Lee looked at everything in a daze.

He didn't know whether it was the real picture of the archaic era or the exaggerated depiction with strong symbolic meaning. In a word, the tentacles stretched out from the void tightly entangled one immigrant star ship after another. No matter how the particle guns and vacuum torpedoes of these star ships attacked, it didn't care, but it dragged all the star ships together with the Yuanshi clan into the lavender crevice.

Then, Li Yao's vision seemed to turn into a strange dream. In the kaleidoscope like waves, he saw a huge monster, which seemed to occupy half a sea of stars, with 10000 tentacles and 100 million translucent organs similar to eyes, emitting faint light, filled with unspeakable strangeness and fear.

After that, the colorful fragments agglomerate again, and the chaotic time and space are stabilized again. The immigration fleet of Yuanshi clan is brought to a brand new world by this monster. It is a "paradise" full of psionic power and crystal stone, with inexhaustible energy!

"This, this is --"

The spirit of Li Yao shuddered with excitement, as if he could taste the sweetness of infinite power from the picture, "what is this?"

"As you can see, this is a kind of alien star group that can freely travel through the four-dimensional space and jump in the sea of stars. We call it the" void hunter. "

The voice explains, "although our" Yuanshi civilization "is one of the earliest civilizations in this cosmic sea, it is not the earliest intelligent life. Long before us, in those" blessed caves "with abundant aura, countless intelligent alien stars were born, forming a huge" cosmic ecosystem ", and the void hunter is one of them.

"It's just that they spent billions of years, but they didn't create a highly developed civilization. Most of the alien stars are wild animals like the" void Hunter ". They live by instinct. Their intelligence quotient is no more than seven or eight years old. Only a very small number of alien stars have developed a primary social form of slavery."

"Why?"

It's hard for Li Yao to imagine, "having abundant powers, even enlightening the initial wisdom, but wasting hundreds of millions of years of precious time, he still hasn't developed civilization - that doesn't make sense!"

"On the ancient earth, there are many species that have lived and multiplied for hundreds of millions of years. They have resisted several mass extinctions and won the reputation of" living fossil ", such as tortoise, crocodile and cockroach. But they have never produced wisdom and civilization."

The voice said, "in the final analysis, the so-called" civilization "is not a necessity of life, and evolution is by no means an eternal way forward. The so-called" evolution "is just a helpless evolution formed after the drastic changes of the environment and cruel elimination.

"Life is a very lazy thing. As long as the environment doesn't change much and it can survive, it will never expect to change and" evolve. ".

"Just like turtles, crocodiles and cockroaches, they are already the kings in their respective fields, or the top hunters at the highest level of the food chain, or they have strong defenses and incredible viability. They don't need wisdom or civilization. They can still live well and continue their genes.

"So, what's their motivation to change and 'evolve'?

"The same is true for the void hunter. You can simply imagine it as a giant octopus with the ability of jumping in the sea of stars and living in a vacuum. It pursues meteorites and asteroids with crystal veins in the vast sea of stars by instinct, extends its tentacles from the space gap, encircles the meteorites, and devours the energy in the crystal with a specially constructed negative pressure suction cup, This instinct makes it grow comfortably in the middle of the universe for hundreds of millions of years. Its huge size and ability to haunt make it have no natural enemies. Even if it encounters enemies that can't be provoked, it's a big deal to get into the four-dimensional space, escape for millions of light years, and walk away. What's the use of wisdom and civilization for it? "

Li yaozai thought about it for a long time.

I have to admit that the voice is right.

Born in a blessed cave with abundant aura, a creature is born with the ability of swallowing crystal, absorbing energy and navigating in the void. It is unnecessary to work hard to develop wisdom and civilization.

Just like the children of the rich with golden chopsticks, there is no need to work hard.

Only weak and pitiful primates like human beings, who have been struggling for survival all the way from hairless monkeys without spiritual space, can have the need to evolve outstanding wisdom and create a strong civilization.

"So --"

Li Yao felt thirsty. "All the remaining immigrant starships have been taken to the middle of the universe sea by this" void Hunter "? Didn't it devour you? "

"Devouring a part."

The voice said, "the void hunters are the best voyagers in the cosmic sea. They are born to sense the shadow ripples cast by the four-dimensional storm into the three-dimensional universe, and control these shadow ripples to create fleeting wormholes, so as to jump over the sea of stars in a very long distance. In this way, they can chase the erratic meteorite rain and resource planet.

"This empty hunter, however, perceives the plume released by the immigrant starship, and regards our fleet as a meteorite belt with rich energy. Only then can he emerge from the four-dimensional space and coerce and devour us all.

"However, you should also find that at that time, our immigration fleet had run out of ammunition and food, and there was no fuel left in the fuel warehouse. This" empty Hunter "smashed and swallowed up three immigration starships, and found that there was not much energy to squeeze except the rusty scrap metal, so he gave up eating.

"Although no civilization in the true sense has evolved, the void hunter is a primary intelligent life that has lived in the middle of the cosmic sea for hundreds of millions of years. It soon discovered that the Yuanshi clan within the starship is also a small life form.

"In the middle of the cosmic sea at that time, there was a set of criteria for judging the strength and risk coefficient of life.

"Basically, the more powerful the psionic power in your body is and the more skillful you are at manipulating it, the more powerful and dangerous it is.

"Although our Yuanshi clan came into contact with several crystal stones falling from the sky on the earth and practiced their preliminary magic power, they were just beginning to learn and practice. Most of the propulsion systems used chemical energy and atomic energy, including the star ships we were on.

"Void hunters can neither understand our complex social form and civilization, nor perceive the potential and danger hidden under our weak appearance, nor understand how advanced technology and complex industrial system our starship represents. In its view, we are just a group of harmless insects... Human and animal."

"Harmless insects for human and animal?"

Li Yao couldn't help laughing.

Human beings, the most powerful fighting race in the sea of stars, are taken as small insects by a huge octopus. It's really interesting.

"The empty Hunter looks at us as the elephant looks at the ant. It doesn't matter if he tramples on us. It doesn't matter if he ignores us."

The voice said, "but for the survivors of the Yuanshi clan, the appearance of the void hunter is no different from a subversion of destroying the heaven and the earth, which completely smashes our world outlook and scientific outlook. The endless flow of heaven and earth and endless aura make our almost annihilated survival instinct expand again, blooming with the most ferocious flame.

"All the survivors immediately took action and racked their brains to think about how to survive in such a strange and rich environment.

"It wasn't long before some wise men with highly evolved brains, who were able to increase and release brain waves freely, found a way. They tried every means to reach an agreement with the void hunter, and the two sides formed a harmonious symbiotic relationship. The Yuanshi tribe became the" probiotics "and" parasites "of the void hunter."

"This --"

Li Yao was stunned, "how can it be?"

"Void hunters are travelers who travel through the vast universe alone. They have no concept of community and society. However, in the long and desolate journey, they will inevitably feel lonely and bored. In particular, they often travel through the four-dimensional space and tear neurons repeatedly, which will eventually have an impact on nerve clusters."

The voice said, "in order to survive, a special profession named" dreamer "was born among the Yuanshi people. It uses its own intricate brain waves to" massage the soul "for the void hunters, weaving all kinds of colorful dreams. Naturally, the void hunters can't understand the memory pictures and rich emotions of the Yuanshi people, but the strange dreams infuse their nerve clusters, But it can make it feel very comfortable, just like tickling it.

"In this way, the Yuanshi clan parasitizes on the empty hunters. They can barely survive through some" leftovers "that leak from their tentacles, that is, fragments of crystal stones. The empty hunters use our rich emotions and imagination to carry out" soul massage "to eliminate the loneliness of the long journey and the side effects of starry sky jumping.

"It looks like a very harmonious symbiotic relationship, but there are subtle murders.

"One day, while the dreamers on a star ship were doing" soul massage "for the void hunter, their star ship was suddenly crushed by the void hunter, and millions of survivors who finally came to the middle of the cosmic sea died on the spot.

"The rest of the survivors were shocked and didn't know what was going on - how on earth they angered the void hunter.

"It wasn't until nearly ten million people on the other four star ships were killed at will by the void hunters that the rest of the people gradually realized that the dreamers on these star ships created" Dreams "for the void hunters, which were too old and boring, and repeated too many times, which made the void hunters impatient.

"That was the most humiliating and dangerous moment of the original civilization.

"In order to survive, all the Yuanshi people have to rack their brains to weave beautiful and colorful dreams. They can't stop for a moment, and they have to do their best to send out the most interesting brain waves every second. When the brain waves are a little dull and gloomy, they can't stop, It's the day of the complete destruction of an immigrant starship! "
