Chapter 186: The Gardener
The mutant slug can't tell it's a slug anymore, maybe it wasn't a slug from the beginning, it was only after eating a mutant slug that it became like that. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The spikes on the body have both attack and defense, and because the body is softer, the thorns will change angles with the wriggling of the body, which is much more troublesome than the mutant rat king, and the body and thorns are full of venom, and the mantis's big scythe can attack a large area in front of it, and the scorpion tail is even covered behind it.
These are just visible things, who knows what kind of big bugs it swallowed before, before eating the mutant mantis, it already has mucus on its body, it is likely to be poisonous, a variety of toxins mixed together are likely to weaken the toxicity, but the big bugs are evolved through special methods, or fusion, and the toxicity will only become stronger, not weakened.
The most important thing is that it is controlled by You, it has a high enough IQ, it can't be treated as an ordinary bug, and it can make full use of various "accessories" on its body, and its strength is thousands of times more powerful than the big bugs with the same "equipment", which is a terrible enemy.
Chen Zhen turned his head and walked back.
Compared to fighting, he wanted to know more about the state of the mutated creatures when he was in full control, whether he was standing still and unable to move. Is it possible to give up controlling the "soul return" of mutated creatures at any time? If so, what would happen to the mutant creatures that were abandoned? When the stone gets bigger, will it shrink back to its normal state? If they can't recover, their brains are all squeezed out of normal, what kind of state will they become?
There is darkness outside, Chen Zhen is not afraid of big insects, even if it has a strong range attack ability, he is only a little injured at most, even if he can't beat it, he is confident to get out of danger.
But he is afraid of You, and if he doesn't let out the darkness, it will affect his thinking; Releasing the darkness, You can blend into the darkness, and he can't see, he can't perceive, and if he doesn't take back the darkness, he can't determine whether You has blended into the darkness, but if he has already blended in, it will be over, he can't fight again, and he can't kill him, Chen Zhen is afraid of You, not because he is scared and trembling, but because of a deeper level of fear, just like people are afraid of death.
It's about control.
Another advantage of going back is that it is too cold below, and you no longer absorb all the heat around you, but the temperature will not recover for a while, and the cold will cause the ectothermic animal to lose its vitality, and if the mutant slug chases down, maybe he will be cold to death without his hands.
Returning to the cave, Chen Cheng stopped, waited for a few seconds, and walked back again, he wanted to take a look at the situation of the mutant slug, running at both ends, looking at both ends.
The mutant slug followed, and it could be seen from its eyes that it was in control, and when it crawled closer, Chen Zhen asked, "Don't you plan to speak this time?" ”
Last time, you borrowed the mouth of the mutant rat king to make that sound, and forced the mutant rat king to squirt blood and die, rats have vocal cords, insects don't, and it's more difficult to vocalize, to say the kind of syllables that can convey meaning, if you don't do it, you will explode and die.
The mutant slug ignored Chen Zhen and chased after it, its crawling speed was actually not slow, it just couldn't catch up with Chen Zhen.
The temperature in the rock is also sucked, and it will take a long time to return to normal temperature, and the further you go, the colder it gets, and after drilling through a small hole, Chen Zhen looked back, and the slug's body was too big to drill through.
But the two giant scythes were extremely sharp, and they easily pierced into the rock formation, and the limestone was relatively soft, unable to withstand the strength of the mutant slugs and the sharpness of the bone sickle.
But the mutant slug is a little slower than before, it has no exoskeleton, so the spines can move, the price is that the body is directly exposed, hard and hard, like wear-resistant rubber, but after all, it is still the body of a creature, not a car tire.
Chen Zhen felt a little relieved, continued to walk forward, came to the place with white stalactites, climbed on it, stabbed the knife into the stalactites and waited, these stalactites were formed in tens or tens of thousands of years, and after destruction, I am afraid it will take millions of years to "grow" out, but it is still very suitable to kill big insects.
The mutant slugs came, their movements were slower, and there was a thin layer of ice on the ground, making it more difficult to crawl, Chen Zhen and the others were at the entrance and exit of this area, and as soon as they saw it, they immediately began to hit the stalactites.
The stalactites are relatively brittle, his fist can be broken directly, the section is flat, it doesn't matter if the tip is facing down, the important thing is to let the stalactite smash on the thorn, it is best to get stuck.
Several stalactites more than a meter long fell down and smashed on the mutant slug, some were stabbed and flew away, and some fell in the gap between the thorns, increasing the burden of the mutant slug, it erected its tail and wanted to stab Chen Zhen, but it couldn't reach it, and a large drop of venom was secreted on the tip of the tail, but there was no way to take Chen Zhen.
When its movement speed was not much different from that of a real slug, Chen Zhen jumped down and continued to walk inside.
He couldn't find You, and when he came to the underground river, he didn't see a black shadow, and no matter how slow it was, it couldn't have moved so slowly.
Are you still touching the stones inside?
Chen Zhen didn't have time to heat the stones this time, so he walked in with the bag of stones that had a little residual warmth.
No, the stone that had been knocked down was lying on the ground, there were still white broken bones where it was broken, he walked over cautiously, put the piece that had been knocked down into his backpack, and began to study the ones on the wall.
The white shards looked like some kind of ore and didn't feel much to the touch, and he continued digging, emptying his backpack and filling the pieces of rubble into it.
After only working for a short time, there was a lot of movement outside, Chen Zhen walked towards the entrance of the ice cave, and made the hole mouth blocked by mutant slugs, the movement was the sound of its double sickle digging into the ground, the thorns on its back and the scorpion tail piercing into the roof of the cave, and its body was full of poisonous slime, which Chen Zhen did not dare to touch.
Chen Zhen retreated inside, he was not worried about being blocked and starving to death here, it would not be a problem to open a way to get out, what he was afraid of was that You came here to talk about life with him.
Sure enough, it came, passed through the mutant slug's body, and came to the ice cave, the walls of which were still icy.
"Stupid human." You made time seem to slow down again, and a voice sounded in Chen Zhen's head.
"You want to control me, I don't want to be controlled by you, that's all, even if I know that what I'm doing is bad, I will still do it without hesitation, it's not stupid." Chen Zhen was not used to this feeling of time slowing down, he didn't move, and no matter how slow You's movements were, they were faster than the speed at which he broke through the rocks.
"I can promise not to control you, as long as you give me back my body." You looked at Chen Zhen's eyes.
"If it's your body, why is it on me?" Chen Zhen picked up his back again and stood more than ten meters away from You.
"The earth can't withstand the impact of my body, so I disintegrated before it fell, and my body will never die, and will reside on the creature until the host dies." You's voice appeared directly in Chen Zhen's mind, and because the voice appeared directly, the meaning was directly understood, and he couldn't hear what kind of emotion it had.
"What is a gardener?" Chen Zhen asked the voice he had been curious about.
"A gardener is a person who takes care of plants, prunes the leaves, and for us, plants are planets where life lives, and when there is a devastating catastrophe on the planet, we show up and cut off the branches and leaves that make the whole plant sick." It was especially rare to say a long sentence, using more than ten syllables.
"Extermination of humanity?" Chen Zhen finally understood what the gardener meant, and when he talked about the branches and leaves that would make the earth "sick", it must be humans.
"No, we won't exterminate any of the Creatures, otherwise there is no need to disintegrate, humanity is dead, and this planet is still a planet with life." The red light in You's eyes was a little brighter than before.
"And how are you going to prune the foliage?" Chen Zhen felt that extinction was the easiest way.
"Give me my body back, and I'll tell you." You stretched out his hand to Chen Zhen again, but this time he didn't try to control Chen Zhen, as if he intended to persuade Chen Zhen with reason.
Chen Zhen thought for a while and said, "I'll give it back to you, but not now, I have something to do, I need to use your body, and I'll return it to you after I'm done." ”
"There's no point, there's no point in anything you're doing now, give it back to me, and you'll find that it's the right thing to do." You still hasn't given up.
"I'm sorry, right and wrong are subjective concepts, I think what I want to do is right, and when I'm done, I'll talk about other things right." Chen Zhen was unmoved.
"Then ......" You didn't finish his words, choosing to control Chen Zhen.
The darkness was immediately released, and Chen Zhen immediately ran backwards, jumping up and destroying the roof of the cave.
He's going to add another layer of isolation.
The thin ice on the top of the cave was shattered, the limestone was broken, and large chunks fell, and the darkness was withdrawn and looked, You was walking this way, and after a few punches, the ice cave was finally blocked.
This is the escape method he thought of before entering the hole, You's body can pass through the big bug, turn into a black smoke state and float above the sea, but its feet will not sink into the ground, otherwise he will come to him through the wall, he has already been touched, not sure what it can pass through, what it can't pass through, anyway, it should be useful to make a wall.
This is not the innermost part of the cave, I don't know what will lie ahead, as long as the place is big enough, even if you can pass through the top of the cave that he smashed down, you can't catch up with him.
The hole is not long, but there is an exit over there, and it is a series of complex types outside, and the temperature is gradually rising, and finally, Chen Zhen came to a deep pit with plants, and there is a boulder above his head, and there are gaps on the edge of the boulders, and the light shines in through the gaps, and plants grow here.
The gap is not big, but it can be expanded, Chen Zhen climbed up the pit wall, came to the gap, picked up the soil and drilled out, and then went back to fill the gap.
Returning to the ground, this time Chen Zhen didn't plan to go to the wormhole again, debated his approximate location, took out his compass and looked at the direction, he walked to the southwest, Yangcheng should be there.
