Chapter 134 A Friend's Promise

 While flying towards the royal city, You Huan noticed that the small umbrella on his nose was a little strange.

  Fortunately, compared to his body size, the umbrella was too tiny and no one noticed it.

  Otherwise, his majesty in front of humans, monsters and even pioneers would probably be slightly compromised.

  Although Xiao Pu had just absorbed the cluster life created by the pioneer, the scale had increased dramatically.

  But now the growth trend has stopped again.

  Even the furry umbrella on his nose no longer swayed happily from side to side.

  It's a bit like... a crash?

  He called Xiao Pu in the spiritual level: "Xiao Pu? Are you okay?"

  "…"

  Xiao Pu didn't reply.

  He was a little concerned, but didn't bother too much.

  In his opinion, Xiao Pu should not be in any danger.

  At this time, the royal city was already in sight.

  With his wings folded, he swooped down rapidly and landed on the fallen royal city.

  This gigantic semi-living creature seemed to have lost its vitality.

  It was motionless, and even a large number of black creatures collapsed beside it.

  These are the biological shells that have the ability to seriously injure You Huan, but now they are like dead.

  He stretched out his tail claw, lifted up the wound on Wang Cheng's belly that was cut by his own acid knife, and took a look.

  The royal city was in a mess.

  A large amount of white fluff takes root here, sucking away many of the nutrients inside it.

  The red roundworms were gnawing at the corpse of the pioneer lying on the ground.

  The corrosion marks left by his acid are still clearly visible, and even hair cannot grow in these areas.

  The entire royal city was completely destroyed by him and Xiao Pu.

  He used his neural detection to sense the air inside the royal city.

  Ordinary and envoy pioneers were dead, but most of the pioneers at the level of bishops and archbishops had fled.

  These high-class pioneers will be the next targets in the war.

  Especially... the Pope's Heralds!

  These mysterious guys have never appeared.

  Are they so busy with their own mysterious plans that they have forgotten even their own civilization, or are they planning a big move that could decide the outcome of the game?

  While he was thinking in his mind, he did not stop his hands.

  An arc of electricity flew out from the tail claw, cutting off a piece of the "meat" of the royal city and placing it in front of his eyes for careful examination.

  Sure enough, he felt the aura of strengthening points from it.

  In other words, he could sense that the royal city was highly alienated under the cultivation of the pioneers.

  This royal city was formed from a certain kind of life, and it became what it is today after continuous regulation by its pioneers.

  It is a product of pioneering biotechnology, with no subjective thoughts, only biological instincts.

  All abilities focus on defense, size, comfort, and providing space for other biological weapons to be used.

  Obviously, no matter how much defense it has, it cannot defend against You Huan's acid.

  Its external counterattack capabilities are provided by other biological weapons "installed" in its body.

  Therefore, the enhancement points it can provide are not many.

  This was not quite what You Huan expected, and he was a little disappointed.

  But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

  Not to mention strengthening this good thing.

  But... such a big Snickers is not a royal city.

  Without Xiao Pu's help to remove impurities and compress it, he would not be able to eat it at all.

  However, Xiao Pu...

  He called it a few more times, but it still didn't respond.

  It seems that he is immersed in something and is only moving instinctively.

  In desperation, he walked into the ruined royal city and began to explore.

  As he passed an area that had been completely corroded by acid, he heard a slight noise beside him.

  He turned his head, his sharp blue eyes narrowed slightly.

  Electro-perception and neural detection allowed him to instantly penetrate some remaining houses in the corners and see several pioneers hiding inside.

  There are still survivors?

  These pioneers are huddled in a corner, closing their eyes, silently praying to the great Pope, hoping that the monster will not discover them.

  Suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing on me.

  Very slowly they opened their eyes.

  The hopeful scene was instantly shattered.

  The house that covered him disappeared without a trace.

  Instead, there was an extremely huge monster head!

  The mouth with sharp teeth was less than ten centimeters away from one of the pioneers. The pioneer's body trembled slightly, and suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

  The other pioneers were not much better.

  Facing one of the main culprits of the destruction of the royal city at such a close distance, they were all frozen in place after being disarmed by Xiao Pu.

  You Huan looked at them.

  Coincidentally, these envoy pioneers were the same ones he had seen when he broke into the royal city and looked inside.

  I don't know whether these guys are lucky or unlucky.

  Fortunately, they have managed to survive until now.

  Unfortunately they caught up with him both times.

  Faced with these pioneers who exuded pheromones representing fear and despair, he suddenly became interested.

  Mouth wide open.

  Several pioneers immediately shuddered.

  However, a long blue tongue stretched out from the mouth.

  They shuddered again.

  The long tongue split open layer by layer, revealing a pistil-like tentacle structure.

  Blow their heads.

  Surrounded by those dreamy tentacles, their expressions gradually relaxed from their initial tension, fear, and despair.

  He looked dazed.

  It's not You Huan who is controlling them.

  He was just reading their memories.

  This transformation occurred spontaneously.

  It seems that after extreme fear and despair, they did not get the expected death, but instead changed their minds.

  A kind of worship and awe for the giant beast in front of him slowly arose.

  Like low-level pioneers facing the supreme Pope, they had the urge to bow down and pay homage to the monster in front of them.

  Wow, is this the Stockholm effect?

  ​​People worship the monster that destroyed their civilization like a god.

  You Huan thought so while flipping through their memories.

  ...I see.

  This group of envoy pioneers are the liaisons within the royal city responsible for communicating with the wormhole maintenance personnel in the sky.

  Therefore, their authority is slightly higher than that of ordinary envoys, which is why they have managed to survive.

  In their memories, he also discovered the differences between the two wormholes that appeared before and after the blue star.

  The previous wormhole is a regular wormhole. At the beginning, the number of monsters that can enter and exit is limited to one, and there is a cooling time.

  As time goes by, the wormhole adapts to the environment of the blue planet and is subsequently reinforced so that it can support more monsters to pass through.

  The latter wormhole used a large number of Pioneer capsules.

  The props made by the same race seem to connect some things in the entire civilization together, greatly enhancing the effect of the wormhole.

  This is the only way to allow so many monsters to enter and exit at once.

  Retracting their tongues, the group of pioneers fell to the ground one by one as if awakened from a dream.

  A fanatical mood continued to emanate from them.

  What an interesting transformation.

  You Huan turned around and did not kill them.

  Because Xiao Pu will deal with these pioneers.

  Thinking of Xiao Pu, the umbrella on his nose suddenly moved.

  Its voice finally appeared: "I have sorted out the life information of 'my enemy'. I found something interesting."

  "What a pioneer uses to limit it is also a 'convention'."

  Does it refer to the technology that the Precursors used to limit life in that colony?

  As You Huan was guessing, he heard Xiao Pu say in a very serious tone:

  "I changed that thing. Now, it will become a 'promise' between us."

  "Are you willing to make this agreement with me?"

  [Special factors are detected and can be extracted as function cards. ]

  At the same time as the prompt came from the panel, a mysterious spiritual body was handed over by Xiao Pu.

  He took it without much hesitation.

  [Function Card: Friends' Agreement: A promise made with the special life form "Xiao Pu", stipulating that if both parties intentionally hurt each other, they will be punished by biological instinct.]

  After taking the "Promise" that had been transformed into a function card back into the panel, he felt as if something was flowing into his body.

  I felt a special sense of refreshment.

  He looked at the umbrella in front of him, and felt vaguely that there was something special between the two.

  ...Absolute trust!
