"Who are you? Why are you here?" Tian Yang asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
The woman on the wall smiled bitterly: "Do you think I look good? My name is Xu Huan, I am a gold digger and also a history researcher. I am very interested in the history of this world."
"An unexpected discovery told me that there might be 'God's Legacy' hidden here. I told this news to my best friend, and the two of us recruited a team and came to this island to explore."
"As a result, probably everyone except me died."
Xu Huan!
This woman turned out to be Xu Huan mentioned in the diary, so she had been here for three years. For three years, she was embedded in the "wall" formed by muscle tissue and spent a thousand dark days and nights.
She must be abnormal now!
Tianyang secretly paid attention.
Yue Guang frowned slightly and said, "What happened to you here? Did you get the 'legacy of God'?"
Xu Huan shook his head: "No, 'God's Legacy' is not here, but we found a map, that is where the Sky God's Legacy is collected."
When he heard there was a map, Longdan asked excitedly, "Where is the map?"
"In the back hall, but you don't want to go there."
Xu Huan spoke quickly: "This palace was built to house the map. But after this world slipped into darkness, something else took over the palace."
"Black people?"
Tianyang asked.
Xu Huan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that it is almost everywhere in this palace. We were attacked not long after we entered here."
"When you came in, did you see some dark red mushrooms? Those are its spores, and these mushrooms will release even finer spores."
"After our companions inhaled the spores released by those mushrooms, they were parasitized by those things, and they sucked their flesh and blood. Soon new mushrooms grew out of their bodies."
"After being parasitized, they are controlled. In any place in this palace, it can release something like plant roots. Those things connect to the parasite and can read human memories, experiences, knowledge and emotions."
"So it quickly learned our weaknesses and knew how to deal with us more easily. It can also form a perception barrier in the palace. Our perception, including reconnaissance equipment, will be ineffective within the barrier, which makes it easier for it to deal with us in secret."
"Finally, it can copy our abilities, copy the abilities of material weapons or special items. It uses these abilities to turn against us, and before us, there must have been other people who came here to explore. Because some of the abilities it has demonstrated do not belong to us."
Tianyang looked at Yueguang and the others and said, "It sounds like a plant-like black creature. I have encountered it before. It is called the Demon Brain. It hides deep underground and releases a large number of insect swarms on the ground through its roots. It also creates some guards to protect itself."
"What she describes is very similar to the demon brain, but it is fundamentally different."
Longdan looked around and said, "We haven't encountered any attacks since we came in, and the girl just said that we would wake it up. This means that the thing should be dormant now."
"Okay, let's take
Just get the map and leave. There's no need to confront that thing head on."
Xu Huan on the wall smiled bitterly: "It is sleeping in the back hall. Don't even think about entering the back hall. If you get close to it, it will immediately be alert."
Tianyang stared at her: "How do you know?"
Xu Huan laughed, making everyone's scalps numb, and then she raised her head. Tian Yang then saw that under Xu Huan's hair, on her bloodless face, there were dark red roots of different sizes, densely piercing into her eyes.
"It may find me interesting, or be interested in the knowledge in my mind. So it didn't kill me, it just connected itself to me and read what was in my mind from time to time."
"Occasionally, I would gain some 'knowledge' from it that does not belong to this world, but more often, I could sense its location and emotions."
"In its world, we, with our warm flesh and blood, are the hotbed for it to grow stronger. We are its nutrients. If we are not restricted and provide nutrients infinitely, theoretically it can cover this world and even devour a planet!"
Long Dan took two steps back after hearing this: "What on earth is this..."
"reader... "
"This is what it calls itself." Xu Huan lowered his head again, "Now, you can go before it wakes up. You must go back to the fortress and let the army destroy it. Otherwise, it will be able to leave this palace and enter the sea."
“That’s when the disaster really begins.”
Tian Yang said in a deep voice: "Since it is so dangerous, let's destroy it now, before it is strong enough."
"That is impossible."
"You can't do it!"
Xu Huan shouted, "You are just giving it nutrients to grow stronger."
Tian Yang said calmly: "As long as it is a black civilian, it must have a cage of will. Destroy its cage of will, and no matter how powerful it is, it will only perish."
Xu Huan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Do you know where its will prison is? This palace can almost be regarded as its body. You are now moving inside its body, but have you seen anything like a will prison?"
"Moreover, it has more than one cage. It can also transform some of its organs at any time and turn them into cages. If it wants, it can even turn me into a cage. With so many cages, can you destroy them all?"
Is this still possible
The reader can actually transform his organs and create cages. This alone makes him a hundred times more difficult to deal with than other criminals.
Tian Yang nodded after some thought and said, "We understand. Let's go now. You can come with us."
"I can't leave."
Xu Huan sighed softly: "How do you think I have survived until now? I don't eat or drink, I don't need to sleep, and I share some of my senses with the readers."
"The reason I am still alive is because it transformed my body. Now, except for my brain, my body is occupied by the reader's roots."
"It delivers nutrients to me through those roots, and it transforms my organs to adapt to those nutrients. As soon as I leave and don't get nutrients, I will die immediately."
"I have become a vegetable, a real vegetable!"
"Place
So, before you leave, please kill me and let me be free."
Tianyang sighed inwardly, as expected, she was no longer human.
"Wait, if that's the case, why did you still guide us to find you? Wasn't it to help you get out of trouble?" Tianyang thought of the black shadow he had just seen. Now that he thinks about it, that black shadow was very similar to Xu Huan's figure.
Xu Huan shared the reader's senses and also gained some 'knowledge' that did not belong to this world, perhaps this allowed her to use some special abilities to ask for help.
This was Tianyang's thought just now, but now hearing that Xu Huan was determined to die, it contradicted what Tianyang had imagined.
"Guide?"
Xu Huan shook his head and said, "I didn't do that, why do you say that?"
"We heard sighs and saw dark shadows when we were in the outer hall. Just now in the hall outside, we also saw someone who looked like you pointing out the location of this room. Otherwise, we would not have found you so quickly." Tianyang told him frankly.
Xu Huan raised his head suddenly: "Oh no, it has woken up a long time ago, it was just dozing, it..."
The woman on the wall suddenly screamed: "It has discovered you. I can sense its thoughts. It wants to turn you into nutrients!"
"Hurry, hurry up. I'll help you buy some time."
Tianyang's face changed and he shouted, "Go!"
"Retreat immediately."
They quickly left the room and came to the main hall, where they discovered that the four-sided crystal column in the middle was emitting bright blue light. The blue light was no longer rotating slowly, and the column was now as bright as a one-million-watt light bulb, dyeing the entire palace with an eerie blue color.
Tianyang gestured and shouted to the soldiers outside: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The soldiers hurriedly ran towards the gate, but at this moment, they felt their feet heaving and they lost their balance and fell to the ground. Only Tianyang and Yueguang managed to keep their bodies steady. They looked down and saw that the muscle tissue that was as hard as rock just now was softening and moving like waves.
In this situation, how could ordinary soldiers stand firmly? As soon as they fell to the ground, the muscle tissues around them separated into a bunch of nerve-like roots, which stretched out towards the soldiers.
A soldier quickly opened fire at the roots, and soon beams of light flew across the hall.
The Xingsu rifle can cut off these roots, but as more and more roots are separated, the soldiers are distracted and finally someone's protective clothing is pierced by the roots and then penetrates into the body.
As soon as the roots entered the body, they immediately drilled into the blood vessels and then extended along the blood vessels to various organs in the human body. When they reached the organs, the ends of the roots split and spit out countless spores that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, tiny bumps began to appear on the surface of the soldier's internal organs, and then a small "red umbrella" opened up.
"Stand still!"
Yue Guang screamed, and the sword in his hand drew a sword light, and gray-blue crescent moons hung around the warriors and on the roots that stretched out. When the crescent moons twisted and shattered like an inverted moon in the water, the roots around them were blown away.
At this time, the muscle tissue in front of Tianyang and the others abnormally squirmed and separated to both sides, revealing a passage leading directly to the gate!
Tian Yang couldn't help but glance towards the room they had just come from, knowing that it was Xu Huan who was helping.
