Chapter 336: A Nightmare Called NEO
"I know that NEO is the food cell demon in the teacher's body, but what kind of monster is this NEO, who made Blue Nitro look for it for hundreds of millions of years and don't want to let him go? If there is a grudge, why go to great lengths to resurrect it? If there is no hatred, then it is even more unspeakable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Could it be that NEO is something special that makes Blue Nitro so obsessed?"
Although Yilong knew Acacia's plan to resurrect NEO, he also knew that if he didn't follow Acacia's master's plan after resurrecting NEO, it was likely to bring ruin to the food world.
But as for the secret between Blue Nitro and NEO, Yilong really has no way of knowing.
"NEO IS A DEVIL, A REAL DEVIL. Gigi said with a relative.
"Old man, my ancestors and other ancestors of Nitro have been cultivating food ingredients since ancient times, at least 5 billion years ago, and this food earth has not yet been born.
The cultivation method has not changed much from now, find a planet with a good environment, put food cells, and slowly wait for it to mature. It's just that in the process of maturation, there is a little difference between it now and before -- and that is the way of giving pressure.
The current method is to forcibly put pressure on the earth's environment by blocking the sun's heat (regulating the heat) through a once-in-a-century gourmet solar eclipse, which leads to deliciousness. For example, as in the case of increasing the sweetness of tomatoes by controlling the amount of water given to them, the crop is deliberately pressured to make it tastier.
But in the past, before the NEO event to be exact, it was in a more brutal way - extracting from monsters. This approach puts more primitive and immediate pressure on crops and the planet.
The so-called monsters are actually many powerful beasts cultivated by Nitro, and the four beasts you have seen are also a kind of monsters, but their strength is weaker.
It is not from environmental pressures such as temperature, humidity, light, and water, but from the physical stimulation of the prey through the absolute predator of the monster.
Fear, despair, and insecurity allow them to experience the stress of 'death'.
In order to put pressure on the planet, Nitro manages a group of monsters called 'Beneficial Beasts', and NEO is one of them. ”
"It's brutal enough to elicit deliciousness in this way. Yilong sighed. Although he hadn't seen the way Nitro cultivated the planet in the past, he could understand the desperation of being treated to all the creatures on the planet by imagining the eight kings of the food world today.
Thankfully, Nitro changed his approach to applying pressure, and Yilong suddenly thanked NEO a little.
Gigi goes on to recount that the entanglement between NEO and Nitro began with an act of pressure on the planet.
When the planet is about to ripen, the Beneficial Beasts that have completed the extraction will be recovered by the Nitros. But in one operation, one was missed.
The missing beast was NEO, which was small and sluggish at the time, and had very little flavor to extract, and the Nitros derided it as a "useless monster".
Finding out that there was one less beast didn't make Nitro take it seriously, and it didn't matter if something as small as NEO was, most Nitro thought that the weak NEO had been eaten by the creatures on the planet.
However, things didn't turn out the way Nitro had thought, and NEO it had been waiting, waiting for the moment to be free.
When NEO was freed from Nitro's grasp, it was no longer the sluggish beast in Nitro's eyes, and the nightmare of the creatures on this planet began.
NEO's experience as a beneficial beast has allowed it to slowly learn when the deliciousness of living things will reach its peak - and that is "when it is time to die".
At the moment of death, many organisms secrete a large amount of dopamine in their brains to relieve the pressure of facing death.
The more intense the despair of death, the faster the brain spins to produce more happy substances. That gap gives birth to a strong flavor and is NEO's favorite taste.
Sometimes it catches a prey and will continue to follow it at close range, and after three days and three nights of entanglement, it will give the prey an "ultimate fear" that cannot be escaped. Then wait for the taste to reach its peak, and when the tide is high, the prey will be eaten.
Imagine a guy who wants to take your life doesn't do it for a long time, but keeps following you. You run as hard as you can and you can't get rid of each other, what a kind of despair it is when the demon puts his face close to yours and stares at you.
SOMETIMES NEO WOULD LIE ON TOP OF THOSE GIANT CREATURES AND NIBBLE ON EACH OTHER. No matter what the prey does, there is no way to get rid of it, and they can only watch their bodies being eaten by NEO bit by bit.
Some humans abuse other creatures for some kind of spiritual gratification, but NEO's purpose is very simple, it just wants to make its prey more delicious.
It is this terrifying appetite that makes it a "pest beast".
NEO needs more deliciousness, more screams, more despair, more screams......!
There used to be a very fertile planet in this universe, with a diameter of 140,000 kilometers (about the same size as Jupiter) and a huge food park on it. And this delicious planet that took hundreds of millions of years to build, it only took NEO a month to make it die.
That's the appetite of the creepy NEO!
The Nitros had no idea about NEO, but after that event, the fertile planets of living beings were dying out one by one, and the nightmare had just begun.
In the billions of years since, the devastation caused by NEO has spread completely, and millions of planetary creatures have been threatened with extinction because of the ravages it has caused.
But the damage caused by NEO does not continue at a fixed pace, in fact, NEO disappears for a while every hundreds of millions of years. Whether it's getting involved in a supernova explosion or being defeated by a good fighting race, for a variety of reasons, NEO has indeed died several times.
However, the nightmare is not completely over.
As mentioned earlier, NEO will transform into a food eater after each death to find a new host and then resurrect again.
"We Red Nitro were all survivors of the NEO Catastrophe, until hundreds of millions of years ago when Blue Nitro suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to cook this planet, and then captured us here as slaves and forced us to do all kinds of cruel labor. ”
Thinking of what happened to the Red Nitro for hundreds of millions of years, Gigi's heart was filled with resentment.
"It turns out that the planet where Red Nitro used to live is near the solar system. Yilong nodded knowingly, "But you said so much about the entanglement between the red Nitro and NEO, and there is no such thing as the blue Nitro!" Yilong complained.
"Well, I'm not going to say it right away. Gigi said with some embarrassment.
