Chapter 423 Sudden Evolution
After the size of the cluster is reduced, the will of the mother nest will also be weakened, which is reflected in the macro data as a decrease in intelligence.
By extension, if the intelligence attribute (mother nest will) of a cluster is less than 4 points, it will never split.
On the contrary, if a cluster splits into two, and the intelligence attribute of each sub-cluster is greater than 4 points, it has the potential to continue to split.
One is divided into two, two is divided into four, four is divided into eight... and so on, until the intelligence of the smallest sub-cluster is less than 4 points.
Under normal circumstances, after the hungry ghost cluster splits, it can be reunited, and the size, vitality and intelligence attributes are restored to their original state.
But there are exceptions.
If a hungry ghost cluster has an intelligence attribute of exactly 4 points.
Then after the split, the intelligence attribute of each sub-cluster is less than 1 point, usually represented by a horizontal bar (-).
In this case, two sub-clusters with almost zero intelligence can no longer merge autonomously.
After all, if the intelligence is too low, it will not be able to recognize that merging with the same kind can bring benefits to itself, and it will only survive alone by instinct.
In addition, the Hungry Ghost Cluster has a more perverted ability called "devouring all living things".
When the Hungry Ghost Cluster devours living things, it can absorb the life force of the victim to restore its own HP and integrate the victim's bones into the cluster.
The more lives it devours, the larger the size of the Hungry Ghost Cluster becomes, and the life dice will continue to increase.
When the size increases by one level, the Hungry Ghost Cluster will evolve, and the agility attribute and intelligence attribute (mother nest will) will be additional +2.
If the Hungry Ghost Cluster is provided with sufficient food, it will continue to devour living beings like a snowball and expand its own scale. It will eventually evolve to a super giant size with 20 life dice, reaching the level of a "quasi-legendary" monster, posing a devastating threat to all living things!
That is not an opponent that Gao Fei and others are capable of solving.
After reading the analysis report, Gao Fei's heart could not calm down for a long time.
No wonder Hong Debiao is so rampant.
Judging from the Hungry Ghost Cluster he created with his own hands, this madman does have the capital to be arrogant!
If he were given a different era or a different country, Hong Debiao might really realize his crazy ambition and become the master of one side.
Just like those artists who are talked about with great relish, madness may be the external manifestation of Hong Debiao's talent for summoning spirits, but this talent also damages his mind.
If he is not so crazy and arrogant, he should use the hungry ghost cluster more carefully, find a safe place, hide and slowly develop his power.
It is not too late to come out and do things until the hungry ghost cluster evolves to its peak state.
Instead of throwing out this trump card casually like now, it ends up in vain.
Of course, this kind of thing is always difficult to have both.
If Hong Debiao is a rational person with a normal brain, I am afraid he will not be able to awaken the powerful summoning ability.
At this time, Gao Fei and his teammates all received the reward prompt sent by the star disk.
The five people joined forces to kill the hungry ghost cluster of challenge level 8 and shared 3900 experience points.
Wang Daqing and Ma Tao each got 400 points.
Gao Fei got 600 points.
Jiang Feng was the main output, and he got 1,200 points.
The MVP of this battle was undoubtedly Wu Xiaoqian, who got the highest experience points of 1,300 points in the team.
These are just appetizers.
The additional reward for reporting the Hungry Ghost Cluster is the main course!
According to the triple reward, Gao Fei's team received 11,700 experience points per person!
Too much, too much!
It was so cool, right? !
Just when Gao Fei and others were overjoyed, Wu Xiaoqian suddenly raised her hand to her forehead and her body shook.
Jiang Feng hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Sister Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, just a little dizzy..."
Before she finished speaking, Wu Xiaoqian tilted her head and fainted in Jiang Feng's arms.
Gao Fei hurried over to touch her forehead, and it was hot to the touch!
"Sister Wu seems to have a high fever. Could it be that the air in the ancient tomb is too turbid, and she inhaled germs or something, and suddenly had an emergency?"
Jiang Feng guessed worriedly.
She applied "qi therapy" to Wu Xiaoqian, trying to detoxify and cure the disease, but it was useless.
Wu Xiaoqian still had her eyes closed and was unconscious.
"Brother Fei, Sister Wu is not sick. The reason why she suddenly fell into a coma is because her superpowers have entered the evolution stage."
Ma Tao pointed at the star plate and said.
Gao Fei was reminded by him and quickly opened the star plate to check Wu Xiaoqian's status panel.
Sure enough, in the health status column, he found the mark "coma (evolving)".
This matter is actually not complicated.
In the final analysis, it was because Wu Xiaoqian gained too much experience points at once, and her life dice jumped directly from 8HD to 10HD!
After Wu Xiaoqian was promoted twice, she just crossed the evolution threshold of mutants. Most of her physiological functions prioritized evolution, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and temporarily falling into a coma.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Xiaoqian will wake up on her own after sleeping for a while.
By then, she will have successfully evolved from a "developmental" mutant to a "mature" mutant.
The problem is that Gao Fei and the others don't know how long she will be in a coma.
The safest plan is to stay here and watch over Wu Xiaoqian until she wakes up.
However, everyone is worried about Wu Xianyun who was kidnapped by Hong Debiao.
If Crazy Hong escapes while everyone is here, or even kills Old Man Wu, this arrest will be a complete failure!
After discussing it, everyone agreed that time is running out and there is no time to waste!
So Gao Fei carried the sleeping Wu Xiaoqian on his back, and accompanied by three teammates, he went deep into the ancient tomb to continue hunting Hong Debiao!
Wu Xianyun's injured right arm dripped blood in the tomb passage, providing a tracking mark for the winged cat with a keen sense of smell.
Hu Zi explored the way ahead, and Gao Fei and his party followed closely, following the blood trail to choose the fork in the tomb passage.
After walking out of the maze-like underground tomb group for about half an hour, Hu Zi suddenly stopped and squatted in front of a closed stone door of the tomb chamber and meowed.
Gao Fei came to Hu Zi with Wu Xiaoqian on his back and observed the closed stone door.
"Xiao Fei, why did Hu Zi stop?" Wang Daqing asked.
"The blood trail disappeared in front of the door." Gao Fei answered in a low voice.
"That is to say, Hong Debiao took Mr. Wu hostage and entered this tomb, and then closed the stone door." Jiang Feng guessed.
"It seems to be so, but it is inconsistent with Hong Debiao's previous behavior." Ma Tao said, touching his chin, "All the tombs he broke into before had their doors open. Why did he suddenly develop the good habit of closing the doors? I suspect there is a trick here: either it is a deliberate attempt to confuse us, or it is a hidden trap to deliberately lure us into the tomb."
"Your worries are reasonable, but the bloodstains disappeared from here, and there are no other clues. If we don't enter this tomb, where can we go to track down Hong Debiao next?"
Jiang Feng's question left Ma Tao speechless.
