Chapter 418: Let's talk first
It's not the first time to communicate with mutant creatures, whether it's an uncle or a soft girl, it's a dangerous creature.
So I was only slightly surprised and continued to look for a way to kill it without blood.
"I'll give you the source of life, let me go."
"Can you live without a source of life?"
"Yes, I'll be a normal creature."
"Oh~"
I noticed that it used the word 'life source', and Li Jixian also called it 'power'.
A coincidence is unlikely, but the metal vine has just evolved, and it is unlikely that Li Jixian communicated with it before me.
If Li Jixian hadn't communicated with metal vines, he must have had contact with other similar creatures.
Creatures that have evolved to the humanoid stage seem to naturally communicate in the way of intelligent creatures.
I couldn't understand why they could talk to me without learning human language.
Now that I figured it out, they could get into my head and communicate in a way I could understand.
This kind of communication translates into a language that I can understand, and if I were a Sioux national, I would be in my head at this moment.
But I call the energy core of its evolution the power source, and if it follows my train of thought, it should be called that way.
Coupled with the fact that Li Jixian knows so much about metal vines, I still think they may have communicated.
"Yes, hand over the source of life, and I'll let you go." The most cunning is the human heart, and while I pass the message to it, I am thinking about cutting it down and eradicating it after I get the source of life.
"Okay, you let me go first."
I took back the black cloud, but I didn't put it away completely, I just made it look like I was taking it back, and I was actually still guarding against it.
The metal vine writhed its limbs and stood in an odd position, its legs bent and its back hunched, and as the black cloud retreated to me, it suddenly raised its head, its vague vision huddled together, and it looked like it was laughing.
Then suddenly there was a strange smell in the room, stronger than the one smelled on the other side of the bridge.
Despite my precautions, I inevitably inhaled some poisonous gas, which inhaled into my body, and the toxins contained in it quickly attacked my central nervous system.
I used the internal vision method to observe the changes in my body, and then a large amount of mental energy was output, which increased the vitality of cells and nerves and resisted toxin attacks.
As Li Jixian said, a trace amount of toxin is useless against zombies, but if the dose is increased, even high-level zombies can't bear it.
But my purpose is not to fight the toxin, but to buy myself time, and if I fall a minute late, the metal vine will take a big step towards death.
The black cloud, which had not been fully recovered, re-wrapped the metal vine and wrapped it into a black ball.
There were windows in the basement, and I smashed them and used a black cloud fan to blow the aroma out of the house.
There is a process of formation of the brain waves of the metal vines, which were not there when I entered the house, but now they have formed a mature brain wave.
The trick of feigning surrender didn't work, and the metal vine was completely furious, and its scream rang out in my head, and its voice became piercing and high-pitched.
On the surface of its body, there seemed to be countless pores, and at the same time, a silver mist was spewed out, which felt like atomized mercury.
Unfortunately, with my black clouds in the way, the silver spray failed to spread, and the annoyed humanoid vines desperately slammed into the black cloud ball that trapped it.
"You scum, traitor, scum!" The invective of humanoid vines crept into my mind.
Cadaver? I thought the word was new, I had never heard it before, and I was in no hurry to kill it.
"Okay, be quiet, answer my questions well now, and if I'm satisfied, I'll let you go." I added in an accentuated tone, "Really." ”
The humanoid vines stopped scolding, and they stopped kicking and kicking, and most of the aroma in the room was blown away by the black cloud fan, and the remaining dose couldn't poison me at all.
The fact is in front of you, the humanoid vine will only die faster if it continues to toss, it seems to be aware of this, so it reverts to that soft and waxy voice and asks, "Really?" ”
"Really."
"Okay, you ask."
I haven't been able to 'monitor' Li Jixian's spiritual network, he is a high-level spiritual ability, I don't want to be attacked on my back, after knowing his ability level, I stopped attacking him, leaving only the spiritual network to monitor his movements.
Li Jixian didn't leave, and he didn't fight back, there are two possibilities, one is that he can't beat me and wants to get my blood, and the other is that he wants to borrow my hand to kill the humanoid vine.
No matter what Li Jixian had in mind, I decided to talk to the humanoid vine first, which was easier to communicate with than the black red worm and the leopard man.
"Have you seen that man out there?" I asked.
"I haven't seen it." The humanoid vine was supposed to speak simply, but then there was silence for a moment, "Someone has been here before, more than once, but without him." ”
Li Jixian brought a group of people out of the security zone at the beginning, and it was not surprising that he had helpers, and the information he got may have been collected for him by his subordinates.
"Did they take your sample?" I continued to ask.
"Yes."
"Do you remember what you were?"
……
This time the humanoid vine was silent for an extended period of time, as if it had a memory, if it had a memory.
"I don't remember." There was silence for a few seconds before the humanoid vine replied.
Li Jixian knew that this building was the place where the humanoid vine was 'born', but it didn't remember it, so did that mean that Li Jixian paid attention to the metal vine when it first mutated?
It is not uncommon for the Prophet to be unpredictable, and the Immortals predict in advance which people will awaken their abilities and then train them to become cronies.
"You have no source of life, can you really continue to live?"
"Yes...... bar. "The humanoid vine is obviously unsure, it seems that it just wanted to bluff me, talking nonsense.
"What are you going to do to stay alive in the future?"
"Devouring the source of life."
The face of the humanoid vine is abstract, and its micro-expressions are not observable, but it should be true.
"Where did the source of life come from?" It's a question that has always bothered me about why some creatures get it and others don't.
"Underground, underground."
"From underground?"
"Yes."
I wasn't surprised to hear this answer, although I couldn't figure out why the special mutated creatures came about, but I did make some speculations.
It was also suspected that the red ball was alien technology, and that these creatures that evolved into human form were helped by aliens.
But the closest to realistic speculation is that this power comes from the earth itself, and of course, to link the red ball to humanoid evolution, I need more evidence.
"Have you ever seen a red ball? Were you born in the red ball? ”
"Red Ball...... You mean the eggs that feed me life and nourishment? It is red. ”
"It should be." I've never seen a red egg, I've only seen a red ball, and although the shape of the ball and the egg are a little different, since it has the function of providing life and nutrition, we should be talking about the same thing.
At the mention of red balls, I couldn't help but look around, the room was full of dust, but nothing was really red.
When the Leopardman came out of the red ball, the walls inside the building were red, and if the metal vines broke out of it, the room would definitely leave red marks.
Unless it wasn't born from this room, I remember that Li Jixian just pointed to this building, not this family.
"Where were you born?" To confirm my suspicions, I had to go to the site where the metal vine was born.
"Follow me." The metal vines in human shape resembled a rickety old man, bent over and hanging their heads, and walked out of the room with difficulty.
The vine has no bones, but it is not only a plant, but also made of metal, and who knows that when it makes vines, it is more 'tough' than a human.
Maybe it's in a weak period now, and when it's over this dangerous period, it'll be able to move like a normal person.
I followed it out the door to the open door of another house, and because of the thick dust that had fallen in front of it, I didn't go in to see it when I first came down.
The humanoid vine walked into the house, and I walked in after it, and I was a little surprised when I saw the pattern inside.
This family has opened up all the walls that are not load-bearing walls, and the house of more than 100 square meters has only one space, which is not divided into bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms at all.
The color of the wall is the red I am familiar with, the color of the red ball, and the windows of the room are covered with dark stickers, so that no light can penetrate it.
There was no furniture, groceries, or any signs of habitation, and it could have been a storeroom.
The street side of this building is lined with shops, and it is not impossible for someone to use the house as a storehouse.
However, in such a place, it is not strange to have metal, but in the case of plants, it is difficult to survive.
The creature chosen by the Red Ball should be grabbed nearby, and the metal vine is born from here, which means that when the Red Ball chose it, there were both metal and plants here.
Now the room was empty, and nothing could be found except the red residue on the walls.
But with this proof, I can be sure that the metal vines are indeed special creatures that the red ball brings.
However, when you get an answer, more questions pop up, the eight-handed eight-legged monster, the thunderbolt eight-legged monster, they don't have a source of life, so does it mean that even the creatures selected by the red ball are treated differently?
They have both similarities and differences, and I can't grasp the pattern for the time being.
At first, I thought that the red balls were full of zombies, but the black red worms, leopard people, and metal vines in front of me proved that this was not the case.
And more importantly, I can't be sure when they woke up, and it's very likely that they didn't wake up at the same time, so what's the point in between?
"Can I ask you a question?" The humanoid vine stood in the center of the room, turning its head to 'look' at me.
"What?"
"Will I get your strength if I eat you?" It was in a serious tone, it didn't feel like a provocation or a joke, it was supposed to be genuinely curious.
"I don't know, but... You can try. "I'll be honest too.
