Ding Meng's heart sank. He asked, "You two attacked it?"
Fujama Zhen said, "At that time, it wasn't very strong. At most, it was at the level of an advanced warrior. However, there was a problem. We couldn't kill it. It survived by attaching itself to corpses. Every time we killed it, we only destroyed the corpses it was attached to. Its droplet form was very difficult to destroy. It could quickly attach itself to other corpses and survive."
Xue Yue Shan said, "And it was constantly absorbing the inherent energy of the starship, increasing its strength time and time again. We were on this Divine Light starship and it was a battle of attrition, delaying it for an entire 7 years. After 7 years, it won and we died."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "But why didn't the Federation's patrol fleet discover you two during these seven years?
And Senior Blood's Devouring Realm, why couldn't they find you? "
Xue Yue Mountain laughed bitterly. "This Divine Light starship's technology is very powerful. While the droplet was fighting with us, it was also constantly growing. It devoured these human corpses and obtained their memories. Using this limited knowledge, it was able to learn a small part of the starship's functions. At least, it definitely knows the functions of invisibility, teleportation, and camouflage that you often talk about."
Ding Meng suddenly understood. "No wonder the Federation's special patrol fleet couldn't find anything after searching for Senior Feng for three years. It was because of that strange creature."
Fujama Zhen sighed. "The last battle between me and the old bastard was under the Expedition Starship. We couldn't defeat it even if we worked together."
Xue Yueshan sighed and said, "Little thing, although I look down on you humans who think you're smart, I still have to thank you that time. If it wasn't for your quick reaction and making two crystal energy artificial bodies beforehand, I would have already turned into ashes."
Fujama Zhen sighed. "Forget it. What's the point of mentioning this now?
I've calculated that 20 years have passed since we died. "
Xue Yue Mountain sighed with emotion. "That darn thing only took seven years to become an advanced warlord. Now that 20 years have passed, according to your Federation's standards, it's probably already a warlord, right?
He might even be a Battle-Saint!
In our Devouring World, we might need a sect master to deal with it. "
"That's not necessarily true!"
Fujama Zhen retorted. "When I was studying the starship's system, I discovered that although Shenguang Technology was powerful and its energy source was unique, the starship had suffered great damage. The real people of Shenguang must have activated protective measures. All the secrets, technology, data, and the most important core energy source were locked in the warehouse. After I died, even if that darn thing swallowed my body, it wouldn't be able to find a way to unlock it within 20 years. After all, the Shenguang civilization is too powerful …" He paused.
"I'm guessing that when the Shenguang starship was attacked, the people of Shenguang were all dead. Besides the warehouse, I also discovered that the starship's basic energy source is a type of miraculous energy source that can be recycled and reused. However, the overall amount of this energy source is not high. Even if the Droplet absorbed all of it, it wouldn't have been able to become a warlord. Furthermore, this creature is very cunning and smart. If it had any brains, it wouldn't have absorbed all of the starship's energy."
Ding Meng and Xue Yue Mountain agreed with this analysis. Once the Shenguang starship stopped its basic operations due to energy issues, it was equivalent to a floating coffin in the universe. No matter how powerful the Droplet was, it could only be powerful in this coffin. What use would it be?
Xue Yue Mountain said, "Is there such a possibility?
It would think of ways to find a new energy source. "
Ding Meng suddenly said expressionlessly, "Yes!
And this possibility is infinitely close to reality! "
"Why?" The two of them asked in unison.
Ding Meng's gaze landed on Fujen Zhen. "Senior Fujen, when you were alive, did you cultivate infectious psychokinesis?"
Fujen Zhen was stunned. "That's right!"
Ding Meng then looked at Xue Yue Mountain. "Senior Fujen, when you were alive, did you have an extremely strong homogenization ability and adaptability ability?
Were you stronger than the other elders in the Devouring Realm? "
Xue Yue Mountain was shocked. "How did you know?"
Ding Meng sighed. "I'm almost certain now that the Droplet you're talking about is hiding in the Federation's Linda faction's Thorn Planet."
Fujen Zhen and Xue Yue Mountain's electronic eyes lit up. "What?"
Ding Meng paused as if he was sorting out all the clues. Then, he said, "Back then, after you fought with it and died, it must have used your corpses to obtain your memories and knowledge. Then, it began to research how to become stronger."
Fujen Zhen nodded in approval. "That's right. If I were it, I would do the same."
Ding Meng raised three fingers. "There are three paths for it to take. First, continue to research the starship's system and try to open the warehouse to obtain energy as soon as possible."
Fujen Zhen said, "But that's not realistic. Even if it has my knowledge and Old Trash's deciphering ability, it won't be able to understand the starship's system without a few hundred years of study."
Ding Meng nodded. "Second, pilot the starship to the depths of the universe."
Xue Yue Mountain said, "That's even more impossible."
Fujen Zhen also nodded. The universe was a vast and endless dark forest. No one dared to fly into the unknown depths of the universe alone.
Ding Meng continued, "The last path is to use the starship's powerful stealth ability to open a miniature wormhole and teleport the entire starship to the depths of one of the Federation's Linda planets to hide. Senior Fujen, is the recyclable energy on this starship enough to support it?"
Fujen Zhen lowered his head as if he was calculating. After a long time, he raised his head. "No problem, and the energy is just enough."
Ding Meng took a deep breath. "I understand now!
Where did all these strange things come from? "
Fujen Zhen said, "Please enlighten me, Brother Ding."
Ding Meng said, "After it dived underground, I'm guessing that it wouldn't dare act rashly. If it went to the surface openly, it might be discovered by the space station and the patrol fleet in the sky at any time."
Fujen Zhen said, "Yes, it's strong enough, but not strong enough to fight against a fleet. Also, in the seven years of battle, it destroyed all the corpses. It has no body to possess, so it can only exist in the form of a water droplet."
Xue Yue Mountain said, "You forgot one thing. One of our corpses must have been used by it."
Ding Meng said, "It's definitely not Senior Fujen's corpse."
Fujen Zhen was shocked. "Why?"
Ding Meng said with a heavy expression: "There's a reason why it chose Senior Xue's body. The Realm Devouring Beast's body and strength are both much greater than a human's. It can use this to its advantage to excavate"
"Dig?" Fujen Zhen and Xue Yue Mountain were both confused. "What is it trying to dig?"
Ding Meng said, "It's probably digging a tunnel to the surface with its bare hands."
Fujen Zhen was confused. "Other than the Expedition, the Frogs' probe ship is also here. Why didn't it use the probe ship to dig?"
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "It's an intelligent creature. It's impossible that it doesn't know the risks involved."
Xue Yue Mountain understood. "If it really used the probe ship, it would have been detected by the space station in the sky."
Ding Meng said, "It has another purpose. It used Elder Fujen's ability to pollute the ground along the way to block the detection signals of the patrol fleet. As everyone knows, the World Devourer has a strong ability to interfere with the Federation's quantum detection."
Fujen Zhen was shocked. "Could it be that it has been digging for the past twenty years?"
Ding Meng nodded with a serious face. "That's very likely. However, it didn't dig the tunnel directly to the surface. It kept it close to the surface. It knows that it can't be exposed to light. Once it's exposed to the surface, it will be very dangerous."
Fujen Zhen couldn't help but praise Ding Meng's thinking. It was indeed meticulous and reasonable.
Ding Meng said, "At this time, it used some unknown method to send a signal to the outside world. It successfully attracted an exploration team from Tianhang International to Planet Immortal Weaver. As long as this group of people dared to come down, they were destined to be killed by it. Once it obtained the knowledge and memories of these people, it would have a better understanding of the Federation's current situation."
Fujen Zhen and Xue Yue Mountain didn't ask any more questions. They had already smelled an extremely dangerous signal from Ding Meng's reasoning.
Ding Meng continued, "Once the tunnel completely connects to the surface, the death of the exploration team will inevitably attract the nearby search and rescue teams. At this time, it can use Senior Feng's infectious telekinesis. The infectious telekinesis can spread outwards layer by layer. The civilians and refugee camps on Planet Immortal Weaver were the first to be infected. That's why there was a refugee riot a year ago.
The riot was fake, but it was actually used. These people naturally burrowed into the ground after they lost their minds. They dug the tunnel with their bare hands. Batch after batch of people died, and another batch came in. Eventually, they dug the underground world into a maze. This is the cleverness of the creature. Even if someone discovered some clues, they wouldn't have imagined that there was such a terrifying alien hiding in the depths of Planet Immortal Weaver. "
Xue Yue Mountain said, "If a large number of people died, it could also absorb them and evolve. If I'm not wrong, the underground world of Planet Immortal Weaver is already an environment similar to that of the Devouring World."
Ding Meng's speculation was completely in line with what he had seen and heard along the way. Ding Meng explained, "It still has a backup plan. To prevent the masters from discovering that something is wrong, it must have learned part of Shenguang Technology's teleportation technology and built a teleportation hall underground. It can teleport to and from Planet Immortal Weaver, Planet Thorn, Planet Feilai, and many other planets at any time, making it difficult for people to discover its whereabouts."
Fujen Zhen and Xue Yue Mountain were stunned. The two of them had always been conceited, but they didn't expect their opponent to be even more cunning and meticulous than they were.
