Chapter 697: Rubbing on the ground
Gatherer: ???
The collectors were caught off guard by the sudden situation, the sculpture was measured by indirect means such as X-rays before extracting the sample of the components, and the feedback was that the sculpture was just an ordinary sculpture, except that the appearance was artificially carved into a strange shape, it was just a very ordinary stone.
Obtaining sample ingredients is nothing more than a matter of routine.
"What's the situation?"
The hundreds of millions of roots in the room watched in astonishment at something in the center, and it was not too much to describe it as 'twisted'.
The main body is a lump of liquid, the reason why it is called 'a lump' is because it does not spread out like a liquid, like an enlarged version, wriggling water droplets, the surface of this 'water droplet' is like boiling, and there are many indigenous hands stretching out from this boiling liquid surface, constantly dancing, like a drowning person looking for a straw that can save his life.
Inexplicable voices amplified and became clear, like cries for help from the natives of the planet when they were terrified, like screams when they were tortured and abused, or other fragmented complaints.
The most bizarre thing is that the collectors found that the illumination distance of the light was reduced, whether it was infrared, ultraviolet, or visible light, after running a meter away, the energy level would be drastically reduced until it disappeared without a trace.
Something in this room seems to be preventing the observer from accessing its information in this way, and of course, it may also be its own characteristics, which the collectors cannot be sure.
However, this does not mean that collectors are helpless, knowing that the particles in this world are not only photons, after complex adjustments, the roots release proton beams, neutron beams for 'illumination', and these non-photons will also bounce back after hitting the physical matter, so as to achieve the same effect as photon illumination.
In addition to this, collectors also have acoustic detection, just like bats use ultrasound to detect their environment, as long as the brain can process the feedback of sound wave information as a 'visual' observation target.
Distortions, such restrictions on access to information, are only effective for those organisms that are indigenous to the planet and have limited means of observation.
——!
The twister let out a strange roar, and it seemed to have some sort of means of detecting the roots, reaching the nearest ones and drowning them, the ones controlled by the gatherer abruptly disconnected from contact with the twist.
After destroying one tendril, it rushes to the next one, looking very fierce.
But it just looks fierce, the roots are like human hair to the collector, a part of the body, but they are inconsequential parts, they can grow longer if damaged, and because of the simple structure, it is only a matter of minutes to re-breed and recover.
This biological structure was designed because the collectors were considering the unknown dangers they would encounter during interstellar exploration.
They don't know what the danger will be, but the universe is so big, this kind of thing will definitely happen, and if they die in such an accident during interstellar exploration, and cannot continue to dedicate themselves to the race, it is a very sad thing in the eyes of the gatherers.
Therefore, the gatherers decided to learn from their supreme will, leaving their thinking subjects outside the exploration area, and only using a small part of the exploration area to carry out survey activities.
Now it comes in handy, no matter how the twist is killed, the roots of the twisted thing in the room are endless. 315 Chinese Network
"What kind of creature is this?"
In the Life Field Channel, the gatherers exchange their opinions, but none of them can say why, and the twisted thing is very strange in terms of life structure, and it does not look like a species on the native planet at all.
The uncertainties are put on hold for now, and the gatherers summarize what has been determined.
"Judging from the remains without roots, the roots were destroyed and devoured by this unknown creature."
"The source of the sound is also from this creature."
When the distorted object is transformed from a sculpture to a living thing, the intensity of the inexplicable sound that cannot be found to be the source of the sound increases, which indicates that the inexplicable sound is directly related to the distorted object, and it is almost certain that the distorted object is the unknown voice emitter that the collectors had prepared to deal with.
Now that it was confirmed that the other party was able to detect them, the roots were being destroyed by the other party, so the collectors decided to continue the processing operation that had been terminated before.
"It's too loud and it's going to attract all the natives in the neighborhood, so we should tell it to shut up quickly."
"Agreed."
The gatherers, who didn't want to expand their influence, decided to dispose of the unknown creature that they didn't know if it was a sapient species, and a large number of roots began to switch from defense to attack, and the twisted thing also noticed this detail, wondering if it was because the roots that the twisted thing regarded as 'prey' dared to resist and were angered.
Twists are more aggressive.
——!
While roaring in a strange voice, he kept coming into contact with the roots, destroying and devouring them in a way that the gatherers didn't yet understand, and the room reverberated with the inexplicable sound of the twisted object and the terrifying chewing sound.
After a few simple tentative contacts, the gatherers had a basic grasp of the twists, and they mobilized more roots to contact the twists, like a flood bursting the banks, and the twists were caught off guard and were instantly submerged by the sea of roots.
This time, the warp was unable to continue devouring the roots as before, and the sheer number of roots in turn restrained it.
The distorted object is not a fluid, but a fluid, with centimeter-sized mouthparts on its surface, through which the roots are gnawed and gnawed, which is the result of several attempts by the gatherers, and after mastering the basic information of the enemy, they crush them in larger numbers.
Since it is through gnawing, as long as those centimeter mouthparts are not closed, there is no power? The tenacious and specialized roots squeezed into the mouth, and split outward, the mouthparts of the twisted object were like this, and in the face of the huge number, no matter how the twisted thing struggled, it was useless, like a monkey who couldn't turn out of the Five Finger Mountain.
"Capture complete...... Hey? ”
The individual gatherer, who thought it was over, didn't let up yet, and got busy with the next move of the warp.
I saw that the volume of the inexplicable sound emitted by the distorted object suddenly more than doubled, and those indigenous arms that kept swaying on its surface actually broke free from the distorted object and turned into something that simply had the outline of the planet's natives.
