LOL: Let me touch your steel

The identities of hunter and prey have been swapped without anyone noticing!

......

Seeing Zhang Xu killing the last burrowing beast with one punch, a hint of doubt flashed in Kassa's eyes again.

Although she had not hunted many void creatures such as the burrowing beast before, she knew that the defense of this kind of creature was very terrifying. The only weak spot was the heart.

But every time Zhang Xu threw a punch, the landing point was not the heart of the burrowing beast.

This means that Zhang Xu’s strength is even beyond her expectations.

A simple cooperation made Kaisa feel more fearful.

But after all, the two of them had worked together, so Kassadin didn't ask too many questions, and the atmosphere between the two seemed much more harmonious.

Feeling the energy flowing in his body, Zhang Xu smiled happily.

The energy obtained from these seven burrowing beasts was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Originally, Zhang Xu thought that these burrowing beasts could only provide him with some strength growth at most, but he didn't expect that he would have an unexpected surprise.

Zhang Xu withdrew his gaze from the burrowing beast and looked at Kassadin again.

Because of the continuous attraction and restraint just now, Kassa's face was covered with a little sweat, and her dark purple hair was also stuck to her cheeks. But this did not reveal her embarrassment, but instead added a different kind of temptation.

Zhang Xu glanced at her for just two seconds before looking away. He extended his hand towards Kasa and said with a smile:

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhang Xu's skin is exceptionally fair because he has been in the underground world for many years without sunlight, which forms a sharp contrast with Kassadin's arms covered with dark purple shells.

Looking at the hand that Zhang Xu extended to her, Kassa hesitated slightly, but still stretched out her arm and gently held Zhang Xu's hand.

The cold shell was not smooth and did not feel as soft as one might imagine.

Wherever you start, it feels as hard as steel.

If nothing unexpected happens, this shell that grows into a skin-like shape will accompany Kassadin throughout her life and will never fall off.

Chapter 8 It smells so good

Looking at Zhang Xu's busy figure, Kasa's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. She had the rare leisure time to relax a little, leaning on the ruins beside her and quietly watching Zhang Xu's actions.

Zhang Xu's behavior seemed very strange to Kasa.

First, she found a vacant space in the ruins of the ancient city, then she took great pains to drag over one of the burrowing beasts whose body was relatively intact. Now she was starting to build something that she didn't quite understand.

Kaisa really found it hard to understand Zhang Xu's behavior.

But she found it inexplicably interesting, especially when she saw Zhang Xu struggling to drag the corpse of the burrowing beast over here by himself. It was particularly funny.

Seeing that Zhang Xu seemed to have given up on building the thing she didn't quite understand, Kasa finally couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing? The corpse of the burrowing beast... Is there any other use for it that I don't know about?"

It seems that this is the only reasonable explanation for Zhang Xu's strange behavior.

"Of course it's for food! Otherwise why would I go through all this trouble?"

Zhang Xu was a little surprised why Kaisa asked this, but he did not forget to invite Kaisa:

"Would you like to try it with me? The meat of the burrower is delicious. I've eaten it once before, and the texture is similar to... beef, very chewy. Of all the void creatures I've eaten, the burrower is the most delicious."

Eat void creatures?

Kassa's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.

Looking at Zhang Xu who looked as if it was a matter of course, Kasa suddenly began to doubt her usual understanding.

Is it that her understanding of the void conflicts with Zhang Xu's?

Void creatures...can they be eaten?

Although there is no clear evidence that there are any toxins in the bodies of void creatures, these void creatures are monsters after all!

After eating the flesh of void creatures, are you really not afraid of being completely assimilated by the void?

No matter how a human being survives in the void or how he coexists with the void, erosion is inevitable.

Being able to coexist with void creatures by chance like her is already the luckiest thing.

Kassadin has seen too many people who were accidentally drawn into the void. Even if they were full of a strong desire to survive, even if they tried every possible way to survive, they could not escape the erosion of the void and eventually lost their self-consciousness and died.

Even if you do nothing, the void is eroding you all the time.

Not to mention people like Zhang Xu, who keeps eating the corpses of void creatures.

Logically speaking, Zhang Xu should have been assimilated by the void a long time ago. At the very least, he would be like her, and the mark of the void would inevitably appear on his body.

For example, the hair turns dark purple, the pupils turn dark purple, and light purple facial lines appear on the face.

These should all be inevitable.

But Zhang Xu had none of that.

Zhang Xu really didn't notice Kassa's slightly strange look. He naturally thought that since Kassa had survived in the void for such a long time, she must have eaten the flesh of void creatures.

Zhang Xu used magic to raise a ball of fire and started to torture the corpse of the burrowing beast.

Originally, he was planning to make something like a rack to tie the burrowing beast on and roast it. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that it was impossible for him to make a rack that could withstand the weight of the burrowing beast.

The weight of the burrowing beast must be several tons at least. Unless it is made of some special materials, it is impossible to lift it up.

But this is the void, the underground world. Where can he find materials that can bear the weight of the burrowing beast?

After thinking it over, Zhang Xu simply used fire magic to roast him alive!

Seeing that Zhang Xu really intended to eat the burrowing beast, Kassa couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth twice, and said helplessly:

"You can't cook it even if you roast it all summer. If you really want to eat it, I can help you cut a few pieces of meat from his body."

"Cut it off? Do you have the tools?"

Zhang Xu's eyes lit up slightly.

He certainly knew that it would be difficult to cook the meat like this, but he had no other choice.

It is easy to ask him to kill a void creature, but it would be difficult to ask him to dismember a void creature.

He didn't have any tools to dismember the body.

Kasa thought about it and nodded gently:

"It should be fine. Just avoid the thick scales on the burrowing beast's body and cut from its belly."

Kassadin raised his arm towards Zhang Xu. The void shell attached to his skin could become a perfect cutting tool.

The shell, as hard as steel, is enough to cut off a few pieces of meat from the burrowing beast.

Kaisa knew this as early as when she was possessed by this void creature.

At that time, she was very frightened about having such an ugly and terrifying thing on her body, so she used the birthday gift her father gave her - an exquisite dagger, and stabbed the shell on her body frantically, hoping to peel off this thing that did not belong to her body.

There is no doubt that she failed.

The dagger, the only thing that could be called a thought, broke into two pieces, but the shell on her body remained intact.

From then on, she realized that the hardness of this shell was far beyond her expectations.

With Kasa's help, Zhang Xu quickly grilled the first piece of meat.

Although the heat was not controlled well and nearly half of the meat was burnt, the air still exuded an enticing aroma.

The meat of the burrowing beast...

This is the taste!

Really fragrant!

Just so that he can eat such delicious meat so easily in the future, he has to continue following Kassadin!

Seeing Kasa's fixed gaze, Zhang Xu took back the meat that was already near his mouth, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes:

"How about...you eat first?"

"I don't need to eat."

As if wanting to verify this statement with Zhang Xu, Kasa stood up from the side and walked in front of Zhang Xu:

"Hand out."

Zhang Xu looked at Kasa with some confusion, not knowing what she wanted to do.

But he still stretched out a hand and placed it in front of Kassadin.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xu saw a flash of purple light.

Kasa used its hard shell to successfully cut a hole in Zhang Xu's arm.

The wound was not big, at most the length of a finger, and it was not deep. Zhang Xu didn't even feel any pain.

Bright red blood gradually flowed out from the wound and fell on Kassa's arm placed below.

Blood dripped onto the carapace of Kassadin's arm and was instantly absorbed greedily without leaving any trace.

"I don't need to eat anymore. The nutrients I need can be provided by this layer of armor on my body. As long as I feed it, it will always provide me with the nutrients I need."

Chapter 9 Traveling together

Symbiotic relationship.

These words quickly emerged in Zhang Xu's mind.

There is no doubt that Kassadin and the void creatures attached to her have reached a very special and perfect symbiotic state.

The two of them should no longer be able to be separated.

Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully:

"I understand the reason, but why do you want to use me as an experiment?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xu saw Kasa's smiling face.

Okay, he just asked this question...
