Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 3 Encountering a tough opponent

Recently, news has been coming out of Changning County that there is a water ghost causing trouble.

At first, the rumor didn't make much of a fuss and was only circulated among the kitchens of a few restaurants. However, as more and more restaurants were stolen, the rumor became widely known.

But in the entire Changning County, it is nothing. After all, only some food ingredients were lost. Perhaps those chefs who were infected with the plague embezzled the food and put all the blame on the water ghost.

"Wow."

Deep in the calm river, the water slowly ripples and a figure emerges.

The dim moonlight shone on his face, and it was clear that he was a pale and slightly thin young man.

This person is Lu Ming.

Compared to a few months ago, he has almost built up his body through consuming a lot of food these days.

Although he still looked thin, he no longer looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin.

The moment his head left the water, the gills behind his ears closed instantly and he started breathing through his lungs again.

His eyes wandered around and landed on the bustling pleasure boat in the distance.

After his body had almost recovered, he felt that he should start integrating into human society. He couldn't just live in the water forever.

If you want to enter human society, you must have money!

Since these people have the leisure time to spend money in the pleasure boat, they must be worth a lot of money, so we can only ask them for some money.

Lu Ming chuckled and dived into the water. When he approached a pleasure boat, he used his hands and feet to climb up silently.

He had been stealing food everywhere these days, and a layer of soft pads had evolved on the soles of his feet. With a little force, the pads would expand, allowing him to walk almost silently.

He once again blocked out part of his thoughts and instead distributed most of his strength to his limbs and five senses.

At this moment, he was like a nimble big cat, walking close to the walls of the pleasure boat, his body swaying slightly with the boat, keeping his center of gravity always balanced.

Lu Ming grabbed the bulge on one side of the window with his arms, and climbed into the window with his body hanging upside down. The moment his feet touched the ground, he rolled forward.

Such movements were impossible for him with his former working man's body, but the few months of living in the wild, eating and sleeping in the wind, have made him evolve to be as agile as the most agile beast.

There were constant sounds of laughter coming from the room. Lu Ming cleverly used the furnishings and partitions in the room to block him and quietly came to a pile of scattered clothes on the ground.

He kept his head raised and remained alert, but his hands did not slow down at all. He touched, scratched and pinched the clothes, and felt something hard.

Lu Ming didn't have time to figure out what these were, so he just hugged them and took them away.

"who!"

He was about to return along the same route, but suddenly, a sharp shout came from the bed on the side.

As he was speaking, a sharp whistling sound was heard breaking through the air.

Lu Ming was startled and immediately pushed hard on his feet and jumped out of the window.

"boom."

A figure wearing only underwear suddenly broke through the screen and appeared less than ten feet away from Lu Ming.

The man squatted with his feet bent, like a horse stance, and stomped his feet on the ground, then turned into a phantom and moved forward. At the same time, his hands slashed down into the air. Although there was still a distance of several feet, a fishy wind fell down, like a roaring tiger.

Lu Ming struggled to gain leverage on the window sill, but before he could turn over, he felt the other person's palms pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe. "Bang."

The opponent's palm slammed heavily on Lu Ming's back, and instantly there was a crisp sound of broken bones.

Fortunately, Lu Ming also used the power of this palm to turn over and fall into the river.

"Damn you thieves! Block off the nearby river! I want you dead or alive!"

"This person has been hit by my Five Yin Palms, so he won't be able to run far."

The man on the boat rushed out of the cabin, his dark face covered with beard looked at the ripples in the water, his expression gloomy and frightening.

There was a sudden panic in the pleasure boat, and dozens of people rushed out from all directions and responded loudly.

……

"Ahem, this is too abnormal. Even Tyson's punch is not this heavy."

Lying under the water, Lu Ming felt as if his entire spine had been broken. The intense pain was so excruciating that he didn't even know if it was an illusion. He even felt as if there were spikes inside his body, drilling and digging everywhere, turning his body into a broken water bag, and his strength was constantly draining away.

However, he only lay there for a quarter of an hour before the pain disappeared. It was not because he was numb, but because his body had passively evolved the ability to block pain.

At least from now on, this level of pain will basically not cause him much interference.

Soon after, he felt a tingling sensation along his spine, as if a million tiny ants were crawling around. It was unbearable at first, but soon the tingling and itching subsided.

His body is super-adapting to evolution.

As time went by, the muscles in his waist swelled up little by little and became thicker. If he reached out and touched his spine, he would even find that where he could originally touch the bones, a layer of soft flesh half an inch thick had grown.

If he were to take an X-ray, the structure of his entire spine would become even more complex, as if another layer of support had been built on the original spine, and there were even nerves growing inside.

This means that not only does the external protection of the spine become thicker, but even if the spine is broken again, he can even use these supports to continue supporting the body's operations, which is equivalent to adding a spare layer of spine.

Of course, the price of these adaptive evolutions was that his body became thin again and his face became frighteningly pale.

"Damn it, I don't know whether I lost or won this time."

Lu Ming kicked his feet slightly under the water, and his body quickly jumped out.

He found that the regrown spine had become stronger and more flexible. He could even twist his entire body into an extreme "s" shape, storing more power and releasing more powerful bursts of energy.

On the distant river bank, some people were lighting torches and searching for traces of the enemy.

It was obvious that the person Lu Ming was stealing from this time was of high status.

But even if you are extremely powerful, as long as you cannot drain the river water, it will be impossible to catch Lu Ming.

After getting far away, Lu Ming found a corner, unfolded the pile of clothes he had stolen, and took out a bunch of scattered things from it.

A waist badge.

A purse.

A porcelain vase.

What Lu Ming valued most was the purse. He quickly opened it and found several silver ingots in addition to a small amount of scattered copper coins. Although he didn't know the purchasing power of the currency in this world, he estimated that it would not be too little.
