The dwarf child opened his mouth and let out a scream, desperately trying to pull out the slender tentacles that had pierced his arm, but after only two or three seconds, the dwarf child's skin quickly withered, and the essence and blood in his body were drained, turning into a skinny skeleton and a dried corpse, and fell down.

In just two or three seconds, the slender tentacles sucked a dwarf child dry, its originally withered body became fuller, and the tentacles on both sides of the snake-like body immediately came to life.

With a flick of his body, he slammed into another dwarven warrior nearby, his alien-like ugly face was close to the dwarven warrior, his mouth was open, and jagged thin teeth came out of it, biting the dwarven warrior's face, and the eight tentacles on both sides of his body, like two rows of javelins, pierced into the dwarven warrior's body.

This time, it was faster to draw essence blood, but with a single breath, it sucked the dwarven warrior into a skeleton.

All this changed too quickly, until the essence blood in the dwarven warrior's body was sucked dry and fell down, and the other dwarves around reacted one after another, and the dwarves who were close let out a scream and fled towards Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Ling suddenly came to life in this monster and absorbed the first dwarf child, he had already rushed down from the top of the pit without hesitation.

His heart shook a little.

No one expected that this ugly monster that had been dead for many years and had already turned into a dry corpse suddenly came to life, sucking the essence and blood in the bodies of the two dwarves in a row, it became more and more full, and the body seemed to have grown a little, it was originally only one meter long, but it had grown to about one meter two.

Xiao Ling didn't say a word, and rushed over at full speed.

He saw that the first dwarven child who had been sucked dry had blood on his hands, and he had a vague guess in his heart why.

This suspected alien creature, which they mistook for a dried corpse, did not actually die, but entered a very rare state of dehydration.

In this state, you can not drink or eat, everything in life is still, it can exist for a long time, and you can survive in an extremely harsh environment.

There are also creatures with such abilities on the earth, and Xiao Ling knows that there are "water bears", known as the most powerful species on the earth, and have lived on the earth for at least 500 million years. They can survive in almost any extreme environment, whether it is the world's highest peak or the 4,000-meter deep sea, and even in vacuum, space radiation, etc., they can survive, relying on "dehydration", which is also known as "cryptophytic" in academics.

When dehydrated, tardigrades remove all water from their bodies and reduce their metabolism to 001, which is almost equivalent to stopping metabolism. Even if they have experienced a high temperature of 150 degrees Celsius and an ultra-low temperature of minus 272 degrees Celsius, if they are re-placed in water at 4 degrees Celsius, they will almost be resurrected in less than 1 minute.

Of course, dehydration can cause genetic damage, and some scientists have found that tardigrades are particularly good at repairing genetic damage caused by dehydration. In other words, water bears can not only rely on their heritage to obtain genetic fragments, but also repair their genes through their own absorption.

And the only explanation for the fact that this alien-like monster in front of him can be resurrected from the "dry corpse" is that it was not dead in the first place, but was in a "dehydrated state" that was close to death.

The dwarven children entered the craft and found the ugly and strange creature's air-dried corpse, and out of curiosity, one of them dragged it out of the mischievous dwarven child.

Previously, because the cave collapsed and collapsed, everyone was more or less injured, and there was blood on their hands, and this alien monster in a dehydrated state inadvertently came into contact with this blood, and as the blood penetrated into its skin, it was immediately digested and absorbed, waking it up from its dehydrated state.

When he woke up, he immediately stretched out a tentacle and sucked one of the dwarven children closest to him into a dry corpse, and then jumped up and sucked another dwarven warrior dry.

Sucking the two of them dry in a row, it seems to have completely woken up from the state of dehydration, and began to repair the genes damaged by dehydration, the body that had been withered due to dehydration began to recover, and fell to the ground, and the eight tentacles on both sides of the snake's body supported the ground, like a weird giant centipede, and suddenly jumped up, several meters long, and pounced on another dwarf.

The dwarf was startled and retreated, trying to dodge, but it was too late, and he was instantly struck by it.

The dwarf waved his hand and tried to fight back, but the alien monster twisted its body and instantly entangled him, and the eight tentacles pierced deep into it like two rows of daggers.

The dwarf let out a desperate scream, his eyes widened, and the look on his face froze instantly.

Almost at the same moment, Xiao Ling rushed over.

Although I don't know what kind of creature this is, there is no record of it in the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty, looking at the strange and ugly appearance, and it appeared in a crashed flying machine, Xiao Ling has already secretly regarded it as some kind of special life from the alien world, of course, all this is just speculation, and it cannot be confirmed.

Now that I see its ability, it is even more amazing, it can enter a state of dehydration by itself, and it has survived in this crashed aircraft for I don't know how many years, and it is only contaminated with a little blood and immediately awakened, and it absorbs the essence blood of the dwarf's whole body, awakened and powerful, this is an extremely terrifying monster, Xiao Ling needs to kill it before it fully recovers.

Xiao Ling observed its speed from a distance, although it was very fast, it was not as fast as himself, Xiao Ling was confident that he could kill it.

Holding the Zimu Knife in both hands, Xiao Ling just appeared, and swung the Zimu Knife out, slashing towards the alien-like monster that entangled the third dwarf.

The monster was so alert that it seemed to know the sharpness of the sword, and it shrank back, and suddenly retreated behind the dwarf.

Xiao Ling's knife continued to slash, and he would only kill the dwarf first.

Xiao Ling snorted in his mouth and had to put away his knife so as not to injure the dwarf by mistake.

Withdrawing the knife that had been cut out, Xiao Ling's arms were a little unbearable, and his face showed a look of difficulty.

Just as Xiao Ling was busy withdrawing the Zimu knife, the alien monster that had shrunk behind the dwarf suddenly had a long body, as fast as lightning, and swooped out in the air, like a sharp arrow, straight into Xiao Ling's chest.

It turned out that its retreat just now was not fear, its real target was Xiao Ling.

Among all the people around, Xiao Ling is the most powerful, it has long been eyeing Xiao Ling, the more powerful the creature that devours and absorbs, the more powerful it will be promoted, the dehydrated state has been in a state for so many years, it has long been weakened, and it needs to be strong enough
