Chapter 433 Crystallization of Pure Energy

Pure energy crystals are special crystals produced by rare creatures called "energy devouring insects". After processing, it is used as a powerful high-grade energy source.

The body of the energy-phagating worm is extremely large. There is only one layer of mucous membrane on the body surface, without skin. This layer of mucous membrane can secrete a kind of highly corrosive acidic pus. Using this pus, the energy-phagating worm can easily penetrate the soil and rock formations. Dig a passage among them, and come and go freely in it.

The lairs of energy devouring insects are generally selected in places where there are radioactive mineral veins. The pus secreted from its body surface can not only corrode rock formations and soil, but also have a catalytic effect on radioactive ore, making the elements inside The rate of decay is greatly accelerated, thereby emitting a large amount of radiation.

In the lair of the energy-phagating worms, there are also a large number of creatures that are similar to the larvae of the energy-phagating worms, but these creatures are not larvae of the energy-phagous worms, but the "insect slaves" that the energy-phagous worms split directly from their bodies.

Although these "insect slaves" have a small amount of self-awareness, their extremely low intelligence destined these guys to be reduced to tools for refining pure energy crystals for energy-eating insect bodies.

The energy devouring insects will dig out the radioactive ores in the veins, and after simple catalysis, these ores will be handed over to the insect slaves for processing. The insect slaves will eat up these radioactive ores little by little, excrete the waste residue, and after purification The energy will form a new pure energy crystal in Zongnu's body.

As the worm slave eats more ore, the volume of pure energy crystals in its body will increase until the worm slave's life comes to an end.

Since it is just a low-level life form split from the energy-eating insect body, apart from the basic life support system, only the organs used to purify the ore are left in the body of the insect slave. The lifespan of a insect slave will not exceed ninety days at most. And within these 90 days, a bug slave can purify more than 100 tons of ore.

After the death of the old batch of insect slaves, the energy devouring insects will split into a new batch of insect slaves, and these new insect slaves will swallow the corpses of the old insect slaves together with the pure energy crystals in their bodies, and then continue to kill the old insect slaves. slave work.

Energy-eating insects collect pure energy crystals, not just as food, but also as a need for survival-although the mutant creature of energy-eating insects has a huge body, it is actually a completely metamorphosis creature, a "slug" The energy devouring worm in form is just the juvenile energy devouring worm, and only when enough pure energy crystals have been accumulated for a juvenile energy devouring worm, can it use the energy provided by these crystals to complete the transformation into adulthood.

Once the metamorphosis is complete, the adult Enerophager becomes one of the most dangerous creatures in the wasteland.

...

...

The information about pure energy crystals and this monster named "Energy Devourer" ends here. As for what an adult Energy Devourer looks like, it doesn't mention it at all.

Only then did Qi Lin realize that this energy-eating worm was actually just a larva, and those he mistook as "larvae" were actually just insect slaves separated from the energy-eating worm.

No wonder these insect slaves fought so fiercely after Qi Lin threw out the pure energy crystals—in their simple thinking, the appearance of pure energy crystals meant that the lifespan of the same kind had come to an end. Out of instinct, They will inevitably choose to devour it. If at this time, there is no body control of the energy devouring insects, the scene will instantly fall into chaos—all insect slaves want to devour this pure energy crystal that suddenly appeared, but the pure energy There is only one crystal.

At this time, driven by instinct, they chose the most simple and direct method: killing.

Although these insect slaves cannot absorb radiation energy for their own use, since they were once part of the body of energy-eating insects, the radiation energy has an unparalleled attraction to these insect slaves—they are like works of literature in the old era Like the kind of zombies that appeared in the movie, even though the digestive organs have lost their function, even though the swallowed meat will continue to accumulate in the stomach until the whole stomach is burst, their brains still have only one thought, that is to continue to eat. To seek fresh flesh and swallow it.

The same is true for the insect slaves, but the ore swallowed by them will eventually become this kind of thing called "pure energy crystallization".

Looking at the huge pile of pure energy crystals in front of him, Qi Lin suddenly realized that this might be the entire inventory of this Energy Devourer for so many years, and the value of the Energy Devourer itself might not be as valuable as this pile Crystallization of pure energy.

Qi Lin looked at the crystallization of pure energy in this place, and without thinking about it, he immediately took off all his clothes, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, with his upper body slightly leaning back, leaning against the pile of ore that Qi Lin had piled up by himself. Finally, he took a fist-sized pure energy crystal, crushed it, and let the liquid energy essence in it pour over his body.

Even when the energy-gathering vortex spun rapidly, the energy essence poured onto Qi Lin's body was instantly absorbed by his skin and gathered into the energy-gathering vortex...

With the experience of the first time, Qi Lin can be regarded as familiar with the second time - although the process is still painful, but in the face of the extreme desire for great strength, this pain is simply insignificant.

A fifth-level evolutionary, it's a matter of course...

When Qi Lin opened his eyes and exhaled that turbid breath, the blood scabs all over his body that looked like shells instantly turned into powder and flew out to the surroundings.

Qi Lin was not in a hurry to open his intellectual brain to check the panel after he was promoted to a fifth-level evolutionary, but thoughtfully raised his right hand, stretched forward, and spread his fingers.

All of this was done under the guidance of the subconscious. At the moment when Qi Lin's consciousness was connected to the energy-gathering vortex in his body, the speed of the energy-gathering vortex immediately doubled, and then, a mass of condensed violent energy It was spat out by the energy-gathering vortex, reaching Qi Lin's right arm, and sprayed out from his palm!

"boom!!"

With a loud noise, the entire underground cave trembled violently.

After the tremor was over, Qi Lin looked towards the place where he had just launched the berserk energy, and saw a huge cave with a radius of three meters and a depth of more than fifteen meters on the hard permafrost layer!

"hiss……"

Resetting his fractured and dislocated right arm due to the huge recoil, Qi Lin walked to the edge of the cave that he blasted out of.

I saw that the frozen soil on the edge of the cave had turned into scorched black and fragile ashes, and it immediately turned into powder with a light touch of a finger.

"Is this the legendary... humanoid self-propelled cannon?"

I've been really busy with work recently... Please forgive me for the short chapters... Also, today is the author's birthday, so what, please ask for some tickets, isn't it too much?
