Since mastering the ability of "synthesis", Hikari's appetite has increased greatly, and she has directly swept through a large number of edible creatures in the maze.

As a result, the underground maze was littered with corpses, no, it should be said that there were no bones left. After all, the bones of these creatures were very precious, and she also expanded the new space. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, she packed them up one by one and took them away. So now Hikari is completely an example of eating meat without spitting out bones.

"It's been a while since I traveled through time, and I'm curious why my appetite is so big?" Hikari, who had just had a big meal, didn't feel full at all at this moment, and there were basically very few edible creatures left in this level of the maze.

Therefore, Hikari was very curious about why she felt hungry so often, but soon, the intelligent personality gave her an answer.

"Notice: The host's body is currently in the growth stage and needs to replenish a large amount of energy to complete the next stage of transformation."

"Does this mean that my body can still evolve?"

"Reply: That's right, the host's current energy requirement has been stuck at 99.99%, and it has never been able to reach the 100% condition required for evolution. No matter how much energy is replenished, it will only be infinitely close to the critical value. Coupled with the biological consumption itself, the host needs to replenish energy frequently."

"I see...By the way, do you know what species my current body belongs to?" asked Hikari.

"Notice: After testing, the host's body is a female juvenile from the insect family, subclass Pterygota, order Lepidoptera."

"So, I might be an orc like a butterfly or a moth?"

"Notice: The host's body is a complex higher life form. It has all the characteristics of the main class, that is, Lepidoptera; and has absorbed some of the excellent characteristics of the same class, that is, other winged subclass species. If the metamorphosis is completed, the host can evolve into a fairy species, a perfect body."

"It sounds like the structure of this body is quite complicated. So how can I break through the threshold and complete the evolution?"

"Notice: Due to too many unknown parameters, it is still being analyzed..."

"It seems that the final problem lies with this body. If I want to get out, I have to solve this problem." Hikari was afraid that after she got out, she would become a monster that only knew how to eat, and then be caught and studied.

The most urgent task is to find a way to improve her own strength. After all, as someone who has experienced the end of the world, Hikari knows that only if her fists are strong enough can she survive in any environment. No matter in which world, strength is always a necessary condition for survival and voice.

"Goo~"

As soon as I got motivated, my stomach started to strike. It seems that I have to fill my stomach first before improving my strength.

"Notice: All edible creatures in this area have been killed by the host. Excuse me, do you want to go to the next area?"

Only one month after arriving here, the creatures in the first area have been eaten to the point of extinction. Hikari couldn't help but touch her fat belly and sigh at her astonishing appetite.

"Okay! Since we can't leave here anytime soon, we might as well explore deeper. Maybe we can find a solution to my bulimia!"

Of course, the most important thing is to solve the food problem first.

Before heading to the lower area, Hikari, who was worried that she would faint from hunger halfway, finally made up her mind. She took out a tube of nutrient solution from the storage space, pinched her nose, and drank it in one gulp, not daring to let it stay on her tongue for even a second.

But Hikari still underestimated how disgusting this thing was. Although the feeling of hunger disappeared, Hikari felt that her tongue was severely damaged and her whole stomach began to churn.

"Ugh!" Hikari dry-heaved, but couldn't spit it out. The taste lingered in her mouth and esophagus.

Hikari swore that the next time she caught prey, she would use all kinds of cooking methods to treat it well, so that the "ingredients" would be valuable and she could make up for her tongue and stomach.

After the intelligent personality analyzes the route to the next area, the structural information of the entire maze is directly transmitted to Hikari's brain. Just like the map system in the game, Hikari's movements in the entire maze are completely unimpeded.

Of course, the monsters in the next level area are obviously much stronger than those in the previous level. Even if they are monsters of the same type, Hikari can clearly feel their difference.

It was at this time that Hikari saw other creatures hunting.

There were three spiders as big as adults. Their prey were a group of silkworm-like creatures with round heads that looked more than one meter in diameter, and each insect was more than six meters long. They were fleshy but as smooth as white jade. Their skin was crystal clear and had colorful halos flowing around it. They looked quite cute after looking at them for a long time.

"I just don't know if it tastes good." Hikari swallowed.

"Notice: Crystal silkworms are a highly endangered species in the universe. Although their meat is sweet and delicious, it is not recommended to hunt them."

"But even if I don't eat them, those three big spiders will eat them! Instead of that, let me..." Hikari had no idea about the endangered species in this world. After all, they were not protected animals in the original world. In addition, when she was in the end of the world, she had tried almost everything except human flesh or the flesh of unknown creatures, but they were all reasonable killings based on survival, so this time...

"Report: Burrow spiders are edible. They taste like crabs, have tender and sweet meat, and contain nutrients similar to crab roe and crab paste."

"Then let's eat crabs first. Oh no, it's those spiders! Spider legs should be similar to crab legs, and they are so thick, there should be a lot of meat!" After listening to the description of the intelligent personality, Hikari couldn't help but want to eat all these insects in one pot.

"Alert: A female crystal moth in the metamorphosis stage has been detected among the crystal silkworm swarm."

Hikari looked towards the center of the group of crystal silkworms, who seemed to be protecting something. Looking ahead, she saw an oval egg emitting a bright white light. Hikari guessed that it should be the "cocoon" of the crystal silkworm transforming into a crystal moth.

"Notice: Host, please protect the crystal moth's cocoon immediately."

"Why?" Hikari asked puzzled.

"Report: Crystal moths and their host's body are of the same biological structure. By recording and observing the transformation of crystal moths, we can improve the data on the host's evolution."

"I see." Hikari almost forgot that her body and those silkworms were of the same subject. It seemed that she had accidentally found a way to evolve herself.

"Then I have no choice but to help!" After saying that, Hikari directly joined the siege. However, she was no longer the oriole behind the mantis, but the cicada that fought back against the mantis.

Due to Hikari's sudden intervention, the three spiders were temporarily thrown into disarray.

The original triangular trap surrounded the crystal silkworms. Because they had to consider the cocoon, the crystal silkworms could only gather together and use their bodies to block the three predators.

Originally the three spiders were confident of victory, but unexpectedly Hikari showed up and chopped off the head of one of the spiders with a sword. The spider didn't have time to react before its head and body were separated.

Seeing this, the other two spiders also became alert and jumped onto the surrounding rock walls, fixing their entire bodies on them. It seemed that they did not intend to engage in a head-on battle with Hikari before they had a clear understanding of the opponent's strength.

Hikari was a little annoyed. If she had known, she would not have been so anxious to show up. Although she succeeded in taking down one by sneak attack just now, she did not expect that this crypt spider would be so flexible. Not only could it fly over the eaves and walls, but it also moved very fast. Sure enough, having eight legs was different.

"I hope your strong legs must be more delicious than king crabs!" Hikari condensed two-meter-long lightsabers in both hands and rushed towards one of the spiders.

The two spiders cooperated very well and were obviously top predators. While Hikari attacked one of them, the other spider decisively spit out spider silk to provide support.

Fortunately, Hikari was sharp enough and managed to dodge it, otherwise she might have become someone else's prey.

"Warning: The silk of burrow spiders is extremely strong and tough, and contains a powerful paralyzing toxin."

"Can its poison paralyze me?" asked Hikari.

"No!"

"I like your straightforward answers. It seems that I just need to be careful not to get entangled in their spider silk." Hikari immediately had an idea and distanced herself from the two spiders.

"Come and try this, my dear dinners!" Hikari took out two pistols from the space and started shooting at the two spiders.

Of course, when Hikari said this, she didn't know whether she should have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or maybe afternoon tea (ps: this is Hikari's own joke).

After all, the underground maze is dark every day, so Hikari can no longer distinguish between day and night. Although the intelligent personality can tell her the exact time, every day is almost the same as evening, so she just treats it as dinner.

Hikari's hail of bullets was quite intensive, she just fired indiscriminately as if the bullets were free.

"Crackling", the sound of metal collisions caused by bullet shells falling to the ground was heard.

It seemed that in the long-range combat, the enemy had fire suppression, and once the two spiders stopped dodging, they would be shot into sieves by the dense rain of bullets.

The crypt spider, who had originally tried to argue with Hikari and test her background, immediately changed its strategy.

The two spiders immediately sped up and rushed towards Hikari. After they found that they had an absolute advantage in speed, they did not intend to continue the tug-of-war and went straight to confront Hikari head-on.

It was obvious that the two-headed spiders were intelligent, but unfortunately there were not many of them, and they did not understand how powerful Hikari was.

A spider flew over and raised its chelicerae on the front of its head towards Hikari. At the end of the chelicerae were fangs with venom gland ducts.

Hikari's eyes flashed, she retracted her guns, and condensed lightsabers in her hands again. With a few "swish" sounds, she chopped the spider into eight pieces with a swinging motion that could not be captured by the naked eye.

"After all, it's a rare ingredient, so we have to handle it well." Originally, Hikari could have avoided a prolonged battle with the two spiders, but she couldn't control her special powers, and the meat in her mouth might end up as nothing but a pile of mud.

Therefore, in order to preserve the integrity of the ingredients as much as possible, Hikari deliberately showed weakness and even became a master of outlining. Otherwise, with that speed, they would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

"There's still one left." Hikari looked at the last spider. It was obviously calmer and smarter than the previous one, and it didn't pounce on her immediately.

Hikari smiled, not intending to hide her strength, and moved directly to his face.

Before the spider could react and was about to spin silk, Hikari swung her sword at it. However, the spider sensed danger and raised its forelimbs to block Hikari's attack, but at the cost of its two front legs.

The surviving spider knew that it could not defeat Hikari, so it imitated the gecko and cut off its tail to survive. The moment its two front legs were chopped off, it spit out spider silk directly to the other end, using the toughness of the silk to pull itself away from Hikari, and took the opportunity to escape while the other party was still not able to recover.

"Tsk, it actually ran away!" Hikari smacked her lips, but the other two spiders were enough for her to have a good meal.

As for these crystal silkworms...

Hikari looked at the four or five silkworm-like creatures that had no fighting power. Even though they were trembling with fear, they still used their bodies to protect the "cocoon" in the middle.

"Your spirit is worthy of praise. I won't eat you." After saying that, Hikari walked forward and touched the round heads of a few silkworms. They were more docile than expected, and their whole bodies were cool but not cold. Their smooth skin was as delicate as a baby's skin.

Those crystal silkworms seemed to feel Shikari's kindness, or perhaps it was the aura of a superior from Shikari that made the crystal silkworms become docile.

"Okay, we've saved him. What should I do now?" Hikari asked the intelligent personality in her mind.

"Notice: Please place your hand on the cocoon. The system will sense and analyze the biological information of the other party."

"It sounds simple." Hikari raised her hand and touched the cocoon.

"Notice: Collecting information..."

During the waiting time, Hikari's hand never moved away. Unlike the cold body temperature of the crystal silkworm, the surface of the cocoon actually felt warm, and it felt very smooth and soft, just like silk. In particular, she could feel that the cocoon seemed to be sending her a friendly message through the contact between her palms.

Hikari was even looking forward to what kind of monster would come out of this cocoon. To the point that, somehow, she hugged this "cocoon" that looked like a dinosaur egg with both hands.

"I'm getting a little excited. What kind of little one will you be? I prefer cute and obedient ones, preferably ones who can act like a spoiled child, and must be smart, but it's also cute if they're a little stupid occasionally, and then..."

Hikari kept muttering, and the creature inside seemed to understand. The whole cocoon trembled slightly inadvertently, as if responding to Hikari's expectations.

……

At this time, in the cave on the other side, there were spider webs, various insect eggs piled on the ground, and small spiders crawling everywhere.

The injured spider was crawling in front of a female spider that was ten times its size. The giant female spider used its forelimbs to pierce the spider's abdomen like a skewer, then lifted it up and put it in its mouth to chew.

Of course, this is not because the mother spider is extremely hungry, but because this is how we get the information in its brain.

After the female spider digested the spider, a bloody light flashed in her eight eyes.

"Roar!!!" The mother spider seemed to be giving orders, and all the spiders responded. Even the baby spiders in the eggs broke out of their shells, answering the call of "mother".

The entire spider nest began to boil, as if the spiders were planning a bloody massacre against the outside world.

The storm is coming, and all the harmonious pictures are the calm before the storm...
