The planet in the picture has certain similarities with the ecological environment of the Earth, but it also has many differences.

According to tests, the atmosphere here contains a catalyst that accelerates the growth of plants, causing the vegetation here to be extremely lush.

The tall rainforest occupies more than 70% of the land area here, making normal development very troublesome.

And just looking from space, Li Wenyuan didn't see any visible ruins on the surface of the planet, which was quite different from the Earth.

"...are there really human remains here?"

He couldn't help but think so, and immediately launched an all-round investigation of the planet, and soon got an unexpected result.

"Is there any trace of the spacecraft crashing?"

The image from the drone was recording the burning wreckage of a spacecraft. It was even emitting thick smoke and looked like it had just fallen here.

However, this incident only attracted a little attention from Li Wenyuan. His focus was still on finding human remains.

Soon the drones were flying towards the rainforest covered with tall plants.

The average height of the plants here is over 100 meters, and the overly lush branches and leaves completely block the observation from space.

Li Wenyuan believes that it is very likely that human relics will be hidden in the rainforest.

At this time, while the drone group was scanning the rainforest, another group of people was also fleeing in panic.

"Boss, what's going on with these weird guys?"

"I do not know either!"

These two figures who were running away like crazy were the pirates who came to this planet in a desperate attempt. At this time, they no longer had the arrogance they had when they first arrived, only faces full of fear and regret.

Among them, the pirate leader was particularly remorseful. Now he wished he could give himself a slap in the face a few hours ago.

His original idea was very simple. Since the two of them could no longer survive in the interstellar world, they would find an indigenous planet to dominate and let the indigenous people worship them as gods until the end of their lives.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the result is cruel.

There are indeed "indigenous people" on this planet, but these "indigenous people" are very dangerous.

The pirate leader who had just arrived was very arrogant at first. He felt that he had interstellar weapons in his hands. What kind of things could he not take down?

Then he was severely punished.

Countless monkey-like creatures were chasing the two of them, and the bodies evolved in the forest were more suitable for traveling than the pirates.

The strong muscles and seemingly never-ending strength kept these creatures following closely. If the power armor worn by the pirates had not been efficient enough, they would have been overtaken long ago.

"Boss! Do you still have grenades? The distance between us and those guys seems to be gradually getting closer!"

After hearing what the pirate boy said, the pirate leader also looked back, but his pupils shrank and he found that there was only about ten meters between them.

For this reason, the pirate leader had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw the last few grenades towards the rear.

A huge explosion sounded in the rain forest. This old-fashioned grenade can produce strong light and loud noise, and its impact power is not bad.

Although it has been eliminated in the interstellar world, it is still okay to scare most of the indigenous creatures.

However, dozens of those monkey-like creatures were transformed into a splatter of flesh and blood in the violent explosion, spreading on the rainforest vegetation.

However, the remaining creatures did not suffer any confusion because of this. They were like efficient killing machines, not afraid of the death of their companions, and still carried out the task of chasing and killing.

What is even more surprising is that the flesh and blood tissues scattered everywhere still maintain a certain degree of autonomy.

They began to crawl slowly, and gradually gathered together as time passed, regrouping into those monkey-like creatures.

After these "reborn" creatures stayed in place for a while, their eyes regained their vigor and they soon continued to chase deeper into the forest.

And this is exactly why the pirates fled in panic. They found that all the weapons they had were unable to completely kill these terrifying creatures.

This tenacious vitality has completely exceeded their knowledge, and even the genetic engineering they are familiar with cannot reach this level.

So they could only grit their teeth and run away, praying to find a safe refuge before the power armor's energy ran out.

The unusual movement in the rainforest was not noticed by Li Wenyuan. His drone had not yet scanned this location, and now his attention was attracted by another thing.

Because he saw a "statue".

Calling it a statue is actually a bit wrong, but Li Wenyuan couldn't find any other words to describe the scene in front of him.

In the picture, countless thick vines are climbing up a giant tree, twisting and twisting, and vaguely forming a muscular texture.

The giant tree being climbed is also very strange. Its foundation is composed of two trees.

The two trees somehow came together during the growth process, and finally grew the remaining parts together.

But from Li Wenyuan's point of view, this seems to be showing the posture of a humanoid creature with its legs straddled.

The branches of the giant tree are also very strange, with two branches and leaves growing inexplicably in the upper part of the middle.

This is somewhat different from the growth benchmark of this rainforest vegetation.

In order to carry out photosynthesis, these tall plants will try their best to grow upward and spread their branches and leaves at the highest point to compete with other plants.

This situation will lead to a sharp reduction in sunlight distribution under the canopy, which can hardly meet the needs of photosynthesis.

Therefore, these trees often have a bare root below the crown, and no extra nutrients are used to grow useless branches and leaves.

The branches of this giant tree growing in this position are obviously a bit strange, and from Li Wenyuan's perspective, they may represent "both arms".

"...Why is there such a strange tree?"

Li Wenyuan was a little hard to understand, although at first he thought it was just some kind of coincidence or mutation that made the tree grow like this.

But slowly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a statue, deliberately grown like this to commemorate some kind of humanoid creature.

"Will it be human? Or some other alien species?"

He was still thinking when he suddenly noticed an abnormal signal coming from the "life intensity detector".

The value that originally represented "all is calm" is rising sharply, and the entire windless rainforest is shaking slightly at this time.

Li Wenyuan was suddenly alert, and his perspective instantly switched to other drones located above the rainforest.

I saw that the vast sea of ​​trees seemed to be waking up from their slumber, and the tall vegetation that should not be able to sway on its own was actively trembling, as if it wanted to soften its stiff body.

Not only that, but the indigenous creatures living peacefully on the planet seem to have received some kind of call and are heading in a certain direction like a pilgrimage.

It is rare to see a large number of animals running around, and what is happening here is like a landslide and tsunami.

Even looking from space, Li Wenyuan could see large groups of animals moving together with his naked eyes.

The whole planet seemed to come alive at this time.

It was impossible for him not to pay attention to this shocking scene. Following the guidance of the "life intensity detector", he also controlled a large number of drones to fly in the direction of the animals.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at a special place.

The rainforest here is even taller, but it seems to exist to protect the short tree in the center.

It looked so unremarkable at first glance that even Li Wenyuan almost skipped it.

But the data on the "Life Strength Detector" showed that this tree was the source of all previous abnormalities.

And it was only then that he noticed that under the seemingly small trees were countless thick roots that penetrated deep into the earth.

It is difficult to imagine how far these rhizomes have spread, but Li Wenyuan has a vague feeling that perhaps the entire land is covered by a network of rhizomes.

The inconspicuous little tree noticed the arrival of the drone and swayed slightly.

Then the scientific research spacecraft far away in space received a special signal wave at this time.

Li Wenyuan's eyes moved slightly, allowing the spacecraft to translate the signal, and soon, he saw something that made his pupils shrink.

"Welcome to you again, pioneer of mankind."
