Chapter 323: The Mother Tree
"What are you doing, come with me." A crisp voice interrupted Bai Xiaofei's thoughts, it was Xiaowei, she saw Bai Xiaofei suddenly stop and turn around to urge him, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly put away his thoughts and followed Xiaowei forward.
Xiao Wei took Bai Xiaofei through the streets, this dungeon is different from the human city plane spreadout, but a hole is connected to a hole, there are tunnels up and down, left and right, sometimes Bai Xiaofei has to jump straight down from a hole in the ground, and then there is a spider web below that will catch him, and sometimes he has to grab a vine of a plant corpse brother, like Tarzan of the apes, directly from one end of the cave to the other.
The intricacies of this dungeon made Bai Xiaofei more and more frightened, if the Yanhuang military came to attack, this complex terrain passage alone could make the soldiers dizzy, and only the corpse brothers, who could fly, jump and run, each with their own abilities, could come and go freely in this dungeon.
Bai Xiaofei quickly lost his way, and simply stopped secretly remembering the route in his heart, he was a road idiot, he would get lost when he walked on flat ground, not to mention that in this three-dimensional dungeon, he only knew that Xiaowei took himself deeper and deeper.
"Here we are." Xiaowei suddenly stood on her feet, Bai Xiaofei saw that there was a huge hole in front of her, and the one guarding the hole was a spider corpse brother who was bigger than the rockery in the park, and countless human faces appeared on the back of the spider corpse brother, men, women and children, or crying, laughing wildly, or pondering, and I don't know how many innocent people I have eaten.
The spider corpse brother crawled towards Xiaowei and Bai Xiaofei, and screamed in his mouth: "Stop!" Whoever is near, kill! A pair of blood-red compound eyes stared at Xiaowei and Bai Xiaofei, and the sharp arthropods were pulled, cutting deep grooves on the ground, it is conceivable that if this arthropod is stabbed on the body, it is easy to pierce the front and back eyes.
Xiaowei stopped: "It's me, I'll take a friend to see the mother's body." ”
The spider corpse brother glanced at Xiao Wei a few times: "I recognize you, you are under the orders of the lord, go in." She pulled her legs to the side, made way of the hole, and spat out a long spider silk from her mouth.
Xiao Wei stepped forward and grabbed the spider silk, and said to Bai Xiaofei: "Come on." Bai Xiaofei did not hesitate - follow Xiaowei to the most secret place in this corpse brother dungeon, what else is there to choose, he firmly believes that Xiaowei will not harm himself. If Xiaowei really wants to die by herself, she can kill herself directly, and she doesn't need to be so troublesome.
Bai Xiaofei stepped forward, held the spider silk, and casually hugged Xiaowei's waist, Xiaowei's body stiffened, but quickly softened, and leaned on Bai Xiaofei.
The spider silk slowly descended, Xiaowei and Bai Xiaofei fell into the depths of the cave, I don't know how long it took, Bai Xiaofei's feet shook and touched the ground, this is a huge cave, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to gather.
The walls of the cave were crawling with plants and vines that Bai Xiaofei had seen before, and sensing the intrusion of Xiaowei and Bai Xiaofei, countless vines flew over with the spikes above their heads, but before touching Xiaowei, they retracted again--- they sensed that Xiaowei was their own corpse.
Bai Xiaofei didn't care about the attack of the vine corpse brother, and he didn't even take some precautions, because he was stopped by an object in the hole.
It was a tree.
A tree is so big, the trunk is like a tall building, the crown is like a dark cloud, there are countless animals on the trunk, tigers, lions, eagles, snakes, rats, fish - all kinds of animals can see the figure, and then look at the canopy, only to find that every leaf and fruit on the crown is different, broad-leaved and needle-leaf, ferns and mosses grow together, there are bananas hanging next to apples, watermelons with potatoes on top, there are actually any plants.
This big tree is actually a collection of various animals and plants.
Bai Xiaofei was taking a closer look, the big tree was windless, revealing the middle of the trunk, Bai Xiaofei saw that the middle of the trunk was actually a naked female body, but in the blink of an eye, he found that the female body had become a man's body again.
Xiao Wei murmured beside her, "This is our Mother Tree, the most magical creation of the Lord. He used the genetic science he learned to collect all kinds of animals and plants, with the genes of human men and women as the main body, and integrated the genes of various animals and plants, and countless new types of corpse brothers were born from the mother. Now the animals and plants collected by the lord are not complete, and in the future, all the life forms on the earth can be gathered on the mother, and the genes of the living bodies will be combined, and the mother will give birth to the most perfect corpse brother. ”
Xiaowei raised her hand and pointed to the treetops: "Look, this is the mother's fetus." ”
Only then did Bai Xiaofei see that among the unusually huge treetops, there was a round sphere, which was faintly transparent, and he could see that something was moving inside.
"A new corpse brother is about to be born." There was a hint of excitement in Xiaowei's voice.
Sure enough, the sphere suddenly moved violently, and a vine connected to the sphere was like an umbilical cord, supplying blood-red liquid to the sphere, at this time, the vine automatically extended, and gently lowered the sphere to the ground, the vine automatically fell off, and the sphere rolled on the ground a few times and stopped.
Xiao Wei stepped forward, stretched out her hand like jade, and stroked the sphere: "Child, come out quickly, come to this new world." ”
With a thud, the sphere suddenly cracked, and a stream of green juice gushed out, and then an arm poked out of it, pulling and trying to get out of the sphere, but for some reason, no matter how hard the arm tried, it couldn't get out.
"Not good! This child is not fully developed! His strength is too weak! Xiaowei's voice was full of panic, and she hurriedly reached out and pulled the arm, trying to pull the corpse brother out of it.
Bai Xiaofei hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xiao Wei pull the skin of the sphere, and the tough skin of the sphere was broken open by Bai Xiaofei, and with a plop, a corpse brother baby was pulled out by Xiao Wei.
This is a two-headed, eight-limbed humanoid corpse brother baby, one in the front and one in the front, four legs and four arms on the front and rear torsos respectively, the corpse brother baby was held in Xiaowei's arms, humming softly, with four black eyes, looking at the world, and reaching out to touch Xiaohui's face under the mask of the black robe.
Suddenly, the corpse brother baby's whole body convulsed violently, and streams of fishy liquid spurted out of his mouth, and before Xiaowei could take any rescue measures, the body of the newborn corpse brother baby shrank sharply, and finally turned into a pile of carrion that could not be seen.
Xiao Wei held the body of the corpse brother baby, and a drop of liquid fell on the corpse brother baby's body, although Bai Xiaofei couldn't see Xiao Wei's face, she knew that she was crying, crying for this corpse brother and child who died early.
Bai Xiaofei sighed, stepped forward slowly, and said, "Xiaowei, don't be sad, this is just a corpse brother." ”
Xiaowei choked up: "I'm also a corpse brother." ”
The white boy was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say: "You are different from those corpse brothers, you--I believe you have never hurt anyone, but this corpse brother born from the mother tree, don't look at it small, but it feeds on people just as much, it is a demon, and if you die, you will die." ”
Xiaowei put the corpse of the corpse brother and baby on the ground, and the vines on the ground rolled over to wrap the corpse and disappeared under the ground. Xiao Wei shook her head: "No, Xiao Fei, these new generation of corpse brothers do not eat people indiscriminately, they combine the advantages of animals and plants, and can survive through guò photosynthesis, that is, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and eat and drink dew, unlike those early corpse brothers, they must devour other life forms in order to survive and evolve." ”
Bai Xiaofei was dumbfounded, he had heard Linglong say that because of the Immortal Master's unique prescription, the vast majority of the Yanhuang people had pre-taken medicine and had a certain immunity to the corpse brother virus, and now the corpse brother virus infection is not as rapid and unpredictable as in the early days, which is equivalent to cutting off the source of the corpse king's endless control of the corpse brother.
Although there are still some people who are unlucky, and if their immunity is not strong enough, they will become corpse brothers, but the number is relatively small, and the military can have a slight upper hand in fighting in various places.
However, the corpse king actually invented the mother tree, and without relying on infecting ordinary people, a new corpse brother can be born, which is a big trouble, looking at the huge volume of this mother tree, I don't know how many new generations of corpse brothers can be born every day.
Bai Xiaofei frowned, stared at the mother tree and said, "Xiaowei, what did you take me to see this mother tree for?" ”
Xiaowei said: "Since our lord was arrested, the mother tree has cut off the supply of the lord's breath, and has been in continuous weakness, in the past few days, no healthy baby has been born, just now the scene, you also saw it, if the lord does not come back, the mother tree will die." ”
Bai Xiaofei was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?" This bullshit parent tree is dead when it's dead, and I only care about you Xiaowei. Xiaowei, let's go, leave this corpse brother to go down, if you don't want to go to the island, then I'll take you to the mountains. By the way, didn't you always say that you wanted to go to Changbai Mountain to see the snow scene? I will take you to Changbai Mountain, build a small house by Tianchi, and live alone. The king and the corpse brother have nothing to do with us. ”
Xiao Wei hurriedly said: "But Xiao Fei, the new generation of corpse brother babies born from the mother tree will not be dangerous to humans, the lord said, in fact, corpse brothers and humans can coexist peacefully, and even corpse brothers can help Yan Huang to dominate the world, so that the world can achieve real and permanent peace." ”
Bai Xiaofei said disappreciably: "This corpse king is just a big talker, he himself has been resealed now, I heard that he is being tested every day, and he is also dominating the world, he really thinks it is the Warring States era more than 2,000 years ago?" Xiaowei, let's go. ”
Xiaowei hurriedly said: "Xiaofei, you don't understand!" If I don't rescue the Corpse King, I—I'll die like this Mother Tree!" ”
Bai Xiaofei was dumbfounded: "What did you say?" ”
Xiao Wei sighed: "Whether it is the mother tree or our corpse brother, they are all born according to the breath of the lord, with the lord's presence, we can survive, and when the lord is gone, we will become weaker and weaker, and finally wither and die like the mother tree." ”
