Hasselblad ordered some demon hunters to stay in the family hall to monitor whether there were any remaining shadows of chaos entrenched in this place, and he himself led several elite demon hunters including White Fire to set off with Hao Ren. The resting place of the ancestors of the Ancatero family.
Led by Andahel, everyone came to the location of the resting place, that is, the unusually huge obelisk mentioned by Wayne before.
This obelisk is located in the center of an empty large square. It is three to four hundred meters high. It has a solemn and magnificent three-story structure. A huge metal contraption high up in the sky. However, no buildings can be seen around the obelisk. There are only some neatly and sparsely distributed golden columns in the empty square. Those columns are surrounded by rays of light, and it is impossible to see what they do.
This is the resting place of the Tana family—Hao Ren originally thought that this should be a more eerie place, after all, it is a super-large cemetery, but the atmosphere here makes people feel nothing of it, it is full of warmth and The bright atmosphere is a bit like some kind of large-scale landscape architecture. From the setting of this place, it can be seen that the Tana people attach great importance to funeral matters.
Unlike other alien species, the lifespan of the Tana people is relatively short. Although they are still far longer than humans, they are still a short-lived race compared with demon hunters or vampires, so there will be such a large population in their family territory. Large-scale mausoleums also have very formal funeral customs. In the culture of demon hunters, the burial part is relatively weak. Most of them died in battle in their later years, and the corpses are usually difficult to preserve, so their funerals are simple and simple. Vampires are the race that loves tombs and coffins the most among all the aliens. They spend more time studying various coffins and tombs than humans—but they usually study these things for sleeping, and we won’t discuss them...
"Their hiding place is underground," Andahel led the crowd towards the obelisk. "It will be difficult to find that place if no one guides you."
Hasselblad looked at Andahel with some surprise: "I didn't expect them to tell a witcher about their hidden shelter."
Andahel's expression was gloomy: "A month ago... the situation was special at that time, and we couldn't care less about the difference between demon hunters and aliens. We must keep survivors so that we can tell others what happened."
"You met with the Ancatros. To discuss something about innate hostility?" Hasselblad asked. "You did this amazing thing without telling the elders—honestly. I always knew Amtu The thought of the elongator is a bit special, but I didn't expect him to be able to do this, and to drive so many demon hunters at once."
"If we don't hide it from the elders, we can't do anything," Andahel replied frankly, and judging from her attitude, it is obvious that she is one of the strong supporters of Amtura's theory. From this, it can be seen that the old-fashioned, stubborn and united demon hunters in the eyes of the outside world actually have many different schools of thought, and there are many deviant ones. Thousands of experiments have been done on both witcher and alien bloodlines, we just didn't think the problem was going to be at the root of it."
"So you paid a huge price." Hasselblad replied lightly.
Andahel didn't say anything, just came to the base of the golden obelisk silently, she put her hand on a wall that looked no different from the surrounding one, and the wall shimmered. And foreign characters and various symbols emerged on its surface, which should be regarded as a touch screen made by the Tana people. Andahel entered a series of instructions on the wall, which must have been given to her by the Ancatero family.
Accompanied by a slight mechanical sound. The golden wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a step that sloped downward.
"What is the purpose of the blood exchange ceremony you performed?" Walking on the long stairs leading to the ground. Hao Ren couldn't help asking curiously, "Is it related to the projects that Amtura researched?"
"Instead of exchanging blood, the purpose of using the blood of both parties to perform a purification ceremony is to try to artificially terminate the induction of innate hostility. According to the research of Elder Amtura, the innate hostility between various races is a hidden blood It is something in the body, and it is in a non-material form," Andahel replied, "He feels that this is an implant from a third party, and it is an indefinite time bomb buried in our blood. So he wants to solve it no matter what. This uncontrollable factor. His research has not made much progress in the past thousand years, but recently there has finally been a rapid change... "
"Is it because the innate hostility of various races has suddenly weakened in recent months?" Vivienne said casually.
Andahel nodded slightly: "That's right. That's exactly what happened. The significant weakening of the innate hostile induction finally provided us with enough data, so Elder Amtura completed part of his research and came up with the idea of purifying Bloodline ritual. He decided to let some of his demon hunters and members of the Ancattero family perform this ritual first. Many of his demon hunters were deeply affected by this event of weakening innate hostility, and the Ancatero family It is the milder one among the different races, which just meets the conditions and allows us to come together without worrying about fighting directly. In fact, we originally planned to ask the Kraken for help. They are from the Biancatro family They are more gentle, and the demon hunters have almost no hostility towards them, but they are elusive, so it is really hard to find... "
Hao Ren heard this and said that this is the disadvantage of blocking information separately. If the demon hunter had contacted him earlier, the situation would be different: the two sea monsters in his family have nothing to do all day and they have come up with tricks. Ersa still runs a restaurant, Nangong Wuyue is free now, drinking paint and playing all day long, scaring people with the colorful colors she dyed...
"The Shadow of Chaos appeared after you performed this ritual?" Hasselblad asked.
Andahel was silent for a moment, then nodded: "The ceremony started smoothly. The demon hunters and Ancatero family members who were purifying their bloodlines were completely free from the influence of the hostile induction, but soon the situation began to get out of control. We found that everyone The hostility of the people is disappearing rapidly, and finally even the people farthest from the ceremony site are affected, including Elder Amtura and Chief Vogus. At first I thought that this ceremony was performed beyond the standard, But soon Elder Amtullah realized that it was not the 'blood purification' ritual that was working, but something else in the hall: we had flipped a switch. Elder Marduk tried to terminate the ritual, but it was too late. It was too late, those shadows of chaos suddenly appeared from under everyone's feet, and we had no time to react."
At the end of the long steps is an elevator, and Andahel led everyone to stand on the platform of the elevator, and activated the button to let everyone go deeper underground, while she continued to describe the scene a month ago: "The first thing that lost control It was Abaddon and Cloanne, and they stabbed Elder Marduk, and things got out of hand. Not only did the witchers and the Ancatros turn on each other, but they also started killing each other. Finally, Chief Amtura Barely regaining his sanity, he told Chief Vogus and I to retreat—we were the only ones on the scene who hadn't been corrupted by the Shadow of Chaos."
When the lift reached the depths of the ground, Hao Ren saw a thick metal gate, and on both sides of the metal gate, there were huge glass windows inlaid on the solid looking walls, and there were some off-white shadows behind the glass windows. neatly arranged.
"During the evacuation, we found that the Shadow of Chaos had leaked out and continued to emerge from every corner. People rushed from all directions of the city as if they were ordered to fight in the city center: the situation was completely out of control. Patriarch Gus did his best to gather the clansmen who were still awake, we came to this shelter, and began to think about how to avoid the invasion of the shadow of chaos."
When Hao Ren came to those huge glass windows, a cold air seemed to come out faintly through the windows. He tried hard to distinguish the scene on the other side of the glass windows, and finally saw that there were neatly arranged one after another, vertically placed There are transparent containers, a white mist floats between these containers, judging from the ice around those containers, the temperature of the room inside is extremely low.
"People who stop thinking will not be attacked by the shadow of chaos," Andahel pointed to the gate. "My sanity binding spell has a limited range, so we used this room. Vogus said this is a dormant room." Facility — I hope I was operating okay."
Hao Ren looked up at the alloy gate, and saw a line of text above the gate:
"Fourth Frozen Hibernation Section" (to be continued~^~)
