Chapter 568 Hunting the Killer Rat
The Master of War looked at Zhou Yi: "So the Forbidden Continent is an incubator, where suitable life forms are sent to Mars and then raised freely. The Forbidden Continent came first, and then the Martian ecosystem came into being."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Three creatures created by the Seeders on the Forbidden Continent.

Golden elephant, a large livestock.

Killer Rat, Wild Control.

Electric cat, an intelligence fusion after memories have been erased.

They represent three different directions, but all can be adapted to the Martian environment.

In terms of completeness, Electric Cat is undoubtedly the best.

Zhou Yi's current understanding is relatively limited to electric modems.

This group has two main branches.

High-voltage, low-current intelligent electric cats are trainable and are also used as work electric cats in companies. Mars electric cats also belong to this category, but their production rate is relatively low.

Wild electric cats with low voltage and high current are difficult to tame; these are the wild electric cats of Spark Plains. They have a high birth rate but low intelligence.

Regardless of the type, they can all sustain the operation of hydrogen-based life forms in seven times the diamond at high altitudes.

They were given a working attribute.

Golden elephants were livestock used to obtain gold; they were raised to adulthood and then slaughtered.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

So what is the mission of the killer rat?
“Da Zhou, isn’t this obvious? According to your old human knowledge system, it is a consumer and decomposer, specifically used to hunt other life forms.”

The voice of the traverser echoed in my mind.

"What the killer rats do is deal with those overgrown life forms. Like electric cats and golden elephants, they theoretically will continue to grow and expand their acquisition and enrichment of environmental resources, forcing them to decompose back into basic substances and return to nature."

"Otherwise, if they are allowed to grow without limit, they will cause enormous damage to the entire planet. Many worlds have been destroyed because of the lack of ecological balance and restraint, which led to certain life forms or civilizations draining the planet dry, making it impossible for the entire world to complete its self-repair."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

So that's its function; it's like a man-made Grim Reaper.

Killer rats are lethal and are considered mechanical monsters; they can kill anything that is alive by attacking them.

It's definitely something I was born to do.

The killer rats on Mars keep crashing into the dust storm, not because they have any complaints about it, but because they have discovered a large number of electric cats living inside the dust storm, as well as electric spirits at the top.

These are the creatures that are hunted and attacked.

They simply couldn't break through the overwhelming dust storm, so the electric cats inside were unaware of the danger.

Zhou Yi was pondering.

The soldier next to him asked, "Did you find the golden elephant on Mars?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Not yet. The existence of the Golden Elephant is recorded in the Salt Library over there, which should be in the Martian core."

The other person continued, "So, in other words, the other part of the golden elephant's body lives in the Earth's core?"

"It's possible."

"Why don't you try communicating with the Golden Elephant's consciousness?"

The military leader highly values ​​the golden elephant.

Zhou Yi smiled wryly: "No, their gold elements will assimilate the touchers."

"I almost forgot about that... Even if they become light cores, it's still difficult to touch them. They can't control their power; the problems caused by their intellectual deficiencies are too great."

The warlord sighed.

Zhou Yi said, "But there are ways."

"any solution?"

“I brought curling here; it incorporates the golden elephant flag, which is also the element of gold. Its consciousness can come into contact with the golden elephant by transforming into a gaseous state.”

The soldier's eyes lit up immediately: "Then let's go now!"

"Senior, it's still busy on Mars."

Zhou Yi said, "When it comes back from this vacation, I'll have it do this."

"also."

The warlord smiled and said, "We've waited so many years, what's a little more time?"

He suddenly snapped out of his reverie and pointed to the blonde girl beside him: "How about she be your bodyguard?"

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

This third-generation weapon princess, formed from the fusion of the golden elephant, has a docile appearance and always stands silently by the side. She also seems to have a very stable personality.

It is still a light nucleus.

Zhou Yi was somewhat tempted.

but.

He waved his hand: "Thank you, senior, but I have the Witcher, that's enough."

He had promised the weapon girl who followed him that he would not put her on the sidelines and would ensure her absolute main force status.

Being rejected actually pleased the warlord: "You treat her very well, so I'm relieved."

"You go ahead and do your work, I'll continue my research on the Golden Elephant." "Goodbye."

Zhou Yi left Golden Elephant Valley.

The witch, whose waistband tucked in, trembled and sprang back into her silver-haired weapon princess form.

"You kept your promise and didn't bring in any other guys to replace me. You're a good master."

"This is what the tall bodyguard in all black said."

“We agreed on that back then,” Zhou Yi smiled.

"Ah."

The witch hesitated for a moment: "But it's true that I'm not strong enough right now."

"Although you don't mind me, I'm too weak right now."

"I need to become stronger."

"I hope you can promise me one thing."

"tell me the story."

"I want to go to Mars."

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"I'm going over there to hunt killer rats."

The witch's eyes were resolute: "Didn't you say that the killer rats there would attack the dust storm and die, then regenerate? I'm going to seize this opportunity to finish them off. As long as the target is ultimately killed, I will gain a significant amount of growth and power."

"As long as I have enough bullets, I can seize these opportunities."

"Killing a Light Core being of a higher level will allow me to quickly advance to the Light Core level!"

"No."

"Why!!"

Zhou Yi said seriously, "If you encounter the killer rat, you're doomed. This knife isn't so easy to finish off."

"Give me more Light Seeds. If I can't beat you, I'll just drop the Light Seeds and run away. I won't die."

The witch grew anxious: "Anyway, you're my master, so raising me isn't a loss for you. The stronger I become, the better I can protect you and help you with your tasks. Consider it a loan; I'll pay you back later, okay?"

"When a person dies, everything is gone."

Zhou Yi looked at her.

The other party was taken aback, but still insisted, "I must become stronger. A weapon girl who can't play her role only has a pathetic and failed life. I don't want to sit on the sidelines anymore, and I don't want to hold anyone back."

“We Weapon Girls have a special characteristic: even if we are destroyed, if we can send them to the old man in time, they can be repaired and brought back to life, because we are, after all, a combination of weapon and human. If I am killed by Killer Rat, bring my remains back, and the old man will definitely be able to repair them.”

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

He immediately contacted the warlord via communicator to verify.

"There is such a thing."

The warlord also said, "However, it's not 100% certain. If only a small amount of remains are left, even if it's repaired, there will still be memory gaps. It's the same as the bone man in this respect."

Zhou Yi immediately told her about the witch's desire to hunt the killer rats.

"Is that so...? Of course, the risk is very high, but it's actually a method that suits her."

The Warlord was much calmer: "Warriors cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse. Lan Liao and Bai Xue both came from the era of war. Weapon Princesses will find it difficult to grow if they do not experience life and death."

"If you can collect her remains, I can repair them for you for free. At least saving her life shouldn't be a problem."

"If you're worried about memory loss, have her leave a part of her spine at the Mars base to preserve her core memories."

"The target is also a killer rat; it won't scavenge the corpse, and it will lose interest after killing it. This is a biological characteristic."

"Whether or not to do it is up to you, as her current owner."

Although the warlord's voice sounded indifferent.

But it clearly provided a lot of support.

Zhou Yi then remotely inquired about Pikachu through the electric cat—it was currently on vacation.

The electric cat's head instructor thought about it for a long time.

“Chairman, we’ve encountered killer rats before. They’re strong, but not very smart… If we can make good use of their tendency to attack and their preference for light-type creatures, I think there’s a lot of room for maneuver.”

"Because they're destined to die from impacting a dust storm, their memories will be completely wiped, and then the light core will simply reshape their bodies. Since they're courting death anyway, it's not a bad thing if the witch can grow stronger in the process."

Zhou Yi then made his decision.

He looked at the Weapon Girl waiting for a response: "You are allowed to go hunting on Mars, but you must be managed by the Mars Affairs Department."

The witch's usually cold face suddenly flushed with joy, and her head even started to heat up and steam from her excitement.

She nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice: "I'll do whatever you say. As long as you let me go fight monsters, I'll do anything!"

Zhou Yi pondered to himself.

This matter can only be left for Lord Mieding to worry about.

Fortunately, the Mars base has satellites, so it can observe the body at any time, and at least timely retrieval should not be a problem.
