Chapter 483: Sprouts

After the man finished speaking, he sat back by the fire without waiting for Song Qingxiao's response.

A few of his commanders, with their longbows, wound their arrows and aimed them at a few of the trialists as if they were nothing.

The relaxed atmosphere when he had just spoken and shared food suddenly disappeared, and the air was filled with a strong sense of war.

The silver wolf squinted his eyes and stepped forward, letting out a menacing growl in his throat, and the massive soles of his feet hit the ground with a subtle sound as his nails stepped into the sand and touched the rocky ground.

It brought a great sense of oppression to these people, causing several bow-wielding men to look a little panicked, and instinctively took a step back and pulled the bow wider.

"Ma'am." When the man at the head saw this scene, he snorted coldly and calmly:

"Take care of your pet, bows and arrows don't have eyes."

"Don't be angry." No. 1 rolled his eyes and came forward again to play a round:

"We are just new to the city, and we have encountered these terrible human-faced spiders again, and Miss An has more questions because of panic and anxiety." When he said this, he shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and passed a 'you know' look to the man in charge.

Maybe No. 1 had a good impression on him before, or maybe it was because they had seen the scene of the trialist confronting the giant spider when they were on the beach before, and they were wary and didn't want to tear their faces with a few people for the time being.

In addition, the huge size of the silver wolf and the dangerous aura it emitted made these people feel frightened and uneasy, so after No. 1 spoke, this person took the opportunity to step down, and also softened his tone:

"It's different from the outside world, there's a different set of rules."

He waved his hand, "We have to hurry tomorrow, let's rest early." ”

"Dude, where are we going?" Seeing that his face had softened a little, Number One also asked questions.

His face turned cold, but he still reluctantly answered One's question:

"Back to our base camp."

After saying this, the man lowered his eyelids to block the look in his eyes, obviously not intending to answer any more questions from the group.

The fire made a crisp sound when it burned, and Song Qingxiao stroked the back of the silver wolf's neck and walked towards the door of the stone house.

As soon as she moved, several people with bows were extremely vigilant, and immediately seemed to be about to follow, until they saw Song Qingxiao walk to the door of the stone house and sit down, then they stopped their steps, but their eyes were staring at her back faintly.

The night breeze outside the house is 'whirring', and the temperature drops even lower after the four walls are less shaded.

However, because of Song Qingxiao's special spiritual power attributes, these chills could not have the slightest impact on her.

A breath leaned from behind her, and the silver wolf, who was lying at her feet and was caressing to the point that it seemed lethargic, lifted his eyelids, and his eyes showed a cold color.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with this group?"

Number Two squatted alongside her on the steps in her own way, and his voice entered her sea of consciousness with his divine sense.

"Do you still need to ask?" Song Qingxiao lazily replied to No. 2, disdainful of selling off in this kind of thing.

"Hey, hey." No. 2 was exposed by her, laughed, and didn't feel embarrassed:

"From the time we were on the riverbank, after this group of people rescued us, it was obvious that regardless of whether we accosted us at the time and expressed our intention to follow them, this group of people should not have any intention of letting us go."

He touched his chin, and several eyes behind him kept falling on the two of them, undisguised.

"Say, where does he want to take us?"

A glimmer of light flashed in the second eye, and he asked.

Before Song Qingxiao could speak, there was a sound of footsteps behind them, and the two of them didn't need to turn their heads, they sensed the breath of No. 1 and stood still not far from the two of them.

This person is a wind-based ability, and it should be easy for him to walk without showing his face, and at this time, he deliberately made a noise, which should be a reminder to the two of them that he was coming.

He first glanced at No. 2, then went to look at Song Qingxiao, crossed No. 2, and directly lowered his voice and said:

"Three, do you see that too?"

There is something wrong with these people!

From the fact that they rescued a few people, took the initiative to invite everyone to join them, to generously sharing the shortage of food with them, leading everyone to the 'base camp' where they were not going to go, and not wanting to mention a word about the base camp, all made the trialists instinctively feel that something was wrong.

"What do you think they say is true and what is false?"

From Song Qingxiao's slightly impulsive questions before, everyone also touched some general things.

"I'm afraid the reason for entering here is true, it's possible that this place is cursed, and ......"

Song Qing came here, her tongue against the roof of her mouth, and she didn't say anything, but No. 1 and No. 2 both understood that what she didn't say should be the sentence that the man said excitedly: This is the cage created by the Lord God!

This also explains why this place can not be entered, since it is a cage, it must be trapped by some dangerous things, so that they cannot get out.

What are the dangerous things? At first, No. 1 and the others thought it was a giant spider, but then they felt that something was wrong.

As Song Qingxiao said, if the giant spider really belongs to a new species that has evolved to adapt to the marine environment, then it cannot be regarded as an absolutely dangerous thing to the outside world.

After all, from everything I have experienced before, although the number of giant spiders is large, if it threatens the survival of humans, it is not a serious problem to eliminate them.

Unless for some reason, these terrifying giant spiders can't really be eradicated!

"You mean, the speculation that the existence of those giant spiders mentioned by them is that the natives of the Lost City mutated in order to adapt to the marine environment is also false?"

Number Two was not slow to react, and he got to the heart of the matter.

"It's a fake."

Song Qing nodded. A dark and inexplicable luster flashed in No. 1's eyes, which he had actually guessed a long time ago, but he only guessed it instinctively, but he was not as sure as Song Qingxiao, as if she had evidence to support her theory.

"Why do you say that?" He turned his head to look inside the room, half of his face was shrouded in the shadows outside, and half of his face was bathed in the light of the fire, and the whole person showed a sense of confusion: "The faces of those giant spiders are no different from those of humans, very much like an alternative evolutionary being. ”

"That's true." Song Qing nodded, took out something from his pocket, and took it to his eyes and looked at it for a long time.

Two turned his head to see what looked like a finger, but he quickly realized that it wasn't a finger, it was supposed to be a section of the tip of a giant spider's terrifying limb.

Perhaps in the battle, she was beheaded by Song Qingxiao, and she took it into her bag as a trophy, and took it out from time to time to admire.

Thinking of this, No. 2 couldn't help but look at Song Qingxiao several times strangely, and laughed awkwardly:

"I didn't expect you to have this hobby."

Song Qingxiao was too lazy to talk to him, and after holding this limb in his hand and playing with it for a long time, he threw it in the direction of No. 2:

"Look at it."

Seeing her move, No. 1 frowned slightly, and instinctively exchanged tacit glances with No. 4, who was still sitting by the fire.

No. 2 didn't care about the exchange between the eyebrows of the two people, and took the amputated limb thrown by Song Qingxiao into his hand and observed it carefully.

This thing is no harder than steel, and when you look closely, it does look like a half-curled finger.

The 'fingers' are covered with tiny, hard barbs, which may have been a variation over time.

What surprised Number Two was not the knuckle, but the unusually flat incision.

It was sleek, apparently sharpened by something sharper than this fingernail.

This thing itself is extremely hard, it can grasp stones, it can be easily cut, Song Qingxiao may have a sharper weapon than this claw armor!

He stole his fingertips and touched the incision again, and threw it at No. 1, who was standing by the door, without changing his face.

After No. 1 took it, he touched it for a long time, and his face changed slightly, and finally held the half amputated limb in the palm of his hand:

"It's very similar to the shape of a finger after mutation, which may prove that the giant spider is indeed related to humans, and even ...... "It may be the offspring of humans who are born and multiply after mutation in order to adapt to the environment," but ......"

"Not offspring." Song Qingxiao shook his head, "It's not born to adapt to the environment. ”

"What do you mean?" Number One narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Symbiote." Song Qingxiao didn't reply to his words, but muttered the words 'symbiotic beast' that the man with the bow blurted out at the beginning on the tip of his tongue:

"Symbiotic ......"

No. 1 and No. 2 saw her whispering to themselves, looked at each other, and No. 2 said loudly:

"Number 3 ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qing raised his head:

"I suspect that these giant spiders may have once been humans." What she said was similar to the previous speculations of No. 1 and No. 2, and there was nothing surprising.

But then she added:

"And it's possible that after the appearance of the Lost City, like the bow-wielding man, Professor An and others, they were attracted by the signal transmitted by the Lost City!"

She was so sure because she thought of the hydrophobia of the giant spiders, which was consistent with the bow-wielding men.

In the space of trials, subtle similarities can never be coincidental, and the only possibility is to prove that there is a necessary connection between the giant spider and these people.

Her words were like a thunderbolt, instantly changing the faces of No. 1 and No. 2.

"What?"

Number Two even shouted a voice, attracting the attention of several bow bearers who were pretending to sleep by the fire in the house, causing them to open their eyes, and the bow bearer at the head was also awakened by the voice of Number Two, tilting his head and staring coldly at several trialists who were whispering discussions.

"Someone who was introduced to the outside world?" One's face became a little more serious, "If that's the case, then what happened to them in a short period of time to become like this?" ”

"It's not clear what happened, but ......" Song Qing held his chin with his small hand, turned his head to look into the room, and his gaze met the gloomy eyes of the man with the bow, and naturally turned away:

"Since it's called symbiosis, it may be that humans have reached some agreement with them that has caused this kind of mutation." This hideous and terrifying creature maintains the appearance of a spider while retaining some human features.

In fact, Song Qingxiao thinks that this kind of 'symbiosis' should be forced by human beings to agree, and the giant spiders that chased and killed them at that time, although they had a certain IQ, were like creatures that had completely lost their minds, and obviously only left some human heads in vain, and no longer had the ability to think.

In layman's terms, these people are supposed to be 'dead', but after they die, the corpse lives in another state.

This state is not a living corpse like Chu Ke who maintains his pre-mortem memories and intelligence, but a mutated walking corpse.

In other words, if human beings are not voluntarily alienated into this form, this state can also be called:

"Parasitic."

The two looked cold, and Song Qingxiao continued:

"As for why human beings were forced to agree to such parasitism, it should be when the safety of life was extremely threatened at that time."

And what is this extreme threat? There is no need for Song Qingxiao to say this question anymore, and No. 2 has already said:

"The Lord God created the source of sin in a cage."

This is the 'curse' of the lost city mentioned by the bow-wielding man at the head.

Having said that, even if the trial mission has not yet appeared, the general context of the goal is already obvious.

No. 1 and No. 2's hearts sank, in fact, Song Qingxiao said that they had a vague bad premonition before, but no one dared to associate it.

The mission scene is only in and out, plus the terrifying spider swarm transformed by the 'parasitic' humans, and there may be a 'curse' imprisoned by the main god here, it is conceivable that this mission is either to eliminate the source of the curse, or to escape from this lost city!

It's also possible to do both, eliminating the source of the curse before escaping the cursed city! In this way, the task naturally increases the difficulty of the task.

But if the man with the bow hadn't lied in this regard, this city was located in another dimension of the world, and the space-time gate had not appeared, and the two worlds were like two parallel lines that were not connected, how could they get out?

When you don't know where the way out is, even if the mission is started, how can it be carried out?

At the door of the stone house, the two trialists were so shocked by the heavy blow that they couldn't even speak, only felt that their mouths were full of bitterness.

"How is this going to get out?" No. 1 smiled bitterly, he didn't expect someone to respond, but he didn't expect Song Qingxiao to take out another thing and take a closer look:

"How to get here, how to get out naturally!"

The reason why Professor Ann and the bow-wielding man entered the place was because they were attracted by a mysterious signal and pushed by the wind and waves.

In the same way, to get out of this place, you may need some kind of signal, and the same storm and wave push.

But this place has risen to the surface, banished by the real world, without wind and waves, and where are the storms and waves?
