Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 12
Advertisement
Alex nimbly dodged the python's attack, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At that moment, the nine-headed Hydra king's tail moved continuously. Then, with the origin as the center, the snake tails were like whips, smashing onto the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang
After half a minute, rivers of blood filled the palace. Alex was safe, appearing relatively relaxed and casual.
However, the small snakes lying on the ground were smashed into minced meat by the many snaketail strikes. They did not even have the time to react.
They went straight to heaven.
Within the palace, the originally tens of thousands of snakes had died in an instant. The remaining small snakes hid by the wall obediently. Their bodies trembled, fear filled their eyes.
A strong aura was in the air.
The Hydra king's anger reached its peak on seeing this scene. It no longer cared about Alex's electric shield. Instead, it wanted to tear this humble little scorpion into pieces.
At this moment, when the nine-headed Hydra King paused, Alex suddenly jumped forward. Its sharp claws stabbed into its body like a blade and hooked it tightly.
Then, like climbing a tree, Alex followed its body and moved toward its three heads.
He was like a ruthless bulldozer.
The python rolled its body and swung its tail, but Alex seemed to have taken root and moved forward slowly.
The walls, ground, and pillars were shattered by the giant python, sending up smoke and dust.
The small snakes all hid in fear, afraid of being crushed to death.
At this moment, Alex was getting closer and closer to the snake's head.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Three meters.
...
He had already prepared his stinger, revealing the sharp tip of a needle.
The nine-headed hydra king seemed to have foreseen the danger. Its three snakeheads shook crazily, and at this time, it crazily rushed out of the palace.

It crawled into the pitch-black cave at a fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at a green world. Vines filled this place that coiled around the stone pillars on the mountain walls. There were also red demonic flowers blooming around it. There were only a few scattered flowers, but it was an extraordinary scene.
It seemed to be a mysterious underground world.
Alex was not in a hurry to make a move. Above the green vines, there were strange insects that seemed to be fireflies. The python's body crawled quickly on the vines.
At this moment, a touch of scarlet suddenly appeared in front of them.
As time passed, the whole world turned red. It was like the sunset in the evening sky, charming and strange.
What was this place?
Such a place was hidden under the palace!
'Forget about it for now. Let's deal with this big fellow first.'
Alex crawled a few steps ahead and stabbed his tail into one of the heads.
There was no obstruction. It was as if Alex had pierced through a layer of window paper, and poison shot in.
The python screamed in pain. Its speed became slower and slower. It struggled to crawl forward for about a minute, but there was no movement after that.
At this time, Alex scanned his surroundings.
The surroundings were filled with demonic flowers that were as red as blood. The pistils inside were yellow and purple, and there were a few scattered patterns on both sides. It looked like a butterfly flapping its wings, and there were also a few things that looked like whiskers on the outermost layer.
These glowing insects stood on the pistils for a moment before flying towards the distant light.
There was also a faint cold wind blowing over. The cave here was not sealed but connected to the outside world.

"Could it be?"
He suddenly thought of something.
Looking at the charming flowers around him, these might have been the main culprits that caused the mutation of the biological genes.
These flower stamens were brought to the outside world by these insects, and they were porters. But, unfortunately, the creatures outside devoured these flower stamens and then mutated.
With this thought, it explained everything.
"System, scan the origin of these flowers!"
"Yes, Host. Scanning... collecting information... information collection successful!"
In front of him, a light screen appeared, and the information about these flowers was written on it.
Species description:
Name: Manduca Flower
Class: monocotyledonous plant class
Class: Asparagus
Family: Stone Gate
"Are these flowers the cause of biological mutation?" Alex asked calmly.
"Yes, Host. There is a strange element in these flowers that can accelerate the organism's rapid cell division and growth. The theory is that it can make the organism bigger and stronger," the system said.
Alex asked, "That is to say, the toads and pythons outside ate this kind of pistil, which is why they had a genetic mutation."
"Yes, Host!" The system replied.
"I heard Johnson say that the ancient Coiling Snake Pagoda has the secret of immortality. So maybe the pagoda is just a fake, and the real things that can live forever are the flowers under the palace? System, can it make people live forever?" Alex was a little excited.
After all, immortality had a well-known lethal attraction to any species.
Who wouldn't want to live forever, enjoy the scenery, and enjoy the world?
Although he was just a scorpion now, he yearned for the bigger world.
"In theory, it is possible. This flower can promote cell division and rapid growth, and it can achieve the effect of longevity. As long as the new cells in the body are faster than the dead cells, it is still possible."
The system gave him a simple understanding.
Alex listened carefully. He knew all this. After all, in his previous life, biology was still relatively strong.
But why was it in theory? The newborn cells were faster than the dead cells. So wasn't it already in an invincible position?
As long as they were not killed or had an accident, couldn't they live forever?
The system said, "The theory I'm talking about is based on current technology. With the current technology, if humans consume it, some people might become stronger and stronger, but some people might evolve in the wrong direction."
"Because the strength of the human body is fixed, there is no advanced technology at the moment. Therefore, if humans consume these flowers, there will be a lot of uncertainty. No one can say for sure whether the result will be good or bad."
Just with a little bit of info, Alex understood.
Because of long-term evolution, the human gene chain had become stable and would not change much. The genetic information of the gene chain determined the appearance, ability, and fundamental strength of the human body.
Once an external power entered, it was beyond the limits of the human body. Without controls, if the cells quickly split out to form tissue, your body could grow ten hands and two heads, five arms; these were all uncontrollable.
However, the next question came.
Why didn't the toads and pythons show any strange changes? Other than the nine-headed hydra king, the other creatures didn't grow two heads and ten legs?
The system replied, "I suspect that an advanced civilization is controlling all of this."
"Advanced civilization?" Alex's eyes widened. "You're talking about extraterrestrial intelligence?"
