Chapter 353 Ethnic Group

There are almost no buildings in the suburbs of the boss's consciousness space.

There are only large areas of sparse vegetation that seem to have been implanted not long ago.

The phase beast is wandering in the sky above the suburbs.

From a distance, it looks like an ordinary manta ray that can swim in the air, nervously observing this new world.

If it weren't for the fact that it was brought into the consciousness space with Chen Ming, it would probably have made a fuss.

The boss landed in a shuttle and occupied the vicinity.

Chen Ming walked down alone and came to the phase beast.

Although Chen Ming was a robot before, it did not prevent the phase beast from sensing the familiar breath of the person in front of him, as well as the faint power of the scarlet dimension.

The phase beast relaxed and lay in front of Chen Ming.

Chen Ming felt that the phase beast seemed to be in a bad state, even the consciousness body was tired.

But if he didn't communicate, he couldn't help the phase beast.

So he could only try to speed up.

The boss on the shuttle next to him activated his psychic power when Chen Ming came to the phase beast.

It seemed as if nerves made of psychic energy grew out of the consciousness of Chen Ming and the phase beast.

The phase beast resisted for a while, but it calmed down immediately after Chen Ming's comfort, and watched the two nerves converge quietly.

The nerves connected Chen Ming and the phase beast's consciousness together.

It allowed Chen Ming and the phase beast to directly perceive each other's thoughts.

This two-way communication of consciousness was the most suitable for the current situation in the boss's opinion.

If the phase beast had just chosen to resist, the boss would have to use a slightly more coercive method.

But it seems that it is not necessary.

Chen Ming's consciousness closed his eyes.

Feeling whether the consciousness communication constructed by the boss would be different from his consciousness communication with the queen.

I can only say.

The difference is obvious. I don't know if it is because the boss's psychic effect is not very effective on creatures, or for some other reason.

The connection between Chen Ming and the phase beast's consciousness is somewhat intermittent, and they cannot communicate smoothly.

He could only sense some fragments of thoughts, consciousness and memory from the consciousness of the phase beast, and see some not-so-coherent fragments.

Probably connected together are some experiences of the phase beast, mixed with some thoughts and emotions that the phase beast wants to share with Chen Ming.

It is relatively scattered, but Chen Ming still understands its meaning.

In simple terms, it means that the phase beast is indeed a species living in the phase space. It is not a solitary creature, but exists in a tribe.

The tribe is not too large. The tribe of the phase beast in front of Chen Ming is only a dozen.

However, no matter how small the tribe is, a special individual will still be born in each tribe.

Possessing powerful talents and powers that are different from other phase beasts, it can tear apart the phase space and the scarlet dimension and seize power from the scarlet dimension.

When this special individual is still weak, the entire tribe will do its best to raise and protect it.

And when this special individual grows up, it needs to shoulder the responsibility of feeding the entire population.

It is equivalent to the patriarch.

In other words, this phase behemoth regarded Chen Ming as a special individual of their tribe.

After all, Chen Ming does have the ability to tear open the scarlet dimension and seize power.

And because Chen Ming himself communicated with the phase behemoth through a robot, the size of the robot was the size of an ordinary person, so the phase behemoth thought that Chen Ming was still in his infancy and needed to grow and cultivate.

So the reason why the phase behemoth did those things before was explained clearly.

It just regarded Chen Ming as a little guy who was not yet an adult, so it decided to get food to feed Chen Ming and raise Chen Ming first.

That's why it felt confused when Chen Ming digested a large piece of scarlet dimension flesh and blood but his body shape did not change at all.

Then it turned around and continued to find or snatch scarlet flesh and blood for Chen Ming.

At this point in the communication of consciousness, Chen Ming suddenly couldn't hold it back.

Isn't the way the phase behemoth identifies a type a bit rough?

As long as it is a thing that can move in the phase space and can seize and digest the power of the scarlet dimension, it will be regarded as the same kind...

Just when Chen Ming was thinking this, the phase beast that was connecting with its consciousness returned a response to Chen Ming that was roughly "Isn't it so?"

This made Chen Ming even more nervous.

In short, this is probably the situation.

The phase beast wanted to feed Chen Ming, and then let Chen Ming maintain the tribe.

Although this tribe seems to be just it and Chen Ming, it means this.

As for why the phase beast was not in its own tribe, but ran out and met Chen Ming, the phase beast also responded.

The emotion accompanying it during the consciousness communication process turned into the anger that Chen Ming had felt before.

And the object of this anger.

It was the mechanical tribe.

In short, the patriarch of the original tribe of this phase beast found a suitable place to tear open the space and hunt.

Then this process was discovered by the mechanical tribe.

Chen Ming could probably guess what happened later.

But he didn't have to guess now.

Although the Phase Beast does not understand what the Mechanicals did, it can see what the Mechanicals did.

If it can see it, it means Chen Ming can see it, and if Chen Ming can see it, it means he can figure out what the mechanical race did.

The facts are similar to what he guessed before.

Everything the mechanical race did was for dimensional infection, and it was all for obtaining the power of the scarlet dimension and "destruction" in the dimensional infection.

It's just that the mechanical race is extremely hostile to humans, so dimensional infection will not occur inside the star field of the mechanical race where there are no people.

But dimensional infection is an excellent weapon against humans.

So the mechanical race obviously needs to create a dimensional infection.

But according to Chen Ming's understanding, the mechanical race does not do any experiments related to humans.

The mechanical race has only one way to deal with humans, kill them all.

So there are some conflicts in the logic of the mechanical race's actions, and they have not made any progress.

But it just so happens.

Due to the advancement of the phase behemoth, or the empire's phase ship technology, or even because Yuhui used phase technology to transport things over long distances before.

In short, the mechanical race picked up the phase technology again.

The indigenous creatures in the phase space were discovered.

So when the leader of the phase behemoth tribe tore open the rift, the mechanical tribe destroyed the hunting process and seized the food.

That is, the scarlet flesh and blood.

Prepare to bring it back to the normal universe to trigger dimensional infection.

Although Chen Ming actually only saw what the mechanical tribe did to the phase behemoth tribe through the memory of the phase behemoth, and the previous ones were all speculations, he felt that it was basically close.

Under normal circumstances, dimensional infection requires the presence of humans to trigger it, but after it occurs, it can expand as long as there are living things.

The mechanical tribe will kill all humans, but not all ordinary animals.

The follow-up is definitely that the mechanical tribe brought the scarlet flesh and blood they obtained to the normal universe, to the decadent mechanical galaxy that Chen Ming had visited before, of course, it was definitely not decadent before.

The mechanical tribe allowed the dimensional infection to expand, and finally eliminated the dimensional infection before losing control, and seized what they needed.

Destruction core.

If it was just snatching food from the tiger's mouth, then the phase behemoth should not have such a great hatred for the mechanical tribe.

It is not to say that the phase beasts roll around in the colonies of the mechanical race every day.

Obviously, in order to prevent the troublesome creatures like the phase beasts from interfering with their plans, the mechanical race did some other things besides seizing the scarlet flesh and blood.

Eventually, the tribe leader was dragged into the scarlet dimension.

That's it.

The phase beasts seem to have ways to obtain food other than the tribe leader tearing open the dimensional rift.

It is not necessary to starve to death if the mechanical race troubles them. They can escape first, cultivate a new generation of tribe leaders, and then come back for revenge.

However.

In the picture of the phase beast's memory.

A few minutes after the tribe leader was dragged into the scarlet dimension and the rift was completely closed.

A huge shadow tore open the membrane between the scarlet dimension and the phase space and returned to the phase space.

The memory of the phase beast afterwards was a mess.

The tribe leader of the phase beast tribe went in for at least a few minutes, and naturally fell into madness. It began to attack everything in sight, including the mechanical race and its kind.

The patriarch was the most powerful being in the phase behemoth group. He came out alive a few minutes after entering the scarlet dimension. Even though he was crazy, his power was real.

It naturally became a terrifying creature.

At that time, there was no source of sufficient combat power in the phase space, which eventually led to the destruction of the mechanical race's galaxy.

It also led to the fact that only the phase behemoth that Chen Ming encountered survived.

It can be said that the destruction core and destroyer of the mechanical race were bought with the lives of this phase behemoth group.

Although the galaxy was destroyed, the mechanical race still successfully conducted a dimensional infection experiment and created "destruction".

As for where the patriarch of the phase behemoth ran to later?

Chen Ming felt that it was likely that he was wandering in the mechanical race star field, interfering with the movements of the mechanical race to a certain extent.

Because when Chen Ming and Bai Quan talked about things on the battlefield before, they mentioned several unreasonable points on the old defense map of the mechanical race.

If the situation of a terrifying behemoth with phase power wandering irregularly in the mechanical race star field is taken into account, it would be reasonable.

And it just so happened that a few days ago, Chen Ming had a cruiser dismantled by a powerful phase force.

At that time, Chen Ming only saw a huge shadow.

Now he can be sure that it was done by the crazy phase beast patriarch.

And what the small phase beast did these days was to take food from the crazy patriarch.

However, Chen Ming didn't quite understand what kind of species the phase beast was? Why did it appear in the phase space? How did it evolve?

But he couldn't understand it in detail now.

Because at this time, Chen Ming and the consciousness link of the phase beast were disconnected.

The boss's voice sounded in his ears: "Its vital signs are getting worse, and the consciousness body is beginning to become unstable."

It means that the small phase beast is too seriously injured and is about to die.

The boss immediately took Chen Ming out of the consciousness space.

The phase beast lying on the ground not far away was almost lifeless at this time, with only weak firepower left.

"So what are you going to do? Use this phase beast, or..."

Chen Ming still remembered the previous times when the small phase beast took "food" for him.

Although the small phase beast made a mistake, it did not affect Chen Ming's taking away the flesh and blood that the small phase beast had taken from the clan leader.

So he said decisively: "I want to save it."

"How to save it?"

"Just like its clan leader did."

Chen Ming looked back at the boss.

The boss immediately understood what he meant.

After all, the boss must have seen and understood the communication between Chen Ming and the phase beast just now.

So what Chen Ming meant was that he was worried that the boss would be affected by the scarlet power when he activated the bloody rift.

Although the two of them are still in the phase space, it is better to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

The boss took a few steps back and said: "It's okay, just do it, I can protect myself."

Chen Ming nodded.

Put your consciousness completely on the robot in front of the phase beast.

He pressed the mechanical arm on the tentacle on the head of the phase beast, which was now drooping powerlessly.

In addition to being a tool for the phase beast to use phase power, this tentacle is also another tool for the phase beast to communicate.

When Chen Ming touched the tentacle, the tentacle trembled slightly, and then there was no follow-up.

Chen Ming knew that it was running out of time.

There was no more time to waste.

His consciousness focused on the consciousness space, and while using mental power to cover the phase beast, he opened the closed bloody crack.

The closed crack is safe and can be opened slowly.

But the moment Chen Ming took the initiative to open the crack, the crack once again released a terrifying suction force that seemed to be able to completely suck Chen Ming into it, just like in the past.

While Chen Ming resisted this force, his mental power began to be consumed violently again, and the steel jungle on the edge of the isolated island once again rusted into dark red rust.

At the moment when Chen Ming tried to use his mental power to directly seize power from the scarlet dimension.

The blue-purple light that originally existed in Chen Ming's consciousness space suddenly covered the entire space.

Protecting Chen Ming's consciousness and also protecting the consciousness space.

Preventing Chen Ming from being overly affected by the power of the scarlet dimension.

And this light also formed a one-way film on the crack, allowing Chen Ming to seize power more easily and preventing the negative effects of the scarlet dimension from affecting him.

Although this blue-purple light was rapidly fading, it was enough for Chen Ming to take out "food" from the scarlet dimension that was enough to feed the phase beast.

Just as Chen Ming began to contact the scarlet dimension again, the boss on the side was also concentrating on watching Chen Ming's actions at this time, thinking about Chen Ming's experience and feeling Chen Ming's power.

He gradually immersed himself in his own consciousness space.

Once again appeared in his city.

And in his hands, one red and one blue represented the power of the scarlet dimension and the phase space were circling.

They were very weak, but they seemed to be able to grow and grow to be comparable to Chen Ming's ability to tear open the crack.

But the boss also noticed that his consciousness had undergone some extremely subtle changes.

His consciousness seemed to look a bit like Chen Ming.

"It's been so many years since this happened..."

He sighed and extinguished the two forces in his hands.

His consciousness instantly returned to its original state, and only the objectively existing phase space remained in his consciousness space.

Such a complete space has made his ability improve for a long time without affecting his own foundation.

He just needs to continue on the road that Chen Ming reminded him to walk out, and he doesn't need to imitate Chen Ming to improve.

Two years... or three years ago, Chen Ming was still a young man who had just become a psychic.

But now he is someone who can walk on the same track with him.

The boss opened his eyes.

He saw that Chen Ming also finished what he was doing at about the same time.

The belly of the phase beast in front of him was a little bulging.

It was obviously fed by Chen Ming.

Just seeing that Chen Ming seemed to be doing something in the consciousness space, the boss did not make any move and continued to wait.

At this time, Chen Ming was relying on the last bit of power of the light left in the phase space to re-close the rift in the scarlet dimension.

A scarlet force that was stronger than before was already hovering in his consciousness space.

These forces were no longer aggressive, and as long as he was given some time, he could completely digest them.

As for the light in the phase space.

Although it was invisible at this time, as long as Chen Ming was still in the phase space, the power of this blue-purple light could gradually and slowly recover.

It could help Chen Ming solve the trouble of the bloody rift, and also help Chen Ming determine the time to enter the scarlet dimension to seize power next time.

After the rift was completely closed.

Chen Ming finally moved.

The boss next to him also asked at this time; "Is it over?"

"It's over, it succeeded."

Chen Ming's robot reached out and patted the phase beast in front of it. It had begun to regain its vitality. Relying on the large amount of scarlet power seized by Chen Ming, its injuries were recovering rapidly.

New flesh quickly grew from the wound, and the scales recovered in a blink of an eye.

Soon, it regained consciousness.

It made a friendly sound to Chen Ming, and its tentacles swirled around Chen Ming's body.

It followed Chen Ming's robot closely, not wanting to leave at all.

It seemed to regard Chen Ming as its new patriarch.

So is there something wrong with the Phase Beast's cognition?

But this is not a bad thing for Chen Ming.

It's not like he hasn't raised a pet before, it's just that the current one is a little bigger.

And it just so happens that Chen Ming has a lot of projects related to phase space to participate in.

Although his understanding of phase space is not deep enough at present, his prosthesis and robots have been researching technology in this area.

Sooner or later, he will be involved in the forefront of those projects of the Ship Research Institute.

And the Phase Beast can help him a lot in these aspects.

Even now, Chen Ming can let the Phase Beast go to the Ship Research Institute to help in his name.

There will be no problem with him watching the whole process.

Even everyone in the Ship Research Institute had to worship the Phase Beast and Chen Ming together.

But there was no rush now.

Chen Ming's initial contact with the Phase Beast was to be able to communicate with such a species that had conflicts with the Mechanical Clan, to see if there was any win-win way, such as trouble the Mechanical Clan together.

Although now he finally knew that this was just a conflict between the Phase Beast Clan and the Mechanical Clan.

And only two of the Phase Beast Clan survived, one was too weak and could only disgust the Mechanical Clan at most, and the other had fallen into madness.

But this does not mean that Chen Ming cannot use the Phase Beast and cannot cause losses to the Mechanical Clan.

That crazy chief still has its value.

So Chen Ming had to thoroughly understand the situation of the Phase Beast Clan to decide what to do next.

There was also a way, neural connection.

No need to bother the boss this time.

Chen Ming once again took out the thick nerves that the Queen of Insects had made before.

After Chen Ming personally fed the Phase Beast, it no longer resisted Chen Ming as before.

Silently accept Chen Ming inserting this nerve into the gap of its scales, and connecting it to its own nerves through proliferation.

And Chen Ming also directly connected with this nerve through mental power, building a more stable consciousness communication channel.

Then, he learned what kind of existence the phase behemoth tribe is.

Phase behemoths are life in the phase space.

They chase the gap leading to the scarlet dimension that may appear at any time in the phase space, rely on the phase power they have mastered to repair the gap, and obtain food from the gap

Special individuals who are strong enough, that is, the clan leader, can tear the gap at any time.

The relationship between them and the phase space is like the symbiotic bacteria in the human body.

They maintain the safety of the phase space.

Or there is another possibility.

Because the phase space is a special dimension, this dimension seems to have self-awareness in Chen Ming's view.

And this dimension and the scarlet dimension have a closer but resolutely isolated connection than the normal universe.

Therefore, the extremely aggressive scarlet dimension will break through the partition between dimensions from time to time and invade the phase space.

The consciousness of the dimension itself cannot handle everything personally.

So they took the initiative to breed the existence of the phase beast.

Of course, this is just Chen Ming's guess.

The most important thing he learned from the phase beast is that the phase beast is a creature that exists to pursue the power of the scarlet dimension.

And the patriarch of their tribe is crazy because of the scarlet power.

So.

Just some guidance from the scarlet power.

The patriarch should follow Chen Ming's idea and go to some places.
