Gaia and Tang Shuxing looked at each other without saying a word, and after a long time, Gaia broke the silence and said: "You are here for the basalt, but unfortunately the basalt has long been lost, and my father doesn't know where that thing went, in fact, this is also a good thing from the side." ”

Tang Shuxing immediately asked, "When were you made by your father?" ”

"I can't calculate the exact time because it's been too long." Gaia shook her head, "This was a floating island when my father left, and he escaped from the Basalt Kingdom alone with Basalt. ”

"Escaped? Why? "Tang Shuxing doesn't understand, is this Gaia's father the same as the couple in the bracelet?

"He was a low-level slave, and he was originally a very low-level corpse, but he was eager for knowledge, eager to learn, and kept stealing all kinds of knowledge, and was finally discovered by the upper-level demonizers and thrown into the 'corpse purgatory', leaving him to fend for himself." Gaia said and explained, "My father said that the so-called corpse purgatory is actually a place where many failed corpses gather, and in the eyes of the demonizers, it is a terrible and sinful place, where the corpses feed on their companions. Luckily, my father, after being sent there, used his knowledge to extract protein from other objects and lower species for others to survive, and thus earned the respect of the other people in the corpse purgatory. ”

After gaining the respect of the others, Gaia's father explained to them about the cataclysm and the prospect of extinction over a long period of time, but no one believed it at first, because these slaves, who were even lower than the low-level corpses, had no knowledge of this at all. They don't know anything other than being interested in survival for the time being.

Gaia's father knew that he couldn't do what he would do without opening their eyes and inspiring them, but fortunately they all lived a long life, so he spent a full twenty years teaching others in the corpse purgatory, and let his students start teaching what they had learned to others, and he was also elected as a corpse purgatory scholar, and was respected by the leader and other officials.

Twenty years later, Gaia's father, Zhiludao, had to act. So he planned a riot from the corpse purgatory. Began to oppose the demonizers in power.

Originally, the necrogenoid had to obey the orders of the demonizer from their genes, and Gaia's father knew this, and over the course of twenty years, he used his knowledge and equipment stolen from other places to change the genetic sequence of the newborn one by one. Let them no longer be controlled by the mind of the demonizer. And let those demonized people who can't change their stereotypes stay in purgatory as logistical support.

The battle was extremely fierce. The army of slaves suffered heavy losses, but they continued to push their own front lines, and finally rushed to the location where the demonizers stored the basalt, led by Gaia's father. And using the power of basalt, he annihilated the ruler's army in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, because he underestimated the power of basalt, causing his own army to suffer almost extinction.

Despite the victory, the group of corpses who remained in Purgatory as logistical support began to split, and most of them decided that it was not worth exchanging basalt for such a terrible price, and that this kind of thing would not guarantee their survival.

Gaia's father, Zhilu Dao, could no longer explain his reasoning, because time was running out, so he left his homeland with Basalt and some of his loyal people, and drifted into a floating island, now Hashima, in an attempt to avoid the surviving Xuanwu people, as well as the other three kingdoms that had been trying to destroy the Xuanwu Kingdom and take away the holy relics.

"However, my father also made a serious mistake, he didn't realize that destroying basalt was not an easy thing, but he kept trying, and in the process of trying, he indirectly killed one after another people who were loyal to him, and only later did he realize that in fact, the floating island did not leave the Xuanwu country for too long, but only revolved around the former Xuanwu country, like a satellite." Gaia let out a long sigh, white gas erupting from her nostrils, "When all the people loyal to him died, and he returned to the Xuanwu Kingdom again, he found that because of his past actions, the Xuanwu Kingdom had been completely destroyed, and most of the people gradually died because of the basalt, becoming a dead city, a dead country, facing the power of the holy relics, even if they had a strong adaptability, they could not deal with it, so they could only wait for death to come." ”

"Wait-" Tang Shuxing immediately got up and said, "You mean that the Xuanwu Kingdom is around here?" ”

"Yes." Gaia nodded, saw Tang Shuxing's expression and said, "You mean, you want to go?" ”

"Yes, I'm here to find basalt, that's the goal, I have to do it." Tang Shuxing lowered his head, a little afraid to look directly into Gaia's eyes, because he was afraid that the other party would refuse.

Gaia pondered for a long time and asked, "But that thing brings destruction, doesn't it?" ”

"If I don't look for it, others will look for it, it's better for me to find it than for them to find it, and besides, to reforge the Eye of Rulai, I still need the last white tiger eye, and I still have the most hope, but now, I must find the basalt, bring it back to Shangdu, and let my people mix in." Tang Shuxing said word for word, hoping to convince Gaia because of this.

"Your people?" Gaia looked a little disbelieving, "I don't know the person you are talking about, and I don't want to know him, I just want to ask you, do you really believe him?" ”

"I question everything, I've been betrayed many times, but I have to choose to believe him, even if he turns over countless mistakes, but I believe that he is full of true justice in his bones." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "However, when I faced him, I couldn't say these words, I was worried that this would make him retreat from progressing, because in order for justice to completely defeat evil, the relative must be more evil than evil, and war is always unscrupulous." ”

Gaia lowered her head: "Your words remind me of my father, my father also said something similar, when I first came to this world, he told me that if you insist on dividing the world into two, then it can only be divided into good and bad, and if good wants to overcome bad, it must be worse." ”

"Yes, I agree." Tang Shuxing nodded slightly.

"I'll take you there, but unfortunately, I can't talk to you anymore when I leave this device, so there are a lot of things that I need to say, and I will tell you with a nod and a shake." After Gaia finished speaking, she put her head on the edge of the waterhole, and asked Tang Shuxing to take out her equipment from the hole over there, and then found a rope to tie it to her back, and then supported Tang Shuxing to prepare to drill out from under the waterhole.

Before leaving, Gaia once again admonished: "There is a distance from here to the Xuanwu Kingdom, although I can reach it quickly at my speed, along the way, I will encounter many monsters created by a certain group of your new human beings, and I used to feed on those monsters. ”

"Artificial monsters?" Tang Shu sat on Gaia's back and asked, "Is that the same one that attacked me before?" ”

"Of course, it was originally a kind of shark, called the Wrinkled Gill Shark, but the ones that attacked you were all artificially modified, and they were indiscriminately modified, so the reproductive ability is much stronger than before, and it is also many times more intelligent than ordinary aquatic creatures." Gaia said as she dived, "So, no matter what happens to you along the way, don't mess around, just follow me." ”

Tang Shuxing nodded, and only grasped the rope tied to Gaia's body: "Understood!" ”

"Gone!" Gaia turned around and dived into the pool, and Tang Shuxing immediately bit the breathing apparatus and followed Gaia out of the sea hole at the bottom of the pool below.

After passing out of the sea cave, a black mist came to him, Gaia shouted, which was regarded as a warning to Tang Shuxing to be careful, not to move, and then rotated his body, forming a whirlpool under the water, dispersing all the black mist.

After Tang Shu, who was dizzy from turning, found that there were many strange octopuses hidden in the black mist, the octopus was not big, but it was pitch black, and there were hard objects like knives on the tentacles - several black octopuses had shaved a huge frilled shark into a skeleton, and the small octopuses around were swimming around, devouring the pieces of flesh that had been shaved out and floating around.

It's one thing down one thing. Tang Shuxing thought, and then Gaia bypassed the octopus and continued to move towards the deep sea, the speed was so fast that it felt like a rocket moving forward in the bottom of the sea.

Soon, Gaia dived into the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea again, shaking her body to hide herself from the dust and mist of the mud and sand, and then slowly turned her head to look to the side, Tang Shuxing also immediately fixed her eyes on it, and found that there was a group of silvery-white things in the distance, which seemed to be a school of fish, but those fish seemed to have large wings.

Flying Fish? Tang Shuxing was thinking about it, the group of fish began to disperse, surrounding those octopuses, and their bodies began to flicker violently, and at the moment of flickering, Gaia subconsciously closed her eyes, and Tang Shuxing immediately closed when she saw this, and then Gaia began to slowly squirm towards the front of the sea.

After a long time, when Tang Shuxing felt that the flash was weakening, he looked back and found that the group of black octopuses were floating in the sea as if they were dead, and those silver light fish began to sprint quickly, biting the tentacles of those octopuses, leaving only their bodies, and then quickly gathered into a ball, and continued to emit silver light and flew into the distance.

The octopus, which had lost its tentacles, soon "came back to life" and disappeared with the help of its own child, squirming with difficulty and falling into the sand below.

Tang Shuxing Zhilu said that Gaita was to let her see clearly that even around this island, there is its own food chain, and if something goes wrong in one link, then the creatures here will not survive, and eventually Gaia herself will die because of the loss of food.

"Squeak—" After a long walk, Gaia finally stopped at a hole in the bottom of the sea and let out a long scream.

Tang Shuxing looked at the dark sea cave below, and knew that this must be the entrance of the basalt cave, so he patted Gaia lightly, signaling that he could move forward, while Gaia just spread her body, coiled on the outside of the cave, circled, bit her tail, squinted at Tang Shuxing, and signaled him to wait, as if something was about to happen.
