347: Source Insect? Gu Qingyuan!
It seemed as if Gu Qinghan's aura was sensed, and the little boy slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Gu Qinghan, he suddenly climbed out of bed, put his hands on his hips, and asked, "How is it? Were you scared by me?"
Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched. If he still didn't know who this thing was at this point, then he would truly be a fool.
"You... why can you transform into my appearance, and even run naked in my room..."
Gu Qinghan suppressed the urge to give Source Worm a good beating, squeezing these two sentences through gritted teeth.
Source Worm, who had transformed into the little boy's appearance, laughed heartily and continued, hands on hips, "I've always been able to change my appearance; I just didn't want to before.
But your words ignited my fighting spirit. I admire you greatly now, so I changed based on your appearance."
As he spoke, a certain part of his body also swayed, causing veins to pop out on Gu Qinghan's forehead.
"Change back," Gu Qinghan took a deep breath.
"Huh? Why? Isn't this good?"
Source Worm was puzzled, turning in circles to examine his body.
"If you don't change back, I'll feed you poop exclusively from now on."
Gu Qinghan's voice carried a threat; he found Source Worm's appearance truly too awkward.
But Source Worm shook his head, saying regretfully, "Not now. The ability to change my appearance isn't always available; it'll take some time.
Actually, I also think this isn't as handsome as my original form, so let's just make do for now."
Five minutes later, Gu Qinghan had Source Worm under his foot, and only after exhaling deeply did his mood calm down slightly.
Under his severe interrogation, Source Worm still couldn't change back to his previous form.
After some thought, Gu Qinghan threw a set of children's clothes to Source Worm, telling him to put them on, and at the same time said, "You must wear clothes from now on, understand?
If you ever appear naked in front of others again, I promise I will kill you."
Source Worm crawled up from the ground, his face bruised and swollen, and nodded. Under Gu Qinghan's instruction, he quickly put on the clothes.
As he dressed, he asked, "Now that I've become like this, shouldn't you give me a name?"
Gu Qinghan gave him a sideways glance: "What do you want to be called?"
"Just call me 'Dad.' I've noticed everyone in Whale Fall City calls 'Dad' with great respect."
A minute later, Source Worm patted the dust off his clothes and climbed up from the ground.
He glanced at the tightly clenched fists of Gu Qinghan and honestly said, "You give me one, but I want to have your surname."
Gu Qinghan didn't hit him this time. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then let's call you Gu Qingyuan. It's fitting, since you are a Source Worm."
Source Worm thought about it, wanted to say something, but wisely kept his mouth shut.
Seeing Source Worm, who had become much more obedient, Gu Qinghan finally asked, "How is it? Is there Dragon Power in those corpses?"
This was what he cared about most. If there really was Dragon Power inside, then it meant the prophecy would surely come true.
Gu Qingyuan nodded, then extended his left hand, and a constantly changing ball of energy slowly appeared on it.
This energy was cyan, but the aura it exuded was full of destruction, arrogance, and tyranny.
When this energy appeared, Gu Qinghan felt as if a giant beast was watching him.
"This is one type. There's also another kind of energy refined from some others."
Gu Qingyuan extended his other hand, and a pale yellow energy gradually appeared on it.
However, the aura of this energy ball was identical to the cyan one; the only difference seemed to be the color.
"Two kinds of Dragon Power?"
Gu Qinghan's brows gradually furrowed. Could it be that Dragon Power wasn't just one kind?
Gu Qingyuan tossed the two energy balls in his hands and said, "Actually, there should be more than just these two. When you were using your tentacles, I also sensed similar power."
Gu Qinghan was stunned. Tentacles... wasn't that Deaths Touch?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in Gu Qinghan's mind.
When Mutated Creatures disappeared on a large scale before, the Mutated Creatures in the sea were in the same situation.
However, at that time, some Mutated Cuttlefish had attacked him, and the earth-shattering battle between Deep Sea Tentacle and that Giant Whale was still fresh in his memory.
According to Chu Tian's information, these Mutated Creatures might have obtained Dragon Power and were fusing this power through slumber.
So, had the Deep Sea Tentacle already awakened from its slumber back then?
Then, the Giant Whale that could defeat Deep Sea Tentacle must also be one of those who awakened from slumber!
Gu Qinghan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If all these conjectures were true, then why hadn't those Mutated Cuttlefish gone into slumber?
Mysteries, there were mysteries everywhere, once again dimming Gu Qinghan's good mood that had just cleared up his confusion.
After some thought, a conical black object suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qinghan.
This was a section of a tentacle that he had just made Deaths Touch sever itself, only the very tip.
Deaths Touch's regeneration ability was terrifying; this injury was not worth mentioning at all.
"See if you can devour the energy within this. I need to verify some conjectures."
Gu Qinghan said to Gu Qingyuan, who also nodded seriously.
After transforming into human form, Gu Qingyuan no longer needed to rely on that black hole or biting to devour energy.
He simply withdrew the two energy balls and then placed his hand on that severed tentacle.
The tentacle quickly shrank, then became shriveled, and finally transformed into a ball of black energy that drilled into his hand.
A moment later, Gu Qingyuan spread his right hand, revealing a faint trace of light blue energy.
The same tyranny, the same arrogance, and again, the same aura filled with destruction.
"Does it represent the power of various elements? Wood, Earth, Water?"
Seeing this scene, Gu Qinghan finally confirmed his conjecture.
Different Mutated Creatures obtained different Dragon Power.
Some of them died in this process, but there were also some powerful existences that had already awakened.
But more, were still in slumber!
"Can you temporarily store these energies now?" Gu Qinghan noticed Gu Qingyuan's action of putting away the energy just now.
"Yes, after all, my body is quite a bit larger now," Gu Qingyuan nodded.
"Then can these energies be converted into honeydew?"
Gu Qinghan had no desire to sleep at all. He had been trying his best to become stronger, but the stronger he became, the more powerless he felt.
"I don't know, I'll try."
Gu Qingyuan took out the cyan energy ball, making it slowly rotate in his hand.
Within this energy ball, it was as if a winged giant beast was roaring, resisting Gu Qingyuan's power.
Gu Qingyuan's face turned pale, and his hands trembled, clearly showing some fear.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he directly increased his strength, gradually compressing this energy ball.
Gu Qinghan watched all this. He realized that this power was not a gift bestowed by gods for a game.
This was the power of powerful beings from another world; this was the power belonging to the Dragon.
This power inherently carried an arrogance, tyrannical yet possessing sufficient destructive force.
A moment later, Gu Qingyuan, drenched in sweat, threw a cyan honeydew to Gu Qinghan: "It's done!"
