Jain took his grandson by the hand and walked into Octopus Village with Jiang Xiaowei and Xiaochun. But when I saw that the people in the village were sparse and deserted, and I saw a few old, weak, sick and disabled, I was also listless and depressed.

Jain hurriedly explained: "The young and strong laborers in the village have all been captured by the big royal family to work, and it is just south of the village. I'll take the two adults with me. ”

All the way through the village, you can see people outside the village in the distance, busy, like a big construction site. Dozens of giant boilers stand tall above the sky, connected to the ocean, and I don't know what they are used for.

When I looked closer, I saw that under each giant boiler, there were hundreds of octopus people surrounding each other, struggling to push the boiler to rotate.

Jiang Xiaowei said: "What is the use of these big boilers? ”

Jain said: "We dig out the crystal ore from the bottom of the sea, put it into these large boilers, and then extract pure energy from the seawater above and compress it into the crystal mine, similar to the electrolysis technology of human beings, so that the crystal ore becomes a power stone." ”

The group walked to the big boiler and saw pieces of blue crystal stones rolling out from under the big boiler from time to time, each of which was the size of a basin, uneven in color, and with many impurities, which looked extremely rough.

Jiang Xiaowei frowned, and was about to ask, but Jain hurriedly said: "This is only the first step of the process, and it will be further processed and refined later." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance and said, "That pyramid is the energy refiner. ”

Sure enough, an octopus man collected those basin-sized crystals from under the large boiler, used a small cart to go to the pyramid in the distance, and threw the crystals into the pyramid for refining.

Jain took Jiang Xiaowei and Xiaochun to the pyramid, only to see that the pyramid emitted dazzling light for a while, and from time to time spit out pieces of blue crystal stones from the top of the pyramid. The color of these crystal stones is relatively pure, dark blue and transparent, almost no impurities, but the size is different, the big one is the size of a fist, and the small one is like a finger.

Jiang Xiaowei picked up a piece and held it in his hand, absorbing it with his mind, and the crystal stone glowed with a burst of blue light, turning into a pile of gray powder in a blink of an eye, spilling from between his fingers.

The database in the brain shows a message:

Successfully absorb Level 1 Energy Crystal, Willpower +20

Jiang Xiaowei raised his eyebrows, picked up another piece and absorbed it in his hand, this time it was even worse, and the will energy was +8

Compared to Andromeda's blue energy crystal, it only has one percent effect!

Jiang Xiaowei just wanted to say that the quality of these power stones was too poor, but he sensed a consciousness message coming from behind him: "Who dares to touch the power stones of my great royal clan without permission?" ”

When Jiang Xiaowei and Xiaochun turned their heads to look together, they saw a huge insect not far behind them, more than two meters tall and more than five meters long, covered with a heavy armor-like hard shell from head to tail, like an armored car, and two rows of foot claws under the abdomen crawled quickly on the ground and rushed over.

"Yikes! Isn't this a king pod? How can you grow so big...... It's so cute! Xiaochun sighed in amazement as he snorted.

Jiang Xiaowei looked at her strangely and said, "Are you hungry again?" ”

Xiaochun stared at the big insect greedily, and muttered while snorting, "The meat of the Great King Leggy Worm is the best!" I ate it once in Japan and it was tender and delicious......"

Jiang Xiaowei groaned: "Since you want to eat ...... so much"

The big king on the opposite side waved two pairs of tentacles angrily, and a strong consciousness was transmitted: "Two little humans who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they don't know that they are dying, and they still want to eat this general!" You are the food delivered to your door, and General Ben is going to eat you! ”

Jiang Xiaowei turned his head and wanted to ask Jain, is this big bug who calls himself "General Ben" the so-called "Great Royal Family"? But I saw that Jain was already scared and sifted through chaff and sat on the ground, as if he was extremely afraid of this big insect.

It seems that the so-called "big royal family" is this kind of big king with foot worms.

"Database, what level of creature is this big bug?" Jiang Xiaowei had no choice but to ask the database.

"Level 2 Reptiles." Database display.

Jiang Xiaowei put his mind at ease and said to the big bug: "Hey! Are you the so-called Great Royalty? ”

"Two humans, it's your honor to be the food of the Great Royal Family!" The big bug had rushed to them, waving two sharp hooks on their jaws and feet.

As soon as Jiang Xiaowei pulled Xiaochun, the two dodged to avoid the attack of the big bug, and shouted: "Xiaochun, this big bug seems to be hungrier than you!" ”

Xiaochun said angrily: "A big king with foot insects dares to say that he wants to eat people!" This girl is going to eat you today! ”

She crossed her hands on her hips, and her two big eyes glared at the big bug!

I can only hear "Smack!" With a bang, the big bug has been blown up.

The big bug's whole body froze, and then it rolled over and fell to the ground, whimpering for his life.

"Bring a knife! This girl will cook you a Japanese meal on the spot. Xiaochun shouted.

The octopus man child ran over quickly with a kitchen knife in his hand and handed it to Xiaochun, who said happily: "Good boy! How clever! My sister cooks for you. ”

Jiang Xiaowei was about to see how Xiaochun cooked this big insect, but Xiaochun turned around, handed over the kitchen knife, and said, "Go, cut open the big king podoped worm, the meat on the back of the neck is the most tender." ”

Jiang Xiaowei was dumbfounded and said, "Aren't you going to cook?" I'm not going to do that. ”

Xiaochun glared and said, "Of course I did it!" You just helped me peel the shell. ”

Jiang Xiaowei had to take the kitchen knife.

In a blink of an eye, I saw that all the working octopus people around me were scattering and fleeing, as if something terrible had happened, and even Jain pulled his little grandson to avoid it.

"Where did two humans come from, they dared to kill my great royal family!" A vicious message of consciousness came.

Another king worm rushed towards the two of them.

This big insect is fat, round and fat, Xiaochun was overjoyed when he saw it, and shouted as he stepped forward: "This fat insect is better, with more meat!" ”

I saw Xiaochun with his hands on his hips and glared at the big worm.

The big bug rushed straight in, but suddenly she turned around sharply, and her ass was facing Xiaochun, and she glared at the big bug's ass at this glance. The big insect trembled all over, and ran away, rolling up a puff of dust and smoke on the ground, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiaowei felt strange and asked in his heart: "Database, why is Xiaochun's attack ineffective?" Could it be that the big bug has any special ability to resist the 'burst of consciousness'? ”

The database shows: "'Consciousness Burst' is a near-field communication program connection skill, which requires a certain distance to establish a consciousness connection, that is, the other party's attention must be on you and connected with your consciousness in order to transmit program data to the other party for an effective attack."

"When the big bug turned to run away, its consciousness had entered another dimension, so it was unable to establish a conscious connection, causing the attack to be ineffective. Wait until your civilization level is level 4 or above and you have the spatial will ability before you can carry out hyperspace attacks. ”

Jiang Xiaowei nodded and said, "Understood." ”

He turned his head and shouted, "Jain village chief! Jain Village Chief! ”

After several screams, Jain poked his head out from behind a large boiler in a trembling manner.
