Chapter 637: Mutations and Mutations
The scenery near the ruins is good, which also makes Chu Ming's mood gradually improve. Lily and Chu Chu were by his side, which was also Chu Ming's most precious treasure. Even if that box was priceless, it would never be able to replace Lily and Miss Chu Chu in Chu Ming's heart. It's not a question of value, it's the difference between a priceless treasure and a valuable item, a world of difference.
However, when Chu Ming and the three of them were wandering around the ruins, they actually found a fourth person, and they were acquaintances. This person was also indifferent to the box. Therefore, Chu Ming couldn't help but step forward curiously.
"Mr. Hallbolin, aren't you majoring in psychic power?"
Chu Ming was very curious, Mr. Halbolin did not study the box, but was very interested in the surrounding environment, he was carefully observing this ruin, and from time to time he took out a notebook to record something.
Hearing Chu Ming's question, Mr. Halbolin didn't speak immediately, and didn't raise his head until he finished writing a full note and said, "I major in mental power, but my profession is a biologist. β
"What do you mean?" Chu Ming asked suspiciously: "Are these two related or conflicting, or do they have complementary effects?" β
"Neither." Mr. Hallbolin shook his head, his expression serious: "I think something is wrong. β
"What?!" Chu Ming was really surprised, he thought that Mr. Halbolin had some kind of feeling.
"Yes, something is really wrong." Mr. Halbolin nodded affirmatively, and he pointed to a bush of weeds at his feet and said, "Do you know what this is?" Phantom lichen. β
"Impossible, right? Is this a phantom lichen?! Chu Ming also knew about phantom lichen, because it was a common material in substitution. However, phantom lichens are lichen plants, not herbaceous plants.
"Yes, definitely." Mr. Halbolin nodded firmly, "That's why I'm surprised, this kind of mutation is rare, but I've just discovered that at least four plants and two animals are like this. β
"Is it the reason for this canyon?" Chu Ming thought of an answer.
"No, absolutely impossible. And, I'm talking about mutations. Not a mutation. The mutation is gradual. Mr. Hallbolin shook his head.
"I still don't get it. Can you be specific? Chu Ming asked, he actually had a guess in his heart, and this guess gradually had a clue.
Mr. Halbolin is indeed a teacher who teaches and educates, and his explanation is also very simple:
"Let's put it simply. Orcs going crazy is a mutation, and the growth of ordinary butterfly insects is a mutation. Mutations generally come from external interference, and mutations are often changes in the organism's own genes. β
Whether Mr. Hallbolin intentionally or unintentionally, his casual metaphor opens up a corner of a great mystery, but it is indeed more confusing to open the corner.
"Can you be more detailed?" Chu Ming asked very respectfully, he wanted to know the reason for the Dao. I wonder if this is a coincidence, or if it really contains the secret of the orcs' madness.
"Not for the time being, I have just discovered this problem, if you want to figure it out, you need systematic research and calculation."
Mr. Halbolin disappointed Chu Ming. After he finished speaking, he began to observe and record again. Presumably, this research and calculation process will not be too short.
"You don't hate books when you use them, right?" Lily chuckled softly.
"yes, I can't wait to be re-educated again at this time."
Chu Ming said with a sigh. Genetic knowledge is a huge subject, Chu Ming knows very little, and has never received systematic learning. Moreover, Chu Ming has been in a passive position during this ruin exploration, which is the situation that the martial artist who controls the flow dislikes the most. It feels like you're being led by the nose.
"You've done enough." Lily reassured.
Chu Ming had already taken out his strongest state, and of course he couldn't say that he didn't do his best. They've come this far, and there's no going back. At the very least, we must know if there is a legendary "necromancy" in that box.
"Brother, look!" Miss Chu Chu, who had been curiously looking at everything around her, suddenly pointed to a place. Said in surprise.
Following the direction of Miss Chu Chu's finger, Chu Ming and Lily saw a wide-bodied loach. The loach poked its head out of a small puddle, intently observing a passing lizard.
Observe? Observe!
Was the wide-bodied loach really observing? If so, what a weird thing it would be!
Chu Ming and Lily both had a feeling that their hairs stood on end, they glanced at each other, and exclaimed in unison:
"It's learning !!"
In the origin of species, the process of fish landing and becoming reptiles is quite long, however. This loach is likely to speed up this process tens of thousands of times. Because. It's learning.
But who is educating it? Is it God?
"God's Biosphere!" Chu Ming remembered a word that Mr. Halbolin had said, and this conjecture was actually reality. So. Did they trespass into God's forbidden land?
"Let's go! Get out of here! β
Lily was quite decisive. This matter is completely out of control, and the best way to do it is to flee far away and then try to do it slowly.
"Let's go! I'm going to call Elder Joshua Ben! β
Chu Ming didn't hesitate, but at the same time as he made his decision. Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers and screams in the distance......
Time back to half an hour ago. Simeon and Jeevjabginsky were rescued and healed of their injuries. Lily's hands are quite heavy, but they are mainly humiliated, and they are all traumatized.
But, surprisingly, Simeon and Jeevjabjinsky actually won enthusiastic support. This scene brought Elder Joshua to his senses.
This is not the contradiction between the Sisinar family and Chu Ming, but the contradiction between the old potential and the new potential force of the outer galaxy. The Sicinal family is good at observing the wind and represents the strength of the old brand. And the Boundless Cultivator and Chu Ming were only then legitimized with the new power.
At a time of human crisis, the contradiction between the two is not yet manifested. Once humanity has recovered its breath, the old forces will inevitably pursue their former interests.
It's not a business, it's not a win-win situation. So, these people's private conspiracies were kept secret from Elder Joshua Ben. Although the ruins were discovered by Elder Joshua Ben, these people still believe that they are the rightful owners.
"Grandma."
Although Nessy was young, she also saw a clue. He didn't know what would turn out of his way of being like this, and that a purely academic expedition would turn into a contest of interests. These people not only squeezed out the three of Miss Chu Chu, but now they are also taking the lead. Unceremoniously seized the box and didn't let them touch it at all.
"No wonder Mr. Hallbolin would rather study plants. It turns out that he is not stupid. Elder Joshua smiled wryly and touched Nessy's head.
"So what do we do? Are you just watching them take possession of that box?! Nessy was anxious and angry, his age was not enough to suppress the anger in his heart.
"It's okay." Elder Joshua Ben shook his head, "It's just a box, even if it's a necromancy." They thought that this was still the same world as before, but the world world was always changing, and it did not stop because of their immutability. β
"Butβ" Nessy was still unwilling, he hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma." Or let's go find Elder Catus......"
Nessy's plan was to borrow the strength of the military, and this time the Unbounded Cultivators had a deep connection with the militaries of various countries, and Elder Catus was highly praised. So, if Elder Catus comes forward. Most of the military will give face.
"No!!" Elder Joshua's expression suddenly became stern, she stared at her grandson, and said word by word, "Do you know what the Dao Boundless Cultivator has not been defeated? It's not how good we are, it's that we're more tolerant. The main meaning of 'unbounded' is inclusion. Elder Catus put aside his grudges and fought alongside Seyfried in the Substitute Union. Do you know how hard it is?
I don't even remember how many of Elder Catus's relatives and disciples died at the hands of the Wangwu Iron Guard. However, he still embraced it all. And then. What did Seyfried do?
He didn't seem to be doing anything, and the Wangwu Iron Guard would go around when he saw us. But do you know what that means? This represents shame. Wangwu Tiewei has realized their mistake, so they will be ashamed.
It's not that hard to kill a person. But it's too hard to change a person's mindset. You said. Was Elder Catus' tolerance weakness or wisdom? β
Nessy didn't expect her grandmother to be so stern that she was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out. Although he was still unwilling in his heart, he also understood his mistake. It's just that the young man's face is thin, and it's not good to admit his mistakes immediately, just like those Wangwu Iron Guards.
Elder Joshua Ben knew her grandson well, and she understood that Nessy's grievances were not unreasonable. So, softened the tone.
"Although the orcs are no longer worried, the insect tide is becoming less and less. But. The best humans understand. The crisis is not over. Do you know that while we were standing here, the members of the hemostatic team were still fighting against the insect tide. Along with them were our people, the people of the Substitute Alliance, and masters from various star fields.
They don't want to be heroes, but to sharpen themselves by fighting. Because, if they are not strong enough, they will not be able to get a ticket to the next fight. For the strong, the audience is a disgraceful character. β
"But, grandma, what's the crisis?" Suddenly hearing the secrets of the higher-ups, Nessy was a little excited, but he couldn't touch the context.
"I don't know, butβ" Elder Joshua looked in the direction of the box, his heart realizing.
She suddenly remembered that these people were all in charge of Elder Catus, and if there was a real crisis, these people would be the first witnesses. According to Elder Catus, the most touching thing is the lesson of blood.
"Nessie, quick, go find Uncle Chu Ming and them." Elder Joshua Ben was on the alert, and she urged Nessy, but just then, a change occurred......
"Ha Lu Ha, it's open!" Simeon's maniacal laughter rang out in the sky.
"Really! Let me see!!! Jeevjabginsky was so excited that his voice changed tone.
"What is this?"
"A smart brain."
"And a bottle."
ββ¦β¦β
Messy voices, shouts without a clue. These words were also tempting to Elder Joshua Ben, who hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look at the box.
Elder Joshua was hesitant about what to do because she didn't have an absolute sense of security. Chu Ming's behavior and later development made Elder Joshua Ben also lose his absolute sense of security, so the moment she turned her head and hesitated was vigilance.
Hesitation can save lives.
Poof-
Simeon got a headshot. It's not that someone murdered him, it's that he himself got a headshot. It's like a pressure cooker that's so stressed that it bursts on its own.
The red-and-white brains sprayed Jeev Jabginsky in the face, but he still looked at the box in a daze, and thenβ
Poof-
Jeevjabkinsky's brain also exploded, and the headless corpse slipped in front of the box. Like a foolish martyr.
Puff puff β
Bursts of rage and screams. At this time, it was also the moment when Elder Joshua Ben turned his head.
"Close your eyes! Nessy !! β
Elder Joshua Ben saw the box and its contents, but her vision was distracted by the headshot, and she hesitated for a moment.
"Grandma'!!"
Nessy screamed, and he noticed that his grandmother's eyes were red and half of their eyeballs bulged out. The clear blood vessels around the eye sockets appear densely on the entire face, looking indescribably hideous and terrifying.
"Close your eyes! Nessy !! β
Elder Joshua shouted as hard as he could, but Nessy was already stunned, looking at his grandmother stupidly, his hands and feet cold.
Elder Joshua Ben felt an unspeakable despair that no one could save her in this last moment, and Nessy would follow in his footsteps.
"I'm sorry."
A hand came out of thin air and slashed at Nessy's neck, and Nessy fell limply to the ground. Then the hand grabbed Elder Joshua Ben's head, and a tremendous force pressed against him, which was the power of the Templar.
Chu Ming grabbed Elder Joshua's head, and he used the power of the Holy Hall to suppress the chaotic energy in Elder Joshua's body. However, Chu Ming found that the effect was not good, Elder Joshua Ben's current state was very bad, as if he had self-detonated his spiritual power core, and he was unable to channel this powerful energy at all.
Fortunately, this moment of suppression gave Elder Joshua a glimmer of life.
"Don't let Lily and Chu Chu come over." Seeing that Nessy was fine, Elder Joshua Ben breathed a sigh of relief, and she hurriedly warned Chu Ming.
"It's good." Chu Ming turned around and shouted a few times in Lily's direction, and only after getting a response did he re-examine Elder Joshua's state.
"No more." Elder Joshua smiled hard, then nodded resolutely and said, "Left hand, there is the second core of my cultivation." β
"Let me try again." Chu Ming still wanted to do his best.
"No need, no time and no chance."
Elder Joshua nodded firmly. And Chu Ming no longer insisted. He slowly channeled the chaotic energy into Elder Joshua's left hand.
Poof-
Flesh and blood flying. Fortunately, it's not the head.
Elder Joshua sat down on the ground softly, and Chu Ming sprayed the hemostatic medicine onto her shoulder, and then used the quick-freezing solvent to freeze the wound. An implantable first aid capsule was then inserted into Elder Joshua's mouth.
The cardiotonic in the first aid capsule worked, and slowly, a trace of blood appeared on Elder Joshua's pale face.
"Let Lily and Miss Chu Chu come over, I have something to say to them." Elder Joshua Ben spoke slowly, "Be careful, you must close your eyes, or you will die." β
