A group of people drifted in slowly through the hole in the center of the spaceship wreckage, everyone was cautious, even Y'zaks was no exception.
Huge caves, cracked armor plates, and spaceship structures hidden in the dark, these things rushed towards her face, making the always courageous Vivienne a little scared, and those weird tentacles growing out of the holes were even more terrifying. Made her feel goosebumps all over. Hao Ren and Y'zaks were at the front of the team. The latter summoned a cloud of fel flames to disperse the darkness in the cave, but the dim light made the huge tentacles around them look eerie and weird. The armored wreckage piled up all around, like shadow monsters creeping from the abyss of evil.
Elizabeth once led people to explore here once. She climbed onto Yzaks' shoulders to show the latter the direction. Under the guidance of the little girl, the group found an entrance on the side wall of the cave: it seems that there once happened In the extra explosion, part of the tentacles were blown off, revealing a black hole.
Hao Ren was the first to drill into the passage, and found that there were slightly fewer tentacles in the passage, but they were also occupied by the "eldest son". The thick root system pierces the surrounding walls and ceilings, and grows meanderingly to connect with the surroundings. Of course, just like everywhere else, the tentacles here are all "dead".
Hao Ren released the data terminal: "Check the surrounding situation."
The data terminal emits a faint blue light, and while scanning the possible key clues hidden behind the corridor wall, it mutters: "This ship has not been registered in the imperial database, and it seems that it is not a product of a certain civilization under the empire's rule, but it seems It's advanced."
Lily followed behind Hao Ren with her tail between her legs, holding her ice-fire claw blade in both hands, and nervously poked a certain tentacle passing by from time to time, as if to confirm that the "eldest son" here was not completely dead. Hao Ren muttered: "It seems to be completely dead... This one feels a bit like cement when you poke it..."
Elizabeth looked curiously at Hao Ren and the others as they showed the way: "Are these tentacles scary? Have you seen them?"
"I've seen it. It's very powerful. It's almost instant-killed by mortals, but I've only seen it in another world." Hao Ren nodded, "I don't understand how it can appear Here... Can the eldest son still travel through the void? When did travel become so easy."
Elizabeth was surprised: "Very powerful? Even stronger than Dad?"
Y'zaks smiled and nodded: "It's much more powerful. I can't kill this thing even if I pull the meteorite down—I didn't expect one of them to die here."
Elizabeth's eyes widened suddenly, remembering that she had led people to explore here for several days before, and finally started to feel a little scared. The data terminal on the other side has already scanned a large area of the path, and it has found something about the state between these tentacles and the spaceship: "'Eldest Son' seems to grow together with the spaceship."
"Symbiosis?" Hao Ren was very surprised.
"Well," the data terminal floated up and down, "the tentacles have invaded various structures of the spaceship, and this is not the result of a short period of time. According to the distribution of the tentacles and the deformation of the spaceship's structure, this invasion process should have lasted for a while— It's a growing process."
Vivian created a cloud of blood mist to cover the surface of the tentacles on the way. It was easy to corrode a large piece of the latter, and at the same time collected the biological samples of these tentacles, she showed an expression of great interest: "I didn't expect that the 'eldest son' would die naturally... I thought they were really everywhere. .”
Hao Ren asked curiously, "How did this thing die?"
"Dead of starvation," Vivian said with the corners of her mouth upturned, "the nutrients in the tentacles are basically lost, and some biological tissues show signs of self-digestion, compared with the 'firstborn' sample I found in the dream plane You can see the difference, the tentacles here are obviously malnourished."
Hao Ren was taken aback: "Starved to death!? How can such a bug like the eldest son still starve to death?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense, no matter how powerful it is, it's still a living thing. It takes energy to move, and it's not like a goddess who can create everything out of nothing," Vivian said as she dispersed the blood mist. Talking about my guess, "I guess this 'eldest son' fell here by accident. It should be an air crash."
Lily was very happy to be "mowing" with the fire. Hearing Vivian's words, he raised his head and asked, "How do you know it was an accident?"
Vivienne stared: "Nonsense, the 'Eldest Son' is obviously very intelligent, would a guy with a normal mind find a place where he can starve himself to death—it obviously crashed into this spaceship and was injured and couldn't escape. "
Lily looked Vivienne up and down: "But you can starve yourself to death wherever you go before you meet the landlord..."
Vivian: "...my situation is different!"
"Okay, okay, can you two stop arguing in your busy schedule?" Hao Ren hurriedly stood between the two enemies, "Lily, keep scratching the wall. Vivienne, what you said makes sense—me too I think this is an air crash, and don’t forget that there is such a big hole in the spaceship. According to the diameter of the hole, I don’t think it looks like the people on the spaceship actively opened the door in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere... "
A group of people proceeded to the depths of the spaceship along the passage completely eroded by the tentacles, and the road became wider as they went forward. It seemed to have entered the main corridor of the ship from some small passage, but the situation here was just as bad: the eldest son had completely merged with the ship. Its tentacles occupy all corners of the ship.
And after turning around a few forks in the main corridor, the scene ahead suddenly became clear.
They arrived at a rectangular hall that looked like the ship's main control room.
The hall is also full of eroded tentacles or roots. Those black withered tentacles make the hall look like a weird jungle. In the gaps between the "jungle", you can see some alloy pillars of different sizes scattered around. The pillar was supposed to be the console of the spaceship, but now it has become a climbing object for the eldest son to support his roots.
"This seems to be the 'core'." Hao Ren could see the specialness of this place at a glance: a large number of roots seemed to spread out from here, and the thick taproots from the walls that were much larger than other places could be seen around the hall. Extending from the hole in the ground, the intertwined tentacles on the ground are also intertwined with the center of the hall as the core. And in the center of all the roots, a large group of dead biological tissues can be seen.
I can only use "a mass of biological tissue" to describe the pile of things—the appearance of the "eldest son" is always relatively abstract. Even if you get a biologist with an enhanced company to come over, you probably don't know how to classify it into a class...
Lily raised the fire and was very happy to float forward cautiously, while sniffling with a serious face: "I smell the smell of death..."
"Don't be shy, you can smell hair when you wear a life-support collar," Hao Ren came to the center of the hall and stopped beside the large group of indescribable biological remains. He bent down and looked at the withered and dead tissues. Wei sighed, "This 'eldest son' is much smaller than the one we dealt with in the Twisted Forest. Its body seems to be this big. Is this a cub?"
"Severe malnutrition caused it to fail to grow." Vivienne said while looking at the center of the wreckage. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't fly over by herself. Instead, she took out a small bat and threw it forward. As a result, the small bat was in the air. Fluttering vigorously, drifting unhurriedly away...
Vivian: "... come back! Come back!"
Hao Ren covered his face: "There's no air in this place, don't embarrass your own bat."
After Vivienne blushed and turned the bat into a blood mist and recovered it, Elizabeth pointed to the middle part of the pile of indescribable things: "The energy cores were taken out from there, and they were wrapped in a layer The fossil shell kept glowing, so I just dug it out."
Hao Ren looked up and found that there were still some things where Elizabeth's finger was: some thick shells like plant pods were scattered there, and a few broken "petioles" could be seen around the thick shells.
"The 'energy core' is the seed of the eldest son?" Nangong Wuyue rubbed her chin and muttered.
"Compared to this..." Hao Ren frowned, "I feel that the 'eldest son' in front of me is different from the one we met in the dream plane." (To be continued~^~)
