Chapter 619 Analyzing the Praying Mantis
There are only so many materials for the praying mantis monster, and they will be collected soon.As for the steel all over the floor, it was automatically ignored. These things were of little value to Qi Xing and the others, but Tana could ask someone to drag them away. Maybe the scribes would be interested in these things in the future.

After that, everyone searched for the lost airship crew, brought them together to the Black Wolf, and sent them to the nearest village.

Meanwhile, Qi Xing and the others were reminiscing about the past in the captain's room. It was rare that so many people came, and the room seemed quite crowded.

Qi Xing found seats for everyone, and after they all sat down, he began to explain what happened recently.

"Speaking of which, the praying mantis monster will suddenly attack you, which may have some reasons for our influence."

Qi Xing said with some embarrassment, and then talked about what happened a few days ago.

A few days ago, after the three of Qi Xing discovered the monster's laboratory, or lair, they immediately wrote a report and notified others.When Gu Qiuyang and the others rushed over at full speed, Qi Xing couldn't sit still.

The monster's laboratory had a great impact on them. After all, they had never seen a monster with such high intelligence. I'm afraid they could communicate with each other if they went too far.This kind of shock is almost as weird as when the chicken breast suddenly started talking when I was preparing dinner at home one day.

Human beings are always afraid of the unknown, and fear makes people overestimate the unknown.

The more Qi Xing thought about it that night, the more he felt something was wrong. Although they cleaned up the traces they left behind carefully, but with such high intelligence, the monster might be able to easily detect something wrong in the room?
After the monster discovers these traces, it will naturally react immediately.How would a monster with such high intelligence react?The more Qi Xing thought about it, the more frightened he became.

That being the case, why not act first?

Qi Xing got up to look for Lin and his old sister, and found that the other two also had the same idea.

So the three decided to return to the laboratory.

They want to observe carefully in the room where the monsters store corpses and machinery, and through the traces left, they plant a large amount of explosives in the places where monsters often access objects.If the monster walks into these areas, it will be seriously injured by the explosion immediately.

But immediately, Lin dismissed the idea.

Monsters are extremely sensitive to the details in the living area. Ordinary monsters can detect the sudden difference around them. Since the mantis monster has a high IQ, it is naturally very likely to find the explosives in the two rooms.So the plan to try to blow it up was rejected.

So Qi Xing and Lin started brainstorming, discussing new plans.

Qi Mingyue was not good at hunting plans, and when they were discussing, she sat on the side a bit bored, unable to get in a sentence out of ten.But it was precisely because she had nothing to do that she found a new way of thinking.

When Qi Xing had nothing else to do, she took a closer look at the pictures on the wall left by Qi Xing before, trying to find some details.

She didn't expect it to be so careful, it really made her aware of the weirdness.

Qi Xing and Lin chatted enthusiastically, and when he turned around, he suddenly found his sister's face full of shock, only to realize that she had made a new discovery:
The writing on the wall is not a new language!It's an imitation of a language that already exists!

"Imitation body?"

When Gu Qiuyang heard this, he repeated a sentence with some confusion.

Qi Mingyue nodded triumphantly, and explained: "Let's put it this way, all languages ​​follow certain rules. For example, the beginning of each sentence is very likely to be the subject, and there is a high probability that it will be "you, me, him" or a certain name. Then you can further deduce the predicate and the object. In addition, according to the different systems of pictographs and phonograms, you can try to deduce the representative meaning of each symbol. Anyway, there are many words on the wall, so try to decipher them based on this, and you can also draw some results.

All in all, after preliminary attempts, I found that these words are actually a language that already exists in this world.The reason why I didn't recognize it at the first time was because the language was quite small, and the second was because the characters carved by the monster through the scythe had been distorted, which was already too different from the original body, making it difficult to recognize. "

Guan Ting's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Qi Xing after a while, and said in a low voice, "Your sister is really smart."

Qi Xing nodded in agreement, and then found that Fang Zhu who was sitting in the corner was also nodding sharply.

Gu Qiuyang was even more curious about the monster's intelligence: "So it was deciphered? What did the monster write on it?"

"It's much simpler than imagined," Qi Mingyue said, "The monster's IQ is indeed very high, but it does not have the support of civilization like human beings, just like the tribal people in the primitive era. No matter how high the IQ is, it is difficult to develop What.

The wall text only roughly recorded the experimental records, some memos, some simple thoughts, and some records left by monsters who were scared at night in their dreams. "

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, the painting style of this mural completely dissipated the horror of the intelligent monster.

Although, being able to have a fear of dreams itself shows that the monster's thinking ability has indeed reached the human level, and it is extremely careful and terrifying.But everyone inexplicably couldn't feel a sense of fear.

Qi Mingyue smiled slightly: "In any case, through these words, we can be sure that the IQ of the mantis monster is a special case of the group, similar to the variation of the two monsters. Its other groups do not have a similar IQ to it, at best it is very Good at imitating."

"What does it mean to be good at imitation?" Yoyo wondered.

"This is a bit beyond my scope of expertise," Qi Mingyue looked at Lin, "Sister Lin, let you explain it next."

"Ok."

Lin cleared his throat, and continued following the topic just now: "What I just said is good at imitating is a kind of nature of creatures. Monsters like peach-haired beasts will learn from humans trying to use tools, and learn from birds flapping their arms from heights. They fall everywhere. They will imitate other creatures and try to do various things, even if they can't do it themselves. This is the nature of imitation.

Although the IQ of the praying mantis monster that left the text is far superior to that of its peers, it also retains a strong imitative nature.It will use steel to create the strongest monster in its mind according to what it has seen before.In addition, its brethren seem to have a similar nature, but due to limited IQ, the monsters created should be more clumsy, and most of them are not as big as the steel behemoth. "

Tana on the side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, if that kind of steel giant is everywhere, I really don't know how to deal with it."

"We were also relieved at the time." Lin nodded in agreement.

Gu Qiuyang recalled the appearance of the giant steel beast, frowned and muttered: "It's strange, but there is still a prototype of that giant steel beast, have you ever seen a similar monster?"

Lin shook his head: "There is indeed an ancient dragon named 'Laoshan Dragon'. It is huge and can cause landslides and earthquakes just by moving. But as far as I know, Laoshan Dragon has no wings."

Qi Xing smiled slightly: "That's easy to explain. After the monster made the model of the old mountain dragon, it felt more handsome with the right wings."

"It's like when I was drawing when I was a child, I would always draw a monster with a head and then add wings." Guan Ting also had a sympathy.

Qi Mingyue pouted: "We're talking about business, be serious."

Lin smiled, and didn't care about Qi Xing's interruption, but admitted: "Actually, maybe this is really the truth. With the IQ of that praying mantis monster, it is indeed very possible to assemble the characteristics of several different monsters together , to create the strongest monster.

But the most surprising thing is that with the fighting power of the praying mantis monster, ordinary flying dragons should not be regarded by it, and naturally they will not think that having a pair of wings is a symbol of strength.So the question is, what monster gave it the concept of 'wings represent strength'? "
