Chapter 583: Star Swallowing Worm

I saw that the wreckage of a huge Milos-class starship was lying in the center of the crater, the starship was broken into several knots due to the impact, and there was not much debris around, apparently the force of the explosion carried away these fragments, and only a few large wreckage remained around the huge crater.

Although the materials used to make the starship are special, so many years of erosion have made it completely different, plus some marine vegetation and dust cover, these starship wrecks are more like hills under the sea, if Leo is not extremely familiar with this type of starship, it may be difficult to recognize the origin of these mountain-like wreckage at a glance.

The Milos-class starship can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized warship among all kinds of space warships, and the reason why this battleship is famous is because of its needle-tip shape, and its strongest weapon is not the various energy weapons on the battleship, but the needle-tip bow of the battleship.

Because the material used in the bow of the ship is a special material called Death Star Ore, which has indestructible power, so that its role on the battlefield is more like those medieval lancers in the ancient Earth era, interspersed with melee combat, through the bow impact, to destroy the enemy ship, so in the Earth Federation, this kind of battleship is also called a knight warship.

Right now, the bow of the battleship was plunged straight into the center of the crater, and the ground was undistinguished, looking like a huge tombstone from a distance, and some glowing plankton perched on the wreckage of the battleship, making it stand out in the dark depths of the sea.

At this moment, Leo barely needed to use his psionic vision anymore to see that the source of the inert energy wave was the needle-tip wreckage in the center of the crater, and there was a striking crack next to the wreckage, which caused the bow wreckage to move a little to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Leo had already thought about why there was no inert energy wave area here before, but the reason why it appeared now, apparently the earthquake that occurred in the pearl island chain not long ago also affected here, alarming the starship wreckage on the bottom of the sea, and then triggering some of the devices, such as the inert energy wave field generator.

After thinking about this, Leo couldn't help but be curious and excited about what was left behind in the bow of this starship. Because the bow of the Milos-class starship is extremely strong, even if the hull is blown to pieces, the bow will still be well preserved, so important facilities such as the battleship bridge and material warehouse are placed here.

Judging by the fact that the inert energy wave generator is still in use, there must still be a large amount of equipment in the storage room of the bow that is well preserved and ready to use, which is undoubtedly a tempting asset for Leo.

With excitement, Leo was preparing to descend from the crater on the outer edge of the crater to the bottom of the crater, and enter the bow of the starship that had been buried in the ground to find the advanced civilization technology equipment that could be used.

But he was just halfway down when he suddenly stopped, and then quickly moved into a dense sea of vegetation and hid.

Just as he was hiding, a huge creature like a transparent worm slowly squeezed out of the crack in the ground, and then squirmed little by little to the center of the crater, and the wreckage of the starship came out, wrapping its huge body around the wreckage.

"Star-Eater, how can there be a Star-Eater here?" Leo exclaimed in shock when he saw the giant worm and saw the light spots in its transparent body that flickered like a nebula.

The Star-Eater is a cosmic-level protist, it is produced in the Misa Nebula, the space of this nebula is not stable, there are often some spatial rifts, and before the spatial rift disappears, there will be a large amount of energy gushing out of the rift and pouring into this nebula, which also makes this nebula full of various cosmic energy and rays, so it is also called the garbage heap of cosmic energy.

Some advanced civilizations have counted the cosmic energy and rays that appear here, and finally found that nearly 96% of the known energy and rays in the universe have appeared here, so it has become a holy place for various advanced civilizations to study cosmic energy.

In such a nebula with chaotic energy and fragile space, there should not have been any life, but what is unexpected is that there is still a kind of life that is tenaciously generated, grown, and evolved in such an environment, and this life is the star-swallowing worm.

Because of the special environment of growing in the Misa Nebula, the Star Eaters evolved a special ability to devour all energy when they evolved, and as they grow, their form is also growing, and this ability to devour all energy is also constantly strengthening and changing, from simply devouring energy, to finally devouring all matter, and finally reaching the point of being able to devour stars.

And at the moment of their death, the energy they devoured in the past will be emitted at one time, forming a collapse effect, pulling and concentrating all the surrounding matter, producing fission, and finally painting a new vibrant star, so some people call the star eater a star maker.

The Stareater has a docile temperament, as long as you don't provoke it or attack it, there will be no danger of being attacked by him, but it doesn't mean that the Stareater is harmless.

In fact, although the Stareater will not actively attack, it will be affected by the tendency of instinct if there is a strong energy fluctuation nearby, and they will follow the instinctive drive and go over to devour and absorb it, even if the energy reaction comes from the engine of a certain spaceship, and the creatures in the spaceship are regarded as small desserts.

Although Leo is a sixth-level psionic, it is just an appetizer for the Star-Eater, in fact, it has not reached the level of an omega-level high-level lifeform, and any life is the same food in the Star-Eater's heart.

Judging from the current situation, this stareater is only a juvenile truncation, because it can only swallow energy, which is good news for Leo, because if the stareater evolves to the adult stage, it will not only be able to absorb energy, but also have the ability to devour some matter, in that case, it will be tantamount to a disaster for Velon.

Leo didn't know if the Stareater had fallen to the world of Veron with the starship, or if the Stareater itself was in this world, but he knew that the Stareater was now attracted by the inert energy wave here, and it was impossible for it to leave until it had completely digested the inert energy.

Leo thought about it for a while, and decided to go up to the surface of the sea first, after all, the bottom of the sea is not a suitable place to think about problems, but before leaving, he casually picked up a piece of completely deformed spaceship armor fragment from the bottom of the sea, and then quietly exited the crater, and then used psionic energy to push him towards the place where the dinghy docked, moved over, and soon returned to the dinghy.

"How's it going? have you found something good?" asked Old Belen, who had seen countless treasures, was still very keen on things like treasure hunting, and couldn't wait to see Leo emerge from the water.

Leo threw the piece of ship armor in his hand into the dinghy, and then climbed onto the dinghy, only to wipe the seawater from the towel handed by Belen the Elder, although he could easily use his psionic energy to disperse the water, but he didn't do that, because he didn't intend to let people know the details of his abilities.

Old Belen's mind was not on Leo at the moment, his attention was all on the fragments of deformed armor that Leo had thrown on the deck of the dinghy.

"It's Ocada Metal, it's Ocada Metal!" he picked up the piece of armor from the ground, looked at it carefully, and then let out an exclamation full of joy.

"Okada Metal?" Because of the acquisition of a smelter, Leo naturally also has some knowledge of the smelting history and metal types of the vinylon world, among which Okada Metal is considered the most perfect metal in the world.

It's just that the information about the Okada metal has always been the confidential information of various countries, and no relevant information has ever been disclosed to the public except for one name, so Leo doesn't know much about this metal, and he just thinks it's a psionic metal.

But now that he heard Old Belen's words, he realized that he had thought wrong before, the Okada metal was not a psionic metal at all, but this special battleship armor metal.

"It's normal that you don't know Okada Metal, in fact, there are very few people in the world who know this metal," Old Belen saw Leo's expression and thought that Leo didn't know Okada Metal, so he explained: " This metal is derived from star fragments, but it was not possible to smelt these fragments into metal for a long time, until a small blacksmith named Okada in the kingdom of Maris discovered a smelting agent, which allowed these star fragments to be smelted into a perfect metal so hard that nothing could destroy it, so the nations named this perfect metal after the name of the little blacksmith. ”

After listening to Old Belen's introduction, Leo can also understand why the countries of the Valon world regard this metal as a perfect metal, and indeed the technological level of the Valon world, unless it is an omega-level advanced life form, it cannot cause any damage to this metal at all.

"Is there any Orcada metal down there?" asked Old Belen in a hurry, "This kind of star fragment appears in large numbers every time it appears. ”

"There are indeed some more, but it's not easy to take right now, there are things underneath, wait a while, take the things and leave, and then go down." Leo explained vaguely.

"Do you want me to go down and help?" offered Old Belen.

"You?" Leo looked at the other man with a slight suspicion.

"I have a way to be able to stay at the bottom of the ocean for a while. Belen the Elder explained.

Leo shook his head and said, "No need, now the situation in the sea is special, your method may be affected, or wait until nightfall, I'll go down alone!"

Old Belen didn't force it, he took the piece of armor, went to the other end of the boat, took out some tools from his pocket, and carefully examined the details of this piece of armor.

Leo casually found a place to sit down, closing his eyes and recuperating as he sensed the changes in the inert energy field around him.

The inhibition effect of the star-swallowing insect on the inert energy field is still very large, and in just a short period of time, the surrounding inert energy field has weakened a lot, and this weakening situation is still continuing, I believe that in another hour or so, the surrounding inert energy field will also disappear completely.

Estimating by the speed at which the inert energy field was disappearing, Leo felt that this star-swallowing insect was not only in the larval stage, but also very young, otherwise, the weakening rate of this inert energy field would not have been so slow.

After judging the age of the Star-Eater, Leo was also a little relieved, because although the larval period of the Star-Eater is the shortest of all the growth cycles, it is also calculated in 10,000 years, so in a short period of time, the world of Velen at least does not have to worry about being eaten by the Star-Swallowing Worm.

Moreover, even if the Stareater grows up, there are so many gods in the world of Velon, they should be able to deal with the Stareater before it can cause fatal damage to this world.

In this state of resting and thinking, time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened, and Leo felt that the energy waves around him had weakened to the point of almost disappearing, so there were waves on the surface of the water, and currents appeared at the bottom of the water.

The changes around him naturally attracted the attention of old Belen, who knew that Leo should be able to make a move, although he didn't know what was going on underwater.

Sure enough, Leo, who had been closing his eyes since just now, stood up, didn't talk nonsense, jumped directly into the water, quickly sank to the bottom, and swam in the direction of the crater.

In the deep sea, there is not much difference between day and night, both are equally dim, although there is no inert energy wave guidance, but through the topography of the seabed, Leo still came to the water above the crater smoothly, and looked towards the crater.

"Damn!" After seeing the situation clearly, Leo couldn't help but curse, because he found that the star-swallowing insect had swallowed all the energy generated by the inert energy wave generator, and did not leave, but was full of food and drink, physically and mentally sleepy, sleeping and digesting in place, its huge body was just about to be wrapped in the wreckage of a starship, and there was not even a trace of gaps.

However, fortunately, the Stareater only wrapped the part on the ground of the starship, and the part below the ground remained the same, and because there was a crack opened by the earthquake, Leo could easily approach the bow of the starship from underground, provided that there was an entrance and exit to the part he was close to, otherwise he would have to find a way to open an entrance and exit by himself.

Leo carefully controlled the psionic energy, trying not to escape as much as possible, and then quickly fell into the crack in the crater.

In order to prevent the Stareater from sensing the psionic energy and eating him as an after-dinner dessert, after he fell into the rift, he did not use the psionic energy again, but relied on his hands to quickly paddle the sea water and rush towards the bow of the starship.

After about ten minutes, Leo had already reached the crack under the Stareater's body, and when he looked up, he could see the transparent body of the Stareater above.

Everything suddenly went as smoothly as expected, and just as he was about to move on, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of hunger, the source of this feeling was his chaotic stomach, and the cause of this feeling seemed to be the Star-Swallower, and the Chaos Stomach made him feel the urge to eat the Star-Eater.
