With a thought from Luo Kai, a mass of water gathered in his palm out of thin air and wrapped the poisonous insect. The water ball crystallized at a speed visible to the naked eye and froze into an ice ball.
A 'Bin looked at this scene in astonishment. He could also gather water, but he couldn't turn it into ice. What was the principle behind this?
Luo Kai turned his head and looked at him. A fierce look flashed through his eyes. This person's talent was amazing. He was not inferior to those genius students he met in Shang Jing. Unfortunately, his temperament was not good and he had already embarked on the evil path … But how could it be so easy to distinguish between good and evil? Maybe he would become the pillar of the human race one day. In the end, he still said, "You have to learn to control power, not be controlled by power." After saying this, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the night sky.
A 'Bin didn't know that he had just been on the verge of death. Looking at the person in the sky flying away, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. Who was this person? Was he the legendary Saint?
… …
Luo Kai returned to the Tuoba family. He went directly to the inner circle to find Yun Wei and handed the poisonous insect to him.
"Sir, once this poisonous insect breaks out on a large scale, I'm afraid the entire Cangnan Prefecture will collapse. You have a deep understanding of medicine, do you have a way to deal with it?"
Yun Wei took the insect and looked at it carefully. He shook his head and said, "Generally, mosquito-type creatures won't evolve to have a toxicity that can kill people instantly. This kind of poisonous insect doesn't seem to be naturally produced. It should be genetically modified. I need to contact the Life Science Research Institute in Shang Jing to find a solution."
"So it's man-made?"
"It's hard to say. The evolution of creatures is unpredictable. It could also be a mutation of some kind of mosquito."
Doctors were very familiar with pathology and toxicity. Yun Wei pondered for a moment and then said, "You don't have to worry too much. No matter what kind of creature it is, it has to follow the law of conservation of energy. Genetic modification can only increase the compatibility.
This kind of poisonous insect's toxin is so strong that it must consume a large amount of something in order to consolidate the toxicity. Otherwise, the toxicity will be greatly reduced. The toxin can harm others as well as oneself. If a low-level lifeform like a mosquito possesses a high degree of toxicity, then it won't be able to live for long. It's estimated that it only has a lifespan of a few hours. I'll have Prince Jingnan prepare some protective clothing in a moment. "
Luo Kai nodded. What Yun Wei said was right. Everything needed a process of increasing from small to large. Only when the energy was gathered together would there be a qualitative change. For example, highly toxic creatures also needed to feed on other poisonous creatures. Mosquitoes generally liked to live in stinking gutters, swamps, and other places filled with evil energy. Animals that fed on mosquitoes would absorb the toxins, and the food chain would be extended from there. Gradually, a qualitative change would occur, and the species known as poisonous creatures were born. Mosquitoes were at the bottom of the poisonous creature chain, and it was very difficult for them to produce particularly great destructive power.
He bid farewell to Yun Wei and returned to the small courtyard. There, he saw a huge creature squatting in the small courtyard. It was a human bear. This fellow had finally woken up.
When the human bear saw him, it habitually stuck out its tongue, wagged its short tail, and greeted him. Its mouth let out a flattering whimper.
Luo Kai curiously walked forward. The human bear had succeeded in its evolution. Its originally ugly ape face had become soft, and it was not as bloated and bulky as before. It had become a lot more "slim". If it were not for the thick fur and huge body, it would really be similar to a fat human woman.
When Luo Kai was observing it, the human bear was also observing him. After waking up, there were many strange images in its mind. They were very vague, and they were gradually fading away, making it feel lost. In its heart, it faintly felt that these images were very important. Once it completely forgot, it would lose something very important, and the images in its mind were all in human form.
"You've become better looking!"
Luo Kai smiled and touched its big head. Suddenly, he found that something was wrong. When he touched it, it was not the texture of fur, but more like cool grass. When he looked carefully, he found that the human bear's skin was faintly green. Under the fur, there should have been fine hair, but now it was densely covered with moss-like things, lush and full of the green of plants.
After pondering for a moment, he grabbed the human bear's palm and cut it with his fingernail. Along with the human bear's whimper, light green blood flowed out, and then the wound quickly shrank and healed, leaving no trace behind.
His eyes burst out a little bit of starlight, and he observed the human bear's blood on a microscopic level. The cells in the deepest layer of the blood had all turned green. The red blood cells that originally belonged to flesh and blood creatures seemed to have turned into a kind of plant cells. This guy actually had the rare wood element!
Among the Five Elemental Energy, the Wood Elemental Energy belonged to the Life Elemental Energy. If one were to receive the Wood Elemental Energy, they would become a combination of plants and animals. They would have strong healing abilities and could perform photosynthesis, absorbing energy directly from the Heaven and Earth. Strictly speaking, he used to be one as well. However, only his liver was deeply integrated with Violet Orchid.
The world was big and full of strange things, and the direction of evolution of life was unpredictable. The combination of plants and animals may be the most perfect creatures. They could naturally absorb light energy and the energy of the earth, and would not easily fall into the situation of extinction because of the disruption of the food chain. Their ability to resist natural disasters and climate change was also much stronger.
Luo Kai reached out and patted its big head, then turned around and went back into the house. The brown bear instinctively followed him and threw the things in its mind to the back of its mind. Its big mouth kept growling, vaguely expressing that it was hungry.
"Not today, wait for tomorrow."
The human bear complained, then curled up on the bed and started to grunt.
Thirteen also came over and sat beside it.
Everything seemed to be the same as before.
The next day, as soon as Luo Kai got up, the human bear immediately became energetic. It whimpered and rubbed against him, then followed him all the way to the door.
Luo Kai waved his hand to drive it away. "Don't follow me, wait for me to come back and get you something to eat."
The human bear understood, and instantly became listless. Soon, it regained its spirit and wandered around the small yard. First, it walked around each room, as if it was patrolling its own territory. Then, it walked to the mirror in the bedroom and curiously looked at itself in the mirror.
A few days later, Luo Kai gradually found that the human bear was different. It was now much more curious than before, and it was not obsessed with food. Instead, it was very interested in everything. First, it was clothes. Luo Kai and Thirteen both wore simple fur clothes, so it secretly put them on. Because it was too big, it could not wear them, so it whimpered angrily.
It always observed Luo Kai's every move. When Luo Kai meditated, it also tried to sit cross-legged. When Luo Kai ate, it also learned to use chopsticks, knives, and other tableware. However, it could not control its strength and would always break the knife and fork.
It also realized that it was different from others. Except for Luo Kai and Thirteen, it was very vigilant towards others. Whenever outsiders came, it would stay far away and secretly observe. The only thing that did not change was that it was still lazy, sleeping under the sun all day long.
Maybe because the wood energy was relatively peaceful, the human bear did not show any uncontrollable bestiality. Luo Kai also gave up the idea of sending it back to the wild. Humans were emotional creatures, and during this period of time, they had unknowingly developed feelings for each other.
When a person entered a kind of cultivation life alone, their state of mind might not be affected by the mortal world, but they would also lose their humanity bit by bit. Now that they were back in human society, Luo Kai's faded emotional memories gradually returned.
