The area of this chamber was larger than the previous three on the periphery, and as recorded in the previous recording of Purple Smoke, the chamber was densely covered with cocoons.

But unlike Ziyan's opinion, in Jiang Xiao's view, those things are not so much cocoons as capsules.

Although there are no traces of artificiality on its exterior, it is translucent, and it can be vaguely seen that it is filled with a yellowish liquid.

In those pale yellow liquids, there are faint human figures, but they can't see their physiognomy and facial features, and they can't even distinguish their gender.

It's just that in this cabin, there is no "chair" that Ziyan said.

"Keep going. Jiang Xiao looked around and said to Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu: "This is not the end yet. ”

In the next cabin, it was still the same. However, the size of the "capsule" seems to be slightly larger, and the liquid inside has turned light green. After walking through seven or eight cabins all the way, Jiang Xiao finally saw the room where Ziyan had entered.

Jiang Xiao carefully paid attention to the capsules stored in these cabins, and found that they could be divided into four categories, not only the size was slightly different, but the color of the liquid in them was also different. In descending order, it is light yellow, light green, light blue and light brown.

However, the number of "capsules" in this cabin is far less than that of the previous cabins, only a dozen or so, and the volume is far more than the capsules in the previous cabin, almost twice as much.

And the liquid in it is also a deep red that has never been seen before, and it is even so deep that it is impossible to see if there is a human body inside.

"Here...... That's the end. ”

Xinyun looked at the "chair" inside the room and muttered.

But it said it was a chair, but it was only slightly similar in appearance. Numerous tentacle-like nerve bundles grew from the ground, swirling and overlapping in the center of the chamber to form a seat.

And on that seat, countless nerve bundles were even squirming slightly.

"Good...... It's disgusting!" Zhao Tianyu looked at the "chair" with a distorted expression: "Let's say okay first, I won't touch that thing." If you want to sit, just sit with the two of you. ”

"I'll do it. Jiang Xiao looked at Xinyun beside him, and when he saw her nodding, he walked forward without hesitation.

The mystery of everything...... It's finally going to be revealed.

"Hey, Jiang Xiao!"

Just as Jiang Xiao was about to sit on the chair, Xinyun suddenly called him.

Jiang Xiao stood still and looked at him questioningly.

"You...... You won't make any decisions without permission......" Xinyun's face had a touch of melancholy.

Purple Smoke once said that what is hidden in the seed is not power, but a key to open the door to a new world.

But...... How terrifying was the "new world" that had once terrified it?

That could even make Ziyan, who had received the dean's seal, give up his loyalty and kept the information of the seed privately, and did not entrust it to Jiang Xiao until he died.

If...... Jiang Xiao was dazed for a moment, and chose to turn it on......

"Don't worry. ”

Jiang Xiao knew in his heart that Xinyun was worried about something, and showed a warm smile at her: "Trust me." ”

Then he turned around, sat down in the chair, and closed his eyes.

The countless nerve bundles that originally constituted the chair suddenly squirmed as soon as Jiang Xiao sat down, and several of them quickly pulled out and burrowed into Jiang Xiao's two ears.

Jiang Xiao's smiling expression only lasted for a few seconds, and then he closed his eyes and turned into a calm.

"He needs ...... How long will it take to wake up?"

Zhao Tianyu asked in a low voice to Xinyun beside him.

Xinyun thought for a moment: "In the recording left by Ziyan before, there was about ten minutes of silence from the time he sat on this chair. So...... Jiang Xiao's time should be about the same. ”

"Hmm......" Zhao Tianyu nodded, the look on his face was still uneasy and a little worried.

Time passed minute by minute, and although I tried my best to suppress it, the worry in my heart still appeared on my face.

"Already...... It's been ten minutes. Zhao Tianyu looked down at his watch and whispered.

"Wait a little longer. Xinyun didn't look up.

Ten minutes...... Fifteen minutes...... Twenty minutes......

After nearly half an hour, Jiang Xiao finally opened his eyes.

And his face was full of sorrow and loss. Other than that, it's all tiredness.

"How is it!" Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu hurriedly rushed forward, stretching out their hands nervously, but they didn't dare to touch Jiang Xiao's body.

"I ...... It's okay. Jiang Xiao shook his head, stood up from the nerve bundle, and shook his body slightly, as if he had lost his strength.

"Then why did it take so long! Didn't the purple smoke only take about ten minutes last time?" Zhao Tianyu carefully supported Jiang Xiao.

"Because...... Her rank is only a craftsman, so she doesn't have enough authority, and she can't receive as much information as I do, so naturally it won't take that long. Jiang Xiao stepped out of the chair with Zhao Tianyu's support: "Don't worry about me, it's just that the mental communication in a short period of time is too great, and I am a little tired, and I will be fine soon." ”

"Lack of permissions? do you mean...... Your rank is higher than that of a craftsman?" Xinyun looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise: "So...... Are you also a priest?!Are you fully awakened?!"

"No...... I'm not. Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Actually...... I don't know what I'm supposed to be now. One thing is certain, though, and that is – I am fully awake. And not now, but in ...... In Irkutsk, when it was merged by the burial of sin. In fact...... At that time, he was no longer a sinful burial. ”

"What the hell is going on! Tell me clearly, Jiang Xiao!" Xinyun heard it in a fog, couldn't figure it out, and pouted with a frown.

"Speaking of which...... It's too complicated. Jiang Xiao thought about it and smiled bitterly: "And now I have more important things to do." I have to ...... Let's go and resurrect Purple Smoke first. ”

"Ah...... Have you found a way to resurrect her?" Xinyun's eyes widened......, "Is it really possible?" Isn't it also ...... that the Ranched and the old Isaiah are there?"

"I'm sorry......" Jiang Xiao lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly: "Ziyan she...... It's not the same. Her rank ability is to manipulate the cells in her body, and it just so happened that before she died, some of the cells were attached to my body, so she could rely on those cells to rebuild her body. But the ram and the old Isaiah ......"

“...... I understand. Xinyun sighed softly and looked away.

She had already guessed that this would be the answer, but she was clinging to the last glimmer of hope. But now, the last glimmer of hope was also stifled by Jiang Xiao's answer.

"Let's talk as we go. Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at the 'capsules' around him, and casually picked up a direction and walked in a direction: "We have to find a living body tank loaded with the flesh of the craftsman, the pale green kind." I remember seeing each other on the way here. ”

"Craftsman?" Xinyun said curiously, "What do you mean...... Do the different colors mean that the flesh contained in them belongs to different ranks?"

"Yes. Jiang Xiao walked to the wall, and the passage automatically opened: "Light green is a commoner, light yellow is a craftsman, light blue is a warrior, and light brown is a priest." ”

"That'...... What about those?" Xin Yun looked at the larger, crimson liquid tanks behind her, "There are already four colors, corresponding to four ranks. Could it be ...... There are more than four ranks?"

"Hmm......" Jiang Xiao replied as he walked, "Indeed, there are not only four ranks. The living tank in the cabin is loaded with the fifth rank. ”

"That's ...... What? Why have I never heard of the existence of a fifth class?" Xinyun's eyes widened.

"Archon. ”

"Archon?"

Jiang Xiao nodded: "Yes, the highest rank." If I had to put it another way, it would be - leader. ”

"That'...... Then are you ......" Xinyun has already guessed the answer.

Why did I feel an inexplicable sense of closeness when I saw Jiang Xiao?

Why is Jiang Xiao obviously just a newcomer and a semi-awakened person, but everyone in this team, no matter what rank, has gradually become accustomed to having Jiang Xiao as the leader and obeying his orders?

Could it be that Jiang Xiao ...... The highest rank that has never appeared in any of the Awakened, Archon?

“...... No. Strictly speaking, I'm not. Unexpectedly, this question made Jiang Xiao hesitate for a long time before he shook his head and gave a negative answer.

"Then what are you!" asked Xinyun a little anxiously.

"This ...... It's just too complicated. You don't know the whole history of the Neanderthal ancestors, and it's hard to explain it to you in a sentence or two. Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "After the problem of purple smoke is solved, you can connect with the seed through the nerve bundle yourself." After that, it will be easier for me to explain to you what I am. ”

As they spoke, the three of them had already passed through two chambers and found one with a pale green trough of life.

"Purple Smoke...... I owe you that life...... I've given it back to you. ”

Jiang Xiao stood in front of a living trough, stretched out his hand and gently stroked its surface, and then on the ground under the feet of several people, a nerve bundle grew out without warning and rolled towards the living trough.

"After docking with the seeds, I have gained control rights because of the rank. Jiang Xiao explained lightly.

The nerve bundle swirled like a worm, stretching longer and longer, enveloping the bottom half of the organism's groove.

Jiang Xiao stretched out his right hand, and a moment later, a wriggling mass of flesh appeared in his palm, slightly changing shape.

"This ...... Is that the cell that purple smoke left in your body?" asked Xinyun curiously.

"Hmm. Jiang Xiao nodded, and brought his palm close to the nerve bundle. The nerve bundle lightly touched the cells of the purple smoke, and then wrapped it entirely, and lifted it towards the living groove.

The surface of the trough was originally hard and elastic, without the slightest crack. But somehow, when the nerve bundle and the purple smoke cells held at the tip touched the surface, they naturally penetrated into it.

And the light green liquid in it did not seep out at all.

When the nerve bundle was withdrawn again, the surface of the biotrough was still smooth and hard, without the slightest trace.

"That's it. Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "This situation ...... It's kind of similar to 'modulation', but because of the purple smoke native cells as the substrate, the time will be fast. It takes about half an hour to complete. ”

"Modulation?" asked Confusingly, "Is that...... What do you mean?"

“...... It's hard to explain......" Jiang Xiao turned his head and thought about it, and smiled bitterly: "Since you are so anxious to know...... Then it's better to take advantage of the current kung fu and you also dock with the seeds. Anyway, there is still about half an hour. ”

"Do you want to go back to the previous cabin?" Xinyun had just asked, when she saw that dense nerve bundles had once again stretched out from the ground, rapidly intertwining, forming the same seat as the cabin just now.

"In fact, inside the seed, there is no clear functional division of the cabin. After all, this is a living organism, so as long as you receive an order, you can grow the required organs in any part of the body. Jiang Xiao explained.

Xinyun just stepped forward and wanted to sit down on the seat, but her face suddenly changed, she turned her head and looked behind her: "Someone!"
