Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 911 It's so cold, this damn world.
Why wasn't I crushed to death?

The wizard apprentice Nicano stopped crying.

Yes, the large pincers were clearly in place and closed just now.

Even if this silver-medal gladiator Steelheart had dealt a severe blow to the Sand Crab in time, I should have been crushed to death by its large pincers long ago.

Bai Pu smiled, raised the tip of his spear, and gently tapped the sand crab's large pincers.

"Mr. Nicano, come and take a look."

Nicano remained somewhat fearful and dared not approach. The sand crab had only been severely injured and was still alive; it wasn't truly dead.

However, with Bai Pu leading the way, Nicano followed cautiously and still managed to see the location Bai Pu had pointed out.

On the inner corner of the sand crab's large claws, on the left and right, are two deep slits. Through these slits, one can vaguely see reddish-white ruptured tendons.

"You...you severed its tendons, rendering its pincers powerless?"

Nicano was somewhat surprised. "When did you do that?"

Bai Pu said, "I did it on purpose while I was flipping it over and spinning it. After all, half of this big guy's skills are in his pincers. After blinding its eyes, I cut the tendons of its giant pincers, and then it was no longer a threat."

“In other words… I wasn’t supposed to die.” Nicano sighed.

"Yes, Mr. Nicano. I will do my best to protect you... provided that I feel your friendliness."

“My friendliness…you mean, let me teach you how to use the Magic Compass?” Nicano immediately realized.

"Yes."

"If I don't teach you... you won't protect me? You'll just let me get killed by monsters?"

Nicano finds it unbelievable; how can people be so dark?

Bai Pu smiled and countered, "Would you protect someone who isn't kind to you?"

"This is a breach of contract, and my teacher will not allow it!"

"I am his student of three years, a well-trained laborer, his property!" Nicano shouted in his heart.

Bai Pu spread his hands:
“Mr. Nicano, you need to figure out three things.”

"First of all, it's perfectly normal for exploration teams in the New World to have accidents. You were almost killed by a sand crab just now, weren't you?"
"Secondly, the employment contract you signed was between my boss and your teacher. What does it have to do with me? Am I, a gladiator, supposed to pay out of my own pocket to compensate my boss?"

"Third, even if your teacher comes after me, gives me a severe scolding, or even kills me... would you still be alive? By the way, I'm probably the boss's most profitable gladiator, so he won't let me get killed easily."

Looking at Bai Pu's sincere and polite face, Nicano trembled with anger.

It's so cold. This damn world is so cruel and heartless, without a shred of warmth!

“I will teach you, but you must know that so many calculation formulas involve a lot of magical theory, and they cannot be learned casually,” Nicano said.

Bai Pu also received a spirit world notification that "the wizard apprentice Nicano's favorability towards you has decreased, currently at the 'indifferent' level." He didn't care; having achieved his goal, he simply smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, I have enough confidence."

Nicano rummaged through his backpack, tossed Bai Pu a book on magic theory and a book on magic formulas, and said, "You said you have a foundation in magic, so memorize these two books first."

Bai Pu put away the two books and thanked him. Nicano snorted, ignored him, and turned to sit down and rest next to the supply box. "Lord Steelheart, you even managed to handle an elite-level wizard apprentice. Impressive, impressive."

Major General Bart stared at the enormous, dying sand crab, his mouth watering. "Why don't we start a fire and see what the roe of such a huge crab tastes like?"

"Wait a moment, I need to verify my guess."

Bai Pu flicked out a drop of pure blood, attempting to control the dying giant sand crab.

He wanted to test whether the Heart of Evolution talent would be equally effective in the Ascended Plane.

He simultaneously communicated his attempt to Major General Bart via telepathy.

Bart was skeptical: "Really? You can control natives and monsters? With such a powerful talent, why not choose the summoning class?"

Bai Pu was quite satisfied with Bart's reaction.

—This shows that Rein and Lia of the Furnace Edge team are satisfied.

As fellow Awakened beings from the same planet, Rein and Lydia did not reveal Bai Pu's true nature during their conversations with Bart.

The giant sand crab began to convulse under the stimulation of pure blood.

And then... control was successfully achieved.

Bai Pu smiled slightly. It seemed that the talent priority of the Heart of Evolution was indeed exceptionally high, allowing him to control native monsters even in the ascended plane. His plans would be much easier from now on.

This big guy doesn't need to retain any consciousness; he can just let his evolutionary instincts take over his mind and become a "mutant."

When the sand crab's body began to deform, Bai Pu quickly applied medicine to its wounds and arranged for an awakened member of Bart's team, who was skilled in treatment, to treat the sand crab and raise its blood level.

The more exhilarating it felt when the injection was administered, the more worried we are now during the emergency treatment.

Fortunately, the pureblood evolution was effective, and the sand crab's injuries were quickly repaired during the mutation process!

This refers to eye injuries, ruptured tendons in the giant pincers, and a ruptured intestine in the abdomen.

The cost was that the sand crab's body shrank by a full size during the mutation process—a manifestation of a significant depletion of the life energy stored within its body.

"It...it really worked?"

Major General Bart stared at Bai Pu with a look of utter disbelief, muttering to himself, "High combat power, and the talent to enslave his underlings... what kind of monster is this?"

The modern variant of the sand crab retains much of its thick shell and two signature large claws. However, its other arms have gained an extra layer of joints, allowing for more free and powerful stabbing movements!
The protruding eyes were now just for show; the real eyes were hidden in the gaps in the head shell, as black as beans, gleaming with a fierce light.

—Perhaps because his eyes had previously protruded and he had suffered from Bai Pu's eye-poking, he tried his best to overcome the weakness of his protruding eyes and easy vulnerability during the deformity process.

It used to look like a building, but now it's shrunk and looks like a round RV.

And you know what? This sand crab servant can really be used as a campervan. You put the cargo on its shell, and with a few quick movements of its eight legs, it roams around with unbridled agility and incredible speed.

The exploration team's mules and horses were freed; they no longer needed to haul goods but could now pull people—every bronze-medal gladiator earned a riding mule. The slave laborers no longer had to push carts, and their travel speed increased!

Under Bai Pu's "enthusiastic invitation," the wizard apprentice Nicano obediently sat on the sand crab's back.

In any case, sitting on the back of a sand crab, next to Bai Pu, is safer than in other places.
