After Silin landed on the hoverboard in the forest, he put away the hoverboard and put it back into his backpack. He took out a bottle of medicine and sprayed it on his body, causing his aura to be almost the same as his surroundings. Then, he stuffed his backpack into a crack in the rocks. He snuck towards the direction of the surprised flock of birds.
If Kari had done a sound spectrum analysis with an instrument at the time, he would have discovered a strange wave line. There was a sound that was different from the cries of animals mixed in with the cries of the birds and cats. It sounded a little like a machine, but it was also different from a machine.
It was exactly because of this that Silin wanted to investigate. He couldn't shake the feeling that he would discover something.
Silin slowly groped his way forward. The animals here were different from humans. Their hearing was very sensitive, so Silin had to be even more careful. If he wanted to know the truth, then he must conceal himself. Although he had sprayed himself with the medicine, Silin had purposely chosen a position against the wind just to be on the safe side. This way, even his aura would not be easily discovered by the animals upwind.
The leaves rustled as the wind blew past them, and some needles fell from time to time. It was just a tiny sound, but it was enough to help Silin conceal the sound of his sneak attack.
Gradually, Silin could hear a few low growls from the other side, and the warning whines of the cats. Further ahead, Silin saw the situation on the other side.
There were six wolves, three cats, no, four cats, and a kitten surrounded by three big cats. The kitten looked dispirited, its eyes were closed, and its breathing was relatively weak.
It was just as Kari had said. The cats here looked like leopards, and the kitten's size could be considered normal in comparison. The contrast of being surrounded by three big cats was too obvious.
The cats were big, but the wolves were even bigger. Have you ever seen a wolf the size of a bear? In any case, this was the first time Silin had seen one. However, he had seen a rat the size of a bear back at Seven Lights, so he was not surprised here.
But what puzzled Silin was why the six wolves would hesitate in front of the three cats, and ignore the kitten. Logically speaking, be it in terms of size or number, the wolves had the absolute advantage. They shouldn't be hesitating like this, as if they wanted to charge but were afraid of something.
Something was wrong.
Silin held his breath as he watched the scene. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he could not find anything out of the ordinary. There was no mechanical activity, no energy fluctuations, only these few animals.
One of the wolves growled in a low voice and took a step forward. The fur on the three big cats' bodies immediately stood up. Before, it was only the fur on their backs that stood up, but now, they felt like their whole bodies were in a state of tension. Their tails were straightened, and because of the fur standing up, they looked a lot bigger. At the same time, the three big cats took half a step back, getting closer to the kitten in the circle.
The wolf did not continue to move forward. Instead, it anxiously circled the area, its claws scratching at the ground that was frozen hard due to the low temperature like tofu.
Perhaps it was because of the wolf's low growl and the sound of its claws scratching the ground, or the three big cats' whimpering because of nervousness, the kittens surrounding them struggled to open their eyes.
The kitten was leaning against a rock that was not much bigger than it was. There were some primitive ferns in the cracks of the rock. When it opened its eyes, the first thing it did was not look at the big cats or the six wolves, but at the few small ferns in the cracks of the rock.
The kitten opened its mouth, revealing its fine teeth. It was indeed no different from an ordinary cat, unlike the big cats, whose teeth were ferocious. It bit at the leaves that stretched out from the cracks of the rock, clawed its paws, closed its eyes, and dropped its head. It continued its original appearance, as if biting the leaves had consumed a lot of energy.
Silin narrowed his eyes. Something was wrong!
Just now, when the kitten opened its mouth, the six wolves showed obvious signs of cowering. The wolf in the front even retreated to stand with its companions, as if that was the only way it could regain some courage and peace of mind.
Previously, he thought that the three big cats had surrounded the kitten to protect it, but the truth was that the three big cats were afraid. Since they were so close to the kitten, what the six wolves were really afraid of was not the three big cats, but the sickly kitten lying there, right?!
Silin continued to observe for a while, but there was still no progress on the other side. It could not go on like this. In order to verify the speculation in his heart, Silin turned his hand, took out a needle, and shot it at one of the wolves. The conflict had to be intensified in order to better resolve this conflict.
While they were confronting each other, the wolf that was shot in the butt suddenly jumped up and howled. It wasn't because of pain, but because of fear. The wolf's fur was very thick, and Cillin's needle did not penetrate much of it. However, the highly nervous wolf reflexively jumped a step forward when it felt the pain on its butt. The other wolves behind it seemed to have received the encouragement and jumped forward as well. When the three big cats saw that they had actually rushed forward, they also decided to fight to the death. The situation instantly became chaotic.
And because of this, Silin saw a shocking scene.
The kitten that was originally lying on the ground, making people feel that it was exhaling more than it was inhaling, suddenly had its head expand, and it was even bigger than the wolf's body. The originally gray fur contracted and changed, and its skin revealed a metallic luster. At this moment, it did not look like an animal at all, but more like a mechanical body. No, it should be a combination of a mechanical body and an animal, because except for this strange mechanical head, its torso and limbs still maintained the original shape of the kitten.
The swollen mechanical cat head opened its mouth and swallowed the nearest wolf in one gulp. Then, the mechanical cat head slowly changed back to its original state, and the metallic luster disappeared. Its fur reappeared, and it returned to its original appearance, lying there half dead and half alive, continuing to be weak.
When the kitten transformed, the six wolves wanted to immediately escape from the battle, but the one closest to it didn't have time to escape and suffered a disaster. The other five fled fifty meters away with their tails between their legs, panting heavily.
Silin was speechless.
Damn, this guy is King Kong! Although it is not pure, that appearance just now is definitely a mechanical body!
Cyborg life form?
Silin had read some articles in electronic journals with high contribution points. Some people mentioned cyborg life forms, but these life forms were very unstable and could only survive for a very short period of time. Many researchers had thought of creating such a cyborg life form, but the results were not as good as expected. Apart from the shortcoming of a naturally formed cyborg life form, the transition between carbon-based life form and mechanical life form was almost perfect. Artificial cyborg life forms could not achieve such perfection, and they were either above or below the balance point.
Someone had once speculated on the possible cause of cyborgs' formation in one of GAL's two giant publications, "Code", but the explanation was very vague. Perhaps it was because Cillin's reading clearance wasn't high enough, and he wasn't able to access the true research secrets.
Researchers described this cyborg life form as a miracle in the universe. The core of this life form was a certain matter that was accidentally formed in the universe. This matter could not be replicated, and when it floated to a planet with life, this matter would capture the genetic information of a certain creature. Then, using this genetic information as a template, it would form a similar life form, which was what they called cyborg life form.
The universe was a place that produced all kinds of miracles. Cillin didn't know how it was formed, and he didn't know if the researchers had created a perfect cyborg, but the one in front of him was definitely a cyborg that had transformed into a perfect cyborg!
