"I seem to have seen the beauty of a demon's life in this crayfish," Justin said with his eyes wide open. Then, he reached out to break off the crayfish's head, and took a bite of the shiny crayfish brain. The fragrant crayfish butter filled his mouth, and sent his taste buds into a frenzy again. He didn't even let go of the crayfish shell.
Tuk, tuk, tuk.
With a series of tremors, a layer of gray rock on the surface of Justin's body fell off, and revealed a new grayish-black stone shell.
"This is? He succeeded in his first evolution? " Gemina, who wanted to give Justin a big slap, looked at Justin's new stone shell in astonishment. There was even a tinge of red in the grayish-black stone shell.
"He really changed his shell!" Ivan, who was reaching out his hand, was also stunned. He also looked at Justin in surprise. He was only 10 years old. According to convention, rock demons would only change their shells for the first time when they were 15 years old. Only a few geniuses would change their shells earlier.
"Changing my shell?" Justin didn't quite understand the meaning behind this. He clapped his hands to get rid of the mud powder, and reached out for the crayfish again. This crayfish was simply too delicious. It was such a blissful life to be able to eat such delicious food. It would be great if he could continue to be blissful.
"Could it be related to this crayfish?" Gemina and Ivan looked at each other. They were very clear about Justin's talent. Both of them only changed their stone shells for the first time when they were 15 or 16 years old. Their talent was very mediocre, and Justin didn't show any special talent since he was young. He was even clumsier than other children, so he couldn't be a genius.
Then, the only explanation was this crayfish that the new neighbor next door gave him.
They wouldn't believe that Justin suddenly changed his shell after eating a pincer and a crayfish skull had nothing to do with it.
"Mother, you should try it too. This grilled crayfish is really delicious." Justin broke off a piece of the fattest crayfish meat, and brought it to Gemina's mouth.
The fragrance of the crayfish meat wafted over at close range, and brought about endless temptation. Gemina, who wanted to push the crayfish meat away, opened her mouth involuntarily.
When the plump crayfish meat entered her mouth, her teeth that could easily crush rocks felt a special springiness. With a gentle bite, the fresh taste blossomed in her mouth. Her clumsy taste buds became unusually active, as if they wanted to taste every single taste and crazily catered to the blossoming of taste.
"This taste! How can there be such a wonderful taste in this world! " Gemina was shocked. The image of the giant sea turtle in her mind was crushed into a thin meat patty by a red lobster. Her body and mind were completely conquered by the crayfish after just one encounter.
"My sea turtle … sea turtle … the difference is too big …"
Gemina sighed. Compared to the crayfish, the turtle stew that she was so proud of didn't even deserve to be called food.
"Honey, give me another bowl of sea turtle soup. Today's soup is really delicious. I think your culinary skills have improved again," Ivan said to the disappointed Gemina as he handed over the big bowl with a chuckle.
Gemina looked up at Ivan, and saw the smile on his face. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and jokingly scolded, "Don't you have hands? Do you still need me to scoop it for you?" However, he still scooped up a large bowl of soup for Ivan and added a large turtle leg while he was at it.
"How is it, Mother? Isn't this crayfish super delicious?" Justin said to Gemina proudly. He finally proved that he was right. The food cooked by others was indeed better than his mother's. Sea turtle soup was the most disgusting thing in the world.
"Rascal, sea turtle soup is so delicious. There are so many demons in our tribe who are envious of it. This crayfish can only be a snack. Do you think you can eat it as a meal?" Ivan slapped Justin's head and shot him a few glances. His gaze also became a little more stern.
Justin's head slammed onto the table. Although it didn't hurt, tears of grievance were already welling up in his eyes. Looking at his parents who were like two mountains, he didn't dare to voice out his anger. He nodded sullenly, and said, "Sea turtle soup is really delicious."
"Eat it. Finish the rest." Gemina reached out to touch Justin's head, and passed the remaining half of the crayfish to him.
"Can I go on my way after I'm full?" Justin asked fearfully as he held the crayfish. There must be a reason for this abnormality. The contrast in his mother's attitude was too big.
"You don't want to eat it, right?" Gemina's face turned cold.
"I'll eat it!" Justin stuffed the crayfish meat and shell into his mouth, and chewed with great relish.
Justin finished the crayfish very quickly. He licked his hand as if he hadn't had enough. Unfortunately, there was only one crayfish, and it wasn't enough at all.
Gemina grabbed Justin's hand and looked at it seriously for a while. Compared to just now, the red on the grayish-white stone shell had become clearer. It was a little like the red on the crayfish's shell.
"It wasn't this hard when I changed my shell for the first time." Ivan also reached out to pinch the slightly protruding stone shell on Justin's back. He suddenly retracted his hand, and said in shock, "Why does it feel a little prickly? It's also a little numb. "
Gemina ignored him, and instead asked Justin, "Justin, do you feel anything special after changing your shell?" Justin nodded, and said, "What do you feel like?"
"Feel?" Justin stood up and clenched his fists. "It seems like my strength has increased?"
"Give it a try with a punch." Gemina pointed at the giant rock that was almost as tall as a human standing in the courtyard. That rock was what they used to train Justin. It was filled with holes left by his fists.
Justin walked over and took a deep breath. Then, he clenched his fist and punched the rock.
"Crack."
With a soft sound, a crack appeared on the giant rock with his fist as the center. The crack expanded rapidly, and the giant rock was split into two before crashing to the ground.
"H-how did I become so powerful?" Justin looked at the giant rock that he smashed with his fist in disbelief.
"You have indeed reached the strength of your first shell change, and this layer of stone shell seems to have mutated a little," Ivan said with a smile as he looked at the giant rock.
"That's great. Our son is going to become a rare genius among the rock trolls," Gemina exclaimed in surprise. Mutated stone shells were extremely rare among the rock trolls. Once it appeared, it would leave its name in the history of the rock trolls.
"Genius?" Justin was taken aback, and said with uncertainty, "Didn't you guys always say that I'm a rare idiot among the rock trolls?"
"Could Justin's sudden evolution be related to this crayfish?" Ivan raised his doubts and speculations again.
"That's possible." Gemina nodded. If eating turtle soup could help one evolve, then he wouldn't have waited until today to evolve.
Justin said with determination, "In order to verify your thoughts, I'm willing to eat crayfish every day until I'm full!"
