Void Beetle Evolution Guide

The girl in the lead seemed to know more and saw the strangeness of Skarlosh at a glance. She stopped others from approaching the beast and grabbed a stone and threw it hard.

This smash was like a stone that set off a thousand waves. In a blink of an eye, the entire sand dune began to shake, and the vortex sprayed gravel, pushing the giant beast's body up and down like a wave. Dense swarms of crickets emerged from the gravel, waving their large claws in search of any prey that had entered the trap.

Of course, they found nothing and soon burrowed back under the gravel. If no new prey was caught before nightfall, there would be only a skeleton covered with bite marks left here tomorrow.

The scene of the swarm of insects frightened the children so much that they covered their mouths and kept silent, not daring to make a sound. The leading girl looked solemn as she gave orders to the people around her.

"Hurry back to the village and call all the adults over! This place is too close to the village. You don't have to eat the meat, but the crickets must be driven away. Uma, your father is a hunter, he will definitely know how to deal with this situation."

The children hurried back, and the sand became calm again, but the heart that had witnessed the whole wild hunt could not calm down.

"Keisha, is it the person I think it is?"

Perhaps not many people recognize the name Kaisha, but if the pronunciation is slightly changed to "Kasha", I believe many people will recognize this famous Daughter of the Void.

She is a hero who walks alone between the two worlds, and takes it as her mission to destroy the void. Even if she is misunderstood as the "messenger of the dark future", she still insists on saving those who are threatened by the void in her own way.

The main reason why Kaisa is misunderstood is the source of her power - a living void beetle armor that coexists with her.

Coincidentally, the original form of the insect armor was the virtual spirit of the Wild Hunt clan.

Chapter 3 Opportunity for Evolution

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

Becoming Kai'Sa's Symbiote is the only known evolution path for the Wild Hunt.

He hadn't considered this aspect before because he had no choice. Now that he thought about it, instead of pinning his hopes on the illusory mutation and evolution, it would be better to seize the opportunity when the beauty has no owner.

The Wild Hunt knew his own kind very well. These bugs were all copied from the same mold. There was no reason why he couldn't do what other Void Elves could do.

Therefore, the key to symbiosis should not lie in the Void, but in Kaisa himself.Mei is in me, where are you? Kong Yong is not Lin You Yong......

As long as Kassadin can be convinced or controlled to make time for the fusion, this will most likely be successful.

If successful, the Wild Hunt could abandon this weak body, unlock its potential and evolve into a variety of powerful weapons, flying and hiding, and being omnipotent.

From now on, you don't have to do everything yourself. Just give orders to Kaisa, the substitute liver, and you can hang up efficiently while watching the beautiful women operate and watching your attributes continue to improve.

With the help of human bodies, he can walk on the earth openly. When he is bored, he can have someone to chat with, which is much better than sneaking around alone.

As for the inability to move independently, it is not a serious cost in the eyes of the Wild Hunt.

The restrictions on him in his ethereal form were too great, and there were many things he couldn't do. This false freedom only made things more difficult for him.

Moreover, Kassadin is still young, and many of her values are not formed yet. If she is trained well, she may become an obedient child. And it does not mean that he cannot control Kassadin by force, just like taking over her body, controlling her body beyond her will.

The Wild Hunt feels that this matter has great potential, but having said so much, the most important thing is to first verify whether the Kaisa in front of him is the Kaisa of the future.

That evening, the hunters successfully drove away the Kmilo, and the villagers dragged Skarlosh's body back to the village. Just as they were having a feast, a group of uninvited guests in ragged cloaks broke into this remote valley village.

The Wild Hunt sensed the breath of the void from these people. They were probably the cultists who had led the sacrifice earlier. They had a clear purpose and asked the villagers for tribute right away, saying that they wanted to offer sacrifices to the dark power underground.

The villagers kindly shared the meat with the cultists in an attempt to get them to leave, but the cultists did not accept their kindness and still demanded that the village prepare living sacrifices on time, otherwise a terrible disaster would befall them. Their alarmist remarks led to the banquet ending in a bad mood.

After that day, the Wild Hunt rarely saw the children in the village go out. It seemed that they were on guard against the group of strangers and were forced by their parents to stay at home all day.

The same name, the same place, the same event... There are not so many coincidences in the world. All signs indicate that the little girl named Kesha is indeed the future Kaisa, which makes the Wild Hunt feel excited and urgent at the same time.

If nothing unexpected happens, under the threat of the cultists, the villagers will find a way to collect the animals for the living sacrifice and put them in a pen. However, Kaisha let the sacrifice run away without knowing it, resulting in the entire village being sacrificed, and finally she was left alone to survive underground.

Seeing that the next sacrifice is imminent, no matter what plan the Wild Hunt has, it must be accelerated.

For the next two days, the Wild Hunt continued to dig holes in the valley, connecting them day and night, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and set up several exits for his nest.

Unsurprisingly, his actions alarmed the villagers. A passing child who was out cutting hay heard the noise and told his parents, but the adults did not take it seriously because they were busy with the sacrifice.

Then the news spread among the children, and they all knew that some narrow caves had appeared in the valley inexplicably in recent days. However, because they were not allowed to go out casually, the children never found a chance to form a team to explore the caves.

The Wild Hunt couldn't wait for his Kai'Sa, so he came to her house in the middle of the night...

The next evening, Kesha and her friends gathered in the shade by the well.

The stone well holds a pool of hard, gritty water, emitting a faint moisture that resists the hot and dry air of the desert.

A lot of strange things have happened in the village recently, and opportunities like this to get together have become rare, but Keisha was not in the mood to chat. She leaned against the wall, hugged her knees, and thought about things seriously.

"Keisha, I heard that your house was robbed? Is that true?" Uma, a petite girl with freckles on her face, asked with concern. She was the one who had the best relationship with Keisha among the group of children.

"Oh, don't mention it. I slept well last night, but when I woke up, the goat disappeared inexplicably." Kesha was too lazy to look up when her name was called, and she sighed in the curious gazes of everyone.

"Could it have been taken away by a wild beast?"

"If it was a wild beast, it would not disappear so quietly without leaving any trace... The goat didn't even cry, which means it probably knew the thief." Kesha paused, seeming to stop talking.

There were indeed no footprints or bloodstains left by the bite at the scene, but this was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that the goat's noose was still intact, not untied or cut, but left intact in the same place.

It is hard to imagine how the goat could have gotten away without untying the noose.

"If the crime was committed by someone you know, there are only a hundred people in our village, so why not just ask them one by one?" said a boy with his arms crossed behind his head.

Keisha shook her head. Her mother had already taken her to ask all the neighbors earlier. If she had any clues, she would not come here to complain.

"Could it be those weirdos who did it?"

"It shouldn't be. The goat was originally meant to be sacrificed. There's no need for them to do this." Kesha shook her head and denied it again.

She thought of the strangers wandering around the village a few days ago. She hid behind her mother at the time and saw something moving strangely under the skin of those people under their tattered cloaks, and a few teeth in their mouths were loose, as if they were about to come out.

Although Keisha hated them, she felt that no one would be stupid enough to notify them before stealing.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of the threats from those people that some villagers who were unwilling to give up their property stole her goat in the middle of the night and hid it to wait for the task.

As for why they specifically picked on her family for bullying, it might be because her family moved here later and her father was working as a tour guide in another place and seldom came back.

"Oh, it's really a headache. Why should I do this..." Kesha complained meaningfully.

Now every household has to hand over a goat. The worst case scenario is that the villagers team up to bully her family. If they are in collusion, she won't be able to find the goat even if she digs three feet underground.

She couldn't wait until the last day of delivery to look for the goat she had lost. If she didn't find it, it would be too late to make up for the missing goat. If something happened, her family would not only be held fully responsible, but also be treated even worse.

"By the way, Kesha, do you know the caves that suddenly appeared in the past few days?" someone suddenly asked.

"Are you saying that my goat might have run into a cave?" The coincidence of time made Kesha feel that the caves that had recently appeared were very suspicious. Thinking of this, Kesha stood up suddenly and said, "Does anyone know where that cave is? Take me to see it!"

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke earlier looked up at the flaming sky and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Kesha, the village has been in turmoil recently, and my parents don't allow me to go home too late."

"I'm almost going back, or I'll get beaten."

"How about we go together early tomorrow?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, but no one was willing to take Kesha to explore the cave. Only the hunter's daughter Uma stayed until the end, but she was about to go home.

Seeing Kesha's lost face, Uma stepped forward to comfort her: "Kesha, I can only tell you that the cave is in the mountain. It is narrow and dark, and no one knows how deep it is. No one dares to go in."

"I don't mean to blame you. This is my family's business."

"I know you're brave, but if you want to go, you'll have to hurry up." Uma patted Kesha's shoulder and encouraged her, "When the storm is over, let's have some fun together!"

"Well, it's a deal! Once I have explored the cave, I will take you on an adventure."

Kesha nodded. Uma's words gave her confidence. She was very happy to have such a good friend. After shaking hands with Uma, she hurried to Shanyang before it got dark.

Chapter 4: First Contact

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

After searching for a while on the mountain, Kesha finally found the cave.

Her friends were right, the cave was dark and narrow, and even a child like her could only crouch down to grope her way in.

Besides, she didn't bring any lighting tools, so not only could she not see what was going on deep in the cave, but the way back was also pitch dark.

After hesitating for a moment, Kesha bravely took the first step.

It is not like her to be hesitant. Thinking of her mother's surprised smile when she saw the goat was recovered, she felt that nothing could stop her.

The cave walls were relatively smooth and flat, not like they were formed naturally, but not like they were dug by humans either. For some reason, the exposed rocks were charred black and had lost their original color.

After walking about ten steps, Kaisha discovered a faint purple light coming from the cave wall. When she got closer, she saw a layer of purple mucus hanging in the cracks of the cave wall, emitting a strange fluorescence that made people unable to look away.

It was clearly just a shallow crack, but it gave Kesha a feeling of great depth, as if the other side of the crack was an infinite space filled with purple light, constantly devouring her gaze.

Kesha didn't dare to touch the strange mucus with her fingers, because in addition to the confusing visual illusion, the mucus also reminded her of insect secretions, which were corrosive or toxic...

The girl took out a sharp dagger, which was a birthday gift her father brought back from outside when she was 18. She liked the dagger very much and carried it with her all day long. She would take it out and polish it when she had nothing to do. After two years, it was still as smooth as new.

Kaisha poked the crack with her dagger and immediately felt a resistance. The child's curiosity was satisfied, it turned out that it was just mucus and did not connect to any other space.

Just when Kesha was about to apply the fluorescent mucus to the dagger to serve as a light, she noticed that the tip stained with the mucus had turned black. She quickly scraped the dagger on the ground and gave up this dangerous idea.

As we continued to go deeper, the cave suddenly became narrower, as if it had reached some kind of bottleneck.

Keisha started out by bending over, then had to squat to move her feet, and finally could only crawl on her knees.

She couldn't see anything. The cramped darkness wrapped her tightly like a body bag. When she came to her senses, she even had difficulty turning around.

The narrow passage ahead was difficult even for goats to go deep into. Just when Kesha was about to give up, a sound came from deep in the cave.

"Boom-"

Keisha thought it was the sound of sheep's hooves hitting rocks, so she called out twice and listened with bated breath.

The "dong dong" sound was heard again, and her call was answered. Kai'Sa crawled deeper without any doubt, but she didn't know that she had fallen into the trap of the Wild Hunt.

There were no goats in the depths of the cave, only three clusters of still purple light spots. Kesha thought they were fireflies or something, until a deep abyss of purple light slowly opened up in the darkness below the light spots...

It was not an abyss. The light reflected the outline of the mouth. The sharp teeth were arranged tightly like a comb, and vicious saliva flowed in the gaps. A ball of pulsating light floated deep in the throat. The light shone through the joints, allowing Kaisha to vaguely see the monster's posture in the dark.

It has four legs and three eyes. It is covered in a dark purple carapace. It has a head and thorax similar to those of the Zerg, but without a bulging abdomen. Its huge mouth is open to the throat, and its stomach is empty except for that "heart". Normally, such a simple structure cannot move, but at this moment, it is indeed approaching him step by step, like a puppet.

"Kesha."

A low, hoarse voice exploded in her mind, and the girl finally came back to her senses from her shock. She stepped back subconsciously, but her knees bumped against the rough rock, and blood oozed out immediately.

It was at this moment that Kesha saw the monster's heart beat suddenly, as if it smelled blood.

"Don't come over!" The narrow space put Kaisha in a dilemma. Anticipating that the monster was about to pounce on her, she could only raise her dagger towards the monster, hoping that this would scare it away, but her trembling hands betrayed her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The voice rang in my mind again, and the monster stopped and no longer approached.

But there was no sense of security at all at a distance of less than two meters. The only thing she could trust was the dagger in her hand. The heart seemed to be the monster's weakness. If she could stab the dagger into the heart, maybe -

"Your thoughts are too loud. If I say I won't hurt you, then I won't hurt you!"

The voice had a slightly annoyed tone, and Kesha's breath was choked, thinking that her thoughts were discovered.

The Wild Hunter's claws scratched the ground twice in annoyance. He had wanted to communicate calmly, but he didn't expect that he would scare the little girl like this just by opening his mouth. The appearance of the Hollow is really disgusting.

Of course, he didn't know what Kesha was thinking exactly. The void creatures didn't have such perverted abilities. He could just feel that her brain was working furiously, humming like a motor.

As for what the girl was thinking, there was no need to guess. The smell of fear had already filled the space.

"Kesha, you don't need to look for a goat. I've already eaten it. But I won't eat your food for nothing. In exchange, I can save your mother and your village."

Kesha didn't want to listen to the monster's sweet talk, she just wanted the bad guy who stole the goat to pay the price, but the topic raised by the Wild Hunt immediately captured her mind.Plum blossoms are in the forest, and there is no forest in the forest......

"What did you say? We...need to be rescued?!" the girl made an incredulous sound.

"Poor little guy, he doesn't know what he's about to encounter." The Wild Hunt sighed, "Those cultists ask people for living animals to sacrifice to the void underground. There are monsters like me there, but they don't have any wisdom at all, only an insatiable hunger."

"The protection the cultists promised you does not exist at all. Don't think that a few sheep and cattle can satisfy their appetite. Doing so will only attract the swarm of insects and put the village in danger."

When talking about their kind, the Wild Hunt's tone was full of disdain, but Kaisha couldn't just believe one side of the story. The evil purple light reflected on the girl's face, and she mustered up the courage to ask the monster a question.

"How can I believe that what you say is true?"

"I don't need to prove anything. The cultists will not let you go. They will come again after they came once. This time they demanded a living animal. If they can't provide an animal next time, they will ask you to make up for it with human beings. If you resist, they will have a reason to ask the prophet to take action and bury you all under the yellow sand.

Or, the underground swarm of insects will find your village first when they expand. Then you won't even have the chance to prepare sacrifices. The swarm will kill and eat everyone, everything you love, and not even a bone will be left. "

The Wild Hunt spoke with such conviction, as if he had really witnessed his own kind doing such a thing. At this moment, Kaisha no longer had any goats in her mind. She was thinking about how to deal with this unexpected disaster.

"Then how can I protect my village?"

"You're not running away?" the Wild Hunter asked.

"Can't escape."

Many familiar figures flashed through Kaisha's mind, and she almost blurted out the answer, but what she got in return was the Wild Hunter's sneer, who laughed at her for overestimating her own abilities.

"The tide of the void is about to hit, and you, a mortal, dare to protect a small boat that is isolated and helpless?
