On the planet called "Andi" by the pioneers, the barren surface is covered with red jagged rocks, except for the royal city that represents the power and strength of the pioneers.
When You Huan left the royal city and set off again, the weather on Andi Star suddenly changed.
Large dark clouds rolled in from the horizon, blocking out all the sunlight in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the thunder, heavy rain poured down!
Not only did the rain fail to bring coolness to this scorching planet, but the raindrops falling on the Lightning instead caused a slight pain.
These droplets are corrosive.
However, the Lightning's corrosion resistance is also impressive, and it can still operate safely in storms.
Although at first glance, there are no living things on this barren planet except the pioneers.
But the detector of the Lightning can detect signals coming from living creatures from extremely distant places.
This signal is very regular.
It's as if... it's a signal sent out by some creature specifically to inform others.
Since the other party was so enthusiastic, You Huan of course had to go and take a look.
During the rainstorm, the Lightning's spider legs grew structures specifically suited for walking in wet areas, and its forward speed was even faster than before.
After walking for ten days and ten nights, the little spider arrived at the place where the signal was sent.
It is still a rocky place and looks extremely desolate.
However, the clustered stone pillars here seem to form a specific pattern, and upon closer inspection, there seems to be a sense of beauty.
With the arrival of the Lightning, the regular signal suddenly disappeared.
"…"
The scene fell into silence.
You Huan thought for a while, then activated the equipment on the Lightning and sent out a gentle sound wave.
The amplitude, frequency, and interval of the sound waves exactly replicated the signal he had received before.
A slight and short sound wave echoed in this red stone forest.
Suddenly, his eyes blurred.
The tail-standing rat far away on the blue star also trembled slightly.
[Cardinal's Dream] was activated immediately, and he turned into the world of thought.
In the concrete pure white world of thought, an invading creature revealed its shape.
A... ball of hair?
This thing looked like a bunch of dandelions gathered together in a ball shape, made up of many soft, light hairs.
On the surface of the largest dandelion hair ball, there are also some smaller hair balls attached.
Hanging from its body were thin, light red tentacles, at the other end of which were some small balls, whose use was unknown.
Compared to the weird and grand style of the Pioneer and the Pioneer Royal City, although this guy also has a strong alien style, he looks much "softer and cuter".
It won't make people feel dangerous.
You Huan thought for a moment and spoke first: "Hello? Was it you who sent the signal?"
"…"
Upon hearing this, the big dandelion ball shook its body slightly, and some white hairs floated out.
These white hairs formed a strange pattern in the air.
This huge pattern starts from the center and spreads outward in a circle, seemingly a unique text.
In other words, because in the mind, this dandelion ball's understanding of "communication" is very different from You Huan's.
Therefore, a communication method that is very different from ordinary language and words will be concretized.
Since this is a world of thought, the moment these strange patterns appeared, You Huan naturally understood their meaning:
"Where are you from?"
It seems that this big fur ball is still wary of strangers.
After thinking for a moment, he made a bold reply:
"I come from another planet, a planet that is being invaded by the 'pioneers' of this world."
He chose to be honest!
The signals he had received before were both regular and obvious, but the Pioneer seemed to have no response to them.
So either the signal bypassed the frequency band that the Pioneer could receive, or it was simply created by the Pioneer.
If it is the former, then the creature that sent the signal should not be in the same camp as the pioneer.
His exploration in the waters of the Blue Star allowed him to discover that the planet Andi, where the pioneers were located, should have originally had an ecological system where all things coexisted and possessed collective conscious life.
However, the environment of Andi Star had long been completely destroyed by the pioneers' uncontrolled exploitation.
Combining this information, he decided to take a gamble.
The life in front of you is a local life that is being persecuted by the pioneers in disguise!
Even if he loses the bet, he still has an insurance policy.
After this life connected with his consciousness, it was equivalent to connecting with the original body of the Tail-Standing Rat.
If he guessed wrong and this fur ball was in cahoots with the Pioneer, he would use his powerful mental strength to trap it.
This strong dose of medicine seemed to have completely confused Maoqiu.
It didn't speak again for a full minute.
Then, the ball of hair in the world of thought suddenly scattered!
Countless seemingly beautiful and thin umbrella-shaped white hairs are flying in the air.
It really looks very similar to a dandelion being blown away.
When You Huan left the world of thought, he saw small black holes opening up on the red stone pillars in the real world.
Many beautiful white umbrella-shaped hairs flew out from it.
On the ground, there were thin red tentacles breaking out of the soil, with curled ends, like some kind of shy plant with its head drooping.
After these small hairy umbrellas flew out, red creatures that looked like small pebbles crawled out of the holes in the stone pillars.
But in the blink of an eye, the barren desert turned into a vibrant, beautiful and colorful world.
The little spider was in such a world, stretching out one of its legs.
A small cluster of white, soft feathers flew over and gently touched his spider legs.
More fluff fluttered around him, and he felt as if he was in a light snowfall.
At the same time, a ball of fur appeared in his mind again, but this time it was much smaller and was only used to convey messages.
This life, composed of countless individuals, said:
"Invaded worlds... The Pioneers have invaded and conquered many worlds to make up for the gradually depleting resources after they exhausted Andy's energy."
"When they run out of energy on a new world, they'll find a new one."
"…"
You Huan silently looked at this world made up of red and white, and didn't even respond for a moment.
Then he asked in a very sincere tone: "Are you a native life form in this world? Your life must be hard, right?"
Maoqiu's tone was even:
"Yes. Andy was full of life, but now he is 'dying'. Many of my companions and enemies have died long ago. Only I have the best adaptability and concealment ability, so I am still alive."
"But I'm down to a millionth the size I was before."
One in a million?!
You Huan looked around this furry world.
This remote place, far away from the Pioneer King City, stretches as far as the eye can see.
At the end of the sight, there is a lot of white fluff moving.
The area of this place might be... comparable to half a city in his original world.
Magnify it a million times...
An idea came to his mind:
Maybe I have really found a treasure this time.
The little spider raised its spider legs, stepped on the barren land, and said to this strange life with a sigh:
"The pioneers wantonly destroyed the mother planet and invaded the homes of other lives. How abominable!"
These words seemed to resonate with this life. Its form in the world of thought turned slightly and then said:
"The pioneers are so abominable."
It seemed to have learned some of You Huan's expression habits through communication. After finishing speaking in a calm tone, it paused and added a few exclamations to express its excitement:
"!!!"
"So..." Seeing that things were going well, You Huan said tentatively, "Do you want to give it a try and overthrow the pioneers?"
This time it gave a quick answer: "After calculation, I found that the strength of the pioneers is far greater than mine and I cannot overthrow them."
Since it has been calculated, it means it has had this idea.
You Huan continued his efforts:
"You are not fighting alone. Just wait a little longer and an alien army will arrive here to destroy the Pioneers. You can help then."
Maoqiu said: "Really."
Then add a questioning emotion: "?"
Well, of course, it's hard to say.
Who knows whether future humans will have the strength and determination to counterattack the Pioneer World and eliminate this hidden danger that covets the Blue Planet?
Although I thought so in my heart.
In reality, Spider-Man nodded his body seriously:
"Really? How about this, you just wait and see. If the army really arrives, you can help them?"
Maoqiu said: "If there really is a force that can threaten the pioneers, I will cooperate with them."
After saying that, as if to show that he was qualified to work together, a part of the flying umbrella in the air suddenly covered the Lightning.
