Chapter 359: Recognition of the Escaped
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Void Evil?” Li Wenyuan asked. At this moment, Queen Presolin had already become somewhat chaotic.
“That’s a biological weapon that goes against the laws of nature. They can eat much more than us. Wherever they go, they will turn into the void. No energy can escape their bloody mouths.”
“They are the hunting hounds of the Hunter. They will smell the place with the most energy and guide the Hunter to harvest. They are void lifeforms that can never be filled…”
The Queen spoke incoherently for a long time, so Li Wenyuan had no choice but to comfort her for a while.
He didn’t expect that the hound alone could make Presolin, a powerful lifeform that could travel through sub-space, feel fear. How powerful would a real hunter be?
He had once used the genes of Presolin to develop a type of lifeform suppression cubic field. However, it seemed that Presolin was not at the top of the food chain in the universe. The void lifeforms that he had just discovered seemed to be their nemesis.
Furthermore, it was the kind of fear that was deeply rooted in the genes. All Presolin individuals would instinctively fear the aura of the Void Evil.
After a while, Presolin gradually stabilized from its chaotic state, and it was no longer so incoherent.
“I-I’m very sorry… I lost my composure…”
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Li Wenyuan continued to ask,
[What is the Hunter civilization like? What are these void lifeforms like? Don’t panic. I’m right here.]
The queen of Presolin seemed to have been infected, or perhaps she thought that Li Wenyuan’s safety was guaranteed. She composed herself and continued,
“We don’t know how the Hunter civilization is. We only know that they seem to be searching for prey throughout the universe. Our homeland was once chosen by them as a hunting ground.”
“But in fact, we were chased out before we could even see the Hunter civilization with our own eyes. The void destroyed our homes, and our race became refugees, having no choice but to wander around the universe… Moreover, we realized that we seemed to be targeted. The hounds had been chasing us until we entered the Milky Way…”
Queen Presolin was very afraid of the terrifying memory of the former insect disaster encountering the beast disaster, but she endured it and finished her story.
“However, we still have some understanding of the Void Evil. The smallest adult they are is the size of a planet. Their entire bodies are spewing poisonous gases. Most importantly, wherever they go, all the heat will disappear. We even suspect that they might feed on stars in the later stages of their growth…”
“The characteristics of the lifeform you described are very similar to the Void Fruit, but…”
When the Queen said this, she seemed to be puzzled.
“However, the Void Evil in our memories doesn’t seem to be the birth method of the Planet Egg. They were born in the womb…”
[Perhaps it’s just an evolution for compromise.]
Li Wenyuan didn’t care much about this. The current Hunter civilization was clearly not in that megacorp galaxy. Instead, they had handed over their hound eggs to this company to hatch.
Perhaps it was because the method of birth was not easy to manage, but it was much more convenient to reproduce using eggs.
“In that case, I think I’ve arrived at the Hunter’s canine shed. Is this the place where the humans arrived first, or did the Hunter arrive first?”
He still had questions in his heart. The Assimilation Fighters working there had yet to find any traces of humans, and after knowing the origin of that galaxy, he felt that he needed to speed up his progress.
Therefore, he asked Queen Presolin, [Do you want to take a look over there?]
This ferocious space behemoth immediately shook its huge head like a human, as if it was extremely afraid of that side.
[I see…]
Li Wenyuan felt a little regretful, but he wouldn’t force this group of enlightened refugees from outer space to do anything. Therefore, he asked the Voyager to go to that galaxy as well and continue to be his exploration force there, complementing the Assimilation Fighters.
However, after making this decision for a while, Queen Presolin found him again, and this time, what the queen mentioned was a little unexpected.
“…We, we also want to take a look over there… At least, it’s not the Hunter. If it’s just the hounds, we also want to overcome the fear that has been chasing us all along…”
The brave worms wanted to overcome their weakness. This made Li Wenyuan have a different opinion of this already very docile outer space refugee.
No matter how docile they were, they were still the former overlords of the galaxy and the insect disaster that made countless civilizations tremble.
In essence, they still ate meat. Farming couldn’t change their habits. All this time, they hadn’t worn down their minions. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, they would try to take revenge.
However, even if they used sub-space travel, it would take Presolin a long time to cross two million light-years, and the warp drive of the spaceships could not guarantee that part of the Presolin outside the spaceships would not disappear during the formation of the space-time field.
In the end, the spaceships carried Presolin’s egg and hatched it there, allowing Presolin to come to that galaxy.
The Voyager, who had arrived first, had long begun their exploration work. Like the Assimilation Fighters, they remained in a secretive state. After all, this was the Hunter’s territory, and no one wanted to attract attention.
However, this was only on the surface because Li Wenyuan didn’t forbid them from using force. He only told them to do things secretly.
In interstellar space exploration, conflicts were inevitable. Furthermore, from Presolin’s description, Li Wenyuan did not think that this Hunter was a civilization that liked to live in harmony with others. The history of the galaxy ruled by the megacorp also illustrated this situation very well.
Under the premise of ensuring his own safety, he did not mind weakening the rear of this dangerous civilization. The other party was a civilization that liked to roam the universe. Li Wenyuan felt that he would encounter the other party sooner or later. The humans who had left before him might have already started fighting with the other party.
After Presolin arrived at that galaxy, it also found a hidden location and began to develop its own faction.
Queen Presolin herself had entered a state of chrysalis. According to her, it was to transfer her consciousness to the other side so that she could control the insect plague there.
Hence, this galaxy group that had been ruled by the megacorp for countless years did not realize that an external force had quietly infiltrated this place and was about to cause a huge storm..
