A group of people silently floated in through the hole in the center of the wreckage. Everyone was cautious, even Y 'zaks was no exception.
The huge cavern, the broken armor plate, and the structure of the spaceship hidden in the darkness. Even the usually courageous Vivian was a little scared. The weird tentacles that grew out of the hole gave her goosebumps. Hao Ren and Y 'zaks floated in front of the team. Y' zaks summoned a ball of demonic flame to dispel the darkness in the cavern, but the dim light made the giant tentacles around them look even more eerie. They were entangled together along the wreckage of the surrounding armor, like a shadow monster spreading out from the abyss of evil, it was chilling.
Y 'lisabet had led people here to explore once. She climbed onto Y' zaks' shoulder and gave him directions. Under the guidance of the little girl, they found an entrance on the side wall of the cavern. It seemed that there had been an additional explosion there. Some of the tentacles were blown off, revealing a dark passage.
Hao Ren was the first to go into the passage. He found that the number of tentacles in the passage was slightly less, but they were also occupied by the First Born. The thick roots pierced through the surrounding walls and ceilings, growing in a winding manner to connect with the surroundings. Of course, just like other places, the tentacles here were also 'dead'.
Hao Ren released the MDT. "Check the surroundings."
The MDT emitted a faint blue light, scanning the corridor wall for possible key clues as it muttered, "This spaceship has not been recorded in the Imperial Database. It doesn't look like a product of a civilization under the Empire's rule. But it looks very advanced."
Lily followed behind Hao Ren with her tail between her legs, holding her Frostfire Claws in both hands. From time to time, she would poke one of the tentacles passing by as if she wanted to confirm whether the First Born here was completely dead or not. While she was poking, she muttered to Hao Ren, "Looks like it's completely dead … It feels like cement when I poke it …"
Y 'lisabet looked curiously at Hao Ren and the rest as if they were facing a formidable enemy. "Are these tentacles scary? You've met him before? "
"Yes, this thing is very powerful. Mortals are basically killed in seconds. But I've only seen this thing in another world." Hao Ren nodded. "I don't understand why it's here … Can the First Born travel through the void? When did transmigration become so easy? "
Y'lisabet was surprised. "Very powerful? You're even better than Daddy? "
Y 'zaks grinned and nodded. "Much more powerful. I can't kill this thing even with a meteorite. I didn't expect one to die here."
Y'lisabet's eyes widened immediately. She recalled that she had led a group of people to explore this place for a few days, and finally felt a little scared. On the other hand, the MDT had scanned a large area of the path and found something about the relationship between the tentacles and the spacecraft. "The First Born seems to be growing with the spacecraft."
"Symbiotic?" Hao Ren was surprised.
"Well," the MDT floated up and down. "The tentacles have invaded the various structures of the spacecraft. This is not the result of a short period of time. Based on the distribution of the tentacles and the deformation of the spacecraft's structure, the invasion process should have lasted for a period of time — it's a growth process. "
Vivian created a cloud of blood mist to cover the surface of the tentacles in the path, and easily corroded a large piece of the tentacles. At the same time, she collected biological samples of these tentacles. She looked interested. "I didn't expect the First Born to die naturally … I thought they really don't rest no matter where they go."
Hao Ren asked curiously, "How did this thing die?"
"It starved to death," Vivian smiled. "The nutrients in the tentacles were basically lost, and some of the biological tissues showed signs of self-digestion. Compared with the First Born samples I found in the Plane of Dreams, these tentacles are obviously malnourished."
Hao Ren was shocked. "Starved to death!? How could a bug like the First Born starve to death? "
"Isn't that obvious? No matter how powerful it is, it's still a living thing. It needs to consume energy to move. It's not like the Goddess who can create everything out of nothing," Vivian dispersed the blood mist and said her guess. "I guess this First Born fell here by accident. It should be a plane crash. "
Lily, who was holding Flamejoy, "cutting the grass", heard Vivian's words and looked up. "How do you know it was an accident?"
Vivian glared at him. "Nonsense. The First Born is obviously very intelligent. Why would a sane guy find a place where he could starve to death? Obviously, it crashed into the spaceship and got injured. It can't run away."
Lily looked Vivian up and down. "But before you met Mr. Landlord, you could starve to death everywhere you went …"
"… My situation is different!" Vivian said.
"Okay, okay, can you two not quarrel in the middle of your busy schedule?" Hao Ren quickly stood between the two enemies. "Lily, you keep scratching the wall. Vivian, you're right. I also think it was a plane crash. Don't forget there's such a big hole in the spacecraft. Based on the diameter of the hole, it doesn't look like the people on the spacecraft opened the door in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere … "
They walked along the passage that was completely eroded by the tentacles into the depths of the spacecraft. The further they went, the wider the path became. It seemed that they had entered the main corridor of the spacecraft from a small path. But the situation here was just as bad: the First Born had completely integrated with the spacecraft, and its tentacles occupied every corner of the spacecraft.
After taking a few turns in the main corridor, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
They arrived at a rectangular hall, which looked like the main control room of the spacecraft.
Tentacles or roots were also eroding into the hall. Those black and withered tentacles made the hall as gloomy as a weird jungle. In the gap of the 'jungle', there were some alloy pillars of different sizes scattered around. These pillars should have been the spacecraft's control panel, but now they had become climbing objects used by the First Born to support its roots.
"This looks like the 'core'." At a glance, Hao Ren could tell what was special about this place: a large number of roots seemed to have spread out from here. Around the hall, there were thick roots that were much larger than the ones in other places extending out from the holes in the walls. The tangled tentacles on the ground were also intertwined with the center of the hall as the core. And in the center of all the roots, there was a large mass of dead biological tissue.
The only way to describe it was "a mass of biological tissue". The appearance of the First Born had always been abstract. Even a biologist would not know how to classify it into a family, family, or order.
Lily raised Flamejoy and cautiously floated forward. At the same time, she sniffed with a serious face. "I smell death …"
"Don't be so smug. You can't smell anything with the life-support collar." Hao Ren came to the center of the hall and stopped beside the large mass of unknown biological remains. He leaned down and looked at the withered and dead tissue. "This First Born is much smaller than the one we dealt with in the Gnarled Grove. Its body looks like it's about this size. Is this a cub? "
"Severe malnutrition caused it to not grow." Vivian said as she looked at the center of the wreckage. She hesitated for a long time and did not fly over. Instead, she took out a small bat and threw it forward. The little bat fluttered in the air and slowly disappeared …
Vivian said, "… Come back! Come back! "
Hao Ren covered his face. "There's no air here. Don't embarrass your bat."
After Vivian blushed and turned the bat into a blood mist, Y 'lisabet pointed to the middle of the mass of unknown things. "The energy core came from there. It was wrapped in a layer of fossil shell and kept glowing, so I dug it out."
Hao Ren looked up and found that there was something left at the place where Y 'lisabet pointed. Some thick shells that looked like plant pods were scattered there, and around the thick shells were a few broken' leaf stalks'.
"The 'energy core' is the seed of the First Born?" Nangong Wuyue rubbed her chin and muttered.
"Compared to this …" Hao Ren frowned. "I feel that this First Born is different from the one we met in the Plane of Dreams."
