Chapter 1199 - 1196: Mermaid

"Hmm..... don't underestimate the thorn insects because of their size. They're actually quite a hassle for Blue Star."

Shasha furrowed her brow for a moment, unable to recall the encounter with Thorn Insect Star, then spoke:

"When our clan navigates, sometimes we encounter life-sustaining planets, and we release the thorn insects as [Fearless Explorers] for reconnaissance."

"The trait of the Eco-Piercing Insects is their immortality and their poisonous stinger that disregards spatial distance. They've inherited quite a portion of perfect adaptability, being able to divide into countless consciousness-sharing entities as long as one cell remains...."

Shasha reminded Master Fuli.

Planets corroded by [Perfect] will eventually collapse into a state of unity in flesh and blood.

However, during the hundreds of years of this collapse, all life forms on the planet will experience a whirlwind of evolution and carnal enjoyment, evolving to a civilization height their species couldn't naturally achieve.

Their pinnacle day is the time for the perfect return and convergence of all things.

Although the traits of the Eco-Piercing Insects are few, their immortality and tail stinger hunting prowess are enough to dominate a region.

Over a distance of millions of miles, a single stinger can severely wound Primordial Life, inevitably leading to death below the primordial level.

If united with Perfect, the mimicry thorn insect's tail stinger becomes a walking ecological destroyer, landing on a planet to unleash flesh-and-blood contamination, capable of destroying a surface civilization's core instantly, unleashing a whirlwind of evolution.

After explaining the thorn insects in detail, Shasha suddenly shifted the conversation:

"But..."

"The thorn insect's traits, albeit extremely disgusting, are quite a delightful plugin for us as [Perfect]. By extracting its trait genes, we can directly launch attacks from higher dimensions to lower dimensions."

"Disregarding space barriers, one punch can strike from the Milky Way Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy. Though, Master Fuli, the prerequisite is making one more step, devouring several planets to convert into an energy source, or unfolding a storage form..."

After speaking, Shasha looked eagerly at Master Fuli and added:

"Well... Master Fuli, you know me. Sometimes, life from exotic stars just doesn't get along."

"Alright, I didn't say those things..." Ansheng interrupted Shasha with a peculiar expression on his face.

As for the [Perfect] interstellar navigation history, Shasha had mentioned it before.

The farther they navigate the starry sky, the more they encounter experiences that overturn the [Perfect Race]'s values, forcing them, who have refined billions of genes into a nebula of flesh and blood, to develop a mental disorder called [Gene Cleanliness].

Mental disorders, regarded as untreatable among terminal illnesses and taboo among taboos during the First Epoch civilization.

This indirectly led to the Perfect transforming into a hundred-ton king of the starry sky during the early-mid phase, crushing any sign of life in their path.

Pursuing a single-mindedness.

However, Ansheng didn't mind this much, knowing that without the Perfect becoming a crucial element in cosmic navigation, Blue Star wouldn't have tranquility and stability at present.

Decades ago, people from different villages could exchange mortar fire over water sources and disputes.

Life from different planets, upon encountering each other, naturally would have the bravest emerge victorious.

"In three days, the thorn insects will enter the atmosphere, and then you can act as a strategist to earn credit."

Ansheng exuded a pondering expression, looking at Shasha and voiced his thoughts.

The sudden arrival of the Eco-Piercing Insects.....

Aside from potential threat factors, Ansheng also felt a strange sensation arising.

[The "landlord" might just be helping me.]

The Immortal is well versed in the art of will, playing it to the extreme, Sun Xingyao once explained the principle of escape to Master Fuli Witch King in class.

At the moment of self-detonation, it transformed itself into a "slingshot," atomizing its consciousness and flesh, ejecting it across the ocean.

As the "slingshot" formed, the Witch King had actually detached from Blue Star Space, becoming untraceable.

Leaving behind only a seemingly tangible shell.

The thorn insect's true strength lies in its will to lock onto and hunt targets, akin to the Witch King's characteristics, both involving space and dimensional traits.

Acquiring the thorn insect's genes enables Ansheng to refine genetic material at a workstation, crafting a plugin to gain a scope and tracking compass.

With this possibility in mind, Ansheng felt as though the "landlord" might be lending a helping hand.

"That's just wonderful..."

Shasha exclaimed with joy, saying, "I'll help you analyze it now, guaranteeing to strip that thorn insect to bare bones for Master Fuli....."

"Hmm, the normal thorn insect's color is mimicry, covered with countless eyes. I suspect the Eco-Piercing Insect you captured belongs to a genetic mutation, a gleaming elf!"

Hearing this, Ansheng was taken aback, feeling exasperated as he turned to Shasha, who was enthusiastic because of the potential reward, and retorted:

"So, is there a possibility that the space video we see is actually synthesized?"

"The sky-watching telescope detected anomalies, recording related light and colors, creating a video using algorithms."

"Ah so it's deceiving sharks too?" Shasha exclaimed in disbelief: "That... people are just wicked."

"I thought I discovered a mutant that could help Master Fuli extract special genes."

Feeling disappointed, Shasha thought she could earn a bonus of two hundred liters of Spirit Particle Potion, but now, she's estimating it to be just a hundred.

"I asked Shasha, that strange creature is a cursed creation of the First Epoch...."

Ansheng compiled the information into a video format, sent it to Zhang Lin, and prepared to leave the office and return to Ah Qing's live stream to watch the fun.

The netizens were filled with unpredictable comments on the public screen barrage, making Ansheng particularly fond of their humorous remarks, albeit often talking about suggestive images but never posting them.

Just.

As Ansheng opened the door, Chen Zhiyu was blocking him right in front of the office.

"Hmm?"

Ansheng looked puzzled at Chen Zhiyu, who was firmly blocking the door, asking, "What are you doing here? There's nothing to shield you from the wind..."

From January to early February, Xia Dong was at its coldest. The area near rivers was filled with cold gusts.

In front of the office, there was only an outdoor long table and a few rattan chairs facing the river, caught in crosswinds.

Ansheng had been inside for over half an hour, and Chen Zhiyu seemed to have sat there for quite some time.

"I was just curious..."

Chen Zhiyu put her phone back in her pocket, squatting down to look at Master Fuli with curiosity:

"I heard from Lin Ying and Jin Wanlin about the [Woodcutter Spiritualization]..."

"I previously got the potion from Lin Ying and tried injecting several shots into my thighs. Although there wasn't fox transformation, some white fuzz with fragrance did grow on my skin."

Chen Zhiyu explained the reason for guarding the entrance to Master Fuli.

"Back then, I was proficient in Dog Language, but now, foreign dog languages seem to be failing, while the meaning of fish sounds grows clearer in my ears..."

"So, I'm kind of curious if I could Fish Transform in this form?"

With a face full of curiosity, Chen Zhiyu looked toward Ansheng, eager to explore the transformation of the spiritual particles within.

"If I could Fish Transform, then I could properly deal with those pesky fish."

"Uh.... I haven't really tried it, shall we try it inside?"

Hearing this, Ansheng was also taken aback. Recently, either he had been busy or Chen Zhiyu with work.

They truly hadn't spent extended time together, and the depletion of Fox Spirit Particles within Chen Zhiyu seemed natural.

Now.

In Chen Zhiyu's body, the Fox Spirit Particles were waning, with fish particles dominating.....

Ansheng was also a little intrigued if, indeed under him, a [Fox Lady Mermaid] might emerge?
