My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 5 No one is allowed to do this?!
Ok?
Chu Mu's consciousness was exceptionally clear.

There was no light at all around.

But he could still see the things around him clearly.

This is a cave.

There are exposed rocks all around, and stalactites hanging down from above.

Is it a dream?

Chu Mu struggled to get up, but found that his body was extremely uncoordinated.

After trying twice, he fell to the ground again with a "bang".

Well, at least the clear touch proved that this was not a dream.

Has he traveled through time?

Chu Mu was a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Don't mess it up, okay? I finally lived for sixteen years and took the crucial step to become a star warrior, but I ended up traveling through time again after sleeping?
"Don't torture people like this."

He wanted to say that, but his voice changed when the words came out of his mouth.

"hiss--"

A low roar echoed in the cave, and Chu Mu fell silent.

This is...his voice?!

Chu Mu turned his head and looked at his body lying on the ground in a strange posture. His eyes were filled with deep astonishment in an instant.

No one lets him do it?!

Wait…why does this lower body look so familiar to him?

Chu Mu tried to lift one of his forelimbs, and was slightly stunned when he saw the forelimb that looked like a folding knife.

This seemed to be the star beast from which the source blood he absorbed came.

Since it is connected to the past, it should not be time travel.

Chu Mu raised his upper body high and rubbed the lower edge of his wedge-shaped head with his forelimbs. His pair of compound eyes flashed with thoughtful light.

So, what happened that turned him into the star beast he absorbed?

Logically speaking, if it was possible to refine source blood, this mantis-shaped star beast should have been completely destroyed.

He couldn't figure it out, at least the empty cave in front of him couldn't give him an answer.

leave here.

Chu Mu made a decision quickly.

The entrance to the cave was not difficult to find. This body had an intuition far superior to that of humans. With just a little sensing, he discovered the location of the entrance.

But before leaving, he might need to get familiar with his new body.

I have finally found the reason why I felt my actions were not coordinated before.

The body had six hind legs, far from being human.

The only good news is...

"Shh-"

Chu Mu opened his right forelimb, and the folding knife structure of the first and second forelimbs opened up, turning into a sharp blade that was three meters long. In the dark cave, he instantly slashed at the rock wall at an angle, cutting a gap in the hard rock wall like cutting tofu.

The forelimbs are relatively close to the hand holding the knife, and the weapon he is good at using is the knife, so the feeling of incoordination is much less.

So the main issue now is getting the lower body moving.

Chu Mu turned his head and stared at his six legs, trying to lift and move them one by one. In this way, he became familiar with the muscle groups that controlled the movement of each leg.

At the same time, familiarity with the forelimbs and other parts of the body was not missed.

After a long while, Chu Mu controlled his six legs to bend and support the ground while exerting force at the same time.

"Click——"

With a slight sound, his lower body successfully left the ground and was suspended steadily in the air supported by six long legs.

Very good, stand up.

but…

Chu Mu then fell into another difficult problem.

When walking with six legs, do the three on the left move forward at the same time?
He tried to lift his three left legs.

"Bang!" Well, it seems that this is not the way to go.

Standing up again, Chu Mu tried seriously.

After trying many ways and falling again and again, he finally found a walking posture that was relatively stable and that made him feel "smooth".

左1、3腿与右2腿同时迈进，而后是左2腿和右1、3腿迈进。

In this way, the three legs supporting the ground can always form a triangle.

(Author's note: Insects generally have the triangular gait described above)
After walking around the cave smoothly, Chu Mu actually felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

He had experienced a similar sense of accomplishment not long after he traveled through time fifteen years ago.

At that time, he was less than one year old and successfully "learned" to walk. His father Chu Nanzhou was so excited that he drank a glass of wine and shouted "child prodigy", and his mother hugged him and kissed him non-stop.

However, when Chu Mu thought of his father who sacrificed his life to save him and his mother who was still unconscious, the sense of accomplishment that had just risen in his heart slowly dissipated.

Let's first understand the current situation.

He continued walking in the cave, waving his front limbs from time to time, leaving deep marks on the rock wall.

Soon, walking turned into running. Chu Mu, who had gradually adapted to the limb muscle groups, used all six legs to exert force at the same time, flying around the small cave at a high speed, creating a whirring sound in the wind.

"Click——"

As rock chips splashed under his feet, Chu Mu quickly stopped.

Although I am still a little uncomfortable, my body coordination is much better than before.

It's time to go out and take a look.

Chu Mu walked slowly in the direction of the cave entrance he sensed. After a few turns, light shone through the cave entrance onto the rock wall and also reflected on his feather-like compound eyes.

One step, two steps.

As he got closer to the cave entrance, Chu Mu's speed slowed down.

With a fear and vigilance of the unknown.

Finally, standing in front of the cave entrance, Chu Mu saw a lush and verdant new world outside the cave.

Countless green plants, whose species he could not identify, occupied his entire field of vision, forming an endless sea of ​​forest.

Suddenly, a sharp hissing sound came from not far away.

"呷-"

The voice was filled with despair and anger, which scared Chu Mu.

He carefully walked around the cave behind him and poked his head out from the rock.

Soon, a bloody scene appeared before his eyes.

There were two star beasts fighting each other, one of them looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the other had a deer head and a lizard body.

The strength of the two sides was obviously not at the same level. The star beast with a deer head and a lizard body pressed down the Tyrannosaurus star beast and kept tearing it apart, and blood splattered with every blow.

The Tyrannosaurus roared again, but it was obviously much weaker.

Soon, it became silent, allowing the star beast with a deer head and a lizard body to tear and devour it.

Looking at this scene, Chu Mu was stunned.

Star beasts are the darlings of the universe, and their bodies are filled with cosmic energy from the moment they are born.

But they cannot actively absorb cosmic energy to become stronger.

The way star beasts become stronger is to devour.

Devour all beings with cosmic energy.

Every time they devour and become stronger, their own form will undergo a small change and improvement. Such changes are called the evolution of star beasts.

Star beasts can evolve infinitely and become infinitely stronger!

And now, he was witnessing this scene.

He could clearly feel his own desire for the flesh and blood of the dead Tyrannosaurus star beast. He could also feel that the deer-headed lizard-bodied star beast, whose strength was close to his, was slowly getting stronger in the process of devouring.

In a very short time, only white bones remained of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's corpse. After finishing its meal, the deer-headed lizard-bodied star beast slowly turned its head and looked towards where Chu Mu was.

Chu Mu was startled and belatedly realized a problem.

Now, he is also a star beast.
