Chapter 404 Blending In
Li Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at the matter below, while his body fell down little by little.
In Li Ming's cognition, dark matter contains dark energy, which is a kind of energy opposite to light energy, but most of this matter exists in the universe.
The last time Li Ming obtained dark energy was also on a wandering planet. Dark energy is a kind of special energy, and its function is naturally extraordinary, because special energy often has special uses. The wormhole summoning that Li Ming learned before depends on dark energy.
However, the vortex-shaped dark matter in front of him still surprised Li Ming a little. The existence of dark matter is generally in a natural state, just like air, and it will not form crystals like other special energies, because dark energy is an expanding energy.
More dark energy gathering will only make its volume expand and even squeeze other substances, and will not appear in other forms due to gathering.
But if there is an alien civilization that can fully collect and utilize it, it can forcibly change its form through external means to achieve a certain effect.
Li Ming's cognition of the specific effect of this energy is limited, and this vortex in front of him is an exception.
Out of curiosity, Li Ming's figure has already approached the vortex below, and his slightly narrowed eyes continue to observe the changes in the vortex.
With his eyes, Li Ming discovered that the dark energy in the vortex is not pure dark energy. Pure dark energy is the energy after dark matter is completely refined. The proportion of dark energy in the vortex in front of him is relatively large, but there is also a lot of dark matter.
However, the existence of the vortex in the form of a vortex shows that the energy is controlled by someone, but it has not fully extracted the dark energy, which leads to the mixing of dark matter.
"Who is controlling this dark energy?"
Li Ming looked at the vortex with a puzzled look.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ming waved his left hand and injected a green light into it. This green light was Li Ming's consciousness. As the green light spread in the vortex, the situation inside the entire vortex suddenly became clear.
At this time, from Li Ming's point of view, the black dark energy vortex seemed to have turned into a clear water surface, and the situation under the water was in full view.
The more clearly he saw, the uglier Li Ming's face looked. His eyes widened a little, and his expression froze instantly.
"What are those...?!"
Li Ming's eyes were fixed on the vortex.
At the bottom of the vortex were the 'souls' of aliens. The so-called soul is actually the energy in the body of alien civilization. Because it was completely extracted in an instant, the energy still maintained the same appearance as its body. It looked like a 'soul', but it was just energy.
Li Ming had used his mental power many times to extract some aliens' souls directly from their bodies and directly absorb them, so he knew this very well.
When the 'soul' energy was extracted from the body instantly, not only did its appearance not change, but it also had complete consciousness. However, this energy needed to be absorbed in time, otherwise it would dissipate little by little and disappear in the air.
The vortex in front of him was exactly like this. The dark energy of the vortex, coupled with the 'soul' energy at the bottom, plus this mountain body similar to a wine bottle, the whole thing was like a storage tank.
The dark energy was the water in the bottle, and the 'soul' energy was something soaked in the water, as if it was being stored.
It was also under the effect of dark energy that the 'soul' energy remained intact, neither disintegrated nor disappeared.
Looking at all this in front of him, Li Ming fell into deep thought, and whispered: "Who did this?"
Thinking of this, Li Ming's eyes gathered and he looked at the vortex again. Then he turned his left palm and a small green dragon appeared in his hand. It was the flying dragon. He locked his eyes on the vortex, waved his left hand, and the green dragon turned into a green light and shot into it.
To know more about the vortex, he still had to use the green dragon to explore the consciousness of the 'soul' energy at the bottom.
The green dragon went straight to the bottom of the lake through the vortex, looked at those souls, swung his body, and directly entered one of the souls.
Once he entered it, the scenes that the other party's consciousness had passed through emerged one by one...
A group of aliens escorted by alien insects were brought here like Li Ming, and they were ruthlessly thrown into this mountain pass by alien insects.
The aliens fell into the black vortex, just like falling into the lake, and were directly swallowed by the black vortex. These aliens were in a coma like Tan Jing. After all, these aliens could not have strong mental power and wisdom like Li Ming.
After falling into the black vortex, the soul and the body will be slowly separated under the action of the black vortex, the soul sinks to the bottom, and the body floats up.
Due to the magical effect of dark energy, although the separation speed is not fast, the soul will not dissipate. In this way, the remaining consciousness of the aliens can only watch themselves die, which will be extremely painful.
The process of watching oneself die little by little is undoubtedly terrifying for everyone.
When the soul and the body are completely separated, the alien worm will return to take out the floating body, but this is not the end.
The reason why those precipitated souls are stored is that they are the food of the white-green alien worm. Just like the information Li Ming saw from the operating table of the abandoned spacecraft before, the white-green alien worm will directly devour the energy in the alien's body, so this storage becomes normal.
After reading this, Li Ming quickly withdrew his mind, focused his eyes again, opened his mouth slightly, and said to himself: "It seems that this is all because of that alien insect..."
While he was whispering, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky above his head. Li Ming immediately raised his head slightly and looked up, only to see a strange insect flying in from the red light of the top mountain pass.
When the strange insect saw Li Ming, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he was a little surprised. Li Ming naturally looked back at him.
Obviously, this strange insect was the one that had just thrown Li Ming here. Now it came here just to salvage the body.
Li Ming looked at the other party fiercely, snorted coldly, and suddenly swung his right hand. A golden light shot out, and a muffled sound of "bang!" was heard, and the whole flying insect was instantly destroyed.
After doing all this, Li Ming turned his eyes back to the vortex in front of him, but looking at it like this, Li Ming suddenly opened his eyes a little wider, his face slightly raised, his mouth slightly opened, and exclaimed: "Not good!"
"Forget Tan Jing!"
Li Ming did not hesitate at the moment, and flew out from the top of the mountain pass.
At this time, Li Ming was already extremely worried. After all, the alien insect had come to salvage Li Ming's body, and Tan Jing was in front of Li Ming, so it was even more dangerous.
Arriving just above the mountain pass, Li Ming waved his left hand again, and the flying dragon below shot out.
After all, there were dozens of hills of different sizes in front of Li Ming, and it was not easy to find the specific location of Tan Jing.
The flying dragon went in one direction, and Li Ming went in another direction, and began to check the mountain passes one by one.
After a while, Li Ming had checked the entire area. At this time, Li Ming was floating quietly in the air, with a puzzled look on his face. His eyes kept looking at the mountain passes, and he whispered in confusion: "Not here? It shouldn't be..."
According to Li Ming's thinking, since the white-green alien insects only devour human souls, why is Tan Jing not here? Is there another place to store souls?
Li Ming was thinking, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. However, after thinking about it, Li Ming had a new idea in his mind.
The energy in his body was running, and the surface of his body flashed with blue light. Then Li Ming's body shape began to change. After a twist, Li Ming turned into the shape of the flying alien insect.
This is one of Li Ming's magical abilities, the magic shadow incarnation.
With the blessing of Huicong, the use and mastery of this ability has also undergone tremendous changes. It is no longer limited by volume, and the details of energy and incarnation can be handled in detail, which is incomparable before.
After the transformation ended, Li Ming flew straight away.
Leaving this area, Li Ming came to the vertical position of the well hole. At this time, it can continue to extend downwards and can be freely entered to both sides, like an endless corridor with rooms on both sides. It is naturally not easy to find a person in such a huge area.
