[Scales]

[Introduction: Originally the scales of a large snake, they have been grafted onto the host’s body at this moment.]

[Level: 2]

[Mass: 0.82 kg]

[Function: Strong defense, impenetrable to weapons. It has a very strong buffer ability to cushion impact.]

At this moment, with scales fitted, Luo Fan was no longer afraid of a creature attacking his eyeball, the rupture of which would directly kill him.

Then, Luo Fan started to search the area again.

He suddenly realized that his goal to search for the source of the water flow did not seem that pressing anymore.

This was like a place of buried treasures; there were resources everywhere.

He kept moving forward, absorbing completely all the creatures he encountered around him.

The mass of Luo Fan’s body was also gradually increasing, and he soon broke through 10kg.

[Name: Luo Fan]

[Wisdom Level: Normal human+]

[Physical mass: 10.12 kg]

[Form structure: Eyeball, intestines, energy storage tumors, spiked tails, claws, sensory organs, scales]

[Form Distribution:…]

There were some white parts. Most parts were all green. The newly fitted scales were also green.

After these scales had been fused by Luo Fan, they fit his body perfectly.

He could reach a size of 10kg so quickly was in large part because he had fused with these scales.

“Next target, 100kg.”

Luo Fan spurred himself on silently.

Those dead giant beasts had long weighed more than that.

“Apart from those scales, there is nothing else I can fuse with.”

Luo Fan searched for a long time and also found some organs that were level-2.

However, those organs either had ordinary cells that were already rotted such that the remnant damaged organs formed by level-2 cells were of no use, or they were organs which Luo Fan could not fuse with, such as a large bone.

Luo Fan could not help but to feel it was such a waste.

There were hardly any more corpses seen in the surroundings. It was only at the very place where Luo Fan had first fallen that there were more corpses piled.

Some of the corpses here had either rotted away, leaving a pile of bones, or they had been gnawed clean by Luo Fan.

“I’ll continue forward. I’ve plundered most of the resources here. I can’t just sit here and wait for death.”

There are limited resources in an environment, and in this unstable environment, resources are even more scarce.

However, to Luo Fan, these seemed a lot.

He still had to leave this place and find a new way out.

Although the digestive ability of level-2 cells was very strong, it did not mean that everything eaten could be digested.

They would have absorbed only the useful substances and the energy inside. Useless substances would all be excreted.

As a result, although Luo Fan had eaten a lot of flesh, his current body size was only 10kg.

With fewer bodies, Luo Fan continued forward.

In this swamp, he had to stop every four to five meters.

He had to either determine the direction of the water flow or kill those snake-like creatures.

It took five to six hours to cover a distance of 300 meters. This was really slow.

He continued to walk forward, not knowing when he would be able to leave this place.

At this moment, he felt the water stir again.

“Here it comes again.”

Luo Fan quickly stopped and his senses picked up information from the surroundings.

However, this time, it was beyond his expectations.

There were many small snakes around, and the water was frequently stirred.

“This is a large group. Why is it so densely packed?”

Luo Fan was shocked. At the same time, he lifted those intestines on his body which he could use.

The few intestines quietly arranged themselves, protecting Luo Fan in every direction.

The snakes were getting closer. The water current was getting stronger.

Whoosh!

Luo Fan sensed that the snakes were right in front of him, and his intestines had already touched the bodies of the small snakes.

Just as he was about to attack, the group of small snakes actually swept past his body.

The movement of the water was getting weaker and weaker; the small snakes were moving away.

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, there was another stir of water not far away from him.

It was a huge stir but it was not chaotic.

It was a creature approaching, not a group.

And, it was a very huge creature.

Luo Fan could sense it and he gradually became certain of the creature’s size.

It was a large fish that was half a meter long. As to what breed it was, he certainly would not know.

The big fish was swimming rapidly in this direction, as if it was chasing something.

“The escape of those small snakes has something to do with this big fish. It looks like there is also a food chain in this swamp.”

The big fish suddenly passed Luo Fan from his side.

Luo Fan put down the intestines he had lifted and sensed the water behind him with complex feelings.

“That big fish is no pushover either. It’s chasing after such a group of small snakes.”

“But what species were those small snakes? Why were they swimming in a group?”

At this moment, he started to doubt his own judgment. As he could not see, everything depended on his speculation.

Often, such guesses would not be accurate.

“I shall not bother about anything else. It’s fine as long as I do not misjudge the direction of the water flow.”

Luo Fan put away his thoughts and continued on his way.

At this moment, he felt a disturbance in the water behind him again.

It was that big fish. It had returned.

Luo Fan was in a daze. As soon as he turned around, the big fish’s tail struck his eyeball.

It struck the eyeball hard enough to tilt it. Fortunately, the support from the intestines was enough to keep Luo Fan from falling over.

The eyeball had not been harmed because it was protected by the scales.

“So fast!”

He could not help but sigh. Then, he quickly adjusted his body.

Just as he stabilized himself, the big fish swung its tail again.

This time, Luo Fan had some experience. One of his intestines struck swiftly to block the attack, but his body still swayed slightly.

After attacking for a while, the big fish pulled away quickly and left.

Luo Fan began to calm down. Four of his intestines touched the ground, keeping his body upright.

The remaining four intestines and the spiked tails surrounded his body.

Then, he kept still, his body sensing his surroundings and the faint movement of the water.

Suddenly, the big fish attacked again.

This time, Luo Fan had already seen through its modus operandi.

One of the intestines blocked the tail’s attack, and another intestine tried to catch the big fish.

“Failed.”

The big fish was too fast. The moment Luo Fan’s intestines came into slight contact with the big fish’s tail, it quickly pulled away.

However, it was not as if he had not gained anything. This time, he had figured out the size of the big fish.

“It’s about 40 centimeters long and weighs about 3.8 kg.”

It was not as heavy as Luo Fan, but they were in water and it was dark; this was the home ground of the big fish.

Luo Fan quieted down and waited a moment.

The big fish attacked again.

This time, Luo Fan did not extend his intestines to block the attack immediately. Instead, he waited for the big fish to get a little closer before he blocked it.

At this moment, the two intestines, lying in ambush on the other side, attacked simultaneously. One swept toward the big fish’s tail, and the other swept toward its stomach.

The big fish seemed to have sensed the danger. It did not stop after its attack and left quickly.

Luo Fan’s two intestines contracted rapidly.

The one that had curled toward the tail missed, but the intestine that had curled toward the fish’s belly had already tightened when the big fish was leaving, curling up onto the big fish’s tail.

Luo Fan exerted strength and locked the intestine tightly onto the big fish’s tail.

The big fish was struggling with great strength.

Fortunately, Luo Fan’s four intestines were all anchored to the ground, so his body was not dragged away by the big fish.

At this moment, Luo Fan’s other intestines attacked together, restraining the big fish tightly.

The big fish was still struggling violently, and its strength made it difficult for Luo Fan to hold on to it.

“I’ll kill him first, then examine him.”

Luo Fan’s three spiked tails stood up and stabbed at the big fish’s body.

The sharp bone spikes pierced into the big fish’s body easily.

In just an instant, the big fish struggled even more violently because it had felt the pain.

Luo Fan’s few intestines could hardly hold on.

The spiked tails struck again. Luo Fan also did not know where he had pierced, but he went all out to stab at the big fish’s body.

He stabbed it countless times until the big fish stopped moving.

He had stabbed it more than ten times in total, and the big fish’s body was probably already full of holes..
