Trisolarans: Trisolarans with the hard steel of the earth

"...No, it's the hot season now, and the surface is safe!"

The shy Gredo panicked, and said, "I, I'm leaving now, the craftsman needs it urgently."

"Wait! I'm going with you?!"

Although Gredo talked left and right, it was obvious that Geona would not compromise so easily.

In the end, he still couldn't resist, and took Geona and left the tribe.

With the help of the dim light from the core of their chests, the two Gliese people walked around the dark and labyrinthine underground cave road, and it took almost an hour to reach the surface from a depth of several hundred meters.

Gredo poked his head out of the small hole vigilantly, and a burst of cold and smelly gas came.

The air on the surface contains a large amount of ammonia, which has a metabolic effect in the organs of the Tatako people. The Tatako people call it a delicious stench.

Seeing that there was no danger on the surface, Gredo got out and pulled Geona out of the cave.

This is not a morality that puts women first, but a battle queue in which the weak are at the front and the strong are at the back.

The surface is bare and barren, with only red clods and gravel.

There are almost no plants on the surface of Gliese 581d, replaced by various invisible bacteria. Through chemical reactions in the body, these bacteria act as producers in Gliese's fragile ecosystem.

The two didn't dare to delay, they didn't have time to look at the rare surface scenery around them, but lowered their heads and began to search for the green and purple stones.

There are thick clouds in the sky, covering the dim sun as big as a millstone.

The two of them were always on guard, guarding against any beasts that might emerge from the pile of rocks.

If a tribe loses in the competition for resources, the weak will be driven out of the ground, regardless of age, to the surface, and the young and middle-aged will be left as slaves.

And those old and young on the surface, it is almost impossible to survive a day.

On the one hand, the torrential rain and sudden ice in the cold season will freeze them into stones, and on the other hand, there is the threat of man-eating beasts.

Even if an entire tribe of powerful warriors were all wearing armor and carrying knives, they might not be able to hunt a man-eating beast, let alone a young or old man who had no combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, most of these man-eaters live on the surface, and only burrow into the ground when they are extremely hungry.

Therefore, it is necessary to abandon some Tatako people on the surface from time to time.

If the two of them encountered a man-eater, they could only hope that they would run faster.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the blessing of the lava god, they didn't see any creatures along the way.

But also did not find the kind of rock that the craftsman needed.

"It's weird, how come there is no such thing? When I came to the surface to hunt last time, this kind of thing was everywhere..."

Geona muttered.

"It should be that the rain and snow in the last cold season were too heavy, and those stones were washed away."

Although Gredo was still vigilant, his eyes drifted to Geona who was beside him from time to time.

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

"No, no! Didn't see anything!"

"I clearly saw you looking at me!" Geona's bright yellow pupils moved violently:

"Do you think I've taken a fancy to you? Want to mate with you?"

"Huh?" Greedo almost sat on the ground, and a large piece of scale was almost shaken off.

"Hmph, how could I have taken a liking to a rookie like you? It's so ridiculous." Geona looked down at him, her tone pretending to be disdainful: "When you become a craftsman, I might think about it."

"me……"

Gredo didn't know what to say, his eyes were floating, he suddenly focused, and shouted: "I saw it!"

Geona froze for a moment, then looked in that direction.

Not far away, green, purple, and red stones piled up a small hill, even higher than the inner space of the tribal cave.

"Great!"

Geona slapped her tail on the ground excitedly: "There are so many disheveled stones, take them back and the craftsman will definitely let you inherit his position!"

"Um!!"

Gredo rushed over excitedly, although he faintly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but whatever.

The two sprinted very fast, and they reached the hill made of colorful rocks in a short while.

They took out a bag made of some kind of animal fur, and excitedly put the stones in it.

"I said why I couldn't see it all the way, it turned out that it was all piled up here..."

Geona kept moving, and said with great interest: "Do you know why the craftsman asked you to collect such things?"

"It should be related to forging..."

Gredo suddenly stopped what he was doing, and said seriously, "Why are these stones gathered here?"

"How can there be so many reasons? Hurry up and pretend, go back early..."

rumbling...

The hill shook suddenly, and rocks rolled down.

The two hurriedly avoided, but saw a huge monster on the top of the mountain, with its mouth open like a black hole, and its fangs gleamed coldly.

"Man-eater!!!" The two of them lost their souls, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately dropped the bag full of stones in their hands and ran towards the entrance of the cave with all their strength.

"Roar..."

The man-eating beast had no eyes, and its neck was even longer than its body. It stood on all fours and had an ice-blue shell that was covered in frost. The big mouth on its ferocious head was enough for it to swallow several people at the same time.

Wrapped by a large piece of falling rocks, the man-eating beast raised its ferocious claws and quickly climbed down the rocky mountain.

Even though its stature was more than ten times that of an ordinary Tatako, the speed of the man-eating beast was like the wind, and with a foul-smelling wind, it rushed towards the two of them on its deformed four-legged.

If it goes on like this, it won't even take half a minute for the two of them to be caught up by it, and then they will undoubtedly become its food.

"you go!"

Thinking of this, Gredo stopped resolutely and shouted: "Go!"

"..." Geona turned her head in despair. This is the rule of the tribe. Once encountering a strong enemy, the weak must sacrifice themselves to protect the strong from fleeing.

"Fart rules!"

Geona took out the fiery stone wrapped in the crevices of her body, and was about to place it on the core of her chest, entering a desperate state of "burning blood".

But in an instant... the clouds in the sky suddenly burst open!

Chapter 113

The thick clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart by a big hand, exposing the dull sunlight.

The eyesight of Tatako people has been severely degraded due to years in underground caves, and they can only roughly distinguish the outline color of objects.

In the eyes of the two, they saw a mysterious "monster" flying rapidly in the air that they had never seen before.

That monster looks like... like a magnified raindrop?

Even though they were still far away in the sky just now, the monster arrived in front of the two of them in less than a blink of an eye...

The absolutely smooth surface reflected the figures of Gredo and Geona, and the drop-shaped thing just stopped above their heads, motionless...

The two aliens from the Stone Age had never seen such a thing, and they seemed to be in a daze.

But this kind of beast with no intelligence and no vision in the human hand didn't care. Without hesitation, it continued to open its huge mouth and rushed towards the two.

It even arched its back and spread out its wing-like meat membranes, allowing it to accelerate further...

Just when the man-eater was about to pounce on the two of them, there was a slight buzzing sound in the air...

With a bang, the man-eating beast collided with the water drop that appeared in an instant, screamed, and fell all over the place, but the water drop didn't even move...

"..."

The two Gliese looked at each other, and they both saw incomprehensible confusion in each other's bright yellow eyes.

The man-eating beast's brain was not enough for it to understand what happened, so it rushed over again with a hiss.But no matter where it rushes, it will always hit water droplets that are as fast as teleportation.

This weird situation didn't last long.

There was a burst of fire, and something seemed to fall from the sky, like a puddle of liquid, smashing a hole in the nearby ground.But the liquid will flow by itself, quickly reaching the man-eating beast's feet, quickly forming a cage, imprisoning it...

"This……"

The two Gliese were fixed in place like stones, and the man-eating beast that dozens of people might not be able to kill, was just imprisoned like this?

What is that drop?What is that deformable liquid...

"All right, all right, stop barking."

The two turned their heads in an instant and looked in the direction of the voice.

It was a giant who stepped out of the light...

(In the eyes of the Gliese, whose average height is just over one meter, human beings are giants.)

The giant was frighteningly tall, almost as tall as two people, and his whole body was made of metal. His head was transparent, and there was a strange-looking creature inside...

"Stop yelling, you kid doesn't know if it's good luck or bad luck."

The giant muttered something in the direction of the ogre.

"Water drops are like tearing apart a starship for fun, but they are actually used to deal with a beast..."

"After you go back, you can brag about X with your friends, saying that you and the starship are [-]-[-]..."

"Oh no, you probably won't be able to go back."

"Da Shi, you are all bored, hurry up and send the samples into the spaceship." Sophon showed Ding Yi's annoyed words:

"Biologists are eager to study the body structure of this thing."

Da Shi, who was wearing a nano-exoskeleton (extraterrestrial exploration type), chuckled: "I know, I know. It's not like I haven't been active for decades, and my legs and feet are a bit inflexible."

The cage made of nanorobots ignored the cannibal's struggle and brought it into the isolation compartment of the spacecraft.

At this time, the two Gliese who were stiff at the side came to their senses.
