Chapter 246 Appearance and Ability
You Huan looked at his own appearance.
After absorbing the genes of many species, he still retained alien-like characteristics.
The whole body is covered with a black exoskeleton, with raised joints extending from the back to the tail, and an undulating structure similar to ribs, bringing an eerie beauty that is absolutely different from ordinary life.
The head is the same as the alien, with an elongated skull and no eyes.
Wrapped in the long skull are a large number of facial muscles and the brain.
The shape of his skull is not a simple oval or triangle, but gradually forms several pairs of connected and symmetrical horns as it spreads towards the back of the head.
Forming a fan composed of extremely huge horns.
This is the "dragon horn" of a dragon-shaped alien.
The mouth at the front of the head is slightly longer than that of ordinary aliens, and both the inner and outer layers of the mouth have a shape similar to a dragon's mouth, but it is not obvious.
He took a few steps in the black water.
Most of the aliens that appear in movies are born from facehuggers that parasitize humans, so they are good at walking upright.
But this body is clearly better suited for walking on all fours.
The front paws are slender and flexible, while the hind paws are similar to those of cats, which are more solid and can grip the ground firmly.
Corresponding to the [Sickle-Shaped Bone Armor] in the panel talent is the rather eye-catching dragon wing structure on his back.
With a "swish" sound, he suddenly spread his wings.
The main wing shape is the narrow and long wing shape of the tail-standing mouse.
Two pairs of wings, one large and one small, plus a pair of small wings at the junction of the tail and the body.
The three-wing structure is similar to the light evil.
The wings are covered with a sharp and thin exoskeleton, like several huge and sharp black sickles, which still emit a terrifying cold light even in the dim environment.
The sickle wings swung suddenly to the side.
An arc of cold light flashed.
A 20-centimeter-deep scratch was left on the wall!
When the "dragon wings" were completely folded and attached to the side of the body, they became part of the body's exoskeleton and were almost unnoticeable.
This sickle-shaped bone armor, which can be swung as flexibly as an arm, has first-class attack and defense capabilities, regardless of whether it has the ability to fly.
Although he still has several talents and parts of his body that he has not fully explored.
But he didn't have time to study it slowly.
The electrical perception from the tail-standing rat allowed him to sense that outside this room full of black water, there were several biological signals approaching quickly from different directions.
There were more black water creatures in this place than the three he had killed!
As if they had smelled the blood, they were gathering towards him quickly.
He bent down slightly, then suddenly rushed out quickly.
The alien's body, wrapped in an exoskeleton and looking thin but not weak, looks like a cheetah at this moment.
Rushed out of the room silently, quickly and nimbly.
What they collided head-on were two black water creatures.
It was almost identical to the three he had encountered before, with a long body, eight pairs of limbs and a three-petal mouth.
It should be the product of the combination of black water and some kind of insects here.
There is no alien inner mouth structure yet, only one layer of mouth.
Without hesitation, You Huan jumped high into the air as he approached them.
Although this body was just born, it already contains unparalleled power.
I saw a black shadow flash, and the heads of the two black water creatures were smashed and fell to the ground.
You Huan swept their bodies aside with a sweep of his tail, then looked around.
Outside the room filled with black water is an HR Giger-style passage. The walls on all sides are covered with biological exoskeletons, with ups and downs like a living thing.
This place... should be the spaceship of the alien race "Engineers" that appeared in Prometheus?
Without time to think more, he raised his tail and lifted up the corpse of a black water creature.
His tail is similar to that of a normal alien, being about the same length as the body and composed of closely arranged joints, but with a slightly curved hook at the end.
This feature is obviously inherited from the Ghostclaw dragon in the world of How to Train Your Dragon. The tail of this dragon can be directly referenced from the scorpion.
It is also the talent [Poison Hook] on the panel.
In addition, there are three sharp claws around the poison hook that can open and close, which are obviously inherited from the claws of the tail-standing rat.
These three claws can help him effectively fix his prey and inject poison.
Before he had the chance to try whether the black water life could provide evolutionary points, his poisonous tail came in handy.
A rustling sound was heard, and at the fork in the road in front of the passage, four black water creatures moved their eight pairs of limbs and crawled over quickly!
There was a flash of cold light in the air, and You Huan's slender and sharp tail was already across in front of him.
The poison hook turned into a spear and pierced the three black water creatures one by one.
The sharp edge of the poison hook continued to move forward, and finally stopped just in front of the last black water creature.
There is no more length to penetrate.
But the poisonous hook still cut the last black water life.
A unique alien poison formed by the toxin genes of king cobra venom, rat-tailed rat venom, ghost claw toxin, wind thorn dragon toxin, etc., integrated by black water, is injected into its body.
"Swish——"
When You Huan pulled his tail out of the bodies of the three monsters that were pierced, the poisoned fourth black water creature also fell to the ground.
It kept hissing, and black foam came out of its mouth as if blood and flesh were dissolving. It soon died of poisoning.
Five monsters fell beside him, and the passage became quiet for a moment.
You Huan then grabbed a black water creature and tried to eat it.
[Evolution Points +3]
[Evolution Points +2]
About half of a blackwater life of this species can provide 5 evolution points.
However, his skill [Gene Completion] seemed to have no effect after eating.
Genetic completion, extracting genetic information from other life forms to complete oneself... This ability should have evolved from genetic assimilation during the Black Water Period.
Theoretically, the food swallowed will only be converted into the most basic large and small molecules by digestive juices, and it is impossible to extract genes from it.
It is not scientific to extract genes by eating.
This skill can extract genes from food and directly use these genes to complete oneself, which does have extraordinary elements.
There was no change in eating this black water life, probably because this life was inferior to itself and had no advantages that could be extracted.
After thinking for a moment, he continued eating until he got 5 more evolution points.
10 evolution points are full and you can upgrade immediately.
[Level: Lv.1→Lv.2 (0/20)]
The moment the upgrade was completed, his exoskeleton made a slight crackling sound.
Its body has grown slightly larger, the spikes on its body have become sharper, and its wings have become harder and sharper.
It seems that due to the characteristics of black water life, the changes brought about by the upgrade are quite obvious.
He shook his tail slightly, feeling the power coming from his body, but did not continue to eat these black water creatures. Instead, he walked forward silently.
On the one hand, eating is time-consuming. In addition to these five, he also sensed many biological signal sources.
On the other hand, he hopes to find prey that can make his [Gene Completion] effective.
However, before finding the ideal prey, he first discovered the clues of this place -
Walking through the long passage, stepping on the hard and undulating exoskeleton ground underfoot.
He entered a large rotunda.
On the ceiling, the rib-like protrusions formed by the exoskeleton gathered in the middle, forming a twisted pattern in the center.
Like some kind of creature with its mouth wide open and roaring.
Opposite this pattern is a huge seat-like structure on the ground.
It is composed of a thick and deep exoskeleton, and the various meridians and tubular structures bring a unique beauty.
Above the seat is a tubular object similar to a telescope or a gun barrel, also covered with protruding pipes and meridians.
This shape looked very familiar to him. This was the "space jockey" seat that appeared in "Prometheus" and "Alien 1".
In fact, this is the cockpit of a spaceship!
The Engineer, a white giant alien who is also the creator of humans in this world, sits in this position, is connected to the seat by flesh and blood, and controls the spacecraft.
The building he was in was indeed an engineer's spaceship.
But now, there is no one here.
