Creature: Krayt Dragon
Home planet: Tuta
Size: Over 10 meters
Diet: Carnivore
Eva collected a lot of information through the optical brain, including the Krayt dragon, a predatory creature at the top of the food chain in the desert. The name includes several subspecies, all of which are very scary.
This 10-meter-tall desert reptile will eventually reach a length of 30 meters when fully grown.
Because krayt dragons grow throughout their lives, they grow stronger as they age.
Looking at its appearance through the holographic image, it has five sharp horns on its head, keratinous bone plates on its face, and its body is covered with scales. Ordinary gunpowder weapons cannot even break its defenses.
What's more, the krayt dragon's teeth and spine contain highly toxic venom.
It is similar to the poisonous dragon in the fantasy world, but it lacks a pair of wings and cannot fly.
The most terrifying creature in the desert is not the Krayt dragon, but the desert man.
Humans are always scarier than beasts, no matter what civilization they are in.
Wild beasts hunt only when they are hungry, but intelligent creatures have endless greed.
This desert planet is a colonized planet.
According to the information Eva collected, there are humans who are clearly and unambiguously identical to humans on Earth, and even their genes may be similar in some places.
Because we are all descendants of the last era, this is Xiao Yi's calculation.
There are also many alien creatures, which makes it much more lively than on Earth.
As for the desert savages, they are the indigenous people of Tuta and the descendants of the Kumma people who were the first to resist the rule of the Infinite Empire. However, ever since the ecosystem of Tuta was destroyed, civilization has come to an end. After countless years, the survivors have been transformed into several deformed civilizations.
The desert savages are the largest and most terrifying of their kind, even to alien colonists.
The alien colonists called them Tusken Commandos, Tusken Raiders, and more often they called them Sand People.
The Sand People live in caves and do not engage in production, because there is no suitable land for them to produce due to environmental reasons. They hunt desert beasts and alien colonists.
This is also the primary reason why the colonists of Tuta will not stray far from their own city.
As for why we don’t use high-tech force to kill all the Sand People
This is Otokogawa's biggest question.
The colonists should always act like colonists, and it should be possible to crush the natives with strength!
Then, Eva listed the dense laws of the Interstellar Federation, which stated that weapons of mass destruction were not used in ordinary intra-planetary disputes, and only conventional weapons could be used in intra-planetary conflicts through strict treaties.
Perhaps in the eyes of the ruling class that rules several galaxies, the battle between the colonists and the natives is just a fight between two villages, and it is impossible to bring in a star destroyer just because of such a small dispute.
Just like on Earth, no matter which country it is, they only use shields and stun guns, and it is impossible to just "shoot, shoot, shoot".
Moreover, Tuta is too remote in this vast cosmic civilization.
A corner in the star map.
The most important thing is that there are no resources.
No resources means the planet is abandoned.
This is a planet abandoned on the edge of civilization, otherwise, it would not be the turn of Earthlings to invade the time and space gate in the desert first.
After taking the optical computer out of the central control room, Xiao Yi stored it part by part into the imaginary space. Then he chose a route calculated by Eva and prepared to sneak into this cosmic civilization to travel around.
This is a truly cosmic-level civilization, it’s exciting just to think about it!
Xiao Yi is very much looking forward to this desert planet, because even its conventional weapons seem to be far superior to those on Earth!
However, this journey is not an easy one. The Krayt dragon is easy to deal with by simply using Gatling guns, RPGs, and armor-piercing bullets, but those poisonous insects in the desert are unbearable.
"Just go and get yourself killed!"
"You count on me!"
"Do you think I have many ways to save my life?"
"… "
Tushan Jiuer was furious at Xiaoyi's chest. They were connected by a contract, and whoever died would implicate the other.
In Xiao Yi's opinion, she really made a profit. When she signed the contract, she never thought that she would have the ability to save her life nine times!
"Since we have a trump card, what's wrong with taking a risk?" Xiao Yi said confidently.
What’s yours is mine!
"You... I..."
Princess Tushan was silent for a long time, then gnashed her teeth and said, "Take out the Hegemony Heart Mirror, and I will refine it for you..."
"Hey, you can refine it? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Do you think I'm a god? Now I have to consume my essence to perform any magical power. This is the last time. There won't be a next time. Don't even think about it..."
“Yes, yes, there won’t be a next time. Please work harder…” Xiao Yi smiled slightly. Next time… Hehe…
After taking out the Baxia breastplate, the one on the chest struggled for a long time, and then a drop of crystal-like liquid flew out, and then one of the eight tails disappeared again. Suddenly, the liquid fell on the carapace, like mercury gathering but not dispersing, and then dispersed and flowed everywhere, and then was absorbed. Soon, a "clicking" sound came from the breastplate, and then it grew rapidly, and finally formed a set of armor!
It can be imagined that if Otokogawa was wearing this pair of breastplates at this time, then as the breastplates grew longer, his upper body would be like having an extra layer of armor protection, but the shape was a bit ugly, as if he was wearing a tortoise shell.
Then, a clear illusion took shape!
Xiao Yi had seen this illusion once before. It was the appearance of a ferocious Ba Xia, and its head was even more hideous and ferocious. It had a single horn and looked even more ferocious. The loud roar it made seemed to shake the surrounding sand.
"Ahh, damn it! Qingqiu Fox... you... roar..."
After a long time, the two tortoise shells weighing more than a thousand pounds finally stopped moving.
"Okay... you... refine it a little... I want to... sleep..."
"oh!"
Xiao Yi walked over and prepared to pick up the two pieces of tortoise shell. He thought they were still very heavy, but when he exerted force, he found that they were weightless.
Once it touched the skin, this thing actually penetrated into every pore like liquid, and then evenly spread over the entire body without causing any discomfort.
"It's refined already?"
With a slight stimulation, a set of full-body armor appeared on the body, appearing translucent.
He took out a mirror with great concern.
“That was a close call!”
Otoshi Ogawa really breathed a sigh of relief and looked at himself in the mirror wrapped in armor. No bad scene appeared. Putting aside the practicality and protection, at least he felt very "cool" when it suddenly appeared during a fight.
The ferocious and domineering appearance does not come from carrying a big turtle shell on its back.
Xiao Yi even felt that he possessed a hint of dragon's aura, as Ba Xia was the son of a dragon.
In mysticism, this is called dragon power, which can scare ordinary wild beasts. In science, it is a powerful pheromone.
The journey was much easier. At least we no longer saw things like desert worms, and we were even able to tame some not-too-powerful Krayt dragons to use as mounts.
After several days of trekking day and night, Eva finally told them that civilization was just ahead...
