Old Aram's hoarse voice echoed in the jungle, carrying a trace of regret and sadness from the last generation of descendants, and the raging flames jumping next to him seemed to bring Sheyan back to the story thousands of years ago.
"After a series of compromises and balances, the Sun Sect and the Ouroboros Sect have reached a balance, and the ritual used to inherit the power of the Sun Ladder has also gone through thousands of trials, and its process has become a fixed situation: sacrificial ceremony → Accept the blessing of the Ouroboros God (that is, be bitten by a snake) → absorb the secret medicine prepared mainly from the dried leaves of the sun ladder → soak in the torrent of the cave where no light can be seen. In this way, even if the warrior cannot If you pass the test, you will die peacefully under the action of ouroboros venom, and you won't get out of control and hurt people."
Hearing this, Fang Sheyan finally realized that the progenitor virus hidden in the sun ladder has the characteristics of strengthening the recombination of biological genetic factors, but most of the creatures will either die, unable to adapt to its mutation, and become terrifying monsters that lose their minds. As far as human beings are concerned, there is at most one person out of tens of millions of people who have the physique to withstand the power of the virus! Even if the physical fitness of the Buriya people is better than that of modern people, the chance of success is pitifully small.
The venom of ouroboros is basically similar to an industrial catalyst, it can obviously lubricate and neutralize the damage of the ancestor virus to the human body, so it can greatly increase the success rate. When the holy relic of the Ouroboros tribe was taken away by Old Aram, the most crucial link was lost.
However, those remaining Buriya people don’t know what a virus is. They are all brainwashed by religion. They think that piety can make up for all mistakes, and God will rule everything, so according to the usual practice, continue to hold the strength test when the moon is full. Ritual, the result of this is predictable. With an extremely low success rate, a large number of biochemical monsters have been created continuously.
Those who can be selected to withstand the power of the sun ladder are the elites of the clan. After these elites are infected, they are turned into terrifying biochemical monsters to attack the inner Dubaiyans. In the midst of ebb and flow, those devout Dubaiyans regard this as a test after the sun god is angry... In addition, taking the powder of the sun ladder directly also has a very small chance of success, and the lucky ones who occasionally appear It will be considered a blessing from the sun god!
Therefore, the ceremony will continue to be held as if drinking poison to quench thirst, forming a vicious cycle of "the more pressure ahead", the more "the ceremony of bearing strength must be held". Everyone in the inner area of the swamp will die under the siege of mutants.
This is the truth about the decline of the Dubaiya family after the old Aram and the others left!
Of course, Gurga and the others who suppressed the primordial virus and successfully gained power from it were naturally the guys who "changed jobs" four years ago when Ouroboros was still there.
So far, the last mystery in Fang Sheyan's heart has been solved, and the history and ins and outs of the entire Dubaiya people are also clear. Sheyan looked towards the sky, then nodded:
"I see, so you'll let me get the Ouroboros?"
Old Alam looked at Sheyan with expectant eyes:
"Hurry up and drive this thing away from me! The sooner the better, but... you have to remember, you can't use force, otherwise, it will drive me to attack you, and you will never be able to bear me s attack!"
Fang Sheyan couldn't help but had a dark idea in his heart, that is to get rid of the blood of Old Aram, the direct line of the Dubai Empire royal family, but he quickly dismissed this idea. Because the space will inevitably take into account: the possibility that a ruthless guy will slaughter the village as soon as he enters this world. Old Alam was charged with the important task of continuing the royal family's bloodline. He was able to escape from the interior of Dubai's giant swamp. It is certain that his ancestral skills of oiling the soles of his feet and hiding his tracks must be top-notch. If he wants to kill him by force, don't even think about it.
He observed the unremarkable little snake, and then stretched out his hand tentatively... The holy thing didn't respond at all, and it looked like he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, that kind of ignoring attitude seemed like this The guy is not worth wasting venom at all... Fang Sheyan just tried to touch and other physical contact.
Old Aram yelled to be careful, but his physical reaction was to lash out with a big mouth, hitting Fang Senyan with stares in front of his eyes/nosebleeds/five finger prints on his face were very clear/humming in his ears It took me a long time to come back to my senses...
Sheyan managed to regain his breath, and couldn't help but yell at him. Seeing Old Aram looking at him with innocent eyes that resembled Ouyang Feng with a sausage mouth inside, he could only sigh.
After learning the lesson, Sheyan didn't dare to move easily anymore. After observing from a distance for a while, he still couldn't find any flaws. After all, he was just a sailor, not a zoologist, so it was impossible for him to know the habits of any snake Knows everything.
A thought suddenly popped up in Sheyan's mind:
"It's impossible that this snake is only bitten by Dubaiyans! By the way, the old man in front of him just listened to the sacrificial process handed down by his ancestors, and has never seen it with his own eyes. Could it be that this damned snake only bites people just now?" Someone infected by the Progenitor Virus?"
Thinking of this, Sheyan took out what he had gained from the Sun Altar. Only then did Sheyan realize two serious problems:
One is that although I tore off half of the tentacle tendrils of the sun ladder, the tendrils are still entwined on the seedlings.
Secondly, the people in Dubai inhale the powder made from the withered leaves of the sun ladder, but they directly collect fresh ones. According to normal botanical theory, the virus content in the withered leaves must be less than 100%. much less,…
But now Fang Sheyan can only treat a dead horse as a living horse, and he will take one step at a time. He tried to take out the sun ladder seedling from the space, but he didn't expect this seedling to be seen for a long time, and it was very uncomfortable in the private space. To be honest, it can be seen that its root system has already grasped the meteorite fragment brought back by Fang Senyan densely, and it seems that it is already fully absorbing the energy of the meteorite.
And the tentacles of the mother that entangled the seedling seemed to have been absorbed by the seedling ferociously as nourishment...
"What... what should we do? Shall we try picking a leaf from the seedling first?" Fang Senyan thought in his mind, and at the same time took out the seedling.
However, the moment Sheyan took out the sun step seedlings into his hands, the lazy Ouroboros immediately stood up straight, its head swelled like a cobra, and quickly spit out red And the forked tongue made a threatening hissing sound!
What's even more mysterious is that the seedlings of the Sun Stairway also showed a strong aggressiveness, jumping from Sheyan's hand to the ground all of a sudden, two tentacles-like rhizomes whirring in the air, After half of its root system touched the ground, it quickly plunged into it, and the meteorite fragments surrounding the other half of the root system quickly disappeared and absorbed.
Fang Senyan clearly remembered that the leaves of the parent body of the Sun Stairway had only five colors, but now the leaves of this Sun Stairway seedling have reached seven colors! Now it seems that a plant like the Sun Staircase is viviparous and very agile, but it has a root system and is implanted in the soil. It is difficult to determine whether it is a plant or an animal.
Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed, and the Ouroboros took the initiative to attack the offspring of the Sun Staircase! It bit the main stem of the daughter body of the sun ladder with one bite!
In the face of the enemy's attack, the "sub-body" of the Sun Stairway is not to be outdone. Two tendril-like tendrils strangled the body of ouroboros viciously, pulled it violently, and secreted that kind of A powerful corrosive liquid like mercury, corroded the snake's body until it sizzled, and the snake's skin was easily corroded, and even penetrated into the flesh and blood.
Obviously, the pain sensation of plants is far lower than that of animals, and while the daughter body is still using the tentacles to continuously corrode and dissolve the enemy's flesh, it is also constantly absorbing the corroded nutrient solution, which is deeply able to fight. The truth is, after ouroboros suffered from pain, it was still very fierce and refused to let go.
Because the stems of the "children" of the Sun Staircase are transparent at this time because they are young, it can be clearly seen that traces of black liquid are continuously sprayed out from the two fangs of ouroboros. Entering the sub-body, the branches of the "sub-body" of the sun ladder also began to twitch!
The two are incompatible characters. The venom of ouroboros can only paralyze and control people, but it is not fatal. Instead, it counteracts the virus of a rare plant like the sun ladder! It's just that in the past thousands of years, the contest between the two was carried out indirectly in the body of the infected person, but it is not the direct confrontation between the virus and the venom as it is now! Such a result must be a deathmatch that can only be declared over with the death of one party!
At this time, the two onlookers were stunned. Fang Sheyan was most afraid of losing both sides, and he would not be able to get anything. What Old Alam hoped for most was that ouroboros would die, and what he feared most was that this guy would suffer Sheng, and then it was seriously injured and swam back to its own body to suck the essence of flesh and blood to make up for it... Poor old Aram is only thirty now and looks almost sixty, if he is "big" again If you don’t make up the package”, then even if you don’t die, you have to lose half your life.
