Chapter 406: Ultimate Creature
This is a vast underground space, with fluorescent anaerobic moss growing on the surrounding stone walls, and the huge coverage tells the story of an unknown age, and the ground is not only craggy boulders formed by geological movements, but also boundless bones, crustaceans, mammals, fish, amphibians... The remains of all kinds of creatures are piled up like a cemetery where everything is buried.
The bones were so old that they could still maintain their form in a completely closed oxygen-free environment, but after Chino opened the giant hole at the top and fresh air poured into circulation, these ancient bones began to oxidize in a short time, and they disappeared in patches, like a large hand erasing the traces of their existence along the surface.
Fitch looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth opened into a round O-shape, and he couldn't help but sigh: "So many bones! What the hell is this place? Hey, if they weren't bones, they were fresh prey, enough for me to eat for a long, long time! ”
Eat? The word Fitch mentioned once again broadened Chino's thinking.
Chino looked up at the stone path that was nearly 100,000 meters deep, and then at the vast space where countless bones were piled up.
Inexplicably, he suddenly thought of the digestive organs of living beings.
Nearly 100,000 meters of deep cave stone path - esophagus.
The space underneath is so vast that you can't see the end - the stomach.
Piles of bones—undigested food.
...
Of course, this is just an unfounded speculation, at least Chino doesn't see any traces of biology now, and there is no biological possibility of a creature of this level.
But you must also know that this is a gluttonous world, and the laws of biology are completely different from other worlds.
Assuming the speculation is true, the question arises – how big is this creature?
Inhabited in the ancient earth's crust, a single esophagus is nearly 100,000 meters, and the stomach cannot even fill millions of animals... The size and form of this creature has transcended the boundaries of imagination.
If there was such a creature, would it be dead or alive now?
Judging from the scene of oxygen pouring into the underground space and the bones disappearing, this place has been sealed for an unknown amount of time, and the creature must be dead - if it is still alive, the stomach should be in a state of digestion, and it is impossible to go without functioning for so long.
If it is dead, then another question arises, what kind of existence can actually kill such a colossus beyond cognition?
This creature... Was he killed by the powerful "gluttony" from before?
Or... This creature is the former "gluttony", dying at the hands of the reincarnation?
In search of answers, Chino takes Fitch to the surface and begins to use telekinesis to dig through rock formations, lifting boulders one boulder after another.
As expected, the bones that have just disappeared are only exposed wreckage, and a large number of remains exist in geological formations, covered and wrapped in limestone, forming so-called "fossils", most of which are bone fossils, and a very small number of fleshy fossils.
If so many fossils were put in a previous life, any piece of it would be a major discovery that shocked the world, and it was an absolute priceless treasure, and the slightest damage would be a loss for the archaeological community and even all mankind.
But at this time, Chino is constantly destroying the rock formations with mental power, digging out these fossils roughly, and he doesn't care if they are broken or broken, and all the complete and broken ones are stored in the space bag.
Chino has no opinion on the value of these fossils, he only cares about the age of these fossils and the biological information contained in them, and intends to use these fossils to understand the history of species change in the gluttonous world, as well as to infer the climate and environment in different eras of history.
So, as long as there are fossils, as for whether it is so complete, Chino doesn't care, anyway, there is such a big space here, and the rock formations are full of fossils, and they can't be dug up, so they really need to study the complete fossils, and they can come and get them at any time.
In this way, Chino used his mental power to dig the ground frantically, and he was very busy.
If you want to say Fitch, it's really stupid, and when she saw that Chino was digging hard, she followed suit—by hand.
Why is Nephage not strong enough now, and her two little claws can't help this hard limestone at all.
The rocks that Chino had dug up had formed a small mountain, and she could only dig up a few fist-sized rocks.
"Hey, why are we digging up this stuff? It's all stones, and I can't eat them..."Fitch looked pitiful, and touched her hungry stomach aggrievedly, she put her hand into the hole that had been cut open, and pulled it around, hoping to pull out something delicious, but she only touched something hard, harder than a stone.
Fitch grabbed the object out, stared at it for a moment, threw it back, and cried, "How did you dig up a bullet and come out... Wow, I'm so hungry..."
Chino wanted to throw some food for Fitch, but he was suddenly stunned and asked, "Bullets?" What bullets? ”
Fitch leaned back, picked up the bullet he had just dropped, and handed it to Chino, "Oh, I just dug it up... Can I exchange it for a stutter? ”
Chino's attention was now all on the bullet, and he didn't hear the second half of Fitch's words, he took it and began to look closely.
The bullet was dug out of the rock by Fitch, covered in lime, the warhead had been consumed, and only a shell remained.
It appears here, indicating that it is from the same age as the animal bones.
But what is amazing is that there is no oxidation on the surface of the bullet, and it is as new as ever after a little washing with water, without the slightest trace of erosion by time.
The surface of the bullet was a deathly black color, and even Chino's telekinesis and death claws could not leave any traces, and he looked further at the surface of the bullet, and soon found a small mark.
Chino opens the esteem system, compares the exchangeable items, and finally confirms that the bullet belongs to the reincarnation item - the collapsed warhead.
This is a special ammunition for firearms, and the price is 100 million respect points - 100 million here does not mean that 100 million respect points are required to exchange for firearms, but it means that 100 million respect points are required to exchange such 1 bullet.
The collapse warhead will not have any photothermal effect after hitting the target, but will form a huge gravitational field, which will destroy the atomic structure of the internal matter and squeeze and shrink, and finally break through the repulsive force between the electrons and cause the target to collapse.
It's such a small bullet in front of you, and one shot can make a city collapse directly into a hollow.
A weapon of this level is impossible for ordinary reincarnators to use, the consumption is too great, and the long-accumulated family funds will be gone after one shot.
The only way to use the Collapse Warhead is to use a very small number of teams that have too many bonus points to spend and really have nothing to exchange for will use this expensive Ultimate Killer as a consumable.
Combined with the previous intelligence analysis, it can basically be concluded that the imaginary giant that devoured hundreds of millions of lives is the previous generation of "gluttony".
And this collapsed warhead belongs to the group of reincarnators who successfully hunted "gluttony".
Whether this collapsed warhead directly caused the death of gluttony is unknown.
But for sure, this is one of the traces left by their battles.
