Clokas's expression was strange, he didn't understand how Morningstar could have such an idea? Eat it? The hard shell of this thing can resist the fire of a sniper rifle, can you bite it?

"If you can eat it, eat it! I won't stop you! Crokas said with a playful look at Morningstar.

"Huh?" Morning Star wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Ha, I thought it was a drug, it scared me to death, how can I eat this thing, just look at it and know that it is very hard." My lord, what is this? ”

Klokas took the black ball out of the box, stretched out his finger and tapped it on the surface twice, and saw the body of the black ball slowly unfolding, the tips of the eight slender chelicerae exuded a sharp light, and the dozen compound eyes on his head kept looking at the surrounding environment, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw the morning star.

Krokas didn't notice the bug's abnormal reaction, and stretched out his fingers to stroke back and forth on the hard carapace of the bug's back, as if he was petting the cat's owner.

"This little guy is my little baby, and I named him Little Sweetheart." Krokas was intoxicated, and when he spoke, there was love in his eyes. Morning Star was about to fall to the ground with goosebumps all over his body, and asked, "My lord, what is this for?" Are you going to use this thing to spy on my movements? ”

Crokas laughed out loud and said, "Am I idle, and I still have to spy on you?" This little guy will attach himself to you, and once you do anything that is sorry for the Cult, he will enter your body, eat your internal organs and flesh, and finally grow into adulthood with your body! After that, break out of your body and turn into a butterfly! ”

Hey? What is this thing? Alien insects? I haven't heard Quinn say that there are such a variety of insects?

When Morning Star saw the moment the insect unfolded its body, he completely lost the previous feeling of fear, and couldn't help but walk to Krokas's side, and also stretched out his hand to press the insect in Klokas's hand, and said with a smile: "This little thing is quite fun, and it can be transformed!" ”

Crokas didn't expect that the threat he had just made would not have any effect on the morning star, and what he didn't expect was that his little pet didn't grin at strangers and launch a ferocious attack like in the past. Looking at Morning Star in surprise, Crokas couldn't figure out what was going on with this guy? Don't know to be afraid? It's impossible, as long as people with desires will be afraid, Morning Star is obviously the kind of person with desires. Missing root nerve? It doesn't look like it, how can a person who lacks nerves be exquisite? Unable to figure it out, Crokas finally asked, "I say, aren't you afraid of it?" ”

Morningstar heard Crokas's words, and suddenly realized that his performance was too appalling. Looking at Crokas's appearance, I am afraid that this trick has been used on others, and his performance is afraid to arouse his suspicion. Thinking about it, Morningstar hurriedly explained, "Lord Apostle, I don't understand, why should I be afraid of it? ”

"Aren't you afraid of death?

？ ”

Morning Star hurriedly replied: "How can you not be afraid of death, or can you make all possibilities come true, and if you die, there will be nothing." ”

"Then why did you behave like this after hearing my words?" Clokas took back his harvest and put the worm back into the box, which had turned into a black ball. Today, not only the performance of this guy named Ye Feng in front of him surprised him, but even the performance of this black bug made him feel puzzled. Regrouped into a ball? What's the situation? Could it be that this insect is afraid of this Ye Feng? Krokas carefully looked at the young man in front of him again, what was there to be afraid of, the momentum was not strong, the face was a slave, the physique was not strong, and it was much worse than himself, how could this bug be clumped into a ball again?

Just when Crokas's mind was in turmoil, he only heard Cheng say in his ear: "My lord, it is because of your words that I feel at ease. You said that if I betrayed the Cult, there would be those terrible things that followed. But I don't have such thoughts at all, my original intention has not changed! I guess the reason why this worm didn't show hostility towards me was because of my devotion to the Cult! ”

Huh? This explanation seems to make sense, it sounds like that. Crokas thought about it, maybe this is really the reason? His gaze wandered back and forth between Morning Star and the bug a few times, and finally said, "Although this is a possibility, I still have to add a bit of insurance to my decision, I still need to use this bug to control you!" But don't worry, as long as you're loyal to the Cult, this bug won't hurt you, and I'll take it down for you myself when you've done enough. ”

Morningstar was still a little worried about this bug in his heart, because he didn't know what kind of method this thing would use to get along with him, either eating it, I'm afraid it was parasitic. After thinking for a moment, Morningstar decided to take a gamble, betting that the performance of this bug was due to the influence of the dominant aura in his body.

"Come, Lord Apostle, I am willing to accept your supervision."

……

Krokas was a man of his word, and he literally informed Morningstar of the method of controlling the dead. Leaving Crokas's room, Morningstar followed Crokas' footsteps for a long time, twisting and turning so much that Morningstar could barely remember where he had come.

Along the way, Morningstar's mind kept recalling the control methods that Krokas taught him about the dead soldiers, to put it bluntly, the dead man's brain is like a set of programs that have been programmed, the programmer has set the highest authority, let these dead soldiers faithfully carry out their own orders, and then open up a certain amount of authority for his subordinates, on the basis of ensuring that the programmer is not harmed, they can obey their orders to the greatest extent. And so on, each level of control will open up this authority to its subordinates, while ensuring that the dead will respect the orders of the upper controllers if their own orders conflict with those of their subordinates. And the part of the permissions that Crokas gave to Morningstar was set according to this template

Target.

I can't think of any method used by the programmer, the main god of the Mandate of Heaven Sect, to turn a living person into this, but Morning Star had to admire his methods. Even the most loyal soldier will have his own ideas, once the officer's order seriously violates the soldier's own perception of the problem, the soldier will also have resistance, whether he will refuse to carry out the order depends entirely on the soldier's tolerance. But such a dead soldier of the Heavenly Mandate Sect will never have such a problem, and all the final decisions are in the hands of the so-called Lord God.

Sensing that the little thing behind his back was about to slip to the ground, Morningstar had to relax his muscles so that it could lie on Morningstar's back more easily. Remembering the scene where Klokas had thrown the worm at him in the room, Morningstar almost didn't laugh out loud. As Morningstar had guessed, the bugs were afraid of themselves because of the dominant genes in their bodies. Among the hierarchical alien insect races, such as the dominator, which is close to the peak of high-end combat power, the sense of oppression generated in the genes is unbearable for any kind of alien insect, even if this kind of insect is modified, or appears after the death of the master, but the indelible fragment of information in the gene retains this kind of surrender intact.

Krokas was pretty handsome at the time, at least that's what Morningstar thought. Morningstar turned around, took out the worm from the box in a dashing manner, and threw the ball-like worm at Morningstar's neck with a flick of the toss. According to Crokas's previous experience, the insect flying in the air should unfold its body, quickly grab the target after touching it, and then find the target's spine itself, and use its sharp chelica to pierce the target's skin, connecting with the target's flesh. But this time, Krokas was shocked, and even his jaw fell a little uncontrollably. The damn bug didn't respond to its own commands, and was still a ball when it touched the morning star! As a result, the hard shell knocked the morning star into pain, and then the bug fell to the ground, and bounced several times.

The unbelieving Klokas tried again, and the result was still the same. Although Morningstar wanted to laugh, but he held back, after Clokas failed a few times, Morningstar realized that he should give Crokas some "help", because Morningstar knew that Crokas's trick would not work, I am afraid that there would be other ideas, it is better to take advantage of the fact that this strange bug is still within his control, so that Crokas can feel more at ease.

Trying to convey his thoughts to the bug, this ball-like guy really accepted it, unfolded his body, and got under Morning Star's clothes from the back collar of Morning Star's clothes, and squirmed for a long time, and finally did not dare to pierce Morning Star's skin with chelicera. In desperation, Morningstar had to use the strength of his muscles to clamp the bug in his back. It didn't work bad, at least he deceived Klokas on the spot. It's just that as the morning star walks, there are some signs that this bug can't catch it.

soon

Afterward, Morningstar and Klokas finally reached the very core of the underground base, a huge underground excavation site.

As expected by Morning Star, those humans who were captured as captives by the Mandate of Heaven Sect were numbly digging in the excavation field at the moment. Without the roar of machinery and the assistance of technology, everyone here can only use the most primitive method, rotating the tools in their hands, and knocking on the stone wall in front of them one by one.

Indeed, as Crokas had said, the captives' labor force had dropped considerably, and even the Morning Star could see that they had no power to rotate their tools. They use what little physical strength they have left to pick up the tools, and then let the tools in their hands fall freely under the influence of gravity.

Morning Star frowned and asked, "Lord Apostle, why do you use these captives for this kind of hard work?" Can't you use a digging robot? ”

Crokas replied with some displeasure, "Do you think I can't think of such an idea?" I don't know what the hell is going to happen here, any electronic device that comes here will fail, otherwise how would I use these weak wastes! ”

Sure enough, Morning Star understood why he felt less and less technological around him in the process of getting closer to here, it turned out to be this reason.

"I'm sorry, Lord Apostle!" Morning Star hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's me who lost my word." I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to tell me, what are we collecting here? ”

Clokas looked at Morning Star for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh at his caution. The bugs have already parasitized this guy, so what do you have to worry about. Pointing to the place where the crowd was working in the distance, Klokas said, "There, there is a key item for the Cult of God to re-establish the order of the universe, and we call it an artifact!" A stone left behind by a mysterious ancient civilization, this stone can bring a huge boost to the Cult! ”

My feeling is right, sure enough, the Heavenly Mandate Sect is also here for the artifact.

"Artifact?" Morning Star pretended to be ignorant, and asked cutely, "Or a stone?" Don't make trouble, my lord, why do you feel as unreliable as witchcraft and superpowers? ”

Klokas glanced at Morningstar contemptuously and replied, "In the future, you will know whether those superpowers are reliable or not, but for now, you just need to listen to me." ”

Morningstar nodded his head to indicate that he accepted the criticism.

"Everyone knows that in the entire universe, only the Golden Farm has this species of ice fruit. And the quality of the ice fruit, centered on where we are now, gradually diverges, and the farther away from here, the worse the taste will be, do you know why? ”

Looking at Crokas's appearance of showing off his knowledge, Morning Star smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a look of humility on his face: "Please mention it, my lord." ”

"Humph!" Clokas clasped his hands to his chest and said, "The Lord God is the greatest creature under the stars, and he has seen this strange plant in the last epoch. It grows under extremely harsh conditions

Carving, far from what can be satisfied here in the Golden Farm, so under the guidance of the Lord God, we used the pit worm crypt here as a cover to conduct a lot of research on the Gold Farm, and found that this place is indeed as the Lord God said, and it cannot meet the growth of ice fruits. ”

Morningstar frowned and asked, "Then why is there an ice fruit here?" ”

Crokas laughed and said, "Nature is the reason why we are here, that stone, that artifact, that artifact with endless life energy!" ”

"Could it be that what we're doing now is digging up artifacts?"

"What do you think?"

Morningstar also followed the example of Klokas and folded his arms, pinching his chin and thinking for a long time. Life energy? No matter how you look at this style of painting, it doesn't match the Heavenly Mandate Sect, these guys have a brain pump? What are you going to do with an artifact rich in life energy? Are you going to give up Wang Tu's hegemony and go back to farming? How is this possible?

"Your Excellency!" Morning Star looked puzzled and asked, "What does our mission have to do with this artifact?" Aren't we trying to reforge order? Do you want to help those human beings develop agriculture? ”

"Shallow!" Klokas reprimanded: "In your eyes, the artifact is only suitable for the development of agriculture? ”

"Huh? What else does it do? Didn't that thing make ice fruits grow in places that are not suitable for ice fruit growth? , isn't it used to develop agriculture? Morningstar asked, pretending to be stupid. How could Morningstar not know the immense value of this artifact. For human beings, it is entirely possible to completely transform the environment of a planet, from deserted to usable, from barren to rich, from uninhabitable to habitable. But what is the use of all this for the Mandate of Heaven Sect? Isn't their ultimate goal to destroy everything and then reforge order?

"Power is a magical being, it is formless and substantial, yet ever-changing. This powerful life energy may only be used to improve agriculture in your eyes, but in the hands of the Lord God, he can reverse it into the energy of death. Klokas looked intoxicated, his eyes looked upwards at forty-five degrees, as if his main god was there, and then said a little crazy: "Think about it, this stone can make creatures grow on such a large scale, after the reversal of the main god, does it only need to throw him into an inconspicuous corner of the planet for a moment, and all the life energy on this planet will be slowly absorbed, and finally turn into a desolation?" What a great power, what a long-term vision, my Lord God! ”

Listening to Crokas's words, Morning Star only felt a surge of anger, and under the shaking of his muscles, the bug behind him also felt the killing intent emanating from Morning Star's body, and became trembling. How lucky, Morning Star thought to himself, he didn't impulsively end his undercover career because of something, even if he ruined the elite of the Heavenly Mandate Sect in the Golden Farm in a fit of anger, it would be meaningless. Unable to hear this from Clokas, Morning Star would never have imagined that the Mandate of Heaven Sect would have such a method.

It took a long time for Morningstar to calm down and try to suppress his heart

Morning Star said, "This, I really can't imagine this......"

Klokas smiled lightly: "Slowly, you will also see the greatness of the Lord God, under the stars in the future, there will only be one name of the God Sect!" ”

Loyalty may be a good quality, but it also requires discernment of goals. Morningstar was impressed by Crokas's loyalty, but it was a pity that he had chosen the wrong target for this frenzy. Morning Star once thought that the Heavenly Mandate Sect was just a puppet pushed to the foreground by the threat in the void, but he didn't expect that this was the core strength at all, and it was no wonder that the Heavenly Mandate Sect had such a strong strength.

Having received enough information, Morningstar didn't want to continue talking to Krokas on the subject. Knowing the information about the artifact, and knowing the true purpose of the Mandate of Heaven Sect here, Morningstar felt that enough was enough, and it was time to seek a little welfare for these people who were suffering for no reason.

"My lord, in that case, we must speed up the process. God knows when the troops of those republics gathered outside will attack, and we should hurry. ”
