There was something else that caught Meng Chao's attention.
If he were the Demonic Abyss Eye, since its scheme had been exposed, it would definitely race against time and run as far away as possible.
But why did it stop here for a while?
It had to be known that the humans' top-class fighters and the army were searching for it nearby!
Meng Chao's mind raced. Based on the fact that it had eaten Zhou Tianshui without hesitation, he instantly came to the correct conclusion.
It was hungry.
It was drained, hungry, and at its weakest moment!
Meng Chao had dissected a large number of mental-attack-type monsters known as Demonic Air Ripping Eyes before, so he knew the structure of such monsters very well.
Even though it was known as a Demonic Eye, aside from the huge air sac that allowed it to float in the air, its body structure was closer to a huge lump of brain tissue than a huge eyeball.
When brain tissue worked at high speed, the amount of energy it used and the heat it released was three times that of muscles of the same weight and volume.
The Demonic Abyss Eye was an existence similar to the ultimate evolved form of the Demonic Air Ripping Eye. Meng Chao believed that they had similar structures and physiological functions.
Besides, it did not seem like it could float in the air, which meant that it did not have an air sac in its body. It only had a huge brain.
This super brain gave it the ability to control insects and its mind.
But the amount of energy it used was astronomical.
To Meng Chao and all Dragon Citizens, it was a night of exhaustion and sleepless nights.
It was the same for the Demonic Abyss Eye.
It released powerful and precise brain waves and controlled thousands of insects at the same time. It made them suppress their primitive instincts and turn them into a strict army that obeyed all orders and fought against humans with their wits and courage. Just how many orders did the Demonic Abyss Eye need to give and how many micro-controls did it have to carry out to complete all of this?
Meng Chao believed that the extreme operations it performed for an entire night had already drained it.
That was why it had to take the risk and stop for a while in the abandoned train station to replenish its food and recover its stamina and mind control.
To humans, the flesh and blood of superbeasts were undoubtedly the best food.
To monsters, the rich spirit energy in the bodies of powerful humans could help them recover quickly and regain their vitality and ferocity.
Zhou Tianshui had survived hundreds of punches, which meant that he had a lot of spirit energy in his body. But at that moment, it had turned into high-calorie nutritional fluid for the Demonic Abyss Eye.
Just as he expected, Meng Chao keenly sensed that the Demonic Abyss Eye's temperature had increased by 0.5 ° C.
After humans ate, their body temperature would rise slightly as their digestive system worked.
Since the Demonic Abyss Eye's brain was too big, when it operated at full speed, it released a lot of heat. The folds on its skin and its threatening tentacles had great heat dissipation effects.
Speaking of which, you can't have your cake and eat it too. The price of having a large brain was that your body was relatively bloated and clumsy.
Putting aside its psychic attacks, its physical strength was the weakest among the nine Yao Gods.
And now, it was not yet a few years later in his previous life, when the Nine Great Demon Gods had all matured, so its combat power should be even weaker …
Without batting an eyelid, Meng Chao nervously searched for and analyzed the enemy's weaknesses.
At that moment, the Demonic Abyss Eye seemed to have finished digesting Zhou Tianshui.
Still unsatisfied, it continued to swing its tentacles and crawl toward a human hanging upside down on a pipe.
Meng Chao was anxious.
He could not just watch as the Demonic Abyss Eye devoured one human after another.
On one hand, he was not certain just who the captives were. Aside from elite citizens like Zhao Feixuan, were there any experts in controllable transmigration?
More importantly, he was worried that after the Demonic Abyss Eye devoured a few more powerful humans, its stamina and strength would recover. At that time, even if Lu Siya arrived with reinforcements, there was a high possibility that it would use all sorts of strange skills to escape.
'No, I have to stop it from' eating '!
'What should I do? I have to stall for time, but I can't let it hurt more humans. How can I do it?'
Its tentacles had already wrapped around a captive's neck.
Meng Chao made up his mind and started struggling violently.
He decided to use himself as bait.
He was gambling that the Demonic Abyss Eye did not intend to kill or eat him.
He was the greatest contributor to stopping the abnormal beasts' scheme.
From a certain point of view, the Demonic Abyss Eye had lost to him.
Since the Demonic Abyss Eye had captured him, the person who defeated it, it could interrogate him, humiliate him, brainwash him, or even vent its anger on him, but it was unlikely that it would kill him.
Hence, Meng Chao gritted his teeth and used the contraction and expansion of his muscles to make his body sway while hanging upside down.
At the same time, he activated a small amount of spirit energy to rush into his brain.
He pretended that he had just woken up and understood the situation. Then, he tried to circulate his spirit energy over his limit and burn his brain so that he would enter spirit energy deviation and end his life so that he would not be humiliated or reveal any information.
Just as he expected, the Demonic Abyss Eye noticed his abnormal actions.
The huge eyeball released a light that could capture people's souls. It let go of the captive who had nearly become its food and flung its tentacles to the pipe above Meng Chao's head. Then, it jumped lightly and arrived in front of Meng Chao. It swung back and forth at the same frequency as him.
They were very close to each other.
Meng Chao was stared at by the huge eye that had a diameter of more than two meters.
Even if he had seen countless monstrous and terrifying monsters and all sorts of Other World creatures in his nightmares, he had never seen such a strange scene before.
The Demonic Abyss Eye flung out two tentacles covered in spikes and slowly extended them toward Meng Chao.
Meng Chao had to use all his strength to suppress the urge to use all his spirit energy to tear apart the cocoon and fight to the death.
Now was not the time.
No, it was time for him to destroy the huge eye with one punch.
He sucked in a deep breath and spat at the huge eye. He looked like he would rather die than submit.
But he smoothly cooperated with the Demonic Abyss Eye and had the two tentacles gently touch his temples.
As a faint stab of pain and a strange light shone in the depths of the huge eye, a voice rose in Meng Chao's mind.
"Don't be nervous. We mean you no harm."
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
It was not just because the Demonic Abyss Eye could speak in his mind.
It was not just because its words contained incredibly high intelligence. The word "we" also vaguely meant that the monster civilization had already taken form.
Most importantly, the Demonic Abyss Eye had a very monstrous and ugly appearance, but its voice was that of a delicate girl. It was a very young and innocent girl.
Honestly speaking, if the Demonic Abyss Eye's voice was like a bell or hoarse, like a rusty gear turning slowly or a sharp weapon scratching against glass, Meng Chao would have been able to accept it.
One of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities was actually speaking like a girl in middle school. It was so out of place that it disgusted him so much that goosebumps rose all over his skin.
But at least it did not eat him.
Meng Chao knew that he had made the right bet.
Next, it was time for him to show off his exquisite acting skills.
'No ill will?'
Meng Chao widened his eyes and looked as if he had heard a joke. 'You killed so many humans, and you're saying that you don't have ill will?' “
He intentionally said those words in his heart and did not say them out loud.
In the end, he sensed a rather uncomfortable power surge into his brain from his temples. It was like a wet tongue licking his sulci.
"If you're careless and kill a group of ants, it doesn't mean that you have any ill will toward them."
Soon, Meng Chao heard the young girl's voice again. "If you kill and eat a pair of chickens and ducks to survive, it doesn't mean that you have any ill will toward them. “
She sure knows how to twist words and force logic.
But that was not the main point.
The main point was that Meng Chao learned two things through the small "test".
First, the Demonic Abyss Eye might be able to read the information he was thinking about or saying in his head when he was focused.
Second, the Demonic Abyss Eye could sense the information being read, so he should be able to use his mind to defend himself.
But Meng Chao did not do that.
He was just thinking about a lot of things that had nothing to do with the situation in front of him, using a lot of redundant information to cover up his true thoughts. At the same time, he continued to stall for time. With a pale face, he said, "You, what exactly are you!"
The Demonic Abyss Eye was silent for a long time.
It was so long that Meng Chao thought that it would not answer and would just kill him or flee with him.
In his mind, the faint female voice sounded again, "I don't know. “
This answer stunned Meng Chao a little.
He thought that the other party would say something like 'the lord of the Otherworld, an existence that surpassed humans' or some other random answer.
He couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know what kind of thing you are?"
"Yes, I don't know."
The Demonic Abyss Eye said calmly and gloomily, "Could it be that you know what you are? “
"Of course, we're humans, humans from Earth!" Meng Chao said proudly.
"Humans are just a name, just like how monsters are just a name. What exactly are you and I hidden behind our names?"
"If you're just humans from Earth, why did you coincidentally transmigrate to the Other World? Why do you share so many similarities with the creatures on this planet? Why are you able to analyze the runic symbols in the ancient ruins? Why are you able to unlock mysterious supernatural abilities and turn from powerless carbon-based monkeys into existences that are like demons? Why are you able to transfer your consciousness to monsters? “
The series of questions made Meng Chao a little dumbfounded.
Once he registered what was going on, he could not help but suck in a sharp breath. He did not expect that monsters would have such a deep understanding of humans.
"We used to be ignorant beasts. Following the law of survival of the fittest, we started endless battles on this planet. Although our lives were cruel and painful, we did not have the slightest confusion or trouble.
"Then, you Earthlings came here and joined the survival game where the strong preyed on the weak. Your bodies are weaker than most of the monsters, but you have a weapon known as intelligence. This weapon doesn't just bring you hope for survival, it also brings you endless trouble," the Demonic Abyss Eye continued.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? As we fought nonstop against humans, we gradually awakened to our sense of self and intelligence. We began to think about the meaning and mission of life.
"Unfortunately, even now, we haven't found the answer. We also noticed that even the humans who gave us intelligence know nothing about it.
"Perhaps we can work together and explore Earth, the Other World, life, and the ultimate answer to everything?"
