Chapter 108 Xiao Pu

You Huan was startled by its sudden movement, but the Lightning did not move under his control.

  The flying hairs gradually gathered on the spider's body surface.

  Almost immediately, he felt the hull of the Lightning showing signs of softening!

  These umbrellas had no real intention of hurting him, so after touching him, they quickly flew away.

  Only one umbrella remained.

  Without him noticing, this tiny dandelion seed-like plant actually penetrated the outer shell of the Lightning and took root inside!

  The shell of the Lightning is made of the latest material developed by mankind. It has the hardness of a mecha shell and the lightness of paper. The material is dense and has the function of specifically preventing parasites and parasitic plants.

  Just like that, I was penetrated and parasitized?

  The tiny white hairs on the spider's gray-black shell trembled, as if mocking the hard world's defenselessness against itself.

  You Huan imagined the scenes of these strange lives at their most prosperous times.

  That must be a strange world covered with white fluff.

  These delicate little guys are able to soften and take root, and may seem harmless, but if you give them a chance, they can make a big difference!

  What's more, in addition to these white fur, there are also red tentacles and pebble-like creatures, two other types of life.

  I don't know what unique abilities they have.

  Similar to the situation on the Blue Star submarine grassland.

  These lives also coexist harmoniously and become a whole.

  Unlike ordinary life, this strange life seems to know how to use their spiritual power naturally.

  This is the only way to communicate with You Huan without any obstacles.

  In addition to the ability to soften, take root, cover and parasitize, this strange life gave him another surprise.

  "In order to realize their vision, the pioneers captured many of 'me' and my kind."

  "Later, they possessed that kind of 'equipment technology', using the cultivated, disconnected 'I' to symbiotically attach the equipment to them."

  The fur ball in the world of thought said so.

  It turns out that the pioneer's biological equipment technology that can coexist with the body comes from this strange life?

  You Huan asked quickly: "So, can you reconnect with that part of 'you'?"

  If it were possible, wouldn't it mean that all the pioneer equipment using symbiotic technology would be disabled as soon as this strange life thought about it?

  According to his observations with the help of the monster consciousness network, the concept of symbiotic biological equipment has penetrated into the pioneer civilization, and this kind of equipment is used everywhere, whether in military or civilian life.

  If this part of control is taken away, wouldn't the Pioneer become a tiger with its claws plucked?

  The ball of hair in the thinking world trembled when it heard this, as if it sensed that You Huan really wanted to be a pioneer, and looked a little happy.

  It said: "The Pioneers must have created another 'me', or rather, my enemy, to control their technology, so I can no longer control those 'me's."

  "But if I can get in touch with my enemies, maybe I can do it."

  As a life form completely different from You Huan's, some of its thoughts are difficult to understand.

  But he still understood that in order to ensure the normal operation of technology, the pioneers specially created a strange life similar to this guy, that is, a control center.

  If you can get in touch with this life, you may be able to take away control.

  But it is obvious that if there is only this life, it cannot break into the place where the control center is placed with its power.

  This is something that the pioneers cannot do.

  He had another question: "You seem to know a lot about pioneers."

  The fur ball in the mind world imitated the previous actions of the Lightning, swaying up and down and saying:

  "Although I can't control it, I can vaguely sense the situation of the enemy created by the Pioneer, so I know some information about the Pioneer."

  "Earlier, there were some ordinary pioneers who explored here. They would accidentally bring some of me back with them, so a small number of me took root on the edge of the pioneer nest and was able to pick up a small amount of information."

  The more he listened, the more You Huan felt that he had found a great treasure.

  He has special abilities and has the potential to seize control of Pioneer equipment. He also knows the internal conditions of many Pioneer civilizations.

  Most of all, it hates pioneers.

  What a perfect ally!

  Even if humans cannot organize a counterattack in the end.

  No matter what he wants to do in the pioneer world, it will surely be much easier to have such an ally.

  Of course, the premise is that he has a very friendly relationship with it.

  So, he naturally said: "Well, let's make this alliance first. When the army arrives, you will help us deal with the pioneers."

  "'Covenant'..." The strange life chewed on the word and then repeated it.  

  "Covenant!" Now it can basically express "emotions" proficiently.

  "This is the agreement between us!"

  The ball of fur in the world of thought spun around, and in reality, the white fur in the sky and the red tentacles on the ground also began to sway.

  It seemed to be simply happy that it had reached a new thing called "covenant" with another life.

  You Huan looked at it and suddenly asked, "Do you have a name?"

  "'Name'?" it asked. "What's a name?"

  He said: "A name is a symbol of life. Calling your name is equivalent to calling your whole self."

  A lot of umbrella-like hair spread out from the fur ball, and it looked very excited: "Name, good stuff, I want a name."

  Then it realized it had forgotten to express an "emotion" and added another one: "!"

  He began to use his power of deception: "Only a close friend of a life has the right to name it. Am I your close friend?"

  The fur ball thought for a moment and said, "We have a 'covenant'. You will help me and I will help you, so, yes!"

  Now it was You Huan's turn to think. He looked at the white fluff that seemed to be the only source of life in the red and desolate world, and suddenly said:

  "How about calling you 'Xiao Pu'?"

  The main body of this strange life really looks like a dandelion seed.

  In the world of thinking, Maoqiu suddenly understood the specific meanings of "small" and "Pu".

  Although it is a name with a simple meaning, after it understood the meaning of "dandelion", it seemed to like it very much.

  "good!"

  Xiao Pu was very happy to get the name. In reality, more white umbrellas flew out from the holes in the stone pillars, fluttering like a heavy snow.

  The little red, pebble-like creatures crawled about on the soft, downy ground.

  They actually combined into a pattern, depicting You Huan as the Lightning in the form of lines.

  However, in order to prevent the pioneers from noticing what was happening here, it quickly wiped out everything.

  Most of the entities that made it up also retreated back into the stone pillars and underground.

  You Huan is very optimistic about Xiao Pu's potential.

  If the plan goes well, this wonderful guy will be the main force to help him get evolution points and strengthening points from the pioneers!

  In fact, if he fights with Xiao Pu, he should be able to get a boost in mental strength like last time.

  But such an ally who is likely to play a big role in the future is much more important than the immediate benefits.

  Lightning chatted with Xiao Pu for a while in the red stone forest.

  This strange creature probably has never come into contact with lives with complex thoughts like his, and his personality is extremely simple.

  After only meeting for a few minutes, it already regarded You Huan as its first friend.

  The concept of "friend", which is different from "peers" and "companions", was also taught to it by You Huan.

  When facing his friends, Xiao Pu answered every question without any guard.

  When asked why it emitted regular signals, it said that the signal was emitted deliberately to call other life forms still alive on Andi Star.

  This signal can bypass all Pioneer detection through special means.

  I asked some questions and strengthened my relationship with this new ally.

  You Huan took control of the Lightning and set off again.

  But this time, there was a tuft of swaying umbrella-shaped white hair on Lightning's spider-like body.

  With a part of Xiao Pu, he continued his journey to explore this desolate planet.

  Weakening his control over the Lightning, his focus returned to the Blue Planet.

  After exploring the areas where those monsters were born from pollution, he no longer had a very clear goal.

  During his casual travels, he came to a special place.

  　Explanation: In the setting of this article, the location of the Pioneer wormhole is not in the Challenger Deep, but in a shallower place. After all, judging from the performance in the movie, it is ridiculous to say that it is in that super deep trench. The picture in the movie is very shallow at first glance.
