Void Beetle Evolution Guide

Kassa had never used a carapace weapon before, so she tried it out of curiosity. A stream of liquid energy gushed out from her palm, and then transformed into a grayish-white, soft biomass like a fetal garment, which was suspended in her palm, shrinking and expanding unsteadily, and occasionally protruding into a tentacle-like shape.

"Construct it into the shape you want." The Wild Hunt reminded.

Kasa's knowledge of weapons was very limited. Apart from farm tools, the closest weapon she could imagine was the dagger her father gave her.

However, the gift had been lost in the cave when it was sacrificed by the prophet, and she could not find it even when she looked for it deliberately when she came down again.

Kassadin imagined the shape of the dagger. The gray-white substance began to react with the air, transforming into layers of complex fiber structures, and finally hardened and blackened into a uniquely shaped armor plate.

The edges of the armor were round and smooth, but after the disintegration field was applied, it could cut through the rock silently. Kassa didn't even feel any resistance, as long as she didn't move the blade too quickly.

As for crystal weapons, they have not been completely eliminated. Although they are not as sharp and more fragile, they are fast to generate and cheap, which is a bit of a saving grace.

A group of Void Spirits came to the bottom of the rift. Kassa took a look and didn't pay much attention to them. They came down to collect the bodies, and she was about to follow the Void Spirits to the regeneration pool.

"The functions of skin armor are really increasing, and will continue to increase with evolution." Wild Hunter suddenly said.

"Yeah, I think so too. I feel like my brain is not enough." Kassa subconsciously put her hands on her face.

She now has to control both her own body and the skin armor extending from her body, which puts too much of a burden on her brain.

In a rapidly changing battle, each additional ability would increase the complexity of calculations exponentially, and she would likely miss the best decision on how to use these abilities because she didn't have time to think too much.

"Don't worry too much. When you are too busy, I will assist you in the battle and personally control some functions of the skin armor to reduce your burden."

"Wild Hunt will you fight alongside me?" Kassadin was excited when he heard that.

"Isn't it the same now? Once I evolve the shoulder pods, we can truly 'fight side by side'."

The shoulder pods are huge pods that extend from the back of the shoulders. They are designed for attack and have extremely strong firepower. The turrets are not connected to the limbs, so the Wild Hunt has little effect on Kai'Sa's movements when controlling it.

However, even so, the target selection still needs to be allocated well. Otherwise, if the Wild Hunt and Kai'Sa fight for heads, it will be a waste of firepower.

"I feel that we need to develop a better understanding. If we are of the same mind, we can accomplish many things without having to say anything."

"That's true, but how do we cultivate tacit understanding?"

"When you don't have time to speak during the battle, I will let the skin armor directly stimulate your body. You can use this to train your instincts and make different reactions according to different stimuli. For example, pain is a warning of being attacked, itching is a signal of attack, and numbness means reward. Different parts of the body need to be analyzed according to the specific situation... There are too many to list in a short time. The human body is amazing and can distinguish completely different feelings. It won't be too late for us to slowly develop your body later."

"Ah, then you better be gentle."

The Wild Hunt smacked his lips. He felt that the word he used was too evil even for himself, but he couldn't find a better alternative. Fortunately, Kai'Sa couldn't hear any other meaning.

……

Kassadin followed the corpse-collecting void spirits for a long time, entered a cave, and finally saw the regeneration pool mentioned by the Wild Hunt.

In the center of the cavern lay a purple lake, with many Void Spirits lurking around it. Liquid Void energy flowed through it, making the surrounding rocks glow faintly, reflecting ripples from another dimension.

It was bottomless, as if it led to another world. The boundary between the two realms was like the sand sea of Soangsa, with the tides rising and falling. In the ocean of evil light, there was a constant vortex of dissolution and regeneration, and the surging energy stirred in it, occasionally forming ugly shapes.

When she saw it for the first time, Kassa felt that it might be more appropriate to describe it as a bottomless abyss rather than a lake.

"With so much void energy accumulated here, will nothing happen?" Kassadin was shocked beyond words, fear coursing through her body.

"The void energy did not corrode and decompose the rocks it touched, but instead formed a channel. This is impossible according to common sense. The only explanation is that the regeneration pool has self-awareness, or is restrained by a more powerful force, which prevents it from causing terrible consequences. The regeneration pool currently looks very stable, and this situation should continue. It will not collapse easily."

The Wild Hunt's words calmed Kaisa down a little. She came to the edge of the abyss and watched the group of void spirits drag the broken shell in.

Soon after being thrown into the lake, the debris stirred up a vortex of energy in which they were simultaneously deconstructed and reshaped, and within a few breaths, they took on a complete form.

Then something even more bizarre happened. There were clearly only a few pieces of debris thrown into the lake, but hundreds of phantom spirits poured out of the lake one after another, which was completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of mass.

Kasha's eyes widened unconsciously, wondering if she had missed any details. Then she realized that the things thrown in were just some kind of signal, and their real purpose was to attract monsters from another realm to come to this world.

"Can we find a way to fill it up? Leaving it like this would cause too much harm." As she spoke, she looked towards the rock above her head, as if she wanted to knock it down to fill the regeneration pool.

"What can we use to fill it? Rocks will be dissolved as soon as they fall into it. If we use steel instead, it will only last a little longer. There is no material in the world that can directly withstand this kind of erosion."

"Is there no way at all?"

"If it's a god-level power, maybe we can seal it up."

The idea of filling the sea was not feasible, so Kassa could only focus on the Void Spirits. They had just entered this world and were still wet and shiny, and their shells had not yet completely hardened, so she raised her hand.

This action immediately exposed her identity, and countless void spirits gathered towards the area where Kassadin was, but she didn't want to hide any longer and fired frantically at the surging swarm of insects.

She first killed the lone Void Elves on the edge one by one, and when the swarm gathered in large numbers in front of her because of the cave entrance, she accumulated plasma bombs into a more powerful plasma cannon to kill them all in one fell swoop.Mei Zai You wants Mei to have no time for Yong and Lin You Yong...

Kaisa began to use the terrain to create advantages for herself. The reason she did not use crystallized bullets was because the clustered crystal clusters would block the entrance of the cave, blocking her own gun line, which would be detrimental to clearing monsters.

The Void Hunter poured out high-energy plasma, annihilating hundreds of Void Spirits every minute. In just five minutes, all the Void Spirits in the cave were slaughtered by her.

After clearing out the Void Spirits, Kaisa subconsciously came to the corpse and squatted down to retrieve the heart. At this time, the Wild Hunter's words woke her up.

"There is a vast amount of liquid energy in front of you. Do you still care about this little bit of essence under your feet?"

Chapter 26 Shoulder Pods

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

The Wild Hunter's words reminded Kassadin, and she realized that ignoring the liquid energy in the regeneration pool and recovering the Void Heart was like picking up sesame seeds and forgetting watermelons.

"But is it really a good idea to do this? I always feel that thing is very dangerous."

Kasa's intuition told her that this feast might not be so easy to eat. As the arsenal of void creatures, the regeneration pool was laid out in front of her without any defense. This was not logical. Maybe the real danger was lurking under the water.

"Didn't you want to come here in the first place? Are you scared now?" The Wild Hunter smacked his lips. "Since we are here, let's give it a try before we go. If we don't take that step, we will never know what is waiting for us ahead. We may even be the first to try something new."

"I've never eaten crab." Kasha pouted and argued. She couldn't resonate with a delicacy that she had never tried.

Because the Wild Hunt provided nutrition directly to her body, she hadn't tasted anything with her mouth for a long time. Although she wasn't hungry, sometimes her mouth still itched and she wanted to eat something, but unfortunately there was nothing edible underground.

"It's just a metaphor. But you can eat it if you want. When you are strong enough, we will leave the desert and venture out into the world. Then I will cook crabs for you myself."

"You can cook? I thought you ate everything raw."

"It's just that I don't have the conditions and I'm not in the mood. Otherwise, it would be nice to cook some dishes in my spare time to improve the taste. I can share your taste now. Cooking for you is actually cooking for myself."

"It's a good deal to have two people taste one dish." Kassa was looking forward to it. She felt that she would have a lot to talk about with the Wild Hunt about food. "But if we leave the desert... who will deal with these monsters?"

"You have a strong sense of responsibility, but don't think that what you are doing is important. Killing a few minions is not enough to stop the spread of the void."

"That's a lot. We've only been here for a few days, and we've already killed more than 10,000 of them."

"No matter how many you kill, can you expect to produce as many as the Void? There are many regeneration pools like this in other places. They can produce tens of thousands of Void Spirits in a day."

After Wild Hunter said this, Kassadin realized that what she was doing was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Slaughtering the void monsters at the bottom can only slow down the spread of the void. If you want to solve the problem from the source, you have to find those beings in the void that hate the real world and drive this race out of Runeland from top to bottom.

The ultimate goal is to fight against the entire void, which is almost impossible for her to do alone. In the end, she has to leave the desert to find help.

They came underground at this stage to accumulate strength and to eliminate the void creatures.

Then, trying to absorb the energy of the regeneration pool is not also a way to accumulate strength? If the regeneration pool is damaged, the purpose of reducing the number of void creatures is also achieved.

"Okay, I'll go over and try it now." Thinking of this, Kassa had no reason to back down. Even if there was a possible danger, she still had to take the risk and give it a try.

Kassa walked towards the center of the cave step by step, walking along the slope covered with corpses.

Crouching down beside the abyss, she felt the vast energy was within her reach. She could feel the armor's thirst for evolution, as if she could undergo an unprecedented transformation as long as she swam in it.Mei Zai You wants Mei You Kong Yong but Lin You Yong doesn't...

Kassa put one hand into the purple lake, and the liquid energy consciously formed a vortex around her arm. She didn't know what she thought the skin armor was. A fellow human, or an enemy?

The Wild Hunter split open his palm, and the energy flowed into the armor like a siphon. Not only that, but every "pore" on the armor was also greedily absorbing nutrients.

This channel seemed to be connected to the real void. The void energy was inexhaustible. In just a moment, he extracted energy equivalent to thousands of void hearts.

The surging energy was churning and stirring in the body. Because the speed of absorption was much faster than the speed of digestion, ugly swollen blisters formed on the shoulder armor, which were filled with pus-like high-purity energy.

The Wild Hunter never thought that there would be a day when he would not be able to eat, and his insatiable appetite was finally satisfied at this moment. But on the other hand, Kai'Sa could not resist the violent impact of this huge energy, and his sanity was teetering on the edge of the abyss.

"Wild Hunt, are you okay?" Kassadin covered her head in pain.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon."

The evolution has reached a critical point. The Wild Hunt calmed Kassadin down a little. While controlling the speed of extraction, he used the energy to reconstruct the shape of the skin armor.

He transferred those tumor blisters to his shoulders, forming large hollow pods. The honeycomb internal structure enabled it to fire a large number of ammunition at the same time, while also accommodating more energy and distinguishing more uses.

However, at this moment, Kassa could no longer bear it and howled in pain.

Her eyes and hair were all dyed into the deep purple of the void under the influence of the void energy. Opposite purple marks appeared on her cheeks and forehead, a total of six facial marks, corresponding to the three-element nature of the void.

The Wild Hunt knew exactly what was going on. In addition to being a biological weapon, the biggest function of the Void Skin Armor was to protect the host inside from external harm.

However, he absorbed too much energy in a short period of time, turning his protective suit into a can, causing Kai'Sa to be "immersed" in high concentrations of void energy and corroded.

The original evolutionary route of killing monsters to level up was similar to boiling a frog in warm water, which was a slow process. But what he was doing now was like throwing a frog into boiling water, which would naturally produce a strong reaction.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If the pod is not formed, the tremendous energy absorbed into the body will have nowhere to go and will eventually corrode Kassadin completely.

Just as Kai'Sa was about to fall and lose consciousness, the Wild Hunter finally completed his evolution. He wrapped his body with skin armor and moved her stiff limbs away from the abyss passage.

After arriving at a safe place, the Wild Hunt tried his best to eliminate the negative impact of the Void on Kaisa. Under the continuous weak bioelectric stimulation, the latter gradually regained consciousness.

"My body... feels so heavy." Kassa groaned, covering her head. The remaining pain in her mind had not yet completely disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I was bewitched by power and put you in danger."

The Wild Hunter's guilty voice suddenly sounded in her ears, making Kassadin feel embarrassed. In her memory, his tone had never been so soft.

"I'm fine, I'm just not used to it. It feels like there's a weight on my shoulders."

Kassa took a look at her hair that had turned purple and felt a little curious. Then she focused her attention on the huge and heavy foreign object on her shoulder.

"Is this the pod you mentioned? It feels... so out of place."

"Don't underestimate it. This thing can directly increase your threat level by two levels. It's completely different with or without it."

Kassa tried it and found that the shoulder pod could be expanded and folded by thought, just like the elytra of a beetle, but it was not for flying at all.

When unfolded, it will be lifted up, with the mouth of the pod over the shoulder facing forward, emitting a blazing light, ready to fire at any time. When folded, it will fit completely on the back, taking up less space, and it will not prevent you from passing through narrow tunnels, but it cannot disappear completely like a helmet.

Gurgling.

There was a strange movement in the abyss passage. Thousands of whirlpools appeared in the energy lake. The spirals of matter formed disgusting shapes. Weird and terrifying bodies crawled out of the abyss one after another.

Seeing this, the Wild Hunt said, "It's a good opportunity to try out the power of the pod. Believe me, once you use it, you won't be able to leave it."

Chapter 27 Accidents Occur Frequently

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

A large number of Void Spirits emerged from the abyss, and the appearance of the insect tide made Kaisa concentrate. She moved her shoulders to let the skin armor stick tightly to her flesh.

She took the lead. The scaly pods on her shoulders shrank and tightened. The crystals embedded in the pods began to emit a blazing light, and purple energy surged out to form a round of missiles.

The rainstorm from Icathia drew an arc of death in the air. A barrage of dozens of plasma cannons bombarded the insect swarm, setting off a series of violent explosions and directly clearing out an area in the insect swarm.

This power really shocked Kai'Sa, and then he heard the Wild Hunter say: "Let me control the pod, and you just focus on the battle."

Kassadin kept raising his hand to shoot, repelling the approaching enemies, and at the same time retreated to the cave entrance to facilitate defense and escape.

The shoulder pods released another round of missiles, and she could feel the burning heat of the plasma cannons on both sides of her helmet. Under the control of the Wild Hunt, the missiles turned in the air and accurately hit the most densely populated area of the enemy, detonating a rain of blood and limbs.

She had to admit that the shoulder pod's firepower was very fierce. It was a weapon of a completely different dimension compared to the previous one that could only be activated by the palm of the hand.

As an independently operated launcher, the pod can increase her firepower by three to six times. Moreover, all the launches are charged and locked plasma cannons, with a very impressive attack range and a terrifyingly high hit rate.Mei Zai has no time to sing and Lin has no time to sing......

The most important thing is that Kai'Sa can completely hand it over to the Wild Hunt for control without having to distract herself to operate it, which is equivalent to having a fully automatic ammunition launcher.

As long as she wanted, she didn't even have to do anything herself. She could just focus on dodging and let the Wild Hunt take care of the rest, truly freeing her hands.

With the pod, the number of insects began to be insufficient. Gradually, the speed at which the insects poured out was surpassed by the speed at which Kaisa killed them.

The regeneration pool seemed to sense that the battle situation was not good, and it began to surge abnormally again. In the boiling tide, an arm that could not have grown naturally hooked the edge of the abyss and dragged out a strange and terrifying body.

This was the most "localized" void monster that Kassa had ever seen. A huge goat-like head was attached to its tall skeleton, and its body was covered with only a layer of dead fetus-like flesh. The light of its heartbeat illuminated the ground through the gaps between its ribs. Bladed limbs spread out from its pale abdomen, and a bloody mouth split from its throat into three flexible petals, revealing its cold fangs and filthy saliva.

Gnawing, Threat Level 3.

This skeleton monster came with three heads, and before the mucus on its body had even dried, it glanced in the direction of Kassadin.

Kassa met the gaze of those dark eyes, which were filled with endless malice. Vicious saliva dripped from the three-petaled mouth, and even the air around them was distorted.

"Be careful of the lightning in its mouth. Once you are locked in, you can't escape."

The Wild Hunt's words made Kassadin pay special attention to gnawing on the specially shaped mouth. The three-petal mouth not only had fangs, but also constantly leaping purple arcs of electricity.

They did not rush over, but instead accumulated a tragic purple light deep in their throats. The intense pain from their skin armor made Kassa feel the danger of death.

Kaisa twisted her ankle and launched herself, the heat dissipation armor plates sprayed out high-temperature airflow, and she dodged a round of missiles while dodging the fatal attack.
