I have a set of monster experience cards

This was the first time that You Huan used the skill [Traveling Backward], and he didn't expect that the first time he used it was to escape.

There was no way. Although he coveted the giant beast's rock armor, his strength was limited.

He was alone and had no choice but to run for his life in front of this hundred-meter-long beast.

After using the skill to calibrate the behemoth, apart from seeing an illusion for a moment, he couldn't feel anything for the time being.

Fortunately, the use of the skill caused the giant beast to pause, as if it was looking for something wrong with itself.

You Huan seized this opportunity and rushed forward another hundred meters.

Along the way, he listened carefully to the sounds and looked for terrain that was advantageous to him.

Unfortunately, this sea area seemed to be just a large plain, and he could never find a suitable place.

The giant beast kept chasing after them, and the speed advantage brought by its size was too great.

There is no other choice but to give it a try and believe in the effectiveness of the skills.

While the distance had not yet been completely narrowed, he tried to swim towards the sea surface.

Once in the air, he had the advantage.

There's no way this giant beast can fly, right?
However, as a hundred-meter-long beast, the Rock Armored Beast is experienced and has a sharp eye.

It seemed to have seen through You Huan's intention, and it suddenly burst out and rushed directly above You Huan!

A shadow fell, completely covering him and blocking his way upward.

At the same time, the giant beast's sharp claws whistled and plowed the ground.

You Huan had no choice but to roll sideways and barely avoided the attack by brushing against the sharp claws.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that a subtle change had occurred in his body...

The cells are stirring, as if they are about to form some new structures.

As the speed competition progressed, [swimming back upstream] began to take effect.

It seemed that in his genetic history, some relatives had evolved structures that allowed him to swim very fast, which he could use.

The transformation of [Traveling Backward] is not like ordinary evolution, which requires constant mutation and trial and error, but directly grows the correct structure required.

When the first "little jellyfish" appeared on one of his tentacles, the beast adjusted its state and attacked again with its ferocious mouth.

He burst into speed again, and this time You Huan found that because of the existence of this "little jellyfish flower", his body seemed to become lighter during the explosion.

With a thought, he turned to avoid the giant beast that was following him like a shadow. The second flower grew out, and his flexibility increased a little bit.

What kind of structure is this? Why does it look like a new individual has grown out of him?
He was able to control them, but the form in which they were attached to his tentacles was a little odd.

Continuing to swim forward, the giant beast behind him let out a low growl of dissatisfaction because of its repeated failures.

It swung its body vigorously and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.

As it kept chasing him, You Huan no longer considered surfacing and just swam forward.

Swim, keep swimming, the skills are working, his speed is increasing little by little!
Under the high pressure of approaching death, the genes in his body seemed to have awakened from a big dream and became extremely active.

Somewhere in the dark, in the sea of ​​genes that connected many Cangyuan dragons, more and more gene fragments surfaced and bloomed one after another in his gene chain.

Among the floating tentacles, some began to stretch and widen, and more and more "jellyfish flowers" grew on them.

They are shaped like jellyfish without the tentacles, with growth on the tentacles much like leaves growing around a stem.

They all have water jet power systems, and their muscles seem to be exceptionally developed, and every movement can generate tremendous thrust.

By adjusting the direction and strength of the thrust they generate, ultra-flexible turning, flipping and other movements can be easily achieved.

With their help, You Huan's swimming speed increased steadily.

This is not enough.

The giant beast also realized the change in its prey, and its fins began to swing to increase thrust, and relying on the difference in size and muscle mass, it began to close the distance little by little.

He needs more variety!
New structures began to grow on those changing tentacles.

At the same time, he felt that his original floating structure began to shift.

The air sacs shrink from the main body and bloom on the tentacles, forming an appendage-like jellyfish shape.

The original "jellyfish flowers" that were propelled by water also changed further, gradually developing structures with energy-emitting capabilities like wing tentacles.

Although each structure is tiny, when combined together, they unleash a propulsion force that cannot be underestimated.

"Whoosh——" In almost the blink of an eye, You Huan's speed doubled!
A series of afterimages were left in the sea. Under the gaze of the giant beast, he rushed forward rapidly and opened up a long distance!
"Buzz!"

The giant beast's angry roar turned into ripples, spreading out in circles behind it.

However, You Huan had gradually disappeared from its sight.

The sound faded away temporarily, and You Huan also heard the unusual sound of waves coming from the front.

"Wow!"

A wave suddenly hit us, and a rock wall suddenly appeared in front of us.

In the past, even if he could burst out at such a high speed, he would not be able to react when faced with obstacles.

But now, those specialized tentacles did not even require his subjective command, they changed direction at precise angles and pushed him upwards violently.

Crossing the rock wall was like climbing up a staircase, and the scene ahead suddenly looked a little different.

The sea water is shallower and clearer, and the sunlight shines down, making me feel warm.

——He crossed the middle layer and reached the shallow sea area of ​​the Universal Ocean.

"Om-!"

As he was observing the water, he heard another low roar.

The rock-armored beast had not given up chasing him.

Although it is a shallow area, the sea water here is still two to three hundred meters deep, which is enough for the giant beast to move forward.

Coming to his senses, he continued to swim forward.

During this process, he gradually heard some movement ahead...

It was a calling, it was...

That was Xiao Pu’s mental fluctuation!
Xiao Pu actually drifted to the shallow area and settled down.

You Huan then swam in that direction.

The movements of the giant beast were gradually drowned out by the sound of water. It was probably not familiar with the shallow area, and might not even be used to it, so it was finally left far behind.

So he slowed down a little and decided to see what changes [traveling back in time] had brought to him.

The first is the 15 evolution points brought by [Secret of Evolution·Change].

Level progress reached: [Lv.7 (109/640)]

Then there are the physical changes.

Except for a pair of wing tentacles that serve as the main thrust in the underwater air, other action structures on the torso have been greatly reduced, making the body more slender.

This part of the structure was transferred to the newly emerged tentacle structure.

In addition to the three types of tentacles, which are the thickest and most flexible feathery tentacles used as limbs, the wide tentacles that provide physical power by pushing air or water splashes, and the slender forked tentacles used for entanglement, injection of poison and hunting, there is a new type of tentacle.

There are five symmetrical tentacles on each side, and each one is composed of a large number of small "jellyfish flowers". Most of these individuals have well-developed muscles and can generate propulsion.

In addition, there are some individuals that produce floating gases.

Upon closer inspection, some of them have even grown into a structure with a thin film on the outside and spirally arranged teeth on the inside - they are actually some eating individuals.

The main reason for the formation of this tentacle is the speed competition marked by [upstream swimming], so its main function is to accelerate and enhance reaction and flexibility at high speed.

In terms of propulsion alone, the wing tentacles have the strongest thrust and explosive power.

But these tentacles are very useful in assisting, and when combined, they are enough to increase his top speed to about twice its original speed.

However, perhaps due to the special nature of this gene, it has also extended a variety of functions beyond acceleration.

The amazing thing is that he doesn't seem to need to use subjective thoughts to control these tentacles. These tentacles can autonomously sense the external environment and make the best response.

That's why he felt a little weird... these tentacles didn't seem like "himself" but more like some kind of subsidiary life form of his.

But on the other hand, the tentacles are connected to his life and are part of him.

It appears that the gene came from a creature similar to a siphonophore.

Siphonophores and ordinary jellyfish are both cnidarians, but each individual is a "superorganism" composed of a large number of "individuals". Each individual is highly specialized and responsible for different functions such as swimming, eating, and reproduction.

They are both one and a group.

Indeed, this highly specialized, cooperative gene is very suitable for coping with the high-pressure environment just mentioned. (End of this chapter)
