Chapter 183: Population Components
But this is not bad, it proves that this baby has no psychological burden, Mo Tie thought with a smile.
If Mo Tie could clearly recall the plot in the movie, he would remember that there was a plane crashing into the lake in the distance, and a soldier with a bloody face was also washing his face by the lake, but he was peeking at this side with a telescope and did not teach people to notice.
The soldier had seen the most bizarre thing of his life today—being beaten by a monkey as tall as a skyscraper, but he saw through his binoculars something even more bizarre.
There's a guy talking to the big monkey, wait, what's that guy doing? God, he can breathe fire!
Mo Tie skewered the octopus legs with a piece of bamboo, stuck them in the ground, and breathed fire in a circle around them, ensuring that every piece of meat was heated.
After a while, the grilled octopus was ready, and the fragrant seafood flavor made King Kong's index finger move, and he couldn't wait to pull up the bamboo and pick up the skewers.
Mo Tie also took a section and used it as lunch.
He inadvertently saw the camouflage-uniformed soldier on the other side of the lake, and after Xiao Tie's explanation, he knew that the place where the guy was was not far from the skeleton monitor lizard's lair, and he planned to go and see it after lunch.
Soon, King Kong was full of food and went to inspect his territory with great interest, not taking the American army to heart at all.
Mo Tie walked along the lake to the opposite side and entered the woods. The style of painting there is really a little different, and the whole tone is gray and sparse.
Soon, he saw soldiers resting on a tree, indicating that this place was not far from the nest of the skeleton monitor lizard.
Mo Tie sniffed, discerning the smell in the air.
Well, it seems to smell like a fresh big lizard, could it be a new hole?
Groping his way along the flavor, he eventually saw a crater.
This is the previous vibrator packet that blew up?
Mo Tie touched the crater, it was bottomless, it seemed that the amount of gunpowder in the medicine bag was not small, and it directly blew through the surface, revealing the underground world.
The island's skeletal monitor lizards all live underground, and they originally appeared from the exit to the west of the island, but now they seem to have a few more doors.
But it also made it easier for him to get in and out.
Mo Tie simply made a torch, sprayed a small fireball to light it, and shone on the crater, which seemed to be very quiet, and then jumped down with confidence.
The underground world was much deeper than he had imagined, about two hundred meters deep, and it was only six seconds before he touched the ground again. Fortunately, the nerves reacted quickly, and the leg muscles exerted force in time, and they stood firmly on the ground so that they did not have a slump.
The air is very bad, Mo Tie frowned, it seems that he can't stay here for days and search slowly, he must find the nest of the skeleton monitor lizard as soon as possible.
Originally, he thought that a nest could be as big as it was, but after half a day, he had to admit that this underground space was exactly the same size as the island on the ground!
A black drop that escaped alive.
In order to be able to hurry as soon as possible, Mo Tie became a giant, and he could take a long step with every step.
Without direction or destination, he kept walking along the right-hand side. I didn't encounter any animals along the way, and I'm afraid there were no other creatures in this underground except skeleton monitor lizards.
This also shows that Skull Island is like spring all year round, and those hibernating animals can't survive at all.
After walking for a few hours in a daze, Mo Tie decisively changed his mind, he wanted to follow the lizard.
Although he didn't see any other animals, where Firelight found it, there were always a few centimeters of small lizards scattered around, and their eyes couldn't bear the slightest stimulation of the light.
He just had to follow the lizards and judge the distance between himself and the nest by the number of lizards. Normally, the more lizards he sees, the closer he is to the nest, and vice versa.
A torch was quickly burned out, but Mo Tie had already figured out a little direction, and then he could turn back into a human form and use the fireball to illuminate the way.
After more than ten hours of exploration, the lizards he saw were getting bigger and bigger, from half a meter to ten meters and twenty meters, and all models were complete.
The characteristics of these lizards are that they are exactly the same, like products coming off the same assembly line.
"Old Mo, I already have a rough idea of what kind of component this is. Functionally, there's nothing better for you. Xiao Tie said quietly, as if he was stimulated by Mo Tie's good luck.
"Huh? What it is, talk about it. Mo Tie couldn't help but ask curiously.
"We'll find out when you find it."
“……”
For those large skeleton monitor lizards, Mo Tie chose to avoid them so as not to waste time.
Finally, he came to a low cave, only twenty centimeters high, but inside there were small skeletal monitor lizards crawling out of it.
The little ones scattered as soon as they left the cave, some fleeing farther away, others being eaten by the larger ones, and eventually preying on them one by one, the largest eating a twenty-meter larger man per meal, and forty-five meters in length.
This is the skeleton monitor lizard that fought against King Kong, Mo Tie thought as he hid behind the stones.
"Old Mo, what are you going to do with this little hole?" Xiao Tie didn't think for a moment how to get into the cave where the little lizards were born.
Mo Tie didn't answer, but silently clicked on the creature editor and selected the frog body he had used.
This frog is also a battle-hardened frog, having licked Star-Lord's bedside, squatted through the prison of the Nova Empire, crawled over Smaug's mountain of gold, and was almost crushed to death by a golden cup.
Now that it's taken out again, Mo Tie can't help but suspect that it is the protagonist.
Soon, a frog appears in the underworld, adding a touch of green to this dark corner.
But in the next second, the frog became transparent and "put on" a "camouflage suit", while trying to keep his body temperature as low as possible to avoid being detected by those small lizards that were about the same size as him.
The strange cave was not too deep, and Mo Tie only climbed two or three meters before he saw the end - a black hole with a faint blue light.
One after another, the little lizards crawled out of the hole!
"Sure enough, it's this ......," Xiao Tie muttered, "Go ahead, Old Mo, just touch that black hole with your claws." ”
"Huh? Is it dangerous? I don't feel like the hole is a real thing. Mo Tie was surprised, he was afraid that the hole would swallow his claws, and even swallow his entire frog body, just like a black hole in the universe.
"Nonsense, you see I have a physical entity?" Xiao Tie rolled his eyes and said.
Since Brother Tie has spoken, there shouldn't be any problem. Mo Tie cautiously stretched out his claws and touched the black hole while a small lizard crawled out.
"Boom!"
Like a blown fuse, the consciousness dropped in an instant, and the frog's body stiffened on the ground, motionless.
Mo Tie's stealth ability was out of control and gradually failed. The strange thing is that the little lizards around him continue to pass by "calmly" as if they didn't see him.
I don't know how long it took, Mo Tie slowly opened his frog eyes, and there was both joy and regret in his eyes.
That's right, he did harvest a system component, and a "population component" that was a perfect fit for his abilities.
The "population component", as the name suggests, is capable of creating its own population for the host.
As soon as you set up the template, the component will start working without error. For example, the component landed in the Underworld and was scrambled by several lizards, one of whom lost both legs in the snatch and accidentally slipped into the cavern with the component carrier.
After that, the component gives birth to a weak will, which is occupied by the lizard's primitive ferocious bestiality, constantly repeating the animal's reproductive instinct - which is exactly what the main function of the component is.
So, just like copy-paste, after the lizard dies, the "population component" continues to strictly carry out the task of pasting, constantly creating the body it scans, the lizard that has lost its legs.
Those lizards skip the juvenile stage and start life directly as mature individuals. They continue to reproduce underground, and eventually the fittest survives, and the little ones are eaten before the big ones survive.
And the small lizards that are constantly "pasting" in the components have become a stable source of food for them.
What a pathetic creature.
Obtaining this component, Mo Tie's previous ability, the Giant Network, will also come in handy, as the component allows him to obtain the perfect doppelganger, and through the creature editor, he is able to edit all kinds of members of the population that do not exceed his limit, and the number is unlimited.
Unfortunately, this component is not available now!
The reason lies in the intelligence of the components.
Just like the Time Travel Component and the Creature Editor Component, the Population Component also requires a communicative intelligence to operate, which is like a microwave oven panel, which is fully functional and does not work without buttons.
And the intelligence of the "population component" was destroyed by the lizard at the beginning of its birth, and it became an animal nature that could not communicate.
Even if you want Xiaotie to operate the "population component" on your behalf, you can't get the operation authority because you can't communicate.
It's really sad.
The only way now is to annihilate the existing chaotic consciousness of the "population component" and give it time to grow into a new consciousness again.
As a result, the amount of time spent is uncertain.
Mo Tie also wanted to be like Xiao Tie and find a copy of the consciousness to fill in, but he didn't know how to do it.
Xiao Tie was also very confused to find that there was not the slightest memory of how to become a system intelligence.
