Chapter 1405: crack

Regarding alien civilization, the "devourers" don't know much, but after a long time of contact, they still have a certain understanding.
In fact, as a new born "another animal", it doesn't know enough about the world.
However, "The Devourer" has intelligence that many other creatures can't see.
It is very intelligent, and can infer some facts based on the status quo.
For example, the first Alien Queen in front of you is not the supreme ruler of Alien Civilization.
Even if it doesn't understand, why a "suddenly human" and "suddenly alienated" guy whose life breath is not pure enough to become an alien master.
What happened on a satellite of a gas giant planet, the Devourer remembers clearly.
A female of the Zergs clan that was enough to kill it was played to death by the alien.
He was a cowardly "devourer", but he became more honest when he was afraid, it was nothing but hard work.
It has never defy the demands made by Alien.
Just like now, even if it doesn't know the alien civilization that it doesn't know, how can they know itself so much. The "Eggers" who want to shed tears know that they can't refuse the request or order of the first alien queen.
The huge body began to twist slightly.
In just tens of seconds, the body of the Devourer changed strangely.
Half of its body swelled up, and its keratinized skin tended to be slightly translucent due to extreme bulging.
But the other half of its body shrivelled, and it looked like only a layer of skin was left when it stopped twisting.
There was a painful roar from the trembling mouthparts, and the huge ladder-like teeth of the "Eater" collided with a huge symphony.
With a high-pitched roar, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of its head.
A large amount of mucus oozes from the cracks.
As the fissure expanded rapidly and spread towards the body, the roar of the Devourer turned into a moan of pain.
Turning to the head of the Devourer, the first generation Alien Queen "looked" at the huge underground pit, including the "shaft" it had just violently lifted off all the way.
After receiving the queen's order, more messengers and drones hovering in low altitude followed the "vertical blow" hit by the original alien queen like dumplings.
The fissure has spread from the head to the middle of the body, and the cry of "The Devourer" is getting worse and worse.
It's just that this stern cry, but it can't shake the nerve-hard alien shape, not even a few aliens deliberately look at it.
It looked like the "Eater" was splitting into two pieces, and the cracked body was filled with sticky threads of mucus "ticking".
At this time, about a thousand messengers and drone aliens flew into the shaft, and hundreds of messengers aliens were suspended in the low air above the pit.
After a brief silence, a peculiar scene appeared.
A silver-white metal vessel flew out of the pitch-black shaft.
And a messenger who was guarding the sky above the shaft was shaped like a messenger, as if he had anticipated this scene a long time ago, just stretched out his forelimb and fiddled lightly, and the metal vessel immediately changed its direction and flew out of the pit.
After crossing a beautiful parabola, the metal vessel fell to the ground.
The other messenger who had been prepared a long time ago was firmly connected in the claws, and then placed gently on the flat ground outside the pit.
All this is completely a matter of lightning and flint.
When the first metal vessel was placed on the ground, the vertical shaft was like a volcanic eruption, and the metal vessels sprayed out in patches like molten metal.
And a messenger guarding the top of the shaft was not in a hurry. It used its sharp claws and tailbone together, changing the direction of the metal vessel with a light touch, throwing it to the ground in different directions outside the pit.
In this way, from the sky above the shaft to the bottom underground secret room, different messenger aliens used tacit understanding to the extreme cooperation, and quickly moved a large number of metal utensils out of it.
Hundreds.
Thousands.
Even tens of thousands.
When the transfer was completed in a tacit agreement and extremely fast, when all the aliens in the local buildings flew up quickly, a few screams of "Eater" sounded out of painful groans from time to time, and almost at the same time completed its "work". .
The sticky thread dripping with mucus like lotus root thread gradually stretched and broke with the struggle of the two split bodies.
The exposed tendon tissue on the body surface at the split site is soon covered by the sarcocarp after the mucus and sticky silk are hardened.
He opened his mouth and let out a weird roar, and the Devourer landed weakly on the ground, not moving anymore.
The other "Swallower" split body was convulsed and distorted in the void, as if the individual who had just become independent had given birth to consciousness and was adapting to its body.
Half is true, half is pretend.
Regardless of whether the first Alien Queen was paying attention to herself, the Devourer lay weakly on the ground, completely weak as if she could die at any time.
Splitting is a characteristic of the "Eggers" family.
But when there is a choice, the Devourer will not do this.
First, the process of splitting will make it very weak. It was originally not a strong point in fighting. If it faces a strong enemy at this time, there is only a dead end.
Second, the split body will grab resources.
"The Devourers" are not picky eaters, and can basically find the energy needed for survival and evolution on all planets.
But if there is better material energy, the "phagomer" will definitely swallow and absorb first.
Considering their amazing appetite, and the precious material energy is rare, so they are not the "swallowers" of social creatures. They enjoy energy, enjoy growth, and enjoy loneliness. Under normal circumstances, they will not split.
But this time, "The Devourer" had no choice.
It originally thought that the alien civilization did not understand its own devouring characteristics, otherwise the alien might have split a new personality on the gas giant planet, speeding up the mining of the azurite vein layer.
However, it is now clear that it just took it for granted.
"Swallow them and prepare to leave."
Ignoring the weakness and pity of the Devourer, the first generation alien queen issued a spiritual order.
"If Aquamarine can make you finish faster, just swallow it."
Just after the delivery, the first generation Alien Queen added another sentence.
Weakly responded, and the "Eater" wailed at the "split body" who was still twisting in midair.
The split body, which had only instinctive consciousness and no wisdom, flew down subconsciously, and stopped beside the "Eater".
Knowing that the split body will become the same as itself sooner or later, the unhappy "Swallower" barked his teeth at it, and only then opened his mouth to spit out a bunch of blue cyan crystal nuclei.
Swallowing and devouring are two different things for the "devourer".
Phagocytosis refers to the energy body, which can swallow pure energy into the body, and then convert it into a substantial energy body and store it in the body through special organs and abilities.
Swallowing is what really eats, digests, and absorbs. The cautious and cowardly "swallower" does not dare to really swallow even if the body carries a large amount of aquamarine crystal nuclei.
"Eat, eat. Even if we eat the energy in these energy bodies, we can only absorb three to four times, and more will escape."
"When you are full, you can grow bigger; when you grow up, you can complete the tasks they give you."
He opened his mouth to bite a few crystal nuclei and chewed, "The Devourer" said to the split body kindly.
