It was still that kind of terrifying monster that looked like a giant octopus, still that method of devouring that directly enveloped a massive planet, still that frightening life form that absorbed everything.
The Three People and One Dragon watched in shock, as they were 'close enough' to see clearly, the details of the slave race were vividly presented before their eyes.
There were some photos and images of this kind circulating among the All Races of the Universe, but because they couldn't get too close, the details inevitably became distorted after high magnification; they were simply too far away.
They believed that if what they saw were turned into recorded images, they could definitely sell them for a good price when they returned.
“It seems like… an adult, no, it should be a mid-generation slave race,” Jie Su whispered and then realized that they could actually speak in this space.
The other two didn't respond, but they thought the same.
Ye Zhongming understood what Jie Su meant. Regarding the slave race, due to the lack of distinct characteristics among individuals, aside from the mother body, the differences were not very significant from a distance.
Of course, with the current technological level of the All Races of the Universe and the years of research on the slave race, there was naturally a wealth of information records. So even someone like Ye Zhongming, who had just arrived, could recognize this slave race’s 'rank' from those details.
The terms first generation and mid-generation were just private names used by the All Races of the Universe to refer to the slave race, corresponding to the official classifications of newborn and adult categories. However, the power of the slave race at adulthood was simply too exaggerated, and there was no way for the entire All Races of the Universe to respond effectively. Thus, there was no further subdivision during the adult stage, and only the mother body was specifically listed.
In an unofficial capacity, to further detail the individualization of the slave race, they divided the adult and above slave race into adult, mid-generation, and first generation, representing the three power stages of the slave race.
Due to the uniqueness of the slave race, essentially, the longer they lived, the stronger they became. Adult represented just having passed the newborn phase and becoming a mature individual. Mid-generation represented having lived for a certain number of years, with robust strength; the first generation, in meaning, referred more to the first generation descendants of the slave race's mother body. At least from the perspective of the All Races of the Universe, they were not much different from the mother body of the slave race.
The slave race occupying the planet hunting grounds should be a mid-generation existence with great strength, which also matched the slave races' planet selection criteria.
After that, the group returned inside the planet, where the war had already resumed.
Parasites began to appear and rapidly developed in certain unknown places. By the time the planet's life forms discovered them, these parasites had already taken shape and were no longer so easy to exterminate.
The war continued, and the control area of the parasites changed from just a few scattered patches in the initial stages to gradually covering the entire globe.
Some particularly powerful individuals emerged among them, even the beings on the planet that could fly into the universe had no means against them.
In Jie Su and the others' eyes, that was at least the level of a peak expert.
Moreover, the reproduction speed of these parasites was astonishingly fast, to the point of being endless. Even though their overall strength was still inferior to the planet's natives, they could hold an advantage in numbers locally. Once they won a battle, they would absorb enough energy, reproduce even more, or generate powerful individuals.
This abhorrent method tilted the scales of victory gradually in this war.
