After the ant died, the small black fog that had not moved at all this time trembled.

Obviously, something happened to the ants after they entered the black fog just now, causing this change.

The scientific research team brought by the old man was very excited after seeing this result.

They also seemed to be prepared this time, and when they took off, they brought a large number of insects and animals for experiments.

They quickly conducted a study of the dead ants.

It turned out that the quality of the ant did not change, and it looked like the black mist did not take the water or nutrients from its body, but killed it directly!

Well, there are only two reasons.

One is that the ants are scared to death.

One is that the black mist devours the soul of the ant...... The prerequisite is that the ants have souls.

But there's a problem.

Why didn't the black mist react when I sent the guinea pig over earlier?

Is it because he didn't scare the mouse to death, or didn't devour the mouse's soul, so the black mist didn't react?

Since the black mist reacted to the ants, the old man immediately ordered the middle-aged bearded man who was operating in the experimental cabin to send another ant into the black mist.

As with the result just now, the ant died, and the black mist trembled a few more times.

The middle-aged bearded man simply threw dozens of ants into the glass cabin.

A very terrifying scene happened.

The black mist trembled again, and then slowly drifted towards the nearest ant.

After the ants were approached by the black mist, they seemed to be frightened, or for some other reason, the ants that were crawling remained motionless and stayed in place.

The black mist swept gently over the ant's body, and then drifted towards the other ant.

After testing, the ant that was swept by the black mist was dead.

Soon, the dozens of ants that were sent into the glass cabin all died.

That small cloud of black mist had become much more active than before.

"It doesn't seem good for them to feed that black mist like this." Yuan Qiang, who was peeping at the experimental cabin here, muttered a few words.

"I feel like I'm going to die." Jia Shishi echoed Yuan Qiang's statement.

"It's really dying, and who knows what this thing will become when it grows up? Maybe you'll turn into a monster. Liang Hao agreed.

"They die and die, and they trap us here." Lu Chao's face was unhappy.

Although he was also curious about what this black fog was, he would rather not know if he risked his life.

It's better to go home and hug your wife and daughter.

Obviously, the old man in charge of the experiment and his team members didn't think so.

They continued to feed the black mist.

Their research soon progressed.

After killing dozens of ants, the black mist killed hundreds of ants, then hundreds of fruit flies, and finally, it killed the mice that it didn't kill at first.

It's getting thicker and thicker, and it's getting more and more active.

The experimenters also came to a relatively accurate conclusion.

It is this black mist that feeds on the life force of living beings.

After devouring the life force of the creature, it becomes more and more powerful.

The reason it didn't devour the guinea pig in the first place was because it wasn't strong enough to kill the guinea pig!

But after devouring the life force of ants and fruit flies, it becomes strong enough, strong enough to devour the life force of a guinea pig.

After devouring the life force of the mouse, the black mist seemed to be tired, suspended in the air and rested motionless.

An even more surprising scene happened.

It slowly transformed into a certain shape, and seemed to grow arms, legs, and feet.

Then he stretched lazily, giving people a feeling of being cute.

"It seems to be mimicking biological and cellular structures, and I can see that it is mimicking the process by which cells aggregate to form structural units! In layman's terms, it's learning about living beings, and then trying to become a real living being! It's great! Could it be that this is how the first life was formed? The middle-aged bearded man in the experimental cabin was a little excited.

"Did you sense bioelectricity?" A middle-aged woman asked the bearded man.

"I sensed it, as if it was developing a nervous system! It's just amazing! The bearded man replied to the middle-aged woman.

"But this bioelectricity is not concentrated in the brain it appears to be, but is permeated throughout its entire body...... If that could be called a body. The bearded man added.

"What do you think?" The old man asked the middle-aged woman.

"According to my analysis, if it can be called a living organism, it will be a special new species, not a living organism formed by the rapid division and evolution of a single cell, but a ...... Some kind of energy lifeform, a life form composed entirely of energy, may be related to the dark energy we studied earlier. The middle-aged woman replied to the old man.

"Energy lifeforms, a higher form of life, may be the ultimate evolutionary goal of our human race?" The look on the old man's face also looked a little fanatical.

"It's truly a miracle! Originally, it was just an insignificant mass of energy, but by devouring the life force, it learned how life works, and then simulated this life. As it stands, it seems to mimic the shape of our humans, rather than ants and fruit flies, does that mean it's a species with some intelligence? The middle-aged man spoke a few more words.

"Its existence is a miracle in itself." The middle-aged woman chimed in.

"If we can study the rules of the energy of life forms, maybe we humans can all have the opportunity to live forever and live with the universe. As long as the living body can be energized, we can exist without the body, and space travel, long-distance teleportation of life forms, and even time and space travel are all possible! It's all so exciting! The bearded man was inexplicably excited.

"That's why we were asked to take over this project, we are still in a very primitive stage of research on energy life, and this energy life may point us in a direction. However, don't be too happy, as our current research methods may not be able to fully understand the mechanism here. "Project leader, the old man motioned for everyone to calm down.

Everyone who was hiding in the outer cabin and peeping was also a little inexplicably excited at this time after hearing the conversation in the experimental cabin.

Topics such as body energy and immortality are of interest to any normal human being.

Only when the body is energized can human beings truly have the possibility of surviving in the lonely, cold, and harsh cosmic environment, and the human race may truly take the first step towards the universe.
