Hao Ren was of course a little surprised that the little weak chicken suddenly revealed a new talent, but he was not surprised to an unbelievable degree—what is more incredible than the existence of the little weak chicken itself? ? An evil thought body with a messy head, who has been empowered and educated by Raven 12345 for more than a month, and is inextricably linked with Vivienne herself. With all these prerequisites put together, to be honest, even if this little thing is Seeing everyone's faces suddenly transforming into an electric mouse with a lightning tail that can discharge 100,000 volts, Hao Ren should be able to accept it calmly...
Together with Vivian, he studied the attributes of the little weak chicken as a summoning unit, and basically confirmed the three characteristics of the little thing. The first is that she is still a weak chicken, even if she has established a deeper connection with Vivian, Her biggest trick is still biubiubiu; the second characteristic is that this little thing has no brains as always, and basically she will not follow any instructions except for feeding; the third characteristic is finally better than the first two, that is, If she reintegrates into Vivienne's body, then her aura will be completely covered up, a useless setting but at least not as deceptive as the first and second characteristics...
"Scared!!" The little weak chicken is impatient. After discovering that Hao Ren didn't intend to give her food, he quickly showed resistance, yelled threateningly, and returned to Wei Wei in a cloud of blood mist. Ann's body.
"She's a little angry," Vivian shrugged. "I can feel that she's a little frustrated because she thinks she should be able to scare you."
"She already has such complicated emotional reactions?" Hao Ren looked at Vivienne in surprise, and then became even more surprised, "Can you feel her emotions?"
"I can feel it when it is recovered into the body, a vague and subtle feeling, as if part of the emotions are shared," Vivienne said with a frown, "It's a bit like taking all those evil thoughts into the body back then. situation, but without the feeling of 'digesting and absorbing', the little thing is still a completely independent individual. It's incredible...she is really growing."
Hao Ren thought for a while: "In my opinion, this is probably a good sign. Maybe when we open our eyes, we can see this little guy saying good morning to everyone."
"I hope one day." Vivienne smiled, and returned her attention to the book in her hand.
At this time, she was flipping through an old book that looked like Heroes. This book was placed on the same floor as various books of unofficial history and miscellaneous news. Obviously, it was not a proven biography of a character, but probably some kind of legend mixed with it. , myths, exaggerated and embellished heroic novels, but the more this kind of thing, the easier it is to connect the content with those dangerous places that are inaccessible to ordinary people but have a great reputation: such as the big tunnel that Leah mentioned before .
Of course, the information that can be found in this kind of book must be very different from the reality, and it is unreliable to use it as a source of information. Learn about the concept of big tunnels and the like.
This is already the seventh book of similar themes that Vivienne has picked up. The book mentions many unknown place names and seemingly famous historical events. Of course, this also includes the Great Tunnel—in fact, It was easier than Hao Ren expected to find written materials about the "Great Tunnel" in this library. Basically, related words appeared in all history and geography books, as well as a considerable number of hero biographies.
It seems to be a thing of such prestige that historians and geographers have solemnly recorded it in their writings, and heroes of all ages have been particularly fond of exploring the Great Tunnel—as in The protagonists of most fantasy stories have to kill a dragon (of course, a group of them recently began to propose marriage to dragons) before they are ashamed to say that they are the protagonist. In the legends of this world, the basic condition for becoming a brave man is to go to the big tunnel. .
However, Hao Ren can easily see the essence through the phenomenon:
The more things are turned over by the protagonists in the novel, the more daunting the corresponding prototype in reality. It seems that 90% of the braves are used as barbecues when they challenge the dragon. The reality of this world I am afraid that few people in the world dare to really get into the big tunnel: it is definitely a dangerous place.
"According to the records in these books—" Lily picked out all the classics she found about the Great Tunnel, and spread them out on the table one by one, with useful materials found by others beside them, "The Great Tunnel is not It does not refer to a mine tunnel, or a specific underground cave, but an underground pore group that spreads across the entire continent, and may even extend into the endless ocean, and spread throughout the entire world."
Vivienne also talked about what she had concluded: "Under this continent called 'Lahrian', there are countless criss-crossing holes, just like beehives, which are large tunnels. Their The distribution is not uniform, and the depth is not constant. In the fertile land area in the east of the mainland, the big tunnels are buried extremely deep, and the local people are hardly affected by it, but in the extreme north, within the scope of the ten ancient northern countries, The big tunnel is very close to the surface, and it is said that there are even some shallow tunnels directly connected to human mines, and there are also occasional horror accidents where the miners dug through the "rock top" when mining ore, and the miners fell into the big tunnel. Because of this, the northern part of the mainland is now the most desolate place in the world: it is too unsuitable for human survival."
Izaks took over the conversation: "The Great Tunnel is a terrifying thing in this world, because not only is it filled with highly poisonous or corrosive gases, but monsters often come out, and there are some things that humans can't understand at all. Strange beings that cannot be resisted will emerge from the tunnel. A wild history I found records that a kingdom in the north had to dig a shelter underground because of the deep war, but accidentally dug through the rock of the large tunnel. At the end, the 'Shadow of Nothingness' emerged from the ground, and the entire country, including all the troops that invaded the country, was swallowed by the night. When the next morning came, the kingdom turned into a whole black forest, that The place seems to be still famous until now, and it is said that almost none of the people who went in came out alive.”
When Hao Ren heard the descriptions of Lily and Vivian, he couldn't help but think of the eldest son parasitic in the depths of the planet, and when he heard about "the kingdom was swallowed by the black forest", "the strange things that cannot be understood and cannot be fought He became more convinced of this when he used words like ", and he frowned: "It's a very familiar situation...the big hole in the ground, and the monster that came out of the hole. Could it be another eldest son here?"
"I always don't think so," Vivian said, "First of all, this is the dark realm, near the divine kingdom of the goddess of creation—don't worry about why this place looks like this, in short, the address can never be wrong, and According to the information we have, the Goddess of Creation has never planted the seeds of origin so close to the Kingdom of God—those seeds were used by her to explore the deep space of the universe, and they were all scattered far away, so the dark realm There should be no eldest son. Secondly, we have found a lot of information about the Great Tunnel, but there is no positive reference to the original body of the eldest son: whether it is the huge tentacles buried in the ground, or the organs beating in the cave, or the original blood , not mentioned at all. The eldest son cannot be hidden, he is so huge and moves under the crust of the entire planet, it is impossible to leave no traces, right?"
What Vivian said made sense, Hao Ren couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "Then do you have anything else to discover? About the Great Tunnel?"
"Yes, a scholar named Roenzel wrote a book dedicated to the study of the Great Tunnel. Although it seems that his research results are not recognized in related fields, he still mentioned a lot of interesting discoveries," Nangong Sanba said. Holding up an old book he found, "The scholar claimed that he once followed a mysterious old man to practice the way of druids, and in the process of communicating with the spirit of nature, his soul left his body and strayed into the Great Tunnel. He said that he saw many man-made traces, ancient characters, relics, and even magnificent ancient relics in the Great Tunnel, so he believed that the Great Tunnel was actually a refuge built by the civilization of the last era to avoid "natural disasters on the ground", The reason why it is spread all over the world is precisely because the ancient civilization is extremely developed, so it is able to build a miracle of this scale. The monsters that emerge from the big tunnel may be the guards left by the ancient civilization, or even the monsters that have already been buried in the ground. The ancient humans who mutated and went crazy."
Speaking of this, Y'zaks couldn't help laughing: "This intellectual scholar even calculated the number of 'natural disasters on earth' encountered by ancient civilizations based on the monsters and poisonous substances that emerged from the large tunnel. How large is it, and in the second half of the book, it discusses in detail the escape plan of a contemporary civilization after encountering the same natural disaster... "
Lily froze her ears halfway through hearing it, and couldn't help interjecting at this moment: "Hey, hey, this setting sounds super touching to me!"
"Sensibility does not necessarily mean persuasiveness," Izaks shook his head, "Although this 'scholar' has a good imagination, it is a pity that four-fifths of his entire book are all conjectures. and legends, and in the only citations he even cites a fairy tale—which led to almost everyone attacking his theory, and even his book was classified as absurd fiction."
"But based on our vision and the information we have, his guess is not unreasonable." Hao Ren looked at everyone and said seriously, "This world fell here along with the Goddess of Creation, so that The ancient civilizations and natural disasters on the ground mentioned by the scholar Roen Zell are very likely to be true, and the conjecture that the Great Tunnel serves as a refuge for ancient civilizations may also be true—if the previous generation of civilization in this world really relies on some kind of The underground facilities escaped the impact of the Great Bang of the Kingdom of God and rebuilt the current ecosystem on the surface, so many things can indeed be explained clearly.”
Vivienne nodded: "It's not uncommon for a poor scholar to have a keen intuition. This Ronzel may just be bad at writing a convincing paper."
Lily picked up the book that Y'zaks brought and shook it in the air: "If what is said in this book is true, then that so-called big tunnel is worth exploring."
