Chapter 4: Explosions

Time seems to have lost its meaning to Liu Hao at this time.

The deep and boundless space makes the process of searching tiring and boring.

Only the mother star below is still spinning tirelessly, as if silently accompanied, so that an anxious heart settles down slightly, and the fireballs that reveal their true faces from time to time in the distance are far less dazzling than before.

Approach, observe, attack, flee.

With repeated failures and a little luck, gradually, Liu Hao accumulated considerable experience and slowly transformed into a qualified hunter.

If the underlying planet below gave birth to all life on Earth, it is clear that all of them should have souls.

But so far, Liu Hao has found no plants, no insects, fish or other small animals, such as mice and birds.

There was just a pig, a sheep, and even a sea creature, maybe a dolphin or something.

More, who seem to be the same humans as him, occupy the vast majority.

This made him more cautious while omitting another worry.

If he accidentally absorbs a tree, will he be forced to experience a lonely wind and rain for tens or even hundreds of years, and finally be burned to ashes in a lightning strike?

With each increase in the core, an invisible force field lifted him upward, forcing him to leave his original position, rise to a certain height and stop.

At this point, both upward and downward will be hindered, and the greater the distance of deviation, the greater the resistance, until it is unable to move at a certain limit.

While the surrounding light clusters were getting bigger and smaller, the number of them was getting smaller and smaller, and the targets he could attack were also stretched.

Not only are the newborn light clusters that were lucky enough to arrive here gone, but even the light clusters of the animals are a bit rare.

Liu Hao didn't know how long and how far he had been running, although he was tired, the passage of time still made him feel a little bored.

Because of his careful care and deliberately being in a lower position, he managed to dodge several attacks without danger.

It must be lewd and developed, not wasted, he warned himself not to be greedy.

With the continuous improvement of hunting skills, Liu Hao was lucky to capture another new light group, which greatly benefited him.

He is now more than twice the size of his original size.

The ensuing changes are thicker and more powerful tentacles, faster speeds, and a near-depleted "supply".

The rest must only be of the same kind, and this is not the result he wants to see.

Those who are afraid are all strong people who have survived after being devoured layer by layer, and if they are not careful, they may become the other party's tonic.

Liu Hao vigilantly observed the surroundings, quietly, but there was a solemn atmosphere.

Not far away, two light clusters seemed to be facing each other, one of which was the long-lost blue.

It's just that they all seem to be jealous of each other, and they don't notice Liu Hao's obscene figure.

The blue light is slightly smaller and looks a little timid, trying to get away little by little.

And the earthy yellow light cluster didn't seem to have any intention of fighting to the death, turning a blind eye to the former's retreat, and did not react at all.

The blue light finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tentacles swung and quickened the pace of leaving.

At this moment, the earthy yellow light that had not shown much desire to attack suddenly pounced, and even condensed all the tentacles together, just like the thick cavalry spears used by knights in medieval Europe during duels.

Liu Hao was also shocked into a cold sweat, glad that he had not encountered such a cunning enemy.

"Smack", as if the sound could really be heard, the blue light cluster almost shattered in response, and was stabbed in the core by the opponent.

It was like two knights, one of whom was stabbed off his horse and died.

It's just that I don't know if it's Liu Hao's illusion, the moment he was captured, the blue light that originally flickered on the core disappeared weirdly.

The earthy yellow light cluster began to enjoy the post-war dividends and was preparing to feast.

And after watching this hearty battle, Liu Hao wanted to escape with a weak heart, because he himself was the most ideal next prey.

Just as he silently prayed for the protection of the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas and slowly retreated, there were even greater changes in the rear.

The earthy yellow light cluster that was enjoying the food suddenly rushed left and right like a convulsion, jumping up and down.

Then it stopped suddenly, the core in the middle was uncertain, and the light film was constantly concave and convex, like a kneaded dough.

This sudden change made Liu Hao so surprised that he almost forgot to escape.

However, the earthy yellow light cluster is not a delirium, nor is it a vigorous body movement to express the euphoria after the harvest.

Rather, it exploded.

There is no fire, no sound, and the explosion is like a crystal ball falling to the ground in slow-motion footage.

Countless cracks could be clearly seen extending on the surface of the light cluster, and then shattering into dozens of large and small pieces, the largest fragment was only a fraction of Liu Hao's.

Then there was a violent jet, and all the debris flew out at a very high speed.

One of them was even close to Liu Hao not far away, and hideous pictures flashed on the fragment from time to time, as if its soul was also roaring unwillingly.

The tragic scene made Liu Hao a little frightened, and he didn't know whether he should continue hunting, but there was no Zhihu here, and there was no Baidu, and no one could tell him the correct answer.

He could only be like a dirt dog with his tail between his legs, carefully cruising in the dark starry sky, carefully guarding and silently observing.

In the visible range, there are not many light clusters.

It took a long time for Liu Hao to observe hundreds of light clusters, large and small, the smallest one was only one-third of his, and the largest was only similar to him.

Most of the light clusters are quite honest and dutiful, far apart from each other, as if they are intentionally or unconsciously dividing their own territory.

The only two sides who met a battle, both of which were earthy yellow, and the victorious side enjoyed the spoils of the spoils, and there was no accident and another tragic explosion, and both fell victim to greed.

With no goal and no hope, the disheartened Liu Hao gradually stopped and no longer wandered aimlessly.

The boundless loneliness hit, and the deep dark space seemed to make his mind begin to freeze, not knowing where the road ahead was.

Until in a trance, he was awakened by a palpitation-like feeling.

I thought I had been attacked, but after I fled, I found that the surroundings were still empty, and there was no attacker.

Soon, another palpitation came, making Liu Hao realize that this fear came from below, and the source was the rotating mother star.

The parent star seemed to shake for a moment, and then, again, and again.

It still swirls calmly at the speed it has seen for eons of years, as if the tremor was just a ridiculous illusion in consciousness.

Then, a strong attraction came from below, causing him to subconsciously rush downward.

At the same time, unexpected changes are taking place on the home planet.

On the originally dark surface, as if the grassland swept by the spring breeze, thousands of large and small light spots appeared, like flowers blooming and stars twinkling, and it was impossible to see them in a single piece.

The strong attraction came from those blooming flowers, like a gentle call, directly to his heart.

Especially those larger flowers, it made him feel like he saw the gluttony of food, and he couldn't help but speed up.

In the blink of an eye, it has exceeded the position that once exceeded the lower limit.

There were already several light clusters in the way that were knocked out by him, like a restless bull, losing his sanity and becoming a slave to his desires, instinctively wanting to rush to the front and pick the biggest and most beautiful flowers.

Soon, there were only some light clusters left in his field of vision, which were much smaller than him, and only he was less than a few tenths, densely packed one by one, and the flowers blooming on the surface of the earth, like a sea of stars.

But Liu Hao didn't have time to appreciate this shocking beauty, so he just charged downward.

As we got closer to the surface, the flickering spots of light became clearer.

Suddenly, the speed of the sea of light dropped sharply, as if it had hit an invisible embankment head-on.

All the light clusters struggled violently, like crayfish falling into a frying pot, and Liu Hao even seemed to hear the earth-shattering wails and screams.

Thinking of the shaking of the home star just now, Liu Hao instinctively reduced the speed of his fall, and his sanity recovered a little.

With the ocean of light like the waves rolling upside down, an invisible suppression instantly enveloped Liu Hao's body.

The shaking of the mother star not only lifted some kind of prohibition and revealed the flowers on the surface, but also released an invisible barrier, with the mother star as the center, spreading to the entire space in all directions without dead ends.
