ultimate host

Chapter 1071 The Underground Lair
In the original work of "Prototype", assimilation has a limitation, that is, it can only absorb dead corpses.

Of course, this "dead" also has limitations, that is, it can only absorb those who have just died.To be more specific, Brother A absorbed it immediately after killing it with his own hands.

Those humans who seemed to be directly absorbed without being killed were actually killed the moment Brother A's tentacles pierced into their bodies.

Now Ai Li also has such restrictions-except forcibly absorbing.

Originally, he thought that if he let Elizabeth go, he would not be able to get the 10 evolution points, and he felt a little regretful.

Unexpectedly, the ass-faced body had such a big body hidden underground, and it was still alive, so Ai Li could take the opportunity to absorb it.

But looking at the huge body, he felt a little worried, which is the same as when a person sees a mountain of food in front of him.

Elizabeth asked Ellie at this time: "Is the energy in your body running out?"

Ai Li glanced at Elizabeth and didn't answer.He was still a little wary of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth understood what Ai Li meant, smiled slightly, and said: "I know even if you don't tell me, because the virus in your body was originally obtained from me. Although you have been absorbing infected organisms during the battle, but in your body The biological energy is still being consumed, and now it is probably less than one-tenth. With such a small amount of energy, even if you reach the underground lair, there is nothing you can do. But as long as you absorb this monster now, your energy will be will recover."

Ai Li frowned slightly, it seemed that Elizabeth knew her very well.

In the past, she could instantly kill herself with one finger, but now, although she has been severely injured, her strength has been greatly reduced.But based on her understanding of herself, it might not be difficult to kill herself.In addition, her self-healing ability is stronger than herself.Who knows that one day she will fully recover, wouldn't she be very dangerous by then?
It's really uneasy to keep her around.

While thinking this way, he stabbed his four black tentacles into the huge worm's body.

This chrysanthemum is so strange, it is so powerful on its huge chrysanthemum.Now that the chrysanthemum is dead, leaving this worm behind, there is no threat.

When Aili's four tentacles pricked its body, it only trembled slightly, without even struggling.

gurgling - gurgling - gurgling -

Ai Li is constantly absorbing the energy in its body, but how long will it take to absorb such a big piece of fat?
Ai Li had a hard time absorbing it, and even had some gasps.

Seeing Elizabeth, she stretched out her hand to caress one of Ai Li's tentacles, and a surge of energy flowed into Ai Li's body along the black tentacles.

The next moment, four black tentacles grew out of Ai Li's body.

It seems that the number of tentacles has doubled, but the absorption efficiency is more than ten times stronger than before.

gurgling gurgling——

Absorption is much faster.

Originally, after Aili absorbed it for a minute, the body of the giant worm hardly changed at all, but at this time, you can see that the body of the giant worm is slowly drying up.

gurgling gurgling——

The absorption continued, and Ai Li could feel that the biological energy in his body was being replenished.

Previously, absorbing these monsters in the game only resulted in evolution points.Although biological energy can be supplemented a little, it is far from enough.

But this time, Ellie could clearly feel that the biological energy in his body was being replenished, and it far exceeded his previous energy.

This huge worm, he absorbed it for a full 10 minutes before completely absorbing it.

When Aili's eight black tentacles retracted into his body, he couldn't help but let out a loud burp.He felt like his body was almost bursting with so much energy.He had to find something to do as soon as possible and use fighting to digest the energy.

At the same time, a systematic notification sounded in his mind: "Absorb Elizabeth's worm body, gain 80000 evolution points, and a total evolution point of 380873."

Although it is 10000 evolution points less than simply absorbing Elizabeth, with the help of Elizabeth, Ai Li gained four more black tentacles, and the energy left in his body was increased by less than one-tenth. Allowing him to display his full combat effectiveness when facing the creatures in the underground lair next.Much more is gained than lost.

He is also satisfied.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Ai Li only felt that the huge energy was constantly impacting in his body, his body was almost out of control, and it was constantly expanding.

He knew that this was because too much energy was absorbed and his body had to expand to relieve the pressure.

But this expansion also has a limit. If it reaches a certain limit, it will only explode and die.

Ai Li tried to check the state of his body, and saw that the vortex of dark source force was spinning rapidly, transforming energy into dark source force.The body is also constantly expanding, and the height has reached more than three meters.

But these are only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge energy in the body.

Ai Li regretted a little. He really shouldn't have absorbed that huge worm just now.But with four more tentacles, they were absorbed too quickly and he couldn't control them at all.

This Elizabeth really wants to kill herself.

Ellie glanced at Elizabeth next to her.I saw that Elizabeth didn't have a look of complacency, but looked at him with some worry, and asked, "How are you? Is it okay?"

"I'm about to die, are you satisfied?"

Elizabeth shook her head and said, "You won't die. The cells in your body have been modified by viruses, and their potential is far greater than your imagination."

Ai Li glared at Elizabeth and scolded: "Nonsense, talking while standing up won't hurt your back."

Now he only felt that his body was extremely swollen, the pain made his eyes stare, and he felt that his eyeballs could pop out at any time.Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.The pain made his clothes soaked in sweat instantly.

Nima, it's Elizabeth who is doing things.

Ai Li seriously suspected that Elizabeth took the opportunity to retaliate and wanted to kill herself.

At this time, the voice of the system came: "It is detected that there is a huge amount of energy in the body, and the host can use this energy to upgrade. Do you want to upgrade immediately?"

"Ah?"

After hearing these words, Ai Li seemed to have forgotten the pain in an instant, and was very confused: "In the past, you could be promoted when you absorbed powerful enemies in reality. Even if you absorb them in the game, they can only be converted into evolution points. At most, Later, you can use these evolution points to strengthen your body to upgrade. But as the level gets higher and higher, these evolution points are often not enough for upgrades. How come you can directly absorb upgrades in the game this time?"

The system replied: "Because the energy of Elizabeth's worm body is too strong, Elizabeth used the worm body to restore blood volume before. It is already strong enough to directly promote the host."

Hearing this, Ai Li nodded and said, "No problem, let's upgrade."

To be promoted to A-level killer, it's a little exciting to think about it.

"The upgrade takes 30 minutes. After the upgrade starts, the host will temporarily lose all the abilities of the infected. Are you sure you want to upgrade?"

He looked at Elizabeth next to him, still a little uneasy. Losing those abilities within 30 minutes was enough for Elizabeth to do anything to herself.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for now, wait until I get back to a safe place and then upgrade."

The system replied: "You don't have time to return to a safe place. You have 20 seconds at most, and your body will explode."

"Depend on!"

Ai Li cursed and gritted his teeth: "Upgrade!"

Anyway, the big deal is one death, and death in the game is just a month of weakness in reality.

“升级开始，倒计时29分59秒……29分58秒……29分57秒……”

The moment Aili spoke about the upgrade, the system's countdown had already begun.

Elizabeth next to him was watching and didn't urge Ellie.

Ai Li said to Elizabeth: "Let's wait first, I want to rest first, and go down after half an hour."

Elizabeth didn't object either.

At the beginning of the upgrade, Ai Li didn't feel any changes, but the feeling that his body was about to explode was not so strong.

After 10 minutes, that feeling had completely disappeared, and so had the pain in my body.

Another 5 minutes later, Ai Li felt that his upgrade had reached a critical point.

Only the last 5 minutes are missing, and the last 5 minutes are the hardest.For ordinary cultivators, the last period of breakthrough is the most dangerous.

But for Ailey who owns the system, there is no such worry at all.

As long as these 5 minutes are completed, he will be able to break through.

However, in the last 5 minutes, a black shadow suddenly came in from the hole in the ground.In a blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of Ai.

That black image is a human being, but it has no facial features.The whole body seems to be formed by a mass of black crushing.

As soon as he appeared, he attacked Ai Li directly.

Ai Liming knew that the black shadow was going to attack him, but this was the critical moment of upgrading. Not only the biological energy could not be used, but also the dark source power and ice attribute energy could not be used.At this time, he was completely an ordinary person.He could only watch the black shadow coming towards him.

However, at this moment, Elizabeth suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked him.

bang——

The black shadow hit Elizabeth directly, and knocked Elizabeth flying upside down, just hitting Ai Li's chest, and both of them fell to the ground.

There was a smile on the black figure's facial features-less face, which looked very strange.

With a flash of his body, he had already disappeared, and when he appeared next time, he was already behind Ai Li.Something that looked like a hand was not a hand, something that looked like a claw but not a claw protruded from his body, and stabbed directly at the back of Ai Li's head.

Ellie was powerless to dodge, and Elizabeth grabbed the claw, but after the claw was caught, it turned into a ball of black mucus in an instant, covering Elizabeth's body.

Elizabeth was severely injured before, so she was no match for this slime at all.
