Chapter 473 Changes

Lin Xiyue's face was filled with disappointment. She had been eager to try this magical insect, but Moros had given her a cold shower.

"If other races can eat it, why can't I? Maybe I'll be fine if I eat it..."

She looked at Meros with resentment, muttering to herself.

"Forget it, I won't let you take the risk. This insect may look tempting, but its venom is no joke."

However, before she could even voice her thoughts, Meros interrupted her as if he had read her mind.

Lin Xiyue sighed helplessly, forced to watch the formidable insect with a heavy heart.

"Don't think about it."

Seeing Lin Xiyue's greedy expression, Moros shook his head helplessly.

"Those things consume different kinds of energy, and they will exhibit different characteristics. You can't digest this kind of energy."

His voice was deep and firm.

Lin Xiyue blinked, seemingly unconvinced by Moros's words.

That unreliable idea still lingered in her mind, and she was even somewhat eager to try it out.

Seeing this, Melos reached out and gently tapped Lin Xiyue's forehead, as if to remind her not to overthink things.

"If you really want to eat, I'll take you to a restaurant when we get back."

Although his tone was gentle, it conveyed an unquestionable attitude.

Lin Xiyue touched her forehead where she had been hit, but she did not give up.

"So you mean you have specially raised them?! Have you ever eaten them? What do they taste like?"

She suddenly realized the meaning behind Melos's words and quickly pressed for an answer.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's question, Moros hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, acknowledging Lin Xiyue's guess.

"The taste of these insects after being grilled is actually unbelievably delicious."

As he savored the memory, Melos enthusiastically described it to Lin Xiyue.

"Its texture is a bit like the chicken here, but not exactly the same; it also has a hint of beef flavor. The best part is that these insects are naturally juicy. When you bite into one, the juice bursts in your mouth, spreading everywhere. The aroma is simply divine..."

He closed his eyes, as if he were back in the moment of savoring the delicious food, a look of bliss on his face.

"Moreover, this insect doesn't need any seasoning at all; it has a slightly salty taste that perfectly enhances the overall flavor. It's truly delicious!"

After a while, Meros continued.

Lin Xiyue was somewhat tempted as she listened to Molos's detailed description.

Images of golden-brown, crispy, and fragrant insects began to appear in her mind, along with the wonderful sensation of juicy flesh bursting out when she bit into them.

“(ˉ﹃ˉ) Slurp—”

Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly heard a soft sucking sound.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that the sound was coming from her own mouth.

How could this be?! Why am I drooling just listening to this?! QAQ

Her face flushed red instantly, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, inwardly groaning.

[(ˉ﹃ˉ) Slurp——]

However, what embarrassed Lin Xiyue even more was that the system in her mind also made the same sound at the same time.

The system is a complete foodie. It spends almost all of its monthly salary from the main system and the pocket money Lin Xiyue gives it, except for the portion it saves each month, on buying all kinds of delicious food.

[Host, do you think I can try some? Boss Mo's description makes it sound so delicious. (ˉ﹃ˉ)]

As the system spoke, it seemed to smell the enticing aroma, and its mouth watered uncontrollably.

"Yes, definitely. I'll share mine with you too."

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue quickly comforted her.

Upon receiving Lin Xiyue's affirmative reply, the system became excited and eagerly awaited that day.

"Amo, will you take me to try it sometime? (???)"

However, before the system could recover from its joy, Lin Xiyue suddenly turned to look at Molos, staring at him expectantly, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Okay, I'll take you back after this is over."

Melos was caught off guard by Lin Xiyue's sudden request, but he quickly recovered, gave Lin Xiyue a deep look, and then smiled gently as he answered.

"Alright, now you can stay with your clone in peace. I'll take care of this matter completely. It's about time."

Meros raised his head and stared once more at the mountain of increasingly tall insect corpses, then turned to Lin Xiyue and gave her instructions.

After seeing Lin Xiyue nod to indicate that she understood, Moros felt relieved and stepped towards Fei Bo, who was tightly surrounded by Ling Ye and the others.

As Meros approached, Lingye and the others quickly moved aside, clearing a path for him to reach Feibo, allowing Meros to see Feibo directly without any obstruction.

At this moment, anyone could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Fei Bo's appearance.

He was tightly bound from head to toe, like a lamb to the slaughter, utterly powerless to resist.

Not only that, his mouth and eyes were also completely covered, leaving only his nose for breathing.

However, although Philip currently appears to be completely under someone's control, and on the surface there seems to be nothing particularly unusual about him.

However, what would immediately reveal the abnormality was his hands.

Those hands, starting from the fingertips, seemed to be eroded by something unknown, gradually revealing non-human characteristics.

The fingers, which were originally thin, were now as transparent as crystal, and the bones and blood vessels inside could be clearly seen through the translucent skin.

The color of her arms gradually changed, from dark to light, until they became completely transparent, as if they had disappeared into the air.

This bizarre change is chilling.

Meros walked slowly over, and when he saw this scene, a barely perceptible sigh appeared on his face.

He crouched down and gently reached out to touch Fei Bo's eyes, which had been covered all along.

His thin eyes showed no change the moment they saw the sunlight again.

They neither contracted like an ordinary person would when suddenly seeing light in the dark, nor did they react in any way; they simply spread out lifelessly, like the eyes of a dead person.

As Meros crouched down, Lingjiu followed suit and crouched down as well.

He stared intently into Fei Bo's thin eyes, becoming the second person to see this scene clearly.

They had all witnessed the changes in Fei Bo's hands, but since Meros had not yet arrived and had not expressed any opinion, they could only wait quietly for Meros to examine them.
