The combat boots made a crunching sound when they came into contact with the ground, and a figure walked from the entrance of the cave holding a golden weapon.
It was pitch black in the cave, a bit gloomier than the darkest night, as if all the light was swallowed up in an instant, and it didn't even shine into the place where the feet first landed.
The air was filled with the stench of decay and sweetness. Monaco didn't understand it, because every time he went into the sewer, he used magic to block the sense of smell, so what he smelled this time was not the smell of excrement, but blood mixed with internal organs.
smell.
The cave is not deep, probably less than a hundred meters, and the ground inside is rugged, and the surrounding rock walls are always irregularly bulging. The black pillars support the dome like tree trunks, which are just a line at this time.
A blurry shadow.
Naturally, these scenes are all blood red in Deathstroke's eyepiece.
"Ahem! Geer? Dear, are you at home?!"
Su Ming walked quickly towards the depths of the cave while speaking tentatively. He had fought with Thor hundreds of years ago and could understand Old Norse and Old Slavonic.
It’s just that the word ‘kin’ is not easy to translate.
Hundreds of years ago, Su Ming was not in this world, and there was no butterfly effect. Therefore, the one who fought Thor at that time should undoubtedly be the God-Slayer Gal, but now the enemy Thor came down to hunt down may not be who he is.
But it doesn't matter, I won't let go if I kill someone wrong.
It is said that killing all the Asgardian gods is indeed another way to avoid Ragnarok, but it is not good for this world.
Ragnarok restarts the existence of the gods in Asgard again and again, and uses the energy released after their death to maintain the operation of certain concepts in the universe. However, if the gods who serve as fuel are killed, the world may become cold.
Although Su Ming reached an agreement with the ancient god group "The Man in the Shadow" in the early years, and worked with Wade to force them to postpone Ragnarok this time, the root of the problem has not been solved.
Marvel's multi-dimensional system has been restarted seven times, and the current "Seventh Firmament" is "Eternity" and "Infinity".
And Ragnarok has come seven times. What is the connection between them?
If you look further ahead, Luther from DC next door is also collecting seven dark powers of creation. There are seven members of the Endless Family, and there are seven colors in the emotional spectrum...
Is it a coincidence or what? There are seven meanings in the dark? Su Ming has no idea at the moment.
And just as he was thinking and moving forward, a big net was suddenly cast down in the darkness on the roof of the cave. To be precise, it was a net that looked like a big net, but was actually a monster with a big mouth.
It is entirely composed of black sticky threads, and its huge mouth is full of sharp teeth. It moves quickly and silently, and will wrap up Deathstroke's head and bite it off almost instantly.
"Strangle it."
How could Su Ming, who was well prepared, not discover the existence of this monster? When the cave was still closed by rocks, strangulation meant that he smelled the same kind of smell. I believe that the monster in the cave also sensed strangulation.
There is no such feeling between symbionts as when fellow creatures meet fellow creatures. The result of their encounter is often that one devours the other, and the winner absorbs the loser's useful genes to complete evolution.
When outside the cave, the bean sprout-like little head of Strangler was drooling, and the one in the cave must be the same.
It's a pity that the symbiote in the cave obviously has no intelligence. It may be attached to some animal or insect host. Its hunting movements look a bit like a spider, because Su Ming can see four pairs of black shiny eyes on its head.
compound eyes.
If the pair of white crescent eyes of Strangler sometimes looks cute, the monster with four pairs of eyes only looks ferocious.
But it obviously chose the wrong target. As a descendant of the 'dragon', it had followed Su Ming to so many places, and the evolutionary route it chose was to strengthen its body and prevent division and reproduction.
Symbiotes like the one in the cave are like snacks for Strangler.
At the moment when the symbiote was about to fall, Strangler rushed out from behind Su Ming, and with an even larger size and a more terrifying momentum, he ate the falling monster in one bite.
Maybe the opponent's body simulated a carapace, and when it was strangled and eaten, it made a sound like eating a crab, and the clicking sound of chewing floated back and forth in the cave.
Phenylethylamine contained in the biological brain is a food that all symbionts like. This substance can improve the synchronization rate between the symbiont and the host. The content is highest in the human brain, which is why symbionts like to eat brains.
Of course, other animal brains will also work, such as fish. If you don't have them, chocolate or sweet tomato sauce will also work.
A symbiote without a host cannot move alone under the earth's gravity environment, but with a host it will have the desire to supplement phenylethylamine. The symbiont's appetite is reflected in humans as the desire to kill, always eager to rip off other people's heads.
Put it in your mouth.
In fact, if all foods are counted, phenylethylamine is still the highest in the bodies of symbionts.
Not only are they nutritious, but similar genes may also provide new evolutionary options. This is the reason for drooling before strangulation.
At this time, it no longer thinks about the green slime monster, but happily chews the same kind in its mouth, reads its memory, takes away its phenylethylamine, and analyzes its genes.
After a moment, it retracted into Su Ming's armor, and a happy thought came to him.
Unsurprisingly, there are no genes that can be used at all. The other party doesn't know how many times they are the offspring of splitting. When Gal knocked Thor out of the clouds and smashed the cave, this symbiote has been used.
Trapped here, its level of evolution is appallingly low.
However, Strangler did get a phenylethylamine supplement and was in a good mood. Little Bean Sprout danced a seaweed dance on Su Ming's shoulders.
Su Ming was analyzing the intelligence at this time.
This symbiote was split from the symbiote of the God-Slayer Geer. It has the special ability to share the five senses between the offspring and the parent. In other words, when Su Ming killed the offspring, he did not know where he was.
Di Geer should also know that someone is looking for trouble for him.
Geer's symbiote is the black sword in his hand. The evolutionary route he chooses is the violent soldier route of infinitely dividing offspring. The strength of a single body is far worse than that of Strangler, but it is 'strong in numbers'.
Also, Gal's willpower is not strong enough. He has been assimilated to the consciousness of the symbiote to a great extent. To put it simply, he is a little crazy.
Then it was gone. This dead symbiote only knew so much. After being trapped here, it parasitized a small spider. It has been living in this dark place, and its intelligence has degraded.
And its existence also ensures that there are no other living creatures in this cave. Even before Su Ming exploded the mountain, it had been in a special dormant state.
Su Ming thought for a while, then bent down to pick up some semi-solid mucus spitted out by strangulation. These were useless parts of the enemy and had no nutrition. Then he quickly walked out of the cave and showed it to Pim and the others.
"Look, this is the same kind of monster that killed Dr. Dean."
Pim and Janet came over. Janet didn't look carefully. She felt sad when she heard this. What difference would it make if it was all mucus? Deathstroke said it was right.
But Pym took out a magnifying glass to study it carefully, put the remains under his nose, smelled it, and raised objections.
"It should smell like formic acid, and the monster should be green, not black."
Su Ming very calmly threw the wreckage into his arms, and said in a tone of resentment: "Hey, young man, your thinking is too rigid. It smelled so bad just now. It's normal that you can't smell the formic acid. Besides, you can listen to
Never heard of a word called 'red as purple, green as black'?"
Pim was stunned for a moment, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his words...
