Chapter 66

While taking a break in the rainforest, I witnessed a strange change.

The black crystals on the side of the mutated mother beast were absorbed bit by bit, and the scales on the mother beast's back also began to change and renew, gradually becoming extremely hard. A closer look revealed that they were similar to the insect monsters that had been encountered before.

Mutant energy, black crystal, mutant beasts, insect monsters.

Now that all aspects are connected, Yu Xie feels that although he seems to know more and more, he still has no grasp of the truth of the matter.

In the matter of the rainforest mutation, Jiang Zhiming's suspicion was too great, so great that he was suspicious at first sight. But the more this happened, the more he felt that the other party was just a smokescreen, a chess piece destined to be abandoned.

The scales on the mutant beast's back creaked as it crouched and stared at Yu Xie, its dark red eyes flashing with greed and malice.

The giant beast has now completely absorbed the black crystal. Its mind is becoming clearer and it is even gradually developing wisdom that a mutant beast shouldn't have.

It was extremely puzzled as to why the food in front of it was not afraid or running away, and even...what was that look?

Yu Xie tilted his head and stared at the giant beast, thinking how ugly it was...

Small head, big fangs, bulky body... no hair at all, not cute at all... well, like an ugly dinosaur.

Mutant Beast: …………

In short... you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Before the joint military exercise officially begins, the head of the Federation will be present in person, and not only that, but representatives of officials from all empires will also be present. Perhaps at that time, he will be able to see a glimmer of truth in the fog.

As for now...

Yuxie looked with disdain at the giant beast in front of him that was leaping towards him.

As a beast, you can't be the boss in front of me!

Woo——!

A clear and sharp animal cry suddenly rang out. Yu Xie squinted his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, and made this clear cry that he had not made for a long time.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, neither near nor far, following like a shadow and being unavoidable. It seemed to be able to summon up all nightmares and fears, making the giant beast feel genuinely submissive and timid.

The mutant monster, which originally had a ferocious look in its eyes, shrank back on the spot, and lay trembling on the ground. It didn't even dare to raise its head to look, and it wished it could stick its claws and head into the ground at the same time.

Step—step—.

A beast claw covered with coarse hair walked over and gently pressed on the giant beast's back, immediately leaving three bleeding wounds on the opponent's proud sharp scales.

The mutated monster howled sadly.

Yu Xie, who had transformed into a mini Taotie, was clicking his tongue in his heart, and a hint of contempt flashed across his dark golden beast eyes.

He thought to himself, you see, this quickly-formed beast has a brittle skin and breaks at the slightest touch, really...tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Yuxu sighed, stepped on the neck of the mutant beast and asked, "Where did the black crystal come from?"

Giant Mutant Beast: Aaaaaaaaaa——!

Rest: …………

I don't understand.

Helpless, Yuzu could only change his interrogation method: "Do you understand what I'm saying? If you do, nod your head."

The mutant beast nodded frantically.

Rest: Very good.

He glanced at the lush trees around him and the small mutants hiding in the gaps between the trees and shivering. Then he kicked the giant beast in the side and asked, "Is your mutation caused by that black crystal?"

The beast felt the pressure on its side and nodded quickly.

"This black crystal can allow you to evolve and reproduce?"

Evolution and reproduction?

The giant beast took a while to react, and then after Yu's repeated explanations, it finally understood and nodded.

In the end, Yuxie asked more than twenty questions before he came up with some ideas.

Nearly a month ago, on the day they first arrived at the training planet, nearly ten Zerg placed these black crystals in the rain forest.

This batch of crystals were large and small. Some were thrown into the river, some were buried underground, and some were too small to be thrown directly into the mutant bird's nest. The mutant beast, perhaps because it was too huge, directly obtained the largest black crystal.

After leaving these crystals behind, the Zerg left, and an evolutionary conspiracy against the rainforest mutants also kicked off.

The evolutionary results brought about by the black crystal were so astonishing that the mutant giant beast's stillborn cub regained its heartbeat.

Reproduction is the nature of animals. In order to successfully give birth to cubs, it snatched the crystals from other mutant beasts in the rainforest. Finally, it successfully gave birth to three mutant cubs this morning.

The beast cub was crying for food, and it was also eager to replenish its energy, which was why it had the misfortune of having to rest...

Yu Xie's eyes lit up: "So, these black crystals are all in your lair?"

The mutant beast nodded helplessly.

Newly born cubs need energy, but hunting takes time. Nothing is more suitable than black crystal to nourish the bodies of cubs.

"Take me to your lair." Yuxie released his sharp claws from the beast's back and gave it a light kick: "Hurry up."

The first time he saw this mutated giant beast, Yu Xie was attracted by the black crystal on its body.

He inexplicably felt that this black crystal had an attraction to him. Although the crystal and the mutant energy came from the same source, it was very likely to be beneficial to his cultivation.

Ouch...

The mutant beast stood up in anger upon hearing this, and walked towards its own lair step by step, taking the fierce and terrifying strange beast with it...

training camp.

The protective cover closes slowly.

The entire camp was tightly covered.

Fu Qing drew his sword and walked into the rainforest step by step under the gaze of the female soldiers.

Watching Fu Qing's back disappearing into the rainforest, Winston thought to himself, you two are lucky. You always manage to escape danger. There shouldn't be any problem this time either.

Thinking of this, Winston turned around and smiled at Jiang Zhiming: "Supervisor Jiang, after careful consideration, I feel that the mutants in the rainforest are too dangerous. We don't know when they will emerge from the forest. We, the female soldiers, are careless. You are the son of the head of the federation. If something happens to you, we can't afford it."

Jiang Zhiming frowned: "Winston, you..."

"Corey!" Winston called his adjutant loudly and said sternly, "Take a few female soldiers with you to protect the Supervisor. You must ensure your safety. Don't let him out of your sight for even a second, otherwise I will hold you responsible."

"yes!"

The federal guard next to Jiang Zhiming's face changed drastically: "Major General Winston, what do you mean by this?"

Winston was surprised: "What do you mean? The situation is critical and life is more important than anything else. You, the Federal Guard, are just a few insects. I have sent out strong military officers to protect the Supervisor. What do you mean by questioning me? Is this the way the Federal Guard governs the army?"

Federal Guard: "You..."

"Forget it!" Jiang Zhiming raised his hand to stop the guard from talking, and said with a smile: "...It's okay, Winston, just do as you say."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding." Winston raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised at how smoothly it went.

…

As soon as he entered the rainforest, Fu Qing was stunned by the quiet atmosphere.

This is quite different from the atmosphere during the day...

Logically speaking, the rainforest in the middle of the night should be full of dangers. Especially now that the number of mutants in the rainforest has increased sharply, Fu Qing thought that he would be ambushed by mutants as soon as he entered the rainforest...

Unexpected.

A group of mutant birds perched on a tree looked up at the sound and saw that the other party was just a bug, which seemed harmless. The mutant birds couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to put their heads back into the nest.

Fu Qing continued to move forward.

The mutant python that had just finished molting should have been extremely hungry, but at this moment it was trembling and entangled on the tree trunk. It only poked its head out to glance at Fu Qing before retracting its head back into the leaves.

Along the way, Fu Qing went from holding the sword carefully to putting it away and striding forward.

There was no obstacle at all, which was truly miraculous.

In the middle of the rainforest, a huge mutant beast footprint appeared on the ground. Fu Qing stopped to check. If he guessed correctly, this should be the footprint of the mutant mother beast deep in the rainforest.

And this one next to it...

Fu Qing picked up a coarse and hard animal hair that was longer than his hair from among the unfamiliar footprints.

Fu Qing: A hairless beast.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Fu Qing smiled.

The female insect wrapped the beast's fur around her wrist. The jet-black fur made her wrist look even whiter. Fu Qing was anxious and walked forward following the giant beast's footprints.

…

Deep in the rainforest.

A dim light emanated from the huge, deep cave entrance. The original owner of the beast cave had long since left the cave with his family. Now, inside the cave, there was only a strange beast occupying the nest.

There were footprints of giant beasts of all sizes coming and going, some new and some old, and it took Fu Qing a lot of effort to find the cave where the giant beast lived.

Such dense and huge mutant beast footprints were placed at the entrance of the cave. Ordinary insects passing by would probably not even have time to hide, but Fu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

The air in the cave was filled with the most familiar scent of grass and trees. Just inhaling a little made him feel extremely at ease.

It's a break.

Fu Qing thought, there is no smell of blood.

...It's great that he's okay.

Pushing aside the weeds that were blocking the cave, he saw a ferocious beast lurking deep inside the den that Fu Qing had never seen before.

This ferocious beast has a huge golden horn on its head, which is faintly glowing, and a coat of thick, hard, and dense black-gray fur. The length of the fur is exactly the same as the one Fu Qing had just picked up.

At this time, the beast's pupils were slightly closed, and its eyelashes were long and thick, trembling slightly with the rhythm of its breathing.

Mighty, beautiful, handsome, domineering...

Fu Qing couldn't help but want to use all the beautiful words to describe the dark beast in front of him. He stretched out his slender white right hand and touched the beast's furry nose...

So warm.

Fu Qing rubbed it.

The dark golden pupils of the beast opened, reflecting the beautiful and graceful shadow of the female insect.

Fu Qing called softly: "Take a break?"

Hearing this, the other party licked Fu Qing's face and said in a deep and familiar voice with a hint of helplessness: "You dare to touch it when you are not sure?... Wait for me."

The beast that was absorbing the mutant energy didn't have time to say much and closed its eyes after it finished speaking.

Only then did Fu Qing feel truly relieved. He buried his face in the beast's neck fur, relaxed his mind in the other's warm thick fur and the scent of grass and trees, and fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until dawn that Yu rested and regained his human form.

The moment the beast transformed, the sleeping Fu Qing almost fell to the ground. Yu Xie quickly hugged her and pinched her cheek with a sullen smile: "You are sleeping so soundly? Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

Fu Qing was first startled by the sudden weightlessness, and then attracted by the other party's beastly eyes.

The dark golden beast's pupils sparkled in the cave. Fu Qing stared at it for a long while before saying, "So beautiful, just like last time."

After a short chuckle, he moved closer, stared at Fu Qing and asked, "Only your eyes are beautiful? Where are my ears? Can you touch my ears?"

ear?

Only then did Fu Qing realize that Yu Xie had two majestic black beast ears standing on his head. They looked as smooth as satin, leaving the knowledgeable Lieutenant General Fu speechless.

A trace of admiration flashed across his dark purple eyes, and Fu Qing reached out and touched it without hesitation, then couldn't let it go and pinched it. It was completely different from the animal ears bought from the zoo, softer and smoother... and warm.

Fu Qing pursed her lips. It was only then that she truly realized how adorable the beast ears were.

The female insect kept touching him, and her ears were itchy when she took a break. She buried her head in her neck and asked, "Do you want me to touch you?"

Fu Qing's eyes sparkled: "Yeah"

Yu Xiu laughed: "How about touching it for a while longer?"

Fu Qing pursed her lips: "Well... just for touching?"

Yu Xie's Adam's apple moved and his dark eyes became darker.

However, before he could say anything, Fu Qingchou came forward.

As the damp heat descended, Yu Xi's other ear flicked twice uncontrollably, and he thought: So this is what biting the ear means.

The male insect whose ear was bitten was unwilling to be left behind. He pinched the female insect's earlobe and whispered, "It was you who bit my ear, why are you so angry?"

Fu Qing bit her lip: "...if you take your hand away...my ears won't turn red..."

Yuxi hummed softly, pressed the female insect against the cave wall and kissed her passionately, saying as he kissed her: "Lieutenant General... you have such a cruel heart... you always ignore me when you feel comfortable..."

These words were meaningful, and Fu Qing's face turned red.

"Hiss..." Yu Xie licked his lips helplessly: "Bite me again..."

(Pinch the ears above the neck, thanks for the review)
