Her mouth slowly returned to normal, and Hera wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
This woman has terrible mental fortitude; she's nowhere near as good as Xinglan.
Hera kicked the woman's corpse aside, raised her massive bone whip, and thrust it towards the middle-aged man's heart.
"Big sister, spare me!"
A strange sound came from the middle-aged man's chest, and the bone whip stopped abruptly in front of his chest.
The middle-aged man's chest twitched slightly, and then a strangely shaped worm burst out of his body.
He stood trembling at chest level, staring at the bone whip so close to his chest.
Hera stepped forward, grabbed the insect in her hand, and held it up in front of her.
"Big sister, spare me! Big sister, spare me! I'm just a pitiful wretch. Although I don't know if you're a different species, I meant you no harm!"
The insect was very small, probably only the size of a fingernail, and the words it spoke didn't seem to come from its mouth; it seemed more like telepathy.
"What are you?" Hera asked expressionlessly.
“I am a mutant called the Phantom Worm. I was found by these humans two weeks ago and secretly inhabited their captain’s body.”
The [Vision Bug] hurriedly tried to explain, fearing that Hera might kill it if she got upset.
"What are your abilities?"
"I can parasitize others, induce hallucinations, and even read the memories of those I parasitize!"
"Oh." After hearing that, Hera lost interest and tossed it aside.
He picked up the middle-aged man's corpse and began to gnaw on it.
The [Vision Bug] spread its wings and flew in the air. Seeing that Hera had no intention of killing it, it turned around and tried to escape.
But suddenly, it was grabbed by the tentacles that Hercules stretched out.
"Ah! Sister, I meant no harm! I just wanted to leave!"
"You can't leave."
Hera, still gnawing on her meat, spoke coldly without turning her head.
After all, this thing's abilities are incredibly useful to Hera.
Hera believed she could learn anything except mental attacks.
Fortunately, this little bug has mental abilities and can read other people's memories, which perfectly makes up for Hera's weakness.
But to the [Vision Bug], these words were interpreted completely differently; it thought Hera intended to eat these people first and then eat itself.
"Ah! Please, sister, don't kill me! I don't taste good, eating me will give me diarrhea!"
As long as you don't eat me, I'm willing to be your slave!
"real?"
Hera suddenly stopped eating and turned to look at it.
The Illusion Bug was taken aback. To be honest, it didn't really want to be a slave to anyone. What it said just now was just something it accidentally said while begging for mercy.
But it was afraid Hera would kill it, so it had no choice but to nod.
"Yes, as long as you don't kill me, I can be your slave."
"good."
Hera nodded slightly and continued eating diligently.
But then she suddenly remembered something, broke off one of the middle-aged man's hands, threw it to the [Illusion Bug], and released the tentacles that were wrapped around it.
The [Vision Bug] stood on Hera's tentacles, looking at the bloody arm in front of it, unsure of where to begin.
Seeing that the other person wasn't eating, Hera ate the last piece of meat and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"Why don't you eat?"
The [Vision Bug] looked at Hera somewhat awkwardly.
"Um... I don't eat human flesh."
Hera tilted her head; it was the first time she had ever seen a different species that didn't eat human flesh.
"Then what will you eat?" Hera blinked her big eyes and asked the [Vision Bug].
"I usually parasitize the human body directly to absorb nutrients; as for the external flesh, I can only eat the brain, but..."
It looked around at the scene, at the few people whose heads had all disappeared, and rubbed its head with its thick, needle-like arms.
"Oh, then you can go hungry."
"..."
Ignoring the speechless expression on the [Vision Bug's] face (though bugs can't really make any expressions), Hera continued eating.
After eating all the corpses, Hera felt a little bloated, and her body unconsciously grew a few centimeters taller.
She's also become a little chubby, but of course, she's gained weight in the right places.
"Wow! Master, you're amazing! You can even transform."
As a different species, the [Vision Bug] naturally wouldn't feel embarrassed or blush because of Hera's figure; it was just surprised that she could change her form.
Hera didn't say anything, she just nodded.
"By the way, don't call me master anymore." After all, Xinglan had told her before that it was not good to have others call her master, except in certain situations.
The [phantom bug] was slightly taken aback.
"So what should I call you?"
Hera thought for a moment, and finally revealed her real name.
"Just call me Hera."
"Alright, Boss Hera." Then, [Vision Bug] seemed to remember something and tentatively asked,
"Well, Hera, may I ask what kind of mutant you are?"
Based on Hera's abilities so far, the [Phantom Worm] truly cannot guess what kind of alien species she is.
I won't tell you.
Hera refused without hesitation; after all, one should always be wary of others.
Seeing this, the [Illusion Bug] dared not ask any further questions, since it was its own fault for being unable to defeat the other party.
“From now on, I’ll call you…” Hera pondered for a moment, “Xiao Huan.”
"Oh? No, you can just call me [Illusion Bug]."
"This doesn't sound like a name."
"Hmm... okay." It's my own fault for not being able to beat them.
Hera took off her clothes and put on the women's clothes, out of habit, as she always felt it wasn't appropriate to wear men's clothes.
After getting dressed, Hera began rummaging through the Star Burger shop, while also having Xiao Huan follow along to see if there was anything useful.
Although Xiao Huan didn't understand, she still did as she was told, since she couldn't beat the other person.
Hera went into the locker room first, where the team had not only changed out of their clothes, but also their equipment.
Examine their weapons; although they all look strange, they are all just ordinary Tier 1 [Strange Weapons] with no special abilities.
Hera drew a short dagger, which was the woman's weapon.
He slowly put it into his mouth, and his intestines slowly moved the dagger into his abdomen.
While eating inorganic substances like iron cannot provide Hera with any power, it can exist within her body and be used as a weapon.
Hera had never tried it before because she hadn't thought about it that much.
But since I want to improve my strength now, doing these things is inevitable.
Touching her soft, white belly, Hera could feel the dagger digesting very slowly.
But it's very slow, extremely slow.
It will probably take half a day to fully digest. After all, it is a "foreign artifact," so it's normal for it to be a bit sturdy.
Hera packed up all the other people's weapons and planned to find temporary accommodation and eat them slowly later.
As she prepared to leave, Hera glanced back at the group's wardrobes.
After thinking about it, just to be on the safe side, I decided to check again to see if I had missed anything.
