Void Beetle Evolution Guide

Void Beetle Evolution Guide Author: Sangmao

The Wild Hunt is reborn as a Void Spirit, which is cannon fodder among the void creatures.

In order to evolve, he possessed Kai'Sa in her childhood and became a symbiotic living skin armor with her. They were twins of one body and returned alive from the underground world filled with Void Cancer.

By chance, Erosion discovered that the skin armor would show different postures on different people and unlock different abilities, and from then on he was unstoppable and occupied new bodies.

But the problem is...none of them who were occupied seemed willing to let him go.

Then just take them all as your relatives!

Chapter 1: Underground Hollow

Groups of Void Spirits gathered in this dark underground cave. No traces of natural carving could be seen on their bodies, and their chitinous shells condensed into nightmare-like bodies. Three clusters of eyes emitted evil purple light, looking up from the abyss; their sharp four legs scraped against the rocks, making a harsh sound as they looked up.

These void creatures were attracted by food, and throughout the day, the Wild Hunt saw livestock or humans falling from the holes above their heads.

The entrance of the cave was at least ten meters above the ground, and the passage was of unknown length. Not even a ray of light could penetrate. People and animals with fragile bodies would either die on the spot or lose limbs if they fell from the height.

If you are surrounded by a swarm of insects, there is no chance of survival unless you have wings on your back.

Faced with mountains of blood and food, the hungry insects swarmed in. They were driven by insatiable hunger. Their cat- and dog-sized bodies were filled with huge stomachs with insatiable appetites. They were born to eat all living things on the ground.

Cutting, biting, dividing and eating...for a moment the cave was filled with the dense, teeth-grinding sounds of bones cracking and gnawing.

The Wild Hunt was attracted by the smell of blood, but did not pounce on the mountain of meat to eat like his fellow creatures.

He is a time traveler and the only virtual spirit with self-awareness. However, time has passed so long that he has forgotten his real name. His mind is disturbed by the will of the void day after day, so he finally gave himself the code name of Wild Hunter, using crazy hunting to symbolize his endless hunger.

He tried to understand what happened here? Why was there a patio leading to the surface? And why did people and animals fall into the underground?

However, the strangest thing at the moment was not these, but that he did not hear any human screams among them, nor did he feel any fear from them.

Faced with the threat of death and having their fragile bodies torn apart by the terrifying swarm of insects, even livestock will scream, struggle, and be terrified, but the humans who fall with them will not react at all.

Even though his limbs were broken, he didn't cry out in pain, and he wasn't afraid when being eaten by insects... He just lay there, waiting to die without moving, which was very abnormal.

At first, the Wild Hunt wondered if he had encountered a mass suicide, but judging from the behavior of these people, they had no subjective initiative to commit suicide.

Even vegetative patients still have active brains, but these people's brains have been initialized and returned to the embryonic period. Their consciousness seems to have been dissolved, and they are completely unable to feel danger or pain, and are unable to respond to any external stimuli.

"This should be an evil living sacrifice, and these people and animals thrown down are sacrifices to the void." The Wild Hunt finally made a judgment.

The strong smell of blood whetted his appetite, and after confirming that these were all foods fed to him, the Wild Hunter also joined in this feast that fell from the sky.

Unlike other Void Spirits, the Wild Hunt specifically targets goats for their food, leaving the two-legged sheep for their own kind.

It has been a long time since the Wild Hunter traveled to Runeterra and reincarnated as a Void Spirit. It is difficult to tell the passage of time underground. He doesn't know how long he has been here, but his remaining humanity has not completely disappeared.

Just like humans would not eat monkeys as their staple food, the Wild Hunt would not eat humans if they had a choice. Even though these people had become empty shells without souls, they still felt uncomfortable.

With a head that was three times larger than its chest and abdomen, it used its bloody mouth that was open to the throat to forcibly tear off a leg of lamb. A purple light emerged from the body of the Mad Hunter, and the gravity generated immediately sucked the whole leg of lamb in.

The lamb leg "dissolved as soon as it came into contact with water". Within a few breaths, it dissolved into a whitish paste like a dead fetus. It then underwent an incomprehensible transformation and finally turned into a stream of purple energy, flowing into the glowing heart.

The body structure of the Void Spirit is extremely simple, with no differentiated internal organs, only a luminous body that stores energy, which can be called a "heart" in terms of structure. They have not evolved organs such as tongues or chelicerae to assist in eating, and their mouths can only open and close simply, so they rely heavily on the gravity provided by the "heart" to swallow food.

This was the first time that the Wild Hunter had eaten meat since he was reincarnated as a Hollow Spirit. Before this, he had always eaten his own kind, and he had always thought that Hollow Spirits had no sense of taste.

Void spirits can digest anything they eat and swallow it whole. They do not need to use their sense of taste to determine whether a food is harmful to them, because their existence itself is a poison.Mei is in my Mei, are you free? Yong is not Lin Youyong......

But at this moment he tasted the unique flavor of flesh and blood, which was so sweet that his insatiable hunger was temporarily relieved.

'No wonder the void creatures are so hungry for flesh and blood, it is the only way they can get stimulation.'

Biting, swallowing, feasting... Wild Hunter felt the excitement he hadn't felt in a long time.

You know, in the underground world where the spirits are rampant, basically no creatures from the surface can be seen. Even if there are creatures that accidentally enter the underground, they will be quickly discovered and eaten by the insect swarm. Only this kind of large-scale sacrifice that happens to take place nearby can get a share of the spoils.

For the next period of time, the Wild Hunt kept eating voraciously.

He devoured several goats that were several times larger than himself, including their skin, bones, wool and horns - all digestible organic matter was eaten by him, and his body grew at an unprecedented speed.

The eternal hunger and horrific digestion speed were like a curse that isolated him from the feeling of fullness, and he even began to compete with his own kind for blood food.

The Void is the outpost and pioneer of the void's invasion of the real world.

These invasive species often appear in groups, slaughtering all the creatures on the ground. They devour all organic matter in sight, turning everything gray and white, bringing irreversible salinization to the land, and letting the poisonous blood of the cancer of the void flow under the desert...

But at the same time, they are also cannon fodder to fill the line, the bottom existence among the void creatures, and brainless stupid creatures with simple structure that only know how to eat.

They don't understand what the Wild Hunt is doing, and they don't even have the concept of cannibalism. Even if the Wild Hunt knocks them off the meat mountain and steals their food, they won't want to retaliate, but will look for blood food nearby and eat again.

This is also the reason why the Wild Hunt can prey on them at will. Even if these Void Spirits are eaten, they will not think of resisting the Wild Hunt who they regard as their "kind".

……

No one knew when the sacrifice ended. No more sacrifices fell from the cave entrance. The hill formed by hundreds of sacrifices was soon cleared away by the swarm of insects, leaving only a dark red hard soil filled with a strong smell of blood.

Sufficient blood food has allowed the Wild Hunt to grow to the size of a hyena, standing out among the insect swarm.

While the swarm of insects was cleaning the table, he began to target those unsuspecting fellows. He skillfully dragged a lone Void Spirit to a corner and disemboweled it.

He used his hooked forelimbs to dig out the faintly pulsating heart, and the chitinous shell, which had no nutritional value, was abandoned aside.

The heart of the Void Spirit is a ball of essence of void energy, its light rises and falls like breathing, and sticky, acidic purple slurry drips onto the rock, immediately emitting black smoke from the dissolving substance.

All void creations have a similar structure, which is extremely poisonous to life on earth, and only he, who is also a void creature, can touch it.

The Wild Hunt devoured the essence in one gulp. Consuming this energy would neither make him grow nor relieve his eternal hunger.

Take the game setting as an example. The Wild Hunt can increase attributes by consuming blood food, but consuming the Void Spirit can only give him experience points. And because the race value of the Void Spirit is too low, the level cap is naturally locked, so giving him more experience will not improve it.

The main reason why he preys on his own kind is to find something for himself to do, such as slightly slowing down the spread of the Void Cancer, so that these bugs won't tear down the stage before it's his turn to appear.

In addition, he accumulates energy in order to wait for the opportunity to evolve.

When opportunity comes, only those who are prepared can soar.

……

The Void Spirits would not resist, and it was only a matter of time before they were eaten by the Wild Hunt. He could not save those who were eaten, so he ate his own kind, which was also a revenge for them.

When the insect swarm was completely wiped out, the Crazy Hunter, who had tasted the sweetness of food, felt hungrier and hungrier, and needed some fresh prey to fill his empty "stomach".

At this time, he noticed that the hole above was a little bigger than before. If he continued to feed people and livestock, it might become even bigger.

The Wild Hunt does not know if there will be another sacrifice, or when it will begin if there is one.

He did not stay underground waiting to be fed. His ever-present hunger urged him to nail his sharp feet into the rock and climb up the cave wall, heading for the surface world he had always been looking for but had never visited.

There is no future for him to stay underground as a void spirit. The Rune Land is full of powerful people, and he can be easily killed with his current abominable posture.

Therefore, even if he is hated and hostile by all native life, he must go to the stage under the sun, observe the humans in this world, look for prey... and opportunities for evolution!

Chapter 2 Kesha

=====================

The dark tunnel was not as deep as the Wild Hunt had imagined, but there was an invisible magical force that swallowed up the light like a black hole, making people mistakenly believe that they were in the abyss.

The Wild Hunter's eyes could see colors that did not exist in nature, and he saw many strange corals growing out of the cave walls. These corals glowed with dark fluorescence, illuminating the tunnel in complete darkness.

Black light, light that is not light... This concept astounded the Wild Hunter, but what surprised him even more were the many human bodies attached to the cave walls.

They seemed to be sucked into the undulating cave wall, leaving only half a body, an arm or a head outside. The protruding human bodies were like overgrown branches, twisting and stretching into the air.

The Wild Hunter tried to comprehend the strange sight before him. He was unsure if he would be sucked into the cave wall and become nutrients for the growth of black corals if he continued to climb upwards.

After hesitating for a moment, the Wild Hunt took a tentative step.

From the beginning of our creation until now, we have finally discovered a road leading to the surface, and we must not stop here.The plum blossoms are in me, I sing the sky and the forest has no flowers......

With its mattock-like spiked feet driven into the rock, the Wild Hunt half-hung its body on the cave wall, climbing up step by step against gravity.

The nearest head suddenly turned to face him. It was a dry and cracked face covered with winding lines. There was a deep lavender flash in the sunken eye sockets, as if leading to the endless void.

The Wild Hunt remained unmoved. The simple structure of his current body was no longer capable of producing any feelings of panic.

Seeing that the heads did not move, as if they were just blown by the wind, the Wild Hunter pretended not to see them and climbed up. These human bodies had been tainted by the void, with only human forms but no flesh and blood, so he could not stop for them.

Perhaps because he was a virtual spirit, the cave wall did not absorb the Wild Hunter. He successfully passed through the black coral road and reached the surface.

Looking around, he found that the surrounding environment was similar to what he imagined. The active range of the void creatures was roughly from Icathia to Shurima, and the area above the underground cavity was just the edge of the sparsely populated desert of Shurima.

It was the hottest time of the day. The scorching sun made the earth so hot that even the light was distorted by the heat wave.

Fortunately, the Wild Hunt is not sensitive to temperature. There are no organs made of flesh and blood in the body of the Void Spirit, so it can easily adapt to any environment that is not too extreme.

After staying in a dark and cramped place for a long time, the Wild Hunter felt a sense of rebirth when he was bathed in the sunlight again, and his chitinous shell became harder due to the exposure.

After making sure there were no living people around, he first stretched his limbs which became even more creepy under the sunlight, and then climbed up to the huge rock platform not far from the cave entrance.

Only when you stand on the high platform and look down, you can visually see how huge the hole used for sacrifice is.

It is hidden in the valley's low-lying area, and its area is as large as a football field. The scary thing is that it will continue to grow. As long as more people and animals are thrown in, the hole will eventually become extremely large until it can accommodate an entire city.

This was no longer something the Void could handle. The Wild Hunt searched on the platform and found traces of a tent. There were some ancient Ekassia symbols scrawled on the ground.

Most of the symbols have been erased manually, but the small part that remains gives people the illusion that they are constantly wriggling, as if they are about to come alive.

These cultists brought a slight sense of crisis, but based on the remaining campfires, the Wild Hunt speculated that the cultists had been gone for more than a day, so there was no need to worry about being captured after coming into contact with them.

The Wild Hunt turned his gaze into the distance. With the rocky platform beneath his feet as the boundary, to the south was the gray-white earth, and to the north was the endless desert.

Since the void was summoned by the Ekassia people thousands of years ago, the southernmost part of Shurima has become a forbidden zone for life. The void creatures have been expanding underground year by year, and wherever they go, they have turned into gray-white salt marshes.

As for the desert in the north, it is the territory of the Exais. This group of burrowing beasts are void creations that are more advanced than the Void Elves. They will drill out from under the sand and attack all life passing by. Only those who are desperate will try to cross the desert.

The Aksai sometimes kill each other, and it is even more impossible for them to let go of the Void Spirits like the Wild Hunt.

If you want to find prey, you definitely don't need to go to these two places. You can only move along the edge of the desert. Although those rocky valleys are remote, they can block the scorching sun and are the most suitable places for human settlement nearby.

As to whether to go east or west, the footprints left on the sand gave the answer.

Before the sun completely set, the Wild Hunt found a small village in a valley to the east.

There are only dozens of households in the village. The villagers are busy making their living. The unattended children gather together to play, not noticing that terrible things are happening nearby.

The smell of feces and grass rose with the hot air, and the Wild Hunter, standing on a high place, immediately spotted the pen of goats, which were exactly the prey he was looking for.

However, the Wild Hunt did not act immediately, and planned to observe for a few days. He had endured hunger for so long, and a few more days would not be a big deal. At least he would not starve to death before his energy was used up.

If it were his brainless peers, they would have rushed into the village and devoured people and livestock, and then been beaten to death by the united villagers.

A Void acting alone is still too weak. If a child holding a sharp weapon can overcome the unknown and fear brought about by the nightmare appearance, it is possible for him to kill a Void.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Wild Hunter dug a hole for himself in the mountains to facilitate subsequent observation.

Void creatures work day and night, and as long as their energy is not exhausted, they will not starve to death even if they don't eat or drink.

The Wild Hunt hangs itself on the rock wall. The hooked forelimbs of the Void Spirit are convenient for climbing and hanging walls, but not suitable for digging. They can dig a huge network of holes in the ground, using a special method.

He opened his mouth and spit out the energy essence stored in his heart. The liquid void energy dripped onto the rock, and immediately black smoke of dissolved matter emerged. Repeating the above method continuously, a cave could be corroded out of the rock wall.

This method consumed a lot of energy, but it was efficient and quiet. Within one night, the Wild Hunt had dug a cave that could only accommodate one person but was ten meters deep. Even if the villagers found it, they didn't have to worry about them breaking in.

At dawn, the Wild Hunt smelled blood in the air.

He followed the smell of blood to the sand outside the valley and found that a group of Kmi-loaches out hunting had knocked down a wounded Skarlosh.

Skarosh is the Runeterra version of the desert ship. This giant beast is as tall as a two-story building, with four slender hooves, a short and thick neck, a high arched back, and upward curved horns on both sides of its head, but its personality is very gentle.

The Krimyr were native to the desert, and they were huge, comparable to the Wild Hunt. Once they formed a group, they would turn into a black plague, and even giant beasts like Skarlosh were not immune.

The Wild Hunter was eager for flesh and blood, but he knew that his shell would definitely not be able to withstand the huge claws of the Krimys. Besides, the villagers had also gotten up to work and might discover the situation here at any time. He could only watch with envy as they divided the giant beast up.

The speed at which the Kmi-moles eat is much slower than that of the Void Spirits. When the temperature begins to rise, these nocturnal insects burrow into the sand to avoid the sunlight, leaving the uneaten Skarlosh there to be exposed to the sun.

The Wild Hunt's eyes could see colors that did not exist in nature, and he knew that the swarm was lurking under the gravel. Skarosh was the bait they deliberately left to lure those who wanted to get something for nothing.

The first person to discover Skarlosh was a child. He did not approach rashly, but went back to the village to call for help.

The Wild Hunt thought he would call adults over, but unexpectedly, a group of half-grown children came instead, hiding behind the rocks and looking curiously at the giant beast.

"Keisha, this big guy seems to have died not long ago." The little boy who discovered the body earlier asked the girl in the lead.

"I know what you're thinking, but Skarlosh are valuable beasts of burden and are not usually eaten."

"But it's already dead. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't eat it? Hehe, it's this big. I guess the whole village can't finish it even if they eat it for a week. The rest can be made into jerky... I'm drooling just thinking about it."

"You'll have to survive to eat that! See those gravel whirlpools? They're all traps. Don't get close to them, or else—"
