Chapter 821: "Sweeper"

From the perspective of the "maternal body", Meng Chao saw that among the undulating folds like raging waves, there are countless creatures that look like algae and mollusks slowly creeping and struggling.

They are like marine creatures that have just landed on land when everything on the earth sprouts, and their shapes are quite primitive and ancient.
But among a large number of primitive, simple, and inefficient organs, some...very delicate, complex and fierce organs will suddenly emerge.
For example, on a soft body without a spine, dense rows of fangs grow.
It is also like the Nautilus has grown strong and powerful tentacles, like a hermit crab, crawling around on the ground.
Or it is like a squirming fungus blanket, the surface is covered with scarlet eyes, and there is a strong light in the eyes.
These creatures are deformities that nature can never evolve.
Meng Chao estimated that they were all descendants of the monsters who were lucky enough to survive in the Great War.
Capital crimes are unavoidable, and living crimes are inevitable. Although the Primordial Beasts are not extinct, they are suffering from super radiation and serious pollution. Their "evolutionary roadmap" has been completely disrupted. After thousands of years of staggering re-evolution, they can grow longer. It is already a miracle of life.
Meng Chao felt the joy of the "maternal body".
For this "miracle of life", it is extremely pure joy.
For these clumsy, ugly, but extremely precious little lives, the "mother" spared no effort to expend the psychic energy accumulated for hundreds of years to stimulate its own tentacles to accelerate growth and spread to the place where the deformed creatures gathered.
"Come on, throw into my arms!"
Meng Chao perceives that the "mother body" uses the tentacles that burrow out of the ground like buds, and shakes to release strong pheromones to the deformed creatures, telling them, "I can help you restore the'evolutionary road map' and reorganize the chaotic genes. Chain, let you restore your old appearance and become an overwhelming tide of beasts again.
"Then, with the most proud posture, once again traverse the earth, roar the sky, break through all the shackles that have sealed us, and devour the light of billions of stars!"
Pheromone sweeps across the earth like a storm of lightning.
All the deformed creatures shivered at the same time.
Although thousands of years have passed, they have also become unrecognizable freaks.
But hidden in the deepest part of the fragmented gene chain, long ago, the glory that once dominated the earth, broke through the sky, and faced the stars directly, is still like an extremely weak but never extinguished flame, stimulating their nerve endings.
The deformed creatures turned to the direction where the "mother" protruded.
Shaking his body, waving his tentacles, blinking his eyes, knocking his fangs.
It's like worshipping.
New neural networks are being generated.
After tens of thousands of years, the "maternal body" once again searched for the nerve ports of these deformed creatures, connected their eyes, ears and various sensory organs, and possessed more and more "vocal tract" and "angle of view."
Just in the "mother body" mustered their enthusiasm, ready to fight.
And the deformed creatures in all directions are like pilgrims, swaying to gather towards the area where the "mother body" is located.
Suddenly, there was an unexpected change that no one expected.
A cluster of shiny diamond-shaped crystals fell from the sky!
It is like the military buildings of the "Ancients" during the Archaic War. Those "crystal hedgehogs" with sharp edges and corners are covered with spikes on the surface.
But it was larger, more dazzling, and...cold than the military buildings of the "Ancients".
The military buildings of the "Ancients" are crystal clear and translucent. You can vaguely see the criss-crossing channels inside, and there are many "Ancients" manipulating weapons inside.
This cluster of diamond-shaped crystals emits a flame that is more dazzling than sunlight and can burn the surface of the carbon-based biological retina and skin.
The weird thing is that it is radiant and does not give people a feeling of scorching heat, on the contrary, there is a kind of cold, lifeless smell.
There is no "ancient man" inside.
The diamond-shaped crystal is like a kind of fully automatic killing machine specially used to perform "cleaning" tasks.
Through pre-set procedures, fully automatic search, hunting and destruction are carried out.
Has been hunting and killing deformed creatures on this barren land for thousands of years.
As soon as the diamond-shaped crystal appeared in the air, the deformed creatures burst into instinctive fear.
The extremely fearful biological currents converged into an icy tide, causing the "mother body" to shiver deeply.
Before the "mother" gave orders, the deformed creatures fled madly in all directions.
But they are all products of evolutionary errors, and they don't have much speed and defense at all.
No matter how you pat the tentacles, wiggle the links, flap the short and clumsy wings, they only escaped a few hundred meters.
The diamond-shaped crystal spun quickly and let out a sharp howl, like the grin of the of death.
In the depths of the crystal, a beam of rays that can be bent and entangled at will was shot out, like a long whip composed of flames.
Each stroke of the light whip can literally drain the life of a deformed creature.
Any deformed creature entangled by the light whip will age and wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, it turned into shriveled bones, empty carapace, and pale foam.
The rhombus crystal seems to transform the vitality of the deformed creature into pure energy.
Its light whip is getting longer and longer, its speed and screaming are getting higher and higher, and the body's light is getting more and more dazzling and shining.
From the initial seven or eight light whips with a length of no more than tens of meters, they continued to split and extend to hundreds of light whips. The hunting range covered a radius of thousands of meters, and it only took tens of minutes.
Within the horizon of the "mother body", all the deformed creatures were all transformed into the purest energy by the diamond-shaped crystal.
The "maternal body" clearly perceives the threat of death.
Just like during the Primordial War, billions of of light bloomed on top of one's head.
As early as the moment the diamond-shaped crystal appeared, the "maternal body" was disconnected from the nerves of all deformed creatures.
And silently retracted the tentacles protruding from the ground like buds.
It consumes psychic energy crazily and stimulates its tentacles to secrete a lot of mucus.
The mucus hardens quickly and turns into a shape conducive to digging.
Then, all the tentacles waved together, trying to escape from the depths of the earth to a deeper place, avoiding the hunting of the diamond crystal.
But the moment the diamond-shaped crystal arrived, it was discovered that all the deformed creatures formed a "concentric circle" and worshipped toward the center of the circle.
So as to determine that there must be something dormant in the bottom of the center of the circle.
Swallowing so many deformed creatures in one breath is just to reserve war resources and launch a strangulation battle that digs three feet into the ground.
Hundreds of light whips of diamond-shaped crystal were retracted into the body.
After a short period of energy storage, seven or eight roots were three to five times thicker and twenty to thirty times longer. They pierced out like lightning and plunged deeply into the earth.
The light whip is like a living thing, like a broken bamboo in the ground.
Soon signs of the existence of the "maternal body" were discovered, and he was chasing after him.
The "maternal body" rushed from left to right, desperately looking for every gap in the ground, like a mollusk peeing in, no matter what it was, it squeezed in.
Fortunately, the current "maternal body" is left with only the soft tissues and tentacles that envelop the "microbrain", which possesses quite amazing mobility and concealment.
Including the "giant brain", the huge body that cannot be moved is still in a state of "life cut off, deep dormancy", and is not within the hunting range of the diamond crystal.
That's the case, the "micro brain" has also been several times, almost caught up by the light whip.
I had to "docking my tail to survive" again and again, and abandon a large number of limbs and tentacles that had only grown through decades of hard work.
This thrilling chase and dangerous escape is as exciting and dangerous as the raging beasts of the Primordial War.
The two sides have been entangled for a long time, almost exhausting the last drop of psionic energy.
In the end, the "microbrain" discarded 99% of the active tissues.
Desperately again, he ventured into a piece of underground magma.
The surface was completely carbonized, resisting the high temperature attack, and only barely saved the core, a little bit of brain tissue.
This heavy blow to the "mother body" did not hesitate to use space-based orbital weapons during the Archaic War.
The environment on the ground is so harsh, the creatures are primitive and deformed, and there are terrifying diamond-shaped crystals sweeping back and forth, endlessly "sweeping" the entire planet.
In the last "microbrain", only the last 1% of the active tissue remains.
For the time being, even the psionic power to repair the "micro brain" is not available.
The "maternal body" can only choose to sleep again.
I hope that the cruel years of being extremely unfriendly to carbon-based intelligent creatures will pass as soon as possible.
Meng Chao is also coming again, thinking quietly as if in the freezing darkness.
"What exactly is the diamond crystal that hunts down the'mother body'? Is it a war machine left by the'ancient people'?"
Meng Chao murmured to himself, "Because the environment of this planet is too bad, it is not suitable for the'ancients' to develop civilization for millions of years or even longer. Therefore, the'ancients' temporarily left here, but left them behind. The war machine, let them act as'scavengers', removing all the descendants of monsters and every cell of the'maternal body'?"
This seems to be a fairly reasonable explanation.
But why, much later, today, instead of being cut and rooted, the monster's genes seem to be integrated into the bodies of many otherworldly intelligent races?
The "Ancient Man" hadn't returned to this planet, and the diamond-shaped crystal that was a "scavenger" disappeared.
What happened here, or did I think I was wrong, the diamond-shaped crystal was not left by the "ancients", but from another source?
In any case, Meng Chao didn't like this kind of cold, lifeless, fully automatic war machine that tried to "clean up" everything.
For some reason, his hatred of diamond crystals is even more than that of teeth and claws, with a hideous face, trying to swallow the earth and the starry sky, but is full of extremely vigorous vitality, presenting an evolutionary monster with hundreds of millions of possibilities.
