It's raining.

Li Youqian looked up at the pitch-black sky, and the six-star candidates in the adjacent cells were also agitated because of the sudden rainfall, they had nowhere to hide, and they cursed and wanted to change to a covered cell, but their appeals did not get any response.

They, like inmates in other prisons, do not seem to have human rights.

In fact, he didn't know where he was.

Li Youqian only knew that they were escorted to a temple-like place, and all the cells were located in an open space inside the temple, without any supporting infrastructure other than iron cages, which looked like they had been built improvly.

One of the most conspicuous symbols was the stone carving of an ancient tree in the center of the clearing, and he speculated that the gods enshrined in the temple might be related to plants.

The jailers who guarded them here weren't humans, but man-eating plants they'd never seen before.

Li Youqian has been silently estimating the time in his heart.

He had been attacked in the middle of the night, and it was supposed to be dawn a long time ago, but since he had been here, the sky above his head had been shrouded in darkness, and even the light of the sun had been obscured, and he suspected that it seemed to be open-air, but there was a closed dome higher up.

Used for lighting are several burning oil lamps.

But...... What's going on with this sudden rain?

At first it was just a drizzle, but after only a few minutes, the rain grew to an incredible level, especially in some areas like someone with a bucket of water pouring it down.

"Why is this rain so salty?"

After a while, he heard complaints from an adjacent cell.

Li Youqian licked the back of his rain-soaked hand suspiciously, and he frowned almost at the same time.

It was indeed salty, not only could not quench his thirst, but also made him feel extremely uncomfortable, because in addition to the salty taste, the rain was mixed with this fishy smell from nowhere, which made him think of sipping seawater.

It didn't take long for the inmates in their cells to realize where the smell was coming from.

Someone was doused with the slime mixed in the rain, and just as he was scolding, a behemoth fell from the sky, and one of the cells was directly smashed open by the falling object, and when they stopped cursing and complaining, they looked closely, only to find that it was a huge tentacle that fell to the ground.

The tentacle seemed to have just been severed, and it writhed on the ground several times before it finally stopped.

For a moment, there was silence in the cell.

Everyone looked at the creacy from the sky with different expressions, and the shape of the tentacles reminded them of the king squid, a creature that the source said was a creature that dwelled the deep sea, and was said to have been attacked by a submarine that had suddenly lost contact with the coalition government a few years ago.

Through the severed tentacles, they could imagine how large the squid really was.

After the Third War, the deep sea became a forbidden area for humans, and every time they explored the deep sea ended in failure, a large number of dangerous mutated creatures appeared in the deep sea, and they are still difficult to adapt to the operation in the deep sea environment.

All kinds of signs made Li Youqian have a ridiculous idea - they were located in the deep sea, and those dangerous mutated creatures perched above their heads.

Immediately afterward, the door to the cell was opened.

The sudden drop of the tentacles opened the cage and sent the plant into a trembling state, and one of the alternates seized the opportunity to break out of the cell.

I can't stay here any longer.

Who knows what will fall from the sky in a moment. When the time comes, if it hits them directly, they will probably die in the most aggrieved way.

Also attracted by this heavy rain is the rescue team temporarily formed by Yueji.

δ's interfering psionic energy penetrated the layers of labyrinths and sensed strong psionic fluctuations in the rain.

This is no ordinary rainfall, it seems to be the product of a fierce fight.

"The location is in the southwest corner."

δ spoke, and it had a hunch that the temple was getting closer and closer to them, and the road ahead was becoming dangerous, and the number of man-eating plants had increased significantly, as if they were frightened, and they made a "hissing" sound uneasily.

Yueji took on the work of opening the way, and wherever Lei Ming went, a new road was opened up in the venue.

δ looked at the sight in front of him, and it was a path it had never envisioned.

It never imagined that it would one day cooperate with the rescuers, and the strong psionic fluctuations in the rain made it think otherwise.

Perhaps, those plants are not the only "gods" created by the aggregate of consciousness.

Where they have not yet explored, there may have been other similar existences long ago.

And this is also the situation of the "Emperor" at the moment, he has lost count of how many behemoths in the deep sea he killed in the dark, the prosthesis gave him the ability to breathe underwater, and the ability gave him the possibility to move freely in the deep sea, all of which seemed to be fate.

If any of them were missing, he would probably become the belly of these underwater creatures in an instant.

But......

Those eyes were still on him.

Each time he got closer to those eyes, the mutated creatures he encountered grew larger and larger.

The Emperor gradually realized that those eyes were far away from him than he had imagined, and that their true size ......

He dismissed the idea of continuing to think about it.

Because another mountain-like creature appeared in his field of vision.

He was ready to fight, but the next moment, the 'Emperor's' gaze was deflected.

After a trance, the darkness in front of me suddenly disappeared.

The sun had broken through the darkness, and he was walking through the clouds, with empty boats at his feet, and the seemingly insignificant First Zone, the temple floating over the entire First Zone in an eerie way, and he even wondered if what he had just experienced was a hallucination, if it weren't for the fishy smell that filled his body.

But what happened next didn't leave him long to be stunned.

The entire First District was in full view of him, and the "Emperor" naturally noticed the vision that the city was experiencing.

A steady stream of plants broke through the surface and climbed up every building, the magnificent buildings covered with plants as if parasitic, and the frenzied plants took over the city like living tentacles.

The "Emperor" wanted to throw himself into the battlefield, but found that his feet seemed to be sealed by some kind of force, and he, like this temple, was held in mid-air.

"Good work."

Not far away, Trian bowed to him heartily, "You've brought us enough nutrients, now it's time to rest for a while." ”
