As the giant golden eyes slowly narrated, the scene quickly unfolded in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
This was the earth three hundred thousand years ago, on a sunny morning.
With some blazing star light falling from the sky, ancient creatures with different looks woke up from their sleep one after another, and began the cycle of life over and over again.
But something doesn't seem right about today's situation.
There are a pair of spherical objects on the desolate and vibrant land, which look like they grew out of the ground overnight.
But the dim light that shines around them seems to prove that they do not belong to this world, but are just passers-by.
Many creatures were curious about these spherical objects and moved forward, as if they wanted to take a closer look.
After a while, one of the spherical objects with a hazy gray light slowly cracked, and the outer agar-like package gently fell off, revealing the appearance inside.
This is a crouched, weird being.
Without a fixed body, it is like freedom without shackles. You can only see His slow stretching movements.
He is squirming and exploring.
At this moment, a thick python happened to pass by.
This elegant and cruel creature seemed to provide him with inspiration. Chaos' body shrank for a while, and fine scales quickly formed on the surface.
Scales similar to those of a python are rapidly forming, as if a draft has been written long ago, anxious to be presented in the light.
Bones, muscles, blood vessels, fat...
The translucent body became solid, and the illusory existence began to arrive.
"Hiss!"
The giant python noticed the changes around him and spat out the message vigilantly.
It just ate a monkey last night, one of those things that was covered in hair and extremely flexible.
So I don't have much desire to eat at the moment.
After being alert for a while, the giant python probably felt that this mass of things would not attack it, but would only affect its digestion to a certain extent, so it reluctantly moved its body and crawled lazily towards a more comfortable shaded area. go.
Not long after the giant python left, the translucent body solidified suddenly. Two slender arms with five fingers broke out of the body. After a while, they continued to solidify in the air.
"hiss……"
The snake screamed again, but this time it was not the sound made by the giant python, but the gradually solidified... Him!
After a short period of adaptation, the newly formed creature slowly raised its head and used a pair of slender and powerful arms to lift its body from the ground little by little.
The whole movement is so slow that snails on the branches and leaves can easily catch up.
But He was in no hurry.
Compared to the other unbroken ball, his progress is obviously much faster.
The hissing snakes began to become rhythmic, and He tried to convey the purpose of His visit in this simple to monotonous language.
The person he was talking to was naturally the giant python entrenched under the big tree.
When the giant python saw the strange thing suddenly making a similar sound, it immediately raised its head warily.
The red snake spit out letters, and its amber eyes were filled with alertness and curiosity.
Judging from its underdeveloped wisdom, the strange thing on the opposite side may have taken a fancy to the shade where it rested.
Because I was in a good mood after eating, and I felt the friendliness coming from the unfamiliar syllables.
The giant python reluctantly gave up the territory beneath it and curled up most of its body under the shade of a tree in the other direction.
The meaning is obvious - 'You can share the shade of this territory with me. '
However, He didn't seem to be satisfied with this for a long time, and he stayed there and hissed for a long time, as if he wanted to have more complicated communication with the giant python.
However, this time, the python just rested its head on its body without any intention of paying attention.
"The level of intelligence is too low. I really admire you for being able to communicate with it patiently for such a long time. Youyu..."
Obscure syllables came from behind him. Looking back, he found that the previously motionless sphere had cracked, and a strange creature covered with carapace was struggling to crawl out of it.
He has no mouth, and relies on the syllables made up of the bumps of his carapace to express what he wants to express.
"Raboni, we should respect every life on this planet..."
A hoarse voice like a snake's cry came from the mouth of the strange creature named Youyu. At the same time as he spoke, his body was slowly 'standing up'.
】
In fact, standing up is not an accurate description, because except for the upper body of a dragon, which looks like a human being, the lower body is completely the body of a giant snake!
The thickness and size are the same as those of a giant python, and even the gradually obvious scales and patterns on it match the details.
"Kekeke..."
??????????????????Raboni's body trembled, causing the armor plates on his body to collide with each other.
The sound was harsh and unpleasant, but it was clear that He was laughing at Youxiao.
"Youxiao, our home planet used up the energy of a star to open up a wormhole for us to land on this planet. We have gone through so much trouble here not just for you to play with the natives of this planet. Playing house.”
Disgust appeared on Youxiao's unformed face, and he responded in a low voice:
"I understand your urgency, but the necessary procedures still need to be carried out. If there are 'seeds' on this planet, according to the 'Grand Treaty', we cannot interfere..."
The crustacean creature Raponi waved his hand and interrupted with some impatience:
"Don't use the 'Great Treaty' to pressure me. You and I both know the geographical location of this planet. It's so remote. Even if we go against the treaty and blow up the planet directly, the 'Alliance' will only think that There was some minor accident.”
"I think they won't even rule out investigators coming here to take a look..."
Hearing these words, the half-monkey, half-snake Youxiao paused significantly.
After a moment of silence, He slowly spoke:
"So what do you want to do? Put the mission on hold?"
Raponi responded excitedly:
"Of course not! On the contrary, let's hurry up and start planning quickly!"
"With the technology of your home planet, it is not difficult to cultivate a 'seed'. Why bother to communicate with the natives of this planet one by one!"
"Complete the mission early and save some extra life to wait for your and my compatriots to come, wouldn't you?"
Probably because the sound of the carapace's smacking was too harsh, the giant python entrenched under the shade of the tree felt a little disgusted.
I saw it raising its huge head again, spitting out snake bites in the direction of Raponi, and making bursts of demonstrative hissing sounds.
However, Raponi didn't care about this, and there was a sense of contempt for low-level beings from high-level beings all over his body.
"Look, this little thing with less than 1 life energy still wants to attack me. It hasn't even evolved the organs to sense life energy!"
Youyu still hasn’t given up on his idea:
"Perhaps the life forms on this planet are different. Please give me some more time and at least do a simple screening..."
Raponi was silent for a long time, and finally shook his carapace helplessly:
"Three natural years, I will give you three natural years of this planet. During this period, I will not interfere with anything you do, but at the end of the three years, if you fail to find the secret of this planet, 'Seed', just do what I say."
Youji nodded slightly: "Okay, just three years."
After saying that, the two separated and went towards their goals.
The sun rises and the moon sets, autumn passes and spring comes.
A dragon was dragging his barely flexible figure, making contact with the creatures on this planet one by one.
Raponi, on the other hand, used the technology brought from his home planet to quickly establish a laboratory on this planet.
The gap between the two is widening little by little.
At the end of the three-year period, Raponi has restored 50% of the technology on his home planet and is still moving forward.
But Youyu only borrowed the simplest techniques to increase his speed. He was covered in travel dust and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
The two creatures met again in the original place.
Looking at the snake-tailed body, the dragon looked embarrassed, and the Laboni carapace collided again, making a mocking sound:
"How's it going? Have you given up?"
He was almost certain that there were no 'seeds' sufficient to sprout an intelligent race on this planet.
However, just when Raponi thought that Youyu would be forced to recognize the reality, the face opposite him burst into an unprecedented smile:
"No, I'm right! There are 'seeds' on this planet. According to the 'Grand Treaty', we can only provide guidance and cannot interfere!"
"Impossible!" Raponi's carapace rubbed against his body, his voice sharp and harsh, "You're lying!"
Youxiao had a faint smile on his face. The wind on this planet brought him more than just vicissitudes of life.
Under the leadership of Youyu, Raponi soon came to a valley.
There are abundant materials here, but there are no large beasts to occupy it. It is a good place for weak creatures to survive.
Next to a naturally formed cave, Raponi saw a group of 'monkeys' walking upright.
After testing, these seemingly incompetent creatures indeed possess higher intelligence than other species and have the qualifications to become 'seeds'!
He glanced at Youyu next to him unconvinced, and the carapace on Raponi's body creaked:
"I didn't expect you to find it. In that case, you and I will start the next step of guidance immediately. After that, I want to go to sleep early..."
Youyu smiled and nodded, and left with Raponi.
In the following days, the two creatures taught the group of 'monkeys' how to produce fire and how to use fire.
Afterwards, Youyu and Raponi fell into a deep sleep together, preparing to wake up after ten thousand years to check the progress of evolution.
Next to the crystal hibernation coffin prepared by Raponi, Youyu carefully cleaned the dust from the snake's tail, preparing to soak his body and start hibernation.
Before closing the coffin lid, He emphasized to Raponi with some worry:
"The establishment of the 'Grand Treaty' is not without reason. You must not be too anxious and try to accelerate the evolution of this 'seed'."
Raponi's carapace trembled:
"Don't worry, didn't I come over to sleep with you? After adjusting the parameters, I fell asleep too..."
After speaking, he pointed to the crystal coffin not far away.
"Okay, see you in ten thousand years."
Youyu put his head into the coffin, took a deep breath of the translucent liquid inside, and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't see that Raponi next to the crystal coffin had a smile on his face that showed success...
