Jia Yan seemed to have some understanding. His series of mutations followed some related things, which resulted in his current state. From then on, his mutations continued to occur within the circle of those related things.
However, now it seemed that the strength of his body had reached the limit of that series of things!
So now, when he saw this metal substance from the UFO, he also felt the desire to devour it. However, this substance was no longer part of that series!
In other words, as long as Jia Yan survived this mutation, he would break free from the original framework and embark on another path!
Devouring, becoming stronger, continuing to devour, and becoming stronger!
In Jia Yan's compound eyes, a strange gleam of ambition gradually grew larger and larger...
"How strong will I become if I continue to grow like this?!!"
"I don't know! Really don't know! But... I'm looking forward to it!!"
Jia Yan still didn't understand the principle behind his mutation from a small mosquito to his current state. He didn't know what unique features his body possessed compared to other mutated creatures or other mosquitoes. All he knew was that the most unique and powerful aspect of his mosquito body was his extremely strong intelligence. Perhaps this intelligence was the fundamental reason for everything!
But whether this was actually the case was unknown!
At least, he had reached this point, and the path ahead was clear!
Being able to devour mutations, his future path was almost a broad avenue of devouring and evolving mutations!
Before, this path was not visible, or rather, he didn't know that the solidified masses on his body could be controlled through his devouring 'thoughts'. Now that he had discovered this approach, he realized how vast his path forward was!
Of course, there were two prerequisites for this. First, he must continue to discover mutation substances beneficial to him in the future!
Secondly, his body must not stop devouring powerful substances after reaching its peak. If it stopped, even if he had great ambitions, it would be of no use!
But those were all things for the future. For now, the most important thing was to survive this mutation!
Jia Yan continued to sense the changes in his body.
These changes were still bearable for him at the moment.
The devouring continued!
The grayish-green stones on the ground decreased little by little.
There were over a hundred of these stones. Jia Yan slowly devoured them.
Soon, about half of these stones had been devoured.
He began to react!
Although he considered the grayish-green stones as inferior goods, they still demonstrated their power!
A burning sensation arose in his body!
"So hot, the grayish-green stones truly deserve to cause such strong explosions. After being devoured by me, they immediately transformed into extremely powerful energy!"
Jia Yan looked at the grayish-green stones on the ground. When they were dissolved by the solidified mass, they turned into a fine powder-like substance. This substance slowly absorbed into his body through the solidified mass, as seen by Jia Yan.
At the same time, his body reacted.
A faint grayish-green color almost occupied his entire body. Starting from a tiny amount, these substances gradually multiplied, and his body was eventually dominated by this grayish-green color!
No longer black, but still deep grayish-green!
Jia Yan continued to experience the process of his mutation. However, the excruciating pain almost made him lose his consciousness. Yet, after such a long time, he still managed to observe the process. At least now he understood that when the grayish-green stones were devoured by him, the solidified masses in his body also devoured the soil and other substances on the ground. After all, the grayish-green stones alone couldn't provide all the mutation substances he needed!
But before that, Jia Yan's compound eyes brightened!
With so many mutation substances available now, he would no longer force his body to devour ordinary soil!
Even if it was just an auxiliary material, it was unacceptable!
At least, he couldn't let these ordinary substances become the main mutation substances for his body. After all, in his previous mutations, he almost exclusively used the wreckage of fighter jets. If he were to use soil again this time, it would be a complete reversal!
So he reluctantly enlarged his body, taking a step forward!
This step was extremely difficult. The solidified masses beneath his body were gradually solidifying, forming new substances for his body. Although they hadn't fully condensed yet, it was still extremely difficult to move relying on the old body!
But Jia Yan still moved!
At this moment, he used all his strength to take this tiny step. With this step, the solidified masses beneath his body also moved slightly, immediately approaching the several metal substances placed on the ground where Jia Yan stood!
"When devouring this substance, I might not be able to hold on. So I must observe the initial process carefully!" Jia Yan considered that when his body devoured the metal substance, he might not be able to endure it and would lose basic judgment and observational abilities. Therefore, he decided to pay close attention to the initial process!
Creak creak!!
The solidified masses finally touched the metal substance in front of them, and a sound similar to boiling oil meeting water erupted!
Indeed, the situation this time was different from Jia Yan's previous mutations!
Jia Yan tried hard to observe the situation below with his compound eyes.
Crack crack!!
Sounds kept echoing.
The unstoppable solidified mass actually completely stagnated when it encountered this metal substance!
Jia Yan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect this metal substance to be so powerful. When he mutated before, the solidified mass could devour almost anything it encountered directly! But this metal substance could actually resist the solidified mass!
This was something Jia Yan hadn't expected.
And it was at this moment that he felt a different kind of excitement surging within his body.
The solidified mass increased, and an inexplicable organ appeared at this moment. It seemed that these organs directly produced countless solidified masses from the cells. When these solidified masses appeared, they surged towards the metal substance below.
Devouring!
With great pleasure!
This was how these organ tissues felt.
Jia Yan seemed to experience an indescribable pleasure!
But at this moment, a heart-wrenching pain emanated from his body, causing his pleasant sensations to vanish instantly!
"Ah!"
Jia Yan's compound eyes widened!
This painful sensation seemed to tear him apart, wanting to tear him, destroy him, and explode him completely!
The metal substance, whatever it was, caused such a huge reaction in Jia Yan. After this reaction, it seemed to have been devoured only a tiny bit, as if it hadn't decreased at all!
"I knew there wouldn't be any mutations that could pass so easily!"
Jia Yan's whole body began to tremble, and his consciousness seemed to be lost!
Pain, swelling, sourness!
This feeling was still extremely unfamiliar to him. Jia Yan's previous mutations didn't feel like this. It seemed that this time, his style had really changed, and he had embarked on a different path of mutation!
So the direction of enduring pain was also different!
Endure!
Even if it's difficult, he had to endure!
Jia Yan felt the direction of his body's mutation, but the constant torture forced him to give up his observation and focus all his mind on enduring the pain!
Pain, pain, pain!!
Swelling, swelling, swelling!!
But still, he had to endure!
Without endurance, how could the mutation succeed!
Without endurance, how could he become stronger!
Jia Yan persisted!
A flame seemed to burst out from his compound eyes!
"I must persevere!"
He felt that a certain kind of solidified mass gradually appeared in front of his compound eyes, covering his field of vision!
This was his last sight before the mutation!
Finally, Jia Yan's entire body was covered by the solidified mass.
Under the cover of the solidified mass, those metal substances melted slightly faster.
