Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 725 Raising Gu
"……similar?"

Ke Lan was slightly taken aback. Could it be because he absorbed the original embryo of the "seed", so in the eyes of this fusion body, he is already its kind?

So, it didn't attack itself?
Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the abyss hatchery - a large number of fused embryos curled up inside the fleshy cysts called "egg shells", and the swollen hatching bed slowly swelled with the flow of seawater. Swinging, while the big guy dormant in the deepest part of the sea is silently guarding these larvae that have not yet hatched, and did not devour them.

So, the fusion body will not kill its own offspring?As for the original seed embryo obtained by the New Star Chamber of Commerce, nine out of ten it was extracted from the "Fusion Plus" in front of me... So, in a sense, I am now its "child"?
Then...do I still have to call "Mom"?

Although there is an old saying that "one mountain cannot contain two tigers", there is another old saying that "a tiger's poison does not eat its son"... If there is such a relationship in it, I should be considered safe for the time being, right?
Just as Ke Lan was thinking this way, more than a dozen tentacles covered with white fluff-like mycelium hung down from directly above, covering Ke Lan's whole body.

The face that originally belonged to Camila Claudia slowly opened its mouth, and said intermittently in a somewhat ambiguous voice: "The same kind...rich nutrition...high-quality nutrients...thirsty...devour..."

"Grass!" Ke Lan's heart jumped wildly!
guessed wrong!Completely wrong guess!
The reason why the fusion body in the Haiyuan hatchery did not devour those embryos was entirely because the genetic information contained in those embryos was pitifully small, and it did not help itself much after swallowing... But those fusion bodies after growing up Juveniles are different...

This is like the fishermen on the earth who fish. They never use fishing nets that are too small, just to leave behind those fish fry that haven't grown up...

Ke Lan did not see the second "adult" fusion body in the Haiyuan hatchery, not because those fusion body larvae left there after they became adults, but because they were all eaten by the big guy!
Rather than saying that it is a hatchery, it is more appropriate to say that it is a "Gu Cup"!

Just like raising Gu, the fusion bodies devour each other and merge with each other... Finally, a super monster with the most powerful and complicated gene sequence is born... Because the genetic information library it holds is extremely large, this super monster is almost It has infinite evolutionary directions... As long as it wants, it can activate any gene sequence in its body at any time!
This kind of creature is supposed to devour each other... Only a creature like this can completely use the power of the devoured for its own use...

Although it was a little out of date, Ke Lan saw those inferior web game advertisements under the name of "Shan Hai Jing Alien Beast"... That's right, just like those inferior web games, this kind of creature survives in the world Just for one thing: devour, fuse, and evolve.

They cannot coexist with other living things.

And those seed embryos implanted in the container are not for cultivating new fusion bodies, and their final life or death is irrelevant... because these things are actually "high-end ingredients" prepared for this big guy.

Regardless of whether he has absorbed the two seed embryos or not, in the eyes of this fusion body, he is a delicious meal.

Ke Lan's left arm swung back without warning, the sharp shovel blade cut off several approaching tentacles, and then leaped vigorously——

Generally speaking, jumping up is a very stupid behavior when facing an enemy that is many times larger than itself.Because people in the air have nowhere to rely on and cannot change their trajectory, they are easily captured by the enemy at the final landing point—but for Ke Lan, this is not the case.

He clamped the snatched light machine gun under his armpit, pulled out the fire rate limiter inserted on the side of the gun with a hook of his finger, and then pulled the trigger to the bottom!

The machine gun immediately let out a series of roars like a loom, and the huge recoil pushed Ke Lan in mid-air to retreat continuously, and in a blink of an eye, he was out of the attack range of the tentacles that were chasing him.

But when Ke Lan landed, this machine gun was completely useless—after the limiter was removed, the gun could empty a chain of 42 rounds in just one second, and this rate of fire is already history The top rate of fire of the famous MG[-] machine gun in the world is more than four times that of the live ammunition Phalanx close-in defense guns equipped on battleships... but the price is that while tearing the enemy, it also tears the barrel of its own gun.

Ke Lan stabbed the crimson deformed gun barrel directly at a tentacle attacking from the side. The high temperature immediately formed a black carbonized layer on the surface of the white mycelium, but the tentacle's offensive was not blocked by this. The barrel of the gun was directly twisted into a ball of twists, and was engulfed and rolled towards Ke Lan together.

"damn it!"

Ke Lan cursed viciously, let go of the butt of the gun in his hand, drew back, and smashed his tentacles on the poured concrete floor, creating a shallow pit of nearly half a meter.

"This thing seems to be eyeing me... So as long as I can lead it around here, maybe I can buy Aya and the others three 10 minutes to evacuate... But the problem is... I can last for three 10 minutes Is it?" Ke Lan quickly weighed the countermeasures in his mind - the basement of the New Star Chamber of Commerce is very large, and the various passages are intricate, like a maze. If the opponent is just an ordinary monster, he may still be able to take it around. The labyrinth... But with the power of the fusion body, I'm afraid it will not choose to walk through the passages built by humans.

In its eyes, these walls are almost like paper, and there is no way to stop its progress. It will only choose the shortest path to chase Ke Lan, as if there is a wall blocking the way, it will directly push down the wall. If Ke Lan runs to On the upper floor, just lift the ground...

In this chasing and fleeing mode, within 5 minutes, the entire building of the Nova Chamber of Commerce will collapse... Wait until this guy emerges from the ruins and sprinkles the spores of the mimic fungus around... then everything will be over.

Ke Lan stepped back quickly while observing the changes in the fusion body. At the same time, he was observing his own body.

He had already absorbed the original seed embryo, and absorbed two doses at once... However, none of the reaction symptoms described by the captured instructor appeared on Ke Lan.
