Before entering, Lang Tianya had also imagined the situation inside the alien spacecraft. He thought that the inside of the "reef" would be a horror movie scene, and the first thing that caught his eye should be an empty passage made of bones, and the bones around him would show the dark color of metal oxidation, which would be extremely cold to the touch. The atmosphere in the passage should be cold and solemn, there is not a single figure in front of or behind, only the faint sound of monster patrolling footsteps in the distance.

He also imagined how he would use the Dark Domain Communication Technique to communicate with it or them if he happened to encounter a monster when entering, how he would make the other person think that he was just a long, somewhat strange fellow, and then how he would lure them into telling them where the most important heart of the ship was, and how he should walk to get there.

But the truth is not at all what he thinks. The outer armor of the "Reef" was a little thinner than he expected, just over a meter thick. As soon as his hand entered the inner layer through the outer armor, he touched a slimy inner membrane thicker than cowhide, and he immediately realized that this monster was not the empty shell of a spaceship that had been hollowed out by the monster as he had imagined, and it was still alive! Or whether its center of consciousness still exists, whether it is still conscious, at least its body is still alive! It seems that the Soul Eaters are already very advanced in terms of biotechnology, and their spaceships are actually alive.

He immediately remembered that Guo Songshan had briefly retold some of Zhang Daochang's statements to him. Zhang Daochang once said that the reason why the Soul Eaters did not kill humans was because they were waiting for the growth of humans, because they needed the bodies of high-level creatures to repair their flying machines. He had thought about this from the perspective of rune bone programming, and instinctively felt that this statement was not credible. Because after all, the flesh of high-level creatures is not as rich as the card slots contained in the rune bones, and it is not as stable as the rune bones that have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain.

Don't look at Pei Bo and Paul can temporarily use the flesh of the Soul Eater for Aura weapons, but this is not a long-term solution, after a long time, the operation cards and bullets made of flesh will soon become invalid, even if Pei Bo can find a way to consolidate it, at most the lifespan of a few months will be extended to a few years, and at most it will not exceed ten years. This time is not comparable to the life span of hundreds of years or even thousands of years of use of the talisman. A large talisman like a spaceship is to operate in a very cruel environment like space and the dark world, so how can it be repaired with fresh flesh and bones? But now that he saw that the ship itself was a living thing, he was starting to believe it a little. He just couldn't imagine how the Soul Eaters would carry out such a huge biological transformation project.

He again used the small horn procedure to pass through the intima. As he passed, the outer armor and inner membrane were all under the influence of the small horn program charm, and they returned to their original state after he passed. It was as if the massive organism had sensed his entry, and as soon as he entered the inner membrane, he was encased in a mucous membrane, as if a macrophage had discovered a pathogen. He was afraid of being attacked, so he reached out and tore open the mucous membrane. But the moment he tore it open, another layer of mucous membranes came up. He tore again, another layer of paste came over, he tore again, more mucous membranes surrounded him, and soon he was wrapped into a sphere by an unknown number of layers of mucous membranes.

He stopped tearing like crazy. After calming down, he suddenly realized that these mucous membranes were not actually hurting him, they were just surrounding him, slowly trembling, changing, and growing. Moreover, in the surrounding layer formed by the mucous membranes, there are some emotional particles that begin to communicate with him at the dark level, trying to build a bridge to connect his consciousness. With a movement in his heart, he shrank the shield of the big ball, revealing himself, and only limiting the shield to the nuclear bomb. Slowly, he felt that these mucous membranes extended a lot of things out of his body, there were bones, there were muscles, there was lining...... And a layer of scale armor!

With a "plop", he was "spit out" by a cavity and fell into a crowded passage. He was surrounded by soul eaters who had just been "spit out". These soul eaters are still very young, squishy and clumped together, most of their limbs are weak, and if they are not squeezed together, they will have a problem standing. But they're not small, they're already the size of a normal Soul Eater. At this time, Lang Tianya couldn't help but have a question in his heart, could it be that the Soul Eater didn't grow from a small monster to a big monster, but was born so big? While he was thinking about it, the newly-born monsters began to absorb the aura around them, their bodies slowly strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they hugged each other, squeezing hard into the end of the passage.

Only then did Lang Tianya find that the aura around him was quite abundant, and he hurriedly began to inhale the aura wildly, inputting the incoming aura particles into his monster shell, making it strong as soon as possible. While absorbing the aura, he looked out with the monster eyes on the shell. I saw that new monsters were constantly being spit out on the cavity walls around the passage, joining this army of newborns. Only then did he understand why he heard so many weak heartbeats outside. It turns out that this location is the hatchery base of the Soul Eater. At this time, a science fiction concept suddenly popped into his head: the brood.

He decided to study his shell first. Now he and the nuclear bomb on his back were wrapped in layers of bones, muscles, and scales, and the strange thing was that he didn't feel like he was operating a skeleton of flesh and bones, and the muscles that covered him really seemed to grow out of him, and he could command and receive with ease. He can absorb the aura through this shell, he can direct these bones and muscles to stretch and move, he can even feel its dark domain, but its dark domain does not merge with the dark domain of his real body, it can communicate with his consciousness, but it does not have the kind of subtle perception of his own real dark domain. Lang Tianya guessed that this feeling might be the feeling of ordinary martial artists towards their dark domain. To use an analogy, he feels like he is playing a virtual reality game, and he feels like he is playing a game on a tablet. On the other hand, the card slot inside the dark domain of the shell is also like an ordinary soul eater, with only a slight ability to move, and does not have the ability to transfer a large area like his dark domain.

Compared to the ordinary soul eaters in front of him, his shell was huge. Lang Tianya is like an unusually tall freak now. He was nearly twice as tall and stout as they were. He stood among them, like a flock, and was surrounded by them. Watching his "companions" move forward with purpose, while he was only passively pushed to follow the crowd, made him feel like a big fool with intellectual problems, stuffed into a large sausage stuffed with soul eaters.

There was a fork in the passage in front of him, and Lang Tianya obviously felt that the aura of one of the passages was stronger, so he also took the initiative to squeeze in that direction. Here, the monster army was split in two, entering two passages each. After entering the channel with a strong aura, Lang Tianya reacted, this should be a screening mechanism. It can divide newborn monsters into two types: those that are more sensitive to aura and those that are less sensitive to aura. He thought to himself, the monsters who went the other way didn't know if they would be rebuilt as scrap. This thought made him once again wonder about the social composition of creatures like Soul Eaters, after the concept of the brood brood, and whether their internal social structure was similar to that of ants.

As we walked, there was another fork in the road in front of me, this time it was still an aura concentration test, but this time the difference between the two passages was very small. But for Lang Tianya, it is still very easy to distinguish the thicker one. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to enter the passage where the aura was stronger. Because judging by the little sense of orientation he still had, this passage led to the center of the ship.

The third screening has arrived. Three passages were placed in front of them, which had already thinned out a lot, each passage had a net composed of flesh membranes, and the mesh of one of them only allowed small monsters to pass through, and Lang Tianya saw that many scouting monkey monsters easily passed. The mesh of the other one is neutral, but the walls of the passage are visibly wriggling, and it seems that it will take some effort to get through. Most of the medium-sized monsters entered from here. There were also some small monkey monsters who tried to get in from here, but were quickly squeezed out. The last one has no mesh, and its openings seem to be the size of the hole specifically designed for his size. This passage is vertically upwards and wriggles very violently. There were also quite a few tall monsters who tried to climb in from here, but they didn't take long to crawl before they were squeezed back by the pipe. It appears that the three holes are classified by tests of strength and perseverance.

Lang Tianya didn't seem to have a choice, the other two small mesh passages couldn't pass through at all with his size, unless he destructively tore the passage, or used the small horn program to break through the wall again. He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to enter the vertical upward passage. To his relief, he climbed in and was squeezed by the wall of the tube, which tried to squeeze him back, suggesting that he wasn't receiving any special attention, and that he was still being tested as a soul eater. So he struggled to claw at the wall around his body, resisting the squeezing and climbing up.

In the process of climbing, he was frightened by a problem that he suddenly realized. If calculated based on the speed at which monsters are produced, as well as the capacity of the passage and how crowded it is, the total number of monsters in this spaceship is probably ten times more than he originally estimated, and it is possible that there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of monsters in this huge spaceship. This terrifying thought made him realize that he had to complete this mission or the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if most of them are these "fragile" newborn monsters, the earth will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of such tens of millions of monsters.

After a long crawl, he finally crawled out of the passage and landed in a very open place with a thud. Before Lang Tianya could inspect the surrounding environment, he was attracted by a white European man ten meters away. The man was dressed in a modest suit, sitting on a bony chair with his legs crossed, and was drinking something from a cup with a saucer. Judging from the aroma wafting over, Lang Tianya should be drinking black tea. After taking a sip of tea, the man closed the lid of the cup and turned his head to look at Lang Tianya.

Although Lang Tianya could only see his side face, he still recognized him at a glance as the person Wang Xingang couldn't save after forgetting his life and death. He heard Qu Weiwen say at the time that this person's name seemed to be Steven.
