Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 432 Shackles of Life

More than 300 sea mussels, one is not a lot!
Looking around, there are no less than fifty sea clams that are more than ten years old.

If Su Xia were to find it by herself, even with the help of a submarine, she would have to search for at least a month or two in the vast sea to find so many sea oysters.

During this period, you may also encounter some unknown dangers that exist in the sea.

But now, with a roar, the big whale directly sent so many sea clams to Su Xia.

"How about it, isn't it a great gift?" The big whale asked proudly.

"Yes!"

Su Xia nodded seriously.

If this is not a great gift, what else is?
The pearls produced by these phantom blue sea clams, refined into psychic potions, are enough for Su Xia to become a top creature on this planet, and even cross that threshold, beyond the known limit of this planet!
"These guys, I knew they were here a long time ago, but I just didn't bother looking for them, because I can't digest them myself now, so I will keep them and let them grow slowly." The big whale said.

"Can't digest it?"

Su Xia frowned, and then asked, "What do you mean? Can't you digest the pearls they produce?"

"Yes," replied the big whale.

"There shouldn't be such a problem." Su Xia said.

"I don't know what's wrong, but I just can't digest it." The big whale was also helpless.

According to him, when the psychic age first came, he could absorb a large amount of psychic energy, evolve continuously, and his strength gradually increased, gradually possessing the current ability.

You know, before the arrival of the age of spiritual energy, although he was huge, he wasn't that big.

Before that, he was actually only more than 100 meters long, and the largest was less than 200 meters.

"At that time, I was still very thin..."

The big whale recalled its previous appearance, and there was more emotion in its voice.

Su Xia nodded slightly. He had read the materials about the "Moor Behemoth" and "The Whale of Vengeance". There were some blurry pictures and videos, some in black and white, and some in color. appearance.

After the psychic energy came, the size of the big whale exploded again, reaching its present appearance.

"Not only me, that annoying electric eel, but also the sea dragon and the tentacle monster. After absorbing the psionic energy, they all became much bigger and smarter than before," said the big whale.

He thought that he would continue to evolve endlessly like this until the end of his life.

However, one day a few years ago, he suddenly discovered that he could no longer continue to grow stronger. It seemed that the absorbed power had reached a critical point, no matter how much he absorbed it, he could not digest it.

He has swallowed quite a few sea blue pearls, and he could absorb as many as he swallowed before.

But after that day, he failed.

"Why is this?"

Hearing this, Su Xia pondered, thinking about the reason for this problem, but he knew little about it.

His ugly clone has not yet evolved to the level of a big whale, and has not encountered the situation that the big whale said.

"Sarah, do you know?" Su Xia could only ask Sarah beside her.

"Well, I should know a little bit." Sarah smiled sweetly and nodded.

"What's the reason?" Su Xia asked.

Outside the submarine, the big whale remained silent, a little nervous, quietly waiting for Sarah's answer.

Sarah smiled and said, "Captain, according to my records, Zerg creatures, like humans and machines, will face a huge gap when their civilization reaches a certain stage, and it will be difficult to cross over."

"You mean... enter the starry sky?"

After thinking for a while, Su Xia understood what Sarah meant, and at the same time, she also knew the problem of the big whale.

As we all know, the bodies of marine creatures can grow very large, and the largest ones are countless times larger than elephants on land, such as the blue whale on the ground.

The most important reason is that marine organisms can rely on the buoyancy of sea water to reduce the bearing capacity of their own bones.

However, the body of the big whale is too huge, more than 300 meters long, and it is suffocatingly large. Even if he is a psionic creature and has sea water to help him, he cannot grow anymore.

If it grows any longer, he will be crushed by himself, killed by himself.

"Will I be killed by myself?" The big whale was taken aback.

"Right." Su Xia nodded.

"Then what should I do? Will I be like this in the future?" Big Whale is actually quite satisfied with his own strength. He has basically had nothing to desire in the past few years. He eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and has no other requirements.

It’s fine if there’s no way, but now, Sarah seems to have a solution to this kind of problem, which cheers him up, and he has some vague expectations in his heart.

If it can continue to become stronger, it is naturally the best.

"Sarah, what do you think?"

"Master Captain, do you know Kraken?" Sarah asked with a light smile.

"I know, the Zerg's 'Titan-level' life, a giant beast that can swim in the starry sky." Su Xia nodded, he had heard the octopus monster Haidar before.

Kraken, beyond the sixth level of life.

Those who can swim in the starry sky are almost all Zerg creatures of level eight or nine or higher. They are extremely huge, and their bodies form a space of their own, which can carry a large number of other Zerg life.

They are an important unit of the Zerg for interstellar colonization, and each of them is extremely powerful.

In Hal's materials, there are many records about Kraken.

For example, more than 2000 years ago, a huge Kraken suddenly descended on a remote civilized planet in the star field of the Empire. After he descended, a large number of Zerg creatures gushed out from the space in his body, and a nest of insects was established at an extremely fast speed. The stronghold almost caused the entire planet to be swallowed by bugs.

In the end, it was the Imperial Fleet who used a weapon called "Death Sonic" to forcibly kill the Kraken Behemoth that had reached the tenth level of creatures, and spent a lot of energy to clean up the remaining low-level Zerg. planet.

In addition to the Kraken, the Zerg also has other Titan-level creatures. After growing to a certain level, they can break through the limitations of the planet and travel into the starry sky, such as Behemoth, Satus, Magara and so on.

Their names are different, and their body shapes, characteristics, and abilities are also different, but they all have a similar characteristic—extremely huge!
The huge body can store enough energy to support them to travel in the starry sky.

Even the smallest titan-level creature is nearly a kilometer long.

"But I can't grow up anymore." The big whale said sadly, his evolution had stopped, and his life level was restricted to the highest level on this planet.

"Breakthrough of Zerg creatures requires a certain amount of luck." Sarah said with a smile, her voice gentle.

"Is there any way to reduce the element of luck?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes, he needs to keep trying. He can no longer let nature take its course like before. He must have a firm belief in evolution." Sarah gave such a reply.

"How to try?" The big whale outside couldn't wait, and asked aloud.

"break the limit."

"breakthrough?"

"Yes, this is something other than luck, you can see it as 'effort'."

Sarah explained: "Cosmic space is far colder and crueler than the ocean space you are in now. If you are not careful, you will easily encounter a life-and-death crisis. If you want to evolve into a Titan-level creature, you must break through your existing limit."

"How should I break through?" The big whale still didn't understand, and continued to ask.

"Press yourself, go into some of the harshest parts of the planet to grind, you might even try to survive on land for a while."

"Land?" The big whale was startled. "I'm a sea creature. Wouldn't I be courting death if I went to land? Wouldn't it overwhelm me?"

"Yes, as a marine creature, you are also looking for death when you enter the universe." Sarah smiled slightly. "This is just to activate your will to survive, hone your ability to survive, and stimulate the evolutionary instinct in your body."

"This is too cruel..."

The big whale is distressed. If it does not continue to evolve and maintain its current size, it is actually quite good. Anyway, he is already the king of the sea. As long as he does not encounter the underwater troops of humans or mechanical clans, his life is almost not in danger.

Zerg's technology tree is different from that of humans or machine races. They climb the technology of flesh and blood.

And this technology tree has always been full of blood and cruelty.

The octopus monster Haidar told Su Xia that in order to enter the starry sky, some creatures will evolve closed pressurized carapaces to isolate themselves from the vacuum, and when some creatures enter the cosmic space, their body surface cells will enter a nearly dormant state. To reproduce and divide, to minimize the damage of cosmic rays to cells...

"This road is so difficult, no wonder the electric eels and sea dragons are all stuck, just like me." The big whale pondered, and after listening to Sarah's words, he thought of the past hundreds of years.

For a long time, he has been fighting with human whaling ships.

At that time, he was often faced with life and death crises, and there was a desire in his heart to become stronger, and indeed he became stronger and stronger, becoming a sea monster feared by countless people.

But after becoming a sea monster, his sense of crisis became less and less, and the pace of evolution gradually stopped.

"It should be because my life is too comfortable." The big whale also understood its own problems.

After he figured it out, he stopped asking.

The next path is up to him to choose, and other creatures can't help much.

Su Xia remained silent, without asking the big whale's choice.

The big whale is also a member of the Zerg race, and the starry sky is very cruel to the Zerg creatures, and there is a danger of death at every turn.

Even if the big whale really breaks through the shackles of life and becomes an existence of another level, Su Xia also hopes that he will stay on this planet.

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" The big whale changed the subject and brought the topic back to Su Xia, "After you return to land, can you extract spiritual energy from pearls?"

"Yes." Su Xia replied.

"That's good……"

With a flick of its tail, the big whale released a huge coercion again, looked at the many phantom blue sea clams, and said: "If you are conscious, since you are all lined up, come one by one and spit out the pearls! If If one is missing, Grandpa Whale will kill you all!"

"Yes, Grandpa Whale, don't be angry, let's start immediately." The leading sea clam felt bitter, and had to do this under the pressure of the big whale.

The big whale said indifferently: "Grandpa Whale will not take your benefits in vain. I will leave my breath outside this gap. In the future, no other predators will come near this gap, even if it is a top creature." It will also give me face!"

Hearing this, the leading sea clam was overjoyed, sending out a surge of joy.

"Thank you, Grandpa Whale!"

It is enough to say that there are big whales, even if it is worth sending all the pearls this time.

Their race is too weak. In the eyes of many predators, they are just big tonics that can move. This is their natural sorrow.

Living in the cracks of this extreme northern sea, although most predators can be avoided, there are always dangerous moments.

Now, the big whale is willing to protect them, which is to put a talisman on them.

Next, these pearl oysters began to spit out their own pearl crystals in turn.

"Put them all in this big net, and I'll take them back together later."

Su Xia sent several small robots with a large fine net to collect the pearls spit out by the sea oysters.

At the same time, the big whale used its own ability to drive other marine life around to move around, explore the situation in this area, and try to find a safe landing place for Susha.

They all know that the machine race will not give up, and will definitely send patrolling creatures to the extreme northern sea.

It is true that ordinary mechanical life cannot survive in the severe cold, but this does not include the special mechanical troops of the mechanical clan.

After more than ten minutes, the big whale got feedback from the rest of the sea animals.

"Not long ago, there were mechanical creatures patrolling this area, both above and below the sea surface, and it was not safe here." The big whale said to Susha.

"Now that the machine clan is powerful, in fact, there is no safe place on the entire planet." Su Xia had expected this for a long time. The machine clan had already known about his appearance in the northern sea area, and they would definitely strengthen the defense here. .

However, there is an upper limit to the number of mechanical creatures after all.

For the current machine race, the biggest problem is that there are not many resources on this planet, and it is impossible for them to consume all the resources for Susha.

Even if all the excavable resources of the entire planet are used up, the machine race cannot create an army that can control the entire extreme north.

"Actually, they failed to completely blockade the southern waters before, otherwise I would not be able to escape, let alone here?" Su Xia was not worried, she was very calm.

More than two hours later, more than 300 sea mussels spit out pearls.

Among them, the largest pearl was as big as a small volleyball, and it was spit out by the leading sea clam, and the spiritual power contained in it was unimaginable.

Su Xia was kind, she didn't ask them to spit out all the pearls, but asked them to keep one each.

Even so, the total number of pearls reached over two thousand.

"The harvest this time is even more than the last two insect nest battles. Immediately extract the potion after returning, and then retreat..."

Su Xia thought in her heart that when the retreat is over, even if he can't become a top-level creature, it shouldn't be too far behind.

The next time I see Moser, I will press and beat Moser to subdue him completely.

After conquering, you can talk to Moser about the underground biological experiment in Coral City, especially the No. 28 experimental body.

That cunning experimental subject always gave Su Xia a very dangerous feeling.

In Su Xia's task bar, the task named [abnormal out of control] has been there all the time, as if waiting for something.

"Even if you defeat Moser, there is nothing to be proud of." Su Xia is always vigilant, "Moser is just a scientific research robot, in charge of biological experiments. How powerful it is..."
