【Brain Eater Nest Mother (Benign Aberrant Species)】

【Second Energy Level, Larva, Cornerstone, Edible】

[The alien symbiotic life that has undergone multiple artificial modifications has now changed beyond recognition and has no longer reverted to its original form. Its original form is a brainstem slug that can coexist with sub-intelligent beings, giving it intelligence, and after evolution, it can make symbiotes connect to the brain slug psionic network.

[After atavistic aberration, phagocytosis assimilation will be achieved by forcibly connecting the neural network, and the female worm will perform adaptive distortion and metamorphosis according to the location of the nest]

[Current form: thunder, fire]

[Essentia: 3209.5531 elite units]

【……】

In the Prophetic Horizon, the carapace of the female worm resembles a blue crystal prism with a deep purple tinge and a light blue mist—a characteristic peculiar to the higher levels of the second energy level and above.

And the other party is actually just a larva, which shows that the complete body of the female worm has the potential of the fourth energy level!

If it weren't for the fear of exposure, Ian almost gasped.

The strength of the mother worm is even more terrifying than he imagined, and it stands to reason that this parasite should not have no strength without a parasite? Why is the female worm so strong?

No, that's not right......

As everyone held their breath and hid in the passage above the rift, Ian continued to observe carefully, a silver-blue streamer flickering in his eyes.

He had a faint glimpse of the past......

A crazy man, a harmless mollusc.

An advanced and bright laboratory, a row of genetic samples of powerful creatures.

"This life must have the ability to adapt to all harsh and extreme environments...... Whether it's the ocean floor or lava, whether it's high in the sky or the polar regions, in the middle of thunder or in the void high above the heavens—it has to have that ability! ”

"Evolution is too slow, genetic modification is too difficult, since this is the case, let's go to aberration!"

"With the fastest distortion, the death of tens of millions of progeny, the characteristics of benign distortion are selected, and then summarized back into the psionic network...... In this way, one day, you will be able to achieve the ultimate metamorphosis and transform into the ultimate life! ”

"No matter what kind of natural disasters and doomsday you will face next...... O life that can reach the future, you will have eternal life! ”

In the midst of the maniac laughter, the form of the weak slug began to change rapidly.

No, it's an aberration.

Because of its simplicity, it can carry almost all the mutations - harmless soft slugs, which have been transformed into ferocious parasitic predators in the process of distortion and generation.

And all this was shattered by the will of the five who came together.

The psionic network shattered, and the Brain Eater fell silent.

It wasn't until decades ago, for unknown reasons, that the swarm that reorganized the psionic network revived and rebuilt the hive, causing the ruins to dissipate heat abnormally, causing a major storm to occur decades later.

And that's where it all began.

"Ian? You okay?! ”

Aking from his vision, Ian heard Isengard's low-pitched concern, "You're bleeding...... Stop! ”

Shaking his head, the boy came to his senses, and he noticed that his eyes and nose were bleeding again, but thankfully Ethan had noticed this in the first place, and used his wind essentia to suppress the flow of air around him.

Otherwise, Ian's blood smell spreads, and it may attract the attention of the braineaters around him.

As soon as his mind moved, Ian used the source seed to control the blood in his body, and he felt a wave of fatigue in his heart, as if he had just fought with someone: "Whew...... It seems that you have to be careful in the future, although the Foresight Horizon is powerful, the consumption after advancement should not be underestimated. ”

If a normal first-level high-level sublimator has more than 1,500 basic units of essentia in his body, then Ian probably has about 2,000, which is the essentia reserve of the peak level of the first level.

This is already the upper limit of the first energy level.

Of course, far from all of his hole cards. With the use of the Ancient Dragon Core and the coordination of the silver chip, Ian can increase his essentia limit to nearly 3000 basic essentia units, and continuously recover at a high speed.

Coupled with the high physical fitness bonus of the Sha Armor apprentice, this is the confidence that he dares to challenge Patrick.

But just now, when he used the Foresight Horizon to observe the mother worm of the Brain Eater, he consumed more than 200 basic units of physical strength in an instant.

In an instant, it consumes one-tenth of his physical strength, and the consumption of any exercise is far from comparable, so Ian's body is overloaded in an instant.

"When I looked at Andor before, I only consumed a few units of basal essentia at most...... It seems that the reason why the observation target also has spiritual energy, and its strength is far superior to mine, if I advance to the second energy level and the basic essentia transforms into an elite essentia, then the consumption is estimated to be much less. ”

Restraining his spirit and suppressing the minor injury, Ian continued to observe the brain eater mother in front of him, his eyes curious: "Benign aberration...... It seems that it is similar to the previous aberrant people, but all of them are benign aberrant characteristics? ”

After such a turmoil, the three of them can be regarded as calming down, and they can seriously observe this strange head that is obviously very difficult to mess with.

"This female worm is somewhat similar to the sea devil insect on the other side of the Whale Song Cliff, and the surface carapace also has some characteristics of a crystalline dragon."

This is the observation of Master Gosai, the old man frowned slightly, and carefully observed with a small telescope: "What is behind this hive?" It can provide such a huge amount of energy for the mother worm...... Look at the fluorescent flesh beneath its carapace, it's rapidly developing...... Wait, this is a larva?! ”

Soon, Master Gosai came to the conclusion that he was shocked: "Although it is not yet the peak of the second energy level...... But that's enough to show that it has the potential of the fourth energy level! ”

The fourth-level demonic beasts, all of which are giant beasts with names and nests, are existences that need headaches for an empire.

It's just that there are crystalline dragons and frost moths in this ruin, and there is actually a parasite with fourth-level potential?

"Teacher, have you noticed?"

Isengard was also using the telescope, and the boy turned the lenses and focused them so that he could see more details clearly: "Look, where the blue crystal carapace meets the lair, something is wriggling there...... I don't quite know what that looks like metal and crystal colloids are. ”

"Oh?"

Master Gosai also adjusted his position, and then was stunned.

After a moment, his old man's tone suddenly became excited: "Glory of light, this is, this is living metal?!" ”

"It's Morion Steel! It is a necessary material for high-level aether armament, Morion Living Steel! ”

"Oh?"

Because Ian was recuperating his eyes just now, he didn't follow up on the observation at the first time, and although he didn't have a telescope, his psionic energy and silver chip were stronger than the telescope.

He also noticed the wriggling metallic gelatin, and noticed the dark purple with a cyan halo, and his heart couldn't help but move: "Why is there Morion Steel here?" It seems that the crystal plating on the surface of the female worm should be the function of living steel. ”

Morion steel, also known as living steel, is a translucent metal crystal that is very hard in texture but surprisingly malleable under the influence of psionic energy.

The world's largest source of live steel in Terra is located in the northeast coast of the continent in the Falling Star City and the Dwarves' Heavenly Domain, the elves as natural psionic creatures, have a natural sensitivity to live steel, and the dwarves are simply historical relics, and their ancestral holy land is the world's largest live steel vein in Terra.

It is said that among the elves, there is a group of extremely wealthy and skilled elves who will use pure Morion steel as their bodies, and they call themselves 'steel goblins' or 'silver elves', which is an extremely special high-level inheritance among the elves.

Among the dwarves, there is also the inheritance of the 'Iron Master', which was borrowed by the Lord of the Third Energy Stone of Immovable City, so he also needed highly purified Morion Steel as an irreplaceable potion aid.

- Is there Morion steel in this place...... Originally, I thought I would go to other places to find or buy with a lot of money, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to start this time.

Thinking of this, Ian nodded slightly.

Today should be the day when he has the easiest time to get this rare material!
