Chapter 1597: Carbon-Based Technology Tree?
The atmosphere had eased, but the scene was still horrifying.
She bent down close to the ore. Three pairs of spiral jaws slowly opened, revealing dense cilia within. Those furry feelers suddenly extended, piercing into the cracks in the rock like living things and secreting fluorescent-green digestive fluid. Fine bubbles immediately rose across the ore's surface.
Her body began to distort further—the originally translucent, membranous folds were completely covered in metal, turning into sharp, blade-like structures that unconsciously scraped against the surrounding "jelly."
Her pheromone glands swelled and rotted from the buildup of toxins. What they secreted was no longer a pale-purple mist, but corrosive black-red slime that hissed when it dripped onto the ground.
Her compound eyes had become completely clouded. She could only sense direction through the radiation emitted by the minerals, devouring them in great mouthfuls like a hungry ghost.
Seeing this, Gavrey instinctively swallowed.
He felt that he had been tricked by someone yet again.
Although the last time he had been tricked was still the last time, being tricked then did not mean he would not be tricked now.
I really shouldn't have believed that lunatic~
Compared with the spacetime organism beside him, however, Gao Gong was enthusiastically enjoying Lady Ba Ren's feeding scene.
In theory, she did not need to eat, because the consumption of the billions of insects below would enter the hive's digestive system through a special digestive channel.
But this "edible mineral" seemed to secrete a special energy fluctuation, and that fluctuation naturally attracted the insect race.
Just as the introduction had said—
Function 2: After the "composite mineral" has been adjusted for palatability, it possesses a powerful attraction for carbon-based organisms—the insect species. Even the "energy fluctuations" it emits will attract insect species from across
