The confrontation didn't last long. The Ice Worm didn't know what it meant to be still, so it couldn't hold back and launched an attack first.
Dean looked calm and wasn't as flustered as last time. When the Ice Worm was about to get close, his whole body ignited with blazing flames. His whole body turned into a ball of raging fire. The high temperature instantly dispersed the surrounding cold air, and the metal under his feet quickly heated up.
The seven or eight Ice Worms that rushed up saw the burning Dean and immediately stopped moving. They seemed to be stunned for a moment, but soon, their raised heads cracked open their mouths and spat out saliva. The saliva would quickly freeze when it touched something, and it was even more powerful than a freezer. However, when the saliva met with Dean's flame, it quickly melted, and white smoke rose.
The Sun Beast that he got from the Flame Soul Worm seemed to be the natural nemesis of the Ice Worm. Moreover, Dean's physique wasn't weak, so he could fully display the strength of the Sun Beast. At this moment, when he was attacked by the Ice Worm's quick-freezing saliva, the flame on his body was only slightly weakened, but it didn't affect him much. Seeing this, he calmed down, released the Splitting Blade, and quickly pounced towards the Ice Worm.
Whoosh!
Puff!
The burning flame pounced on the Ice Worm one after another. These Ice Worms didn't dare to use their bodies to wrap around Dean, so they just kept spitting saliva. Soon, they were approached by Dean one by one, and were quickly dismembered by the Splitting Blade. They turned into lumps of sticky white meat and fell to the ground, but they were still slowly wriggling. Their tenacious vitality made them almost immortal.
However, there was no real immortality.
The power of nature was enough to destroy everything. Dean's burning boots stepped on a few lumps of snow-white wriggling meat, and white smoke suddenly rose. The size of the few lumps of white meat quickly shrunk, like melting ice. He estimated that if he continued to burn for a few more minutes, these things would completely disappear.
But he didn't do so.
He didn't come here to kill these Ice Worms, but to capture them.
As the Ice Worms were dismembered one after another, Dean walked towards the giant black tree from the ground. His eyes were golden, and his x-ray vision was completely activated. He was on guard against any possibility of changes.
The minced meat of the Extreme Ice Insects was slowly reassembling, but it required time. This period of time was enough for him to fight with this thing that he suspected to be the Extreme Ice Insect King.
This black giant tree was not a real tree. It had a complex structure inside, like a living being, but it did not have a heart, digestive organs, and other organs. However, there was something like blood flowing in its body, and most of this blood flowed into the snow-white giant worm, and then it was extracted from the giant worm's body, cycling back and forth.
"It's a pity. If you had a human body, you could still communicate with me. I could only use violence to make you listen to me." Dean stood in front of the giant black tree. He felt the branches around him tremble slightly. The roots of the giant tree were also trembling slightly. It seemed that it couldn't bear the high temperature. He expressed sympathy, and then both of his hands turned into Cutting Blades and shot out.
Puff!
The sharp blades pierced into the giant black tree. Through long-range touch, Dean's perception extended out of the flame. He could feel a burst of coldness.
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the top of the tree. The scream was extremely high in decibels, and pierced the eardrums. Dean's hair stood up, and his ear bones shrank. He lowered the sound and looked at the source of the sound. It was coming from the body of the snow-white giant worm. It had woken up!
The middle of the snow-white giant worm's body slightly opened, revealing a huge strange mouth. When the mouth split open, the whole body was divided into two. The degree of opening would make any snake feel ashamed.
"Om, om …"
"Guliji …"
Suddenly, a burst of strange sounds came out of the snow-white giant worm's mouth. Dean was puzzled, but the thing that came out of its mouth made him stunned. "Human, please stop!"
It was the common language of the giant wall, and it was spoken very fluently. It was very magnetic and charming.
"Human, please stop!" At this time, the snow-white giant worm said the same words again, but this time in a different language. It was the English of the old era!
Dean was still in a daze. Then the giant worm taught Dean what a language master was. Russian, Spanish, and a small language of a certain country in Africa … Seven or eight languages were spoken. Dean had never heard of some of them. Finally, it started to talk about the Chinese language.
Dean could not help but ask: "What are you?"
The snow-white giant worm saw that Dean finally responded. It seemed to be relieved and immediately said in a magnetic Chinese accent: "We don't mean to hurt you here. Please let us go and leave here."
Dean could not help but ask: "Why did you say our language? Did you read it from the carrier's memory? "
The snow-white giant worm repeated the words above, and the tone did not change. It was like a machine.
Dean could not help but repeat his question, but the snow-white giant worm was still repeating his words. He could not help but be annoyed: "What the hell are you? Why did you say our language? If you don't answer me properly, I won't let you have the opportunity to kneel down!"
His words seemed to have an effect. The snow-white giant insect opened its mouth as if it was in a daze or trying to organize the meaning of his words. After a while, it said, "Human, in your language, we are called Extreme Ice Insects. We are the ancestors of the Parasitic Soul Insects that you use to increase your strength. We don't mean to offend you. We hope that you can let us go. We are hiding here because we don't want to be found by you."
Dean was startled. He squinted his eyes and said, "So, you are the Ice Worm King?"
"You can say that." The snow-white giant worm admitted very simply.
Dean was not excited. Instead, he was very calm. He found that this ice worm king seemed to be a veteran. It not only knew the languages of the old era, but also the language of the giant wall. It also knew the names that humans gave to them. Just these were enough to show that it had experienced a lot of things, and it was very likely that it had lived from the old era until now!
Three hundred years of lifespan was out of reach for humans, but it might not be a problem for the ice worms that had a tenacious vitality.
However, the behavior of the ice worm king was a bit strange.
It was too honest, and it did not hide anything from it! It was reasonable to say that it knew so many languages of the old era and knew the situation of the giant wall era. It should have been in contact with many humans and learned from them. But since it could get this knowledge, it should have learned the cunning and cautiousness of humans. It should not be so honest.
Soon, Dean understood why the ice worm king was so "honest". Perhaps, it intended to let him know that it was the ice worm king! With Dean's current strength, the next level was the king level of the abyss. The possibility to continue to become stronger was to absorb the ice worm king! Once he had this idea and absorbed it, it was equal to giving it the opportunity to control him!
"If it was any other abyss, it would be ecstatic!" Dean thought in his heart. If it was any other abyss, it would be very happy. Unfortunately, he knew a lot of secrets about the king level from Bolo, so he did not intend to rely on the ice worm king to become the king level.
Dean felt that he was aware of the ice worm king's trick, but he did not immediately kill it. Instead, he said with a bit of joy on his face: "How long have you been hiding here?"
The ice worm king replied very quickly: "It's been a long time, I can't remember."
It was a very vague answer, but also impeccable. Dean smiled: "How do you know our human language?" He was asking the obvious.
The ice worm king seemed to hesitate for a moment: "I need the blood of other creatures to maintain my life. My children accidentally caught you humans when they were hunting prey, so I learned it from them."
It was a very honest answer, but it concealed the specific content. Dean smiled in his heart as if he was watching the prey being caught step by step: "This is your spaceship. Are you from another planet?"
Spaceship was the name of the earth, but Dean believed that it could understand as it could read the human memory. The ice worm king answered very quickly, and its tone was also very sincere: "We passed through here, but unexpectedly ran out of energy and fell here. Because of this, we had some wars with you. But please believe that we absolutely did not offend you. We will leave here once we find energy."
Dean's heart was a bit shaken when he saw that it admitted that it was an alien creature. As a person of the old era, he was like all the people of the old era. From childhood, he had fantasized about the existence of other life forms in the dark and silent universe. He had also fantasized about the appearance of aliens, thin heads, huge eyes … But he did not expect that the alien life form that finally appeared on earth would be this huge fat and not cute monster worm in front of him.
The reason why it was not cute was because of the slender blades that the latter had retracted to the back of its body and its mouth full of sharp teeth. It made people shudder.
At this point, he could finally confirm that the disaster of the old era was caused by the invasion of alien monsters.
Although he had some speculations before, and even believed that it was because he had seen some reports on TV before he went into hibernation, but at that time he was still young and hadn't seen the news about the arrival of alien monsters. Later on, he grew up in Silvia, and came into contact with many dark things. He was a bit skeptical about everything. Occasionally he would even think that this thing was secretly created by the old countries with the purpose of reshuffling the power structure of the old era.
This kind of fantasy continued until now, and it was finally 100% confirmed!
But was the reason for their visit to the earth really because they were passing by on the way and their energy was exhausted?
Dean naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't expose it. After all, he didn't have any reference. Even if he tortured it, he may not get the truth. If the other side insisted on a statement or changed to another wrong statement, then he could only believe it. But now it was different. He could induce it to say things that were half true and half false, and then extract the information that he believed to be true.
"Why did you pass through here?" Dean asked.
The Extreme Ice Insect King was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe it's because we're too lonely. For millions of years, we've been the only ones on our planet, so we're preparing to search for new life partners in the universe. Originally, we were planning to go to another planet, but we happened to pass by here and discovered you guys. Furthermore, because of the language barrier, a war broke out. This is something we didn't want to happen either.
"To another planet?"
"It's not a planet, but an area. Because we detected that there was a special signal coming from that area. It seems that there is life there, so we went there."
"So, you didn't land because you ran out of energy, but because you discovered our planet?" Dean caught the loophole in its words, but he felt that it deliberately let him catch it.
"This, in fact, there are two parts of the reason. We didn't have much energy, so we found you, so we landed." Ice worm king's tone was a bit awkward, but only its mouth was moving on its smooth body. Dean couldn't see its expression.
Dean sneered and pretended to be angry, but there was some doubt in his heart. It mentioned that there was a life signal in another area, but he didn't know whether it was true or false. If it was true, then there were other life in the universe? If it was false, then the original target of these monsters was the earth. They must have detected the signal that the earth had projected into the universe, so they specifically came!
In the olden era, when humans developed aerospace technology, they never stopped searching for extraterrestrials. Many scientists and famous science fiction writers had mentioned that when humans found extraterrestrials, they might not be able to avoid a disaster. Either humans were weak and oppressed, or they were colonized and ruled by humans, or if they found extraterrestrials weaker than humans, they would be colonized and ruled by humans!
No matter what the result was, it was not good for humans and alien races. But humans still didn't stop this fanatical and dangerous action, and always persisted in looking for extraterrestrial creatures.
Some people said that it was because humans were too lonely in the vast universe.
But … if you're lonely, then you're lonely, can you not die?!
Dean felt that if his guess was true, this ice worm king could simply press the faces of those knowledgeable fanatical intellectuals to the ground and rub them!
After thinking for a moment, Dean felt that the second possibility was more likely. These insects were coming for the earth, otherwise it was impossible for them to sense the existence of life in other star areas, but not the earth's existence.
They came over to start a war, and obviously it was not a good move. Just like the two results, they swallowed humans and ruled the weak.
All life had a common characteristic, and that was the need for survival. Humans needed food, beasts needed prey, even a tree needed water to nourish it, which was absorbed from the surrounding environment. Obviously, this was a very cliché fundamental reason, these monsters took a fancy to the earth's resources and environment.
Of course, there was another reason that was less likely, and that was that they were bloodthirsty and liked to kill, so they found the earth.
