Chapter Seventy-Five: The Death Match for the Relic
Old Alam's hoarse voice echoed in the jungle, with a hint of regret and sadness of the last descendants, and the roaring fire next to him seemed to bring Fang Senyan back to the story of thousands of years ago.
"After a series of compromises and balances, the Sun Sect and the Ouroboros Sect have reached a balance, and the ritual used to inherit the power of the Sun Ladder has also been tried and tempered, and its process has become a fixed situation: the sacrificial ritual β receive the blessing of the Ouroboros God (that isβ, to be bitten by a snake), absorb the secret medicine mainly prepared from the grinding powder of the dry leaves of the Sun Ladderβ and soak it in the cave torrent where there is no light. In this way, even if the warrior fails to pass the test, he will die quietly under the effect of Ouroboros venom, and there will be no uncontrollable injury to people. β
When Fang Senyan heard this, it finally dawned on him that the progenitor virus hidden in the Sun Ladder had the property of strengthening and recombining biological genetic factors, but most of the creatures either died and could not adapt to its mutation and became terrifying and irrational monsters. As far as human beings are concerned, there is only one person in tens of millions of people who have the strength to withstand the virus! Even if the people of Dubai were physically better than modern people, the chances of success were pitiful.
The Ouroboros venom is basically similar to an industrial catalyst, which can significantly lubricate and neutralize the damage caused by the progenitor virus to the human body, so it can greatly increase the success rate. When this Ouroboros relic was taken away by Old Alam, the most crucial link was lost.
But the remaining Dubai subans don't know what a virus is, they have all been brainwashed by religion. They believe that piety can make up for all mistakes, and God will rule everything, so according to the custom, continue to hold the power bearing ceremony when the moon is full, but the result is conceivable, with a very low success rate, a large number of biochemical monsters are constantly being created.
Able to be chosen to withstand the power of the Sun Ladder. They are all the elite of the clan. When these elites are infected, they are turned into terrifying biochemical monsters to attack the inner Dubai subhumans. In the midst of this, the devout Dubaians saw it as a test of the sun god's wrath...... In addition, taking the powder of the Sun Ladder directly also has a small chance of successfully appearing as an individual, so the lucky ones who occasionally appear will be considered a blessing from the sun god!
As a result, the ritual will continue to be held as if the thirst is quenched, forming a vicious circle of "the tighter the pressure ahead", the more "the ceremony of bearing the strength must be held". If Fang Senyan does not appear in time, then it will not be long before everyone in the inner area of Dubai's sub-marsh will die under the siege of mutants.
This is the truth about the decay of the Dubai Ya clan after the old Alam and them left!
Of course. Gulga, the guys who suppressed the Progenitor virus and were able to successfully gain power from it, were naturally the ones who "changed" four years ago when Ouroboros was still around.
At this point, the last mystery in Fang Sen's heart has also been solved, and the history and ins and outs of the entire Dubai subhuman people are also clear. Fang Senyan looked at the sky, then nodded:
"I see, then, you're going to let me get the Ouroboros?"
Old Alam looked at Fang Senyan with an expectant look:
"Get this thing out of my way! The sooner the better, but ...... You have to remember. Don't use force, or it will drive me to attack you, and you won't be able to withstand my attack! β
Fang Senyan couldn't help but have a thick black thought in his heart, that is, to benefit from killing Old Alam, the descendant of the royal family of the Dubai Sub-Empire, but he quickly dispelled this idea. Because the space will inevitably take into account: the possibility of ruthless guys slaughtering the village as soon as they enter this world. Old Alam is tasked with continuing the royal bloodline and is able to escape from the interior of Dubai's sub-marsh. It is certain that the ancestral oil on the soles of the feet and the kung fu of concealing traces must be first-class, and if you want to kill it, don't think about it.
He observed the unremarkable little snake for a moment, then tentatively reached out his hand...... The holy object didn't react at all, looking at it like that, completely disdainful of him. That attitude of ignoring is like this guy doesn't deserve to waste his venom......... Fang Senyan had just tried to make physical contact such as stroking. ..., old Alam yelled to be careful, but his physical reaction was to pull it with a big mouth on his backhand. The Venus in front of Fang Senyan's eyes bubbled up/The nosebleed for a long time/The five finger prints on his face were extremely clear/The inside of his ears buzzed for a long time before he came back to his senses......
Fang Senyan finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help but scold, seeing that Old Alam looked over with an innocent look that resembled Ouyang Feng, who was a sausage mouth inside East to West, and could only sigh long.
After learning the lesson, Fang Senyan didn't dare to move his hands and feet easily, and after observing from a distance for a while, he still couldn't find the flaw, after all, he was just a sailor, not a zoologist, and it was impossible to know all the habits of snakes.
A thought suddenly popped up in Fang Senyan's mind:
"It's impossible that this snake only recognizes the bite of the Dubai subhumans! By the way, the old man in front of him only listened to the sacrificial process handed down by his ancestors, and did not see it with his own eyes, could it be that this damn snake will only bite people who have just been infected by the progenitor virus? β
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan took out the harvest he had previously made at the Sun Altar, and only then did Fang Senyan realize two very serious problems:
The first is that although he has torn off half of the tentacle tendrils of the Sun Ladder, the tendrils are still wrapped around the top of the seedlings, that is, if you want to take them, you have to take out the tendrils that the seedlings and the mother have broken.
The second is that the Dubai subans inhale the powder ground from the withered leaves of the solar ladder, but they directly collect the fresh ones, and according to normal botanical theory, the virus content in the withered leaves must be much less,..........
But now Fang Senyan can only be treated as a dead horse as a live horse, take one step at a time, he tried to take out the sun ladder seedling from the space, he didn't expect to see this seedling for a long time, it was actually very dishonest in the private space, you can see that its root system has densely grasped the meteorite fragment brought back by Fang Senyan, and it seems that it is already very fully absorbing the energy of the meteorite.
And the tentacles of the mother that wrapped around the seedling seemed to have been absorbed by the fierce ferocity of the seedling as nourishment.........
"What ....... do? Why don't you try to pick a leaf from a seedling first? Fang Senyan was thinking in his heart as he took out the seedling.
However, at the moment when Fang Senyan took out the Sun Ladder seedling and brought it to his hand, the Ouroboros, which was originally lazy, suddenly became refreshed and erected, swelled its head like an eyed snake, quickly spit out its red and forked tongue, and hissed threateningly!
What's even more mysterious is that the seedlings of the Sun Ladder also showed extremely aggressiveness, and suddenly jumped from Fang Senyan's hands to the ground, and the two tentacles-like rhizomes whipped in the air, half of its roots quickly penetrated into it after touching the ground, and the meteorite fragments surrounding the other half of the roots quickly disappeared and absorbed.
Fang Senyan clearly remembered that the leaves of the original mother body of the Sun Ladder were only five colors, but now the leaf color of this Sun Ladder seedling has reached seven colors! Now it seems that the Sun Ladder is a viviparous plant with very agile mobility, but it has a root system and is implanted in the soil, and it is difficult to determine whether it is a plant or an animal.
Suddenly, the gray shadow flashed, and the Ouroboros actually took the initiative to attack the descendant of the Sun Ladder! It bites down on the main stem of the descendant of the Sun Ladder in one bite!
In the face of the enemy's attack, the "sub-body" of the Sun Ladder was not to be outdone, and the two tentacle-like tendrils strangled the Ouroboros' body fiercely, pulling it violently, and secreted a powerful corrosive liquid like mercury, which corroded the snake's body to a sizzling sound, and the snake's skin was easily corroded, and even penetrated into the flesh and blood.
Obviously, the pain of plants is far lower than that of animals, and the progeny is still using its tentacles to constantly corrode and dissolve the enemy** At the same time, it is constantly absorbing the nutrient solution that has been corroded, and it is deep in the true meaning of war.
Because the stem of the "descendant" of the Sun Ladder is transparent because of its young size at this time, it can be clearly seen that from the two fangs of the Ouroboros, a trace of black liquid is constantly ejected and diffuses into the descendant, making the branches of the "descendant" of the Sun Ladder also begin to twitch!
The venom of the Ouroboros only has the effect of paralyzing and controlling people, but it is not fatal, but it is crookedly restraining the virus of the rare plant of the Sun Ladder! It's just that in the past thousands of years, the contest between the two was indirectly carried out in the body of the infected, but it was not as direct as the current direct virus and venom were in close combat! Such a result is bound to be a death match that can only be declared to end with the death of one party!
At this time, the two onlookers were stunned, Fang Senyan was most afraid that he would lose and lose himself, and he would not be able to get anything, and what Old Alam was most looking forward to was that the Ouroboros would die, and what he was most afraid of was that this guy would have a miserable victory, and then it was seriously injured and swam back to its body to suck the flesh essence Manhan to make up for it....... poor old Alam is only thirty now, and it looks like he is about the same as sixty, if he is given a "big supplement package" by it, then even if he doesn't die, he will have to lose half his life.
