Chapter 40 Alien Creatures

The military god turned his seat around and handed me a piece of information. After I took the information, I found that they were all magic photos. There was a whole stack, at least more than a thousand in number. When the military god saw me starting to look at the photos, he began to explain: "This thing appeared shortly after you left. In fact, there were more than just this one."

"You mean there is another red planet like this?"

"The other one is not red but black, and it only appears at night. The two planets, red and black, exist in complete opposition. One appears during the day and the other appears at night. As for the sun and the moon, the moon is It can be seen, every night it will cross the surface of the black star, and the sun will be blocked by the red planet every day, making it completely invisible."

Rose said: "So the red planet is between the sun and us, while the black planet is farther than the moon, right?"

"That's more or less it! As you know, we don't have astronomical equipment here, so we can only make a rough judgment. In addition, the unknown creatures Ziri saw are called ghouls, and they are a completely independent race."

"Independent race?"

"The information the members got from the system NPC said that these are creatures from another world. My logic program could not understand this definition, so I thought it was a kind of alien and named them Red Star creatures because they are From that red celestial body."

Rose smiled and said: "You can understand it this way. Different worlds must also be different planets, so it's okay to call them aliens."

The God of War pressed a few buttons on the console, and the big screen in front suddenly flashed, and then a large row of three-dimensional projections of creatures appeared, and the projections were still rotating, so that their full body features could be seen. "As you can see, these are the confirmed species of creatures on the Red Star. There are three hundred and seventy-three species in total. We don't know yet whether there are other species, but what is certain is that these are by no means all races on the Red Star."

"There are so many? The flying colony I saw only had about twenty types!" I suddenly thought that I should let the demon pets know the situation, so I released them and the Ring Knight. Shuangxue and the others were also frightened when they saw these creatures.

Military God explained: "Those you see are all flying species. Not all Red Star creatures can fly, most of them are still terrestrial races. Speaking of which, there are many more types of flying creatures on our planet. And Red Star The combat effectiveness of the flying troops among the creatures is not strong, but their numbers are extremely large.”

I nodded empathetically. "I've already experienced this. Just seeing them flying over covering the sky was really scary."

Military God immediately said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this. We have had several conflicts with these things. I don't know whether it is because we haven't encountered high-level creatures or for other reasons. Anyway, these creatures are very weak. Although they look long, It's scary. But their combat power and appearance are completely out of proportion, and they are basically only equivalent to the level of level 500 players. Of course, I'm talking about ordinary players, not you. When you were level 500, there were already others who were 700. Super combat effectiveness!"

"Level 500?" I thought for a moment and said, "Most players are now over level 600, which means that the individual combat effectiveness of these things is very low, right?"

"Yes, but so far we have never found a Red Star creature acting alone. At least once before, nearly ten thousand units appeared together when we encountered them. Most of the time they were collective activities of more than one hundred thousand. Although their individual combat power is very Low. But with a group of hundreds of thousands, players cannot attack at all. As long as they find a living creature, whether it is a player, an NPC or a wild creature, they will all start fighting immediately, and it is usually our side that is unlucky. After all, apart from regular wars, we It’s rare for hundreds of thousands of people to gather together here.”

"They are indeed very dangerous creatures." Ling asked: "Do you know how these creatures came here? Even if their planet is nearby, they have to find a way to come here!"

"They seem to have come through something similar to a space rift. The location of this thing's appearance is very irregular, and it always jumps intermittently. Each time it opens, it lasts for three to five hours. And it's almost everywhere in the world. These guys’ footprints.”

"Hey guys, there's a big invasion from another world!"

Rose asked, "So are these things intelligent?"

"Yes, and it's not low." The God of War operated on the console again, and some strange objects appeared in the holographic projection area in front of the screen. The thing projected this time is a huge machine. Although there is no similar thing on the earth, it can still be seen that it is some kind of machine, or a semi-biological machine. There is an obvious metal structure on this thing, but some places are covered with red muscle tubes and a large number of carapace-like structures. It can be said that it is half biological and half mechanical.

Military God introduced: "This thing was brought over by one of the groups of Red Star creatures. Unfortunately, it was smashed and we couldn't grab it. Its function seems to be to emit a special force field, which is completely unusable within this range. magic."

"Can this thing create a forbidden magic realm?"

"Not only is it a magic ban, we also found several similar machines. One of them is an air ban device that prohibits any flying objects from taking off. There is also a light ban device that turns dark once activated. And these Big guys don’t seem to be afraid of the dark.”

Rose said: "These monsters have such big eyes. It is normal to have dark vision."

Military God said: "Although these machines have been discovered, it is obvious that not all Red Star creatures are very smart. The machines can only show that there are highly intelligent individuals within the other party, but it does not mean that they are all smart. So far, these 373 have been discovered. Three hundred and fifty-seven of the types are low-level intelligent creatures whose intelligence is only at the level of Warcraft. Thirteen of the remaining sixteen species have intelligence that has reached the level of orcs, and only three can reach the intelligence level of humans and dragons."

"That's not too bad."

Military God continued: "Except for their different looks, I think the Red Star creatures are actually similar to the creatures on the earth. There is also an absolutely strong race among them, just like humans, occupying a dominant position. Some other races may have slightly stronger individual strength. , but generally speaking, this dominant race is relatively powerful. In addition, we found that the Red Star creatures are extremely cruel. They are almost unable to communicate and behave to us as if they were looking at food. The possibility of negotiation is infinitely close to zero."

I nodded: "So are there things on another planet?"

The God of War nodded and said: "We will temporarily name this black planet that appears at night as the shadow planet. It appears together with the red planet. There are also alien races on the shadow planet, but its characteristics are different from those of the red planet. The creatures on the red planet are completely opposite."

"completely opposite?"

"Yes, exactly the opposite." The God of War made some operations, and the projection platform was divided into two. One side showed red star creatures, and the other side showed many new species. The two sides are just in contrast. Military God introduced: "What you see now, these on the right are the creatures of the shadow planet. In comparison, it is easy to distinguish them in terms of shape."

The God of War is right. Although there are all kinds of creatures on the shadow planet, their common feature is that their whole bodies are wrapped in a layer of black, smoke-like material, and the actual image cannot be seen at all, only an outline can be seen roughly. . However, the eyes of the creatures on the shadow planet are very prominent, and their shining red eyes are the only things that can be seen clearly under the black fog. The appearance of the red star creature looks ugly and scary. But the shadow creature gives people a suffocating sense of oppression, as if a hand is strangling one's neck.

"Did you see anything?" Military God asked.

I nodded: "Very strong. An almost suffocating sense of oppression and terrifying mental pressure."

"That's not all." Military God pointed at the shadow creature in front: "First of all, pay attention to the contact point between the projection and the ground. You will find that the shadow creature actually does not touch the ground. Although this is just a projection, my system displays the ground The thing should be a 100% simulated image, which is what real shadow creatures are like. They don't touch the ground at all. They are completely floating forward."

Ling said: "It looks very much like a ghost."

"You're right." The God of War tapped the keyboard, and the red star creature on the left disappeared. An enlarged ghost appeared in place, and only one of the other half of the shadow creatures remained. After being enlarged and suspended next to the ghost, some arrowed indicator lines connect the various parts of the ghost and the shadow creature. Military God explained: "What you are seeing now is a comparison of the two creatures. At first glance, they seem to be similar, but if you look at it yourself, you will find that these creatures are different from ghosts. They have no energy structure. They look like It is a shadow of nothingness. In fact, there is a substantial part inside it, and it is not a true entity of nothingness. Players who have had contact with shadow creatures during this period also reported that weapons will be blocked after passing through the smoke on the surface. In other words, there is an entity inside the shadow. Moreover, according to the members' descriptions, the entity inside the shadow is not as simple as ordinary muscle tissue, because when their weapons are cut, it will feel like cutting into steel, and they have not been cut into it at all. Feel."

"Does that mean the physical defense of this kind of thing is very high?" Yeyue asked.

Scott also asked: "Will it be as invincible in physical defense as a tank or a steel tooth?"

"That's not true." Military God said: "Some players have killed shadow creatures, but they paid a high price at that time. The number of shadow creatures is far less than that of red star creatures. They usually appear alone, and occasionally they move in groups. But there are rarely more than ten individuals active at the same time. However, although their number is very small, their combat effectiveness can completely make up for this shortcoming. Among all the battles with shadow creatures found so far, they have the worst strength. They are at least level 900 or above. And their average level should be above level 1,800, which means that a team of less than 20 players will definitely have no chance of winning against these guys."

"So strong? Isn't that more dangerous than the Red Star creature?"

"If they have the same thoughts as the red star creatures, it would be very dangerous, but fortunately it is not like this. The shadow creatures do not seem to be very cruel. All the combat cases discovered so far are all initiated by players. There are no shadow creatures. There are records of active attacks. In addition, after observation, we have determined that these shadow creatures have more advanced intelligence than the red star creatures, and this is almost the intelligence of the entire population. We have not found any shadow creatures with lower intelligence levels than orcs, and most of them All have intelligence beyond human beings.”

"So they can communicate?" I'm more concerned about this. If the two sides really fight, it will be a subtraction. No matter who wins in the end, the remaining strength will definitely not be as good as before. But if we can negotiate, even if we can't add, our strength will at least be higher than before. Therefore, when it comes to such a powerful group, I have always been courteous before attacking. It is best if I can win over them. If it is not possible, I will consider using force to solve the problem.

The God of War's answer gave me mixed feelings. He said: "In terms of intelligence level, it is impossible for shadow creatures to be without language. But since most of them act alone, there is no communication between individuals at all. Even if they appear in groups, They also remained silent among themselves. If their method of communication was not expressed through sounds, it was because they had no language at all, or were too lazy to speak."

"The possibility of not having language can be roughly ignored." Rose said: "They have intelligence and social structure, so it is impossible for them to be without language. The only possibility is that they do not use voices to communicate. Ghosts can rely on their souls Communicate, these guys might have similar functions.”

"You mean telepathy?" Military God said: "This is very possible, but there is no way to confirm it yet. In addition, if you really want to communicate with them, it is best to hope that they are not using telepathy."

"Why?"

"Because you don't know telepathy. If they really communicate in this way, then you have no hope at all."

"Who says I can't telepathize?" I looked at the God of War and said, "I am a beast tamer, and my professional skills are accomplished by commanding my pets to fight. Without telepathy, would I have to hold a beast tamer on the battlefield? Does the trumpet command the battle?”
