At this moment, it had already entered battle mode, and its entire body had transformed into an extremely ferocious shape. The wings of an archaic goumang, the body of a red-scaled snake, the steel claws of the eight-armed Mountain King, the Stinger of the venomous Bee queen, and a terrifying head that was fully armed to the teeth fused with the characteristics of countless powerful spirit beasts. This was an out-and-out killing weapon of the human world.
Lin Yi frowned at this guy. The brain-eating insect was on the same level as the Lotus Protector, but if he had a choice, he'd choose the Lotus Protector 100% of the time. Even if he couldn't put it in the Jade space, Lin Yi would rather choose the Lotus Protector.
The water lotus Protector was a technique-even complex moves like the catoptric deflection were easy for Lin Yi to spot, but the brain-eating insect was different. It was clear that it relied on its body for a living, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that its body was the strongest among its level.
If it was only at the Foundation Stage, Lin Yi's methods would be enough to crush it, but the problem was that it was at least at the Golden core stage. It had an absolute level advantage over Lin Yi, and in this situation, it had the most tenacious life force and the strongest defense-there was no way it could be defeated.
Last time, Lin Yi used two energy bombs on it, and it didn't even hurt a hair. That explained everything.
With Lin Yi's current attack power, he couldn't even break through the brain-eating insect's defense. How was he supposed to fight it?
Seeing Lin Yi's expression change, the brain-eating insect suddenly laughed. It was interested in Duanmu Yu's fallen leaves in autumn, but it was obvious that it valued Lin Yi more. Its focus had always been on Lin Yi,"This time, don't even think about escaping from me. I will never make the same mistake twice."
"Oh, really? Are you sure you can catch up to my speed?" Lin Yi was a little interested. He didn't have much confidence in other aspects, but he had absolute confidence in his speed. After all, the brain-eating insect was even faster than his original body. No matter how strong it was, it couldn't be stronger than a xuansheng stage master, right?
"No need. As long as I catch this woman, I don't think you'll run away." The brain-eating insect learned its lesson this time and was obviously a lot more cunning. If it had taken Leng Leng and the others as hostages last time, Lin Yi wouldn't have dared to escape at all. It was only because it was too arrogant that Lin Yi got the chance.
"Hehe, you're just an insect. I didn't expect you to be so accurate in judging people." Lin Yi couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, we don't look at people with our eyes, but with our noses. Every one of you has a different smell. Different people have different smells. You can pretend to be human, but you can't pretend to be the smell in your bones." The brain-eating insect said proudly.
"Oh, really? That's a good lesson. " Lin Yi nodded. He was really controlled by the brain-eating insect this time. If he didn't have much contact with Duanmu Yu before, it wouldn't matter much. He could just turn a blind eye to it, but now he couldn't just ignore it. If Duanmu Yu couldn't leave, he would have to stay and deal with it.
"You're welcome. Otherwise, you'd have to be more tactful. Don't worry, it's rare to meet such a unique human expert like you. I won't let you disappear for no reason. I'll take you as my main body. From now on, you are me, I am you, we are one!" The brain-eating insect said excitedly.
"You and I are one?" Lin Yi thought it was weird-it wasn't even certain who'd be the one devouring who if that really happened! Even if the brain-eating insects had a strong talent of eating brains, his primordial spirit level was not just for show. It would be hard to say when the time came.
"How is it? If you cooperate, I can save you a lot of unnecessary pain!" The brain-eating insect was still trying to convince Lin Yi. It wasn't wasting its breath, but it was afraid that Lin Yi's brain might be damaged if they started fighting. This kind of thing happened all the time, and once Lin Yi's brain was damaged, it wouldn't be able to eat it anymore.
"You don't really think I'm out of my mind, do you?" Lin Yi looked at it like it was an idiot-it really did think of that!
"Not satisfied? Then I'll take a step back and leave you with a little bit of consciousness to share the main body with me. That should be fine, right?" The brain-eating insect continued to haggle. It was obvious that it was determined to get Lin Yi's body. If it wasn't afraid of hurting Lin Yi, it would've already clawed at him with its usual brutal personality.
"Let me ask you a question. Since your current physical body is so impressive, at least a thousand times stronger than my physical body, why do you still want me to be your main body?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously. From his point of view, this opponent's posture was much tougher than a human 's. His entire body was full of killing weapons, and he would definitely be at an advantage in a fight. If possible, he didn't even mind switching places with this opponent. Of course, his original form had to be a human. He couldn't accept if his original form was a bug.
"Hehe, there's no harm in telling you. Although you humans have weak bodies, you're still the spirit of all living things. No matter how strong other species are, they're still limited by their racial talents. There's only one possibility, but you humans may have a low starting point, but you have countless possibilities. In addition, a spirit beast of a higher rank will need a human body to be able to stand on the stage. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by the other spirit beasts. " The brain-eating insect explained patiently.
"I see." Lin Yi said, enlightened.
It was no wonder that this guy was so determined to catch him. It seemed that although this guy's brain-eating talent was heaven-defying, there was a limit to it. Perhaps there was a limit to the species it could eat, and most spirit beasts only had one racial talent. Those who had more than two were extremely rare. In this case, every time it ate, it would only gain one more skill.
However, humans were different. There were more than tens of millions of martial arts techniques. With the ability of brain-eating insects, they could even take all the martial arts techniques for themselves. Moreover, they didn't need to cultivate from the beginning. They could directly devour them and make them ready-made. Just thinking about it made people shudder.
With that thought, it made sense why the brain-eating insect was so desperate to catch Lin Yi. Even if it could take over someone's arts and techniques, it needed a talented host to use them. Otherwise, it would be useless if the host wasn't talented enough.
