After hearing System's instructions, Shava turned around and moved toward the white spider that was wriggling back together in the snow. In the blink of an eye, her body suddenly accelerated, and she swung her twin bdes again.

  Two bloody lines appeared on the white spider's body, one horizontal and one vertical. His body that hadn't yet fully healed was directly sliced into four pieces.

  At this time, the spider's flesh began going through various changes. The creature finally gave up on his spider form, and his white exoskeleton seemed to start melting, eventually transforming into pink flesh. His eight spider legs also gradually melted before being absorbed into his body.

  ...

  When the unknown insect beast had attacked, an inexplicable feeling had appeared in the white spider's mind that had made his body tremble slightly. He hadn't felt this indescribable emotion for a long time, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

  The white spider's mind had only one thought at this moment; he wanted to devour the insect beast in front of him and gain the opponent's ability. He had even forgotten the task given to him by his master, that he was supposed to capture these insect beasts.

  He first abandoned his spider appearance. His flesh and blood gradually flowed and merged, eventually forming the meatball shape that he was most comfortable with. Then the meatball's surface began expanding and contracting like an unduting balloon.

  To deal with such a fast-moving enemy, he had many coping instincts. His preparations were now complete, and he was only waiting for the insect beast to attack again. As soon as he was attacked, the meatball would definitely cause his opponent considerable damage.

  The meatball didn't have to wait long before the enemy's sharp bde sshed through his body once more.

  Boom!

  An explosive roar erupted when the meatball was sliced open. Hundreds of reddish-brown spikes three centimeters long suddenly burst out of his bisected body at tremendous speed.

  These dense spikes were unavoidable.

  The fast-moving insect beast obviously couldn't completely avoid the explosion. She was hit by seven or eight spikes containing deadly toxins and colpsed onto the snow a few meters away.

  The meatball that had been cut in half squirmed again, and countless huge, sharp, white teeth sprouted from each half. The meatball's two halves seemed to form a huge mouth, and he rushed toward the fallen insect beast. The meatball wanted to swallow and digest her immediately.

  However, when the giant mouth bit down, he found that he hadn't swallowed anything solid, only a mouthful of snow.

  Before the giant mouth had a chance to spit out the snow, he felt another bst of intense pain. His body had been sshed by the insect beast again, and this time he'd been cut into many pieces.

  The intense pain combined with the strong pressure from his opponent made the meatball's mind become surprisingly sober. His desire to devour the opponent reduced greatly, and he inexplicably recalled a number of memories from the past.

  Back then, he seemed to have been trapped in a strange pce where there were countless insects, and he was always fighting madly for his life. He'd devoured many insects and grown stronger and stronger until, finally, he'd been the only one left.

  Then he'd met his master, and after that, he'd been tortured by his master in various ways every day. He seemed to remember someone telling him that he was the master's experiment.

  Although his body could heal no matter how badly he was tortured, the experience had still been extremely painful.

  The meatball could no longer remember the specific process, but he did recall a special insect beast—Ying.

  He remembered that Ying had asked him a question at that time, and he'd think about that question every day, but the more he'd thought about it, the more confused he'd become.

  "What is the purpose of us living like this?"

  At that time, Ying hadn't possessed the ability to transmit mental messages, but she could speak in a strange nguage that he'd somehow understood.

  "Live, good."

  He seemed to have given that answer at the time.

  "You've been living here all this time. Don't you want to go outside?"

  Ying seemed to have asked him that question.

  "Don't, know."

  That's what he'd said at the time.

  ...

  The meatball that was lying in pieces gradually gathered his parts back together. In fact, when he recalled his past, this kind of injury was much easier to recover from than the torture that his owner had inflicted on him. It was also less painful.

  As he reassembled his body, the meatball felt the cold of the snow on the ground, and he also felt the sharp and refreshing chill of the passing breeze.

  The meatball started squirming and changing again, and a huge eyeball emerged from his body. He stared up at the blue sky and the surrounding forest covered with ice and snow.

  However, his eye hadn't been formed for long before it was chopped into pieces by the insect beast's bde.

  The meatball grew enraged again when his eye was sliced apart. He must swallow this annoying insect beast first! Then he could calmly look at the surrounding scenery.

  He began wriggling again, and countless sharp, bck spikes appeared all over his body's surface.

  However, the only things waiting for him were more sshes from the insect beast's twin bdes.

  No matter how he changed his body, he would always be cut into pieces by the opponent, and his own attacks never seemed to have any effect.

  After more than ten minutes, the meatball's body still kept fusing back together, but because of his continuous loss of flesh and blood, his body had been reduced to half of its original size.

  After such a long battle, even with the meatball's low intelligence, he knew that he was no match for the insect beast wielding the twin bdes. If he continued fighting like this, he would definitely die.

  The meatball had the idea of escaping.

  But perhaps because of the continuous battle, or because the other strange insect beast had said too many words to him earlier, the meatball's mind was a little confused.

  He wanted to eat this insect beast, complete his master's mission, and escape from here so that he could survive. He also thought of the question that Ying had asked him a long time ago—

  "You've been living here all this time. Don't you want to go outside?"

  The meatball wanted to find Ying so that he could answer her question. Then he would complete his master's mission by killing the traitorous Ying.

  But Ying was gone.

  The meatball remembered the weird insect beast that had constantly asked him questions the same way that Ying used to. Perhaps that insect beast could repce Ying and hear his answer to Ying's question instead.

  The meatball made a decision. After giving his answer to the weird insect beast, he would contact his master and ask to be summoned back.

  Another explosion erupted, repelling the twin-bded insect beast.

  The meatball's flesh changed again. His body became slender and more streamlined, and a pair of wings sprouted from his back. He flew toward the weird insect beast that talked a lot using all of his strength.

  However, he'd only flown less than two meters before his body was chopped into pieces.

  That twin-bded insect beast's attack speed had increased again...

  ...

  System was a little worried at first about the battle between Shava and the strange meatball, but as time went on, Shava gained more and more control over the situation, and the meatball gradually shrunk due to being sliced into pieces constantly.

  System knew that if this continued, Shava would definitely win and kill this strange creature with insect blood.

  However, after the battle had gone on for over ten minutes, the meatball suddenly started rushing toward System like crazy, as if he could tell that he had no way to deal with Shava and wanted to kill System instead.

  However, Shava's ability was extremely special. The greater the threat the meatball presented to System, the stronger her power would grow.

  As the meatball continued going after System, Shava's attacks became increasingly sharp, and blood and flesh spttered all over the snowy ground. Although the meatball was still regenerating, his body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  The meatball finally rushed to a position only one meter away from System, but he was now only the size of a human baby's fist. He y dying on the snow, and it seemed like he could no longer move.

  System felt some strange emotions from the meatball. He used [Mental Connection] to connect with him again, and received some very strange mental messages from the meatball.

  After sending its final message, the strange meatball completely stopped moving and died.

  "Was, so...nice, outside."

  System silently repeated the st message sent by the meatball. He thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the other party had been trying to say before his death.
