In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She could feel her voice following the call to the distance.

But there was no response.

Not only Maria was missing, but all her companions were also missing.

At the same time, a strange chirping sound came to her ears.

'messenger……'

'comminicate……'

"Messenger? Communication?"

Helatia repeated the source of the sound, but after a moment, her head froze again.

Because she realized that the voice used a tone and pronunciation that she had never heard of before... This should be a strange language to her.

but……

But she understood the meaning.

“Just a homophone?”

An idea popped into Helatia's mind.

But soon, she put it out of her mind again.

Not too possible.

She could feel that this was what the other party wanted to convey.

only……

Why do I know this?

Helatia frowned.

But soon, she felt a warmth on her head again.

Then, severe pain came and she felt a tingling sensation in the back of her neck!

how? !

Helatia was suddenly stunned, as if something had detached from her face, and she regained the ability to breathe!

"Ha ha……"

She subconsciously began to breathe heavily, and her face turned ugly.

But such panting made the back of her neck hurt even more.

only……

"Wait a moment..."

Just when Helatia was feeling uncomfortable, Maria reached out and gently pinched Helatia's nose.

As her face flushed with discomfort, Maria poured the blood from her wrist onto the manta ray-like creature.

With the contact of blood, the tentacle that had pierced the back of Helatia's neck began to shrink rapidly, and finally, under Maria's watchful eyes, it gently withdrew...

"Forehead……"

Because there was no obstruction, blood immediately gushed out of Helatia's throat wound.

But Maria said nothing. She was silent for a few moments, then she dipped her finger in some blood and gently smeared it on the other person's wound.

After just a few strokes, Helatia found that the wound on her neck began to itch and heat up.

After a few strokes, signs of healing began to appear!

"This……"

Helatia touched the back of her smooth neck and looked at the strange-looking creature on the ground.

She discovered that there were a large number of similar creatures around her and others.

However, they have all been neatly divided in half...

"What's this……"

There was no fear after escaping death, nor was there fear of the unknown. Helatia was worthy of the title of Archon. After seeing the situation at the scene, she realized what she had just encountered.

After she simply checked for a while, her expression changed.

"This thing... I've never seen it before."

Although Helatia is no longer engaged in this field, she did study marine ecology in her earlier years.

It's not that she didn't try to understand what parasitic life forms were like.

But she can conclude that these things are definitely not the result of natural evolution!

"The ganglion at the tail is specifically designed to connect to the human brain... and the arms are just large enough to wrap around the human brain. This thing was created specifically to parasitize humans!"

Although Algor has lived in the ocean for tens of thousands of years, it is still too short for the evolution of life!

This kind of creature specifically targeting humans may appear, but before it, there should be more initial forms!

Something's wrong...

This is very wrong!

Helatia immediately turned her head and looked at Maria beside her.

"what is this?"

Helatia frowned. Although she didn't know what this thing was, but... Maria seemed to know how to deal with it.

This means that Maria at least has some understanding of this thing.

If there were some terrifying enemy with high-intensity combat capabilities, or some bomb powerful enough to destroy the entire continent, Helatia might not be so panicked.

Because she knew that most of the people who came here were Agor's top scholars of various fields, and through communication with each other, they could find some solutions.

But this creature...

"Only eight hundred natural hours have passed since we first came into contact with this place..."

Helatia whispered, her fingers slowly running across the creatures' bodies again.

After seeing its internal structure, Helatia was even more certain of her thoughts.

It has no mouth for eating and no internal digestive organs. Almost everything it has is for the purpose of parasitizing humans.

From the moment such a creature is born, its life is destined to last no more than a few minutes.

This might even be considered longevity.

"This is an existence that appears specifically for humans."

After eight hundred natural hours, this is the result...

If Helatia guessed correctly, the voice she just heard was not an auditory hallucination, and her understanding was not a wrong understanding.

The other party did make a sound, and I really couldn't understand it, but...

The nerve endings that pierced the back of his neck triggered his perception, forcing him to understand these contents!

Just eight hundred hours! And he's already cracked the secrets of the brain?!

Helatia couldn't imagine what kind of creature would appear if she gave the other party more time!

"These things... are called Haisi..."

Maria glanced at it and slid her fingers lightly in the air a few times.

Soon, several chopped-off monster corpses fell to the ground, which made Helatia frown suddenly.

"Haisi...Ocean Child...Ha, this name is really quite uncomfortable."

Helatia took a deep breath and immediately picked up the pager beside her.

"Helatia here, how are the wounded? I repeat, how are the wounded?"

"Sisi——"

There was no response, no audio, only a silence as dead as death.

Helatia didn't give up, and switched channels several times and called again.

Only after she tried every last channel did she lower her head and sigh.

"Did you disturb me?"

Helatia rubbed her brows, obviously it was the first time she encountered such a thing.

But she knew that she couldn't panic at this time.

After exchanging a glance with Maria, she immediately turned around and walked back in the direction she came from.

Fortunately, they were not very far away and soon returned to the main group.

And here, a large group of people were sitting around, looking for a good place to rest.

"command……"

After seeing Helatia coming, everyone was quite surprised and didn't know why she came back.

But when Helatia saw everyone, she spoke immediately.

"Who else has a communicator?"

"Um...I do."

Someone close to Helatia said, taking out the instrument.

Helatia called out several times, but still no response.

Obviously, it wasn't that her equipment was broken, but simply that this place restricted communication.

This silenced Helatia.

The others also realized that something seemed amiss. After a moment of silence, they spoke cautiously.

"Commander...what's wrong?"

"…something happened."

Helatia was silent for a few moments, then told the whole story.

When the scientists present heard what Helatia said about the life that appeared specifically for humans, their first reaction was only one.

"That's impossible, Commander, we have to stick to science..."

"Even if such a creature existed, it would have undergone a long evolutionary process, perhaps even coexisting with us... but you only said eight hundred hours..."

Everyone shook their heads, thinking that Helatia was joking.

But when they saw Helatia's expression without a smile, they realized that things might be getting serious...

“Is…really?!”

Everyone's faces were a little distorted.

They looked at each other, their gazes sharper.

But Helatia didn't say much. She just took a few deep breaths and looked at everyone.

"This is just a reminder. Because there are wounded, you cannot move your positions at will. But based on this, I require all those who have received training to be vigilant, especially around corners and ceilings... If nothing unexpected happens, they should have attacked from these places."

Helatia warned everyone a few more times, asked about the direction others were heading, turned around, and started moving again.

Maria just followed silently with a calm expression.

It didn't take too much time, and soon Maria and Helatia found most of the scientific researchers who were acting separately.

Many of them even wander around in places that are obviously high-risk areas without knowing the consequences, just to search every place that may have valuable collections.

This made Helatia feel helpless.

But she was also glad.

Although they have been courting death, at least these people are safe and have not encountered any attacks.

The team quickly regrouped.

Apart from……
