Chapter 4: The Six-Eyed Bear
Rob!
Man does not perish for his own sake.
Although he is no longer human, but it doesn't matter, Mo Lan shook off the messy thoughts and passed the order to attack to Xiao Jiang.
The cave dwellers are large bear-like creatures with brown-black hair all over their bodies, and the tallest male is four or five meters tall, surprisingly large.
On top of that, Mo Lan found this animal...... There are three pairs of eyes!
Yes, three pairs! Not three.
That day, Mo Lan recalled the terrifying memory of being stared at by hundreds of pairs of compound eyes of her sisters.
Damn, isn't it enough to have a pair of eyes?! Why do you grow so much!
"Roar!" The six-eyed bear in the cave let out a roar, like a demonstration, more like a vigilant bluff.
Mental power is exerted, although it is not visible to the naked eye, but it is active for certain mental powers...... In other words, creatures with higher inspiration will have corresponding feelings.
This six-eyed bear that lives in a cave is a creature with high intelligence and high inspiration, and it is very keenly aware of Mo Lan's spiritual power, and then perceives Mo Lan's existence.
Mo Lan, who has a huge spiritual power, is a rather terrifying and dangerous image in the spiritual perception level of other creatures - when a thing is big enough to look up at its existence, it will naturally give rise to fear.
Even if it is, it may not be a threat.
The roar of the six-eyed bear is a warning and threat to other creatures, and the loud sound can reflect the physical condition of the six-eyed bear, which is useful many times, after all, there are few creatures in this forest that can hurt the six-eyed bear.
If the Six-Eyed Bear is not injured, few creatures will choose to fight it, and the result of both sides may not survive.
But unfortunately, the opponent it met this time was the Zerg, the most terrifying race in the interstellar world that had nothing in its head except the empress's orders.
The battle ended quickly, somewhat unexpectedly.
Mo Lan was mentally prepared that she might have to wait for a long time, but in less than two minutes, the cave was completely quiet.
Xiao Jiang walked out of the shadow at the entrance of the cave, a few drops of blood dripping from the tip of the sharp tail behind him, and silently returned to Mo Lan's side, standing quietly.
Without reporting or telling, Mo Lan easily reviewed the specific scene from the link of the spiritual network - she was worried that she might not be able to stand the bloody scene just now, so she didn't use her mental power to probe the situation in the cave.
To briefly describe the process, Xiao Jiang rushed into the cave, Xiao Jiang and the male six-eyed bear in the cave confronted, the male six-eyed bear launched a bear paw attack, Xiao Jiang dodged, Xiao Jiang went around the back A, and the male six-eyed bear died.
It ended very suddenly, and Xiao Jiang's metal-like sharp tail pierced the six-eyed bear's head with almost no effort.
Mo Lan thought about it, and felt that it was quite normal, after all, the Zerg were a group of creatures that could even use stones and metals as food, and if they didn't have the ability to easily destroy hard substances such as metal stones, how could they treat these things as food.
It can only be said that the six-eyed bear is a bit off the mark, and the strength is added too much so that the speed can't keep up, no matter how strong the attack is, there is no way to damage it.
Moreover, Mo Lan looked at Xiao Jiang again, she seemed to see some traits in Xiao Jiang that once belonged to human beings - good at using everything around her to increase her advantage.
Although after crossing over, Mo Lan still felt that she was a human in her heart, but in fact, she was undoubtedly the complete queen of the Zerg, and she mastered all the knowledge of the Zerg no less than any of her sisters.
It's just that as a part of humanity in her mind, she can't accept reality well, so she instinctively doesn't think about most of the things about the Zerg.
The most primitive Zerg, with a body length of only about one meter and a weight of less than thirty kilograms, have few special advantages except for sharp mouthparts and an appetite that can digest and swallow anything.
Until the Zerg Empress devoured other creatures...... Different genes are fused into the newborn Zerg's body, taking on different forms.
But in the final analysis, the Zerg is still the Zerg, no matter what creatures are fused, the Zerg is always the Zerg, and it will not become another race because of the change of appearance, and the constant devouring is the eternal mission and fate of the Zerg.
Terran ...... In other words, human beings are the only variable encountered in the history of the Zerg.
A very small number of human genes devoured by the Zerg will give the individual Zerg the ability to think...... And this is the exclusive right of the Zerg Empress.
It's as if the authority of God has been given to mortals.
"Little ginger?" Mo Lan turned her head sideways and shouted the name she gave the other party, but there was no response, and the mental node was as blank and calm as ever.
Another manifestation of the human gene, perhaps? Thinking back to Xiao Jiang's performance in the battle, some small combat habits that violated the habits of the Zerg, Mo Lan guessed unreliablely.
The entrance of the cave is an irregular oval, with more than three meters at the highest point and four or five meters on both sides, which is already very spacious for Mo Lan, who is only more than two meters tall when she normally stands.
Someone probably wants to ask how the cave is only more than three meters high, so how does the six-eyed bear, which is four or five meters high, get in and out?
Is there a possibility...... Six-eyed bears crawl on all fours instead of standing upright on two legs.
The entrance is more than ten meters long, and then the interior of the cave, because the entrance of the cave blocks most of the sunlight, so the cave is dim, but fortunately, as a zerg, Mo Lan's eyesight is not affected.
It covers an irregular area of about one hundred or dozens of square meters, the height is around ten meters, and the highest point is close to twenty meters, although it is far less spacious than the space on the Zerg starship, Mo Lan is very satisfied, this place will belong to her in the future.
Near the entrance of the cave was the corpse of the male six-eyed bear, Mo Lan took a look and directly retracted his gaze, even if it was fluffy, it was still very worthwhile to have three pairs of eyes!
Further in, in the deepest part of the cave, was the corpse of a male six-eyed bear that was only more than three meters tall, which was also killed with one blow and ended neatly.
Mo Lan was a little puzzled, why were the two six-eyed bears so far apart, could it be that when the male six-eyed bear was injured, the female six-eyed bear didn't react?
A small cry of "huh, huh" sounded behind the female six-eyed bear, and Mo Lan was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a pair of six-eyed bear cubs who had not yet opened their eyes, and they had just been born less than a month ago.
In the face of the sudden appearance of the intruder, the female six-eyed bear has been guarding her child, but unfortunately she has not been able to do anything.
However, Mo Lan's attention was not on the touching friendship of the Six-Eyed Bear family, she suddenly turned to look at Xiao Jiang behind her.
A Zerg will let go of two lives that will die if they pinch it on the premise that the order is to attack?
Or is it the so-called influence of human genes? Mo Lan couldn't see anything wrong with Xiao Jiang, so she could only put aside this small matter for the time being and pay attention to other big things.
"They...... What should I do......"
Looking at the two six-eyed bear cubs in front of her, Mo Lan had a headache, kill them, I can't get over it with my conscience, and I can't get through that hand, but don't kill them, their parents have been killed by Mo Lan, and it looks very hypocritical.
Obviously mentally prepared to eat the strong, but in the end he was always swayed by the unnecessary morality and compassion of human beings, Mo Lan reached out and poked the two screaming cubs, the six-eyed bear.
It's weird, it's so scary when you grow up, and it's pretty cute when you're a cub.
"Then let's keep it first." Mo Lan sighed, thinking bitterly, maybe she could still use it as a ration when she had no food after she was raised.
There are a lot of things to do, and Mo Lan can only arrange them one by one first...... Fall! She couldn't arrange it at all!
The cave that is the dwelling needs to be cleaned up, and all the food and waste that the Six-Eyed family has eaten will be cleaned up, at least to the point that there is no odor.
The corpses of the six-eyed bear couple also need to be disposed of, since it is something that can be used as food, it is necessary to prevent the meat from rotting in a short period of time, and the fur is intact, so it is suitable for use as a blanket or anything.
The food of the two six-eyed bear cubs should also be considered, and the milk of some animals is the most suitable, and it should be okay to replace it with fruit juice.
There is also the flight capsule that was thrown in place, although there is nothing in it, but the flight capsule itself is a resource, and Mo Lan does not plan to leave it to the creatures of the forest, so she has to take the time to dismantle the flight pod and move it back to the cave.
Mo Lan looked at Xiao Jiang, who didn't react at all without giving an order, and was speechless, even if she added Xiao Jiang, she still couldn't be busy!
Was the journey of surviving from scratch so difficult in the first place?
"Gollum" made a roar in his stomach, and after the Zerg starship was dropped, Mo Lan hadn't eaten for nearly a day, and he would feel hungry and normal.
Touching her smooth little belly, Mo Lan was about to let Xiao Jiang cut two pieces of meat down for her to eat, when she suddenly froze in place.
Wait a minute, her humanoid upper body has a complete set of human abdominal organs, but her lower body, in addition to eight long legs, also has a belly!
Mo Lan covered her face, no wonder the other sisters were not hungry for ten days and half a month, and she was obviously not human, but she still maintained the human eating standard, three meals a day, and she never fell.
Because, she has been eating with a human mouth!
Think about how big a person's mouth is and how much they can eat...... Mo Lan never thought that the correct way for her, the queen of the Zerg, to eat was to rely on the part of the spider's abdomen in her lower body.
The abdomen of the lower half of the body is covered by a thin and hard carapace, and this carapace can be opened, and when opened, it will reveal a mouth that is a little more than three pairs of eyes.
From the mouth in the abdomen, a pure white mucous membrane like a spider's web will be spit out, and the food will be wrapped in the mucous membrane, which can absorb a large amount of nutrients in a short period of time to maintain the body's needs for days or months.
This is the way the Zerg queen should eat, it is short, efficient, convenient and fast.
It turns out that I really am not human anymore...... Mo Lan looked at the sky sadly.
