Chapter 2244 Quack Fall to the Ground
The whistle sounded again, this time not an alarm but a rally order.
All the people in the camp, except for the guards who stood guard and patrolled, surrounded the giant tree as the center, circle after circle.
Mo Ye didn't know how many people came, these people surrounded the giant tree in the center inside and out, and stood in circles in a neat and orderly manner.
What brought them together was the light cocoon hanging from the giant tree, and although the method of tree burial was a bit new to Mo Ye, it was not a big fuss.
What really surprised Mo Ye was the reaction of these people, in the surrounding crowd, there were some relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms of these corpses, who had an extremely close relationship before their deaths, but when they learned the news of death, they did not show much sadness, and accepted the death notice of their family and friends very calmly.
Although death is indeed an unavoidable event, when it happens to yourself or those around you, there will always be uncontrollable emotions.
Mo Ye felt that even if it was an unreliable regiment leader like Yan An, it would be difficult for her to be indifferent if she suddenly and unexpectedly died in front of her one day.
Grand Master Yan of the Imperial Capital Star suddenly sneezed.
No matter what their status, father, mother, wife, child, friend, brother, in the face of these corpses hanging from the giant tree and wrapped in light cocoons, there is no sadness in their eyes, only relief and expectation.
This reaction is unusual.
In the center of the circle, near the giant tree, a group of warriors of different heights and genders dressed in long vine skirts and with totems painted on their faces and bodies gathered together, holding each other's hands, hunched their bodies and feet beating at the same frequency, up and down, jumping left and right, humming and singing in a language that Mo Ye did not understand.
"Well, you're numb, woo, that......"
Strange and vague pronunciations are accompanied by the sound of special instruments and drums.
The warriors danced and chanted in strange poses, while others held hands and looked up reverently at the tree.
The chanting grew louder and louder, and the rhythm of the drums became more intense.
And the green spirit standing in the middle of this group of people spun like a dancing elf, and the long algae green hair fluttered with the turn.
Mo Ye immediately sensed a powerful stream of life energy flowing out of the green spirit's body and heading towards the giant tree, some of which escaped into the air, affecting everyone around him.
The leaves and branches shake slightly as they feel the life energy.
And the person who pulled up a circle was now looking up at the giant tree, his eyes unblinking.
Even though the light was blinding, even the goggles could not completely block the light, these people still looked up at the giant tree with their heads firmly up.
Mo Ye believes that the life energy of the green spirit has a relaxing, soothing and paralyzing effect on these people, relieving the discomfort of the body, and naturally including the stinging pain caused by the long-term direct staring of the eyes into the light source.
This kind of formation really doesn't look like it's just a burial,
"Xiao Qi, what do you think they are doing?"
Xiao Qi didn't answer this question immediately, but said, "Master, I have a new discovery, the population record book of the misty camp, the birth and death rates of the population here are the same, and the values have never changed since the beginning of the record. ”
Xiao Qi found the record book in the hands of the attendants beside the green spirit, an old bark book, which could be seen to have gone through many years, and each page recorded the population of the misty camp in detail.
In addition, there are many things about the customs and customs of the Misty Camp, historical events, etc., which should be classified but are randomly placed on the desk.
People here don't keep these things a secret.
"Regardless of the total, the death and birth rates are the same and have never changed. ”
That is to say, for every person who dies, a newborn will appear, and vice versa, the appearance of a newborn will mean that a person must die.
In this way, it is possible to ensure that the population base here will never be inconvenient.
It's not hard to understand why Peters' Cube went to great lengths to control the population of the Misty Lands.
This seems to be a necessity in terms of both energy consumption and ease of management.
But what about the deacons who were captured in the fog of Peters and transformed into beasts at the last moments?
It's not impossible that they weren't taken to the Misty Zone but taken to another place.
Just when all kinds of speculations were turning around in Mo Ye's mind, the team clapping and stomping their feet and singing and dancing stopped, and the scene suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, just quietly and reverently looked up.
The green spirit raised her hands in the air, and as her movements grew stronger, she knelt down on her knees as she finished turning.
The green spirit knelt down, and the others followed closely behind you took me, I held him, and all the people in the circle held hands.
Mo Ye felt that the life energy intensified as a result, and the activity of the life energy accelerated because of the strong fluctuations of the unified spiritual power.
Kneeling in a hurry, Moye suddenly became the commanding height of the altitude, and there was no obstruction in the line of sight.
"Master, they are all on their knees, do you want to ......"
At this time, standing up straight seemed so maverick, Mo Ye decided to persevere, not kneeling, what the situation has not been cleared, how can it be possible to kneel inexplicably.
No one stood up to accuse or order Mo Ye to kneel, they looked up at the giant tree with devotion and devotion.
The light cocoon on the giant tree shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the light cocoon, which was originally an adult's height, gradually shrank into an oval sphere, and the light shone brightly.
When the chanting began again, the light cocoons fell off, and the corpses hanging from the giant tree were gone, replaced by babies.
They are wrapped in a mass of liquid and curled up.
The corpse was transformed into a newborn.
Mo Ye witnessed this incredible scene with his own eyes, those who had just died not long ago, and their bodies had not yet begun to decompose, were hung on a tree, but they were actually transformed into babies, or embryos, and Mo Ye did not know what to call what he saw in front of him.
These babies have not yet been born, and their heartbeats are connected to the tree.
This is all the masterpiece of Peters' Rubik's Cube?
The people in the misty camp didn't have as many questions as Mo Ye, and when the baby was formed, they dispersed, and went back to their homes, and the giant tree square, where many people had gathered, quickly returned to its usual cleanliness.
After such a huge battle, he went home, and no one stayed for a moment.
Mo Ye stood motionless and looked up at the children hanging from the branches, this way of breeding was really unique.
Green Spirit looked at the emaciated young girl in front of her in front of her, dressed in long robes, staring at the giant tree with a look of surprise and curiosity, and explained, "This is the ritual of the end of life and the birth of life in our camp. ”
Dead people, corpses were suddenly alive by the light, Mo Ye racked her brains and didn't think of any similar magic, as for whether this belongs to the category of science, she has no way of knowing, judging from Xiao Qi's equally surprised performance, this is at least not the scientific way of reproduction that Xiao Qi knows.
"Death and rebirth are community, the birth of one life will be at the cost of the death of another, and the end of one life also means the beginning of a new life, which is the continuation of life in the Misty Camp. ”
Mo Ye understood why the population in the Misty Camp never changed, as long as a person died, a newborn would be born, and vice versa.
"You want to change that?"
Mo Ye was very suspicious that she could do anything to help in fertility and reproduction, she didn't know anything about this type of magic, and she didn't know if there was a record of related magic in her magic codex, maybe she could flip through the book again, but in the special environment of Peters' Rubik's Cube, even if there was really related magic, the possibility of it being effective was very weak.
"No, Lord Moye, you are mistaken, we think that this is a very fair way to reproduce and does not need to be deliberately changed. ”
Mo Ye breathed a sigh of relief, so what was the reason why these people were looking forward to aliens so much?
"We are trapped in this fog, and the prophesied aliens are the only hope that can lead us out of it. ”
I don't want to be trapped in a hemispherical cover forever, and I am afraid day and night just to survive.
Mo Ye was silent, not knowing how to respond, and vaguely felt that the green spirit's words had something to do with whether she could leave the Peters Cube smoothly as soon as possible.
But taking these people out of the fog, does it mean taking them out of the fog area or leaving the Peters Rubik's Cube?
Isn't this the Peters' Cube that drew a piece of bread for the people in the Misty Camp that will never be eaten?
If everything here is arranged by the Rubik's Cube system, why should the people here be given such a thing as 'escape hope', shouldn't they completely give up hope and stay in this ghost place to thrive honestly?
Of course, Mo Ye's doubts can't directly tell the green spirit, there are inspectors in Peters City, and those people know about the existence of the Peters Rubik's Cube, but in this place, these people in the mist camp don't seem to know anything about the Peters Rubik's Cube.
"Your Excellency, you are the hope of a new life's freedom. ”
Mo Ye only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was so heavy, what the hell was Peters Rubik's Cube playing, was this also deliberately arranged?
The baby on the branch grows much faster than in the mother's womb, growing almost all the time.
There is no distinction between day and night, and the calculation of time in the Fog Camp is based on the radiant intensity, from one to twenty-four, with each number representing a decreasing radiant intensity.
The time when the radiation is lowest and smoothest is when the people in the camp leave the hemisphere to go out into the wilderness, while most of the rest of the time everyone stays in the hemisphere.
Mo Ye didn't go anywhere all the time, sitting under the giant tree and looking up at the baby light cocoon on the branch, the life energy of the giant tree was very different from the life energy of the green spirit.
It wasn't a long time, maybe an hour or two after the whistle sounded, the baby in the cocoon had grown into a juvenile body, and was quietly curled up in the cocoon with his eyes closed.
Mo Ye discovers that these newborns are of different races, and do not seem to be related to the original dead person in any way or by blood.
At least that's what Moya saw.
The races have become different, how can it be biological.
Time flew by, and the babies hanging from the giant trees were crumbling and about to mature to the ground.
It didn't make Mo Ye wait too long, bang bang a few times, when these babies finally grew and matured, one after another fell to the ground like ripe fruits, and screamed and cried, Mo Ye really believed that people here could really be born from trees, and the time required to reproduce was outrageously short.
A team of men in uniform stepped forward and carried the sleek newborn away with great skill.
The next day, Moye saw a group of children who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old gathered together, and someone was in charge of teaching the newborns full-time, starting with walking and running.
Despite having adult bodies, these children are still slow to walk and fall after a few steps, a state that does not last long, and they learn and adapt at an astonishing rate, just as fast as their bodies grow.
The people of Misty Camp have a very short period of infancy and adolescence, and they enter adulthood very quickly, which seems unreasonable to Mo Ye, and the magical way of reproduction has long been accustomed to the people here.
Mo Ye enjoyed the treatment of distinguished guests in the Misty Camp, and the people here had nothing to do with the fierce beasts.
There is often a spatial connection between Peters City and the Misty Camp, and the people of both places are aware of each other's existence and take it for granted that the other is a ferocious beast.
The fog camp will send hunters into Peters City to hunt, for Peters City, this is of course a fierce beast invasion, and Peters City sent troops into the dense fog area to clean up the beast and strengthen the defense, in the eyes of the people in the fog camp, of course, it is also a fierce beast invasion.
This seems a bit of a twist, both sides think that the other is a beast, and frankly, in the territory of Peters City, Mo Ye can't recognize that they are actually people when they see the beasts appear.
But in the Misty Camp, Mo Ye would not be mistaken.
This state of affairs is not accidental but deliberate, and it is of course the Peters Cube system itself that causes this discrepancy.
The calm days didn't last long, and the fog tide reappeared later in the day.
This time, Mo Ye did not retreat to the hemisphere, but experienced a solid fog tide.
When the fog tide appears, the spatial energy fluctuations are also unstable, and it is likely that there is a large spatial connection between Peters City and the fog camp at this time.
The consequences, of course, were extremely tragic, for both sides.
In the eyes of the other party, the people they see each other are fierce beasts, and the battle after meeting is naturally a fight for their lives, and no one will be willing to let anyone go.
As he stood in the city of Peters, he saw the people of the Misty Camp, beasts, beasts, beasts, all he saw were beasts.
However, stepping over and walking to the spatial area of the misty camp, the perspective changed in a second.
In this way, the fierce beast that was unrivaled on the train last time was also a person from the Mist Camp, and that kind of combat power and spiritual skills were really humans?
The doubts in Mo Ye's heart were not completely eliminated.
