasants and a python.
In the process of swallowing, Yang Xiao found that he seemed to be more interested in the flesh and blood of pheasants and pythons.
When swallowing, the body is obviously more excited, and the recovery speed of the warmth all over the body has increased a lot.
Although the wild boar provides more flesh and blood, it can also relieve his hunger and provide him with a sense of satiety, but the recovery of the warmth is not very obvious.
Come to the conclusion that monsters prefer to devour new species, or in other words, plunder the genes of new species?
The bright moon was in the sky, and there was no sleepiness. Yang Xiao, who maintained the transformation into a black panther, seemed to have inherited some of the habits of nocturnal animals.
Simply continue to kill more wild animals.
As more prey was devoured by him, he continued to become familiar with his fusion abilities.
As he dug deeper, he felt more and more that this super-powerful growth ability was extremely terrifying.
In fact, he does not need to devour all the prey. He only needs to lick a drop of the prey's blood, and after waiting for more than half an hour, he can turn into the appearance of the prey!
The monster organization seems to be able to easily unlock the plundered genes, then copy and use them perfectly!
At the same time, Yang Xiao also discovered that the monster organization seemed to have modified his digestive system.
His current digestion speed is astonishing and has reached the monster level. This method of energy conversion is completely non-human.
He can keep eating as long as he wants! Like the legendary glutton, it greedily devoured everything and seemed never to be satisfied.
Keep trying and keep finding your own limits.
Yang Xiao did not stop. It was not until he swallowed nearly a hundred prey that he suddenly felt that his body seemed to have reached a limit and his digestion capacity suddenly decreased.
Next to a deep pool in a mountain stream, under the cold moonlight, a giant black panther with a length of seven meters was exuding rich blood energy.
As his body squirmed, the Black Panther gradually transformed into a terrifying giant nearly five meters tall within half a minute.
With muscles all over his body and broad joints, and waist-length hair hanging casually behind his back, the man, who was as strong as a cartoon character, couldn't help but froze for a moment while looking at himself on the water.
The giant in front of him still looks like Zhuang Yan. However, it is a super enlarged version. Zhuang Yan was originally over 1.8 meters tall, but now he was just a kid in front of Yang Xiao.
With his hand, which was bigger than a cattail leaf fan, he randomly picked up a piece of hard mountain rock half a meter in diameter. With a gentle squeeze, the stone shattered like tofu.
Yang Xiao pinched his hands, and the crushed stone turned into powder and slipped from his fingertips.
Glancing at the large footprints approaching seventy yards on the rock, he could no longer assess how much his strength had soared.
The massive flesh and blood of nearly a hundred birds and beasts turned into majestic Qi and blood, which accumulated in Yang Xiao's body, turning him into the terrifying appearance he is today.
He could still feel that the energy and blood were being digested by the monster's tissues, but the efficiency dropped by dozens of times.
Now, I’m embarrassed and full!
The supernatural powers in his body have been basically exhausted. For the time being, he can only maintain his status as a giant.
With such a huge size, it is still troublesome to hide it in the mountains and forests. That night, he noticed drones flying overhead at least three times.
These drones carry advanced infrared radars, so they can be easily discovered if you are not careful.
In desperation, Yang Xiao found this deep pool in a hidden mountain stream.
As soon as he jumped down, there were two pairs of mutated fish gills on his neck, and he sank to the bottom of the water.
The next day, twelve hunter teams had already searched the cave where Yang Xiao had stayed for several miles, but still found nothing and could only report the situation to the organization again.
However, due to previous gains, it was once again confirmed that the mission target did appear in this area, and each action team has received new orders.
The military is about to intervene. In addition to investing in a full reconnaissance battalion, they will also receive support from three military satellites at the same time!
The danger level was changed to level B, and the bonus was increased from 600,000 to 4 million.
Chen Feng licked his chapped lips and clarified the new mission objectives to the team members again.
Ten years ago, in order to further improve the emergency response capabilities, the National Disaster Emergency Management Bureau, drawing on the latest foreign mercenary system, established the Hunter Organization, referred to as lz, with the support of high-level officials. Its headquarters was set up in J City to help the government solve some problems. Troublesome business.
After ten years of development, the total number of hunters in the organization has reached nearly 10,000 people.
Among them, the number of combatants excluding logistical support is close to a thousand.
Among the personnel recruited by this special department, in addition to outstanding retired personnel from the military and armed police, there are also a large number of outstanding talents recruited by the headquarters from the society every year, leaders from all walks of life.
Within hunters, a task promotion reward system is implemented.
Ordinary hunters will earn points by completing tasks, and there are four DCBA levels from low to high.
After joining a hunter organization and becoming a hunter, in addition to fixed study and training every year, you must also complete fixed tasks arranged by certain headquarters.
Tasks are also divided into four levels of DCBA.
Most of the time, working time as a combatant is very free.
In order to keep them active at all times, the hunter headquarters also has a bounty task list that can be selected according to their level.
Regardless of fixed tasks or bounty tasks, you will receive points and generous bonuses after completing them.
This search mission is a fixed mission directly arranged by the headquarters.
However, the mission level has now been raised from the initial C-level mission to B-level. It seems that their mission goal is indeed not simple and extremely threatening.
You know, the last time on the border, there was a fierce battle with nearly two hundred armed men of the big drug lord of country L, and the final mission of beheading him was only a C-level mission.
"Be smart. The points and bonuses from previous missions have been received. We still have about two hours before the military reconnaissance battalion intervenes. According to the original plan, we will move along Route 3."
