Chapter 214: Xenomorph

Dinosaur roars rose and fell. Towering trees were knocked to the ground and trampled by the dinosaurs without ceremony.

Facing that level of natural disaster, the dinosaurs' deep-seated fear of fire was fully unleashed. They ran at the fastest speed of their lives, and as for what stood in their way—the small ones were eaten, the large ones were avoided.

Peter stood on a tree, one hand holding the trunk, his eyes looking into the distance, watching the stampeding dinosaurs without the slightest fear.

Seeing a dinosaur charging over, Peter immediately jumped up. Several silk threads shot out from his fingertips, stuck to another branch, and he swung across.

Creak!

The massive tree trunk, under the impact of the dinosaur, let out a painful groan, then fell to the ground and was trampled over by the dinosaurs.

"If this continues, this small island will be destroyed." Peter looked at the dark clouds in the distance where thunder was constantly striking, pondered for a moment, and immediately ran over.

This island was full of trees. Once a fire started, it would inevitably spread. By then, all living things on the island would be buried in a sea of fire—of course, those who didn't fear fire were not included.

Crossing the raging flames, Peter finally saw the legendary Storm, Ororo.

In black leather, her eyes were pure white, like a goddess descended to the mortal world. Her hands pointed toward the sky, and whirlwinds, thunder, hail, lightning, and fire fell one after another. Before her, nature was like an obedient child, following her will.

"The power of a mutant is actually this strong." Peter looked at his own hands, feeling a bit depressed. "But what could make a Storm, who rivals the gods, take action?"

Peter looked at the scene. He saw six bizarre-looking creatures surrounding Storm. They didn't fear the wind and rain, nor did they fear the fire. The only thing they feared was the constantly striking lightning, because under the drive of the lightning, they jumped left and right, occasionally jumping into the fire piles and jumping out again as if nothing had happened.

"What kind of creature is this?" Peter's gaze rested on these bizarre creatures. These creatures were about 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall, about the same height as an ordinary adult. Their two feet stepped on the ground, and their two claws were tucked into their abdomens, like dinosaurs.

But compared to dinosaurs, these bizarre creatures were much more ferocious. A long, sharp-spiked claw could extend and retract freely, constantly moving toward Storm, but because of the lightning, they didn't dare to get too close.

"This creature doesn't look like a dinosaur, yet it has dinosaur characteristics. If it wasn't cultivated using dinosaur genes, it must be some kind of parasite living on dinosaurs." Peter muttered. He suddenly remembered the massive dinosaur he had seen with a large lump on its back. He personally leaned toward the idea that these life forms were parasites living on dinosaurs.

Snap!

Just as Peter was deep in thought, a long tongue shot out from behind him. It turned out that there were more than six bizarre creatures in the forest; one had been lurking in the woods.

The long tongue instantly pierced through Peter's stomach. Peter felt a heart-wrenching pain and a numbing sensation of his body melting.

"No!"

Peter roared, moved his body away, and covered his stomach with both hands to keep the blood from flowing out. The next moment, he had to let go of his hands because on his hands, a yellow corrosive liquid was constantly eroding them, instantly eroding his palms until only bones remained.

Hiss, hiss!

The bizarre creature retracted its tongue, and the blood on the tongue told it that this person's genes were even more powerful than the dinosaurs'.

"Following the Queen's orders, plunder powerful genes, hiss!"

The bizarre creature roared, using a language others couldn't understand to communicate with its kind.

"Damn it." Storm, Ororo, saw someone hiding in the surroundings. At first, she was angry, but when she saw the person hiding being ambushed, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Ms. Ororo, that is a person from the VCQ Company. Please help save him." Duan Yan's voice was transmitted to Ororo's mind through intent.

"What does a person from the VCQ Company have to do with me? I only follow Ao's orders. As for you, an artificial mutant, you'd better get lost." Ororo scolded angrily. As a mutant, the thing she hated most was artificial mutants. This hatred was innate, something she couldn't even explain herself.

If she had to say why, it was because she felt like her candy had been stolen.

A mutant's power was originally innate, and it was only after acquired mutation that they gained power. But this guy, Duan Yan, was a crystallization of technology, an alien—an alien among mutants. This disgust, although faint, still influenced her.

"The VCQ Company was supported by Mr. Douglas. Please help." Duan Yan became a bit anxious. Seeing that the bizarre creature was about to plant an egg in Peter's body, his voice couldn't help but become impatient.

He had just reached a deal with Ye Nan, and the deal wasn't finished yet. He didn't want any mishaps. After all, anyone who could come with Ye Nan was his confidant. If he could save him, he should, to avoid Ye Nan taking his anger out on him later, which wouldn't be good.

"Hmph." Ororo snorted coldly. With a wave of her hand, a bolt of lightning fell, striking the bizarre creature approaching Peter.

However, that creature was agile. With a single leap, it dodged Ororo's attack and roared, questioning Ororo.

Anyone who had their food stolen would be in a bad mood, let alone this creature, which also carried the Queen's orders. Coupled with its own ferocious nature, it immediately lunged at Ororo.

"Damn beast." Ororo waved her hand, and a small tornado formed in front of her, rushing toward the bizarre creature. Of course, Ororo didn't intend to do anything to this creature with just a small tornado. In their long standoff, she had also learned some characteristics of these creatures.

Agile—these creatures were very sensitive, and ordinary attacks couldn't hit them at all. Highly aggressive—the moment they appeared, they hunted everything. Ororo had only just encountered them and was already under attack. At the same time, the power of their attacks also surprised Ororo. That tongue was simply like a sharp arrow that could pierce any defense. To this day, she hadn't found anything that could withstand the tongues of these bizarre creatures.

"Peter, what happened to you?" Ye Nan had just found Peter when he saw him lying on the ground, a large amount of blood flowing from his body, and was shocked.

Peter was a superhero with formidable strength. Not to mention his speed and his sense of danger, no one should have been able to hurt him. But now, he was lying here, life or death unknown.

Ye Nan picked Peter up, tore some cloth strips from his clothes to bandage Peter's wounds, and at the same time, his gaze scanned the surroundings, first landing on the black-clad woman standing on a giant rock. "Did you hurt Peter?"

Ye Nan's words were filled with murderous intent. Although Peter couldn't be considered his relative, he was definitely his partner. Now that his partner was injured, his heart was filled with anger.

Storm, Ororo, heard Ye Nan's voice full of anger and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although she was dissatisfied with Ye Nan's words, she wasn't foolish enough to take the hatred upon herself. She immediately pointed to the group of beasts eyeing them covetously and said, "Look, that is the real culprit who hurt your partner."...

Hearing this, Ye Nan moved his gaze away from Ororo and turned to the ferocious bizarre creatures in the field. Upon seeing these creatures, he was first shocked, then shaken.

If he had only been guessing before seeing these creatures, then after seeing them, he could be certain that these things were Xenomorphs.

Although the dinosaur appearance accounted for the vast majority of the impression Xenomorphs gave people, some characteristics of the Xenomorphs were still exposed. These characteristics let Ye Nan know that these were Xenomorphs—Xenomorphs that had parasitized dinosaurs and grown by absorbing dinosaur genes.

"It's actually a Xenomorph." Ye Nan's expression became terrifying. He raised his watch and said, "Stark, find a way to get over here. We have big trouble."

The Xenomorph is a very perfect creature. At least in terms of the physical body, they perform perfectly. No matter what harsh environment it is, it can adapt—whether it's the icy Antarctica or the scorching desert, they adapt more perfectly than local creatures, and they can plunder the genes of other creatures to evolve themselves.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Xenomorphs can survive in space, Ye Nan believes that as long as it obtains a certain gene, it can survive directly in space. This ability to plunder the capabilities of other creatures made Ye Nan envious.

But envy is envy. When Ye Nan encountered this kind of creature, he felt it was tricky.

Xenomorphs have high hunting skills, but their intelligence is not high. At the same time, their bones are full of aggressive consciousness, completely treating other creatures as their food source and gene extraction library.

To possess intelligence, they would have to parasitize humans.

"No wonder no one could get close to the spaceship. It turns out that what's inside the spaceship is a Xenomorph." Ye Nan solved a mystery in his heart.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Duan Yan's voice was transmitted through intent.

"Invading people's brains—this habit is very bad, Duan Yan." Ye Nan sensitively felt a trace of strange mental intrusion into his brain and immediately spoke up.

"Only in this way can we communicate," Duan Yan said.

"Although cowardice is your personality, this personality is very bad, Duan Yan. Do you believe I'll find you?" Ye Nan said lightly.

Having his brain invaded by others made Ye Nan very unhappy. If it weren't for the deal with Duan Yan, he would have already taken action to drag Duan Yan, who was hiding behind the scenes, out.

Although psychic abilities are powerful, they have great limitations. For example, distance—to use psychic abilities, whether for manipulation or communication, one must be nearby. This distance cannot be too far, and satellites can easily find it if one is intentional.

"I really don't like coming out in this situation." Duan Yan walked over from the distance. Beside him was another man—a man with his head lowered, exuding a deathly aura. "This creature you call a Xenomorph is truly too terrifying. They are simply hunters—hunters that hunt all life."

"I didn't expect you, this coward, to dare to come out." Storm, Ororo, saw Duan Yan come out and suddenly mocked him.

When the Xenomorphs came out, Duan Yan had left her to fight alone and hid himself. Her heart had long been filled with resentment.

"I'm not being a coward, but cautious. I cherish my life very much, and it just so happens that this life form called a Xenomorph is enough to threaten my life." 【This text is provided by Qihang】 ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
