620 The Sprout of Civilization

Han Xiao's eyes moved, staring into Melos' eyes, and he saw nervousness and hesitation in them, as if he was very concerned about his next answer.

Han Xiao suddenly sighed with emotion, since he became a natural disaster, his prestige in the eyes of B-level cadres has been increasing day by day, he has been with Melos for several years, and he knows Melos's character quite well. Melos had been decadent for years before he began to serve his Clan, and he was less determined and more thoughtful than the long-suffering Sunil warriors.

In his previous life, Melos could die in order to resist the evil spirit, which was very heroic, but now his experience is different from his previous life, and his mentality has naturally changed.

"You think too much, there are not so many moral constraints in the struggle for survival, it's all a difference in position, I don't help, it's Sunil who is finished, aren't you hiring me to avoid this."

Han Xiao patted Melos on the shoulder, "Indeed, Sunil is an outsider, the underground xenos are very innocent, they have done nothing wrong, but the law of the jungle is the eternal rule, the underground xenos hinder Sunil's survival, since you have no choice, then don't sympathize with your enemies......"

"I know, but what difference does we do with Dark Star?" Melos stopped talking.

Sunil's home planet was destroyed by the invasion of the Dark Star, and he was also a victim, but now he has become an aggressor like the Dark Star, and this change of role makes Melos's mood indescribable.

"Sunil is not a dark star, the dark star is to destroy for the sake of destruction, and you are to continue the race, the motives are different, this is a fight between races for survival, since you Sunil can't move, the only goal is to eliminate natural enemies, there is only strong and weak, there is no right or wrong, you don't have too much guilt......"

Han Xiao paused, and added, "If the underground aliens pay me to drive Sunil away, maybe I'll be on their side, you don't want me to beat your clan." ”

As a chaotic neutral and a mercenary with a lot of professional ethics, this kind of problem is not a problem at all, and he has no intention of pointing fingers at Sunil's methods.

In all corners of the universe, the drama of competing for survival resources is staged every day, and a large number of species are born or die every second.

Melos smiled helplessly, Han Xiao's attitude made him feel relieved, it was good that Black Star didn't hate him because of this.

"Stop talking, let's do it quickly."

Sherinde on the side was impatient, his tone was cold, and he jumped directly into the hole.

Seeing this, Melos sighed and jumped down as well.

Han Xiao activated the Mad Ape Mecha and followed closely.

……

The three of them flew down for a while, the entrance of the cave gradually disappeared, the field of vision was pitch black, there was no light source, Han Xiao turned on the night vision device.

At a depth of several thousand meters from the surface, the three of them reached the end of the cave and stepped on the flat ground.

In front of me is a pitch-black underground space, the passage is intricate, twists and turns, like a beast road, there are several strange stone veins nearby, entrenched in several underground xenomorph nests, the Sunil people dug here to officially discover the existence of underground xenomorphs, lost some exploration teams, so they stopped digging.

There are only traces of artificial excavation around the cave, and further away is the underground alien world, which is very large, and the area that has been discovered alone far exceeds that of Morihara Castle, and I don't know how many years it took for the underground aliens to build such a spectacular underground world.

The temperature of the stratum at this depth is very high, rich in geothermal energy, Han Xiao turned on the life detection radar, and a nest in the distance was full of dense points of light, the points of light represented underground xenomorphs, the number was extremely terrifying, just one nest, there were tens of millions of underground xenomorphs.

Sunil numbered the nests, and they were going to the nearest nest, Nest 1.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the underground world, Sunil Star is so big, I don't know how many undiscovered nests there are, the scale of underground xenomorphs is hundreds of millions, and it is the well-deserved master of this planet.

The nest spreads outward with the Vein of Whispering Stone as its midpoint, and the density of spots of light around the vein is the highest, just like in the center of the city.

Following the radar guidance for a while, the three of them approached the periphery of the lair, and the corrosive slime on the underground xenomorphs gradually appeared on the ground and rock walls, accumulating over time, and had already turned into a thick colloidal blanket, which was very thick and tough to the touch.

Dudu –

At this time, the radar suddenly warned that there were more than a dozen xenos passing in front, and Han Xiao turned on the farsightedness function to lock on this group of xenomorphs.

Han Xiao accelerated, instantly approaching the xenomorphs, his movements brought a series of afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen xenos were all knocked to the ground, and in the face of the absolute strength of the natural disaster level, there was no suspense in the battle.

Melos and Sherind follow up and keep the xenos in check, and their mission is to act as coolies.

The underground xenomorph body is more than a meter long, with some Zerg characteristics, the carapace protects the muscles, there are fluff between the gaps, mucus oozing outward, the head is small, there are no eyes at all, only four flexible tentacles, the mouthparts are full of fangs, feeds on rocks, has four muscle-knotted anti-joint legs, can run and jump, is a vertebrate, has a hard carapace tail, and the end is a shovel-like bone, and the overall appearance is very vicious.

"We've got the sample, shall we go back?" Melos whispered.

"You go first, I'll take a look in the depths of the lair." Han Xiao waved his hand. The two naturally had no opinion, Han Xiao's combat strength did not need them to worry, and obediently acted as coolies to return the same way with more than a dozen underground xenomorphs.

Han Xiao was the only one left, he looked at the battle information just now, and the attributes of the underground xenomorphs jumped into view, the average level was between 30~40, it was a beast-like creature, all of them had the specialty of mind resistance, but there were no other highlights.

"The psychic resistance is really high, and it will not be affected by the Whisper Stone." Han Xiao nodded secretly, and then he needed to figure out the reason why the alien species inhabited near the Trick Stone.

Activating the stealth function, Han Xiao moved towards the depths of the lair at high speed, and began to frequently encounter underground xenos, but the concealment of the wild ape was naturally not something that the underground xenos could find, and the journey went smoothly.

The further you go to the center of the nest, the larger the size of the underground xenomorph becomes, from more than one meter to three or four meters, and the carapace becomes thicker.

Han Xiao suddenly noticed that a rock wall had crooked scratches, combined into a picture of unknown meaning, and he carefully identified it for a while, confirming that it was a mural carved by the tail of the underground alien species.

"Is this a way of recording? Underground xenomorph text? ”

Han Xiao's heart moved, the emergence of recording methods often represents the beginning of civilization.

Underground xenomorphs are transitioning from beasts to intelligent species?

With a flash of thought, Han Xiao continued to move forward, and soon came to the vicinity of the Vein of the Whispering Stone, and found that the vein did not have any traces of mining, as if the underground xenomorphs had never used the Whispering Stone, but only guarded the vein.

Underground xenos just like the psychic radiation of the Trick Stone? Han Xiao was a little curious, and suddenly had the idea of destroying the ore veins to test the reaction of the underground xenomorphs.

Han Xiao lifted his hiding, released the watch agreement, and bombarded this small piece of ore vein.

Boom Boom –

Explosions followed, and the passage quickly shook.

The next moment, the radar showed that the underground xenomorphs of the entire lair seemed to be going berserk, frantically converging towards this place.

The surging tide of underground xenomorph beasts rushed in, sealing all the space, Han Xiao was not in a hurry, set the watch protocol as a blasting attack, fired freely, and a beam of light cannons shot out, exploding in the herd of beasts, and the powerful power easily tore apart pieces of underground xenomorphs.

There was a steady stream of underground xenos, going forward and following one another, but none of them could rush to Han Xiao's side, all of them were beaten into minced meat, piled higher and higher, Han Xiao walked leisurely, and the huge gap in strength made the number of underground xenomorphs meaningless.

Although there was no danger, this phenomenon made Han Xiao realize a problem.

"Why is it that if I wreak havoc on the Veins of the Whispering Stone, this lair will riot and all come towards me?"

This phenomenon is a bit like a reaction to hit the vital point of a living organism...... Han Xiao's eyes flickered, and he guessed.

The whole riot represents a nest with group consciousness, perhaps the underground xenomorph's way of communication is mental fluctuations, and the entire lair forms a group spiritual network, and the Trick Stone happens to have psychic radiation, which has affected the underground xenomorphs for many years, resulting in the evolution of the underground xenomorphs in their spiritual power...... Perhaps, the underground xenos are using the Trick Stone to maintain the spiritual network?

Therefore, the underground xenomorphs use the veins of the Whisper Stone as a "tool", which is a kind of "communication base station"?

This would explain why the Underground Xenos would establish their nests near the Veins of the Whisperstone...... Perhaps it is more appropriate to use the word "tribe", an underground vein is only allowed to exist in an underground xenotribe, each tribe is a closed ecology, and the vein of the Strange Stone is considered the external organ of the underground xenomorph group.

The racial identity of this form...... How is it a bit similar to the World Tree Civilization?

Suddenly, Han Xiao felt a slight dizziness, and a prompt popping up on the panel to swipe the screen like a stream.

[You are under a psychic attack, the level gap is too large, you are immune to this damage, and the negative effect is being determined...... Approved, you are immune to [Disrupted]! ]

"Even with the means of psychic attack?" Han Xiao was taken aback, and immediately checked the battle information, and found that ordinary underground xenos did not have this ability, but those elite xenos of three or four meters in size all had the [Mental Disturbance] skill.

The level gap is too high, and Han Xiao also has the resistance of [Advanced Mental Tenacity], the vast majority of the spiritual attacks of the elite xenomorphs are all ineffective, but there are also a few attacks that are lucky to pass the judgment and disturb his mind.

Han Xiao became vigilant, and the spiritual attack restrained his blood and blue exchange, he no longer stayed, the mad ape activated instantly, turned into a black light, and crashed out of a blood path in the beast tide, like a broken bamboo, and flew away.

Returning to the entrance of the cave along the way you came, the catastrophe-level lethality is amazing, and thousands of underground xenos have been killed in a short period of time, as long as Han Xiao is given enough time, there is no difficulty in exterminating all the underground xenos by himself, but unfortunately the level gap is too big, only 1 point of killing experience, even if he kills 10 million underground xenos alone, it is only 1000 experience, which is far worse than cutting leeks.

However, for players, slaughter is a way to quickly level up, and there were players who did this in their previous lives, and in the end they were saddled with countless wanted, and they could use up the number of resurrections every day, and they would die better than Han Da Technician.

After collecting a lot of information, Han Xiao ascended along the cave and flew back to the surface, and at a glance, he saw Melos and the two waiting for him at the edge of the cave, and the dozen or so xenos captured alive had been put into cages and firmly controlled.

"Blackstar, what's the discovery?" Melos smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Well, there's a lot of interesting information, let's talk about it when we go back."

The three of them boarded the spaceship and returned to Morihara City, where Sunil's scientific research department waited early and successfully handed over the captured underground xenomorphs.

Han Xiao told Sunil's scientific research department about his discovery, the omen of the budding civilization of the underground alien species, the role of the veins of the Trick Stone, and so on.

This trip easily completed several small objectives of Sunil's main quests, especially the "Killer" series of objectives, all of which were completed, and millions of experience were obtained, and the mission evaluation was significantly improved.

Next, just wait for Sunil's scientific research department to complete the research on the underground xenomorphs, and the interstellar engineering team will come to build the third base, and after these two points are completed, the underground xenos can be officially cleared.

……

Meanwhile, nest 1.

Just after Han Xiao left, the underground xenos collected all the corpses and piled them up, the scene was extremely bloody, if an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be nauseous and vomiting.

Countless underground xenomorph tentacles swayed wildly, as if in some kind of silent communication.

After a while, all the underground xenomorphs seemed to have reached a consensus, and all gathered in the area of the ore vein, bowing their bodies, as if they were worshipping the ore vein, like an ancient totem worship.

Immediately afterward, all the underground xenomorphs suddenly began to dig ore veins with shovel-like tails, mining piles of strange stone ore, stacking them together and protecting them tightly.

There were hundreds of underground xenos who wanted to devour the Trick Stone Mine, but they were attacked by their companions and quickly bitten to death.

The excavation speed of the underground xenomorphs is very fast, and there is a huge base, and it didn't take long for the huge ore veins to be mined at a rapid pace, and all the trick stones were dug up.

The three or four meter-tall elite xenos moved huge pieces of trickery stone raw ore to form a huge team, which was protected in the center by countless people of the same kind, and then, this tens of millions of underground xenomorph tribes abandoned their original nests and began to move into the distance.

During this period, a porter gnawed on the Trick Stone and was also beaten to death by the group, and its companions tore open its body, dug out the undigested Trick Stone from the corpse's stomach, and continued to carry it.

This underground xenomorph tribe began to migrate, getting farther and farther away from the cave that Han Xiao and the others had entered.
