My Cell Can Infinitely Evolve - Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Big Clam
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The moment his intestine was attacked, Luo Fan did not panic. Instead, a familiar feeling inexplicably emerged in his mind.
It was as if he had been bitten by such an attack before.
In a daze, he suddenly understood what it was like.
The sudden attack by the large clam was identical to being bitten by the old turtle in the dark.
At this moment, his few intestines had struck rapidly and bound that organ which had shot out.
The spiked tails moved into action, and the old clam was killed with ease.
The entire set of actions was carried out smoothly in one go.
In a daze, after this set of actions, Luo Fan seemed to have understood why the large clam in front of him was so familiar.
“Wasn’t this the old turtle that hid in the mud when it was dark?”
There was some problem with sensory perception. It was different from what one could see with one’s eye.
Furthermore, when he killed that old turtle, he disliked the effort and did not absorb it, but had left it there.
This was because it would take a lot of effort to open the shell.
Who would have thought that a clam would mutate into such a state? He had thought all along that a turtle’s head had bitten his intestine.
In the end, he did not expect those so-called “old turtles” to be large clams.
“That’s true. A turtle cannot breathe underwater for a long time, and shouldn’t be living in such an environment.”
With this thought, things became much easier. It was very reasonable for a clam to live in such a muddy environment.
And he also thought that the “small snakes” and “big fish” he had previously encountered might be completely different from what he had thought. He could not say what kinds of creatures they might be.
At the same time, the attack had made Luo Fan realize that for many of the supernatural creatures, he should not look at just their appearance.
Since the original species had mutated, their behavior, physiological structure, and the way they survive would change drastically.
Perhaps a harmless kitten could slice open one’s head with its claws in the next second.
And this clam, which was originally at the mercy of others, had actually become a powerful hunter lying in ambush here after its supernatural evolution.
The order of the biological chain had been broken, and the order which had existed was slowly disappearing.
“Indeed! The appearance of supernatural energy has caused the position of all hunters and prey in the natural world to change.”
“Would the high and mighty human also be pulled down from his divine pedestal because of this supernatural energy?”
Luo Fan dared not think about it. Perhaps.
The essence of his soul was that of a human, and there were still many human friends living in this world.
However, he knew very well that he might not be able to integrate into the human race anymore.
He was now a separate species, a single individual who would be ostracized by all living beings.
“With the emergence of supernatural energy, the law of the jungle in the world has become even more serious. I have to become stronger to be able to protect myself.”
After killing the large clam, Luo Fan continued to walk forward, and the surroundings became brighter.
As he advanced, he also saw many large clams rooted in the mud.
However, Luo Fan did not understand what creatures the clams were hunting. He had not seen many creatures in this space that the clams could prey upon.
However, this was not something Luo Fan could think of. What he had to do now was to continue searching for a way to survive.
Along the way, he absorbed some more energy and increased his mass a little.
Currently, the mass of his entire body had reached around 11.2 kg, but his body size had not increased much.
Luo Fan walked forward for a while more before his eye suddenly lit up.
At this moment, the space was completely lit up and Luo Fan could see very far away.
He looked squarely at a small waterfall that was flowing down not far away.
If he had the sense of hearing, he would have been able to hear the sound of water splashing.
Luo Fan was a little excited.
He had finally seen some other scenery. Perhaps, he would know what this place was after he had passed the waterfall.
Perhaps, the path ahead was the way to leave this place.
Luo Fan continued to advance, and his speed began to increase.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a shocking scene.
In the water ahead, there was a large area of densely packed rocks, stacked one after another.
If one were to count carefully, there might be thousands of them.
Large clam. This was the name Luo Fan had given it.
What Luo Fan had originally thought was a turtle was more dangerous.
At this moment, he actually saw a huge number of large clams here.
It was like… a kingdom of large clams.
“Why is there such a huge number of large clams here, and they were even mutated supernatural creatures?”
Luo Fan was a little shocked. This place was definitely not ordinary.
More importantly, how did the large clams live in these waters?
Although supernatural energy had begun to appear in this world and many strange creatures and things had appeared, no matter how unconventional these creatures were, they were really different from the original creatures.
However, since they had appeared, there had to be a reason.
These large clams were carnivores and required food to obtain energy. They also had the habit of catching their prey.
Otherwise, Luo Fan would not have been attacked when he was walking in the water.
So it made no sense for these big clams to live here. Luo Fan could not find any good reason for it.
It could not be like some fantasy novels where a large group of experts appeared out of nowhere without considering the conservation of energy and matter in the world.
There must be some reason why so many large clams had appeared here.
Then, he was a little afraid to go forward.
This place was too illogical, not like a scene in a natural environment.
He was afraid that if he went over, he would easily throw himself into a trap.
The unknown was dangerous, and one had to be careful.
If he lost his life, Luo Fan could not be revived.
Moreover, he had never regarded himself as the protagonist. There was no such thing as destiny in this world.
Just as he was being cautious, he suddenly saw another type of creature.
There were many big fish swimming among the large clams.
The big fish were light green in color and looked like ordinary grass carps.
However, there was a ribbon-like thing hanging from below their body.
These big fish were swimming among the large clams, but the clams had no intention of attacking them.
There were not many big fish, only a few dozen.
Compared to the number of large clams, the number of these big fish was relatively small.
At this moment, as he looked at these big fish, a familiar feeling inexplicably emerged.
“Something’s not right here. These clams and fish can’t have appeared here for no reason. It’s very likely…”
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
Then, he looked at this place. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
“But… shouldn’t this city have been destroyed by a large fire? How could there still be intelligent life?”
Then, he looked toward the source of the light.
He became more and more certain of his speculation.
This so-called kingdom of large clams was just a breeding farm for clams.
Otherwise, how could it be so neat?
