Void Beetle Evolution Guide

"Now find a house and go in."

"why?"

"Don't ask why. It won't hurt you."

"Any room will do?"

"Yes."

Kasha followed his instructions and walked into the nearest dilapidated house. The four walls of the house were relatively intact, but there was a hole in the ceiling. The sunlight shone through the hole, and the flying dust floated in the light.

She didn't know what the Wild Hunter was going to do, and she walked around the room nervously and expectantly. Just as she came to the cabinet and wanted to open it to take a look, the skin armor suddenly began to move violently.

Is it a punishment?

Kassa blushed and quickly reached out to hold the wall. She felt that her words had angered the Wild Hunt, because he had worked so hard to train her, but in return he only received resistance from her.

However, the girl soon discovered that this was not the case. The skin armor was not simply shrinking and squeezing, simulating thousands of sharp teeth biting into her flesh. Instead, it was constantly dissolving and hardening, reshaping into a new shape like kneading dough.

Although this process was very painful for her, it was not a punishment.

After a while, the abnormal movements of the armor gradually subsided, and Kassa lowered her head to examine the armor.

Today's skin armor has undergone some changes. It is no longer as evil and ghostly as the void creatures, but has incorporated human aesthetics and become more like a work of art.

The original skin armor is divided into two layers, inner and outer. Only the legs, forearms and some joints are covered with dark armor. Together with the huge pods behind the shoulders, Kassadin looks very uncoordinated, with thick limbs and a petite body.

Those crack patterns with flowing purple light were embedded in the skin of the torso like wounds. The all-consuming light created a deep illusion, making people think that what was inside was not a human but the void.

In order to balance the visual center of gravity, the Wild Hunter originally wanted to add a layer of Dark Armor on the torso, but he finally chose to weaken the presence of the Dark Armor to make Kaisa's body look coordinated and her limbs no longer thick.

He reconstructed the Dark Condensation Armor to make it denser and thinner. The unique fiber structure of chitin showed the same trend as the muscles in the human anatomy, making the armor look tighter and full of explosive power.

If the original Kassadin was like a layer of armor on a leather jacket, then now she is like wearing a bodysuit, except that the surface of this bodysuit shows a taut muscle texture.

In order to make it look less pale and monotonous, the Wild Hunt changed the material color of the armor, making it reflect colorful metallic colors like a clam shell, deepening the sense of hardness and making it more harmonious with the wound-like pattern.

At the same time, the Wild Hunt also added purple crystals as decoration on the skin armor, and distinguished some parts of the armor with gold edges, adding a sense of carefully carved art, and preventing the overall color from appearing too dark, as if wearing the starry sky of another world on the body.

After the pod can be separated from the body, the connection point between it and the shoulder has been modified, and now it looks more like a shoulder armor decoration. The arms are wrapped with decorative thorn rings, which does not appear too monotonous. It is elegant and also implies her danger.

However, what Kassadin is most concerned about is her chest. Originally, the boundary between the armor and the skin there was unclear, but now there is a pair of shell decorations like devil's claws, which gather her breasts to the middle from both sides, emphasizing the charm of a unique woman and making her look a lot more mature.

Kai'Sa admitted that this version of the skin armor design was much better looking, but it always gave her the feeling that her breasts were being held up by the Wild Hunter with both hands, which was a bit concerning.

"What do you think? There are more symmetrical elements, and the visual balance has been re-made. It should be more in line with human aesthetics than before." asked the Wild Hunt.

The metallic texture of the new skin armor makes it look even harder than the original chitin shell, but the thickness and flexibility of the skin armor have not changed at all.

Most importantly, it finally doesn't look like the Zerg.

"It does look much more comfortable, right here..." Kassa placed her hand on the claw decoration on her chest, her words a little hesitant, not knowing how to express her feelings clearly.

"If you don't like it, I'll remove it."

"It's not that I don't like it, it just feels... special."

"Girls your age are all wearing chest binders, it's nothing strange. And you'll continue to grow as you get older, you don't want your chest to hurt when you run, right?"

The Wild Hunt explained, but it didn't contain what Kai'Sa wanted to hear. She always felt that the Wild Hunt did it on purpose, but she also felt that what he said made sense.

Since he likes it, then I will just obey him. Kasha feels that their friendship is enough for her to cater to his preferences.

After all, the Wild Hunt has done so much for her. She doesn't want to be someone who only makes demands. She also wants to do something for him.

Chapter 32 Delivering Letters

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

Kasa walked out of the dilapidated house and saw a man who was looking for something furtively not far away.

She stood still on the street until the other person noticed her. He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, looking awkward and wary. After a moment of hesitation, he finally walked towards her.

Kasa folded her arms and said nothing, waiting for the man to speak. It was obvious that the other party wanted something from her.

"I will give you water and shade... Warrior, may I ask why you came here?"

"This place is very close to the monster's lair. I originally planned to come over to take a look. If there were still people living here, I would warn them to leave quickly... Unfortunately, I came too late." Kasa paused, "Did you make all these graves?"

The man with a decadent look on his face nodded heavily and told her what happened here.

The man called himself Bol. He used to be a villager of this village. He raised a camel and made a living by transporting goods for others.

On the day of the incident, he went to the nearby market to purchase goods. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he found that the village had been slaughtered by monsters, leaving no corpses behind, and he didn't even know what the monster looked like.

That's why, the moment he saw Kassadin, he mistook her for a man-eating monster that had returned to the disaster scene, and drove his car into her without hesitation.

It’s said to have happened in the past, but in fact it happened just a few days ago. In the blink of an eye, the family was broken up and people died. It’s really sad.

"Why didn't you leave earlier?"

"Those killer bees suddenly appeared recently, and we had no time to react. They built their nests in high places, where no one would normally go, and no one would know of their existence. If I hadn't encountered this, I wouldn't even know that I was living next to monsters."

If Kasa hadn't told him, Bol wouldn't even know what those monsters looked like or where they came from. The helpless man in front of her made Kasa purse her lips, feeling bitter.

Her village was in a similar situation at the beginning. Such a large hole suddenly appeared nearby and no one suspected it. The prophet regarded them all as sacrifices.

Even if the prophet did not take action, when the monster emerged from the ground, it would end up like this.

Kassadin couldn't imagine what would happen if there was no Wild Hunt. She and her mother would not be able to survive, and her father might live a decadent life like the man in front of her, and then when he got tired of living, he would lose hope and fight with monsters.

Thinking of this, Kasa suddenly asked, "Do you want revenge, Paul?"

"I do!" Boll was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his true thoughts with great determination.

"Very good," Kasa said, "I can help you get revenge, but you have to do one thing for me."

"whats the matter?"

"After I have avenged you, send a letter to Nashrameh for me."

Bol lowered his head and thought. Nashrameh was at the northernmost part of Shurima. It would take several months to reach it if he chose to go directly through the dangerous Great Sai Desert. If he took a detour with the caravan, it would take a little longer, but it would be safer.

This is not a difficult task, but it is a bit of an overkill to spend several months just to deliver a letter. You can just spend some money and have a caravan bring the letter to you.

Then why does the other party still do this?

Bol thought about it and realized that destroying the monster's nest was not an easy task. The other party definitely didn't want him to feel guilty about her, so she asked him to deliver the letter thousands of miles away to balance the effort and reward.

Besides, the journey of several months is not short at all, and once he goes there, he will most likely not want to come back. This is to prevent him from returning to this dangerous and sad place, and just start over in Nashrameh.

I didn't expect that the other party would consider me to this extent. The reason behind it gave me a third-degree burn.

After thinking it through, Bol knelt down in front of Kassadin and kowtowed several times in gratitude.

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will definitely deliver the letter to you for you, sir!"

"..."

Kasha was speechless for a while. She didn't know what Paul was thinking. She just thought that she hadn't sent a letter to her family for a long time. Since this person needed her help and had no worries, she asked him to deliver a letter for her.

Wouldn't she know to find a caravan to send a letter? It was just that she had no money and was too lazy to contact others.

However, this also raises a new problem.

"How do you plan to deal with the hive? It doesn't look like we can handle it at this stage." asked the Wild Hunt.

"I know that we can't deal with those monsters with our own strength, so we have to borrow strength from elsewhere." Kasa replied, "I plan to lure the fish here and let them kill each other."

"Oh? Then how can you be sure that they will kill each other instead of ganging up to attack us?"

"I noticed that not only can no living creatures be found near the hive, but even void creatures are very rare. They may have the habit of attacking their own kind. Of course, to confirm whether this is true, I will catch a void spirit and throw it to them. If they attack the void spirit, they will definitely attack the remora that is in the same group as the void spirit."

Kai'Sa expressed her thoughts, and this time the Wild Hunt did not refute her.

"Fighting fire with fire? You can try, but you need to expel all the living people around you before you start the plan. Otherwise, the situation will escalate and we may not be able to control it alone."

"I will."

Kassa nodded, and then headed towards the hive in a swift and decisive manner.

She first went underground and captured a Void Spirit, then used her crystallization ability to seal it in a crystal like amber, and then brought this "amber" that was bigger than a pregnant belly after ten months of pregnancy to the beehive.Mei is here, but I don't have you. I don't have you.

Then he threw "Amber" onto the beehive, and the crystal shattered, releasing the spirit sealed inside. He then stayed in a safe place and watched how the bee colony would deal with this invader.

Just as Kassadin had imagined, the swarm of bees had a strong sense of territory. They swarmed over and tore the Void into pieces in an instant, even dissolving and absorbing its shell, leaving nothing behind.

"It's really brutal. I'm looking forward to the battle between the swarm of bees and the school of fish."

After confirmation, Kassa returned to the ruined village. As soon as Bol saw him, he immediately went up to him and asked.

"Have you, warrior, taken down the beehive?"

"Not yet. I just went to confirm the situation." Kasa glanced at him. "I heard you say there is a settlement nearby. Is it far from here?"

"It's a small town, only about ten miles away from us. During festivals, people from all over the country would go to the town to attend the market."

Bol was still wondering why Kasa was asking this, but then he saw her face darken and she ordered without further ado: "Take me there now."

……

Paul controlled the reins and drove the camel cart towards the town, while Kasa sat on the trailer with her back to him.

He heard from Kassa that her village was also hit by a disaster, and people were sacrificed to the void, and only she survived. However, she did not choose to escape, but went underground to face the void, killing many monsters before returning to the surface.

The similar experience in the first half made Bol feel a sense of sympathy for Kassa, but he did not have the courage of Kassa. The latter also said that an ignorant person like him would not survive a night underground. He would be torn to pieces on the spot, leaving no trace of his body.

It was hard to imagine that an underage girl could have such a desperate experience; it was even more unimaginable that the other party would actually agree to help him destroy those void monsters.

Paul respected her especially because she had done what he could not do, and now they were about to go to the town to evacuate the people before the war.

Bol decided that Kassadin had been living in seclusion for too long and might have forgotten how to negotiate. If anything went wrong later, he must intervene at the first opportunity.

Chapter 33: The Town and the Dragon

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

Kasa rode on Bol's camel cart to the destination and saw a golden disc appear in the sky from afar.

"The sun disk."

The girl whispered its name and gripped the handrail of the trailer.

The Sun Disc is said to be the symbol of the ancient capital of Shurima. Its diameter is similar to that of a city, and it hangs high above the Dawn Oasis like a shining sun. Wherever it shines, rivers flow endlessly, the oasis is full of vitality, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, the sun disc in front of us is just a poor imitation of the past glory. It is hung above the temple with thick hemp ropes, and its volume is only one ten-thousandth of the real disc. It can neither accelerate the growth of plants nor squeeze out a drop of water. It is just an ordinary landmark, but this does not prevent it from becoming the belief of the Shurima people.

What worries Kasa is that the settlements that can afford to build the Sun Temple are usually not too small. And the more people there are, the more trouble she will have to drive them away.

Thinking of the disaster in her village, Kasa still blames herself for not driving people out quickly.

It didn't take long to get there by car, a distance of more than ten miles. After getting off the car, Kasa did not go in immediately, but went to a nearby rock to overlook the layout of the entire town.

This is a prosperous town with clean streets and beautiful houses, every brick and tile is bathed in the sun.

In addition to the Temple of the Sun, Kasa also saw a dome-shaped tower building with a newly built golden dome shining brightly in the sun.

This made her frown even deeper. The more beautiful the building, the more guilty she felt when she destroyed it. Her voice couldn't even reach the whole town. How could she make people hear her warning?

Finally, Kasha's eyes locked on the north side of the town, which was covered with large pieces of silk cloth. It was the awning of the busy market and the place where the crowd was the most dense. People's laughter and chatter kept floating to her ears.

After that, she sprinted and reached the distance of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

The sudden strong wind made people turn their heads to look at the figure that appeared out of nowhere in the center of the market.

Kassadin, wearing a shell, immediately caused a commotion, but it was just a commotion, not to the point of panic and scattering.

No one here knew her. It was the first time she appeared in public in this way. People were afraid of her appearance, but more of them were curious.

Did the Wild Hunt's changes to the armor have a positive effect? Seeing that people were not as scared of her as she had imagined, Kai'Sa was a little amused.

But she quickly adjusted her mentality, opened her mask, and shouted sternly, "A big war is about to happen nearby. I'll give you one day to move out of here as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Who are you? Why should we leave?"

A middle-aged man came forward to negotiate. He seemed to be the chief of the place, and several guards with weapons surrounded him.

"Didn't you hear me? I said there's going to be a big war nearby, and it's likely to spread here. If you don't want to die, leave now."

"I didn't see any war. I only saw a monster that wanted to drive us out of our home. No matter who you are, please leave immediately. If you insist on destroying the peace here, don't blame the sword."

"Good words can't persuade a damn devil."

The chief's answer was a long-accumulated plasma cannon. Through the vision of the mask, Kassa deliberately chose a deserted place and blasted a hole in the city wall that people thought was solid.
