Chapter 2393: Daddy is Coming!


Li Yao observed carefully for a long time and found that although the "metal snail" was hunted most of the time, it was not completely powerless to fight back.

When the "metal snails" gather to a certain order of magnitude while fleeing in a panic, and after breaking through the critical point, they will turn around and launch a counterattack against the "metal starfish".

The "metal snails" were originally small silver-colored insects, but now they have turned into dark black, and their bodies have become slender and longer, as if they have entered a "combat state", like hard nails.

Countless "metal snails" launched themselves like bullets at the "metal starfish", poking holes in the hunters who were chasing them.

The body of the "metal starfish" is composed of liquid metal, and it naturally has the ability to repair itself.

When the number of "metal snails" is not enough, the wounds that were penetrated will heal in just a few seconds.

On the contrary, The "metal snail" will be embedded in its body and be easily swallowed by it.

From this point of view, the "metal snail" seems to have thrown itself into the tiger's mouth and sought death.

Even if a "metal snail" directly penetrates the body of the "metal starfish", it seems to have exhausted all its vitality and slowly sank into the depths of the magma.

However, when countless "metal snails" bravely attack the "metal starfish" without fear of death, the self-repair limit of liquid metal will be greatly exceeded.

The torn wounds can no longer heal, and the tentacles break one after another.

"Metal The mutilated corpse of "Starfish" slowly sank to the bottom of the magma lake, along with countless fragments of "metal snails".

What a tragic "suicide attack"!

The huge magma lake was divided into different colorful areas.

As far as Li Yao could see, there were hundreds of "metal starfish" and tens of thousands of "metal snails" chasing and fighting each other.

The fights were like a A small war, or a constant game of two survival strategies.

Li Yao was simply fascinated.

He found that the relatively weak "metal snail" seemed to have two survival logics.

First of all, if survival is their first instinct, they naturally want to preserve themselves as much as possible.

Then when the "metal starfish" pounces on hunting, they will often give priority to breaking up and fleeing in all directions.

However, their average speed is always slightly slower than that of the "metal starfish", which means that the result of a sudden dispersion is that all the "metal snails" will be overtaken and swallowed up.

If you want to survive for a long time, it seems that you must restrain the instinct of escape.

Instead, hundreds of "metal snails" must gather together, and all "people" must not be afraid of sacrifice, and rush forward to rush forward and die together with the "metal starfish".

Improve the survival probability of the entire group.

For "Metal Starfish", there are also two survival logics.

Li Yao guessed that in this cruel and weird "ecosystem", "metal snails" were relatively low-level "species" and they fed directly on the light and heat energy of magma.

"Metal starfish" are a relatively advanced "species", located at the top of the "food chain" and feed on "metal snails".

Then, in order to survive and develop, "metal starfish" must devour "metal snails" continuously and endlessly.

Hunting is the only mission and meaning of their lives.

However, if this kind of devouring reaches the limit, forcing the "metal snail" to be desperate and jump over the wall, and if you fight it desperately, it will also have a considerable chance of death.

Therefore, the "metal starfish" must carefully control the hunting rhythm.

On the one hand, it cannot push the "metal snails" too tightly.

On the other hand, it must always pay attention to the phenomenon of the "metal snails" clumping together.

Once the number of prey reaches a critical level, it will be their turn.

It fled.

In such a delicate situation, it must also make careful calculations to devour the lone prey that can be devoured as much as possible.

The result of these two simple rules colliding with each other is ever-changing survival strategies and hunting scenes.

Li Yao observed the hunting of hundreds of "metal starfish" at the same time, but he didn't find any that were the same.

"It's incredible!"

Although they were low-level psychic puppets with a very simple structure, Li Yao felt a kind of flavor in them... that could not be described in words, and that he did not feel in the high-level combat puppets.

These little metal creatures don't seem to be controlled by a certain master computer, but they seem to be living and fighting spontaneously and automatically under the guidance of simple survival logic!

Li Yao smelled the smell of prehistoric times in this magma lake deep underground.

Explore all the way along the lake, pass through the steaming heat, and soon reach the other end of the magma lake.

The temperature here is obviously lower than that at the other end, the magma is orange-red, and there is a mess of metal wires tangled together beside the lake.

Countless metal wires extend into the magma lake at one end, and grow wildly with teeth and claws at the other end.

"Are these... plants?"

Somehow, Li Yao had such a ridiculous idea.

Of course, these metal wires are not real plants, but they possess certain characteristics of plants.

Their "root systems" are deeply inserted into the magma lake, sucking the light and heat energy of the magma, and the other end continuously releases weak fluctuations.

Li Yao estimates that these insignificant ripples can drive some ultra-thin ultra-microchips.

In other words, this is a wireless power supply system.

The metal mass swallows the light and heat of the magma and releases weak energy waves to drive nearby ultra-microchips, just like plants performing photosynthesis and releasing oxygen for animals to breathe.

"This is simply a primitive forest in the form of metal!"

Li Yao was surprised and amazed at the same time.

He looked across the "metal forest" towards the shore where the temperature was even cooler.

He was really surprised.

He saw a...

"city".

Although the word "city" is very inappropriate to describe it, he really didn't know how to describe the buildings in front of him, large and small, like steamed buns.

The largest diameter and height of these "steamed buns" are about half a meter, while the smaller ones are only about the size of a fist.

All the steamed buns are densely covered with holes, like an upside-down honeycomb.

Countless ant-sized psychic puppets were moving in and out of the holes, and moving along the "road" planned between the buns.

Occasionally, there are some slightly larger psychic puppets with the ability to fly, but they buzz between several larger "mantou buns".

The entire building complex is well-proportioned, orderly and full of vitality.

If you ignore the shapes of steamed buns and psychic puppets, this is a busy town!

Li Yao noticed that some small psychic puppets were still shuttled between the "city" and the "forest", dragging some capsule-like things under the messy metal wires, and inserted the capsules into the end of the metal wires.

Soon, the originally gray-white capsules shone like strange fireflies.

The psychic puppets transported these shining capsules back to their "city".

So, the power of wireless power supply is not enough, do we have to use this method to collect energy, just like humans go to the forest to chop wood to get sufficient heat energy?

If the magma lake is regarded as the ocean in ancient times, the scenes in front of you are completely the prototype of the "ancestors" fighting against the sky and the earth to develop civilization!

Li Yao didn't know whether he should be "awe-struck" or "horrified."

The entire underground space seemed to be in the shape of a gourd.

At the end of the magma lake was a long and narrow crack, which happened to be the waist of the gourd.

Li Yao heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from the other side of the crack.

This laughter sounds familiar, making people love and hate it.

Li Yao pondered for a moment and then squeezed through the crack generously.

Sure enough, there is something else on the other side of the gap.

It is a small underground space.

The temperature is much lower than that of the magma lake.

The surrounding cave walls are inlaid with faint blue ores, exuding a hint of coolness, which makes Li Yao Feeling refreshed!

Looking carefully, he saw a high platform formed by stone pillars on the diagonal line of the cave, on which two children aged seven or eight or nine were sitting cross-legged.

The boy on the left has a tiger-like head, and his wide-open eyes are full of murderous intent and fighting spirit.

At first glance, he is a troublemaker who is not afraid of anything.

The girl on the right looks quiet and well-behaved, but there is an eccentric light in her eyes from time to time, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth always sound like she is sure of winning, and may be even more difficult to deal with than the sharp-edged boy.

Between the two children, there were thousands of ultra-miniature psychic puppets, the little ants that Li Yao saw in the "city" just now.

These little ants are shining with red and green light, and they are controlled by two little guys respectively, attacking and killing each other.

Li Yao quickly discovered the rules.

As long as an "ant" is bitten by two "ants" of the opponent at the same time, it will automatically change into the opponent's color and join the opponent's camp.

Naturally, the game is decided when all the ants turn one color.

When Li Yao arrived, the game had already reached the endgame.

The boy's remaining red ant soldiers were heavily surrounded by the girl's army of green ants.

No matter how hard he rushed left and right, he could not get out.

Instead, the girl patiently weakened him layer by layer until finally, Only the last red ant remains.

According to the rules, a red ant cannot transform into a green ant.

The boy lost.

"A great civilization will never surrender, charge!"

The boy shouted, commanding the last red ant to rush forward, and was quickly swallowed up by the huge wave of green ants.

Li Yao secretly marveled that although it was just a game between children, the unpredictable tactics and the exquisite timing of attacks were no less than the most professional war games and a hundred times more complicated than a fierce battle in a magma lake.

Deep underground, by the lava lake, two children are manipulating metal ants in a war game.

What a weird scene!

And what do you think of Li Yao?

Why do you think these two naughty kids look so familiar?

"What is this place and who are you?"

Li Yao coughed dryly, alerting the two little guys to his presence, and said with full vigilance, "Where are your adults?

Since you have invited me, the vulture Li Yao, here, why do you need to hide your head and show your tail?

Isn't it shameful to see others?"

"ha!"

The two little guys stood up at the same time, with happy smiles on their faces, and stretched out their fleshy arms like tender lotus roots towards Li Yao, "Dad is here, Daddy!"
