Weighing the boning knife in his hand, Yunhai gritted his teeth and controlled himself to calm down.
He couldn't fight it head-on at all. Not to mention whether the boning knife in his hand could break through the centipede's carapace that reflected a cold light, just its current size, rushing over, Yunhai estimated that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
And more importantly, centipedes were poisonous insects. Tropical giant centipedes, after biting a human, could cause lymphangitis and tissue necrosis, even nausea, headache, dizziness, convulsions, and even coma.
Just this mutated, huge centipede in front of him, Yunhai estimated that although it wasn't a tropical giant centipede, its toxicity was definitely fierce, probably enough to take down an elephant.
"What to do? This is a mutated bug that cannot be shaken by human power. If I rush up, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist even one face-to-face!"
"Could it be that the Queen has to take action again? At this time, its ovipositor has already been exposed half a meter outside the body. If it moves again, will the ovipositor fall off?"
Faced with the menacing mutated centipede, Yunhai was in a state of confusion.
"Hiss..."
The Alien Queen seemed to not have noticed the approach of the giant centipede, or perhaps didn't care at all. Her "sweating profusely" body trembled slightly, her gorgeous and bizarre skull swayed gently, and the ovipositor in her lower abdomen protruded a bit more.
The giant centipede had rushed onto the Creep, but its target wasn't Yunhai or the Alien Queen. Its densely packed legs rapidly alternated, rushing straight towards the lynx that was tightly wrapped in the Creep.
A deep roar came from the depths of its throat. The bloodshot pupils stared intently at the huge multi-legged monster. The lynx cub's roar was more of a dying wail than a threat to the centipede.
Teeth clenched, Yunhai resolutely rushed up with the boning knife.
Silently, the Alien Queen's slender caudal bone quietly probed out. Just as Yunhai had just attacked, before the mutated centipede could pounce on the lynx, under the bright light of the flashlight, a cold light flashed past like lightning.
"Chirp!"
The tail tip, like a giant scythe, pierced through the centipede's head as if it were nothing. The slender tail lightly stretched, and the Alien Queen directly encircled its body and slowly pulled it in front of her.
Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down stiff.
What's more, the centipede wasn't completely dead yet. Its thick body spasmed and twisted, causing the Queen's body to be whipped with "pitter-patter" sounds.
"Mutation gave you a strong body, but it seems it didn't give you a developed brain. You only thought about drinking blood and eating meat, but you didn't consider whose mouth you were snatching food from!"
A mutated, huge centipede, the Alien Queen didn't move her body even half a step, and directly killed it in seconds. Yunhai was both shocked and very happy.
He finally understood the difference between powerful alien creatures and Earth creatures.
Even for evolved and mutated Earth creatures, at least this mutated centipede, the strength difference was too far.
The Alien Queen killing it was just like Yunhai stepping on a non-mutated centipede before, easy as pie.
"Hiss..."
Her caudal bone dragged behind her, spasming unconsciously. As the Alien Queen's giant maw probed out from under her smooth skull cap, spitting out trails of white mist, the cold and fierce surface of her body kept seeping out sweat-like mucus, and the constantly writhing ovipositor would protrude a bit from her lower abdomen.
Her giant maw trembled, saliva stuck together, and after the ovipositor squeezed out a bit more, the Alien Queen looked a little weak. Her caudal bone lightly stretched, her forelimbs tightly grasped, and she sent the constantly twitching centipede to her mouth.
Perhaps this was also why she didn't choose to secrete a large amount of mucus to form the Creep to trap the centipede as a host. After all, at this time, concentrating all her strength to lay eggs as soon as possible was the most important thing.
"Poisonous!" Seeing that the Queen wanted to eat the centipede, the cautious Yunhai hurriedly said to her in his mind.
Opening her mouth and "hissing" at Yunhai, not knowing if she understood, the Queen grabbed the centipede with her forelimbs, stuffed it into her mouth, and the inner jaws fluttered uncertainly, and she directly ate it.
Believing that the Queen dared to eat it, she naturally wasn't afraid of the toxicity in the centipede's body. After all, a fierce alien creature, containing a terrifyingly corrosive acid in its body, how could it be poisoned to death by a centipede.
Feeling that he was a bit of an alarmist, Yunhai gave a self-deprecating smile, walked to a stone not far away, leaned against it and sat down. The original thought of going to find Datou, Cui Hao, and others was completely dispelled by the appearance of the centipede.
In this huge cave, who knew how many mutated insects there were? Only by staying by the Alien Queen's side could Yunhai feel a rare peace and tranquility.
There were spare batteries in his mountaineering bag, but he couldn't waste them. Yunhai just wanted to turn off the flashlight. His gaze fell on the thick and soft Creep under his feet. Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, he reached out and touched it.
Just as he touched the Creep, Yunhai felt that his fingers instantly seemed to merge with the thick Creep, and at the same time, a warm breath followed his fingertips and entered his hand.
At first, he thought it was just a sensory perception. After all, compared to the cold cave, the temperature of the Creep was a bit higher.
But in an instant, when the heat flow accelerated and rushed towards his heart, instantly merging into the Alien Mother imprint covered with starlight-like spots, he was shocked to feel that something was wrong.
Horrified, he immediately pulled his fingers back.
Not knowing how many times his strength was greater than before, Yunhai couldn't control himself. While desperately withdrawing his hand, his elbow slammed into the stone behind him, making a dull thud.
He even felt the stone, which was more than three people tall, tremble, but his elbow didn't feel any pain at all. Yunhai didn't know what was happening. At the same time, a large amount of chaotic information appeared in his mind again.
Caring not to sort out the abruptly appearing chaotic information, he immediately thought of some terrible possibility, and Yunhai hurriedly concentrated his attention and looked at his chest.
In his mind, that magical scene appeared again.
On Yunhai's heart, the blue imprint faintly flowed with black brilliance, reflecting the starlight spots, eerie and magical.
At the same time, Yunhai felt that his entire body, whether muscles or bones, even instinctively his cells, seemed to have undergone an instant tempering, a nirvana-like transformation, completely different.
Also, Yunhai could clearly feel that in the space, strands of energy that were difficult to express in words, followed his pores and breathing, slowly entering his body, and finally poured into the Alien Mother imprint on his heart.
"What's going on?"

Yunhai was both surprised and horrified, and didn't dare to touch the Creep again, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the side.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Yunhai began to sort out the information that originally existed in his genetic inheritance instinct, and was as if activated by the "Creep".
It wasn't messy, but extremely obscure. Fortunately, it was still information derived from genes displayed at the spiritual level. Yunhai spent a long time before he barely obtained a set of useful information.
Finally, Yunhai completely understood what the so-called "Mother of Aliens" was different from the Alien Queen.
The Mother of Aliens, the ruler of the Alien clan, can control all Aliens, including the Queen, through mental power.
Reproducing more Aliens to strengthen the clan was the Alien Queen's mission. The Queen, possessing tyrannical strength, was, in some respects, a tireless and endless reproduction machine.
The Mother of Aliens, however, was the key to guaranteeing the existence of the Alien clan.
If on a certain planet, or even in a galaxy or universe, all the Aliens, including the Mother of Aliens, were completely killed, exterminated.
As long as the Mother of Aliens still had a piece of bone plate, a drop of blood, or even a piece of Creep secreted, the cells hidden within, after a period of growth, would evolve at most into an egg containing the Mother of Aliens.
When it parasitized a certain life and grew up, it would be equivalent to the Mother of Aliens being resurrected, and it would also extract genetic material from its own genes, using the magical Creep as an aid, and recreate a new Alien Queen egg.
If there was a host in the space where the resurrected Alien Mother was located, the Alien clan would grow stronger in the shortest amount of time.
If the Alien Mother egg formed by cell evolution, the space in which it existed had no host available for parasitization, the Alien Mother would enter a dormant state, patiently waiting for the birth of other life, or their arrival, until the end of time.
This was the terrifying Mother of Aliens, the terrifying Alien clan.
Not all of it. As the supreme ruler of the Alien clan, the Mother of Aliens also had a special ability, which was absorption and fusion.
Aliens had a section of blank gene chains. When they parasitized different hosts, they would copy the host's excellent genes. After bursting out of the chest and molting, their bodies and some instincts would have the characteristics of the host, including changes in appearance.
This was the Alien clan's terrible advantage. This characteristic of optimizing and selecting gene replication allowed them to grow and evolve in any extreme environment.
This also applied to the Mother of Aliens. The first life it parasitized also determined its direction of evolution and growth.
In Yunhai's personal understanding, the difference in strength between an Alien Mother who parasitized a human and a ordinary Alien who parasitized a Tyrannosaurus Rex was imaginable.
Therefore, in some respects, the status of the Mother of Aliens was supreme, but its strength was not necessarily the strongest.
What was revered was only the special way of life, and the control of peculiar spiritual power. However, the existence of the peculiar ability of "absorption and fusion" guaranteed that the strength of the Mother of Aliens would also be the strongest in the Alien clan.
Using the magical Creep as a medium, the Mother of Aliens could connect with other Aliens through it, analyze and extract excellent and powerful genetic abilities from them, modulate them onto her body, and fuse them for her own use.
What happened just now was that the Alien Mother extracted the Queen's ability through the Creep. Regardless of whether the fusion of Yunhai and the Alien Mother had changed anything, at least at that moment, he had successfully extracted the Alien Queen's power.
That was an incomparably tyrannical power. With a surging heart, Yunhai felt that he could blow up a cow with one punch.
