The atmosphere of Te Ceti planet often erupts with large and small vortices.
This is somewhat similar to Jupiter. Jupiter is a gaseous planet in the solar system. The storms on Jupiter are very huge. The largest storm is the famous Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a characteristic symbol on the surface of Jupiter and is the largest storm cyclone on Jupiter.
It is about 25,000 kilometers long and spans 12,000 kilometers up and down. It rotates counterclockwise every 6 Earth days and often rolls up cloud towers up to 8 kilometers high. The Great Red Spot has existed for at least 200 to 350 years, since astronomers first observed the storm in the 17th century.
It has changed color and shape but never completely disappeared.
So when he first came into contact with Planet Te, Shen Cong was worried about whether this was also a gaseous planet when he saw these whirlpools. Now he personally experienced this strong storm and deeply felt the fierce power of nature. This is one of the many miracles that the universe has evolved over hundreds of millions of years.
"The storm was very strong, and the soil on the surface was rolled up, but it was not strong enough to destroy the rock pillars. It seems that the rock pillars are also very eager for the storm. What is the relationship between this?"
The super-eight-knot gold cloak in a confinement shape was blown by the airflow before the storm came.
The faint blue mask flashes, and the sky-eye radar continues to extend, covering every detail in the surrounding area, waiting for the storm to come. Soon, the storm wall descended on Shen Cong's head with a devastating momentum. At this moment, the secret within the storm was also exposed to Shen Cong's eyes.
His light vision is blind, but his sky-eye radar is active in storms.
Everything within a dozen kilometers cannot escape his observation.
"So it turns out that there are life forms surviving in the storm. These life forms are what the rock pillars prey on... to be precise, they prey on each other."
Shen Cong saw that there were many rag-like living entities in the storm. These individuals ride on the extremely fast winds of the storm, sometimes opening up their ragged and leaky bodies, constantly advancing and climbing; sometimes shrinking into a ball, falling and changing direction. Like an ugly ghost in the wind.
Such ghosts in the wind are a bit ugly, but that doesn't prevent them from blending in well with the storm.
The way to catch food is also simple.
The rag creature rushed in front of the rock pillar, opened its body, and immediately wrapped the yellow ball of light. Then it tore from the rock pillar, climbed to the height of the storm with the yellow ball of light, and swallowed it silently.
The magma creature sprays magma material. After hitting the rag creature, it can immediately wrap and squeeze the rag creature into a ball, fall to the ground, and quickly merge into the ground.
Hunting and being hunted only take a moment.
The strong storm airflow not only did not hinder the hunting, but actually increased the speed of the hunting. In almost a blink of an eye, countless yellow light balls would be torn off, and countless rag creatures would be pulled into the ground.
Shen Cong raised his hand and grabbed a rag creature in his hand.
The rag creature is really like a tattered rag, with no eyes, ears, mouth, nose, wings, or limbs. It only has a thick cortex of varying thicknesses, and is filled with air bubbles.
"A rag creature, at least tens of meters in size. The composition of its body has been contaminated by metallic life. But it is not completely metallic life, but more of a non-metallic inorganic substance... Probably because of the T Ceti Galaxy Lack of metal results in insufficient development of metallic life.”
There are enough metals on the earth, so all living things are metalized in a short time.
The metal content here is relatively small, and the metallization speed and process of life are accordingly slowed down, and even incompletely developed. Otherwise, there should not be complete metal life for nearly twenty years.
Tear the rag creature apart and study its internal structure.
Shen Cong discovered: "There is no brain tissue, only simple 'muscle tissue' and a divine fire system. This is another low-level creature. Unfortunately, it is impossible to guess what this creature looked like before it was contaminated."
The magma creature was judged by Shen Cong to be an incompletely developed fire spirit and not an indigenous creature.
Rag creatures are more like indigenous creatures.
"Now that in addition to magma creatures, rag creatures have been discovered, it is time to establish a biological taxonomy of TE planets. Magma creatures are called magma elves, and rag creatures are called storm elves... even though they don't look the same at all." Elves are fictional creatures."
Shen Cong has read a lot of Western fantasy novels, and there are elves in them. They are also in the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, and there are elves in the game Warcraft.
Elves are beautiful and elegant creatures.
However, Shen Cong felt that elves have the word "spirit", which is more consistent with the spirit of fire, and is somewhat more trustworthy and elegant.
"The magma elves living underground, the storm elves living in the storm, the creatures on this planet have evolved in a completely different direction from the earth. It seems that it will take a long time for me to collect all the fire seed resources." Shen Cong added He did not feel frustrated, and was prepared to fight for a long time before coming.
What he fears most is the loss of direction on the path of evolution, not the effort required for evolution.
"It seems that this storm will not dissipate for a while. Me hunting the storm elves here will not be of much help to the overall situation. I should kill the magma elves as soon as possible, install the collector, and collect the fire particles. In the meantime, I will collect them again. With more than eight knots of gold, you can control more resources."
Super Eight Knot Gold is the most important resource, which is directly related to his strength.
Fire grains are the main resource used for evolution.
He doesn't need much activated metal, just enough for him to build a new sublight speed spacecraft.
…
The storm roared overhead.
Shen Cong continued to expand the magma channel, enough for him to advance to the underground magma area. This project did not last long. Today's Shen Cong is a cosmic fire more powerful than the Transformers, and digging the ground is a piece of cake.
After the tunnel is dug.
The body of the magma elf was immediately exposed to Shen Cong's eyes, which was a huge magma chamber. Feeling the rich fire energy and hostile resistance in the magma, Shen Cong plunged into it.
Entering the body of the magma elf, it is obvious that countless magma substances want to penetrate into his body and devour him.
Unfortunately, this is a useless effort.
Shen Cong kept wandering in the body of the magma elf, exploring how big the magma elf was and whether there was a core inside. This exploration really allowed him to discover many interesting phenomena.
It turns out that the magma elf is not a separate individual.
Instead, seven individuals were mixed together.
Each individual one is roughly the size of Shanghai, criss-crossing the ground.
There is an area rich in fire particles in the center of the magma elf's body. If given time, this area rich in fire particles might be able to evolve into a super brain, or a primitive fire. It was only a lack of metal and a certain condition that was not up to standard that slowed down this evolution.
"Very good, if you collect the area rich in fire particles, the magma elves will definitely die, and the rest of the collection work will be simple." Shen Cong did it as he said, and immediately devoured the area rich in fire particles.
After swallowing up the area where the fire particles are enriched, it can be clearly found that although the properties of the remaining magma material have not changed much, the fire particles in it are no longer entangled with each other and become dispersed particles.
At the same time, the resistance against Shen Cong also disappeared.
In other words, the magma elf has completely become the magma on the earth, which is simply magma that can absorb the energy of fire.
In the center area of each magma elf corpse, Shen Cong built a collector and a catalytic converter, and located the coordinates. Only then did Shen Cong leave the underground magma chamber where he had been swimming for nearly a week.
Exit the magma chamber.
The storm overhead continued, roaring and violent.
Many storm elves were flying among them, but unfortunately they had lost their prey. Those rock pillars could no longer grow, and the yellow ball of light could no longer appear.
