The basement is also a deep and narrow environment that circulates downwards, but when you walk to the dark end, there is a bright ray of sunlight that illuminates everything.
There was a Thorian crawler squatting at the door, but at this moment, this grass-gray humanoid creature was very obediently squatting on the ground and unable to get up.
But everyone no longer stared at the crawler, because at this moment, a huge creature was hanging in the middle of a ring-shaped building.
What kind of creature is this?
Talking about animals, the mouthparts that open and close like petals prove that this is a special symbol that only insects have; talk about insects, the "branches" and vines wrapped around are full of symbols of plants; but it seems that it is not just plants... …
On the contrary...it's a bit like Cordyceps sinensis, it has the characteristics of a plant and an insect, but the difference is that it will grow huge.
Moreover, as everyone got closer, the creature suddenly vomited out a pool of sticky lake liquid like retching, and then "gave birth" to an Asari!
It's just that this is a green Asari, and it's also wearing the clothes of an Asari commando.
The female Asari commando with dark green patterns on her face declared the charges of their visitors without expression: "Invaders! Every step you take is a sin. You walking zombies, the only end is death." Or rot!”
Seeing Shepard's unfamiliar face, the Asari Commando solemnly introduced: "I am the spokesperson of the "Ancient Elders", just like I am the spokesperson of Saren. The person standing in front of you is Solian, you must Face this God with reverence!”
Shepard didn't care how the ancient elders should be awed, but she wanted to avoid a fight as much as possible and said, "You gave Saren something I need."
But the Asari who spoke for Thorian was very dissatisfied when he heard these words: "Saren is looking for the lost knowledge of civilization. For the first time in a long time, the "ancient elders" listened to the voice of flesh and blood in the harvest cycle. , and an agreement was reached.
Next, the cold machine will start to slaughter flesh and blood creatures and then start the next cycle again, but this is what you flesh and blood creatures asked for! The "Ancient Elder" is tired of seeing you being so capricious, and she will never listen to your nonsense again. "
Shepard immediately asked Thorian's spokesperson to release the control: "I will not let you continue to enslave them, release them immediately!"
But this tone made Solian very disdainful: "Solian will never care about those fleeting things anymore. Your life span is not long, but you have gone too far!"
If the two sides couldn't talk well, they would naturally start fighting.
Xie Yuan is now a little troubled: How to incorporate this strange creature into the system without attracting too much attention.
...After all, if such a valuable creature is sacrificed to the system, it will probably get a chance to strengthen itself, right?
Yes, all Xie Yuan can think about now is letting Solian die.
Thorian thought that Shepard, as a short-lived species, had no ability to hunt her.
It's ridiculous that this guy himself is a psychic telepath, but he can't see the monstrous destiny in Shepard. He doesn't understand the secrets of heaven and deserves to perish.
But this psychic ability and huge vitality cannot be wasted!
Xie Yuan wants to absorb this guy into the system space and sell it in exchange for some gadgets that can enhance himself, or treasures that can make him rise quickly.
His personal strength has temporarily reached a bottleneck - his personal force has reached the pinnacle of organic creatures in this universe, but he cannot defeat large military spacecraft. You can only stay naked for a limited time in the space environment... If you persist for 72 hours, you may die of hypoxia and suffocation.
In terms of power, although with the help of Ada and his past accumulation, he can barely have a certain influence... but it is only limited to places like the World God Galaxy where there is no care.
And the reapers are about to knock on the door!
Well, next, if there is no other way to improve, Xie Yuan will either participate in other science fiction worlds to find some interesting biochemical modifications to improve himself or expand his power; or he will find a way to cheat Cerberus or the Shadow Broker to drive influence.
But no matter which one, Xie Yuan must become stronger. Only with stronger personal power can he expand his power and win over people's hearts and unify the world.
There are only two ways to deal with the Reapers: expand a large fleet strength and pursue head-on defeat of the Reapers' hundreds of two-kilometer-long super-dreadnoughts.
But it is impossible for the existing power to triple the entire galaxy's dreadnought fleet within a few years.
Concentrating power through coups can only make the Citadel Council tend to fight among themselves, so they can only build, rob, steal... and expand through external moves in the outside world.
But this is the most difficult move. Xie Yuan himself does not have the confidence to expand like this, so he can only take it one step at a time.
The second way is to bet on the "one" that the reaper inexplicably gave him to escape, which is the so-called sky-holding furnace.
Xie Yuan had no idea what the Qingtian Furnace itself was, where it came from, and what it was used for—but this thing had a long history. According to Javik, this was discovered when they were looking for traces of the last reincarnated race that was exterminated.
Then I also learned that it was left to the previous race from the last civilization... Here is the matryoshka doll!
But to be honest, if this thing is completed, it basically means that all the initiative is given to the Reapers. As a paranoid person, Xie Yuan does not believe that the Reapers don't know about this thing. He suspects that this is their intention. of.
But it just happened to stay, passed down from generation to generation, you taste it, you taste it carefully.
Therefore, Xie Yuan did not want to take this path unless he had to. That was why he was so actively promoting the Andromeda expedition plan... just to have a backup plan for a comeback.
Don’t worry about victory, think about defeat first. If you really don’t consider off-board moves, the problem of the Reapers cannot be something that Xie Yuan and Shepard’s generation can solve!
"It's time to be more serious!" Thinking of this, Xie Yuan suddenly sighed depressedly.
"What?" Shepard, who had just killed a bunch of Thorian crawlers and the Asari commando that had just "given birth" looked at Xie Yuan behind him strangely, "What are you crazy about? !Did you just get lazy?"
Just now, Shepard discovered the weakness of this creature - once the vines and vesicles connecting the floors of various buildings were broken, it would cause Sorian pain.
"Juice...juice" At this moment, the next Asari commando was "born" from Solian's mouthparts.
But under Shepard's strange gaze, Xie Yuan suddenly put away his weapon and "pushed" his hands behind his back. Suddenly, two scimitars were "pushed" out from behind.
"Why are you crazy?" Shepard couldn't understand Xie Yuan's operation.
But at this moment, Xie Yuan's eyes were strangely red, and his expression became extremely bloodthirsty, but his tone was very relaxed: "Don't worry, I'll just let it go for a while. This Solian is so disobedient, I have to chop it into pieces." "
"Smell?!" Shepard didn't understand what this meant.
But someone knows a little better than her.
"How is that possible?!" At this moment, the Asari commando, who had just given birth and was still looking full of hostility and murderous intent, had trembling lips and a panicked expression on his face, "The ancient elders said you are a rare telepath. , How could such a guy appear in a short-lived species!"
"Telepath?" Looking at Xie Yuan who was in a bloodthirsty state, Shepard's eyes became sharp.
