Starship: Traveling with Monsters

For many creatures, it is just a carrier and a symbol of action. The reason they need it is because they need to migrate, move, and find food to survive. To do these things, they are indispensable. necessary condition.

But there is such a strange creature in the universe, they don't have... no, it should be said, they don't have a specific location or image.They are good at simulating any creature, and can change their body into another look at will. Because they are small in number and weak, they always survive in the cracks, quietly hide in a certain population, and simulate themselves as creatures in the population appearance, and then depend on this population to live.

This kind of strange creature is called 'mask' by most cosmic races, which means that they are good at camouflage, but this kind of creature is generally harmless, they just need a place to live and support, and will not cause fatal damage or threat to other creatures , so many populations in the universe, even if they find that there is a 'mask' lurking in their own population, they will not expose him too fiercely.

But the 'masks' also have an interesting ability, they can not only make themselves camouflaged, they can also be attached to other creatures to help that creature camouflage.

To put it succinctly, it seems like a truly perfect mask, once you put it on, you will completely change into another person.

Ji Yan is wearing such a 'mask'.

After all, Ji Yan is not a real earthling, so it is impossible for him to look like an earthling, but in order not to attract attention, Ji Yan specially found a 'mask' to put on himself, so he put on a mask. A layer of human skin, swindling and cheating on the earth to do whatever they want...

It's just a mask, there will always be a day when it will be taken off.

Being shot by Lei Yu at super close range, the entire chest cavity was ruptured, bloody and bloody, but what is amazing is that Lei Yu's shot at close range can blow away all the aliens, but there is no way to shake Ji Yan's half-step distance. , Ji Yan stood there expressionless, stretched out his hand to touch the bloody flesh on his chest, and finally frowned and sighed.

"It's a pity. I'm so sorry that you were hurt by such a perfect disguise."

While Ji Yan was talking, miraculous and terrifying things happened to him. His entire face, hands, and any part of his body slowly fell off like a melted candle, and his clothes and hair all changed. It turned pale, as if a layer of skin had fallen from his body. This scene was so weird and unbelievable that Lei Yu and Biska next to him were dumbfounded.

Then, Ji Yan who took off the mask revealed his true face.

It was a creature similar to humans. Its back, hands and arms were covered with thick flight feathers. It opened its hands like huge wings. It had no hair, because the head was also covered with long and soft feathers. The feathers are white, the pupils of the eyes are dark red, and the pupils are an upside-down triangle. The facial features are similar to those of humans, and the cheeks on both sides are also covered with faint down feathers.The body is also this kind of down feathers, the fingers of the hands are slender, and there are very long, sharp and sharp feathers on the back of the fingers, and the legs are like the claws of birds. If this creature is viewed according to human aesthetics, it is actually It's stunning to have such a beautiful creature.

"Flying Feather Clan..." Biska stared blankly at Ji Yan as if remembering something.

Lei Yu was also full of puzzlement: "What Feiyu clan?"

"I've read the information about this race." Biska muttered to himself, "A race that died out tens of millions of years ago. It is rumored that they are the incarnation of birds, a group of creatures capable of creating thousands of miracles."

"That's it?" Lei Yu was a little dissatisfied because he couldn't hear more valuable information.

"Yes, that's it..." Biska shook his head, "In the document I read, there are only these few sentences recorded, and there are also examples of pictures of this kind of creature. The creature that died out thousands of years ago, now It’s incredible to see it.”

"Is it called 'Flying Feather' now?" It's unbelievable that Ji Yan can still spit out words in this form, tilting her head indistinctly: "We used to call our population 'wings' , in fact, it's almost the same as Feiyu..."

Lei Yu paused, just as he was about to say something, Ji Yan's actions in front of him startled him.Ji Yan waved his hand, his wave was terrible, a large piece of sharp feathers blew towards him, it felt like blades of blades, and it could also cause a sharp piercing sound in the air, scaring Lei Yu Quickly bow your head and squat down.

As soon as he squatted down, he heard the angry cry of an alien monster behind him. Obviously, Ji Yan just saved his life, and the monster was behind him trying to attack him.Ji Yan waved her hand to repel the monster without hesitation, and lifted her long flying feathers, as if covering Lei Yu with her wings.

The flying feathers on Ji Yan's arms are so long that they can hang down to the ground. The covered Lei Yu felt as if he had got into a fluffy feather quilt. Yes, I can't help but rub it twice, it feels unusually comfortable.

"What are you doing?" Ji Yan was obviously speechless, she lowered her head and glanced at Lei Yu who was being held in her arms, Lei Yu curled up into a ball, with an embarrassed smile, he raised his head and stared at Ji Yan flatteringly: "I'm sorry...you feel so comfortable...your body is covered with soft fluff"

Not all of Ji Yan's body is full of fluff, and there are some places where clean skin is exposed. The distribution of down feathers is very even, which just protects various important parts and vital points of the body.

"You have to be careful, I'm like a hedgehog." Ji Yan smiled maliciously: "The down feathers on my body are usually soft, but when necessary, I will harden them. When hardened, it's like a sharpener. , can cut you to blood in an instant.

So Lei Yu shuddered, and had no choice but to get out of Ji Yan's wings, and together with Biska, obediently shrank behind him.

Just like what he said, Ji Yan is not good at fighting. His only attack method is to use the hardened wings on his body to pull out one or two pieces, which are as sharp as flying knives.Moreover, Lei Yu guessed that the degree of hardening of the wings was unbelievable. It could even cut through the thick steel plate-like skin of the aliens, and the flesh of the aliens was ripped apart with just a few strokes, roaring with anger.

Monsters can attack in many ways. His speed, strength, and reaction ability are all tempered in the battle, but he still can't break through Ji Yan's fortress. Ji Yan just stands there, and the monster rushes over him. He swiped a few knives to force him back, he didn't take the initiative to attack, and he didn't show a serious attitude to defend.

But even this made the monster jump anxiously. It seemed that it was already impatient. It finally showed its fierce fangs and climbed up to the ceiling like a gecko. The claws were nailed to the ceiling, and the body retracted slightly, as if borrowing strength.

"I see." Ji Yan looked at the monster and seemed to understand something, and sighed.

"What do you mean?" Lei Yu was puzzled.

"One of my fellow time travelers has an ability he's very good at called 'Starfall'. He can climb to high places, build up a lot of air pressure with his breath, and then he'll move toward When he hits the target area, it's like a meteorite hits the ground from a height of hundreds of millions of dollars, with a large area and high damage, it can smash any creature into minced meat."

"You mean to say that this monster absorbed part of your companion's power...and turned everyone here into blood foam..." Lei Yu finally understood that there are so many blood foams lying on the second floor of the underground base. How did the flying blood come from?

"It doesn't matter, even though I have learned the strength of my companion, this monster doesn't seem to be good at all. This level of attack power...is too weak..." Ji Yan lowered his head and finally put on a defensive posture. Stretched out his flying feathers, then suddenly raised his head: "My partner, just one blow from Starfall can destroy a planet!"

The monster was finally defeated by Ji Yan, Ji Yan was not in a hurry to kill the monster, he used a few flying feathers to directly nail the monster to the wall, forcing him to be immobile.

"Tell me where your leader is?" Ji Yan looked calm. He walked up to the monster, lifted his feathers, forced the big monster to raise his head, and asked him in human language.

The monster was not afraid of death at all. He squinted his slender eyes to observe Ji Yan carefully. It was miraculous that he spoke and answered him in human language: "Soon, it will come to you..."

The monster let out a creepy laugh, his voice was hoarse and low full of malice, he suddenly moved his head close to Ji Yan, and whispered something in his ear, Lei Yu and Biska stood a little further away I couldn't make it clear, but I saw Ji Yan suddenly slammed into a rage, and slashed the flying feather in his hand fiercely, the monster responded, its big head fell to the ground, and the bright red blood splashed all over Ji Yan, dye his pure white wings red.

"Ji Yan...?" Biska was the first to speak, he walked up to Ji Yan, stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Yan's paw, Ji Yan's little paw was covered with blood, but Li Hua's feathers softened, It was soft to the touch, and Bisca's hand holding his paw trembled a little. He raised his head and looked at Ji Yan, who was half a head shorter than himself. A kind of blood pattern, like a tattoo, is entrenched on the side of the face.

"You promised me, does it still count now?" Biska asked something Lei Yu couldn't understand.

Ji Yan lowered her eyelids, allowing the beautiful feathers to cover half of her face: "Of course, cash in anytime."

Lei Yu realized that there was a secret between these two people that he didn't understand. Of course, it was a matter between other people. No matter how curious he was, he didn't have the courage to ask. He glanced at the corpse of the monster that Ji Yan had disfigured. Shaking his body, he turned his head and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Let the people from the alliance base below clean up the mess. In order not to cause trouble, let's leave here."

"But what about my grandpa?" Lei Yu was worried about his relatives.

"With the protection of the people of the alliance, how could something happen to him?"

Ji Yan turned around and squatted down. He touched a sticky transparent object on the ground. This was the layer of skin that fell from his body when he took off the mask just now. This thing seemed to be a living thing. He kept wriggling and changing his form, and finally stood up with agitation, turning into a human teenager. The boy's face was exactly the same as Ji Yan's previous human form, and even the clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as before.

"Let me introduce, this is a mask, a magical mimetic creature that can become whatever you want." Ji Yan patted the young man on the shoulder, and the young man also actively nodded towards Ji Yan , and then stretched out his hand, the whole person crawled back to Ji Yan's body like melted wax, covering him and shrinking, so he became the human being that Lei Yu and Biska had seen before juvenile.

"Is this how you cover up your true face?" Lei Yu expressed disbelief, he looked Ji Yan up and down, the mask was very well covered, and nothing unusual could be seen at all.

"Yes, that's it." Ji Yan reached out and rubbed her head.

"Wrapped in such a layer, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's a bit tight, but it's okay." Ji Yan tilted her head.

So Lei Yu exclaimed: "Oh -- this is really, too...indescribable..."
