Yi Chen came to the unfamiliar Arcturus from the Fulcrum Star. The surrounding environment changed drastically. He was partially burned when the escape capsule A landed from outer space. He couldn't help but feel a little tired at this moment.
So Yi Chen found a clean stone on the side of the hill facing the desert and sat on it to rest, preparing to wait for the 3,000 purple-skinned lizardmen to leave the river bed before exploring the mountainous area opposite.
Yi Chen was far away from those purple-skinned lizardmen, a full five or six kilometers away. One of them was in the dark and the other was in the light, so Yi Chen was not worried that the purple-skinned lizardmen would find him.
"Those backward slave civilizations of Arcturus must have been attracted by the explosion of escape cabin A, so they wandered around the river bed to explore!"
Yi Chen closed his eyes and rested his mind while thinking, trying to recover his physical strength and injuries as soon as possible.
"Click, click,..."
A continuous sound of shells breaking attracted Yi Chen's attention. Looking for the sound, he made a new discovery on the slope of the hill facing the desert.
In that piece of sand and gravel, in addition to withered yellow lichen, there are actually many regular small square grids. It is obvious that they are not naturally formed structures, but creations of wisdom.
The slight "click, click" sound of the shell breaking came from underneath the neatly arranged square grids.
"Is there something down here?"
While muttering to himself, Yi Chen cautiously moved towards the small square grid group, wanting to find out.
Standing on the edge of the small square grid group, I realized that they were small windows one by one. The material inlaid on the windows was a bit like the glass on the earth, 18 or 19 centimeters thick.
The light from Arcturus's sun shines into the interior of the hills through these small windows. It's unknown how big the space below is, and there are faint purple and white lights flickering inside.
"Hey, what is this?"
Out of curiosity, Yi Chen squatted down, brushed away the dust on a small window with his hands, and looked down.
At first, it felt like the black hole was too dark to see clearly. When my eyes adapted to the light conditions, I saw many white egg-shaped objects densely packed below. I didn’t know what they were for.
As another slight "click, click" sound of shell breaking sounded, Yi Chen saw that the white egg-shaped objects cracked from the middle one by one, and many small purple animals came out of them.
The little purple animal kept squirming and making inaudible "squeak, squeak" sounds.
The sudden change startled Yi Chen and he couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is this!" After looking at it carefully for a while, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed: "Damn, these little purple things are The outline of the animal looks a bit like those of the purple-skinned lizardmen! Is this the nursery of the purple-skinned lizardmen?"
Then a bunch of questions emerged in Yi Chen's mind one by one. Do purple-skinned lizard people lay eggs? Not viviparous? So aren't they reproductively isolated from humanoid intelligent life? If they encounter humanoid intelligent life, will they simply treat it as an animal and capture it?
Yi Chen was thinking wildly while observing the incubation process of the purple-skinned lizard man, and finally saw clearly the appearance of the purple-skinned lizard man.
It has six limbs with two legs and four arms. The two legs and arms are roughly in the same position as humans, except that there is an extra pair of arms on the two ribs. The eyes are on both sides above the center of the head. The eyeballs are protruding and can move forward and backward. Move left and right at will, the ears are not far above the eyes, very close together, and very small, like trumpet-shaped antennae. The nose is a vertical slit in the center of the face, between the mouth and the ears.
These purple-skinned lizardmen may be partially different from the adult purple-skinned lizardmen because they are cubs. They are lighter in color, the ferocious fangs on the lower jaw have not grown out, and the head-to-body proportions are imbalanced. In short, the adult purple-skinned lizardmen are The lizardmen are fierce and wild, while the young purple-skinned lizardmen are cute and adorable.
Yi Chen, who was lamenting the huge gap between adults and cubs of purple-skinned lizardmen, suddenly felt a dangerous aura approaching from behind, followed by a slight sound of metal collision. Without any hesitation, he jumped forward with all his strength.
At the critical moment, Yi Chen unleashed all the potential in his body. In one leap, Yi Chen actually reached a height of more than 4 meters. He easily jumped to the other end of the nursery cave and landed on the soft lichen without making any sound. The sound caused a distance of more than 20 meters from where he originally crouched, and he turned to face the direction of the danger.
Not far from where Yi Chen originally crouched, he saw a strong purple-skinned lizard man riding a dark blue four-legged animal, making dumbfounded gestures to throw a large metal spear. Perhaps he was shocked by the scene in front of him, but he stagnated in place halfway through the action of throwing the big spear. This purple-skinned lizard man is 2.5 meters tall. His appearance is the same as that of a purple-skinned lizardman cub, but he doesn't have the cuteness and cuteness of a purple-skinned lizardman cub.
At this moment, the strong purple-skinned lizard man was riding a dark blue four-legged animal in the same way that humans ride horses. He clamped the body of the mount with his strong legs, and raised his right arms above his head to hold the large, gleaming weapon. Spear, in order to maintain body balance, the left arm is stretched outward.
His mount, a dark blue quadruped, wore no bit or bridle.
This dark blue four-legged animal looks ugly. When it opens its big mouth, three lips will appear. Like its owner, it is hairless, with a dark blue back, a white belly, and its limbs are a whole circle bigger than a flattery on the earth.
The strong purple-skinned lizard man was followed by more than 30 of his kind. They were also riding dark blue four-legged animals, but they did not try to throw Yi Chen with a large metal spear. At this time, there were incredible expressions on their faces.
Each of these purple-skinned lizardmen carries several weapons. In addition to large metal spears, there are also white metal rifles and short knives of about one meter. Both the rifle and the dagger were hung on the saddle's buckle, and they made a slight metallic clang sound when they touched each other.
Not long ago, more than 30 purple-skinned lizardmen came to check out their nursery and accidentally discovered Yi Chen here. They could have easily killed Yi Chen from a distance by grabbing randomly, but because of the strong purple-skinned lizard man, they didn't do that. Because the purple-skinned lizard man had another, more vicious idea. He wanted to stab Yi Chen to death with a large metal spear at close range to show off his martial prowess.
Withered lichen is the main vegetation on Arcturus, covering many places on Arcturus except for the frozen areas at the poles, and this hill is no exception.
The strong purple-skinned lizard man led a group of men to sneak up on Yi Chen on the soft lichen, preparing to kill him with one blow and show off in front of everyone. However, because the murderous aura of the strong purple-skinned lizard man was too strong, and the rifle and dagger on the mount made a noise when they collided, Yi Chen was alerted, and Yi Chen escaped their sneak attack in time.
Yi Chen was shocked when he saw clearly the group of purple-skinned lizardmen opposite the Yuying Cave. This group of purple-skinned lizardmen were equally surprised to see Yi Chen, but the reasons for their surprise were completely different.
The purple-skinned lizard people were surprised by Yi Chen's incredible jumping ability. Although their bodies were extremely strong, they could never jump as high as three or four meters like Yi Chen. They secretly thought that only the legendary gods could do it. Come on!
However, Yi Chen is now wearing tattered clothes. His original prison clothes have shrunk in the high temperature of escape cabin A. Now they don't fit at all. It's a bit like an adult wearing children's clothes, and there are a lot of stains on them. Look. He doesn't look like a glamorous god.
Yi Chen was surprised by how tall, strong, and ferocious the purple-skinned lizardmen were. They were completely different from the cute little purple-skinned lizardmen in the nursery. These adult purple-skinned lizardmen were simply like monsters in earth myths and legends. They are generally the same, and the sight of them is terrifying.
Yi Chen, who originally wanted to turn around and run away, found that in addition to large metal spears, these purple-skinned lizard men also had rifles and daggers, so he immediately gave up the idea. He was not sure that he could withstand more than thirty rifles at the same time. shooting.
Those purple-skinned lizard people gathered together and talked about something in a low voice. Their language was not the lingua franca of the alien world, and Yi Chen couldn't understand it at all.
This made Yi Chen even more crazy, lamenting that the purple-skinned lizard people are really a backward slave civilization, and they haven't even spread the common language of the alien world that has long been popularized!
Not long after, the purple-skinned lizard men turned over and mounted the dark blue four-legged animals one by one, and Yi Chen immediately made defensive movements.
Those purple-skinned lizardmen did not charge towards Yi Chen, but retreated in the direction they came from, leaving only one purple-skinned lizardman at the other end of the nursery.
The group of purple-skinned lizardmen retreated about 200 meters and then stopped, driving their dark blue four-legged animals to face Yi Chen's direction to be alert, ready to charge if something went wrong.
The purple-skinned lizardman who stayed behind was a strong purple-skinned lizardman. He seemed to be the leader of this group of purple-skinned lizardmen, commanding the large group of purple-skinned lizardmen to retreat to their current position.
After the group of purple-skinned lizardmen stopped, the strong purple-skinned lizardman lifted his legs and jumped off his dark blue four-legged animal.
He first threw the big metal spear on the ground, and then threw aside the various weapons, large and small, hidden on his body one by one. In the end, there was no weapon on his body except decorations, and he was no different from Yi Chen. Only then did he start from Yu The other end of the baby's hole slowly walked towards Yi Chen.
About 10 meters away in front of Yi Chen, the strong purple-skinned lizard man stopped. He took off a metal armband, spread it flat in his palm and handed it to Yi Chen, and murmured in a loud voice.
Yi Chen was a little speechless and complained in his heart: "I'm sorry, this is my first contact with non-humanoid intelligent life, but it's a pity that I can't understand a word of the other party's words!
The strong purple-skinned lizard man seemed to have realized something. He stopped talking, raised his horn-shaped ears, and stared straight at Yi Chen with his somewhat bulging eyes.
