It was a dark sea composed of an unimaginably large number of mimic creatures devouring each other.
The bodies of the mimic creatures are no longer distinguishable from each other after changing and dissolving. The mud-like body has incredible plasticity, allowing it and their bodies to easily stretch and extend. It and they turn their bodies into a 'sea', The 'sea' is as sticky as black mud but can swallow up all the substances that enter it. The eyes like pus bubbles are constantly repeating the process of gathering, forming, breaking and decomposing on the surface of the 'sea'. The sight of those eyes They were all staring at Wu Ming and others who were thousands of meters in the air.
Mimicry creatures can originally imitate any biological mimicry required by the swarm consciousness according to the creatures that have actually existed on the earth as recorded in the swarm consciousness. In other words, if there are creatures that do not have concrete images in the collective consciousness, they cannot simulate them.
The reason why we choose that kind of twisted life with tentacles all over its body, sharp teeth all over its body and a chrysanthemum-like mouthpart as its combat form is also because there are indeed specific parameters and related functions of this creature in the cluster consciousness of the tree of life. record of.
This kind of creature that existed on the earth at an unknown time is quite cheap to produce for the tree of life. Even if it is blown into pieces under the baptism of artillery fire, and even only a piece of meat is left, a little life is injected into it. After energy and mutation factors, they can grow back into a complete mimic creature in a short period of time. It is precisely because of their cheap, easy-to-use, and recyclable characteristics that they can be used as cannon fodder to hold back the torrent of human steel. Counterattack.
But now the Tree of Life no longer needs them to maintain this form. When the Tree of Life realized that Wu Ming and his party were not prepared to engage in a head-on conflict with it, the cannon fodder used to slow them down and consume them had lost their strategic significance.
Even at an altitude of nearly three thousand meters, Wu Ming could see the changes below. The gray-yellow desert land was covered with black mud-like substances like ink falling on a piece of paper. Those who were constantly in the 'sea' The gaze cast by the face of life and death made several people feel horrified.
It and them let out excited and terrifying screams. The screams filled with the joy of birth transcended the barriers of space and shocked everyone's heart.
"Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"
Wu Ming almost had goosebumps all over his body. He was so frightened that he almost gave up his hand holding Siegfried's thigh: "Why are you still playing Cthulhu Terrier at this time!"
"Wow! Brother! This thing is so disgusting!" Elizabeth, who was holding her other thigh, had a look of disgust on her face: "This kind of thing definitely doesn't taste good! At first glance, you can tell that it tastes like squid feet when you chew it. Not even close!”
"Is now the time to talk about this!?"
"Just based on observation, I can tell that the life form of this life form is extremely twisted, and it can create the required organs at will." His hands went around Wu Ming's neck, and the petite doll hanging on his back had its eyes flickering and constantly adjusting the focus. He came up with some characteristics of the creature below: "Analysis does not rule out the possibility of this life form transforming its body into a weapon."
The energy that Siegfried spent three or four minutes accumulating had already been released when several people climbed to a higher altitude. Various body functions were gradually recovering from the sequelae of overloading the overloaded energy. He saw the changes below. The spiritual link reminded everyone: "Be careful, the attack is coming soon!"
The black muddy sea rippled, and slightly inclined hollow tubes wriggled up from the sea. The surface texture of these tubes was completely different from the soft mud-like material around them. The extremely hard carapace was Under direct sunlight, it showed a color that would satisfy any Party A. Thousands of pus bubble eyes that were constantly growing and dying with green light locked onto the flight path of Wu Ming and others, directing their swarm. The consciousness calculates the amount of advance and the best time to attack.
All along, the forces of the Tree of Life have always been the unlucky ones bombarded by humans with torrents of steel and modern firepower. Every time they clashed with humans, they ended up with the entire position and home field being razed to the ground by the latter. It is not that the Tree of Life has never tried to imitate human weapons, but even if a strong person imitates the weapons wielded by a weak person, it will not be able to display its true abilities. After all, it cannot understand the nature of these weapons.
The tube-shaped objects transformed and constructed out of mud-like bodies are products that imitate human wisdom. Even if they only superficially imitate the appearance of their weapons, they have no understanding of the inner principles, formulas and formulas that need to be followed. I don't know anything about the technology used. This kind of poor imitation and counterfeiting will definitely be beaten out of shit if it is used against the modern firepower forged by human wisdom.
But times have changed! Now that modern firepower and the torrent of steel no longer exist, the tree of life is finally big! hatred! have to! Report!
When Wu Ming looked at the colorful black cannon barrels on the ground, which were firing cannonballs like a barrage of cannons, he felt that he was going to be hit hard. Groups of dark, shiny cannonballs burst out of the cannon barrels. The opponent looked at It seemed that they were not prepared to leave any room for them to evade. Those shells fired continuously regardless of the cost blocked all possible escape routes for Wu Ming and others under the calculation of the group consciousness. They fired from all directions at different angles and at different times. They're coming!
"Shit! Do you want to shoot us down this way? Module No Passage!"
"Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"
With Siegfried as the center of protection, a spherical invisible barrier within a radius of 1.5 meters was deployed under the operation of the module. Those dark shells carrying huge kinetic energy hit the barrier created by Wu Ming one after another!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shells composed of hard horny shells shattered under the huge kinetic energy and the unshakable transparent barrier. Wu Ming originally thought that these fake Shoggoth artillery were going to use the shells to shoot them down, so he did not hesitate to activate the module. He set up all-round defense, but when the disgusting mud-like substance contained inside the shell spurted out, Wu Ming realized that he was wrong.
These muddy substances clung to the transparent spherical shield as if they were alive and kept squirming. Shells kept exploding and breaking, and the muddy substances hidden in the shells kept pouring out. Soon these mud monsters completely enveloped the spherical shield. The mud clinging to this side of the shield surged with eyes glowing with faint green light, repeating the process of formation and decomposition, staring closely at the four people protected in the spherical shield through the transparent shield. .
Wu Ming even saw a look of ridicule and teasing in these faint glances.
Their purpose is to capture and restrain Wu Ming and his team!
