Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan quickly retreated and distanced himself from the resurrected Seed of Corrosion.

"I've been dead for decades...I'm still not dead yet..."

Ke Lan never expected that such an accident would happen. This was never mentioned in the information left by Alpha Civilization.

Even if the Corrosion Seed has strong physical resistance to attack and regeneration, once the "core" is destroyed, it will die immediately. This has been confirmed in hundreds of experiments conducted by the Alpha people, and there is no special one. situation occurs.

For the Seed of Erosion, the "core" is equivalent to the combination of the heart and the brain, and is an absolutely critical part.

Those experiments, of course, also included attempts to pierce the "core" with foreign objects... But in those attempts, even after the piercing objects were removed, the corrosive seeds of death were not resurrected... But why this time? no the same?

Could it be that after merging with human genes, the cells of the Seed of Erosion experienced secondary mutations? But even human genes cannot bring such strong vitality to the erosion seed. If it is said that it is fused with cockroaches on the earth, the credibility may be even higher.

"I'm really out of luck now..." Ke Lan stared at the wriggling tentacles, thinking crazily about countermeasures... Without the "nemesis" of flesh-eating worms, relying only on human means, How can we kill the Seed of Corrosion?

In just a few seconds, the penetrated "core" was wrapped in dozens of tentacles as thick as an arm. Many holes were opened on the surface of these new tentacles. These holes were like mouths, greedy. The ground bit and devoured corpses that had been dried for decades...even the tentacles on the severed limbs that had withered completely were not spared.

Ke Lan could clearly feel that it was thirsty for food, and it would not let go of any organic matter that could be converted into nutrients... After eating the soldier's remains completely, the only living thing around was , naturally only Ke Lan is left.

"...What a shame."

Seeing the two tentacles being drawn towards him, Ke Lan rolled on the spot and managed to hide. Then he drew out his pistol, pointed it at the Corrosion Seed's body not far away and pulled the trigger.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

The other equipment on his body has long been lost in the deep sea. This large-caliber pistol is Ke Lan's only self-defense weapon. The 0.5-inch explosive shell specially modified by Leighton can attack even an indigenous creature as big as a snow dragon. It poses quite a threat, but if it hits the tentacles of the Seed of Corrosion, even the outermost layer of skin cannot be penetrated, let alone the heavily protected "core".

Ke Lan suddenly felt that what Hound said was quite reasonable: "Weapons are the most useful things on Alpha Planet, and also the most useless things."

Problems that can be solved with weapons are not problems, but in the face of real problems, human conventional weapons are almost useless.

Ke Lan started to retreat while shooting at the Seed of Corrosion... But he didn't know how fast the Seed of Corrosion moved. If he chose to escape, could he escape?

Just as he was thinking this, the Corrosion Seed suddenly jumped up from the ground, jumped out five or six meters, and came to his right side, and several tentacles swept over again.

"Hiss...it really doesn't work..."

The way this thing moves is not by running at all, but by relying on the instantaneous force of its tentacles to bounce. One jump is equivalent to Ke Lan's distance of several steps, and the five or six meters is obviously not its limit. If it wants to go all out And if so, I'm afraid the jumping distance can reach twenty meters.

It can't run, even if it's wearing high-mobility power armor, it can't run away from this thing.

Ke Lan could only retreat slowly. He didn't even dare to retreat too fast, for fear that the erosion would lose patience and pounce on him - for Ke Lan, even contact would be fatal. If a virus-like cell invades...even if the corrosive species in front of him gives up chasing him, he will eventually turn into an identical monster.

That's no different than being killed by a seed of erosion.

The Seed of Corrosion is still testing, and it only uses two or three tentacles in each attack. For Ke Lan, this level of attack can barely be dealt with, but once the test is over, the Seed of Corrosion will use nearly a hundred tentacles all over its body. If the tentacles attack together, Ke Lan will be stabbed into a bloody human-shaped honeycomb in less than a second.

With every second that passes, Ke Lan is one step closer to death... This is completely different from the situation in the Abyss Hatchery, where, with the trump card in his hand, he at least has a glimmer of hope... But now, he has What's in it?

A pistol that is completely invulnerable to Corrosive Seeds, and is even about to be empty of bullets in the magazine?

Or the dagger stuck in the boot that even makes it difficult to dissect a mummy?

Or maybe this stalagmite in my hand...

etc? There seems to be something wrong with this stalagmite...

Ke Lan noticed that the attacks of the Seed of Erosion were basically aimed at the right half of his body. Whenever he adjusted his face, the Seed of Erosion would move clockwise with him as the center... At first, Ke Lan thought it was because He was holding a gun in his right hand, but when he thought about it, this gun posed no threat to the Seed of Corrosion at all, and there was no need for it to use the hand holding the gun as its primary target...

It was avoiding the stalagmite held in its left hand!

This stalagmite held it against the ground for decades. During these decades, the seeds of erosion could not be resurrected. But as soon as Ke Lan pulled out the stalagmite, the thing came back to life. This is so obvious!

There is definitely something weird about this stalagmite! The Seeds of Corrosion are afraid of it!

Ke Lan immediately raised the stalagmite in his hand and pointed it at the Seed of Erosion. The next second, the Seed of Erosion actually took a step back. More than a dozen tentacles tensed up, ready to go. It seemed to be extremely powerful. I'm afraid of Ke Lan's appearance.

"No...it's not me it's afraid of, it's the thing in my hand..."

Ke Lan glanced at the stalagmite in his hand. This stalagmite was light gray in color and rough in texture. It looked like ordinary limestone and weighed about the same. If there was anything special about it, it probably only had Those scaly textures on the surface - generally stalagmites are deposited from calcium carbonate dissolved in water. The surface textures are roughly in the shape of annual rings. Rows of rows like this are really rare.

By the way... Since there are things like stalagmites, does that mean there is still a cave on this desert island?

If there were a large number of such stalagmites in the cave, it would be an excellent shelter - just such a stalagmite would make the Seed of Erosion fear like this. If the cave was full, the Seed of Erosion would definitely be able to hide. Far away.

But the question is...where the hell is this cave?

I have been feeling a little unwell these past few days, and my bones occasionally feel sore. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or something else. In short, I feel a little anxious. I decided to go to the hospital for a review tomorrow. A blood draw will help me feel more at ease.

To be honest, I am really afraid of death. The chance of recurrence is like a time bomb. I don’t know when it will explode. It may be the next second, or it may not explode in my lifetime.

In short, I hope everyone takes good care of their bodies and don't regret it when they fall ill.

PS: I won’t stop updating tomorrow. I’m just going to do a blood routine. If there are any abnormalities that require hospitalization for further examination, I will notify you separately.
