Chapter 133: The Tyrant (Part II)
As soon as everyone entered the cave, they didn't take a few steps before the terrain began to slope downward, gradually spreading deeper into the ground.
Then it went dark and suddenly fell into darkness.
Everyone is a person who has achieved cultivation, and they can see things at night, and this little darkness can't be an obstacle of course. It was only a few moments before everyone got used to the darkness inside the cave.
With the faint light of Lin Xuanran's fingertips, Nangong also looked at the surrounding environment.
It's very different from what it looks like outside the cave.
From the outside of the cave, you can only see one mountain, the wall is steep, there is a cave at the bottom of the wall, and that's it.
At this time, when he went deep into the cave, Nangong found that this was actually a crypt buried deep underground. The cave was dark, and countless burned torches were still inserted in the two walls, spreading all the way down the passage.
There are countless passages in the cave, extending in all directions, not going far, there are several forks in front of you, and the forks and then the forks are dense, and it seems to be endless.
As soon as ordinary people come in, I'm afraid they will immediately lose their way.
This situation made Nangong suddenly think of some records in the classics: Dwarf Mine Cave.
According to the classics, the dwarves are the most intelligent race in the world, but at the same time, they are also the most mining race in the world. Just as humans are the best at learning and innovating, the Feather are good at manipulating air currents, the elves are good at communicating with plants, and the Naga are the overlords of the water......
Dwarves also have a talent that other races don't have, and that is mining. They can always find valuable veins in places that other races look like a wasteland, and mine them.
Gold, silver. and even more valuable gems, etc., these are just idle things for the dwarves.
And things like Mithril, Gold Essence, Spirit Stones, etc., are valuable treasures for cultivators.
It is said that the golem is unique to the dwarves. The energy used is also a type of energy they mine called "magic stones".
The development and utilization of magic stones is also an important part of "dwarf engineering".
After the vein is mined, it is inevitable that the ore will be left behind. However, the cave that Nangong saw in front of him was clearly exactly the same as the mining cave dug by the dwarven clan recorded in the classics.
"Could it be...... Before the Great War of the Gods and the Split of Heaven and Earth, this was once a place inhabited by dwar......ves? That history is so ancient that it can't be studied!"
Such a thought suddenly rose in Nangong's heart.
It is understandable that he thinks so. There is no other reason, and the characteristics are too similar.
“...... This corpse nest is actually a mine. According to the records of the classics of my Five Witch Sect. Tens of thousands of years ago, before the division of heaven and earth, this was once a place inhabited by a dwarven tribe......"
At this time, Su Manman suddenly said a word, confirming Nangong's guess.
She was familiar with this mine, and directly crossed Nangong, walked to the front to lead the way, and then said as she walked: "However, these are ancient histories. Can't be sophisticated. The mine is extremely deep, leading to the abyss in the center of the earth, and after the Wolf Tooth Army occupies this mine, it is only a part of it. ”
She laughed to herself. "It's more accurate to borrow than to occupy...... So far, even we haven't been able to figure out how deep the mine is and how many forks it has...... Even. I don't know how many unknown creatures are still in the depths of the earth. ”
"You mean...... And?" Nangong couldn't help but ask, he noticed some details in her words.
"Well, yes. Sumanman replied.
"Unknown creature?" Nangong asked again.
"Yes. Unknown creature. Su Manman replied, and emphasized: "Including the tyrant's ontology." ”
“......”
Nangong was silent for a moment, then nodded. Suddenly remembering that he was already behind Su Manman, he nodded and the other party couldn't see it at all, so he spoke again: "Miss Su, you go on." ”
"From the beginning, that's a long story......"
Su Manman suddenly sighed: "In this mine, there is not a dead land, but some underground creatures. Perhaps because they have lived underground for many years, the appearance of these creatures is different from what is common on the ground. You saw that earthworm-like monster just now......"
She is talking about the huge earthworm when the old flower demon fought the poisonous corpse group, with a body of more than ten zhang, the three of them hugged half thick, no eyes, but there is a very terrifying mouthpiece like a man-eating flower - this kind of earthworm once brought some small trouble to the old flower demon, so Nangong was quite impressed by it.
Nangong then hummed and expressed understanding.
"That earthworm is just one of them, there are many similar monsters like this, like mutated wolves, lions, leopards, many ......"
Su Manman paused for a moment, then continued: "But the most important thing is a bug. ”
"Bugs?"
"Well, yes, bugs!"
Su Manman nodded and said, "On the body of these mutant creatures...... To be precise, in their bodies, in the bodies of mutant creatures, all of them are inhabited by such bugs. ”
Actually, it's not quite accurate to say that it is residential. Because as soon as it is taken out, those mutated creatures will die quickly, and the bug itself will burrow into the body of another mutated creature, and that mutated creature will mutate again, becoming more fierce and powerful...... It's like ......"
She weighed her words, but couldn't find the right description for a moment.
Nangong is also short of words, and he has never even heard of such a strange situation. At this time, Lin Xuanran, who was walking last, suddenly spoke up and said, "Parasitic." ”
"Parasitic...... Parasitism...... Living and living ......" Su Manman read it a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, it's parasitic!"
"It's just a title, don't get too tangled. Let's get down to business, Sumanman. Shao Jiyi suddenly reminded.
"Ahem...... All right. ”
In the dark, Su Manman couldn't help blushing, but fortunately she walked in the front, but no one noticed it, coughed dryly, and continued: "...... At that time, after the military advisor arrested me here, what she asked me to do was to catch that kind of insect from the bodies of these mutated creatures, and then use the Gu refining method recorded in the "Five Poisons Sutra" to refine an even more powerful insect to ......."
"Then put these worms that have been refined by Gu magic, that is, Gu worms, into the body of the mutated creature, make it mutate, and then control it with Gu magic and turn it into their own use. At first it was a mutated creature, then it was the turn of a creature on the ground, and then it was ......"
At this point, she suddenly stopped and didn't say any more.
"Later, you started using corpses...... After the corpse is not satisfied, it becomes a living person, right?" Nangong said silently.
“...... Well. Su Manman was silent for a while before replying softly.
"Mr. Murong ...... That's what he was born out of, right?"
"Yes......" Sumanman sighed.
“......”
Hearing Su Manman's answer, Nangong fell silent and sighed silently. As if feeling the heaviness of his heart, everyone also spoke for a while.
There was a moment of silence. (To be continued......)
