The black flying rabbit walked, and in an instant, before you knew it, winter and summer had already turned around.

With perseverance and hard work, perhaps it was really in response to the sentence "sincerity, the golden stone is open", Mo Chen found that the transformation of spiritual power was much faster than he expected-

At least three years and another three years will not happen, his current progress has begun to approach a third, and there is nothing wrong with his previous prediction, but he subconsciously ignored a problem.

That is, as more and more spiritual power is transformed into oneself, the speed of continuing to consume the remaining power with increasing spiritual power will also increase accordingly......

In short, the speed of this transformation itself is not static, but the further you go, the faster it becomes.

The very simple truth is that the power that belongs to one's own real mastery, the "feeling" is a liquid, water-like feeling, which flows in all parts of the body according to one's own will, and exists in flesh, bones, internal organs, and even every cell.

However, that part of Himiko has no power to be transformed, and it "feels" like a huge iceberg that is eternal, tall and majestic. The solid, hard iceberg was almost "solid", and he couldn't use it at will, so he had to choose to melt the ice into water.

But in contrast, Mo Chen's own strength is just a small stream, and what he has to do is to use his own strength to wash away that iceberg-

The solid ice is the power of Himiko, and the flowing water, that is, the part of the power that flows into the stream, is what truly belongs to him.

At first, it was very difficult, relying on the erosion of streams to melt huge icebergs, and the emphasis was on the work of water droplets.

But as more and more ice melts, the stream itself grows in momentum until it becomes a rushing river, and the size of the iceberg itself gradually decreases. Therefore, this speed can never be fixed, it will only get faster and faster.

According to his prediction, as long as he continues to maintain his current state and devotes most of his time to this aspect every day, he will definitely be able to fully grasp that huge spiritual power by this time next year.

However, this is only the most ideal situation, and Mo Chen himself knows that there is no possibility, because Sunset Kagome's fifteenth birthday is approaching.

After that, he definitely didn't have as leisurely as he did now, basically except for cultivation, it was time to study, unless he decided that he was just quietly acting as a bystander and not interfering in anything.

However...... This is absolutely impossible.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that in the past half a year, Jin Duoxi's project of "reducing production costs" has finally made a breakthrough before he has gray hair, which makes people see the possibility of mass production of clockwork machines-

He has even preliminarily designed a non-combat clockwork machine, thanks to the intelligent technology that can no longer be hacked, it can basically do a lot of things, and in a sense, it can already replace workers and servants.

As for the combat clockwork warriors, they have been further optimized and adjusted, becoming more powerful and deadly, and both defense and offense can be said to have skyrocketed.

Mo Chen was unceremonious, and while asking Jin Duoxi to find a way to promote the product and open the market, he booked 20% of the output. That is to say, for every five clockwork machines produced, one is not for sale, because it is provided to Mo Chen.

If it weren't for the fact that there was not enough profit to support it, the production line might not be able to sustain itself, and he even thought about ordering one for every two clockwork machines produced...... However, once the market in this area is opened, then the profits are absolutely huge.

After all, Jindoshi only reduced the production cost, but did not say that the price should be reduced......

It's just that the current production speed is still too low, and at full power, that's the output of ten clockwork machines a month - after all, this thing is considered high-tech, and with the overall technological power of the Earth's steam age, don't expect it to be fast.

We can only hope that after opening the market, we can expand production.

But this is also not easy, in order to convince the skeptical Empress Emily, it is meaningless to simply hide the existence of Jindosh, Mo Chen also personally went to talk to Her Majesty the Empress several times, and asked Sokolov to help to be considered a success.

Otherwise, the clockwork machine itself is contraband, let alone trying to open up the market, and even production is illegal.

As for the rest, there really isn't much to say, everything is going according to plan, and the world doesn't seem to have changed much. It's just that, as always, there have been some frictions and conflicts in the international community every now and then, which seems to be full of gunpowder.

This made Mo Chen wonder if there was something wrong with the exploration of the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, not that anything valuable had not been found, or that it was just because something valuable had been found that would lead to the discovery of the conflict.

After all, the reason is very understandable, the "spoils" are uneven, so that everyone is suspicious of each other, which is the most normal development.

Maybe the technology to make Storm Guardian was really found? But even the state apparatus has no mysterious power to use, or do they think they can restore the relevant technical details with the help of scientific and technological means?

What is that, "Extreme Transformation of the Human Body"? "Super Soldier Project"?

Anyway, these are none of Mo Chen's affairs, and he doesn't want to pay too much attention to them. If he could, he would rather find the whereabouts of those four "jackpots" as soon as possible than waste time on these things that had nothing to do with him.

It's a pity that the world is too big, and he wants to play a different game with no clues, and the difficulty is too unfriendly, and the result is that he finds nothing.

Or maybe you really think wrong, maybe nothing happened? Mo Chen tried his best to think so optimistically.

What he didn't know was that in the recent rainy season, in the mysterious rainforest of the Amazon Basin, a team of anthropologists and documentary filmmakers made their way to the depths.

It is said that the mysterious Shure people live in it, who worship the python as a god...... They plan to expose the mysteries of those primitive people and make documentaries about it.

And then - only two people came back alive.

And they didn't believe what they said, and they were arrested in a psychiatric hospital for their nonsense, and they were also charged with murder.

After all, even the top level of the state is inclined not to believe that there is really another side of the world, and many things are impossible to make public. And the actions and thoughts of the people below are naturally carried out according to common sense.

Rather than believing in the claim that a seventy-foot python killed someone, it is better to suspect that this is a normal murder. It's just that the prisoner himself is insane that he will use such a lame reason.

……

……

Today is May 7th, and the college entrance examination is ...... No, it's zero days until Sunset Kagome's birthday.

And it is also very clear on the yellow calendar -

It is advisable to trade, pay money, tailor, cut wood, and cross; Do not set up a bed, put on a beam, pray for blessings, accept livestock, and go to school.

At about 7:30 in the morning, a lively voice came from the Nippon Shrine as a dark-haired girl in a well-fitting sailor suit ran out of her home and waved behind her.

However, when she ran towards the torii gate and passed the ancestral hall, she subconsciously slowed down, because she saw her younger brother tiptoeing back and forth in the door of the ancestral hall.

"Kusata?"

"Ah, sister......"

"You can't play in the ancestral hall." Sunset Kagome walked to the door of the ancestral hall with a smile and gently touched her brother's head.

"But the gnats ......" Sunset Kusita seemed to be a little unwilling, turned her head to look at the interior of the ancestral hall, and said a name, which was a cat they had in the house.

"Ran into the ancestral hall?" Sunset Kagome was slightly stunned, and then looked at the dark space inside the door, the ancestral hall was relatively old, and the most important thing was that it was not used much, so there was no wire, and there was not even an electric light inside.

I could only see the downward staircase and the outline of an ancient well through the light that came through the outside, but other than that, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Then go in and find out, or you'll be late for school."

"But...... It's so dark and eerie in there, it makes me creepy. Sunset smiled a little awkwardly, and looked away, not daring to look at the sister next to her.

"What are you afraid of, you're a boy......" The black-haired girl sighed, looked at the time, and considered whether to spend time looking for the cat, and she also had to get to school before eight o'clock.

At this time, some strange sounds suddenly came from inside the ancestral hall, like sharp claws scratching the stone walls and wooden boards.

"Wow——!! The boy was taken aback and shouted in panic, "There's something inside!" What is it?! ”

“…… Nonsense, of course it's a gnat! Sunset Kagome was not frightened by the strange sound, but was taken aback by her younger brother, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"That's true......" She made a decision not to waste any more time, turned around and walked into the ancestral hall and walked down the stairs.

Find the cat as soon as possible and go to school...... That's what she thought.

It's just that the strange scratching sound didn't stop, and when she walked to the bottom step by step, she suddenly realized that the sound seemed to come from the sealed ancient well.

However, this situation is inevitably too strange, the girl subconsciously felt a feeling of hair in her heart, what is it that is scratching the wall of the well in the ancient well?

Then, she suddenly felt something touch her calf, bringing a hairy sensation:

"Ah——!!h

"Wow!" Sunset Grass on the stairs was also taken aback, and looked at her sister below with a sad face, "Sister, why did you suddenly scream so loudly, which scared me!" ”

"You, don't forget why I came here......"

Realizing that it was the cat rubbing her feet, Sunset Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing her brother's words, she couldn't help but turn around and raise her eyebrows and scolded.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the movement from the ancient well behind her, which seemed to be louder and more violent.

And the younger brother above suddenly stared directly behind him with a very strange gaze, and his eyes opened at that moment fully proved that he seemed to have seen something incredible, and he couldn't react for a while.

Sunset Kagome herself also failed to react, and in the next moment, she suddenly heard the sound of the wooden plank sealing the ancient well behind her, and her hair was suddenly blown by the strong air current, and then many hands grabbed her arms, shoulders and other parts at the same time.

In this way, she fell behind her without any resistance, and was grabbed by a huge force and dragged into the deep and dark ancient well.

Everything happened so suddenly, not only did her brother stand there stunned, but even she herself didn't even have time to scream.

Falling, falling, falling in endless darkness.

The depth of the well seemed strangely long, and Sunset Kagome could clearly see what was dragging her down, as if it were a woman...... No, it's a long centipede......

Or rather, a combination of the two.
