"Hair ...... What's wrong? ”

Gu Yue was stunned for most of the time before she came back to her senses and looked at Xia Lu in shock.

Xia Lu didn't answer her, but put the evil monster into the spatial barrier, and then controlled the spatial barrier to walk to the half of the lightning strike wood that fell to the ground and picked it up.

Gu Yue had already arrived behind him at this time, and looked intently at the lightning strike wood.

There is nothing special about the back of the lightning strike wood, and if you look at it in the backlit position, you can vaguely see some fine lines.

These lines are like a formation, and they are like nerves.

"Have you ever seen this?"

Xia Lu turned his head to look at Gu Yue.

"What is this?"

Gu Yue looked puzzled.

"It's the brain that devours xenomorphs, or rather, it's the body of its mind."

"All phagophagophagosaurs, no matter how big they are, the core is just that."

Xia Lu said lightly.

He'd seen this thing, and it was the top of the head of the devouring xenomorph that he had killed in the sewers before.

It's just that the subject of that alien mind is imprinted on a painting.

Gu Yue's face was full of shock.

Thinking carefully about what had just happened, she instantly understood something, and her face changed again.

"It, it just took control of the Jiuding Fragment?"

She had to be shocked.

The Jiuding Fragment is an ancient artifact, and there are not many people in this world who know how to control it.

The xenomorph attached to the lightning strike wood knows how to control it!

Then, she thought of something again.

"No, what is it going to do with the Jiuding fragments? If my guess is correct, it's always been inside the hatchery, and with its power, your monster can't control the hatchery, so it's always been controlling the hatchery. ”

"Since it has already controlled the hatchery, why should it use the power of the Jiuding fragment to suck itself out?"

It's no wonder that she asks such a question, it's all too weird.

Devouring xenos with strong conscious thinking abilities, and a lot of ancient wisdom.

Compared to it, the wisdom of the evil monster is not even as good as that of elementary school students.

In other words, it was actually this devouring xenomorph that had been controlling the hatchery all along.

And the only thing the monster can control is that eye.

It was only later when it broke away from the hatch that the monster took control of it and tried to stop it from coming out.

But since its purpose is to control the hatchery, why does it have to come out of it?

If its purpose is not to control the hatchery, why let the hatchery do so many horrible things?

One question after another made Gu Yue think hard.

She set her eyes on the monster, wanting some information from it.

"It's useless to ask it, even if it knows everything, it doesn't know how to tell you that the monster has nothing in its consciousness except for the means of communication related to combat."

The monster is an individual who is born to fight, and it doesn't know any other way of communication except for the communication required for combat cooperation.

Gu Yue immediately frowned when she heard this.

"I've come to another conclusion, but I can't tell you until I get back to confirm something."

Xia Lu smiled at her.

Gu Yue frowned.

Xia Lu didn't say anything, which made her feel really pretentious.

"Say it or not, all I care about is the mother bacteria."

Her gaze swept away, and the surrounding mother bacteria had been scattered all over the ground.

When the mother bacteria come into contact with the plant, a new round of mutation and rebirth begins, and most of the mother bacteria in front of them have begun to mutate.

The parent bacteria that have scattered to other locations have also begun to mutate.

All she had in her hand now was the ones she had hidden in the flowers, but by this time the flowers had shattered, and all the mother bacteria had flowed out.

She is now more limited in the amount of parent bacteria she can collect.

Seeing her face gradually lost, Xia Lu smiled slightly.

"There's one more thing in that theory of mine, you come with me and see if my guess is right."

After Xia Lu finished speaking, he controlled the spatial barrier and walked towards the location of the hatch just now.

When they arrived at the place where the hatchery was located before, there were fewer and many mother bacteria on the ground, and they were relieved to come out of the spatial barrier.

Gu Yue looked puzzled, not knowing what he was going to show himself.

The two of them walked through the many scattered mushroom blocks, and soon they saw a snow-white lotus root-like strain inserted on the ground.

The strain is snow-white all over, and because of its own weight, it bends downward, like a bent arm.

Gu Yue saw that Xia Lu brought herself to see this thing, and her face was puzzled.

Xia Lu didn't hesitate, and raised his hand and pointed his five fingers at the strain.

Soon, his hands lit up, and streams of cyan wood energy flowed into the strain.

In an instant, the strain seemed to come to life, and its round body suddenly opened.

At this time, Gu Yue saw that this thing was not round, but composed of fan-shaped films.

Absorbing the energy, it quickly dispersed, and a translucent liquid substance remained on top of the film.

"Mother bacteria!"

Gu Yue's face changed drastically.

"This, this is a strain of the parent bacteria!"

She had to be surprised that the mother bacteria she had seen all along had hatched from the pond, and she had never seen a mother fungus grow from a strain.

"This is not a pure strain, but a living strain that removes phagocytic genes, and I would like to congratulate myself on being the first to speculate."

Xia Lu smiled slightly.

Gu Yue was so happy at this time that she didn't care about Xia Lu's sale of Guanzi.

"What do you mean when you say it's not devouring?"

Xia Lu smiled and explained: "Just like the theory I told you before, the mother fungus has two attributes, the phagocytosis and fusion of the earth attribute, and the revival and rebirth of the wood attribute. ”

"The mother fungus rejuvenates the wood spirit, first devours its genes, fuses into the wood spirit's body, constantly divides and replaces the aging cells, and then uses the wood attribute to rejuvenate the wood spirit."

"This is very similar to the phagocytic xenomorph, except that the parent bacteria are the organisms that are fused with it, and the phagocytic xenomorphs are devouring each other."

"And the phagocytic xenomorph we dealt with before was very smart, it used a special method to alienate the parent bacteria, interrupted its phagocytic genes, leaving only the fusion and resuscitation genes, and at the genetic level, it is also closer to animals than plants."

Gu Yue listened to his words, thought carefully for a long time, and faintly understood something.

"It's so powerful that it can alienate the parent fungus."

You must know that the genetic structure of the mother fungus, as the source of the growth of all wood spirits, must be very complex.

It is impossible to do this unless you master quite powerful means of transformation.

"It's not powerful, but there is enough time to study, I've seen the alienated parent fungus before, but I didn't associate it with the parent fungus at the time, and now I understand everything."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped: "Put away the strain, this may be the guarantee of your survival in the future, with it, you don't have to destroy the cycle of the wood spirit." ”

Gu Yue's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this.

Soon, tears welled up in her eyes.
