Vol 9 Chapter 28: Predation

The starry sky is slowly distorting, and the surrounding scenery is quickly converging into a small spot, and then it swells suddenly, returning to its original state.
At the gathering point, something that didn't exist before appeared. It looked like a deep-sea creature called the devouring eel.
It has a translucent body that is hundreds of kilometers long. Through its skin, you can see its body shimmering like stars, and you can also see some large buildings floating inside.
Its head is a huge triangular mouth. The diameter of its mouth can reach tens of kilometers after it is fully opened, and it seems that a strong gravitational force will form inside, attracting the surrounding things to the past.
For example, the pierced void bus.
Now the Void Bus is slowly drifting towards this giant ‘Eel’, and it seems like it wants to eat the bus in.
This giant devouring eel looks a lot like a creature, and was once considered to be one of the largest predatory creatures in the Void Tunnel, but in fact it can be said to be a civilized ‘battleship’.
This kind of civilized creature is called the'final attractor', the general individual of the final attractor is tens of meters in size, a bit like barnacles in appearance, and their ecology is also similar to barnacles, they like to grow in one place, but The place where they are attached is usually on the wall of the space.
After they live for a long time, they will "cut" a large hole in the wall of space, and continue to deepen the adjustment of the size and complexity of the content of the hole. They will also attack the things passing by, whether it is an aircraft or something, they will attack and obtain. Things were disassembled to speed up the construction of the entire hole.
It is said that after a long period of time, the hole they carved in the space wall will break away from this space, forming a huge monster that can act alone, that is, the form that Lin sees now is like a giant swallowing eel. Object, it is also called the'Engulfing Ship'.
How the Attractor constructed this kind of thing, at present, every void tunnel creature Lin tested did not know, they only knew the growth process of the Attractor in general.
The first civilized creature that discovered the'Engulfing Ship' treated it directly as a wild animal, but later discovered that it was made by the culprit, some civilized creatures tried to communicate with the culprit, but all communication ended in failure , So the final introducer is also considered to be one of the species unable to communicate.
Why do they appear here now and attack a Void Bus?
Lin now feels that maybe after the collapse of the void tunnel, many of the more powerful creatures did not die. They just hid in various ways and reappeared after a long period of time.
Now, Lin just watched the Void Bus slowly being swallowed by the Engulfing Ship. There was almost no obstacle in the whole process. When the Void Bus was swallowed in, the entire Void Bus could be seen from the body of the Engulfing Ship towards the depths of the Engulfing Ship. move.
At the same time, the engulfing ship began to move in the other direction.
Lin felt it necessary to investigate it. Of course, it was impossible to rely on the rescue capsule of the parasitic ship, because after Lin watched it swallow the bus, it destroyed the rescue capsule.
However, Lin still has some other warships nearby.
Because this is already in the void, Lin has bases in many places in the void... and this location is just very close to one of Lin's foundations.
So this foundation can also come quickly.
After the brilliance of the void flickered, a tumbling person with a diameter of six thousand kilometers appeared near the engulfing ship.
This Tumbler is called the "Lost City" by Lin, because there are many urban ruins and other buildings on its surface. These buildings are actually the same as Lin after seeing some civilization ruins in the void. Built on the surface of the Tumbler, this makes the surface of the Tumbler seem to be full of relic cities.
Of course, no matter what the place, Lin's foundations have some fighting ability.
Because Lin detected that the engulfing ship seemed to want to open a space opening to another place, Lin first let the Lost City interfere with the process of opening the space, which made it unable to open the opening smoothly.
At the same time, Lin let the Lost City slowly approach the engulfing ship.
Now that the distance between the two sides is more than 100,000 kilometers, the engulfing ship seems to have also noticed that Lin is dealing with it, and saw the huge'mouth' on its head opened, and a beam of light burst out from the inside, blasting lost. On the surface of the capital.
The large tracts of relic cities quickly disintegrated and dissipated, and the surface was quickly drilled open. Lin felt that it would not be long before they could reach the depths of the ground.
Lin feels a little bit strange, the weapon of this engulfing ship is quite powerful. In fact, Lin rarely sees civilizations with such weapons, and very few civilizations have the ability to harm a Tumbler itself.
But although Lin’s Lost City was not a bus, it was just transformed from an ordinary Tumbler, but it still had some relatively strong defenses. The beam of light stopped when it quickly melted the ground to a depth of 100 meters, although it was still Continue, but the speed is much slower.
The deeper position has been reinforced by Lin, and when the engulfing ship attacked, the Lost City was also quickly approaching it.
The attack of the engulfing ship stopped. When the two sides approached within 50,000 kilometers, it seemed to be out of control, constantly twisting its body and flying towards the surface of the Lost City.
Although it is equipped with powerful weapons, it does not seem to have much resistance to this kind of towing attack.
At this time, the engulfing ship opened its mouth again to the Lost City, and this time it spit out large swaths of things that looked like flea creatures.
This may be its army. They are similar in shape to water fleas. Each is several meters in size and seems to be equipped with many weapons. The moment they land on the surface, they madly move towards the big hole that the beam of light has just blasted on the surface. Rushed.
I don’t know if I wanted to find out why the beam of light could not go in, or if I wanted to use them to continue digging deeper, but when these things gathered, the big hole that was blasted out suddenly erupted like a volcano, and a huge amount of smoke came from Churning from the hole.
These smoke and dust are a collection of countless micro-arms. They quickly landed on the flying'water fleas' and began to quickly disassemble them. These things are just mechanical structures just like Lin thought, not' The final quoter's own.
At the same time, Lin also caused the surface to explode one after another, and a large number of micro-arms formed a giant cloud hundreds of kilometers in size, rushing toward the engulfing ship in the void.
When it was surrounded by large-scale micro-arms, Lin found that...more of its kind appeared.
