Chapter 13: The Tanlons

Mo Lan finally gave in.

Shiqi's suggestion is indeed what she needs at the moment, so she can only throw away the little antipathy for tentacles in her heart and start arranging insect hands to fight the star falling insects.

There are two ways to deal with starfall insects, one is simple but requires a little consumption, and the other is slightly more troublesome, there is no consumption but a lot of time will be wasted.

The simple way is to arrange for more than a dozen Zerg to climb up along the trunk of the tree, and after throwing one to feed the Starfall Worm, the other Zerg will tear off the Starfall Worm, one Zerg or even two for one Starfall Worm, it is not necessarily a loss, anyway, Mo Lan's goal is the gene of the Starfall Worm.

The complicated method is to have the worker cut down the Kahur tree that inhabits the starfall insects by the roots, so that the starfall insects on the top of the tree will fall down and die, because the Kahur tree is hard, so it takes a little more time to do it.

After thinking about it, Mo Lan still chose the former, she is the queen of the Zerg, and the Zerg itself is a consumable, there is no need to save, and there is no need to be soft-hearted.

The day was far away, and in the long night, one star after another was dragged to the ground, and the decay film transformed both the starfall worm and the undigested Zerg in its belly into pure energy without discrimination.

To Mo Lan's surprise, the Starfall Worm turned out to be quite nutritious, which was manifested in the fact that under the same size, the energy transformed by the Starfall Worm was three times that of other creatures, and Mo Lan could recover at least three times the energy of a Zerg if he lost it.

"Starfall insects are extremely nutritious insect creatures, their bodies are rich in a variety of elements, with ......" Shiqi began to whisper in Mo Lan's ear again, it was a recipe.

Mo Lan was surprised, she didn't expect that the star worm was still a more famous ingredient in the interstellar world, not that it was delicious, but that it was nutritious, so there were many special farms......

In addition, it is quite beautiful at night, and it is also half a tourist attraction, and it is said that a hundred years ago, many people were willing to enjoy the beauty of the stars on the ground.

Thinking about it, Mo Lan suddenly let out a surprise on the planet she landed, but she didn't expect that there were many well-known interstellar species on it, and it stands to reason that the Zerg Empress chose for their ten sisters to be relatively remote planets that are not easy to be detected by the Terrans.

Wait a minute...... It seems to have been mentioned before that the Kahur tree was discovered by humans by accident, because it has a very large role and many functions, and is also known as the tree of life, and human beings have planted this kind of tree on many planets, until the later human beings re-developed, the Kahur tree no longer occupies an important position, and slowly disappeared from the sight of humans.

Humans have planted Kahur trees on many planets, Mo Lan recalled this sentence, so, is the Kahur tree on this planet Tanlonger planted by humans or is it native to this planet?

Or, the planet that the Zerg Empress chose for her was not the same as the other sisters.

Mo Lan lowered her head, thoughtful.

The 257th star of the Northern Shaking Light Galaxy, the planet Tannon sounds very similar to the naming method of humans.

"Shiqi ......" Mo Lan was just about to ask Shiqi, when the spiritual network was suddenly touched, and some lifeforms suddenly broke into the coverage of her spiritual network.

……

"Parker, is it really okay? I felt like it was dangerous, as if someone was staring at me all the time. The skinny boy with a dark-skinned color, almost the color of sauce, cowered and held a half-man-long metal rod in his hand, and followed the older boy in fear.

"There are only dry handkerchiefs around here, and they can use a pair of eyes at night, and they are very blind, and they can run away when they meet them, do you still want to help Grandma, Hulan." The socket of one of the big boy's eyes in front of him was a little white, as if it had been covered by something for a long time, which did not match his dark skin, but the pupils were extra bright in the night.

The two boys, who were only about thirteen or fourteen years old, were not wearing any extra clothes, a simple pair of shorts, and their upper bodies were naked, and there were still a lot of scars left on them.

"Grandma is pregnant with her younger brother, so she needs to eat nutritious food." Parker looked up at the Kahur tree that couldn't be seen, and his tone was firm, "The glowing insect can only be used with tentacles, as long as you find a way to pull it down, Grandma will have milk for her brother to eat." ”

"But, but......" Hulan almost cried, he could clearly feel a huge terrifying gaze staring at him.

Parker waved the long metal stick in his hand and flew away a snake that suddenly attacked, it was the kind of snake that Mo Lan had met before that would disguise itself as a vine, and at night, they also gave up their disguise and took the initiative to attack.

"Don't be in a daze, pay attention to the curved vines, they are poisonous, and you won't be able to work next day." Parker smashed the snake's head in its entirety before picking it up and putting it in the improvised cloth pocket he had wrapped around his waist.

Although this snake is unpalatable and poisonous, it can also be used as food if it is handled, and a little bit of toxin is nothing to the Tanloners, and it is better than not having to eat it at all.

Mo Lan was shocked to pay attention to the two brothers who suddenly appeared, although they looked quite different from earthlings, and the language in their mouths was also incomprehensible to Mo Lan, but Mo Lan was very sure that this was a human being.

This planet is really a planet occupied by the human race.

"Ah, I found it." Shiqi suddenly spoke.

Before Mo Lan could ask what it was, she found that a bunch of data suddenly came from Shiqi in the spiritual network, and after converting it with spiritual power, a translator with hundreds of thousands of languages appeared in Mo Lan's spiritual network.

"Thanks! Pick up the qi. Mo Lan's eyes lit up, in fact, the Zerg Empress had a more convenient way, such as forcibly invading the boys of these two boys with her spiritual power, making people into a semi-idiot state, receiving all the memories of the other party, and naturally being able to understand the language they spoke, or eating them directly, there will also be a part of language in the genes.

But after all, Mo Lan was a person, and she couldn't do such a cruel thing, let alone two children at first glance.

"Something is wrong." Parker took the initiative to stop and looked around, "We've been walking inside for so long, and we haven't seen anything but the bent vines. ”

"Either the Kampa took advantage of the dawn to store food and empty the area."

"Either that, or something more powerful is suddenly appearing around here."

Hulan almost cried, "Then, let's go back." ”

Parker was ruthless and gritted his teeth, "Keep walking, it may not be able to see us, there are no other creatures, let's catch the glowing worm better, grandma can't wait." ”

The last sentence, the voice that was almost forced out of his throat, Hulan's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Shiqi, do you know this planet?" Mo Lan asked suddenly.

"There is no record of this in the information."

"That's it......" Mo Lan continued to observe the two boys, the distance between the two sides was not far, but she deliberately kept the two children, so that the nearby Zerg avoided them, so the two boys walked relatively smoothly this way.

Coincidentally, their target is also the Starfall Worm, but Mo Lan has just caught most of the Starfall Worms in this vicinity, and dozens of Soldier Worms are waiting in the hatching nest to come out.

As a result, the two boys got closer and closer to where Mo Lan was...... Mo Lan didn't shy away.

In order to have enough vision at night, Parker tied one of his own eyes for eighteen days during the day, and at this time, he noticed a soft whiteness in his field of vision more than his younger brother Hulan, who could only follow him.

It was a woman's shoulder, white and flawless reflecting a faint soft light in the light of the stars at night.

Is she undressed? Parker thought inappropriately, and subconsciously stepped forward to try to see more clearly.

Then Parker saw the extremely beautiful woman, dressed in a blouse woven of leaves, and the other man's terrible spider-like lower body.

As if he had been shocked, Parker couldn't make a sound, his body trembled and he couldn't move.

“…… She was watching me! Hulan let out an inexplicable cry that woke Parker from that fear.

From the moment he entered the forest, Hulan had always felt that he was being watched, and the moment he saw Mo Lan, the gaze that was staring at him suddenly found the source, and Hulan cried out in fear.

"Hey, that's a lot of inspiration." Seeing these two boys, Mo Lan noticed that the younger boy had some very high inspiration.

Inspiration and perception both come from mental power, the former is passive, the latter is active, usually 1 point of mental power only has 1 point of inspiration or perception, but there will always be some exceptions, with the ability to far exceed their own mental power.

Like the old man, and like the boy in front of him.

"Are you going to eat them?" Shiqi asked in the spiritual network.

"Maybe." Mo Lan replied that she was now the queen of the Zerg, and humans were the enemies of the Zerg, and she would not be merciful when necessary.

……

"Tannon turned out to be a mining star." Mo Lan nodded.

"Discarded." Pick-up added.

"But in fact, there is still a considerable part of the mineral resources here, isn't it, but the more expensive part has been picked up." Mo Lan didn't care, her expression was faintly excited.

There is not only the Almighty Tree of Life on this planet, but also a considerable part of the basic mineral resources, which are simply for the development of the dual mode of human race + zerg that she thought before.

According to the two brothers, Tamloner is a very remote mining star, there is a valuable mineral called "benzene fluorine", which was discovered by interstellar humans and colonized and occupied, and some of the indigenous Tanlons were bought to follow those interstellar people to other galaxies, and the other part was left behind as miners.

About a few hundred years ago, the benzene fluorine on this planet was completely excavated, and the interstellar people left a part of the armed forces to guard the natives to dig other minerals, and no longer cared about this extremely remote planet, but every few years there would be interstellar spaceships to take away the mined minerals.

This group of natives also thought about resisting, but there was no effect, when it was colonized, the technology level of this planet was still in the era of cold weapons, so many years except for the machines in the mining area, there was no other technology, except for making the compatriots more oppressed, the resistance had almost no other effect, so in the past hundred years, there have been no rebels on the planet Tannon to make trouble.

However, this does not mean that life is much better for the people of Tanlon.

Because the benzene fluorine was excavated, the advanced mining machines were taken away, leaving only some old models, many of which were destroyed in several troubles by the rebels, and the interstellar people stationed in Tanloner did not repair them, and after suppressing the rebels, they let other Tanlonians dig with their bodies in front of them, and later even the good machines were shut down, using the clumsy way of artificiality.

The star of Tanlonr is a thirty-six day and night, and working in the dark requires a high-powered light to see things, but perhaps for the Tanlons, this group of interstellar people never turn on the lights at night.

If you don't mine, you won't have food to eat, and if you can't dig enough mines, but mining at night is full of dangers, so many Tanlons have set their sights on the forests at night, and if they are lucky, they can harvest more food than mining, and of course it is more dangerous.

"Just let them go?" Shiqi looked out from Mo Lan's line of sight, and it was two figures who were laboriously dragging the corpses of the starfall insects.

"I have a better idea." Mo Lan smiled and retracted her gaze, "Okay, next, let's try a new soldier insect." ”
