Chapter 263 The White Giant in the Valley

Xiao was very suspicious of David.

But she had no evidence that there was anything wrong with him, and she herself was surrounded by mysteries and troubles.

After bringing Xiao back to her own room, he watched her stroking the traces of her life with her boyfriend with nostalgia.

David left quietly.

When he reached a deserted place, he looked into the air, as if he was talking to himself or reporting to someone:

"Yes, we should find 'them' soon."

"Black water can theoretically increase a person's lifespan...but it—"

"…"

"yes."

The human base entered a period of peace.

As they sent out exploration teams to the east every day, the blackwater creatures also reduced the number of times they harassed them.

Fully armed humans are not easy to deal with.

A day later, You Huan woke up.

However, he discovered that his genetic completion was not yet complete.

When there are too few genetic samples, the completion speed is very slow.

So he set off towards the east, ready to look for some rare black water life.

One day not long after, he happened to meet a human exploration team.

Humans have enabled mecha-like deformable armor that can travel like ordinary vehicles on flat ground, but will deform to a certain extent when crossing rough terrain.

You Huan looked at these cars that looked like they had eight legs and were crossing the mountains that stretched across the east, and thought that these humans were actually very skilled in both technology and martial arts.

As long as they are given some time, the black water creatures lurking near the abandoned spacecraft will not be their match.

But they posed little threat to him.

Unlike the white giant black water creature, he has greater agility and reaction speed, and has a unique ability called [Skill].

These humans couldn't catch his sight at all.

And after one day of gene completion, he had some new changes...

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out in the human convoy.

The machine gun mounted on the vehicle fired bullets, shooting down a dark shadow that flashed by in front.

Then several large drones flew over and observed the lives that were shot.

"It's that black water monster again..."

"Monsters in different regions have different appearances and characteristics. Maybe they are just ordinary local creatures as the biologist said."

"Bullshit! We have seen so many normal creatures along the way. Normal animals are almost the same as those on Earth. These monsters are obviously not normal!"

People in the convoy were talking.

On the other side, You Huan moved away from the convoy, rushed forward, and pinned a gray-white creature to the ground.

"Hiss...Chi!" The creature being held down made a strange sound.

It looks like a skinny insect, with a long skull that has a fork that forms two horns.

This was exactly the same kind of black water creature with a very hard exoskeleton that he had captured before.

This was the second one he had caught since entering the mountain.

It seems that this type of black water life should be a native monster of this area.

There are many blackwater creatures in the mountains, all of which are new species that rarely or never appear in the jungle.

This may be related to the fact that the native animals in the mountains are different from those in the jungle.

On the other hand... he suspected that at least some of the black water life was specially cultivated.

This would also explain why blackwater life is so ubiquitous.

Who on this planet could cultivate black water life on such a large scale? The answer is obviously the white giants - the engineers of life.

By eating this gray-white black water creature, he gained 19 evolution points. With the 20 points given by the first one caught in the mountains, his level reached [Lv.5 (138/160)].

By eating multiple creatures of the same species, his gene completion speed was also improved.

On his translucent black exoskeleton, some unique lines are appearing, and all the bone cells are constantly being renewed.

The changes in this regard are not over yet.

But the other side of the completion had already ended, that is, the ability supplement he got from the slug-shaped monster.

As soon as he thought of it, his whole body instantly dimmed.

It is as if it was originally a shiny black porcelain sculpture, but now, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, it has become covered in dust and dull in the antique shop.

The gray figure suddenly blended into the surrounding mountains and forests, without any sense of existence.

The exoskeleton is a very important feature for black water life like him, and any genetic changes cannot change the basic characteristics of the exoskeleton.

Therefore, the invisibility effect brought by the slug-shaped monster's soft skin is less effective on him.

But it suits him just fine.

Just like that, they arrived quietly near the human convoy.

At the same time, another ability of the slug monster came into play.

His exoskeleton instantly concealed all the fluctuations emitted by the physiological activities in his body.

Infrared and other reconnaissance equipment cannot scan him.

He approached the human convoy silently, and no one noticed his approach.

Right now, the team is facing a strange situation.

"Hiss, hiss…"

Several black water creatures that were shot by machine guns fell to the ground, letting their acidic blood continue to flow, and instead made regular calls to the drones in the sky.

As if telling something.

As people were discussing this strange situation, a small black water creature suddenly appeared on the tree.

"Hiss..." It barked at the convoy, then turned and ran into the depths of the mountains.

Seems to be leading them.

After a brief discussion, the team followed its pace.

You Huan followed behind the convoy.

He saw Xiao was also in the exploration team, in addition to a young woman with short hair.

Isn't that Daniels, the heroine in "Alien: Covenant"?

Surprisingly, all the heroines from both Alien prequels are here, and they all appear to be about the same age as when their respective movies took place.

It seems that not only is the plot gone in this world, but all races have been strengthened and time has become messed up.

I wonder where Ripley, the heroine of the first few Alien movies, is now? Will he have a chance to meet her later?

He won't look down on them just because they don't look strong.

The characteristic of the Alien series is the war-like female protagonists, each of them is a particularly brave character.

Now is not the time to think about that.

The human caravan has followed the guidance of the black water creature and entered a circular valley.

When the black water creatures living here saw the arrival of strange things, they all opened their mouths, popped out structures similar to molars, and made a hissing sound.

A valley full of black water creatures, and at first glance they are not the most common or easiest to bully kind, they are all ruthless.

This scene immediately made everyone present feel terrified.

The black water creature that was leading the way stopped at the entrance of the valley and then stepped aside.

"Da, da…"

The sound of leather boots hitting the ground came from deep in the valley.

A tall figure slowly walked out of the valley and appeared in front of everyone.

He was over two meters tall, wearing a black robe made of linen-like material, with a hood that simply covered his head.

There is an additional tan cape on the shoulders, and a simple brown outfit underneath, revealing her sleek legs.

Pale, hairless face, with an unusually high nose and slightly protruding chest.

Not only did it not make people feel like they were looking at a monster, but it actually gave people a sense of beauty.

This is a female white giant.

She walked slowly to the entrance of the valley and looked through the car window at everyone in the first car.

He tilted his head slightly, as if expressing some doubt.

Then she silently stretched out an arm, opened it into the valley, turned sideways, and invited everyone to enter the valley.

The people in the car looked at each other.

This seems like a polite and intelligent alien.

Perhaps... this is the "human creator" that Xiao and others have been talking about?

But no matter what, this is an intelligent life, a civilized race that is similar to them but different.

Faced with an alien, they hesitated for a moment.

The female white giant did not show any impatience and maintained an inviting gesture.

Finally, the car started slowly and drove into the valley.

You Huan did not follow, but stood on a high place outside the valley.

The female white giant seemed to have noticed something. She looked up and around, and the black water life in the valley was also slightly restless.

But she couldn't find the source of the restlessness.
