Lin Yan held the egg in his hand and sealed it with the Black Tortoise Divine Armor. Then, he carefully observed its appearance at 360 degrees.
It had yet to fully develop into an egg worm. It looked like a drop of water. Its entire body was smooth and exquisite, but the color was pale, like human skin that had been bloated for a long time. It looked quite terrifying.
At this moment, the round head was slowly squirming, opening a small gap. It expanded in all directions like a spiral and gradually grew into a mouth.
However, without the supply of flesh and meat from the outside world, its vitality was clearly getting weaker and weaker as it developed.
Lin Yan looked at its entire body and realized that there was no special structure. He clenched it tightly in his left hand and squeezed his right palm slightly. A Savage Flame surgical knife appeared in his right hand.
The tip of the Savage Flame surgery knife was pointed down at the Gadfly egg’s body and slowly stabbed down.
The egg worm felt pain and began to shake its body crazily. It squirmed like a slug, but it was firmly sealed by the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and could not move.
Lin Yan’s scalpel accurately and coldly stabbed behind the worm. The sharp Savage Flame knife seemed to be cutting butter, splitting the upper half of the egg worm into two, and the lower half was still connected.
“There’s no blood. In the body, there’s a cavity from the head to the tail. There’s no extra organs. The cavity is very energetic and the frequency of squirming and contraction is very high. Even if it’s cut open, it’s still very active…”
The Savage Flame Dagger slashed forward again, directly splitting the egg worm’s newly grown mouth into two. Then, the Black Tortoise Divine Armor extended and pressed down, pressing it into a thin layer.
Even though it had been split into two, Lin Yan could still sense that the egg worm was still squirming crazily. Its vitality didn’t seem to have decreased at all.
“However, there seems to be some special structure on its head, like the prototype of an organ…”
On the head of the egg worm, there was a lump of flesh entangled in uneven folds. It was clearly different from the cavity and other parts of the body.
“Perhaps this is the location of the Spirit Marrow?”
The Gadfly Demon had Spirit Marrow in its body, and the shape of this lump of flesh made Lin Yan subconsciously think of the appearance of the Spirit Marrow fragment. It was a little similar.
The life force of the egg worm almost exceeded Lin Yan’s imagination. It was still moving at this moment, and the strength of its movement had only decreased a little.
Moreover, the force he felt was very strong. This egg worm’s small body could produce such powerful strength. It could only be said that its entire body was almost made of muscle tissue, and its muscle density far exceeded that of humans.
Therefore, it was actually very difficult for ten people at the Tough Realm to completely control a one-meter-long Gadfly Demon.
Seeing that the Gadfly egg was actually not dead, Lin Yan decided to walk around the 100th battlefield, which was the cavity in the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body.
Clearly, these areas no longer bore the physiological functions of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. They could only be called living flesh and blood.
Moreover, its area was not small at all, and it was divided into upper and lower levels. As Lin Yan walked, he created some Formless Clones to fill this passageway as much as possible so that he could sense the changes at any time.
After circling around, the struggling movements of the Gadfly egg in his hand finally decreased a little. Overall, it appeared to be shriveled and withered. It became dark and slowly stopped moving.
Looking at the egg that looked like dried meat in his palm, Lin Yan could still feel an extremely weak pulsation from it.
With a thought, he tilted his head and sent a message to the golden ball that had been following him. “I’ll borrow some flesh and blood of yours!”
He reached out and wiped the flesh wall beside him. A thin layer of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s flesh was scraped off by him, along with a layer of fresh blood. Then, the Essence Origin Holy Flame followed closely and healed the wound.
The golden ball shook helplessly, as if it was telling him to be gentle!
Lin Yan rubbed the thin layer of flesh with one hand and pinched it above the Gadfly egg. With a squeeze, blood gushed out of the flesh like juice and dripped onto the Gadfly egg’s open cavity organ.
In an instant, the originally dried and shriveled egg cavity actually began to squirm forcefully. In an instant, it swallowed the blood that dripped on it completely, and its color began to fill up.
“As expected, it’s not dead. Its vitality is comparable to the zombies I saw in the movies in my previous life…”
Drops of blood dripped down like the source of life, instantly awakening this flat egg worm. Lin Yan simply threw the blood and flesh that he had squeezed dry onto the flat egg worm.
Then, he slightly let go of the control of the Black Tortoise Divine Armor. The flat egg worm that had been cut open immediately bounced up, and the entire skin wrapped tightly around the ball of flesh. It looked a little like the Mud Fruit that wrapped around the Corpse Buddha Cockroach.
As the skin continued to squirm, its size actually shrank with the naked eye. It was obvious that the flesh was being quickly digested. Moreover, the places that had been cut open were actually stuck together. The flesh kept squirming and slowly healing!
Lin Yan controlled the urge to crush it and stared straight at it. By devouring flesh and blood, its stitched its body that had been cut open, turning it back into a complete egg worm!
Moreover, this egg worm had grown two rows of shallow teeth. Compared to before, it had grown a step stronger!
“This vitality…”
It really shocked Lin Yan. This had almost exceeded the category of animals. It was almost like a plant reproducing by splitting branches.
Before the experiment ended, Lin Yan sent a message to the golden ball in advance. He wanted more of its flesh and blood and gave it a heads-up.
The Golden Ball of Consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother naturally did not object.
The Turtle Spirit Clan had also tried to dissect and observe the Gadfly eggs before. However, due to technical conditions and the intense battle situation, they did not carry out on a large scale.
Secondly, it was the Gadfly Demon’s instinctive vigilance mechanism!
Every time the Turtle Spirit Clan caught a Gadfly egg, if the Gadfly egg could not escape, it would immediately self-destruct, not giving the Turtle Spirit Clan a chance to experiment.
It was as if this was an instinct recorded in their bodies.
However, in Lin Yan’s hand, it didn’t self-destruct!
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother guessed that it was related to the aura!
She told Lin Yan her guess.
“In other words, the Black Tortoise Divine Armor has completely hidden my aura. That’s why the Gadfly Egg doesn’t think that it’s captured and doesn’t trigger its self-destruction mechanism?”
This made sense. The Gadfly egg clearly did not have eyes or similar organs. It was definitely not sensing the outside environment through light. There was a high chance that it was sensing the outside world through aura, or human spiritual substance, human smell, and so on.
Coupled with the defense of the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, his test process was so smooth and easy.
“We’ll know when we try it later, but you have to wait for a while. I’ll try other methods…”
As he spoke, Lin Yan clenched his fists.
With a smacking sound, it was like a rubber ball had been crushed. The Gadfly egg that had just eaten delicious flesh exploded into a blurry ball of flesh, its skin and flesh mixing together.
“Can you still live after being pinched like this?”
He tore off another small piece of flesh and dripped it onto the Gadfly egg.
Unexpectedly, the parts that belonged to the cavity in the blurry ball of flesh could still squirm and devour flesh!
The cavity had already been broken into several pieces and there was no connection between them at all. Therefore, the devouring of flesh and blood was also carried out independently.
As the flesh and blood were gradually devoured, several sections of the cavity began to slowly lengthen. Then, like building blocks being pieced together, they automatically connected together, turning into a brand new cavity!
Then, it swallowed the surrounding flesh and skin of the Gadfly egg and became a part of itself.
However, this bit of flesh was clearly not enough. Lin Yan tore three to four more pieces in a row and threw them in. The cavity kept devouring, and then the skin on the surface began to swell. Finally, a new outer layer grew, turning into a brand new Gadfly egg!
It was slightly smaller than the previous one, but the teeth in its mouth were thicker.
The Golden Ball of Consciousness jumped up and down at the side and circled Lin Yan. It was extremely excited. The general meaning was that it was no wonder that every time it wriggled its flesh and crushed the parasites in its flesh, it was still unable to kill the Gadfly egg.
Simply crushing it could not kill it completely!
Lin Yan’s expression was cold. Next, he crushed the Gadfly Egg several times and then provided flesh. He discovered that the Gadfly Egg could actually revive again and again. Even though the new Gadfly Egg had nothing to do with the original Gadfly Egg, it proved again and again that the life force of the Gadfly Demon was terrifyingly strong!
Just like wild grass that could not be burned by fire, as long as there was still a bit of organ in the cavity, it could devour flesh and blood to revive!
“No wonder the Turtle Spirit Clan hasn’t been able to eliminate the Gadfly Demon for hundreds of years. They’re even on the verge of complete failure…”
Lin Yan looked at the Gadfly egg in his palm that was still full of vigor. The upper and lower rows of teeth had even grown completely. The fear in his eyes intensified.
He had many methods, so it was definitely not a problem to completely kill an egg worm. However, if this Gadfly Demon was hidden in the Turtle Spirit Floly Mother’s body, and there were thousands of them, it would be very troublesome to deal with it.
“Forget it, let’s try the nine-colored flames of the Vermillion Bird Burning the Nine Heavens first and see which ones are more effective…”
