Chapter 62 The Overlord of the Water

Among Arachi creatures, most species cannot survive in water, but this does not mean that organisms will die when they enter the water. In fact, Arachi creatures rely entirely on the energy stored in their bodies for survival and do not require breathing. The reason for saying this is because the existing organisms evolved completely according to the genes of terrestrial organisms, and their role is also to survive on land. Once they enter underwater, their body structure cannot guarantee normal activities in water at all.

However, Arachi Biological Culture obviously does not ignore this point, so there are some very powerful underwater species stored in the gene bank of the breeding tower.

The reason why Zhu Tianxing was so anxious to upgrade the breeding tower was to reproduce this creature.

According to the news sent back by the mages, although Zhu Tianxing was not absolutely sure that the lakes in the forest contained elemental crystal mines, he still eagerly hoped to enter underwater for exploration.

The Octopus is the only underwater creature among the Arachi creatures.

It is very huge in shape, somewhat similar to the octopus on the earth, and its body is cystic; its head and body are not clearly divided, with large compound eyes and 8 retractable wrists. The length of each wrist can reach a hundred meters if it is straightened, and there are two rows of fleshy suction cups on it. The average number of suction cups on each tentacle is more than 600. The base of the wrist is connected to a webbed tissue called a skirt, and there is an mouth at the center. There is a pair of sharp keratinous palates on the mouth.

The eight-clawed beasts travel very fast in the water. They can rely on the contraction of their cystic bodies to squeeze out the water inside, thereby achieving the purpose of moving in the water. Moreover, eight super-long giant wrists can also be absorbed on any object for crawling. The armor on their bodies is somewhat different from the species on the ground. Although they are soft, their toughness is very strong, and they are even more powerful in defense than the tank bugs that have just been transformed.

Moreover, this layer of soft armor can also resist various harmful substances in the water. Since they do not require breathing, they can move freely even in even the harsh environment.

During attack, the octopus relies on its strong wrist to entangle the target creature or object. If it is a creature, the suction cup above can secrete a strongly corroded solution acid, which can instantly melt the target creature. However, if it is an object, especially some advanced civilization ships, if there is a powerful energy shield on it, the effect of the suction cup appears very weak. At this time, they entangle the target, drag it into the water, and then use a pair of sharp keratinous palates to directly destroy the energy shield.

However, the octopus beasts have more than that. They hide many pigment cells under their skin, containing different colors of liquids, and several dilators in each pigment cell, which can expand or shrink pigment cells. Therefore, they have a very amazing color change ability. It can change the color of its soft armor at any time to make it coordinate with the surrounding environment. It can even become transparent.

This ability undoubtedly adds excellent concealment to the Eight-Clawed Beast.

Such a powerful creature makes it the only water overlord in the Arachi biological civilization.

Even after listening to Tina's introduction, Zhu Tianxing felt that there was no need to add underwater species. After all, most civilizations are based on land, and only on planets with special environments can the eight-clawed beast play its powerful role.

When the main breeding tower was upgraded, Zhu Tianxing immediately rode on the dragon and came to the lake deep in the Kechila Forest. He built a breeding tower by the lake.

In fact, for the eight-clawed beast, it is not impossible to move on land, but its special body structure has caused it to travel very slowly on land. If the breeding tower is not built to the lake, it will take until this huge guy can enter the water after a long journey.

Zhu Tianxing was obviously a little impatient.

With the sound of "puffing" breaking through the cocoon, Zhu Tianxing immediately issued an order to breed the eight-clawed beast to the larvae that just appeared.

This huge monster takes a very long time to reproduce.

Zhu Tianxing always stared at the giant spherical egg in front of him that was constantly wriggling. Almost every time he wriggled, its size increased a little. The insect egg was like a balloon that was constantly inflating, expanding rapidly in Zhu Tianxing's eyes.

After waiting for nearly a day, at noon the next day, a sound of breaking through the cocoon finally came to mind.

The first huge head appeared, which looked very ferocious, and did not have the image of an octopus in Zhu Tianxing's heart. Then, a thin film under the head cracked, and eight soft tentacles inside immediately flowed out like liquid, scattering on the surrounding ground.

Then, without waiting for Zhu Tianxing's order, he directly stepped into the water.

Through spiritual connection, this was the first time Zhu Tianxing saw the underwater scene. The lake water was not as clear as it looked on the surface and seemed a little turbid. It was also possible that the eight-clawed beast messed up the mud at the bottom of the water when it entered the water.

This also made Zhu Tianxing's mood of observing the scene in the water immediately disappear.

Then, he immediately breeds five more drone bees.

With the upgrade of the breeding tower, the appearance of the drone has also changed. Originally, there was only a short tail behind the body, but now it has increased to three. These are drones that Arachi Bio evolved specifically for underwater mines.

Zhu Tianxing was not very curious about this, because this evolution had been mentioned in Tina's introduction just now.

However, this evolution did not produce new species. In other words, this underwater drone was temporarily adjusted after receiving the command from the controller, and was almost the same as the energy consumed by the drone on land.

The five drone swayed their bodies, swung their three tails, and quickly climbed up into the lake. The moment they entered the water, they immediately scattered around, looking for the existence of silicon crystal.

Seeing this, Zhu Tianxing immediately relaxed his mood. His extreme excitement made him scream and almost jumped up.

As long as the drone leaves on his own initiative, it means that there is indeed silicon crystal at the bottom of the lake. If there is no, these drone will stay in the water and remain motionless.

As long as there is a mine in the lake, Zhu Tianxing doesn't care how much it can be. This continent also has a huge ocean. As long as this is proven, it is equivalent to solving the crisis of Zhu Tianxing's energy.

————————————————————————————————————————

The second update today is really too tiring to update every Wednesday last week. I still have work during the day, so I’m sorry to everyone here.

I saw the issue about energy in book reviews. Some friends said that the energy use of advanced civilizations should be stellar energy.

What I want to say is that this is true in the setting of the Queen Mother, but in this book, the issue of energy will be the lead of war.

If you get the so-called inexhaustible energy, then the Arachi creature will be invincible.

Therefore, in the early development, I do not agree with this energy method.

Besides, I am just writing my own book, so there is no need to write it according to the regulations in other people's books. Advanced civilizations must use star energy?

What I am afraid of is that if I really write according to the requirements of a few readers, I will not be able to write it myself, and even friends who like this book don’t want to continue reading it.

I will solve the energy problem later, but it is absolutely impossible to have a despicable energy source.
Chapter completed!
