[You sent a trading invitation to the player 'Gluten Brother'...]
It didn't take more than a few seconds.
Brother Gluten immediately accepted Chen Ye's invitation.
Soon, the message panel on the side popped up a message from the other party——
[Brother Gluten: “Damn it, it’s Mr. Chen Ye, how could you apply for a transaction... Hahaha, I almost thought I saw it wrong, it seems like it’s really you!”]
[Chen Ye: "Calm down, I'm here to ask about that insect."]
[Brother Gluten: "Is the boss interested in that bug? It's just right! No one paid attention to it after hanging up for a day. Basically no one would be interested in such a disgusting thing, and you can't get it to eat. If the boss wants to If so, you can send it for free."]
[Chen Ye: "Thank you, free is not a good idea. I'll pay a copper coin."]
Ding!
Transaction successful!
At this time, a beetle appeared in front of Chen Ye that was completely black and half a meter long. Its case had been burned to char and there were several signs of being ravaged on its body.
Its shape is like a hedgehog, and the tip of its mouth is like an electric drill, with good penetration ability.
It is said that when the player turned into the living dead, the beetle drilled a hole in the back of his head and crawled out.
The beetle has a very tenacious vitality. It was beaten by a group of boys and girls at a party by the river. Each one was kicked and kicked like a football for half an hour. After losing the ability to move, it was put on the grill and grilled for a day and night before it was completely destroyed. No life left.
"Monster sequence?"
Chen Ye kept his wandering pace, pacing back and forth, circling the beetle at 360 degrees, observing carefully.
Generally speaking, most of the creatures in the sea are related to the [Monster] sequence.
Creatures of this sequence have various extraordinary life structures. The top [monsters] can even give birth to the form of mythical dragons, with bodies comparable to gods.
But according to the information from the strange era, the sea is controlled by the descendants of Poseidon and is an area of order.
The shape of this beetle seems to be fused with the [Devil] sequence, exuding an unknown pollution aura.
View with the Eye of Luck...
Chen Ye also discovered that inside the beetle, there were small, ink-colored lines that were constantly squirming.
If you look closely, you will see that the ink lines are like maggots, twisting their bodies under the transparent film, and they are alive!
Now... we have fallen into unknown territory.
Generally speaking, the existence form of the devil is not used in the structure of life, but this turtle is obviously alive, but it feels like it is completely distorted.
Is it another new species brought by the new copy?
"Perhaps, I can use the properties of [Devil's Cuisine] to dissect this beetle..."
The characteristics of [Devil's Cuisine] gave Chen Ye a strong ability to recognize various ingredients, including all kinds of weird, contaminated, and never-before-seen ingredients.
The utilization value of the food material can be analyzed based on its morphological characteristics.
Although this beetle is a novel species that has never been seen before in the strange era, its life form is like a [monster], but it also has the characteristics of a [demon], revealing an unknown aura. Moreover, it suddenly came out from the back of the player's head after eating the barbecue...
Chen Ye needs to further understand the origin of this thing to make a judgment on the current environment in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River and the ink color and bloody light that surrounds the aura of luck.
boom!
The next second, his face suddenly exploded and turned into demonic vines, entangling the entire beetle.
The sharp black knife on the side teeth was like cutting tofu, directly cutting open the hard scales covering the beetle's back, exposing pieces of burnt meat inside.
The devil's vine continues to wrap around the entire beetle. While chewing, it uses its rich nerve senses to obtain information about this ingredient:
"The texture of the meat is good, it tastes like chicken, and the texture is as crisp as smoothie."
"But it should be noted that the blood of this creature is infected. Moreover, the nerve network connecting various muscle groups is a parasite. If eaten, this parasite cannot be eliminated [Glutton] Killed by ordinary digestive abilities outside the sequence, it will penetrate into the brain along with the blood vessels, thereby parasitizing the neural network of the new host, and even turning the host's nerves into similar parasites to achieve the purpose of control."
"But the way this parasite exists is very special. It's not a complete organism, it's more like..."
"Insect eggs!"
"Perhaps this beetle hatched completely from these eggs and absorbed the energy of the entire host body, thus giving birth to the King of Insects!"
Click! Click!
A creepy chewing sound came from Chen Ye's huge mouthparts.
There was constant black, sticky blood dripping onto the ground as the side teeth decomposed.
Bah! Bah!
In addition to the sound of black blood dripping, there were also black insects like lines falling on the black blood covering the ground, twitching, squirming, and dying.
However, the scales falling in mid-air happened to hit the squirming nematode, smashing it into a flat piece. It jumped a few times and stopped moving.
finally……
Chen Ye completed the complete decomposition of the beetle.
The demonic vines like tentacles slowly closed up and reorganized into a delicate face.
After picking out the inedible parts...
At this moment, what is before Chen Ye can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first part is the fat layer and muscle group under the scales of the beetle. When all the nerve eggs are picked out, the color of the meat appears milky white, but its surface is covered with multiple small round holes. , like puffed cheese.
The taste of these meats is very good, and it is more high-end than pine cones. Even at the normal supply and demand price, it can be sold for twenty or thirty copper coins per pound.
It can be treated as normal meat.
The second part is part of the cartilage, scales that are crispy after being grilled by charcoal and can be broken by teeth, and a mouth like an electric drill.
These parts are more difficult to eat. They need to be charcoal-grilled at high temperatures, beaten into a crispy shape, sprinkled with cumin and salt, and fried until crispy. The texture is similar to a charcoal-grilled chicken skeleton.
It's just that... the color is a bit darker, but considering that devil's cuisine requires a bit of "devil's color", it seems that this stuff can be sprinkled on the surface of the ingredients to perform some artistic "coloring" processing.
The third part is the beetle's brain. However, the meninges are in the shape of a large half-moon eyeball, which requires two adult hands to wrap around.
The texture of the big eyeball is a bit slippery, like fish belly, and the taste is fishy, but it is very fragrant and sweet.
If it is pickled and cut into slices, it will taste like eating preserved eggs.
at this time.
After completely decomposing it, Chen Ye had some idea of the origin of the beetle.
"This should be an ordinary sharp-beaked saber-toothed fish under the deep sea. There is a shadow of parasitism in it, but the life structure has changed. If it is ordinary parasitism, it will not have the effect of changing the original life structure... …”
"If I remember correctly, there is a copy of one of the biochemical types in Weird Era, and it is related to parasitism."
"Parasite is the nemesis of [monsters]. They can directly manipulate the nerves of living creatures and control them..."
"This eyeball-shaped brain is a distorted life form. It has no meninges, no center, and no nerves. There is only one eyeball left, which moves instinctively..."
"The owners of the barbecue stalls are probably also controlled by parasites, and specially made such dangerous food to expand the scope of infection!"
However, when Chen Ye killed the Dark Chef and the Gluttonous Giant, he did not see any similar bugs crawling out.
Now that I think about it, the way they behave is more like being parasitized.
Could it be that……
The way they are controlled by parasitism is more advanced?
