The black-robed man listened without saying a word for a long time before he came up with a sentence, "What experiment?" In fact, the relevant information he collected also showed that there was extremely advanced biotechnology in the ancient city of Shaburi, but he didn't expect to see the results of this kind of biotechnology for the first time when he entered, and he was really frightened.

The old man coughed violently twice, his eyes were full of gloom, and there was fear in his eyes, "They are seeking a kind of immortality, in order to extend the life span of human beings as much as possible, they have exhausted all kinds of biological means, trying to combine with different bodies, in addition to the desire for the power of different life forms, they also want to obtain a longer life span through this combination." ”

Unfortunately, he became one of the victims, Ning Yun looked at Qiyue, and saw that she didn't stop herself, and she held back for a long time before she dared to speak, "Then they didn't succeed, your old man is 200 years old." Ning Yun's face was surprised, and it also contained envy or jealousy, but as soon as he thought of becoming like this in exchange for immortality, he couldn't help but violently deny the idea of immortality.

July sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "Immortality is certainly a good thing, but it is unacceptable to obtain the way of immortality in this way. A hundred years is enough, such as the morning dew, just seize the day. ”

The old man is getting weaker and weaker, and even if his life has been extended for more than a hundred years, there will be a moment of death.

"I was modified by them to experiment with xenografts, and they had had xenografts many years ago. But the half-human, half-Gu lifeform has a great flaw. In a word, it took him ten minutes to finish the narration, and the process of narration took a lot of effort.

Sure enough, there are still defects, there is a rejection reaction between different organisms, even the transplantation of organs between people has a great chance of rejection, let alone between people and centipedes. The success rate of organ transplants in modern society is low, and if there is no relative, the rejection reaction will be violent, and the recipient will have to take anti-rejection drugs for life. ”

"Repulsion?" The old man obviously didn't understand this modern medical term very well, he lived in a relatively long time, listened to it, and then shook his head, "I don't understand what the rejection you are talking about, the defect I refer to is the defect of reproduction, the life forms that are made into half-human and half-Gu cannot reproduce and reproduce, and they will perish after one generation." ”

July nodded in understanding, "You mean, the main purpose of making you like this is to solve the problem of their own reproduction?" "There is no doubt that the wizards of the Ancient City of Sand Burial are outstanding, and as things stand, they have solved this problem well.

However, since they were able to create this species, did there still exist human beings who could combine with other lifeforms, Ning Yun asked, "They should have performed many similar surgeries, such as combining with birds, tigers, and the like?" ”

The old man was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and swallowed on the spot, but it was undeniable that there should be, "I haven't gone out, I can combine with centipedes, even if there are other species combined, what's strange." Those freaks can't make anything. ”

July said: "In that case, we saw a lot of centipedes outside, and this breeding problem should have been solved by them?" ”

The old man said, "Yes, it was solved by them. "I have to marvel at the wizards here for the thorough study of living organisms and different species, "There is a very large female centipede in the cave, I don't know how that thing came about, she is quite old, and all the eggs were laid by this centipede." ”

His breath was getting fainter and weaker, and it was almost impossible to hear the sound of his breathing, and perhaps the last few minutes would be the end of the old man's life, and his emotions became extremely agitated, and he grabbed Qiyue's arm violently, and his mouth squirmed a few times, and his voice was like a mosquito's hiss.

The black-robed man quickly pressed the old man's hands, and the dagger was pressed against the other party's throat at the same time, and hurriedly said, "What do you want to do, send her away." Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, the dagger even made a slight blood mark on his throat, and roared: "Did you hear that? ”

July glared at the black-robed man, shook his head and signaled that he would be fine, "Don't worry, it's okay." He may have something to say. ”

After seeing July's ability, even he couldn't figure out the depth of this woman, and he thought that it would be impossible for a dying monster to do anything to her, so he restrained his anger, withdrew the dagger, and still paid attention to the movements of the old man on the earthen platform.

The old man's condition was obviously not going to last long, and it was undoubtedly tragic to think that his life had gone into danger, for the gold and silver treasures, and that he had encountered more miserable than his dead organs and companions in the mouths of strange creatures. July put his right hand up, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old man with sympathy and pity, "If you have anything to explain, we will try our best to do it for you." ”

"Pond..."

"State..."

"What?" His voice was low, and July could only hear two words with great effort, unable to understand what he was trying to say.

"He's talking about Tanzhou." A trace of disdain flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, it turned out to be an unpopular Tufuzi, and the characters of more than a hundred years ago could find here, which can be regarded as somewhat capable.

"Tanzhou, where are you?" In July, three steps do not go out of the boudoir, even if it is the name of the place in southern Yunnan, few people know it, let alone such a remote place.

The black-robed man patiently explained, "Tanzhou is an ancient place name in Hunan, roughly equivalent to the area around Changsha today. "That area is a well-known Tufuzi distribution center, and since ancient times, dozens of tomb robber gangs of all sizes have been entrenched.

After thinking about it, it's not right, most of them have the idea of hitting the ancient tombs of the Central Plains, more than a hundred years ago, even Lop Nur was the outside of the area in their mouth, how could they concentrate such a large-scale peripheral excavation, "You are from Meishanman?"

The old man's dead eyes finally had a few hints of brilliance, but he could only be excited in vain, unable to say a word.

"What is Meishanman?" Ning Yun asked.

"Meishanman is also called Changshaman. It is the territory of a feudal lord of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty, and the ethnic group slowly evolved from a small number of famous ethnic groups, and the main body is the modern Miao people. The black-robed man looked at Ning Yun and Qiyue with a little deep meaning, and the meaning was self-evident. The people who can find the ancient city of Shabu with clues naturally have an inseparable relationship with the Miao people.

After a little thought, July understood the meaning of his words, the old man was from the Miao tribe, so he was able to find here, only to see the old man on the earth platform nodded weakly and generously admitted.

"Returning to the roots, do you want us to send your body or ashes back to your hometown after you die?" The black-robed man was also in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, so he naturally understood the purpose of the old man in proposing this ancient place name when he was dying. However, he himself is a murderous man with an indifferent personality and a mustard who treats human life like a mustard, and he categorically will not do anything that has no interests.

The old man whimpered weakly, with a promise of hope in his eyes, he never went back when he was alive, and it was a comfort to be able to return to his homeland until he died.

July was just about to say yes when the black-robed man interrupted, "No, we can't go fast with a burden." Besides, it's a question of whether we can get out on our own. ”

July said anxiously: "Senior." "He is too cold-blooded and ruthless, does he not care about the emotions between people at all, even if they are strangers.

"Unless..."The black-robed man is good at observing words and feelings, and there is room for every word, he is bargaining, and the innocent temperament of July understands his old words and negotiations for a while.

The old man's eyes were about to jump out of his sockets, and his sluggish spirit was suddenly teased by him. I thought that there was no hope of returning to my hometown in this life, but now there is a ray of light, and it is shattered before dying.

"Unless you can come up with something worth exchanging. You are a tomb robber, and you should understand the principle of exchange of interests. We can't do things for you in vain. "At the moment, he is like a bargaining businessman. At the same time, he also understands the habits of the Tufuzi in that land. It is a group that gathers for profit and disperses for profit.

The old man is obviously in an extreme atmosphere, the three people in front of him are all his juniors according to their age, but now they are threatened by the calculations of this group of juniors, sighing at the impermanence of life and life, and trying to hold on to his last breath, "I... Underneath... There is an underground cavern. … topographic map. Yes, I can help you get out. But, but... You must take me with you. ”

"I... Don't want to... Dying... They will all die in the darkness of the earth... Dead in centipede's... In the lair. ”

The black-robed man didn't seem to be satisfied, in his opinion, the old man asked the three of them to take him out, and it was natural for him to provide a topographic map, and it couldn't be regarded as one of the conditions of exchange, "Hehe." He sneered twice, and was about to say something more.

July held the old man's hand tightly and said lonely: "He has passed away." "Those old and wrinkled hands are like the bark of a winter tree, with a cool and dead air. When he looked at it again, his eyes were dull, and his half-raised head hung down weakly, resting on the earthen platform, unwilling to die.

Ning Yun was also infected by this scene, and said sadly: "Perhaps, death is a relief for a person like him." ”

The man in the black robe did not have the slightest sadness, flowers blooming Xie Ben is the common sense of life, it is a stage that everyone must go through, and he has seen too many such pictures in his ruthless eyes. He hurriedly lifted the old man's body, and sure enough, he found the worn-out sheepskin under him. On the sheepskin is a hand-drawn topographical map of the nests, each of which is marked with the word "exit" on the periphery.
