Chapter 8 Duan Ming's Doubts, the Insect Girl Upgrades

No matter how many ice crystals there are in this ice belt, they will be eaten up sooner or later if they are constantly swallowed by the Fire Rock Beast.

The size of the Fire Rock Beast is now more than doubled compared to before it swallowed the ice crystals.

In addition, because of the swallowing of ice crystals, the temperature of the Fire Rock Beast's body has also dropped a lot.

Although it is still far from the normal temperature suitable for human habitation on Earth, it is much better than before.

At least you don't have to stay in the base temporarily assembled by rockets all the time, and you can stand directly on the surface of the Fire Rock Beast.

In addition, under Duan Ming's control, the surface of the Fire Rock Beast, which was originally bumpy and full of sharp stones, has become flat!

Except for the lack of flowers, trees and rivers, this is just like a normal Gobi desert on Earth!

The translucent spherical shield in the air has also expanded its protection range a lot because of the increase in the size of the Fire Rock Beast.

The area where Duan Ming can move freely on the surface of the Fire Rock Beast is also much larger.

[Interstellar Creature: Large Fire Rock Beast

Current Level: Level 3

Experience Value: 1352 points/2000 points

Body Length: 326m

Skills: Absolute Obedience, Building Link

Trust Value: 87/100

Talent: Swallow Rocks, Directed Evolution, Increased Movement Speed]

With a thought, Duan Ming saw the current situation of the Fire Rock Beast.

The Fire Rock Beast is still at level 3. Even if it has eaten the ice crystals, it still has a lot of experience to upgrade to level 4.

The Fire Rock Beast that has been upgraded to level 3 has basically no changes except that it is much larger in size.

The only new talent is the mobile acceleration!

[Movement Speed ​​Increase: Increase the speed of the Fire Rock Beast by a small amount. ]

After checking the effect of this talent, Duan Ming touched his chin and was slightly disappointed.

Originally, he thought that this new talent would bring him a little surprise, but it turned out to be a simple talent.

And the speed increase is still a small amount, which makes Duan Ming even more depressed.

However, despite being depressed, Duan Ming quickly calmed down and said with relief.

"Forget it, it's impossible to be so lucky to get good talents every time I upgrade. After all, it has increased the speed of the Fire Rock Beast a little. It's better to have it than not. This way, it can explore and move faster in space..."

The last ice crystal in the ice belt was finally swallowed by the Fire Rock Beast.

After swallowing the ice belt, the size of the Fire Rock Beast finally increased by about 1.5 times compared to the beginning, and the body length stopped growing at 392m.

In addition to the effect of swallowing ice crystals, the temperature of the Fire Rock Beast's body surface dropped from the original 357℃ to about 280℃.

Although such a temperature is still not enough for humans to survive normally, the temperature has finally dropped a little.

Looking at the information displayed on the pioneer watch on his wrist, Duan Ming felt a little regretful.

"What a pity! If the Fire Rock Beast had eaten more ice crystals, perhaps the temperature would have dropped even lower, and we wouldn't even need this constant temperature stabilization system..."

"But it's good this way. At least we know that eating ice crystals can lower the temperature of the Fire Rock Beast's body surface. If we find another ice crystal ore belt later, we'll let the Fire Rock Beast eat it!"

Duan Ming reached out and gently stroked the flat ground under his feet. The Fire Rock Beast, which seemed to sense Duan Ming's touch, responded to Duan Ming with a "rumbling" sound.

Looking at the flat and wide surface of the Fire Rock Beast and the buildings built on its surface, Duan Ming's heart unconsciously rose a little bit of pride.

Unlike the theoretical experiments in school, this is a place that he created bit by bit with real materials.

It's definitely impossible to say that he doesn't have a little pride.

Clicking on the chat area casually, Duan Ming wanted to see what the other pioneers were like at this stage, or to see some useful information.

"Haha, my base has finally been upgraded to level 2!"

"Tsk, you are so slow and you still have the nerve to show off, I have already upgraded to level 2 and am preparing to upgrade to level 3."

"Bah, you are so capable, why don't you compete with that Duan Ming?!"

"Fuck, I was just attacked by a group of wild ice crystal star beasts! My planet has been destroyed! If I hadn't been lucky enough to leave in the escape pod in advance, I would have died now!"

"Brother above, I sympathize with you, my planet was also attacked, but fortunately my planet was not destroyed, but all the buildings I worked hard to build are gone!"

Looking at the chat content of the pioneers in the chat area, Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and ignored the nonsense of the quarrels in front.

He focused his eyes on the two people who said they were attacked by wild star beasts.

"Wild ice crystal star beasts?"

Pinching his chin, he recalled what he had learned about ice crystal star beasts in school.

This is a creature that has only been discovered in recent years that can survive and move in space.

It lives on a substance called ice crystal star. Although ice crystal star and ice crystal are similar in name, their functions are actually very different.

Ice crystal is mainly used as cooling material and to extract cosmic heavy water. It is a substance with extremely low temperature, similar to ice cubes on Earth.

Ice crystal star is completely different from ice crystal. Although its appearance and name are almost the same, ice crystal star emits weak heat and floats in the universe, just like plankton on Earth, it is a living substance!

It is called ice crystal star simply because its appearance is similar to ice crystal.

And the ice crystal star beast is also a creature that feeds on this kind of ice crystal star floating in space. Observations of it in recent years have also determined that it is a relatively docile cosmic creature.

Generally, it will not actively attack other things.

But now, I saw from the chat area that many people were attacked by this group of ice crystal beasts, and some almost lost their lives.

This made Duan Ming feel very puzzled, but no matter how much Duan Ming thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason.

After all, the Ice Crystal Beast was only discovered in recent years.

It is normal to have missing information about it. It is natural to think about these things with the inherent information in the book. There is no clue.

To survive in space, it ultimately depends on your ability to respond to changes and your own strength!

No longer thinking about these things, Duan Ming shook his head, sorted out his thoughts and wanted to start building his own residential base on the back of the Fire Rock Beast!

Suddenly, a system message interrupted Duan Ming's thoughts again.

[Interstellar Creatures: Zerg Exploration Base (Scientific Research)

Current Level: Level 2

Experience: 1002 points/2500 points

Body length: 1 (can switch forms)

[Primary Worker Beehive: Can produce 20 worker bees and can be driven at will. When the number of worker bees dead is less than 20, they can be replenished.]

Duan Ming's eyes lit up immediately after seeing this message. He didn't expect that the Zerg Girl would upgrade so quickly? !
