"Wait, do you guys all have special abilities?" Chang Yin asked curiously.
During the time he was trapped in the dungeon, he came into contact with survivors from the previous four sessions, but he had never heard of any survivor having any special abilities.
"Ah, I don't." Lou Feier raised her hand and said, "I don't have any special abilities."
"Can't you make mutant biological pills?" Chang Yin looked at her and asked in surprise.
"Indeed... But this cannot be considered a special ability. It is just an acquired ability." Lou Feier explained, "It is an ability acquired during activities."
Xu Xin nodded.
Just like his and Ji Chaoyang's artistic abilities, they were acquired through acquisition.
However, the way she acquired this acquired ability is unknown, and she might really be unique among the survivors.
"However, after Brother Chaoyang said that, I feel that my ability has indeed increased!" Wang Lei spoke again, "I have always had this feeling, and I originally thought it was an illusion."
"I don't feel anything." Wen Guixin looked at her hand, "Maybe it has also become stronger?"
Xu Xin pondered for a moment.
His special ability is creator authority.
So far, the creator's authority has been awakened three times in steps. The first was the identification ability, the second was the map ability, and the third was the alchemy ability.
He didn't feel that his abilities had been enhanced.
Maybe his ability is quite special.
"Anyway, after I came down, I saw a new prophecy, and that prophecy led me to find the long seal." Ji Chaoyang continued.
"At the time, he was imprisoned about two kilometers underground from here." He glanced at Chang Yin, "You all know what happened afterwards. Because he was very familiar with the structure near the prison, I didn't fall into the prison."
"I want to know now, what did you find in the prison?"
"Actually, I want to know too." Chang Yin said, "You... didn't rob the warehouse?"
Xu Xin and the other four looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they couldn't help laughing.
“In your warehouse, apart from those giant stone statues of beasts, there should be only cabinets left, right?” Wen Guixin said, trying not to laugh.
"Huh?" Chang Yin's stone eyes slowly widened and he turned to look at Xu Xin.
"Hmm..." Xu Xin turned the bracelet, feeling a little embarrassed, "Actually..."
He briefly recounted their experiences inside.
"We took away everything in the warehouse." Xu Xin touched his nose and said.
"... You took all those things away?!" Chang Yin was dumbfounded, "You..."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Xu Xin immediately changed the subject.
He didn't want to give these things back.
"I want to ask, how did you know those things you just said? Also, you told us so many things, you should..."
He looked at Chang Yin: "You probably want us to help you with something, right?"
If this were not the case, even if he and Changyin had that previous relationship, he would not need to tell me what had just happened.
"Indeed." Chang Yin nodded, then glanced towards the corridor outside the room. He seemed a little cautious, as if he was worried that someone else might be eavesdropping.
After making sure that there was no one around, he continued speaking.
"I found out all these things when I was working underground." Chang Yin said in a deep voice.
"Inquire?" Ji Chaoyang asked doubtfully, "Who did you inquire with? With those furry monsters? Can they communicate? I have met several furry monsters on the ground and tried to communicate with one of them, but they seemed unable to communicate at all."
oh
Xu Xin couldn't help but look at Ji Chaoyang again.
When he was on the ground, he would often go out exploring and was often out of contact.
Unexpectedly, he discovered several furry monsters
Are there a lot of furry monsters on the ground right now? Can we still encounter several of them
By the way, Coco has been startled a lot on the ground recently. Could it be because of the hairy monster
"Furry weirdo?"
Chang Yin was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.
"Oh, you mean those hairy monkeys. They are mutated humans, you should all know that, right? Yes, they do..." He nodded, then shook his head, "Not all monkeys can't talk."
"During this time, I came into contact with about fifty of those... well, furry monsters, and most of them could only make shrill cries, as if they had lost their ability to speak after mutation."
"But there are still a few that have not lost their language ability and can communicate normally."
Having said that, Chang Yin glanced at Lou Feier.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me?" Lou Feier blinked, a little puzzled. "Aren't we talking about the furry monster? I'm not covered in hair. My mutation types are different. It's normal for me to be able to speak, right?"
"No, those talking furry monsters do look a bit like you." Chang Yin explained. He was used to the name "furry monster". "Compared to ordinary furry monsters, the hair on the bodies of those mutant humans is much shorter and thinner. The hair on their faces is basically gone, and their faces are completely exposed."
"I don't know if it was shaved or if it was always like that. Anyway, they do look more advanced and more like humans."
"I have only met three of these hairy weirdos. How should I put it..." A self-deprecating smile appeared on the stone face of the long seal, "Compared to me, they are probably more like normal humans."
Everyone present was silent, not knowing what to say.
Chang Yin continued, "They didn't come together. Besides, each of them only stayed here for one day before leaving. It seemed like they were here to... inspect? I learned all this from the first furry weirdo. He was very talkative and told me a lot of stories about this world when he had nothing to do."
“As for why it told me… maybe it felt that it didn’t matter if it told me, as I couldn’t cause any waves anyway.” Chang Yin sighed.
"Are they very strong?" Lou Feier asked curiously.
She's a bit interested in those furry weirdos who resemble her a bit.
Moreover, she had come into contact with a powerful furry monster before, the same furry monster that made her faint in the snow. Its appearance was completely different from what Chang Yin described.
"I don't know." Chang Yin shrugged. "Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to be very strong. I don't feel any threat from them. But I dare not easily test them. After all, Xue Lan and Xiao Hong are still in their hands."
"In other words, you can't actually guarantee that what you said before about the underground world is true?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
"Well... I later confirmed this indirectly with two other furry weirdos, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, there's a possibility that they may have deceived me or exaggerated."
The stone-printed hand touched his chin, making a sound of stone membrane.
"For example, they said that they created this underground world. To be honest, I don't quite believe it. If they were really that powerful, they could easily dig out such a large underground space. Why would they bother with the giant beast?"
This is indeed a bit strange.
"Hey, I just thought about that," Wang Lei immediately agreed. "To dig out such a large underground space, you must need tools, right? With such powerful tools, the weapons must be powerful too, right? If the weapons are so powerful, why bother doing the giant beast experiment?"
"You can't say that, right?" Zhao Xiaochuan retorted, "Just like in our world, although nuclear weapons exist, conventional weapons still need to be researched."
"That's because the lethality and pollution aftereffects of nuclear weapons are too great, so everyone tacitly agrees not to use them, right?" Wen Guixin joined the discussion. "We are all human beings, there is no need to go so far, so they are basically used to check and balance each other. But this Blood Mark Clan, they obviously want to invade, right? If they invade, they don't need to consider killing too many lives, right?"
Lou Feier also said: "That's right, in fact, they did kill a lot, and even if they want to colonize, they need to consider pollution..."
She pointed to the top of her head and said, "There's nothing polluted about this underground world, right? I don't quite believe that this underground world was dug out by them."
really.
Xu Xin nodded.
If they really dug it out, it would be too scary and there would be no need to resist.
To dig out such an underground world is really too exaggerated, and the difficulty is not much different from destroying a planet.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that science fiction movies often feature star destroyers. In reality, it is not that easy to destroy a planet that has existed for tens or even hundreds of billions of years. A meteorite can only create a hole.
And on Earth, the most terrifying weapon that humans can control today, nuclear weapons, is still nothing in front of the Earth.
Humans may be able to destroy themselves, but for the Earth, even if all the nuclear weapons exploded, it would probably be just a tickle.
The energy contained in a sunspot on the sun is equivalent to the energy of billions or even tens of billions of million-ton nuclear bombs.
This planet is obviously much larger than Earth. They want to dig out a huge space thousands of meters high from the ground to shake the foundation of the planet, just to cultivate giant beasts...
This is much more difficult than making nuclear weapons.
This is a feat that can truly destroy a planet.
Why would the Blood Mark Clan, who can do such a thing, be so obsessed with the behemoths, and why would they choose people from among their survivors
Thinking about it this way, the Blood Mark Clan doesn't seem to be as powerful and terrifying as imagined.
Of course, no matter what, the Blood Mark Clan is still not an existence they can contend with now.
But if they hadn't dug this out from the ground, at least it wouldn't be so hopeless.
"Okay, let's discuss this later." Chang Yin interrupted everyone's conversation and thoughts, and then stated his purpose. "The reason why I'm helping you is very simple. It's simply because you are likely to help us leave here. Because you are survivors, you will definitely not stay here underground forever. You must... return to the ground, back to the tree house, right?"
Xu Xin nodded: "Yes, our goal is to find a way back to the ground. When the time comes, it will be no problem to take you out."
Chang Yin has a lot of research results in his hands, including stone creatures, mutation contracts, and mutation potions. Who knows what other good things there might be.
If we could really get him out...
That’s definitely a huge super boost!
"No..." Chang Yin shook his head. "If I were alone, I wouldn't go out. I know that your next mission is to open the six underground prisons around. If, I mean if... you saw Xue Lan or Xiao Hong..."
Xu Xin glanced at Ji Chaoyang.
Ji Chaoyang will meet Xue Lan, but there is nothing wrong with his prediction.
“I can find it.”
Ji Chaoyang also spoke at this time.
"In my prophecy, I can see a stone statue of a woman in gorgeous clothes being imprisoned in an underground prison. It feels similar to what you feel. It should be the Xue Lan you mentioned."
He finally told Chang Yin about this.
"What did you say?!" Chang Yin immediately turned to look at him, his expression somewhat excited, "Did you see Xue Lan in your... prophecy?! Is she really in the branch prison?!"
"Ah!" Wang Lei slapped his thigh, "Yes, that stone statue that Brother Chaoyang predicted! I almost forgot about it!"
The others also reacted and were somewhat surprised.
"It's a rotating underground prison. As to whether it's a branch prison, I'm not sure yet." Ji Chaoyang told the truth.
"Rotary? Yes, definitely!" Chang Yin hammered his thigh, the sound of stone collision was loud, with an excited look on his face, "I didn't expect that Xue Lan is actually in the branch prison! That's great..."
As he spoke, his expression became a little hesitant and hesitant, as if he was considering what to say.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Xu Xin asked immediately, "If we really see Xue Lan and Xiao Hong, we will definitely take them away, or you can go with us."
“No.” Chang Yin waved his hand immediately and said, “My range of movement is very small. I can’t go out of the two-kilometer range of this vine bundle, otherwise I will be besieged by giant beasts, just like her.”
He pointed at Lou Feier and continued, "So, I suspect that Xue Lan and Xiao Hong may also have this situation. So..."
"I have a bracelet that can hold living things." Xu Xin patted his bracelet and said, "There shouldn't be any problem if it's in the bracelet."
"Bracelet...?" Chang Yin just noticed the bracelet on his hand. His stone brows first frowned, then immediately relaxed, and his eyes widened. "Isn't this... my space bracelet? How... Oh, did you find it with Xiao Hong?"
Xu Xin nodded and briefly recounted his experience of finding Xiaohong last time.
"Is there such a thing?" Wen Guixin and others were a little surprised. They had indeed never heard of it.
“…those bastards!”
Chang Yin's teeth were chattering.
"You actually stuffed Hiro into the stomach of the treasure chest monster?! I thought you found Hiro because he was brought out of the ground due to the change in the terrain, but he was actually found in the stomach of the treasure chest monster?! I..."
He punched the wall and the stone wall immediately began to break.
Debris began to fall from above.
"Hey, calm down, calm down!" Several people around him hurriedly stopped him, "Don't get excited, we don't want to be buried!"
Chang Yin calmed down.
Then he suddenly laughed and said, "I have only made one of this bracelet so far. It was modified from a mutant biological bracelet. The materials are very scarce, and I can't make a second one at the moment. How could you have gotten it? But it would be nice to have this one."
He grabbed Xu Xin's hand and said in a heavy voice: "If you can really find Xue Lan and Xiao Hong, put them in the bracelet and bring them here. If you can only find Xue Lan..."
Chang Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Then you should take her out alone. We can't let her stay in this underground any longer!"
Everyone else can understand his thoughts.
If Hiro can't find it, he'll have to stay.
"There are six prisons in total, there must be some." Xu Xin patted his shoulder and asked the key question, "So, do you know anything about these six prisons?"
He took out a vine bundle key: "Where do you want to use this key?"
It’s not that he didn’t want to comfort Chang Yin, but they only had ten hours left and couldn’t chat leisurely any longer.
"…The entrance to the branch prison is under the branch of the vine. Just like the main vine, you can enter through the gap. There will be a passage entrance on the ground." Changyin explained.
"Ah?" Lou Feier frowned, "That's not right? Are you talking about that room? We all came out from inside, and there's nothing on the ground?"
She had been in the room for several hours.
"I know you came out from inside. Ji Chaoyang told me." Chang Yin shook his head and said, "But the gravity device that brought you down covered the door of the underground prison. After you leave, the gravity device should return to its original position."
As he spoke, he pointed upwards.
oh…
The elevator went back by itself.
"Anyway, the entrance to the cell is at the bottom inside these six vine branches."
“Is that so…” Lou Feier nodded and stopped talking, but her expression was a little hesitant and she glanced at Xu Xin from time to time.
The people present exchanged information carefully again.
After making sure nothing was missing, Xu Xin distributed the corresponding keys to others and then stood up.
Several people walked out of the small underground space created by the long seal.
Outside, under the bundle of vines, it was still very bright.
The giant beasts around them were also eyeing them covetously.
Xu Xin even saw a hyena-like giant staring at their position, with its mouth slightly open and saliva slowly flowing down from between its teeth.
Lou Feier subconsciously hid behind Xu Xin again.
"It's time for us to set off. Can't you really come with us?" Xu Xin looked at Chang Yin and asked.
"No." Chang Yin shook his head, then looked at Xu Xin with a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes, "My hope lies entirely on you."
