  Chapter 73 Alien Fish

  After eating this unusually huge shark, You Huan obtained 6 evolution points.

  ——Ordinary animals don't provide so many evolutionary points, so this shark must be abnormal in some way.

  He smelled the sea water, which was filled with the smell of blood.

  The blood from the shark actually gave him an instinctive sense of familiarity.

  This means that this shark is influenced by monsters, or in other words, by the pioneer world!

  He had a guess in his mind.

  Next he prepared to confirm his guess.

  Fluorescent blue "strange flowers" bloomed in the dark sea water, illuminating a small area.

  It also illuminated the face of a monster.

  The long blue tongue stretched out tentacles in the sea water, catching some signal fluctuations floating with the water.

  At the same time, You Huan also discovered the function of the horns on his head.

  The two small recessed holes in front of the horn can emit light, illuminating the dim sea water like a searchlight...

  ...Of course, in addition to the flashlight function, which is better than nothing, this pair of horns also has an important perception function -

  Electrical sensing.

  This sensor can detect changes in the electric field of the surrounding environment and can also capture electrical signals generated by biological movement or other activities.

  Animals such as sharks and platypuses have similar senses, and by capturing electrical signals, they can accurately locate prey.

  You Huan's electrical perception range is much larger than that of ordinary animals, covering an area of ​​one hundred meters in radius.

  Coupled with his ability to explore the nerves - or the thinking activities of life.

  He soon found deeper in the ocean, with more and bigger fish!

  Those deep-sea fish that were originally small in size all grew to be over five meters in length here, and some fish even grew thick armor on their bodies.

  "Crack!"

  A big fish sensed You Huan's approach, and its mouth split into several parts, suddenly biting towards his forelimbs.

  With a "pop" sound, You Huan casually slapped it aside.

  A long tail whistled and waved behind him, grabbing the fish by the tail with three sharp claws from top to bottom.

  He watched the fish, which was still struggling.

  It looked completely different from its original species. It had armor and spikes on its body. More importantly, -

  Its mouth is a bright blue color.

  It is extremely similar to the color of You Huan's tongue and the blood vessels in his body.

  His guess was basically confirmed - these fish were all animals that mutated after the Blue Planet environment was polluted by monsters.

  They already have some characteristics similar to the monsters created by the pioneers.

  In a few generations, these guys could be called "alien fish."

  This is exactly what the pioneer civilization planned.

  Not only can the monsters weaken the strength of the native creatures on this planet, but their existence itself can slowly transform the environment of the blue planet.

  When the environment is right and the timing is right, it is time for the pioneers to colonize in person.

  You Huan scratched his chin with his front paw.

  He is not interested in transforming or colonizing the Blue Planet.

  I am very curious about the pioneer civilization.

  Judging from the quick glimpse before leaving the Pioneer Mother Planet, there should be quite a few advanced evolution points and strengthening points there.

  And that strange wave that only he could sense...

  As he was lost in thought, he seemed to see himself floating motionless in the water, and in the darkness, another large fish appeared.

  The fish was probably based on some kind of marine mammal, but it is no longer recognizable.

  The thick gray armor on its back and the fins covered with spikes make it look a bit like a monster created by the pioneers.

  It swam rapidly, and its long body kept emerging from the thick darkness.

  Until its nearly thirty-meter-long body was fully revealed, its slender giant mouth was about to bite You Huan!  

  However, this unprecedented monster, which it regarded as its prey, simply raised its head calmly.

  The two brains in the body of the rat, one responsible for perception and analysis, and the other for action and movement, work perfectly together at this moment.

  His reaction and movement speed instantly surpassed the big fish in front of him.

  The throat behind the lower jaw suddenly glowed with a bright blue light, instantly illuminating the dark sea water like a strange alien world.

  He opened his mouth and a stream of blue acid gushed out like a breath, pouring onto the big fish that was rushing towards him!

  But in an instant, the armor and scales on the big fish's head all melted away, and the head caved in.

  At the same time, its forward speed slowed down until it stopped completely.

  At this time, its head had completely disappeared in the acid corrosion!

  Only the headless fish corpse was left lying quietly in the water.

  Some of the splashed acid maintained the shape of water droplets, slowly rising and falling in the sea water.

  In the dark sea, these dots of blue light look quite beautiful.

  The reflection of this place where so many strange fishes gathered made it look like a fairyland for a moment.

  However, beauty often hides deep dangers.

  The surrounding large fish that had been mutated by alien influence immediately scattered when they saw the tragic end of their companions.

  But You Huan was not going to let them go. With a powerful shake of his tail, he chased after a fish.

  These are all valuable evolution points...

  Half an hour later, he was floating leisurely in the sea water in a backstroke position, checking the evolution points on the panel:

  [Evolution Points: 30]

  Add evolution points to the level.

  [Level: Lv.3 → Lv.4 (9/80)]

  Strength and vitality once again emerged from every part of its limbs and bones. The tail-standing rat, which was still in a period of rapid growth, grew a lot larger.

  At this time, an unexpected prompt appeared:

  [Stage: Childhood → Adolescence]

  You Huan was a little surprised at first. He was less than an hour old and he had already left his childhood?

  If you think about it carefully, it is normal. As a man-made monster weapon, the growth of monsters (Kaiju) must be extremely rapid.

  This is true even for second-generation monsters born naturally.

  Why did the pioneers allow monsters to give birth to offspring? This is also a point worth exploring.

  When entering adolescence, every part of the rat's body has fully matured, and it looks like a smaller version of an adult rat.

  All talents are fully developed, which also means that You Huan is ready to play big.

  Through the collective consciousness, he sent some information to the three-headed monster that was moving towards the human city of H:

  [Abnormal conditions were found on the seabed.]

  [Traces of foreign interference were found.]

  [There may be opportunities for combat, it is recommended to dispatch individuals to assist. ]

  [Traces of "Hunter Mech" activity detected. ]

  The last sentence was not false. He had just detected through electrical perception that a signal suspected to be from a mecha was flying past very far above him, causing an instantaneous change in the electric field.

  But considering the background of the movie, it should just be an old mecha that could not be used and had no driver and was transported away.

  It can be said that everything he said in the collective consciousness was true.

  The monsters have been specially designed to have a high level of intelligence in combat and know how to cooperate, but their intelligence in other aspects is very low.

  The Pioneers only need them to fight as vanguard soldiers.

  Soon, one of the three monsters responded: "I will assist you. The other two, continue forward and deal with the multiple mechas that will appear with a high probability."

  very good...

  You Huan swam around and came to a place where no living creatures would disturb him, a rocky area.

  He used a rock to sharpen his claws, and deep dents were immediately cut into the rock.

  He bent down slightly, waiting patiently for the arrival of his prey.
