Chapter 123 Metamorphosis

Half a day later, everyone returned tiredly, dragging the badly damaged Raging Wave mecha.

Li Yi didn't expect that he would become a crow's mouth.

In the second group, Zhang Baili and Long Qizhen's divine mechas were also damaged, and they came together.

When Guan Shanyue saw Li Yi, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Li Yi, Brother Li! Your bad words really came true. We really ran into an unexpected situation."

Li Yi asked curiously: "What accident?"

"In the hidden passage on that wall, there are actually six dormant guard mechas."

"Each one was at a height of about 120 meters, and the automatic program was skillfully operated, with a high attack and defense intensity. We were caught off guard and suffered a great loss."

Guan Shanyue smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, everyone is so helpful, otherwise Zhang Baili would have to explain himself."

Long Qizhen felt guilty and said:

"This is my fault. I clearly sensed some uneasy aura, but I didn't remind everyone in time. As soon as I was distracted, the six guard mechas immediately launched an attack."

After asking about his injuries, I learned that Zhang Baili was seriously injured and dying.

If he hadn't prepared the life-saving potion in advance to stimulate his body's potential, he might not have survived.

Although the situation has stabilized now, he must be sent back to the logistics department quickly to rest and replenish his nutrition.

Therefore, after a few words of instruction, the people in Group 2 did not stay any longer and continued to rush back.

Teng Juli is in pretty good condition, except that the elbow of his mecha was cut off. It will take at least four days to automatically reconnect it.

Long Qizhen's injuries were lighter, and it would only take one day to basically heal the damage to the Divine Mecha.

Li Yi asked: "Then why didn't you come back after destroying one or two of them? With your strength and configuration, you should be able to fight back against a 120-meter guard mecha, right?"

"Each of them has a C-level divine weapon."

Chen Qiong shook his head and said, "B-class mechas, combined with C-class divine weapons, have extremely strong lethality. Even if we can defeat one or two of them, it would only be a miserable victory. Most of them would probably be killed or injured, which would not be worth the loss."

Li Yi's eyes lit up. A C-level divine weapon? This is a good thing.

If we can conquer it, wouldn't it be like upgrading our muskets to more powerful ones?

His E-rank Zanpakuken is good, but even with his skills, going up to C-rank is pretty much his limit.

It would be fine if you were just fighting a divine creature, but if you were fighting a divine mecha, the hard layer of armor would not be easy to break.

Li Yi said: "Thinking about it carefully, everyone must have suffered from insufficient intelligence. If we are fully prepared next time, we should be able to deal with the opponent, right?"

Chen Qiongzhi nodded and said, "No hurry, let's wait for them to recover first, we still have time. Li Yi, while you are deciphering, don't neglect your cultivation, it's best to enter the middle level as soon as possible."

Li Yi said: "I should be almost at the middle position. I have been replenishing the divine radiation of other sequences these two days. I estimate that it will be successfully condensed either today or tomorrow."

This time when he entered down there, he didn't encounter any decent battles, which ruined Li Yi's plan to reach the middle level within three days.

However, even without a fight, he could use the nutrients and fragments of the divine nucleus carried in the cockpit to receive radiation during the gaps in decoding.

Therefore, over the past few days, he was only one step away from the middle position.

I just don’t know what characteristics this tenth divine gene will have.

However, Liang Zhishen found Li Yi's understatement outrageous:

"It's only been a little over a week since you condensed your ninth divine gene. How come you condensed your tenth gene so quickly?"

Li Yi said: "Fast? I think it's too slow."

Liang Zhishen: "...Okay, I underestimated your talent. Just pretend I never said anything."

The people around heard this conversation, but they didn't think it was too special.

It is quite common that after condensing one, one happens to be lucky enough to condense the next one quickly. It would be outrageous if every one of them maintained this speed.

…

Because the exploration of hidden passages was blocked and other areas had been explored for the time being, everyone was temporarily stuck in a rhythm of having nothing to do.

Except for Li Yi who was concentrating on deciphering and receiving radiation from different divine nuclei from time to time, everyone else simply lay down and took a rest.

Because they were lying flat, several people made new discoveries.

At the eighth standard hour this afternoon, the entire space of the sixth level was still bright and did not seem to be getting dim.

At this moment, Liang Zhishen suddenly exclaimed: "It's a bit strange. I've been here for a long time and I feel dizzy! Do the rest of you feel it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people who were resting in the cockpit were suddenly startled and woke up from their resting state.

Everyone who wakes up realizes the abnormality of his or her own sleeping state.

There was a feeling of falling out of control.

“It’s true.”

Guan Shanyue frowned and said, "I stayed here for a while, and I felt drowsy without realizing it. When I first felt drowsy, I thought it was because I was overloaded from driving the divine mecha for a long time."

Chen Qiongzhi quickly understood what was going on and shouted, "Everyone, stop resting and wake up immediately. If you fall asleep in this state, it may be difficult to wake you up."

The rest of the people were also awakened immediately.

Zhou Changling frowned and said, "You almost got me, an old man, into trouble. Is it the problem with this relic?"

Chen Qiongzhi said: "It should be that the rate of change of matter here is too slow. As outsiders, we can't feel it for a while."

"But if you stay here for too long and relax your mind, your brain will slowly slow down, and you might fall into a deep sleep like those giant divine creatures! You need specific conditions to wake up."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in approval.

Apart from this, there is really no other explanation for this collective lethargy.

Although Li Yi had fallen asleep, he quickly entered the dream plain and absorbed memory fragments to replenish the consumption.

Therefore, he did not have this special feeling these days.

Guan Shanyue, Zhou Changling and others who helped him to guard had been rotated several times before, so they did not let their guard down and did not feel anything.

Until today, everyone was here, there was nothing to explore, and the danger had been eliminated, so we needed to rest, and finally we relaxed a little.

Chen Qiongzhi asked: "Li Yi, why don't you ask those ant-fly people how they solve the problem of material change rate?"

"good."

After a while, Li Yi, who had asked a group of ant-fly people, frowned and said, "They said that they have not encountered similar situations, and they just eat and sleep normally."

"Are you sure?"

Li Yi said firmly: "Sure."

Chen Qiongzhi pondered for a moment and said:

"It seems that as we go deeper into the ruins, some unexpected risks are also increasing. In this case, Li Yi, just in case, you take the Ant Fly Man out of the ruins and decipher it in the logistics area."

"Once the results are out and the others have recovered, we will enter this level to explore. We will first capture the six guys with divine weapons. Taking their divine weapons will also allow us to exchange them for some equipment."

Immediately, the mechas did not stay any longer and headed back.

Li Yi, naturally, also packed up the dozens of ant-fly people he had captured before into a temporary special alloy house and took them away.

As for the alloy house, it was naturally cut with the Zanpakutō and then welded with the help of the burning properties of teammates.

Although rough, it is indeed strong.

…

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Logistics rest point in cabin 18.

Li Yi sat on a pile of fragments of the divine nucleus and received the radiation.

Because a lot of items had been transported over these days, Li Yi did not hand over all the items at once to determine their value.

Instead, he kept some for his own cultivation. As for how to reduce the share later, that was just a small problem.

The serious thing to do is to use the current resources for cultivation first.

suddenly.

Deep within the body's genetic sequence, a section of gene glows faintly.

Li Yi's eyes lit up, knowing that the time had come, and he immediately drank gulps of the Jingyu No. 3 potion he had prepared in advance.

Tons of tons of tons.

With the addition of massive amounts of non-toxic nutrient solution, this gene became brighter and brighter.

Until one moment——

Boom!!! Boom!!! In my mind, a sound as loud and majestic as a huge bell seemed to ring out.

Immediately afterwards, the tenth divine gene emitted light completely.

With the appearance of this divine gene, the previous nine genes also resonated and emitted huge vibrations.

During the vibration, countless fragments of information radiate to cells throughout the body, causing drastic changes.

"Advancing to the middle level, will the qualitative change be so drastic?"

Li Yi felt that every cell in his body was howling with hunger and he wished he could drink more and more nutritional potions.

He then took out the more than 300 tubes of Jingyu No. 3 that he had previously stored, and drank them as if he were drinking alcohol.

After drinking nearly two hundred and forty tubes, his body seemed to be saturated and reached its limit.

Of course, these 240 tubes are not to be drunk in one breath.

Instead, I drank while going to the bathroom to urinate. I was in a strange state where hunger and fullness coexisted for more than half an hour before it finally ended.

But this doesn't seem to be the end for Li Yi yet.

It seems that those nutrient solutions are just for storing the energy generated by the body's evolutionary changes.

As he finished the last tube, he felt as if his body was burning.

Burning away certain impurities, burning the essence of life, causing it to transform.

This process is by no means imperceptible.

On the contrary, this feeling was very deep! It was as if I had really jumped into a sea of ​​fire. Even though there was no fire around me, my skin, flesh, bones, nerves, all felt intense pain.

After more than half an hour, when the feeling of extreme heat subsided, the biting feeling of extreme cold, extreme freezing, and extreme hell came all over the body.

"According to what we learned before, the qualitative change from the initial stage to the intermediate stage should be very gentle and last for a whole day, right?"

"Besides, the qualitative change shouldn't cause such a big reaction in the body?"

"Shit, is this a special qualitative change that only occurs after breaking the limit for the second time?"

Even Li Yi, whose soul was many times stronger than those of his peers, rolled over in pain, as if he was enduring some form of torture.

"No, it's probably because I'm receiving too many types of divine radiation."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the painful feelings did not ease until he entered the dream plain.

In this way, Li Yi endured seven special body changes, including extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme numbness, extreme lightness, extreme growth, and extreme change.

Finally, the transformation is over.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Li Yi stood on the soft training ground, raised his right hand in front of his eyes, and slightly stimulated the characteristics of the tenth divine gene.

Suddenly, the entire middle finger became soft like mud.

Then, he manipulated the divine characteristics and continued to change.

Then, the finger suddenly stood up and swelled like a balloon, becoming long and thick.

I reached out and touched it, feeling the texture, and continued to change it, and found that it could be soft or hard, short or long.

"It's quite interesting. It's indeed divine radiation comparable to Class B. It's only been a few days since I received it, but it has enabled me to generate the corresponding divine genes so quickly."

"The total amount of divine power consumed to transform a finger is not much, so it is acceptable. However, if the whole body is transformed, it will probably only last for a few seconds before fading away."

"Also, the fluctuation cannot be too large."

"Fortunately, in actual combat, it can be used locally, so there is no need to worry about high consumption."

"This should be the divine gene of the Alien God sequence, right? I wonder how to name it?"

…

Cabin 18.

Inside a small gravity training ground.

"Grande Fairy AI, help me activate 18 times gravity."

"18 times the gravity is beyond the tolerance limit of a first-level evolver. Please confirm whether the command is correct."

"I have advanced to the middle level of evolution. Give me the updated information and activate 18 times gravity."

"Received. Testing now... The test has passed. You have 10 divine genes, which means you can be activated. However, 18 times the gravity is still a heavy load. Do you want to continue?"

"Open."

"Okay, it's turned on."

As the voice of the Guangmo Ai fairy fell to the ground, with a buzzing sound, heavy pressure instantly fell on Li Yi.

However, he only sank his shoulders slightly before regaining his balance.

Generally speaking, before the upper evolution, the condensation of a divine gene means that the gravity that can be endured is doubled.

When one reaches a higher level of evolution, each additional one can increase the ability to withstand gravity by 2 times.

"Yes, although this transformation was a bit painful, the effect is real."

Li Yi smiled.

Although he could previously use 8 missiles to match the speed and strength of 14 missiles, now he can use 10 missiles to match 18 missiles, which is obviously a greater improvement.

Moreover, judging from his physical performance, he clearly still has some energy left.

Perhaps it would not be a problem to withstand the gravity of 19 or 20 missiles.

However, although the test could still continue, Li Yi still asked the Guangmo Fairy AI to turn off the gravity generator.

Although his confidentiality level is not low, for safety reasons, there is no need to reveal too much in a non-home environment.

As far as Li Yi knows, the Yao Chi series AI is only the third-tier AI in the Yao Chi ship. Although it is very good, there is still a risk of being hacked.

In comparison, Xiaoyao and Xiaochi ai are relatively reliable at present.

In addition to physical strength, Li Yi noticed that when his body used various divine skills and divine special effects, he felt more smooth and at ease.

Obviously, the seven kinds of divine genes he currently possessed were involved in the transformation of his body, making his body more compatible.

“No wonder the children born to the Quan Clan are more likely to match various divine mechas and more likely to activate various divine skills.”

After experiencing the transformation, Li Yi deeply felt the wonder and horror of genes.

Just by changing some genetic information, the body can undergo such big changes.

"No matter what, keep working hard."

…

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

On this day, Li Yi was in the cockpit of the Pluto mecha, preparing to finish the decryption work.

It is said that Mo Lihong's memory restoration work has achieved initial results.

Although Li Yi was curious about what happened, he was very patient and still methodically settled the ant-fly people. He continued to obtain their language materials and translated the last few difficult words.

At the same time, under Liang Zhishen's suggestion, the translation content materials, details, processes and other details were compiled into a series of papers and uploaded to the academic success review system of the Yao Chi ship.

According to Liang Zhishen, through this series of decryption work, he will definitely be able to obtain the title of senior decryption expert.

With this title, the military merits required for his subsequent authority upgrades will be reduced by 20% year-on-year.

In addition, various rewards and invisible benefits are worth tens of thousands of military merits.

Therefore, Li Yi also thought it was a good idea. It was just something that could be done easily, so he wrote a series of papers on the Ant-Fly Man one after another.

Moreover, there is a double happiness.

That is, as he continued to figure it out and follow up on the deciphering of a completely new voice from scratch, this experience made it much easier for him to improve his skills and obtain a large number of related memories in his dreams.

Therefore, this complex skill that he had only mastered for about a month quickly reached the proficient level. The progress was amazing! "There should be a lot of room for imagination in deciphering this skill. If it is developed well, it will definitely be of great help."

While thinking.

In the distance, Guan Shanyue and his companions came over, all with gloomy faces, and the air seemed to have become several notches lower.

Li Yi immediately asked on the public channel:

"Why, is Mo Lihong in bad condition?"

Teng Juli said: "Not good, Lao Mo has only regained his familiarity with the various skills of his body and can use them at any time, but his memory still shows no signs of recovery."

"Moreover, according to the rehabilitation experts, if his brain memory does not recover even a little bit after his physical skills are restored, then it is likely that his memory has completely disappeared, or destroyed, and it is impossible to revive it."

Li Yi immediately understood why those people had gloomy faces.

Guan Shanyue said, "It seems that we can't intervene in the foggy area of ​​the sixth level of the Tianshu Ruins. At most, we can only explore from the periphery. If we explore in depth, we may just die in vain. Li Yi, do you have any new discoveries now?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "We have basically obtained all the information we can. Now we just need to compile and organize their language system. Then, the disposal of these ant-fly people also needs to be decided by the higher-ups."

Teng Juli was surprised: "Do we need a ruling from above?"

Guan Shanyue understood what it meant and said:

"As a superior civilization to newly discovered intelligent species, we naturally need to confirm whether they will grow to threaten the survival of our species in the future. If they are confirmed to be relatively safe, we will naturally take appropriate measures to cultivate or release them."

"If it is confirmed to be unsafe, then most likely they will keep the samples and erase them later - of course, from a humanitarian perspective, the possibility of the latter is extremely low."

"But no matter what, the necessary rules and regulations must be in place."

Teng Juli suddenly realized and asked, "Even if they are released, they will keep some for the Biological Research Center, right?"

At this time, below where the few people were, in the temporary shelter of the Ant Fly Man, in the huge one-way transparent cabin, suddenly a red-eyed Ant Fly Man seemed to have sensed something and looked over. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but his lines of sight overlapped with Teng Juli’s.

At that moment, Teng Juli felt strange, as if goose bumps crawled all over his body: "Why do I feel like this ant-fly man has seen us? But isn't this one-way transparent glass?"

Li Yi said:

"There should be some individuals that can use their tentacles to sense something across the boundary, so if you feel it is looking at you, then there is no doubt that it is looking at you."

Teng Juli, the old man, couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead and said, "I always feel that research on alien intelligent species is too dangerous. You'd better be careful."

Li Yi said:

"Don't worry, I will never appear in front of them in my true form, so I suggest that next time you come to my place, if you don't have a divine mecha under your control, don't come."

Guanshan Road:

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Since Mo Lihong can't be a combat force for the time being, and the others have almost recovered, there is no need for us to wait any longer. Let's first attack the hidden passage and take down the C-level divine weapon."

"My D-level weapon has been used for too long. I've been wanting to replace it with a better one."

Teng Juli said quickly: "Coach Guan, we don't have enough people to share."

Guan Shanyue smiled and said, "It's simple. According to the combat contribution, whoever has the highest contribution will be given priority. For those who don't get to choose, we will divide the value according to their contribution and compensate them with corresponding items. Is that ok?"

Li Yi also thought that this plan was feasible and was immediately attracted to it.

His strength has greatly increased now, so he can definitely get a better C-level divine weapon.

Immediately, he said with a smile: "Instructor Guan, I will not hold back."

Guan Shanyue smiled and said, "Oh, that's great. I haven't seen your strength after the three ships' number one genius uses all his strength. From the aura on your body, it seems that you have successfully entered the middle position?"

"That's right, Instructor Guan has good eyesight!"

"Okay, let's gather quickly. When the time comes, I'll definitely get that armor-cutting sword." Guan Shanyue said bluntly.
