Chapter 21: Crawler

Lu Cang directly tossed the monster corpses he had hunted during this period into the 【Evolution Gene Analysis Sac】.

Pale yellow liquid enveloped these monster corpses.

【Analyzing — Long-Arm Giant Crocodile】

【Analyzing — Giant-Fist Jin Gang】

【Decomposing Gene Points】

【You have obtained Gene Points: 60】

"60?"

"Third-tier monsters only give that few Gene Points?"

Lu Cang stared at such a small amount of Gene Points, feeling a bit speechless.

The road from here to fifty thousand — how long was it still?

【Analysis Complete】

【Fitting Biological Traits】

【You have obtained new unit: Crawler】

【Crawler】

【Grade: Common】

【Can evolve itself by killing other creatures/devouring corpses】

【Production Tier: First-Tier (Evolvable)】

【First-Tier (Crawler) — Second-Tier (Elite) — Third-Tier (Hero)】

"25 points of Attack Rating."

"Isn't that a bit too high?"

"Is this really First-Tier?"

Lu Cang looked at this unit's description, feeling something was a bit off inside.

The units provided by this Root Flesh Hivemind never play by common sense.

This First-Tier unit already has the strength of a Second-Tier mid-level, right?

Not as strong as Third-Tier, but just looking at the panel, it already surpasses Second-Tier.

25 points of Attack Rating, in other words, is equivalent to a human being able to snap a large tree with one punch.

Even the bite of that 【Long-Arm Giant Crocodile】's massive jaws is only 50 points of Attack Rating.

Most importantly, this is still a First-Tier's stats.

Looking at this unit's description, this unit can also continuously evolve through combat.

It can evolve up to Third-Tier at most.

【Crawler King】 — just how terrifying would that be?

…………

Now, most of the cave's surface had already turned blood-red.

During these two hours.

Lu Cang's flesh worms had also produced 2,000 of themselves.

They diligently hauled flesh and blood.

Turning this cave into a cave of flesh and blood.

The outer flesh wall had completely sealed off the cave entrance.

The thick flesh wall, combined with mimicry.

Made this place look completely unremarkable from the outside.

As for the interior, as long as Lu Cang willed it, it could also complete mimicry immediately.

Seamless, with not a hint that there was a cave here.

Lu Cang could even imagine.

If in the future he wanted to trap someone, he could even lure them into the cave.

A perfectly normal cave — in an instant, the entrance closes.

At the same time, from the darkness, one flesh-and-blood unit after another awakens from mimicry.

That feeling is indeed terrifying.

"Let's first differentiate five hundred Crawlers and see just how strong they are."

Lu Cang's current headache was still the number of units.

If too many Crawlers were differentiated.

It would mean a decrease in the number of flesh worms.

The efficiency of acquiring flesh and blood would also drop.

But without combat power, there's no way to hunt monsters either.

To obtain Gene Points.

"Let's analyze the other corpses first."

Lu Cang deposited the corpses of the Lone Wolf, the Wild Boar, and the Green Slug into the Analysis Pouch.

【Lone Wolf genes analyzed】

【Claws added to the Crawler】

【Wild Boar genes analyzed】

【Tusks added to the Crawler】

【Green Slug genes analyzed】

【Mucus added to the Crawler】

The Crawler's appearance had changed to a certain degree.

Among its originally sharp teeth, two outward-protruding tusks had appeared.

While crawling on the ground, it would also leave a trail of mucus.

This made the ground very slippery, allowing other Crawlers to gain a certain amount of speed.

At the same time, Lu Cang gained 15 Gene Points.

The current Gene Points totaled 75.

"This Analysis Pouch is quite powerful."

Although each change was minute and the improvement not great.

Yet these improvements came from some weak monsters.

If the number of analyses increased in the future.

Even just the Crawlers would become extraordinarily powerful.

Not to mention the possibility of awakening other troop types.

"However, I don't know what conditions are needed to awaken other troop types."

"Never mind. As long as I can hunt enough monsters, one of them will surely become a new troop type."
