BXBX NOVEL Chapter 917 Failed Experiment 347
A humanoid wasp covered in strange grayish-brown material that covered her entire body. Her wings flapped loudly, filling the entire room with an accursed sound. Lee Seng and Keng were the first to cover their ears. The teenage wasp fleshed her hands, growing sharp claws and swinging at Lee Seng. Keng blasted the fluttering girl and ran for Lee Seng.
Lee Seng spun around, absorbing the humanoid monster\'s form in its entirety. A hungry smile grew on her face as she balanced herself. Her legs were thin, turning into strange pointed objects that resembled stingers. The wasp girl\'s arms morphed back into regular arms and hands. She raised her sharp finger to her mouth and licked her lips.
"Oh, how lucky I am to find, not one, but two Foxes!" The humanoid wasp shrieked with excitement. She put both of her hands together and clacked her sharp fingers against each other. "I was told I had to bring one Fox back, so I guess I\'ll eat one of you!" The wasp flew straight for them, arms growing into sharp stingers as she jabbed. Lee Seng and Keng threw themselves in opposite directions. Lee Seng slammed through a wall while Keng flew into the staircase.
The humanoid wasp turned to Lee Seng and licked her stinger before attacking him. Lee Seng bobbed left, watching the humanoid wasp attack with its other stinger arm. Lee Seng ducked, watching the left stinger turn into sharp claws, swiping for his head. A gravity blast knocked the wasp out of hitting Lee Seng, sending her flying behind him.
"Run!" Keng shouted.
Lee Seng rushed for the door as the fluttering grew louder. A shriek came from the wings, causing everyone to cover their ears and howl in pain. The wasp flew forward, raking its claws into his back. Lee Seng spun around, swinging his arm and missing the wasp as she moved out of the way. Lee Seng hissed in pain as his back began to burn. He arched forward, reaching for his back.
"It looks like the poison has taken its effect." The humanoid wasp laughed. "It\'s a shame I had to hurt you… but Mother said to bring you to her without killing you… She didn\'t say I could have my way with you or your other pal!" The humanoid wasp flew forward, hitting a strange starry wall. The stars shot off the wall, destroying the room.
\'Go!\' Lee Seng telepathically shouted.
"But–" Keng began to say when Rituka grabbed Keng and rushed down the right. Liz, Evan, Olivia and Jiro followed after, turning to look at Lee Seng.
"Don\'t worry about me! I\'m gonna call pest control and kill this annoying bug!" Lee Seng shouted. Olivia and the others nodded, following Ritsuka and Jiro.
"Lee! Lee!" Keng shouted, trying to pull away. "He needs me! Let me go! I-I\'ll blink if I have to!"
"Keng, you need to show us where the control rooms are!" Ritsuka shouted. A large object caught their attention.
"I\'ll handle this!" Jiro moved past Ritsuka and collided with the tall fleshy humanoid.
"Oh, look here… It seems like more food has come my way." The fleshy humanoid spoke slowly. Jiro gritted his teeth, pushing the humanoid into the wall as Ritsuka tugged on Keng.
"Where we going?!?" Ritsuka asked Keng. Keng tightened his jaw and pulled Ritsuka left, leading the group away from the chaos. The tall fleshy humanoid pushed Jiro backwards and pulled himself out of the wall. He brushed himself as Jiro raised his longsword.
"Someone with high energy…" The tall fleshy monster raised his right arm up, blocking his face with his mouth. "Let me introduce myself… I am Failed Experiment 529…"
The humanoid wasp swung her arm outwards, blowing the smoke away. Stars embedded themselves into her with no physical reaction. The humanoid wasp\'s smile faded as her eyes grew dark red.
"You\'re making it hard for me…" The wasp\'s voice shook. She covered the right side of her face, revealing a number on the left side of her face. "Prepare to fight me for I am Failed Experiment 347."
\'A failed experiment?\' Lee Seng managed to think before the wasp disappeared from her spot and pierced her stinger leg into Lee Seng\'s left arm. Lee Seng howled in pain as 347 pulled her stinger out and swung her opposite leg at Lee Seng\'s head. Lee Seng\'s body exploded, pushing 347 away from him.
347 flew at Lee seng, jabbing her transformed arms at Lee seng. He rolled out of the way, listening to it embed itself into the floor. Sun blade grew in his right hand as he slashed for 347. The blade ignited, hitting 347 with a resounding clanking noise.
\'It\'s too tough even with imbued Dark Matter.\' Lee Seng darted for the hallway entrance. 347\'s wings moved faster, erasing the annoying noise. 347 appeared in front of Lee Seng, plunging her leg stinger into him. Lee Seng gasped loudly as she pulled away and swung for his head.
//A deep force within you is awakening…//
Lee Seng ducked and swung the sword upwards, planting his feet like he had done a million times before. Flames and gravity ripped from the sword\'s arc, pushing 347 away from him.
Everything around Lee Seng shook as he fell on his knee. His grip tightened around the sword as the hole burned like his back. It took everything for Lee Seng to fight the pain. The hole in Lee Seng\'s leg instantly healed with the scratches in his back. He huffed, pushing himself up and stumbling as he leaned forward.
//Embrace what has always been there//
"Oho…! So you can heal." 347 observed. "But it doesn\'t look like you can withstand the poison!" 347 flew forward, jabbing her arm stinger at the Creator\'s son. Flames ignited across Lee Seng\'s arms and back. He raised his head up, watching the wasp disappear. Everything inside Lee Seng squirmed. He could feel the tendrils wanting out.
\'Fine.\' Lee Seng thought. \'There\'s not use in holding back anyways. A wasp needs to die.\' Lee Seng\'s entire body erupted in tendrils, catching 347\'s stinger. 347 tried to pull away, meeting another tendril. Tendrils swarmed her body as Lee Seng\'s form shifted into something less human.
347\'s body resonated, shaking every fiber in her entire body. The tendrils exploded into tiny tendrils on the ground while Lee Seng\'s main body sloshed together.
\'What\'s this feeling?\' 347 wondered. She lifted her head and looked at Lee Seng. \'Why does he feel so familiar? Why doesn\'t he look at all like a Fox?\'
//K1L7//
The glob of Lee Seng flew forward, letting the tendrils fly outwards. 347 dodged out of the way, only to hear Dark Matter bubbling to her left. Tendrils exploded out of the wall, hitting 37 and pinning her onto the ground.
[Unique Secret Skill: F4173D has met its conditions.]
\'I see.\' Lee Seng managed to think. He pulled himself towards 347, forming a leg that kept the girl in place.
"You are Failed." 347 managed to speak. "You\'re one of us!"
"I\'m not like one of you!" Lee Seng pushed on 347\'s chest. 347 cackled as purple blood spilled from the corners of her cheeks.
"You are the next step!" 347 continued. "You are the piece of the puzzle that\'ll bind all of us together! You\'re Brood Mother\'s prophesied person!" Lee Seng\'s body formed itself. Nine Fox tails sprouted behind him while the tendrils intermingled with them. He wore a living tendril suit that made itself small for its master. "You\'re the missing piece! That\'s why she needs you!"
"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about. That isn\'t me." Lee Seng spoke. He pushed down hard, listening to 347\'s body crack.
"We\'ll all become one with the prophesied one…" 347 whispered.
"Prophesied?" Lee Seng repeated back to 347.
"You will absorb all… You will–"
Crack!
Lee Seng felt the warm purple blood grow around his foot as it hit the floor. "Yeah, that\'s not happening."
[Unique Secret Skill: F4173D will be devoured and given to other skills. Is this okay?]
"Do it." Lee Seng ordered.
"What\'re you doing?" 347\'s eyes widened. She watched as the Failed energy faded away. She watched a heavenly aura wrap around Lee Seng. He pulled his foot out of her and put it on her neck. "W-what\'re you–"
Crack!
[Failed Experiment 347 has been slain. You\'ve gained the Stinger of the Failed.]
"Devour it." Lee Seng lifted his leg and kicked the air. The purple blood burned his shoe away, revealing socks that were quickly succumbing to the same fate. Lee Seng\'s heavenly aura wrapped around his feet, covering it. He stood on his wrapped barefoot and pulled the other shoe and sock off.
[All skills have been boosted further!]
[Devouring the Stinger of the Failed has boosted your poison resistance.]
Lee Seng turned and brushed himself off. "I\'m good with being me. Thanks for letting that out." He looked at 347\'s crushed body before heading for the exit. "Now… let\'s find the others."
