"My body...can't be controlled!"

As Qin Zhong finished speaking, the monster's giant claw, which had been half-raised, suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, a look of surprise and fear flashed across the monster's blood-red eyes.

It turned out that just as Qin Zhong finished speaking, its body completely lost control and could not move!

"Can't control it anymore? Haha, the joints in your spine are all severed, it's a wonder you can move!"

Looking at the monster, motionless like a statue, Qin Zhong smiled faintly. He walked around the monster and stood behind it, saying, "Vertebral organisms need the support of the spine for their movements..."

As he spoke, Qin Zhong suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh right, I'm not sure if you can understand what I'm saying. Forget it, I know all this from my biology teacher when I was in school. It seems that even though your monster is weird, your body structure is still within this range!"

It turned out that not long after Qin Zhong invaded the monster's body, he quickly figured out the monster's mechanism of action.

Then, he controlled a portion of the metal liquid, which penetrated into the monster's spine and then solidified into blades, severing the connection between each of the monster's vertebrae.

In other words, this monster has now become a veritable "plant monster", or a high-level paraplegic monster.

"Food...must be replenished!"

After losing its ability to move, the monster's emotions began to become extremely unstable. It barely opened its mouth and mumbled in its unique hoarse voice, "Otherwise... Reclaim..."

"Must I replenish food? Otherwise, I'll run out of energy? Or must I replenish food and energy, or recycle?"

Listening to the monster's incoherent words, Qin Zhong's face was filled with solemn speculation. Judging from the monster's words and the process of its creation, this monster did not seem like a natural product, but rather a man-made killing machine.

The mutant Tiger King and the conjoined giant corpse were the hosts that created it. As far as Qin Zhong knew, the only organization in the world capable of creating such a killing machine was Demon Mountain, or even the X-Plane people.

"I never thought that so many things would happen during my trip to Zhoupu. I even encountered a killing machine created by Demon Mountain here. But what does this monster mean by recycling? Could it be that the people of Demon Mountain will know about it as soon as it is born and send people to reclaim it?"

Qin Zhong couldn't help but frown as he recalled what the monster had just said. If it was really as he suspected, once the people from Demon Mountain came to retrieve this monster, he was afraid he would have to fight another battle.

"Incapacity lost... Recovery begins..."

Just as Qin Zhong frowned and thought, the monster suddenly spoke clearly and then slowly closed its blood-red eyes.

As its eyes slowly closed, a blue light suddenly emanated from the monster's body. Then, like a paper figurine set on fire, the monster quickly melted away in the blue light.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhong quickly took a few steps back, frowning as he watched everything. At this point, he had already guessed that the so-called recycling should be similar to self-destruction.

This setting must have been deliberately arranged by the people of Demon Mountain. If Qin Zhong guessed correctly, they must have set it to self-destruct because they were afraid that some of the secrets of this strange creature would be obtained by others.

In less than five seconds, the monster completely disappeared from this world, leaving only a few silver blades and a big red crystal core quietly remaining where the monster had just stood.

……

"This crystal core is probably a level five crystal core! I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise!"

Looking at the large red crystal core on the ground, Qin Zhong pondered for a moment. As he bent down to pick up the crystal core, the sharp silver blades transformed into drops of silver liquid, flowing to the bottom of Qin Zhong's feet and then quickly blending into it.

"What a strong vitality..."

Feeling the thrilling life fluctuations coming from the level five crystal core, Qin Zhong raised the corners of his mouth.

The life force in this level five crystal core is extremely strong, but unfortunately Qin Zhong has just been upgraded to level four and is unable to directly consume the level five crystal core at this time.

After all, absorbing a crystal core is completely different from absorbing an evolution potion. The power within the crystal core is more of the pure power of the X-Virus, which is extremely destructive. If one's physical fitness is not up to par, it is easy for the X-Virus to invade the body while absorbing the power of the crystal core, and thus mutate into a zombie.

The evolution potion is based on the essence of meteorites, which neutralizes the destructiveness of the X virus. Combined with some mature medicines, it allows the evolvers to advance smoothly.

But even so, the evolver can only use three evolution potions at most. If he uses more than three, his body may not be able to withstand it, leading to unknown mutations.

"What a pity!"

Looking at the Level 5 crystal core in his hand, Qin Zhong sighed slightly. If he could absorb this crystal core, his body's evolution would surely be greatly improved.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, a golden figure turned into a golden stream of light, shooting straight towards Qin Zhong's hand from the sky, and swallowed the fifth-level crystal core into its stomach in one gulp.

"Chirp!"

After swallowing the fifth-level crystal core, the golden figure flapped its wings and landed on Qin Zhong's shoulder. It was the golden eagle.

At this moment, it chirped pitifully twice at Qin Zhong, as if asking Qin Zhong for forgiveness for its previous behavior.

"Haha, little thing, you've saved me so many times, would I be reluctant to give this to you?"

Looking at the pitiful golden eagle, Qin Zhong shook his head, touched its head and said, "If I didn't want to give you food, do you think you could eat it? Don't worry, I won't blame you."

In fact, Qin Zhong did not lie. Before the Golden Eagle took action, he had already deduced its intention from the sound of its muscles tensing.

However, although this level five crystal core is precious, it is of no use to him for the time being.

Since the golden eagle can actively want to devour, it must be useful for its evolution. In this case, giving it a crystal core to promote its evolution is also beneficial to Qin Zhong.

"Chirp!"

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, the golden eagle cried softly, then leaned against Qin Zhong and fell into a deep sleep.

With each breath it took, strong life force began to emanate from the golden eagle's body, as if it had begun further evolution.

Qin Zhong quickly held the golden eagle in his arms, feeling its condition. Under the nourishment of life energy, he found that the golden eagle's golden fur began to become softer, and its snow-white and sharp eagle claws also became whiter.

Seeing that the golden eagle was safe and sound, Qin Zhong directly put it into the life space. At the same time, he was a little envious of these mutant beasts. The evolution of mutant beasts was almost all through sleeping, absorbing the life energy in the crystal core to evolve themselves.

Moreover, it is very strange that as humans, sometimes when we absorb the power of these crystal cores, we may be transformed into zombies by the X virus contained in them, but it seems that mutant beasts rarely have this problem.

It has to be said that any mutant animal that can mutate can be considered a favorite of nature.
