Chapter 732 A Good Fish Man!
Lu Yao took out potato chips, melon seeds, popcorn and cola, and prepared for a protracted war.
On the screen.
The landing fish continued to crawl around in the white room.
Every once in a while, a white block would fall into the room, and the landing fish would go over to eat it, with ↑UP status constantly appearing on its head. Its body size has grown several times to the past, and it looks more and more like a small black crocodile.
After eating and sleeping, strolling when awake, and eating when tired, the landing fish lived a life of being adopted without worries about food and clothing.
Lu Yao saw that black marks would still appear periodically on the white room. The coherent symbols formed by these black marks seemed to want to convey some information to the landing fish, and it seemed to be purely recording the feeding time and the status of the landing fish.
He was not sure about the purpose of the black-bearded monster.
Was it purely raising a pet, doing scientific experiments, breeding, or saving endangered animals?
After comparing and observing, Lu Yao confirmed one thing.
The fish feed thrown into the white room was the world stone.
Being able to take out such resources to feed the fish, the black-bearded monster must obviously belong to some kind of advanced life form, with abundant advanced resources.
Lu Yao ate popcorn and continued to observe.
One day, the screen went black again, and when the picture reappeared, the landing fish came to the long-lost ground. Next to it stood the black-bearded monster, and the body of this columnar monster still could not be seen in full.
The black monster's tentacles moved and condensed on the ground, walking in a nearly sliding manner, while the landing fish was dazed on the spot. The black monster's tentacles poked it, and it reluctantly took two steps.
After the simplest physical communication, the black monster began to take the landing fish for a walk outdoors.
Lu Yao was relieved instead.
The black monster walked the fish, which meant that it was very likely to prepare to raise the landing fish for a long time.
He also discovered something.
The narrow field of view on the screen, without text and translation, is because [Xiaoyaoyou] adopts the third-person perspective of the current generation of life. Where the fish can't see, Lu Yao behind it can't see it either. Fish don't have the corresponding language and cognitive ability, and they can't display text and complex information.
The landing fish of this generation has entered a wonderful journey.
Lu Yao summoned Isabel and the collecting spirit Baroye to observe and discuss together.
Baroye still maintained the appearance of a humanoid black mud monster. It stood aside a little stiffly, knowing its position as a younger brother.
Isabel skillfully brought a bench and sat beside it to observe attentively.
"Baroye, what do you think?" Lu Yao called out.
"Uh, big boss, Baroye has no idea about the free and easy journey."
The collecting spirit replied in a low voice.
Lu Yao said again: "What is this black shadow? Have you seen or known anything similar?"
Baroye moved closer to the screen.
"I haven't seen it."
Isabel next to him said: "My lord, that thing is trying to tame and teach this fish."
"It is using its limbs, that is, those whiskers, to communicate with the fish, forming an almost identical outline on the ground."
After Isabel's reminder, Lu Yao discovered that the whiskers of the black monster condensed into a clear shape - with long fins on the back, four claws, a tail, a relatively large head, and crawling on the ground, like a three-dimensional black shadow of a landing fish.
The only difference is that the back of this black shadow is connected to the whiskers of the black monster, just like a puppeteer controlling a puppet on the stage.
As soon as the strange fellow appeared, the landing fish walked around it and became obviously lively.
Its [gregarious] characteristics were stimulated.
The black whisker monster began to take the landing fish out for walks frequently, and they went to more and more places, sometimes under the water, sometimes on the mountain, and finally the black whisker monster took the landing fish to the sky.
Lu Yao saw part of the situation on the ground from the air.
Only a few scattered lakes were left on the earth, and the whole world became extremely dry, with no traces of animals. Volcanoes rose on the surface, either emitting thick smoke or spewing magma.
What is more strange is that these volcanoes have the same shape. They are located at the intersection of a human-shaped mountain range, and look like triangular stars.
These mountains are connected to each other, forming a strange totem that spreads all over the earth, dividing the whole world into regular intervals, which looks like a honeycomb structure on a plane. The volcanoes erupted one after another according to a special law, just like the bright spots on the honeycomb of this mountain range, which reminded Lu Yao of the LED lights on the circuit board.
The warming of the world is also caused by the continuous eruption of a large number of volcanoes.
Lu Yao saw that the black beard monster flew to a black volcano that had not erupted with the landing fish. At this time, it was still impossible to see the full picture of the black beard monster. Only the black column where it landed could be seen, and the long whiskers spreading out.
Its long whiskers went all the way into the volcano, and the black volcano erupted again after a while.
The black-bearded monster led the landing fish to the next volcano.
"It is at the front end of the world, calling the power of the rules of the back end of the world in reverse."
Baroye finally spoke: "This is a very demanding operation method, even many main gods cannot do it."
Isabel also said: "It may have drifted to this world for some reason, so it is asking for help from its peers in the outside world."
Lu Yao continued to observe.
The black-bearded monster's daily life is to feed the fish, and then take the landed fish out to maintain and repair the extinguished volcano to keep it erupting. But this has also caused the entire world to become hot and withered. Even vegetation and lakes on the ground have disappeared without a trace. From an aerial perspective, only large tracts of deserts and rocky mountains can be seen.
However, this has no effect on the landed fish.
Because the black-bearded monster takes great care of this accompanying pet, always feeding it world stones, which not only maintains the fish's life, but also keeps its level rising.
This originally inconspicuous landed fish has a longer life span than any of its previous ancestors.
Looking at this posture, it is very likely that it will become the last surviving amphibious creature in the world, or even a terrestrial creature.
But slowly, the black-bearded monster began to behave in various confusing ways.
It repairs the black volcano, but will suddenly go crazy and destroy a normal volcano.
It tore off its own tentacles and watched them twist and struggle on the ground.
It sometimes transforms its tentacles into various animals, such as monitor lizards, birds, horses, bears, deer, and butterflies, and then makes these animals move, pretending that they still exist...and then uses these animals to touch landed fish, When fighting a fish, the fish can only deal with it carelessly.
…
Lu Yao could only tell that the tentacle turned into an animal in the end because it was bored.
There seems to be something wrong with Blackbeard's mental condition.
During the long-term observation, Lu Yao also gained some new understandings of the black-bearded monster.
This advanced life will leave black marks on any material with its tentacles to express information. The volcanoes throughout the world are full of its handwriting, just like its diary.
The columnar body of the Blackbeard Monster is like a drilling machine, capable of squeezing the World Stone from the world.
The white house that houses the landed fish is inside the body of the black-bearded monster.
The black-bearded monster always stuffs the landing fish into its body and feeds it the World Stone.
…
Baroye suddenly trembled: "This... this is the Shadow Demon!"
It explained: "Big boss, the shadow demon is a very powerful imaginary creature that haunts the trans-limit area and the border zone. The spirit world has dealt with them in the past. This creature likes to imitate all kinds of life it sees. Create a shadow-like appearance.”
"Baroye has never seen shadow demons, but he knows their characteristics. They are a species born with powerful power and can adapt to various worlds and environments. Even if the world they are in is annihilated, they can survive."
"This species is a natural rule follower. They use and utilize rules as easily as taking a walk. The Eldar also suffered a lot from them in the past."
"Shadow demons have unpredictable personalities. Although they live alone, they can copy the target's form and even their unique abilities, making them very difficult to deal with."
Lu Yao thought for a while.
If you encounter a shadow demon and copy Xingtian's [Xing Yao Wu Thousand Years Old], you will really transform into an undead warrior.
"Shadow demons haunt the bordering zone and the transliminal zone, just like some kind of migration. They survive and grow in the bordering zone when they are young. Once they enter the mature stage, they enter the transliminal zone and never come out again. The ones in the mature stage Shadow Demon has no natural enemies.”
"So what the outside world can see are basically young shadow demons. They are very curious and have their own weird personalities."
"Big boss, the shadow demon in Xiaoyaoyou should be a juvenile."
Lu Yao immediately understood what Baroye said.
No wonder Shadow Demon's behavior sometimes seems a bit unclear. It turns out that he is still in the cub stage.
Lu Yao asked: "Is there any danger to the young shadow demon?"
"Because of curiosity, they will copy indiscriminately, and sometimes they will become some very dangerous individuals, and they will do things that they don't think are dangerous, but will bring disaster to the entire world... and there are shadow demons. Most of them are rebellious, and the more they are stopped, the more excited they become. Like this one, it creates volcanoes in the world and raises the temperature, which should be fun for it. "
There was also some helplessness in Baroye's voice: "It is more troublesome to deal with their problems."
Lu Yao had an epiphany.
This is a world-destroying naughty kid.
Tricky indeed.
"Hey, what's wrong with it?" Isabel suddenly said: "Is this young shadow demon sick?"
Lu Yao looked at the screen.
On the screen, the shadow demon with many tentacles was trembling. Its body collapsed and slid down as if it had lost its support, and soon turned into a black mass lying flat on the ground, as if its body had melted.
"What's going on?" Lu Yao asked Baroye.
"It's dead."
The collector whispered: "Most shadow demons cannot grow up healthily. When they are young, they do everything based on instinct and preference. But as they continue to grow, they will gradually awaken from their ignorance. And once they awaken, they will start to think. "
"For shadow demons, thinking is an extremely painful thing. Thinking will bring extreme pain and self-doubt. And due to their solitary nature and personality, there are only two results in the end."
"Either endure and pass this painful growth, formally transform into the mature stage, and fly to the beyond limit zone."
"Or thinking causes your mind to explode and die, just like this young shadow demon."
Barroye said easily: "There are very few shadow demons who can reach adulthood. Most of them die after their own heads explode. It's such a good death. Young shadow demons are a huge disaster to any world."
Lu Yao was amazed when he heard this.
The natural enemy of this super life form that makes even the Spirit Race panic is intelligence. The clueless stage is when they are most harmful.
"The corpse of the shadow demon is a very hard-to-get good thing. It contains rich materials. Because it has copied many lives, it has a large number of spiritual base fragments. And because of their special structure, they will dissipate quickly. For nearby life, , this is unparalleled food and a ladder of evolution.”
Baroye looked at the screen with regret in his tone: "It's a pity that there is no way to get it."
On the screen, the landing fish crawled towards the shadow demon's body.
It opens its mouth.
But it suddenly turned around and ran away.
But after a while, the landed fish trotted over again and opened its mouth to bite.
It resisted leaving again.
The landing fish fought a tug-of-war with its feeding instinct, until the Shadow Demon's body dried completely and turned into a black gray mark on the ground, and then it moved closer.
Then it began to push the surrounding stones with its head, covering up the last traces left by the shadow demon, and piled up a simple grave mound.
The landed fish then left.
At this time, its head showed ↑spirit reaction.
Without the World Stone provided by Shadow Demon, this generation of landing fish struggled to find food everywhere, but they were never able to find new supplies that could sustain their lives, and they died soon after.
Lu Yao's mood was slightly complicated.
From a utilitarian and rational point of view, he very much hopes that the landing fish can eat the body of the shadow demon.
But from a personal perspective, he appreciates the courage and loyalty of the landed fish.
What a great man among fishes! Good Lingji man!
displayed on the screen.
【End of this generation】
"The getaway is over and settlement begins. The level gain is 88×100, the spiritual base reaction gain is 1×100, and the reproduction gain is 0×300."
"If you find a new spiritual base, please give it a name."
"The evolution of the life spirit base was a great success, and I gained spiritual energy × 514800 and [Happy Journey] × 100."
"Due to the awakening of wisdom, the spiritual base has been sealed and closed."
Lu Yao finished choosing the name after thinking carefully.
…

…
There is also a new prompt below that has not been seen before.
"If the conditions are met, do you want to transform this spiritual base?"
"You can transform it into a divine companion, which requires 500 spiritual energy."
"You can also transform it into a god, which requires 200,000 spiritual energy."
Huh?
Lu Yao was stunned.
What's going on?
