Chapter 374: An Invitation From a Genius
Li Ming listened carefully, and looked at the other party with cautious eyes, not daring to relax at all.
Cottrell was also in a completely leisurely state, as if everything was under control. He came to the shelf, picked up a star bag casually, and said while watching: "Regarding Huicong, I only dare to learn some superficial abilities. You also let down your guard in front of me, which gave me a chance, otherwise my loss would be too great."
"From your appearance, you should not be with those people in the Milky Way."
Cottrell continued.
Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but he had to admit that he did relax his vigilance when he was sure that the other party did not have Huicong's mental defense ability, which made the other party discover his intention.
The use of advanced civilization is naturally not as simple as that of low-level civilization. When Li Ming was still a low-level civilization, he was even comparable to Moore's Huicong ability, but now it is naturally completely different. The other party has a 1.3-level civilization, which is the top of the first interval of the first-level civilization. Its strength and cognition are certainly not something Li Ming can understand. Even if he only learned the superficial aspects of Huicong, he can still play some role.
Thinking quickly in his mind, Li Ming's mood was completely relaxed. After a slight smile, he said: "So... should I call you Mayo? Or Cottrell?"
"Huh?!"
Cottrell's expression suddenly changed, and the look he gave Li Ming also changed a little, but he still smiled slightly and said: "Are you spiritual civilization?"
Li Ming did not reply directly, but smiled faintly and said: "Since we are talking about this, I just want to mention those past events."
"Did you deliberately add other materials to Larson's Renxu?"
Li Ming's sharp eyes pierced through the other party's body like a sword, and Cottrell was also excited when he mentioned this matter.
Seeing Cottrell's reaction, Li Ming was more certain that what he saw from his brain was indeed true. After a slight hum, he continued: "I know too many secrets about you. In front of my wisdom eyes, your past... is vivid in my mind."
"Wisdom eyes?!"
Cottrell's face suddenly changed, and his eyes trembled slightly. He originally thought that Li Ming only had spiritual civilization and could detect his cognition, but he didn't expect that he also had wisdom eyes. It was certainly surprising to have both spiritual civilization and wisdom eyes at the same time, but after a few seconds, Cottrell's expression immediately returned to normal, saying: "No wonder... spiritual civilization plus wisdom eyes are really powerful enough."
Speaking of this, Cottrell put the star bag in his hand back on the shelf, walked a few steps again, and said: "Since you know everything, you should know my strength better."
"Follow me, I will make you stronger and satisfy you with anything you want."
Cottrell opened his hands and said loudly.
Li Ming looked uncomfortable, but he didn't say a word. He moved slightly and took two steps towards the door, but soon stopped again, with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Cottrell suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a blue light flashed in his palm. A green pill appeared in his hand, and then he threw it to Li Ming.
Li Ming raised his hand to take it. With just a slight sense, he recognized that it was the soul-refining pill containing the other party's consciousness, and it was exactly the same as the one Tan Jing took.
'Hmph...'
Li Ming snorted and shook his head slightly.
Cottrell's face changed slightly when he saw this, and he continued: "Look at me with your wisdom eyes. I sincerely invite you. This soul-refining pill can improve your strength. As long as you can follow me, I will provide you with this kind of pill continuously. Don't you... want to be strong?"
Li Ming then waved and threw the pill back.
Cottrell took it and immediately showed displeasure on his face, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Now in the whole world, only I can create Renxu and enter a higher civilization, and only I can satisfy you."
"And my latest experiment can perfectly transfer your consciousness and energy to other life forms. Even if you want to have a silicon-based body or the ability of aerospace civilization, I can do it."
Cottrell continued.
Li Ming just looked at the other party quietly and said coldly: "Mr. Mayo, the genius master in biological civilization, is really extraordinary."
Cottrell smiled disdainfully and replied: "Genius? I just have a talent for perceiving things in an unconventional way. Creativity is invention, experimentation, growth, adventure, breaking rules, and making mistakes."
"But...there is no doubt that creativity is our most important resource. Without creativity, there is no progress, and we will always repeat the same pattern. Do you want that?"
As Cottrell spoke, he opened his arms again and said: "Come on, follow me, I will take you to appreciate a different world and create a world where we control the rules."
If there is no spiritual civilization and wisdom, these words can completely move Li Ming, but under the wisdom, the other party's evil deeds keep emerging in Li Ming's mind.
With a glimmer in his eyes, Li Ming directly replied: "I have no intention of going along with you."
As soon as these words came out, Cottrell slowly put down his hands, his face instantly turned cold, and his eyes looking at Li Ming were full of indifference and anger.
"I respect your choice, but I also tell you responsibly that you have made the most wrong choice in your life."
Cottrell said lightly, and his relaxed tone seemed to be nothing unusual, but the content of his words had already revealed his murderous intent.
Li Ming had foreseen it, and before the other party could make a move, he suddenly waved his right hand, and a golden arc of light shot out.
‘Bang! ’
A muffled sound was heard, and Cottrell raised his hand lightly, and a transparent liquid wall formed in front of his palm. Li Ming's golden lightning hit it and disappeared in a huge sound.
The liquid wall in front of Cottrell's palm was transparent and circular, like water. The golden lightning was powerful, but it disappeared as soon as it came into contact.
Li Ming's face changed slightly, and he turned and ran out of the cave. Seeing Li Ming's urgent steps to escape, Cottrell was calm and walked towards the place where Li Ming escaped. At the same time, he raised his right hand and pressed lightly on his left shoulder.
The red light spot on the left shoulder flashed.
At the same time as this light spot flashed, in the portal in the dark building, the spider monster suddenly stood up from the cave floor, and the silicon-based life in the huge crystal block suddenly opened its eyes. Tan Jing, who was in the attic, also looked at the portal.
It was as if the button responded to the three people.
At this time, Li Ming had just arrived in a round room. The three-headed monster in this room shook its head and tail, spread its wings, and roared at Li Ming.
Li Ming had no intention of fighting, not to mention that there was Cottrell behind him.
He looked at the door in the distance and muttered: "Instant light..."
The figure flashed and disappeared on the spot, and the next moment he arrived at the door.
The figure reappeared, and Li Ming did not dare to stop at all, and continued to walk out in a hurry. At this time, the three-headed monster did not react at once, and his head swung around but still could not find Li Ming's figure.
However, Cottrell had already arrived in this room, looking at the door where Li Ming escaped, raised his right hand, and transparent water drops appeared in his palm, and then "bang! ’.
A powerful shock wave shot out.
‘Boom! ’
A violent sound was heard. From the outside, the mountainside of the huge mountain had exploded, as if someone was blasting in the mountain. Rocks flew and dust rose everywhere. The whole mountainside seemed to be submerged in dust.
And in the dust, a figure flew out and ran straight into the distance.
That figure was Li Ming.
The next moment, a huge figure also flew out of the dust. It was the three-headed beast that was more than ten meters long. It flapped its wings and ran towards Li Ming. At the same time, there was another figure on the back of the three-headed beast. It was Cottrell.
Li Ming did not dare to hesitate or stop at all. He accelerated his flying speed and flew straight to the distance on the planet.
Under the night sky, Li Ming just wanted to escape from this construction area, but it was obvious that this was not an easy task.
At this time, the other three figures had already locked onto Li Ming. They were Tan Jing, Spider-Man Mace and Silicon-based Life McCall.
Of course, there was more than that. In the nearby bases, large and small spaceships and aircraft took off one after another, all heading here. The momentum was no less than an interstellar war.
Li Ming flew towards the edge of the construction area little by little. Before he got close, he looked around and found something wrong. The entire construction area and the surrounding area were full of aircraft. With Li Ming's flying speed, it was absolutely impossible to compare with those aircraft.
