He had been wondering last time what the internal structure of these creatures, which looked like a combination of metal and biology, was like.
What Jiayan didn't know was that, just as he easily dealt with this metallic creature.
Within a radius of ten kilometers, over a hundred metal monsters rampaging on the ground seemed to receive some sort of command instantly!
Then, one by one, these monsters abandoned what they were doing and swiftly headed towards the location of Jiayan and the metallic creature attacking him!
Jiayan on this side of the boundary had no idea that the metallic creature, which had already become motionless, had actually sent a message to other metal monsters.
He was just quickly dismantling this metallic creature.
And because of Jiayan's sharp forelimbs, the metallic creature offered no resistance at all and was easily dismantled into pieces!
The speed at which Jiayan dismantled this type of metallic creature would have undoubtedly surprised human scientists studying such creatures!
Because the bodies of these creatures were very hard, yet Jiayan ignored this hardness and effortlessly cut through the creature's body as if slicing through ordinary plastic.
And Jiayan was obviously very satisfied with the sharpness of his horn-shaped claws!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A pair of forelimbs worked to dismantle. The metallic creature in front of him quickly became a pile of debris.
After carefully dismantling this metallic creature, which was about the size of a small dog, Jiayan's doubts grew stronger and stronger!
What exactly is this, machinery or life?!
This question had arisen when he first saw this metallic creature. Initially, Jiayan thought that dissecting one of these creatures would provide answers, but after dissecting one, he became even more puzzled!
Clearly, the main body of this creature was made of metal, but its body had something resembling a heart, which was still beating faintly, as if it were a real heart.
So the question arose: is this a machine or a living being?!
"Although I am a lover of biology, I am not a true biologist after all. This question is too complicated for me!" Jiayan shook his head slightly and set aside his desire to explore further.
"The rest of this creature seems not so amazing, except for being relatively hard. Could its true secret lie in this 'heart'?"
Jiayan was very curious and used his forelimbs to manipulate the creature's heart in front of him!
It was still beating faintly, giving a strong sensation of a real heart.
"Cut it open!" Not long after, Jiayan continued his work!
Since it had come to this, he must continue.
With the exceptionally sharp horn-shaped claws, he pierced the surface of the heart-like organ.
Crack!
The slight sound surprised Jiayan. This heart-like organ was exposed to the air directly; it shouldn't be so fragile. How could they defend against external attacks like this?
Jiayan found it somewhat strange. But his hand didn't slow down.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of cracking continued from inside the heart. Jiayan found that this 'heart' had become quite fragile in the short time it was held in his forelimb. It was very easy to cut open!
"It seems to become more brittle after death." Jiayan's compound eyes gleamed.
The entire heart was soon cut open!
A pile of parts resembling components scattered all over the place.
They seemed to be the parts originally in the heart, but for some reason, they shattered autonomously!
But one of the small stones emitting a faint bluish light caught Jiayan's attention!
"What is this..."
He peculiarly picked up the stone, which was about the size of an adult's fingertip, with his horn-shaped claw!
"Huh! This stone is actually attracting me!" Jiayan picked up the stone with his forelimb and immediately felt that the stone emitting a faint bluish light was actually attracting him!
It should be noted that Jiayan now was not the little mosquito that anything could attract!
But this bluish stone still attracted him, which immediately aroused Jiayan's interest!
"Haha, I haven't even figured out how to become stronger in the future, but unexpectedly, you came to me on your own!"
Jiayan's compound eyes gleamed slightly as he examined the small stone that had to be handled with care.
It seemed that this thing was the core structure of the metallic creature!
It had a rather bluish-gray color, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that a hint of blue light could be seen through the bluish-gray color!
Could this thing be related to the azure crystal?
Jiayan's heart stirred, and his mood became even more solemn. He could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some connection behind all this, as if his mutation process was also related to these miraculous things!
"But do I need to worry about all this? No need! It's precisely because of these things that I am who I am now! Without these things, how could I have evolved from an ordinary mosquito to what I am now?"
The gleam in Jiayan's compound eyes flickered, and then he became determined!
Since this bluish-gray stone seemed to have some effect on him, he would collect more of these things in the future. Although he felt instinctively that this small stone did not have much effect on him, at this point, he had become so powerful that even the previous purple-red liquid and black liquid would hardly evoke any instinctive reaction from him.
And this bluish-gray stone still had benefits for him, indicating it was another opportunity for mutation!
Thinking of this, the gleam in Jiayan's compound eyes grew brighter!
Just as Jiayan finished his thoughts and was about to put the bluish-gray stone into his notebook bag that he carried with him!
Swoosh! Swoosh!!
Two red beams of light, exceptionally bright in the night!
They cut through the night sky and shot straight towards Jiayan's location!
"Here they come again!" Jiayan was slightly startled at first, then, he was determined to deal with these two suddenly appearing metallic creatures together!
But just as he made this decision!
Swoosh! Swoosh!!—
Two more beams of light, through the distant distance, directly aimed at Jiayan's location!
There was no need to mention the direction; it was two more metallic creatures appearing!
Jiayan's movements hesitated slightly at this moment.
He was thinking, if these creatures appeared one by one, there might really be some means of communication among them. After all, this was not some high-tech thing. If Jiayan fought them, he might get caught in a long battle!
Although he was not afraid, in the current situation, he didn't even understand the sequence of events well. Engaging in a battle with metallic creatures like this was obviously not a wise move!
So, the big mosquito, after a slight flicker in his compound eyes, directly flapped his wings!
Hum!—
The wings vibrated, instantly reaching an extremely high speed!
Crack!
His body reacted almost instantaneously as soon as several red lights appeared. Then, at the moment the red light shot forward, he spread out his body and shot into the sky!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!—
Four beams of light hit the ground where Jiayan had been just before, and a wave of heat surged from the ground, rising into the sky. The flames almost reached his hind legs!
But a narrow miss is as good as a mile; these
four red beams of light didn't cause any damage to Jiayan at all!
"Sure enough! There are still many more metallic monsters behind them!"
Flying in the sky, Jiayan looked at the metallic monsters behind him, and a gleam flashed in his compound eyes. He decided not to think about attacking anymore!
With so many metallic monsters, even if he could handle the attacks from so many of them, killing them all would waste a lot of his energy. He didn't want to do something so laborious and thankless when it wasn't necessary!
Even if the bluish-gray stone in the metallic creature's body had some benefit for his next mutation, he had just completed one mutation, and there were still subsequent processes to go through. So his demand for mutation was not very strong at the moment!
"So many metallic monsters, they won't run away, right? In that case, I'll leave first and figure out what happened later!"
Jiayan gradually increased his flying altitude.
Looking at the scenery below, he gradually became more serious!
In his eyes, the world on the ground was now everywhere scorched earth. Ruins and debris were scattered everywhere, and there were even places emitting thick smoke.
"Could this all be caused by those metallic monsters?"
Jiayan's compound eyes showed disbelief.
"Could this already be... a war?! A war between metallic monsters and humans?!"
