"The best option?" Rana was still a little confused.

"Yes, to become the guardian of this place, you must be familiar with the geography of this place, but also have strong strength. Isn't this nine-headed tiger sent to the door just the guardian of heaven and earth? Di Xi replied.

"Brother Di's suggestion is really good, but to tame this guy, we may have to work hard." Mannheim still has some doubts.

"That's easy, isn't it locked up by us now? I suggest teaching it a few times so that it suffers a little and then it will be honest. Lana suggested.

"I'm against it!" Feng Ying'er surprisingly didn't agree with Radina's opinion, "Although these nine human-headed tigers are indeed hateful, I always feel a little unfair to deal with them like this. After all, it was actually us who invaded its territory, and now our identity as an aggressor is arbitrarily decided on its life and death, and I can't bear it. “

"That's right, I agree with Shadow. As the creators of the planet, our first principle is respect for natural life. Di Xi said, "In the past three galaxies, we just lacked respect for life in nature. It is the price to pay such a terrible price by putting oneself above all living beings and blindly demanding from nature for one's own material needs. Di Xi's words came from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Xi, I understand. So what should we do next? Rana asked.

"Lock it up for a few days, and then release it when we finish building the Xijin Pagoda." Di Xi said, "When the time comes, even if it can't really guard the tower for us, it will be an indirect guardian." ”

"That's all there is to it. However, I have another suggestion, can you change the name of it? I've always called it the Nine Headed Tigers, which is neither easy to hear nor easy to remember. Lana suggested.

"It's rare that this snack has such a good suggestion, so let's leave the name to Brother Di. After all, you're the one who subdues him! Mannheim also agreed with Lena's proposal.

Di Xi thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's call it an enlightened beast." I wish the future of our groundbreaking journey a bright future. “

"It's a good name, it sounds like the name of a mythical beast. Brother Xi, you have a very good name! Maple Shadow said.

"Yes, Enlightened Beast. Then I'll call this guy from now on, Xiao Ming. Lana said with a smile.

"Xiao Ming? The name seems a little too popular. Di Xi complained.

"Let's call it Xiaokai. What do you think? Rana said solemnly.

Di Xi felt a chill in his heart, and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's call it Xiao Ming." “

"Listen, you monster tiger. From now on, you will be called Xiao Ming. Leina ran to the observation window again, and said in a triumphant voice, in exchange for another roar of the nine human-headed tigers.

"By the way, Dr. Mann, I have an idea." Di Xi thought for a moment and said, "I'm like making a biological illustrated book to record the various creatures of the Sea Star. ”

"Hyastar Creatures Illustrated?"

"Yes, we don't know how many species are still alive in the planet. Moreover, after the transformation of the environment of the Sea Star is completed, we will also put the biological embryos of the Triad Galaxy here for breeding. Therefore, I think it is necessary to make an illustrated encyclopedia of species, which can provide the first information for future pioneers. Di Xi explained why he wanted to make the illustrated book.

"Brother Di, I agree with your idea. If you don't have to worry, you can leave the work of making the illustrated book to me. There's so much you need to do right now, and I can help you share some of that. "Mannheim has shown great enthusiasm for the work of the illustrated book.

"It would be great if Dr. Mann was willing to take on the job." Di Xi said with joy in his heart. To be honest, there are really a lot of tasks in front of Di Xi at present. As one of the best ecological researchers in the Triad Galaxy, Mannheim has indeed done this important work, even more than Di Xi.

"Then this enlightened beast is the 001 creature of Haiyaxing." Mannheim said with a smile.

"I see, what kind of creature illustrated book is here, a whole strange beast illustrated book!" Feng Ying'er also smiled.

"Forget it, whether it's a creature book or a beast book, it's always a big help for the pioneers." Di Xi said.

Maple Shadow and Mannheim both nodded in agreement.

"I said Xiao Ming, it's really strange to look closely. The nine heads all look different, and their expressions are different. I don't know how you grew like this? "Rana is still teasing the Enlightened Beast.

"Nana, let it go. Let me take a good look at the Enlightened Beast. Di Xi suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly to the observation window.

"Brother Xi, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about the Enlightened Beast? Feng Ying'er asked puzzled.

"We missed a very important point." Di Xi said with a solemn expression, "Why did the Enlightened Beast grow like this? “

"Isn't it because of the strange climate of Haiya that it has mutated like this?" Maple Shadow asked.

"No, no matter how any branch of life evolves, there will be no cross-racial genetic changes." Di Xi replied.

"Brother Di is right, even after our dragon clan has evolved into a human form for a long time, it still retains its original genetic form. Our human form is essentially a mimesis, just to make you look like people. Mannheim added.

"But the form of the Enlightened Beast is obviously not because of evolution. I even suspect that it is the product of genetic modification. Di Xi's inference surprised everyone present.

"Dr. Man, do you have a way to test the genetics of the Enlightened Beast?" Di Xi asked.

"Yes, but I need its DNA, can you collect some of its hair tissue?" Mannheim asked.

"It's easy, too." After speaking, Di Xi turned to Leina and said, "Nana, you have to find a way to attract Xiao Ming's attention again." ”

"No problem!" Rana genuinely loves this kind of prankstering. She staggered to the observation window, grinning at the Enlightened Beast inside, causing all nine of the Enlightened Beasts to glare at her.

And Di Xi took the opportunity to sneak to the back of the capsule cage, he clicked the button a few times with his hand, and a hole appeared on the other side of the capsule cage. Di Xi took out the "Dianhai" lent to him by Yu Zhibo, then sprinkled some breathing golden sand on it, and then stretched the "Dianhai" through the hole.

The "Dianhai" grew longer and longer, gradually approaching the back of the enlightened beast. At this time, Di Xi's heart froze, and the breath sand at the top of the "Dianhai" immediately turned into a hand shape. It was too late to say that it was too late, and while the Enlightened Beast was still staring at Radium with wide eyes, Di Xi used a force, and Xi Jin's hand suddenly grabbed a large stack of hairs from the back of the Enlightened Beast. The poor enlightened beast had a large patch of bare flesh peeking out from its back, and it screamed in pain.

"Xiao Ming, I'm sorry!" Di Xi hurriedly apologized as he handed the large stack of animal fur to Mannheim's eyes.

Mannheim frowned and said, "Brother Di, it's not so practical, just one." ”

"Wasn't I nervous, my hand shook a little." Di Xi scratched his head embarrassedly.

Mannheim took out a flashlight-like tool from his pocket, took a picture of the Enlightened Beast's hair, and said, "According to the DNA detector, the DNA of this Enlightened Beast contains the genes of tigers and humans. Moreover, this gene is extremely unstable and very easy to induce genetic variation. ”

The results of Mannheim's test proved Di Xi's inference that the genes of the Enlightened Beast had indeed been artificially modified, in other words, the Enlightened Beast was like a strange beast created by humans.

"And who made the Enlightened Beast?" Maple Shadow asked.

"There are two possibilities." Di Xi said, "The first type was created by the previous civilization on the planet Haiya. Later, the Hyasia civilization was completely destroyed due to natural disasters, but genetically modified creatures such as the Enlightened Beast survived. If this is the case, it will not have a great impact on our future work. “

"What about the second one?" Maple Shadow then asked.

"The second type!" Speaking of this, Di Xi's face was a little strange, "That's from the extraterrestrial civilization outside Haiya Star." From the combat power of the Enlightened Beast, we can be sure that the technology of this extraterrestrial civilization is comparable to that of our Triad Galaxy, and it is even very likely that it is above us. “

"Brother Di analyzed it well. Our triple galaxy prohibits the use of human genes for biological research, because it is unethical. But if it's those extraterrestrial civilizations that have no scruples, then it's not accurate. The Hya may have been just a testing ground for them, and the Enlightened Beast was just a product of their experiments. Mannheim added.

Feng Ying'er looked at the enlightened beast and sighed, "No matter what the case is. After all, such a fierce and cunning enlightened beast is actually nothing more than a pitiful animal. ”

"It turns out that Xiao Ming's background is so pitiful. Xiao Ming, I won't tease you in the future, and you yourself will be a little more restrained. Rana said towards the observation window.

The enlightened beast seemed to react to the crowd's comments, at least not for now, and walked slowly to the corner of the cage.

"Will it understand me?" Watching the Enlightened Beast's actions, Radium asked.

"Perhaps, if it had human genes, it wouldn't know what we're talking about. But knowing that we won't hurt it anymore. Di Xi replied.

"Brother Di, if your second inference comes true, we may face great challenges in the future!" Mannheim said worriedly.

"The soldiers are coming. If it is really a ghost caused by the civilization outside the universe, we must also do our best to protect this star of hope. Di Xi said categorically, "Moreover, I suspect that they will not come again in the short term." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mannheim asked.

"After the destruction of Haiyaxing, these extraterrestrial civilizations should have abandoned this place. Otherwise, with their advanced technology, they should rebuild the Hya Star before we do. Di Xi explained.

"Brother Di has some truth, but these guys may make a comeback. We should be prepared for a rainy day. Mannheim was still a little worried.

"Dr. Man, I agree with your idea, after we build the Xijin Pagoda first, let's go back and discuss it with the second uncle." Di Xi said.

"That's the only way to go. In any case, it is imperative to step up the reconstruction of the Haya Star now. Mannheim said helplessly.
