The white monster's ability to express itself was very poor. After all, it had never experienced a lot of human soap operas like Xavier, and its grasp of human language was very limited.
However, even so, with just the few words spoken by the white monster, a clear picture naturally emerged in Lin Xi's mind - inorganic appearance, ghostly movements, and hemispherical machinery. There are slender metal tentacles connected to the bottom of the brain, which look like some kind of metallic jellyfish made of metal and organic materials...
It's just that jellyfish in nature look lazy and cute, but that kind of metal jellyfish will only make Lin Xi tremble uncontrollably.
Especially at this moment, the instinctive fear in the white monster's heart was being transmitted to the depths of the latter's soul along the weak connection between it and Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's face gradually turned pale.
The next moment, Lin Xi's vision was blurry. At this moment, some fragmented fragments pierced into his mind like fragments of glass.
It was a bionic man with a terrifying appearance, whose surface was beginning to rot. The constantly flashing electronic eyes were filled with cold brilliance. It stood beside Lin Xi and put a bomb into Lin Xi's extremely painful wound...
That was the scene where Hal tried to kill Lin Xi with a bomb.
The sudden memory of this scene gave Lin Xi a strong shock. The severe pain and fear of death completely overwhelmed him like a tide.
"No-"
Lin Xi staggered back and suddenly shuddered.
He knew that he had to find a way to control himself, but at this moment, the fear and disgust were so strong—so strong that it seemed that even his blood vessels and internal organs were being burned by flames. The spreading fierce emotions made Lin Xi almost lose it. Control of body and mind.
It can be said that his previous near-death experience completely violated "His" survival instinct, which made Lin Xi's reaction instantly become extremely intense.
Behind him, the pair of thin membrane wings with no ability to fly suddenly unfolded. Lin Xi's pupils expanded, occupying the entire eye socket, and then, a mournful low cry burst out from his chest.
That was Lin Xi, but that was also "His" will, which could not help but summon its own family members and heirs.
Almost at the same moment, Lin Xi's pain also infected Xavier... and the white deformed mutant.
In the cave, the interconnected spirits between the three of them aroused a strong resonance.
"Click—"
Under the feet of the little white monster, the ground suddenly broke into pieces. That was because extremely sharp and sharp nails suddenly sprouted from its toes, and those nails were easily nailed into the extremely hard rock layer.
As a stunted alien species, it would never have been able to possess such great strength, and it would never have been able to develop such sharp nails.
However, under the protection of Lin Xi's constantly stirring mental power, its body, which had been stagnant in a deformed state, gradually began to change - although the symptoms were very slight, it did start its own evolution at this moment.
On the other side, Xavier's wings began to become thicker and thicker visible to the naked eye. The carapace covering the legs and back initially became gray, and then cracks appeared on the surface.
Xavier suddenly rushed towards the rock wall, and using the rough rock wall, he directly scraped off the rapidly aging carapace on the surface of his body. The new carapace became thicker, and Xavier's body became larger than before. Just by shedding its skin, it easily cut countless rough scratches on the rock wall of the cave. At the same time, the sound of a large number of stones and gravel falling down also brought Lin Xi back to his senses, who was in a state of mental shock.
He let out a painful cry and took several deep breaths before slowly straightening up.
"You guys... I'm sorry... I can't control myself... "
Lin Xi gasped weakly and asked about the conditions of the other two in the cave.
He easily saw the changes that happened to Xavier and the white alien species.
But this change did not surprise Lin Xi—his subconscious had long known that these changes were coming.
In fact, when the mother of alien species feels unsafe, it is originally a characteristic of dark creatures like alien species to trigger the evolution of the body through spiritual resonance.
While speaking, Lin Xi suddenly choked up.
—There was an unspeakable emptiness in his body.
Vague, hot impulses ignited fire inside his body.
Before Lin Xi had time to figure out what was going on, he found a focused gaze falling on him.
When he turned around, he met Xavier's concerned gaze.
Xavier, which has undergone a round of molting, is much more colorful than before. In addition to changes in body shape, its wings have also undergone some significant changes. For example, its pair of wings that were originally hidden under the carapace are now covered with Many circular markings.
Those markings are now expanding and contracting, indicating that Xavier is also in a state of excitement.
It was at this time that Lin Xi suddenly remembered that Xavier had seen those terrible things before...
According to Xavier's account, on the day the Helios exploded, it was almost cut into tiny pieces by the mechanical warriors.
Lin Xi knew that the situation at that time must have been quite terrifying, because when Xavier recounted the situation to him, Lin Xi could actually feel the fear in Xavier's heart... That dark emotion followed the spiritual connection between them. , poured into Lin Xi's body continuously.
Yes, Lin Xi and Xavier both have the same feeling towards those mechanical warriors, which is extreme disgust and deep fear.
But at this time, Xavier's performance was somewhat beyond Lin Xi's expectations.
Xavier experienced an intense emotional resonance. Lin Xi was very sure that his emotions must have been infected by Xavier, but now Lin Xi stared at Xavier's face, and he found that he did not see even a trace of fear in Xavier. On the contrary... Xavier's eyes His pupils were bright, and the luster on his body became brighter and brighter.
This makes it appear particularly aggressive and powerful.
"do not be afraid."
Under Lin Xi's gaze, the tentacles on Xavier's head trembled slightly.
A flash of pale pink neon shines through the center of the circular patch on the wing.
"look… "
Xavier said to Lin Xi dryly.
"I'm stronger now than before. I've evolved. I can tear them into pieces... Now I can protect Lin Xi."
Compared with the villain lines it recited before, what it said to Lin Xi now seemed particularly clumsy and funny because of its incomprehensible words and stammering.
But what happened was that these words that Xavier said solemnly made the fear in Lin Xi's body instantly turn into smoke.
Yes, he is no longer the one who was lying helpless on the ground and could only let the android humiliate and kill him.
He no longer has to worry about breaking an appointment with someone.
Now, Xavier is by his side, and he even has a new companion, a new Familia...
Lin Xi turned his attention to the white monster at the edge of the cave.
The white monster was curling up its body and looking at its toes.
It tapped its forelimbs on the ground curiously, studying the cracks.
The appearance was still so ugly and terrifying, but now when Lin Xi looked at this white monster, the tenderness and pity for it in her heart became even stronger.
He knew very well that if it hadn't been for this white monster, he might have died under the android's bomb long ago, although until this moment, he still didn't know how it did it.
"We should go back to the Helios and see what's going on."
After calming down, Lin Xi thought for a moment and then said.
"go back?"
Xavier turned his head and looked at him.
Lin Xi could understand its confusion - knowing that those troublesome mechanical monsters appeared in the spacecraft, Lin Xi still wanted to go back to that place to investigate.
This may lead to danger.
"...The appearance of those mechanical warriors is so strange. If I remember correctly, the damn androids should think that I am dead. After all, no one can survive such an explosion. But we all know that today's Helios There are no humans left inside.
Why would a mechanical warrior suddenly return to the Helios after such a long time? Are they checking there? Or... is there anything else out there worth checking again? "
Rather than saying that Lin Xi was explaining to Xavier, it would be better to say that he was actually mumbling to himself.
Thinking that there might be something worth paying attention to in the ruins of the Helios, Lin Xi subconsciously felt a little nervous.
He even planned to rush back to the Helios directly—
However, when Lin Xi looked outside the cave, the purple night came into his eyes.
The extremely silent night represents not only tranquility, but also extreme danger.
Soon, the impulse in Lin Xi's heart turned into calm.
Lin Xi knew very well that for the sake of safety, it was best for him to wait until dawn before going back.
After hearing Lin Xi's decision, Xavier moved the tentacles above his head without leaving any trace.
Lin Xi glanced at it and found that Xavier seemed a little more excited than before.
"I think you should take a break first."
Xavier said seriously.
But before Lin Xi answered it, it could not wait to return to Lin Xi's bedside.
Obviously, Xavier is still thinking about sleeping with Lin Xi as he promised before.
It has to be said that, as a little insect, Xavier's intentions are as simple as ever.
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.
For a brief moment his chest seemed to feel lighter.
"Lin Xi?"
Seeing Lin Xi standing at the entrance of the cave staring at him, Xavier adjusted his posture without leaving any trace, so that his beautiful new carapace and the markings on his wings could be displayed in front of Lin Xi to the greatest extent.
Then it looked at Lin Xi eagerly.
Of course Lin Xi didn't want Xavier to be disappointed, although the human part in his heart still reminded him that his behavior was a bit strange... But in the end, he returned to the bedside according to Xavier's wishes, and he and Xavier interacted with each other. Lying down snuggled up.
However, even if he and Xavier returned to bed, the atmosphere in the cave was still completely different from before.
At least it would be difficult to recreate the charming and intimate atmosphere between him and Xavier.
After all, both he and Xavier were somewhat concerned about the new individual that appeared in the cave...the white alien species.
Xavier's murderous intention was constantly rippling and rising from beginning to end, without any intention of retreating.
Lin Xi patted Xavier's carapace and sighed silently.
Fortunately, Xavier still obeyed Lin Xi's words as always. Even if he was so angry that his fangs were exposed, he still did not directly attack the white monster in front of Lin Xi.
... But from another aspect, the intimidating aura on it has not relaxed at all. It is still so cold and powerful.
As the mother of alien species, Lin Xi will not be oppressed or infected by Xavier's aura.
But as the queen of all alien species, Lin Xi's instinct told him that the strong suppression at the individual level exuded by Xavier would definitely make the fragile white monster feel very bad.
Lin Xi was not wrong.
Not long after, he took another look at the deformed alien.
He was not surprised to see that the little white monster was trembling with fear. If it were a human, it would probably be crying by now.
Even its originally pale skin looked a little darker now.
This makes the white monster look like some kind of alien ghost...
Compared with the brightly colored Xavier, its flaws are indeed very conspicuous.
After all, even when it's emotional or life-threatening, it doesn't have any color on it.
Lin Xi even felt very strange, why didn't the little white monster just leave the cave
After all, now it is directly threatened by life.
The alien world is hierarchical and cruel.
This can be seen from the fact that when Lin Xi was unconscious before, he almost caught this monster and used it as his own nutritious meal.
If it weren't for Lin Xi still possessing human reason at this moment, and Xavier's IQ being extremely high, and being willing to follow Lin Xi's instructions, deformed and stunted individuals like the little white monster would have been killed by the Mother of Alien Species long ago. Eaten, or executed by Xavier.
It doesn't even need to piss off Xavier or the Mother of All - its very existence is a flaw.
Any smarter alien would know to avoid such danger and intimidation. But no matter how confused Lin Xi was, the little white monster still stayed in the dark cave with incomprehensible stubbornness.
Although in Lin Xi's opinion, this white monster was so scared that even its tentacles were about to fall off.
Under Lin Xi's gaze, the white monster seemed to notice something.
It slowly, slowly moved to one side.
Lin Xi soon discovered that it was hiding in the pile of debris in the corner without leaving a trace.
The numerous debris that Xavier piled up in that position could well cover up the conspicuous white body, and at the same time, it could also avoid Xavier's intensely threatening gaze from time to time.
However, the white monster may indeed be too scared. Just when it was trembling and squirming, trying to hide in the pile of debris, a book was knocked down from the pile of debris. "Pop." "It fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xavier was quietly lifting his body, trying to press closer to Lin Xi.
Xavier: "..."
Lin Xi: "..."
"Hiss..."
The next second, Xavier jumped up and roared in disgust at the little white monster.
"Xavier, don't do this."
Lin Xi had to hold down Xavier's body hard.
He let out a long sigh, then slowly moved down from the bed and walked towards the little monster who was already stunned.
"You... forget it, just find a corner and take a rest..."
Lin Xi came to the white monster and said with a headache.
"You'd better not appear in front of Xavier first."
Otherwise, Lin Xi was really worried that Xavier would secretly kill this little monster while he was sleeping.
The little monster clearly heard Lin Xi's words. It snorted a few times, and then slowly moved a few steps to the side.
It moved very slowly, and Lin Xi noticed that it would look at the book on the ground from time to time.
The white alien's red eyes sparkled with extreme curiosity.
"This is… "
Lin Xi's eyes followed the little white monster and landed on the book.
This is a children's picture book.
Perhaps it was a souvenir brought by a crew member from Earth to appease his beloved son.
It's just that the crew member may never have imagined that the picture book he brought to the spacecraft would eventually be collected in such a dark cave, and then attract a white alien species with the unusually bright colors on the cover. attention.
While the white alien was wary of Xavier beside Lin Xi, it couldn't help but stare at the beautiful colors and shapes in the picture book for a long time.
Those brightly colored pictures make it irresistible.
Lin Xi glanced at the title of the picture book.
""Lucky Arthur and the Dark Lord"..."
Lin Xi couldn't help but blinked, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And the moment Lin Xi read out the title, the little white monster seemed to know what Lin Xi was talking about. It raised its head and stared at Lin Xi thoughtfully.
"Arthur..."
Lin Xi stared at the white monster, pursed her lips slightly, and then shouted.
In this way, the white monster in front of Lin Xi got his own name because of a small accident.
Lucky Arthur…
Lin Xi always felt that this name suited it very well.
Of course, the act of naming Arthur only made Xavier more irritable and angry.
That night, Lin Xi could only crawl out of bed with the quilt in his arms, and lay on the cold floor to sleep with Xavier.
Thanks to his sacrifice, the night in the cave finally passed peacefully.
The next day, when the first ray of morning sun fell into the cave in AS192, Lin Xi could not wait to rush back to the ruins of the Helios with Xavier and Arthur.
This time, Lin Xi once again discovered his new skills - before approaching the ruins of the Sunrise, he had slowly stopped, and then learned how to invade with mental power without any teacher. , controlling a large number of insects on the planet to enter the interior of the spacecraft.
He carefully explored the situation in the ruins of the spacecraft.
…
There was silence in the spaceship, no one, no movement.
The mechanical warriors seem to have left.
This made Lin Xi somewhat relieved, but deep down he was slightly disappointed.
It was certainly a blessing to be able to avoid confrontation with those terrifying mechanical warriors, but without the guidance of the mechanical warriors, it would be difficult for him to find the reason why those monsters were searching for the spacecraft again.
After confirming safety, Lin Xi quickly entered the Helios.
This place was just as he remembered, quiet, cold, and dark, with an indescribable and deep air of death.
It was at this moment that Lin Xi suddenly realized that the spaceship he had lived in for more than two years and the steel home that once protected him as he flew in the vast universe... were now in ruins.
It was something he had known for a long time, but when Lin Xi thought of this, he still felt as if some particularly bitter fruit suddenly burst in his heart, and then dripped sour juice onto his heart.
He walked slowly down the dark and dull corridor.
This was an indescribable feeling, knowing that it was only one day apart, but when he stepped into the spacecraft again, his mood was completely different from before.
He was panicked when he lost his memory a day ago, but today he is. But it's sad.
Returning to the greenhouse where she once worked, Lin Xi looked at the Sunu plants that had grown lush and lush because of Xavier's care, and the sadness in her heart became even stronger.
When the nutrients stored on the spacecraft are used up, these plants will probably die.
Lin Xi couldn't help but think.
What about himself
Lin Xi turned her head involuntarily and glanced at her now half-insect body from the corner of her eye.
At the beginning, he felt extremely terrified because of the changes in his body, but without knowing it, Lin Xi had become accustomed to using this body and moving freely on a planet extremely far away from the earth.
Maybe one day, he will be completely assimilated into another creature. While Lin Xi thought this, he was also slowly looking through his experimental records.
He didn't take it very seriously because he knew that these test records might not be needed in the future.
… There’s a good chance he’ll never make it back to Earth.
Lin Xi's face darkened little by little.
What Lin Xi didn't notice was that all his sadness was seen by Xavier standing by.
Lin Xi wants to return to Earth.
Xavier thought in his heart.
Its wings flapped slightly behind it, the sound was very small, and Lin Xi didn't notice it.
Xavier felt... becoming a little strange.
The feeling of tightness and pain in the chest that had not occurred for a long time appeared again.
Obviously it finally got its Lin Xi back, and it obviously got Lin Xi's promise, and Lin Xi never abandoned it...
But Xavier knew. There was a voice deep in his soul that kept shouting - hold Lin Xi tighter, hold on tighter, don't let him leave your side again, because Lin Xi is likely to disappear.
Because Lin Xi wanted to go back to that place full of humans.
By the way, someone seems to have mentioned similar symptoms in soap operas.
Insecure.
It's just that in soap operas, it's the teary-eyed heroines who cry and beg those handsome villains to stay.
But now, what really makes me feel particularly uneasy because of the lack of sense of security is...
When Xavier passed by a smooth metal plate, he couldn't help but take another look at the blurry figure reflected on the metal plate.
Its body is tall and its limbs are strong and sharp.
And it knows that it is now stronger than before.
But at the same time, it also knew that it was no longer the "Star Butterfly" who could act coquettishly and whimper at Lin Xi without any scruples.
Xavier felt a little sad.
"Xavier?"
Lin Xi felt Xavier's pause. He turned around and called the other party strangely.
"Did you find something?"
He found Xavier staring blankly at a metal plate.
Xavier turned around, there was nothing strange on his face.
"No problems have been found yet."
It paused, then said.
But Lin Xi didn't notice Xavier's complicated and delicate thoughts now.
He anxiously inspected the wreckage and waste in the Helios. It seemed that the mechanical warriors who arrived just casually checked the remains of monsters inside the ruins, but if that was all, there seemed to be something wrong in some places. …
"Damn it… "
Lin Xi pressed her temples, desperately searching for clues in her chaotic memory.
He really wanted to know why those mechanical warriors came back here.
After some searching, Lin Xi still found nothing.
The only thing that has some value is probably the footprints left by the mechanical warriors inside and outside the spacecraft.
The marks left by those metal tentacles are very recognizable.
Lin Xi squatted down and pressed his fingers on the dents left by the metal tentacles.
Obviously, these most powerful killing machines created by humans did not hide their intentions at all, which made their footprints particularly clear.
Which means... they're also pretty easy to track.
Lin Xi even had a hunch that if he followed the footprints left by these mechanical warriors, he might be able to directly find the lair where those mechanical warriors were located.
And in a place with such advanced robots, maybe... there is an aircraft that can fly back to the earth
Lin Xi knew that his current idea was very dangerous.
On this planet, there were people who had a strong intention to kill him, and those mechanical warriors were even more troublesome.
And now, look at their group, except for Xavier, no one (including himself) can cause effective damage to those mechanical warriors.
The only way is to give birth to more dependents and heirs.
Only a sufficient number of descendants can allow him to establish his own family and expand his territory, just like he has done for hundreds of millions of years...
"Lin Xi?"
At the moment when Lin Xi was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a hoarse and slightly trembling voice.
Lin Xi suddenly shuddered and woke up instantly.
When he turned around, he realized that he had put his hands on Xavier's side at some point, and Xavier's holding feet had emerged from the roots of his wings.
At this time, its eyes were red, and it was staring at Lin Xi in front of it shyly.
"…hiss!"
Then, Lin Xi and Xavier heard a panicked scream.
It's Arthur.
It calls to them.
