Chapter 491: Dead End

This sudden change surprised Song Qing, but after the accident, she couldn't help but feel happy again, she originally felt quite a headache about this seal, but she didn't expect that it would take no effort to get it at this time.

She suppressed her surprise and finally focused on the back half of the letter.

'We entered the temple and found out why the Titans were extinct!' ’

At this point, the handwriting became more and more messy and almost illegible, and it was evident that the writer of the letter was terrified even though he had escaped the danger and recalled the scene.

'There is a terrible source of curse enshrined there, the Titans are too greedy, have a strong constitution and a far better lifespan than humans, but are still not satisfied, and worship them with the essence of their blood...... Evil body! The mother beast divides its own spores and parasitizes the body of the powerful Titans, transforming its body into an even more terrifying weapon of war. ’

Such a result had long been expected by Song Qingxiao, and seeing this, she sighed silently.

After being parasitized by spores, the Titans burst out with terrifying combat power far superior to their kind, and their strength and speed soared, but bad luck also followed, and their greed began to be counterattacked. ’

The transformed Titans quickly lost control, and the mother body irrigated by the Titans with powerful essence blood began to grow rapidly, and the Titans became the puppets of the mother after being parasitized by spores.

By the time the Titans realized something was wrong, the situation was out of control.

In order to enhance their own abilities, most of the Titans have taken the initiative to let this mother body host, and after a short period of strength increase, these powerful races began to mutate into terrifying parasitic beasts, wreaking havoc and killing, looking for the essence blood that provides more energy for the mother.

The Titans of this period were notorious and began to be cursed and abandoned by the gods!

The once prosperous city began to fall with the demise of the Titans, and the terrifying giant spiders began to wreak havoc on the land.

At this time, the wrath of the gods descended, tearing the earth apart, and the sea replaced the mountains and rivers, flooding the city, burying these alien creatures into the depths of the sea along with the parasite.

This period is known as the Dark Age, when civilization was almost broken, everything was overturned and rewashed, and there was almost no record in the history of inheritance!

‘…… The demons were not extinct, but were only temporarily suppressed by the divine will. Our arrival awakens this ancient city, and at the same time, it awakens the sleeping mother. ’

Our power is vulnerable to it, and in order to survive, most of the people, under the threat of death, are willing to become its slaves, and take the initiative to parasitize it for its drive. ’

After being parasitized by spores, the parasite will hide in the host's body, relying on the host's essence and blood to live, slowly absorbing the host's life and doing things for it. ’

It has been 'sealed' for years, longing to regain dominance of the world, to return to the Dark Ages, to enslave humanity and feed on all living things.

The people who have been parasitized by it are trying to send distress messages to the outside world, attracting new blood from the outside world to come in and increase its power, and at the same time it is also looking for ways to break the walls of time and space. ’

At this time, Professor An and his entourage, who broke into the Lost City, were divided into two groups, one of them was willing to accept maternal parasitism, steal life, and mutilate the same kind; Some refuse to be slaves of the mother and want to escape!

The comrades-in-arms who used to advance and retreat together became mortal enemies at this time, and began to kill and hunt each other.

We were gradually defeated, so we followed Professor Ann into the cabin and locked the hatch. This parasite is terrible, too harmful to humanity to destroy the race, and must not be released from this cage. ’

We can feel that these parasitic compatriots are already mutating. ’

'The food in the cabin is decreasing......

'We've intercepted another lure signal that they're trying to send......

'Their power is growing, and we can feel the ship under attack......

It probably won't last long, the ship is moving, being pried by them, no, it should be them. ’

Maybe we won't live long, the ship is moving, they want to throw us to the brink! ’

……

'The gods are above! If someone after them sees this letter I left behind, be sure to stop them! For the reproduction of mankind! If you don't choose to be parasitized, and if you still have a way to escape, be sure to take this sad news out and stop those who still want to find the Lost City. ’

The owner of the letter left behind his family message, but after many years, his letter remained in the cabin until the arrival of the trialists.

This is a letter to the outside world explorers who first entered the Lost City and held on to their bottom line, but were trapped in the cabin of the ship, and were unable to get the key message out of the Lost City when they died.

As long as the news does not reach the outside world, the adventurers who go to the Lost City will continue to flow through the ages, and eventually become a food source and slave for the mother parasitic beast.

Song Qingxiao sat on the sand, flipped the letter over and over several times, and knew that the reason why the sealing door in the sea was half lit up was absolutely inseparable from the letter in her hand.

It was a letter warning the outside world not to be easily lured by the signals of the Lost City, in opposition to the lure signals they had received in the first place.

She pondered the requirements of the mission, as well as all the details of what she knew so far.

From the moment these people entered the Lost City, both the bearers of the bow and the clues left in the letter prove that these people who entered the Lost City entered in the same way.

First confirm the location of the Lost City's sinking sea - then receive a mysterious signal from the Lost City to be lured - and then encounter the wind and waves, be swept into the space-time rift, and enter this space wall of another dimension!

If you want to go out, the conditions should also be the same as when you came in.

The message is intended to convey the opposite of the purpose of the signal of lure, which is equivalent to a signal to stop - then there will be a storm and waves, and then it will break through the walls of space and return to reality!

In other words, this letter is equivalent to one of the important and indispensable stepping stones to leave this world, which is the main reason why the sealed door is lit up in the quest prompt!

Now, perhaps, as soon as the storm and waves appear, another door should be lit up.

Song Qingxiao figured this out and was ecstatic at the moment.

There was only one letter, and it had already fallen into her hands, which meant that the roads of One, Two, and Three to receive the escape mission had all been blocked.

However, in this mission, the people who initially broke into the Lost City were divided into two factions, and it is very likely that the First and others will also turn to join the camp to prevent them from escaping.

But the other group of people who succumb to reality choose to be parasitized by the mother, and are willing to become one of the parasites of the mother in order to survive for a short time.

If you want to fall into the hunting camp and prevent yourself from escaping, Song Qingxiao guessed that she would probably need to meet certain conditions.

And this condition of going to the opposite camp is very likely to be costly.

Her gaze fell on Zhou Qi's body floating on the water, the sturdy woman's internal organs had almost been hollowed out, and only a shell remained.

The scent of parasites lingered on her, attracting a large number of fish.

The fish tugged at her body and slowly dragged her body to the bottom of the lake, her upper body already submerged in the water, and only a pair of legs were still fluttering on the water.

From a distance, she looked as if she was still alive and struggling.

The God's trial rules are cruel, and if nothing else, this rule that goes to the hunting camp is most likely to be like her and the bow-wielding men, who accept the parasitism of the mother, so that they can justifiably hunt down those who want to flee and stop those who want to send the news out of the Lost City.

Even if Song Qingxiao had guessed that the conditions for escaping from the Lost City were harsh and difficult to complete at the beginning, he had planned to hunt and kill others to prevent him from escaping, but at this time, he completely dispelled this idea.

She glanced at the letter again, and at the end of it, the writer emphasized with great penpower: 'Stop them!' For the reproduction of mankind. ’

The harm of parasites is too great, and it can bring catastrophe to human beings, and this kind of thing must not leave here!

Even if it wasn't for the people in the trial scene, even if it was just a world of nothingness, she would never allow her body to be invaded and parasitized by such things.

There is currently a Su Wu's divine consciousness hidden in her sea of consciousness, which has already brought her endless troubles and troubles, and she must not have one more thing to endanger herself, even if the way to escape is extremely difficult!

Song Qingxiao's eyes became firm, she folded the unfolded letter again, stuffed it into the waterproof bag again, and put it back in her pocket.

In the lake, Zhou Qi's body had been dragged down by most of the fish, and only a pair of legs were still exposed to the water, swaying back and forth.

If the rules for escaping from the Lost City are the same as when they came, now that Song Qingxiao has this letter, it is equivalent to having a 'permit' to go out.

But the conditions for the other half of the seal to light up still need to be explored by her, and where did the wind and waves come from?

Although the lake in front of him surrounds half of the dungeon, this little bit of water is obviously not enough to cause a monstrous wave, so where is this huge wave that can send people away?

She forced herself to calm down, slowly straightening out the clues she knew so far in her mind.

Whether it is Professor An and his party, or the group of bow-bearers later, they should be very clear about the rules for leaving the Lost City, as can be seen from Song Qingxiao's conversation with the bow-wielding man last night, they probably also understand in their hearts that if they want to leave this space-time wall, they need to have a huge wave that breaks through the shackles of the two spaces like when they came!

But the Lost City is a small world of its own, and as the man said, it doesn't blow or rain without wind, and the lake alone can't lift up big winds and waves.

Since this trial mission has proposed that she can escape from here, it proves that this game cannot be an absolutely unsolvable dead end, so there is always an opportunity to set off a huge wave, but she has not discovered it yet.

Song Qingxiao raised his head, facing the statue of the god on the top of the opposite mountain.

It was the center of the temple of the Titans, and Professor An and his party also appeared there when they first entered this world, but they were later thrown into the canyon by mutated fellow boats!

The people who actively chose to be parasitized in the early stage also set up their base camp in the temple, and the bow bearers also tried to lead the trialists there after discovering them last night.

Professor An and the others were also in the temple, awakening the mother body in the temple and encountering an accident.

From entering the trial scene last night until now, the trialists have been chased by the parasitic symbiote beast, but they have not found the mother mentioned in the letter.

It is highly likely that the Mother has been hiding in the temple since it was awakened by the explorers, relying solely on its parasites to pursue it or lure humans to the temple on their own initiative.

That is, there may be some kind of prohibition in the temple that traps it so that it cannot leave; It could also be that there is something special about it in the temple that makes it reluctant to leave.

Either way, it's enough to prove that there is something strange in the temple.

She remembered what the letter had said, 'I saw a miracle'!

At first, Song Qingxiao thought of the huge statue, but now that he thought about it, he felt that something was not right.

She remembered that before she left the group, the bow-wielding man mentioned the temple and called it a great building, very magnificent.

A group of people who have been parasitized by maternal spores and whose bodies will gradually transform into terrifying monsters should have a deep fear of the mother.

Even if the body will be affected by the parasite after parasitism and have an instinctive closeness to the mother, these people should be more afraid than close when they are still rational at the beginning of being parasitized.

But what kind of temptation did they have to overcome their fears and build their base camp in the temple, next to the Mother?

I'm afraid it's the desire to survive with life! Or maybe it's their lifeline!

The temple may be hiding a secret that might allow them to escape! The reason why the Mother has been lurking in the temple and refusing to leave may be that there is a weakness hidden enough to restrain it, or it may be that there is something hidden there that it desires and wants.

According to the letter, it attracts adventurers, most likely because it wants to return to the world and create the Dark Age once again, and it will rule the raging period.

What it feared was the sea that had flooded the Lost City in the first place.

And what it desires is probably to leave the gap in time and space, return to the real world, and reproduce the parasite to the whole world.

The Titans have created this terrifying weapon of mass destruction, and they should also create another way to restrain it.

The so-called 'divine punishment', in Song Qingxiao's view, is more like a means for the Titan clan to clean up the aftermath.

In other words, either possibility, it is enough to prove that there may be a storm mechanism hidden in the temple that can break through the walls of time and space!

But this mechanism is within the control of the mother.

It's a dead end, but there may be a silver lining to it.

These are just her guesses at the moment, but in any case, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will also go through the confirmation.

Song Qingxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of this.
