205: Human-faced centipede

“This name is concise and highlights Ugly Bear's aesthetic features. It's truly brilliant!”

Su Yuan nodded, “As intelligent as I am, I am precisely this intelligent!”

“You are to immediately vanish from my sight. From now on, your main task is to scare people in these mountains. Try to appear at the edges of the mountain range. Just scare people, don't kill anyone,” Su Yuan instructed.

The reason for not allowing killing was not only for sustainable development but also for Ugly Bear's life.

Currently, the situation across the country, without a doubt, is very grim. The impact of the spiritual energy resurgence is holistic.

Many of the nation's forces are now being used to suppress the disasters caused by Mutated Creatures in various places.

Compared to those arrogant Mutated Creatures that frequently slaughter towns and attack cities, Mutated Creatures that only scare people and do not harm them, as long as their strength is not exceptionally outstanding, will certainly have a lower priority for elimination.

However, if you seek death yourself, no one can save you.

After sending Ugly Bear away, Su Yuan maintained low-altitude flight at a hundred meters, continuing to search for Mutated Creatures of decent strength.

Soon, Su Yuan discovered another giant beast.

This giant beast was over twenty meters long, completely hairless, covered in hard, thick scales, like a suit of alloy armor. It had a cold metallic luster, as if cast from alloy.

Especially its claws, which gleamed with a cold light. Their sharpness seemed capable of cleaving anything, and their length was astonishing, nearly two meters long, like giant swords!

Its body was like a combination of the strongest shield and the strongest blade. Su Yuan estimated that most Mutated Creatures of similar size would flee in a headache upon seeing it.

At this moment, the giant beast was resting, and no Mutated Creature dared to approach it.

“A pangolin, huh? It's said that this creature is also very skilled at digging tunnels.”

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Su Yuan's eyes. The main purpose of this outing was to subdue a creature skilled at digging to attack the Mysterious Organization Linjiang Branch.

He had just come out and already found a digging Mutated Creature!

The giant pangolin was still in its sleep when it was suddenly engulfed by a strange power, completely sinking into oblivion.

Soon, the giant pangolin's body became pitch black. Its scales seemed to become even thicker and harder. At the same time, sharp teeth grew inside its mouth, and its slender tongue twisted and continued to grow, becoming astonishingly long, oozing viscous mucus. The tip suddenly opened like a flower, revealing dense, sharp teeth—it was actually a small mouth.

Su Yuan nodded, “This appearance is at least much better than Ugly Bear's.”

“Congratulations, Host, you have acquired a new Evil Human Kin. Please name the Evil Human Kin's species.” The System's prompt sounded.

“Its original name was pangolin, and my expectation for it is also to dig, so let's call it the Burrowing Beast,” Su Yuan thought for a moment and said.

“Congratulations, Host, you have acquired a new Evil Human Kin, the Burrowing Beast!”

“Indeed, it's good to go out more often. If I didn't come out, I wouldn't have known there was a digging Mutated Creature so close by.”

The Burrowing Beast woke up and prostrated itself before Su Yuan, its face filled with fanaticism and madness, ready to offer everything for the great existence.

“You should hide well and not make any noise to attract human attention,” Su Yuan instructed.

Although he had subdued the Burrowing Beast, a digging Mutated Creature, he still planned to find the Giant Insect, because the current number and strength of his Evil Human Kin were not enough to destroy the Mysterious Organization Branch. Even if he intended to let humans take action, he still needed to prepare forces to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Su Yuan himself would not appear at the scene, lest the Mysterious Organization possess a doomsday weapon that could take him down with them. With his current strength, if he were caught in such a weapon, he would undoubtedly die.

Su Yuan continued to stand in the air, overseeing the Dalin Mountains from above, searching for powerful Mutated Creatures.

Soon, Su Yuan made another discovery.

He found a Centipede, astonishingly long, reaching thirty meters!

One must know that ordinary Centipedes are measured in centimeters.

For this one to grow so large, the degree of its mutation is imaginable.

It was entirely crimson, like a fiery flame. Its carapace faintly glowed with a reddish aura under the moonlight, exuding a sense of indestructible hardness. It was coiled around a giant ox, gnawing on it.

Night was when Centipedes were active; during the day, they hid and slept, which was why Su Yuan discovered it.

Centipedes are inherently frightening; some women are terrified to the point of trembling upon seeing one.

Now, this thirty-meter-long Centipede, doing nothing, could probably scare some people unconscious.

“Excellent, the uglier you are, the happier I am.”

Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction, his giant eyes glowing with a faint light. The terrifying strange power swept over, engulfing the crimson Centipede!

“Crack!”

Under the moonlight, there was a long silence.

Suddenly, the crimson Centipede's carapace emitted a cracking sound. The solid carapace actually developed cracks, and then it began to split open, piece by piece!

The shattered carapace fell off in chunks, revealing the form within.

This was shedding the old body, completely transforming, gaining new life!

“Holy crap, it's even uglier!”

Su Yuan showed a look of surprise.

Beneath the cracked carapace, a dark red creature appeared. Its original legs were gone, replaced by twisted and eerie tentacles.

Each segment of its carapace had strange patterns emerging, like distorted and unsettling human faces staring at you.

What was most terrifying was its head. Its face was very similar to a human face, only much larger, secreting viscous mucus that dripped onto the ground, causing black smoke to rise.

“Very good, congratulations, you have won the title of the ugliest Evil Human Kin!”

Su Yuan didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was happy that he now had another general for farming evolution points.

He was sad that the System might have misunderstood his appearance.

“Congratulations, Host, you have acquired a new Evil Human Kin. Please name the Evil Human Kin's species!” The System's prompt sounded.

“For the species name, Human-Faced Centipede will do. Its human-like face is also its most prominent feature,” Su Yuan said.

“Congratulations, Host, you have acquired a new Evil Human Kin, the Human-Faced Centipede!”

After its transformation, the Human-Faced Centipede abandoned the giant ox it had painstakingly hunted, crawled to Su Yuan's feet, and prostrated itself before him, fanatical and loyal.

“Hmm, your task is to be low-key. Besides that, you are to scare humans and other creatures. Hmm, mainly humans, but you must not harm anyone,” Su Yuan said. Fearing that the insect's intelligence was limited, he even flew it to the foot of the mountain, instructing it to operate there daily and to chase and scare humans it encountered, but not to leave the mountain forest.

This was the red line Su Yuan drew. With such a large size, leaving the mountain forest would make it too conspicuous and easily invite disaster.

Watching the Human-Faced Centipede depart, Su Yuan soared into the air, continuing to search for powerful Mutated Creatures at low altitude.

“Oh!”

More than half an hour later, Su Yuan thought he had no more gains and was about to leave when he saw a giant deer.

Its body was over twenty meters long, and its pair of antlers also reached over twenty meters in length. It was quietly eating leaves.

“Such a large size, and it's still an herbivore?”

This was what surprised Su Yuan. For an herbivore to grow so large, its talent must be quite remarkable!

Carnivores, after all, hunt and devour other Mutated Creatures, having more energy sources, so it's understandable for them to evolve faster.

To evolve so quickly solely relying on plants and spiritual energy, its talent is truly astonishing.

“Worship me! Believe in me!”

Su Yuan's eyes glowed with a faint light. The moment the terrifying strange power erupted, this mountain forest fell silent.

The giant deer, which was eating leaves, immediately froze, and then its body began to twist.

Its entire coat of fur fell off, strand by strand, revealing the reddish skin underneath.

One could see black scales growing, accompanied by mucus and a foul odor.

At the same time, around its neck, a circle of fur did not fall off but continued to grow and twist, forming long tentacles, each over twenty meters long!

Its huge antlers also changed shape, no longer so wide, but gathered together, pointing sharply forward. Their appearance was full of aggression, like two giant weapons, incredibly sharp.

Its eyes were blood-red, glowing with a bloody light. Its mouth became wider, dripping viscous mucus, and inside, one could see sharp and eerie teeth.
