Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 717
717 The Mystery of Genetics
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately after, another sharp stone spike darted out of the ground from another direction.
It almost pierced through the other miner’s heart!
“Oh, no! Deploy defensive measures! Hurry! There’s an unknown presence!”
The commander noticed the situation and quickly gave the order.
Soon after, the workers retreated from the mine.
There were soldiers with loaded guns who wanted to capture this monster and figure out its identity.
Why would it appear in a diamond mine?
Da da da!
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Spikes began to drill out of the mine continuously!
There were no less than thirty densely packed spikes.
“What kind of monster is this? Record it quickly and send the footage to Director Wu Mo on the main planet!”
“Yes!”
Before long, Wu Mo saw the true appearance of the giant beast.
It looked like a pangolin, but its huge body was more than ten meters long.
There were also many sharp bone spikes on its body.
Each bone spike was more than twenty meters long. There were thirty-eight of them in total!
When the giant beast appeared, Wu Mo immediately thought of a character from a certain online game that he liked in the past.
Now that such a thing was appearing in reality, it was unbelievable!
“Oh, it looks like a Zerg[1], doesn’t it?”
An assistant beside him seemed to be on the same page.
Speaking of beasts, a thought arose in everyone’s mind. Could this creature be some kind of monster?
This giant pangolin had appeared from another planet.
Current technology identified it as an extraterrestrial life form!
“Be careful. Don’t get yourself hurt,” Wu Mo said slowly. Try to catch it.”
“Yes, Mr. Wu. We’ll proceed now.”
The commander on Dark Star then ordered his subordinates to surround it.
“Don’t go near it. The beast might have some kind of special attack!”
Wu Mo did not forget to let them protect themselves.
After all, the beast looked fierce and might even activate certain skills.
However, the extraterrestrial creature went completely crazy right then!
Rawr!
The alien roared, and even Wu Mo, as well as the others on Earth, heard this!
At this moment, everyone seemed to recall the time when sea monsters ran amok.
This giant beast was not a creature of the sea, but it looked very similar to those sea monsters.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Wu Mo. He had unwittingly thought of a shocking possibility!
“Could it be one of the sea monsters? Could it be the beast that ran away from that huge planet?”
Wu Mo’s expression immediately darkened when he thought about it.
Had he discovered the origin of the sea monster era?
In other words, the creature before him might have the ability to survive underwater.
Just then, an electromagnetic pulse cannon appeared on the battlefield and fired at the giant beast!
Bang bang bang!
The creature moved slowly, and the spikes on its body exploded one after another under the concentrated firepower. As a result, sparks flew everywhere.
However, it was obvious that the cannons could not damage it.
Therefore, it continued to move forward despite the bombardment of artillery fire.
“It’s escaping! Be careful!”
At this time, a member of the Special Forces raised an electromagnetic pulse cannon in his hand and chased after the monster.
It quickly crossed a hill and arrived at a grassland.
However, the grassland was extremely dangerous!
It was a very spacious place, which allowed the humans to concentrate their firepower.
Bang bang bang!
Electromagnetic cannons and medium-sized fighter jets in the air bombarded the huge creature.
In response, the huge creature emitted green smoke all over its body as if it would explode at any moment.
This monster was tenacious. It withstood all the attacks and continued to move forward!
Everyone was stunned.
No one had expected its defense to be that insane.
“Unless there’s a nuclear explosion, we won’t be able to injure it at all!”
The commander immediately contacted his home planet in hopes of getting instructions from Wu Mo.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
“Let’s utilize some explosives! Try not to kill him!”
Then, they quickly positioned a miniature nuclear bomb and fired it at the struggling behemoth before them.
Boom!
A mushroom cloud slowly rose and dyed the distant sky a faint gray.
Everyone used binoculars to take in the situation on the mountain peak.
After a long time, a person in a special protective suit walked over and carefully examined the huge creature.
As expected, it was lying on the ground.
There were wounds all over its body, and blood continued to flow from them.
Moreover, it was green and strange-looking.
“See if it’s still alive.”
At this moment, another soldier stepped forward to check on it. He could sense a faint life force from the giant.
Therefore, the soldiers immediately tied it up.
After that, they dragged it with a truck and slowly drove toward Dark Star’s base!
When it was carried out, everyone was shocked.
“D*mn! What a huge body. Is it a pangolin?”
The huge pangolin before them was panting, and its eyes, which shone like lanterns, were filled with hatred.
Right then, some experts on the base were busy collecting blood samples from the giant beast.
At the same time, they wanted to know why this giant pangolin appeared in the mine!
Not long after, the creature’s blood samples underwent detailed experiments and analysis.
In the end, the scientists received a shocking result: The genetic similarity between this creature and humans was as high as seventy-five percent!
“No way! Seventy-five percent of its genes are similar to ours, but it looks completely different from us.”
A researcher immediately frowned and expressed his confusion.
The participants of this meeting were all the world’s most famous scientists. They all had their own research fields.
At this moment, an experienced scientist shook his head.
“It’s hard for me to imagine,” he said with a bitter smile. “A banana has similar genes to us as well. What’s going on?”
“Genetics is a very profound and complicated subject. We shouldn’t have any opinions about it!”
The others nodded in agreement.
Obviously, there was no doubt about this creature’s genetic analysis.
Based on current science and technology, this was the truth!
Everyone fell into deep thought and did not know what to do next.
Therefore, they had no choice but to report all the information they had received to Wu Mo.
