Origin of Mars

Chapter 163

It's Hydra.

Nearly ten Hydras were hovering over Ding Nan and the others. The strong wind rolled downwards, and the dry leaves flew randomly on the ground. Accompanied by thick and strange roars, the undead beside Ding Nan subconsciously lowered their heads. After getting up, every piece of armor has become extremely bright. Although his eyes are calm, they are indeed staring coldly at Hydera above.

Even though this type of creature has not found that it has expressed obvious malice towards batches of robots such as the undead so far.

But being cautious is always a good thing. No one can peek into the heart of a creature through the body, let alone on a strange planet far away in another galaxy. Fang Liang will not give up his trust easily no matter what. Entrusted to a mysterious flying creature.

Therefore, caution has become the basic principle for the undead to act.

Its mission also includes escorting the safety of Ding Nan's team. Although it is basically certain that Hydera is a species that relies on minerals and plants as food sources, the sharp claws on its legs are undoubtedly a weapon that can easily cut through flesh and blood.

Ding Nan's reaction was quick. He quickly noticed the changes of the undead. The appearance of these flying monsters seemed to have destroyed the original peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. Huge black shadows passed over everyone's body with a strange rhythm. The roaring sound was endless in his ears, and Ding Nan knew very well that the best choice now was to stay where he was and not move.

It's like meeting a bloated brown bear in the forest. It's hard for you to imagine that this seemingly obese creature can chase you at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. An ordinary person can't outrun an aroused hunting desire anyway Brown bear's.

So the best way is to lie down on the spot and pretend to be dead, or try your best to climb a tall straight tree, so as to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Seeing Ding Nan's actions, other members of the team imitated his actions and stayed in place quietly. At the same time, they slowly lowered their bodies and changed to a half-squatting posture. The urge to run was just to look up and watch the behemoth soaring through the sky.

The feathers on their bodies have the texture of metal armor. He couldn't see Hydera's head clearly. Due to the angle of view, they looked like a group of entangled shadows. The dazzling sunlight forced Alexei to Withdraw its curious gaze.

【Quiet, stay where you are】

In the team channel, the voice from the undead quickly reached everyone's ears. The latter seemed to be confronting the flying creatures in the sky with their eyes. Ding Nan silently entered a paragraph of text using the mask panel in front of him.

"Mr. Undead, what are they??"

[Hydera, currently the largest number of large organisms left on this planet]

"Hydra"

Alexei muttered the name, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

[In terms of getting the name in your Blue Star language, even though they don’t feed on meat, you still have to be absolutely careful]

The calm voice of the undead echoed in the ears of Ding Nan and the others.

Of course it is not afraid of these slow creatures. If it is fighting alone, the undead can remove a pair of fresh wings within ten seconds, and then nail the mutilated body to the ground.

It was just worried that if the dozen or so Hyderas suddenly exploded, it would not be able to save the lives of everyone in Ding Nan's team.

You must know that Hydera feeds on minerals at the foot of the volcano. A pair of sharp claws is enough to crush hard ore, not to mention the seemingly unbreakable exoskeleton armor on Ding Nan and the others.

"clear."

Ding Nan recalled the exhortations of the undead, and at this moment he felt the obvious weakening of the light.

It wasn't because Hydera's huge size blocked the light, large swathes of the sky began to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some areas seemed to be splashed with a layer of ink, escaping into darkness.

Unknowingly, Ding Nan saw the night of this planet for the first time. Compared with the poetic sunset and dusk on the blue star, Pandora seems to have been cut by the God of Creation to make the difference between day and night. The transition was a bit of a surprise.

[The light will last for about two hours, the night of Pandora is very short, only about six hours, and there is no planet like the moon here]

The undead has truly become its name, the energy core on the chest is as bright as a star, all the armor is spread out, and the light is flowing like blood, looking directly at Hydera in the sky.

At this time, the armor-like feathers also exude a breath-like glow. With every flap of the wings, countless debris will fall in the air, and at the same time, a bright light like fireworks will explode.

Even though this scene was beautiful, Ding Nan still felt palpitations of uneasiness.

He did not expect to witness such a shocking scene on the first day he came to this planet.

"Woo~"

With a passionate roar, with the last light from the sky, one of the largest Hydera folded its wings, drew a beautiful arc with its whole body, and landed towards the ground.

Ding Nan saw the taste of an eagle in this movement. For Hydera, which has a wingspan of more than ten meters, this should be the most hydrodynamic landing method.

This process happened very quickly. This huge Hydera is not like a golden eagle trying to hunt rabbits, but more like a white crane temporarily stopping on the ground.

It tapped the ground lightly with its powerful feet, and then landed about a few meters away from Ding Nan and the others.

Only by observing this huge creature with eyes at close range can Ding Nan marvel at the ingenious workmanship of the Creator.

Comparing the proportions of various familiar creatures on the blue star, this hydra with its wings folded even gave Ding Nan an oppressive feeling no less than that of an elephant. The feathers on its body surface were emitting white and gray light. , a pair of pupils already showed green fluorescence.

Like a hungry wolf hunting at night, this Hydera, like Ding Nan, observed the strange creatures in front of him with curious eyes.

The expression of this kind of eyes is obvious, which also made several team members including Brenda feel a burst of fear from the heart, and subconscious goosebumps appeared on the skin, only Ding Nan seemed to be from this Hydra. A strange meaning was read in his eyes.

[It doesn't seem to want to treat you as a supper, which is something to be thankful for]

The playful words of the undead sounded in the channel, but Ding Nan didn't know how to answer it.

Then Hydras of different sizes landed behind the first Hydra, combing their feathers, ignoring the undead and Ding Nan's team in front of them.

Only Hydera, who looked like the leader, took a step forward, looked at Ding Nan at the front with scrutiny, and kept walking towards him.

With the last faint light, Ding Nan finally saw the face of this creature named Hydera clearly.

He can't describe this wonderful sense of déjà vu in words.

It doesn't look like the various birds of Blue Star, but it looks like a canine creature with a sharp beak attached to its skull. Although this shape is a bit curious, in Fang Liang's view, it is actually a bit strange. I don't know where the domineering comes from.

Until it was about three meters away from Ding Nan, the Hydra suddenly spread its wings covering the sky and took off again.

The strong wind that rolled up from the flat ground actually knocked Ding Nan to the ground in an instant. A piercing sound of gold and iron interlaced came from beside him. The undead stepped forward instinctively. For some reason, his body stopped abruptly in the air, and a part of Hydera on the side seemed to feel the killing intent emanating from the undead, and also shook his wings, making high-pitched roars one after another.

Because the undead saw Ding Nan, who fell on the ground, waving his hands frantically from it, the text from the channel automatically appeared in front of its eyes.

"Mr. Undead! It's not malicious! I can feel it!"

Ding Nan has never been a fool who believes in his intuition, but this is an emotion he has never felt before.

If it is a wild creature on the blue star, the words used on it are nothing more than innocence, wildness, and naturalness.

But deep in the eyes of this Hydera, Ding Nan saw something similar to emotion.

He didn't know if it was because of the scattered light that caused him to have a problem with visual confusion.

This is a feeling that cannot be described in words. Ding Nan was so excited that he trembled all over. He got up tremblingly. To pass through Ding Nan's skin, even through a layer of hard exoskeleton armor, Ding Nan can still feel the strong impact force spilling over the metal surface.

"Woo~~"

"Woo~~"

This Hydera let out a shocking roar, and the boundless voice spread far and far in this vast plain, as if silently mourning for the innocent dead creatures.

Ding Nan's delighted eyes never left this magical flying monster for a moment. Its flying distance was moving with Ding Nan's footsteps, but the rhythm and decibel of the roar remained unchanged, and the rest of the hydra also flew away. It rises and turns into streaks of light and shadows piercing into the gradually dimming sky.

"Mr. Undead, I think it seems to want to tell me something."

At this moment, Ding Nan's voice sounded in the team channel.

"You are like a falconer in ancient times, Ding. This picture is really shocking."

Ivanovic admired sincerely. He was looking at the figure of Ding Nan. The latter had already walked a dozen steps away. Hydras flew and roared with him as the center, forming a whirlpool-like shape.

"If you could measure my heart, it would be about to burst."

Ding Nan joked helplessly, the feeling of being in a storm seemed to make his thoughts soar in the sky of this planet.

He seems to be able to feel the wailing of this land. In every night full of wildness, the innocent souls here have never stopped crying, and Hydera may be the only witness. Light, using the power of nature to mourn for it.

【you mean】

"They want to point us somewhere, perhaps somewhere unknown on this plain."

Ding Nan didn't think too much, just closed his eyes and expressed his thoughts.

【I understand】

Undead nodded slightly.

A few seconds later, in the base far away on the other side, three other undead armors appeared from the mechanical city wall, and the ghostly figure quickly turned into a blurred light spot at the end of the field of vision, followed by A set of exploration robots.

【Try to move forward, I will follow you】

The voice of the undead echoed in Ding Nan's ears, and Ding Nan nodded without hesitation.

"Understood, Mister Undead."

Hydera's roar was still vaguely echoing in his ears, while Ding Nan tried his best to calm down his state of mind, and took steps forward at a greater speed.

The strange thing is that between Ding Nan and Hydera, it is impossible to tell who is leading the way forward.

Even Ding Nan, who was placed in the encirclement, couldn't distinguish this feeling. He just walked forward, and he didn't need to think about anything, because the sky was completely dark, and the last few rays of light could no longer show the mountains. The appearance of this world has fallen into deep darkness without a sound.

Only Ding Nan's surroundings are still bright, because all the Hyderas are flying around him, looking at the ground from the corner of the sky, it seems that there is an irregular light rolling on the ground, devouring the eyes of the eyes step by step. In the darkness, march forward fearlessly.

The undead also immediately reported this phenomenon to the origin base, and immediately reported it to Fang Liang after receiving it from zero.

"You said that Hydera is guiding Ding Nan's team to certain places?"

Fang Liang didn't dare to imagine the information he heard, so he just opened the panel, and after about a second, the first-person view of the undead armor came into Fang Liang's eyes.

"This"

Fang Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Such a dreamy scene is indeed a bit unreal. According to Zero, this kind of creature named Hydera seems to have a not-so-low IQ.

If you use the creatures on Blue Star to make an analogy of IQ, Hydera's brain capacity is even no less than that of dolphins and killer whales on Blue Star. The latter is also one of the species that interacts with humans very frequently on Blue Star. of orcas have not even attacked humans, on the grounds that they can tell the difference between humans and seals.

This kind of explanation is obviously not convincing, but Fang Liang saw a certain strange charm from this picture.

"Is Ding Nan surrounded by them?"

Fang Liang stared at the screen and asked at the same time.

"Yes, he seems to be slowly moving forward under the leadership of this group of Hyderas. These creatures seem to want to guide them to find something."

Zero answers.

"Immediately take a larger exploration force and keep up with them."

Fang Liang rubbed his chin, a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind, and he quickly gave an order.

"Yes sir."
