Gu Ningzhi looked at the size of the footprints and thought it was very possible that it was a woman... Does this planet also have creatures similar to humans? But the previous space camera has no relevant display. From the slightly blurred image, it is far from human beings.

With doubts in his heart, Gu Ningzhi looked for the past along his footprints. The "trees" in his sight were still dense and numerous, and the surrounding air decreased by one degree almost every 100 meters. Now it was almost approaching zero! What the hell is this?

"If I were you, I would leave the planet as soon as possible. This is not a place for you children to play." finally, the footprints disappeared. Gu Ningzhi suddenly woke up and made a defensive gesture. At this time, a slightly dumb voice came from the air, with unspeakable ridicule, as if laughing at an idiot who was looking for a dead end.

"Who are you?" Gu Ningzhi quickly left the place, and the next moment appeared on the branch of a "tree", just at the same level as the person who suddenly spoke, "are you... Human or..."

Half way through the question, his eyes suddenly focused on the hand of the man covered in a loose white cloak. Is that... Smart brain? This discovery makes Gu Ningzhi basically rule out the possibility that the other party is indigenous. However, he did not have the joy of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land". Instead, he became more vigilant and tightened his back, "who are you?"

"A person who kindly told you to get out of here." the other party's hand stretched out from the gap of the cloak. His fingers were slender and slender, but his skin was slightly pale. Even the cyan blood vessels were clearly visible, like malnutrition. "Listen to me, this place is very dangerous. You'd better not joke about your life and the lives of everyone on the high-altitude ship!"

"Why should I believe your words? Or do you think you do what you say, and I'm a fool without intelligence. An unfounded threat can scare me away?" Gu Ningzhi didn't feel the malice emanating from the other party, so he didn't take the initiative to attack.

"With half your feet stepping into the hell hall now!" the man's voice changed and seemed to play tricks with people with some ease. "Do you know what this thing is under your feet? Hehe, although it looks ugly and harmless, in fact..."

The other party paused here. Gu Ningzhi waited for a while without waiting for the other party's follow-up, "what actually?"

"In fact... Before you arrived, the creatures on the whole planet had been swallowed up by the things under your feet." the other party smiled and said the same thing to Gu Ningzhi, so it was a fantasy.

"Do you know what this planet looked like two years ago? It is very beautiful and rich in materials. Although the creatures living here are only some wild animals, they have their own biological cycles. Over time, maybe it can give birth to real intelligent creatures."

Gu Ning was silent. He suddenly understood where his initial worries and foreboding came from. Although space camera has limitations, it has high definition and comprehensive shooting. According to the law of development between planets, if such a rich planet really breeds organisms, the number must be very objective. But according to the camera results, only some shadows were vaguely photographed

"If... This thing could really devour creatures, I would have died, wouldn't I?" Gu Ning retorted with a sneer, "after all, I cut off one of the guys and took some liquid..."

"Because there is still the light of stars... If it's night now, you can stay here and try to prove whether what I said is correct." the man continued, "according to the day and night law of the planet, it will be about two hours before night. Then the truth will come out, but your life will be gone."

Although Gu Ningzhi didn't believe it, he still secretly contacted Li you and asked him to issue a withdrawal order later to let the exploration team return to the base camp first. The ships of the expeditionary army are at an altitude of kilometers. These things on the ground should not threaten anything.

"Little squid, I have a startling discovery now. The plot is very serious. You let the exploration team retreat in ten minutes. After nightfall, the planet should have a different scene..." Gu Ningzhi's words, Li you rarely objects. Even if it is like this, he issued orders in a disguised form beyond his authority, "I have to stay on the planet for one night to continue exploring and contact after dawn!"

Li you frowned at the message. He was not unhappy with the other party's words, but

"The data of this planet is not perfect. It's not too much to say it's dangerous. I don't trust you to stay here alone." while replying to Gu Ning, Li you issued a termination order to the exploration team, "and I don't know what the environment will be like after nightfall. It's really reckless of you to do so. Tell me, what's wrong!"

"It's just my personal guess. If it's easy to say it, it may cause people's feelings to fluctuate." Gu Ning was vague. Anyway, he and Li you always give in to each other after they get stuck, and this time is no exception, "I'm sure to protect myself. Don't worry so much, little squid. Be careful that the eyebrow wrinkles double... If you don't trust me, I'll count it off once an hour..."

Even if Li you is angry, he can't do anything about the other party. Anyway, this guy never does anything uncertain. It's a waste of emotion to care too much! Thinking of this, Li youmian pressed down his inner worries and continued to be expressionless.

After finishing this, Gu Ningzhi shrugged at the other party and said, "although it means to joke about your life, curiosity killed the cat. I would feel very sorry if I didn't witness it. I think even if what you said is true, these things are not so terrible? Otherwise, how did you survive here?"

The other party stood still for a long time. She turned smartly, simply said "keep up", and then quickly walked in a certain direction. To Gu Ningzhi's surprise, the other party's seems to be "malnourished", but its strength is very good.

"If you want to witness the truth, the perspective of this position is very good." when you come to a bare and steep mountain, Gu Ningzhi can easily see those strange "trees" gathered together with abnormal density by taking advantage of the high altitude. "I hope you can keep calm after reading... Some things you don't know don't mean it doesn't exist..."

Gu Ningzhi said that the last sentence seemed familiar, and it seemed that a woman surnamed Su had also said it.

It was very difficult to wait for the night. Gu Ningzhi sat cross legged on the ground and looked at the "Woods" under the cliff motionless. At this time, the mysterious cloak man had untied his cloak and revealed a slightly thin and gloomy face.

"Ah... You're a woman?" Gu Ningzhi said in surprise when he saw the other party in a simple and strange dress and a long shape thing hanging on his waist. "You... Really can't see it. I thought it was a man."

"I'm a woman. What's your business?" the other party took out a small strip from his arms and opened it to reveal a syringe filled with crimson liquid. In Gu Ning's ghost eyes, the other party skillfully stabbed the needle into the vein of his arm.

"You... This thing is... Nutrient concentrate?" Gu Ningzhi could suddenly understand how the other party was so malnourished. Nutrient concentrate is generally used for first aid. It can provide the nutrition needed by the human body and maintain its efficacy for several days. Few people regard it as "food", which even the expeditionary army can't do. Can look at each other's appearance, it seems very familiar.

"Things on this planet can hardly be imported. Do I want to die if I don't do this?" she raised her eyelids faintly and sneered, "don't tell me that you intend to replenish supplies when you land on this planet..."

"Isn't this obvious?" Gu Ning subconsciously felt that the other party seemed to know a lot of secrets. The geographical location of the planet is too remote. If it is not required by the mission, the expeditionary army will not come to this place.

But what about the man opposite? What is her purpose? Why did it appear on this remote planet?

"Those things... Seem to be many, but in fact they are just a plant called 'mother tree'." the man said hard and distant, "At the beginning, it was just a tree. After taking deep roots, it dived into the low to absorb energy. At the same time, the root system grew up wrongly and developed countless' sub trees'. These 'sub trees' and' mother trees' are one body. In order to grow and evolve, they need to swallow more energy. These energy can be animals, plants or minerals containing energy..."

At this time, the afterglow was already slanting down and his vision was a little dim. Gu Ningzhi saw that the "trees" in the distance seemed to be summoned, woke up from deep sleep and stretched his waist... The endless branches were creeping and intertwined, and he was thrilled to hear the voice of cables. When he thought of the woman's words... The "trees" of the whole planet were actually just a "mother tree"

If so, how huge is the "mother tree"?

"There is endless energy in the depths of the earth. As long as this' mother tree 'is allowed to absorb for decades, the whole planet will fall into complete extinction, and this' mother tree'... Will also show the most ferocious ferocity!"

If Su Jiameng were here, he would agree very much. The mother tree is a wonderful thing in the Zerg, and it is also excluded by all Zerg. When a mother tree develops to the end, it will occupy the whole planet, and all creatures except itself are within the range of phagocytosis. Therefore, many times, the mother tree will be attacked by the Zerg and finally die.

In the last generation, Su Jiameng knew the mother tree, or was it because the human alliance once faced a mother tree at the level of insect emperor, with heavy casualties.

The mother tree is also one of the fastest evolving and most threatening Zerg! Because the other is rooted deep underground, it is not easy to find the trunk and destroy it. If you can't kill the trunk, that is, the core of the mother tree, it's useless to kill any more sub trees.

"I seem to have heard of this creature..." Gu Ningzhi murmured. It seems that Su Jiameng used to say that the Zerg is this virtue? A terrible race that evolved rapidly by swallowing?
