"Body... Soul... Destiny..." the old man muttered to himself, "No matter what kind of secret it is, it is conceivable that for the Phoenix family, there will only be destruction left. What are we, the stone that paves the way? The cannon fodder that should be sacrificed? Or the so-called revivalist of the gods' glory... The big tree that appears and disappears always gives me an ominous premonition... "
The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pressed it down somewhere on the cliff. I only heard the sound of Ka Ka Ka and remembered that the stone wall in front of me that could not see the slightest gap was actually separated from the middle, and it was like a stone gate, slowly opening to both sides.
The old man hesitated for a moment, and then slowly entered the stone gate. The door of the stone wall was slowly closed behind him, and the sound insulation was surprisingly good, and the lively sound in the stone door did not leak out at all.
Yes, inside this seemingly quiet stone wall, the lights are bright and lively.
In a huge cage on a high platform not far away, a more bloody and tragic fight is being staged than the competition from the arena just now. There are about thirteen or four living creatures fighting between life and death. There are beasts and ferocious birds. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and red, and it was obvious that they had entered a state of madness.
There were countless corpses on the ground of the cage, more and more dead creatures, the collision sound exploded violently, and countless blood and flesh splashed, and in the end only two people survived.
"Prepare to be drugged!" someone said loudly.
In the next second, someone quickly spilled a powerful drug over the cage. Although the remaining two people in the cage swayed a few times, they still fell to the ground.
Everyone off the court is orderly, even in the face of the most brutal bloody fights, they look as usual. Obviously, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, but it has become an organized and large-scale thing!
When the old man entered this underground venue, he stood in the darkness, and almost no one could feel his presence when he restrained his qi. Of course, with the exception of certain people who have been notified of permission.
A middle-aged man dressed in gray walked quietly to the old man's side, and said with a wide-eyed smile: "Your Excellency High Priest, today's experiment has still made gratifying progress. After taking this medicine, the combat effectiveness of any creature will increase by at least 100%. fifty."
Originally, there were still people watching the man in gray, but when he was less than a meter away from the old man, everyone turned their attention away. The man in gray did not disappear, but everyone no longer paid attention to him... It was like, the man in gray suddenly lost his presence in front of everyone. Like a pebble on the side of the road, it does exist, but almost no one pays attention to it.
When the high priest of the Phoenix Clan heard this, he was not as happy as the man in gray, and said indifferently: "At the same time as they have gained great power, they will also lose their sanity completely."
The man in gray had a stiff smile on his face, "This is just a small problem, we can definitely solve it."
"Feng Xu, you're very smart, that's good." The high priest said lightly, "But don't let your smartness blind your eyes."
The high priest took a few steps forward and slammed a few times on the medicine Feng Xu had researched these days, "This medicine of yours has long been out in the outside world, and it has reached its peak."
Feng Xu's face was full of incredible expressions, "How is this possible? I have studied for so many years... How could someone be faster than me?!"
The high priest nodded lightly, "Indeed, no one is faster than you."
Feng Xu was at a loss for a moment, then his face immediately turned pale, and he realized, "His Excellency High Priest, I was wrong. In the future, I will let go of my arrogance and do my best to plan for the Phoenix family!"
No one is faster than him, so whoever is faster than him must be a god! God... No matter how proud he is, he knows that it is an existence that he cannot touch no matter what!
"In the outside world, it is the mutant creatures infected with the virus that bring a crisis to mankind this time. Some of them not only have the power of continuous evolution, but also retain a clear thinking. This kind of creature is called a power user. And evolutionary creatures. The other kind is somewhat similar to your current research direction, they lost their sanity and most of their perception, and exchanged great power at the cost. Even these failed products in this virus infection They also have the ability to evolve, and they will usher in a new life at the sixth level."
"Upgrading... Upgrading..." Feng Xu muttered to himself, "It's almost impossible! People in our world are already limited in their abilities at birth!! They can't evolve at all..."
Feng Xu kept tearing at his hair, looking very manic!
"Calm down!" The High Priest shouted, "Are you going to give in like this? Think about it, who is the person who has increased the combat power of the living beings in this world by 50% these days? Feng Xu, you are already good enough, you don't need to. Go to the horns!"
Feng Xu quickly calmed down, "Yes, I will try my best."
Glancing at Feng Xu lightly, the high priest said, "Very good, the Mesozoic and even Cenozoic generations of the Phoenix family are excellent. I am very relieved that the future Phoenix family is in your hands."
These words are serious first, as if explaining the future, Feng Xu was stunned for a moment, "His Excellency High Priest..."
"It's nothing..." The high priest waved his hand lightly, stopping Feng Xu's next words, "I'm just a little confused... Although I have always positioned myself as the savior of the Phoenix family, in fact, the person who died directly and indirectly died at my hands. I don't know how many people there are. The ancestors set the rules, and the people who kill each other will be punished with the crime of killing... I probably can't alleviate my guilt by being thrown into the Nine Serenity Hell."
"Your High Priest, please don't have such thoughts!!" Feng Xu's eyes were wet with excitement, "Everything the high priest is doing now is for the future of the Phoenix family! Sacrifice is inevitable, but the Phoenix family is under the high priest's honor. Under the leadership, it will surely lead to freedom and brilliance!"
The high priest, who had always had a serious face, smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that I would be comforted by you... Yes, the Phoenix family must be free and brilliant. Before that, any sacrifice is worthwhile, and any obstacles should be removed. "
Feng Xu grinned, "His Excellency High Priest, I heard that there are guests in the clan today, and they are from the outside world... Do you need to kill them?!"
When he said the last sentence, Feng Xu's tone was already murderous!
The high priest shook his head slightly, "I have a hunch that the hope that our family can change the established path of destruction this time lies in the outsiders this time."
"Hope?" Feng Xu shook his head, "His Excellency High Priest, I don't understand that. All I know is that every time outsiders come, it is a precursor to our clan's annihilation! If we don't take the opportunity to get rid of them now, it will be too late."
Ordinary Phoenix clansmen, living in confusion and ignorance, only know that their duty and destiny is to help the chosen ones to pacify the disasters in the outside world, but they don't know that since the moment the outsiders come, they have been pressed down on the countdown of life. !
In order to prevent the spread of panic among the clan, only three people know about this matter, the high priest, Feng Xu, and the current patriarch of the Phoenix clan!
The high priest took a bottle of potion in his hand and played with it carefully, "Do you think they have no intention of defending us now! Our family was not very vigilant against outsiders that time, defending, assassinating, poisoning, and preventing fire... However, every time Once, my family was almost wiped out in the end! It means that this method is not good, and we must think about the problem in a different way."
"And..." The high priest gently put down the white porcelain medicine. He seemed to remember something, and his eyes showed a light that seemed to be both longing and fear. "And this time is different, especially different..."
"Congratulations, condolences! Have you brought all the toiletries? Don't forget!" Shen Qingjia quickly packed up all kinds of toiletries, and didn't forget to turn around to remind Zhumu.
Zhu Ai glanced at her lightly, "I'm not you!"
Although he was despised again, Shen Qingjia was still in a good mood. He smiled and looked at the darkening sky outside the wooden house, and said with great anticipation, "I heard that bathing in a hot soup pool is the best when the moon is rising."
Zhu Ai was silent for a moment, and smiled slightly, "Let's go earlier, we can also see the unique scenery here along the way. I saw the scenery here is very beautiful before, it seems that the outside world also existed before the end of the world. Not enough."
Shen Qingjia couldn't wait for a long time. Hearing this, there is no reason not to agree.
Shen Qingjia wished the two of them a fifth-order peak and an almost unknown strength, and soon found the hot soup pool that Yuren said earlier. The female Yuto who is in charge of the management here is very enthusiastic, and briefly introduced the two of them about the better use of the hot soup pool, and even assigned them the best soup pool compartment.
"Ah, I have a question to ask the two guests..." The female Yuren scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Do you want one compartment or two, because after our Yuren people become adults, no matter what? Same-sex or opposite-sex are more used to bathing alone... But I don't know I don't know the habits of the guests."
Shen Qingjia didn't know what to think, and a faint red immediately floated on her cheeks. It would be fine if they were just ordinary close friends, but speaking of it, she has never seen Zhu Mie without clothes... It's only the first time The first time they met, the two rolled out of the smelly sewer, and both of them removed their clothes, washed and baked... That time, she only saw Zhu Ai's smooth, slender, white legs...
Zhu Ai lowered her head and looked at Shen Qingjia's face carefully. She smiled softly: "Qingjia looks like this, does she really want to bathe with me? That's right, I'm looking forward to it."
