Soon, Luo Fan walked for about 400 meters and finally returned to the store.
“I remember that there should be some tools inside the supermarket…”
Then, he came into the supermarket and started rummaging.
“These knives are all intact and usable.”
Luo Fan found some unopened fruit knives in a corner of the supermarket. There were more than a dozen of them.
“My intestines can be armed with these fruit knives. In this way, with my spiked tails, there will be a total of twelve organs of attack.”
“No, that’s not right. My eight intestines shouldn’t be all armed with fruit knives.”
Luo Fan put down the fruit knives and started rummaging through the supermarket again.
After rummaging for a while, he found what he wanted.
A flashlight.
The rat hole was too dark. Luo Fan could not see anything inside.
His large eyeball had truly become useless.
“Fortunately, although this flashlight is somewhat deformed, it has not melted.”
Luo Fan tried it and could still turn it on.
“I’m almost done now. Just adding a stick will do.”
“But before that, I need to devour some more energy to modify my body.”
Currently, he was still not very big. He weighed only 2.5 kg, which converted to only 5 catties.
He was not even as heavy as a bag of apples.
“On those shelves, there should still be intact foam boxes.”
Luo Fan rolled his eyeball and looked at those foam boxes that were placed high up.
Then, Luo Fan started to act.
He found some relatively low places and used them to climb up.
The twelve tentacles collectively exerted strength and soon sent the eyeball to the top of the shelf.
Then, Luo Fan started to search around.
He searched everywhere.
Soon, he found an unopened container.
Luo Fan’s spiked tails opened the box, revealing what was inside.
“It’s bread!”
At this moment, Luo Fan realized that this store was not solely a seafood store. There were also all kinds of supplies stacked inside.
“So what if it’s bread? It is better than nothing.”
Luo Fan comforted himself with this, and then opened one and devoured it.
The energy contained in the bread naturally could not be compared to fish meat. However, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Luo Fan absorbed it without fuss.
The bread crumbs were sucked into his intestines by his needle-like mouthpieces.
More and more, Luo Fan felt that the needle-shaped mouthpiece was in the way and it was a struggle for him to absorb the bread.
“What I lack now is not just a mouth, but also hands.”
Luo Fan did not have a “hand” to use what he wanted to use. He only had eight intestines. Although they could be used, it was too “extravagant”.
In other words, the task which could have been completed with a “claw”, now required eight intestines.
Also, to use “tools”, hands would be more useful than needle-like mouthpieces.
As he had absorbed the bread, Luo Fan wondered if he should add a ” claw” to the tip of his intestines,
just on the outer layer of the needle-like mouthpiece, wrapping the needle-like mouthpiece.
In this way, when absorbing liquids, the needle-like mouthpiece could be used, and when encountering solids, the ‘claw’ could be used.
This idea lingered in Luo Fan’s mind. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
The energy absorbed from the bread was transmitted through Luo Fan’s body.
The bread would naturally not provide much energy to Luo Fan. He used the energy from the bread while mobilizing the energy in his energy storage cells.
The cells around the mouthpieces of the eight intestines began to split and grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Small fleshy strands were peeled off from around the mouthpieces and extended in growth.
These small fleshy strands gradually grew, and finally, after they had grown to a certain extent, they began to twine around each other and form together.
A webbed palm was created, and it looked like the sharp claw of a reptile. It looked extremely bizarre on these intestines.
Luo Fan had created for all eight intestines simultaneously, so it did not take too long.
It took two days to split out these eight claws.
However, time was of the least value to Luo Fan currently.
In these silent and lifeless ruins, the last thing he lacked was time.
“I don’t have a back in my current wretched state. Otherwise, it would be nice to stretch my back.”
Luo Fan moved his eight intestines and also got accustomed to his newly created claws.
These eight claws were all level-2 cells. When he created them, he also evolved them along the way.
As the claws on the eight intestines would be organs which Luo Fan would use more frequently, he naturally had to evolve them to prevent them from being damaged.
After the cells had evolved to level-2, they had immunity against all foreign pathogens, and they could also resist minor scratches.
“The claws have been created, but the mass has not increased much.”
Luo Fan looked around and then crawled toward the surrounding shelves.
A short while later, he found another intact, undamaged foam box.
The spiked tails opened the foam box with ease. Instead of bread, there were various kinds of snacks, such as chicken feet, duck tongues, and so on.
Luo Fan did not have any sense of taste. Even if these things still retained their original taste, he would not be able to taste them.
The eight intestines, each clutched an unopened bag of snacks.
His long, monster-like fingers easily slit open the bags.
Then, Luo Fan started to absorb the energy.
The energy from the breakdown of the snacks was all transmitted into Luo Fan’s body, and then it was used on the dividing cells.
He wanted to expand his body, or at least increase the mass.
As for the rat hole, it was not the most urgent matter now.
He had already investigated the situation inside. All he needed to do was to arm himself and he would be able to go ahead and explore again.
And now, he was increasing his strength.
The eyeball which was the size of a baby’s head was gradually becoming larger.
Another seven to eight days passed.
In fact, Luo Fan did not know how long he had been in this dark store. He had no concept of time when absorbing matter here.
At this moment, the eyeball was already the size of a balloon.
The overall mass had reached 5kg.
By usual proportion, his mass was the same as that of a watermelon of the same size.
“Now, I can go and explore that rat hole. I have eight intestines, and each of them has a weapon, plus the attack of the three spiked tails, I should be able to defeat that group of rats.”
Luo Fan puffed up his confidence and climbed down from the shelf.

There were eight intestines, and at the end of each intestine, there was a reptile’s claw. However, those claws were very slender and there were no palms. It was hollow where a palm would have been.
Each of the eight claws was holding a weapon.
Fruit knives, a stick, a flashlight.
Actually, Luo Fan had also found a fire ax, but with his current weight, he could not use it at all.
Luo Fan was fully armed, and he headed for the rat hole..
