Chapter 400 Evolution
"I see."

The divine evil infected body controlled Jose's head and spoke, the intervals between words becoming shorter and shorter, and more and more fluent.

"I answered your question, you have to answer mine too."

Seeing that the other party did not show strong hostility for a while, Li Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are not a player?"

"Player is what you humans call it. A more accurate name should be Chosen One."

Jose's eyes rolled back as he said unconsciously, "I am not the Chosen One. This identity is both an opportunity and an eternal prison."

"understood."

Li Sheng nodded. Indeed, those old players who had been in the internal beta of [Side of Truth] were able to advance from ordinary mortals to possess god-like powers in less than five years, and were able to open up a half-plane to play as gods.
Its speed of progress cannot be said to be riding a rocket, it is simply like riding a superluminal spacecraft.

Quite a bit,

The sense of sight.

But at the same time, with so many players on the server, only a few like Side of Truth can reach the top, and the rest all become skeletons paving the way.

To take a step back, even if the player possesses boundless power, he still cannot escape the constraints of the killing field and is at risk of sudden death at any time.

The divinely infected body can absorb the genes of other creatures to strengthen itself and evolve infinitely, making it immortal. There is really no need for it to become a summoner who licks blood on the edge of a knife and whose average lifespan is shorter than that of a medicine girl.

"You are not the Chosen One, which means that you usually live in the killing field entity."

Li Sheng asked, "Are there other people like you in the killing field?"

The infection effect of the insect lord is like a plague. Native organisms in the killing field are often infected and then captured by guilds like Prometheus.

However, most of the infected bodies have a low level of evolution, and those like the red beetle that possess high intelligence and powerful strength are rare.

"Have."

The evil infected body controlled Jose's head and said: "We will set traps, wait patiently, lure, locate, and track each other for a long time, find each other, and then devour each other."

"To strengthen yourself?"

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows. He still had a human appearance and did not use the Liangyi sword to cut his skin to switch to the insect form.

Even so, he could feel that every cell in his body was screaming at him to kill the infected body in front of him, eat its flesh, drink its blood, and plunder and devour the evolutionary fragments that had accumulated over a long period of time.

This is a primitive instinct rooted in genes, just as a monkey cannot resist the temptation of peaches.

“It’s more than just strengthening yourself.”

The divine evil infected body corrected: "There is only one insect master, and there must be one insect master."

"What do you mean?"

Li Sheng instantly realized that what the other party said was a secret that even the big guilds didn't know, and asked, "Is the original insect master dead?"

"Missing, at least within the known area of ​​the killing field. Missing for five years."

Jose's head said hoarsely: "Its disappearance has given us complete free will. And the opportunity to become insect masters, devour our own kind, and evolve infinitely until we become the only one."

This is a bit too much information.

Li Sheng activated the multi-line brain method, his mind racing, and asked rapidly, "The insect master is missing, giving you free will? Does that mean that as long as the insect master is here, all infected bodies are under its control?
Until it becomes the only one, that is to say, the position of the insect master is exclusive. There can only be one insect master in the killing field at the same time? " "The first question is correct. "

Jose's head opened and closed its mouth unconsciously, and added: "The second question is that it's not just that there can only be one insect master in the killing field, there can only be one insect master in all planes and all worlds at the same time."

"."

Li Sheng pursed his lips and pushed his glasses down on his nose with his index finger.

There must be, and can only be, one worm master at a time. It's a bit like "there must be a Lich King", which sounds reasonable.

Just like in the movie "Alien", the alien population that drifted to a remote planet would evolve into an alien queen on its own.
There are also many examples in nature. For example, in a group of clownfish, the dominant female fish takes the lead and leads the group to find food and avoid predators.

If the dominant female fish disappears, the male fish in the population will change sex to become the dominant female fish in order to fill the gap. The entire endocrine system and reproductive organs change together.

(So ​​in the cartoon "Finding Nemo", the father of the protagonist clownfish Nemo should also be his mother)

According to this theory, once the insect master disappears, all infected bodies will start a battle royale, devouring each other, and finally the winner will be determined and evolve into the only new insect master.

It instantly gains overwhelming advantage over all other infected bodies, and even control over them at the genetic level.

Li Sheng paused for a moment, "How many 'brothers and sisters' have you eaten before?"

Jose asked in his head, "Do you count how much bread you have eaten?"

"He doesn't eat much bread,"

Hui Yu, who was trying to piece together his body in the corner, raised his hand and said, "We all eat cakes, steamed buns, steamed bread, egg tarts, mousse, macarons, and tiramisu."

"That's quite filling,"

Jose's head and the infected body nodded at the same time, "David is wearing this full."

Li Sheng's eyes twitched, and he almost couldn't hold it together. When the infected body across from him extracted and called upon Jose's memories, he could still understand the meaning of those abstract concepts. It was outrageous.

"I have devoured countless low-level infected entities without intelligence."

Jose's head continued, "As for the advanced infected bodies with their own will and intelligence, the number they devoured is seventeen."

"."

Li Sheng remained silent. Each infected body would hunt creatures to strengthen its gene pool. The longer it lived, the richer its gene pool.

In order to maintain his human form, he rarely uses this ability.

Compared to other infected bodies that work hard to hunt every day, it can be called a lazy dog.

The one in front of him had eaten seventeen high-level infected bodies. No wonder his life force was stronger than that of the Frog God in the [Homecoming] mission.

The frog god is just a cosmic creature that has lived for thousands of years. How can it be compared with us, the evil infected body that eats elephants when it is one month old and blue whales when it is three months old?

Li Sheng asked: "The last question is, why are you willing to reveal so much information? Logically speaking, all of our kind are competitors on the road of evolution."

"It's been a long time since I met someone as special as you who also holds the status of a Chosen One, so I'd like to chat with you for a while."

The red beetle slowly bent its body, and a large number of chimney-like exhaust pipes extended from its back, spewing out boiling steam. "Eat me, or be eaten by me."
