Chapter 35 Energy Crystal Core
The giant mutant grub swam under the tree and coiled beside it.
This place must be the territory of this grub. As for the other grubs, most of them come here to absorb energy while this giant grub is out looking for food. Now that their master has returned, they will naturally leave.
These grubs have mutated to huge sizes. Although they are insects, their outer skin has evolved into a hard shell.
In human form, they seemed too weak in front of the mutant grubs.
Before, she was worried about how to pick the fruits from the silver tree, but now she has a solution.
"Can you climb a tree?" Chu Ange looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen: "Yeah."
Chu Ange: "I will use my mental power to control the worm, you go pick the fruit."
Long Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about these bugs at all, but he quite enjoyed the fact that his wife was worried about him and wanted to work with him.
"Okay." Long Chen said.
Chu Ange's mental power carefully approached the giant grub and began to try to control it with mental power.
Judging from the many martial arts novels she had read, the fact that there was a spiritual tree growing in such a remote place and bearing three rare spiritual fruits must have been guarded by a huge creature.
Although this behemoth doesn't look very smart.
She'd better be careful, just in case.
But this grub, which should be a strong one to Chu Ange, was actually easily controlled by her.
As soon as her mental strength passed, she easily controlled it.
All I can say is that although this grub has a large body, its brain capacity is too small and its IQ is too low...
"Just mutate the body and forget about the brain." Chu Ange got this comment.
Long Chen climbed up the tree. He first checked the condition of the fruit to see if it was edible. After this check, he smiled with satisfaction.
This golden fruit is somewhat similar to the dragon blood fruit, but is milder and has more energy than the dragon blood fruit.
After the young wife eats this fruit, she will probably enter the estrus period soon.
He reached out his hand with great anticipation and picked them all, believing that a happy life as a married couple was beckoning him. But something went wrong - after he picked the fruits, he found that the tree's energy began to dissipate and it was about to wither.
He didn't expect something like this to happen. He was shocked and jumped down from the tree without thinking. If he didn't jump down, the tree would disintegrate and disappear.
Perhaps sensing the tree's energy dissipating, the controlled grubs became restless.
Chu Ange had no choice but to increase his mental strength to control it, hoping that Long Chen would come and leave here quickly.
At this moment, a black spot appeared in the calm lake, and the black spot was getting bigger and bigger. Something was wrong - something was coming out of it.
"Long Chen, be careful." Chu Angge shouted, but before he finished his words, a giant devil frog suddenly emerged from the lake?
The mutated devil frog... When Long Chen jumped down, it instantly stuck out its tongue and rolled Long Chen into its mouth.
"Long Chen!" Chu Ange shouted, wanting to rush over and use his mental power to control the mutant devil frog and make it spit out Long Chen.
But in doing so, she would no longer be able to take care of the grub that she was controlling.
The grub broke free of her control almost instantly and pounced towards her.
Chu Ange can kill many modern small grubs with one kick, but a grub this big... The carapace on its back is like a sharp blade, and its mouth looks sharp too, like a giant black pincer, which can cut her into pieces in minutes.
The Silver Tree has dissipated and only an old stump remains.
As a kind of insect, the white grub has a very low IQ, but that doesn't mean it has no brains. In this situation, no matter how stupid it is, it hates Chu Ange.
Seeing that she was about to be knocked down by the grub, she had to give up using her mental power to control the mutant devil frog and ran away.
Her human form was too weak and she couldn't outrun the fifteen-meter-long grub.
Chu Ange used all his strength to run away, and while running he shouted to the mutant devil frog: "Long Chen!"
She didn't believe that Long Chen would die like this.
She couldn't escape from even one grub, and the grubs that had scattered away when the original owner came back were now turning back from all directions.
Chu Ange was preparing to use his mental strength to control the giant grub: "..."
Dense swarms of grubs pressed towards her from all directions like a mountain.
In modern times, in her eyes, a grub is just a small bug that can be crushed to death with two fingers. Now, in the eyes of these mutated grubs, she is no different from a small bug.
The giant grub caught up with her, opened its giant pincer-like mouth, and prepared to bite her in half.
A loud noise erupted in the lake, and a hole appeared in the chest of the mutant devil frog. Long Chen flew out from it, holding something similar to a golden elixir in his hand - that was the energy crystal core of the devil frog.
When he first entered here, he knew that there was a mutated devil frog at the bottom of the lake that absorbed the energy of this tree. As long as it didn't stick its head out to provoke him, he would pretend not to see it and let it go.
He had promised Shi Yuan not to change into an animal form in front of Chu Ange. No matter whether it was a disguised snake form or his real dragon form, he didn't want to scare her.
Chu Ange doesn’t have a beast form, and he doesn’t require her to be very strong. As long as she lives happily, that’s enough - he will take care of everything.
But now…
After entering here, I found that some rare treasures can actually make small insects mutate into monsters more than ten meters long. Like this mutated devil frog, it can even condense an energy crystal core.
What if other aggressive and lethal animals absorbed this energy?
Long Chen didn’t want Chu Ange to get hurt, or even... die, because of this.
So, when Chu Ange proposed using mental power to control the grubs, he agreed.
Although he gave her mental power, she has yet to use it to control or attack in actual combat.
It's a good opportunity for her to practice how to use her mental power to protect herself.
As a result, as soon as he came out, he saw his young wife being besieged. His black pupils instantly turned into golden vertical pupils. Long Chen flew over and picked up Chu Ange. With his other hand, he grabbed the head of the giant grub and swung it around as a weapon. The grubs attacking from all directions were cut in half.
After a while, all the grubs were killed by Long Chen.
As if not satisfied, Long Chen punched the giant grub on the head, bursting it into pieces.
This was the first time Chu Ange witnessed Long Chen’s strength and was stunned.
Long Chen covered her eyes with his hands: "Are you scared?"
Chu Ange pushed his hand away and stared at him blankly: "So, you said you are strong, and you are really that strong."
Long Chen smiled.
Good, his little female is also very strong at heart.
