The journey took longer than expected, and William started another topic in the car, a topic that the driver could not reveal directly.

"Do you have any speculations or conjectures about the 'malignant disease' corresponding to the Tenth Abyss?"

For this kind of question, Jin directly held his head in his hands and leaned back, "Isn't this kind of thing that requires reasoning and analysis your favorite, William?" I don't bother to think about it, it doesn't matter much to me anyway. ”

Although Jin refused to participate, the City Lord of Price, who was sitting opposite, looked serious,

"Hmm...... The abyssal effects described by the coachman are related to replication, and they are replicated for the most prominent characteristics of the individual. If my memory is correct, the mask that condensed on my face at that time was the basic unit of hair.

I can clearly feel the touch when I tear the mask, it is very similar to my hair, and even better in terms of 'rooting'.

In addition, the hairs reproduced from the abyss can coalesce into an absolute whole, and I would not have been able to tear it off with my strength if I hadn't disrupted the whole by burning off part of the mask by the moonspots. ”

"Replicating the most salient characteristics of an individual is not only a perfect replica or in some respects better, but also a holistic ...... Some kind of special replicating virus?

I don't know what kind of mask will appear in my "condensation". ”

After a brief conversation, William already had a general direction, and sat cross-legged, focusing on his state.

The abyssal matter that he indulged and wandered in his body had proliferated during this time, and could now be suppressed as the coachman said.

The abyssal substance is forced to flow out of the face and is condensed due to the inability to replicate normally in the body.

But...... William didn't do that,

His instincts told him not to limit the abyss too soon, and to be sure to indulge long enough for these things to know his body well.

He even made a bolder move to lift the 'umbilical cord' restriction on the neck and allow the abyssal substance to officially enter the brain area.

This approach woke up Yi Chen, who was sleeping in the aquarium, after all, the mad brain is the open source center, and if something goes wrong, it may leave permanent sequelae.

"William, you're getting crazier." Yi Chen's voice came out.

"Crazy? No...... This can only be called sane gambling at best, aren't we the Duke's customers? It's normal to take a gamble.

Besides, there is still a small grape in his head, and if the abyss virus wants to attack the epilepsy virus, it can light up the evil sun as soon as possible.

According to my inferences and feelings, the so-called "condensation" is by no means as simple as the driver said, or the driver deliberately has reservations to increase my failure rate.

"Condensation" is not just a simple suppression, if the abyss content in the body is not enough, the final mask will inevitably be impure, and even the most basic form construction will not be possible.

Since accepting the abyss must be accepted to the end, and even the flesh is reluctant to give, how can we talk about the pilgrimage?

That's why I made this gamble, using the flesh as a sacrifice and a container to maximize the abyssal material in it...... In particular, the torso representing the [new life] is definitely an excellent place to nourish the pathogens of the abyss.

When the abyssal pathogen in my body replicates and grows to the maximum, that is the best time for the condensation."

"William, you're getting better and better, call me again when it matters."

……

【Abysmer Settlement】

Centered on a strange tree that transcends conventional concepts, a large number of bungalows are built around,

There are a large number of black candles scattered among the settlements, so to speak, there is one candle in each bungalow,

The appearance and structure of the entire village are illuminated by dim light, and the number of tens of thousands of intricate bungalows almost forms a labyrinth structure, and if you want to reach the big tree area in the center, you have to bypass the lengthy bungalow area.

The carriage stopped at an entrance on the outskirts of the settlement.

William also saw the big tree in the center of the settlement at a glance,

"People?"

In William's eyes, the tree is more like a bloated, fat, and skin-like giant, and it can be clearly seen that a distorted head grows at the top.

Six pairs of thymus structures hang in the middle of the trunk and constantly flow out of pathogenic sap.

The branches are elongated versions of the arms, and the arms have been extensively reproduced to give them a leafy, flowering and fruitful appearance.

It's just that the fruit on it is not the tree itself, but is artificially hung up.

The 'treasure hunters' who come to the dark places to explore, as long as they do not choose to accept the abyss, end up hanging from it, and the 'rope' wrapped around the neck of the corpse is the capillaries between the arms, which replenish the nutrients for the tree.

The coachman also explained simply:

"Abyss Keeper - Black Treant. Lord Karimus, the most powerful visitor of all time, not only made it to the Final Pilgrimage, but even had a long exchange with the Abyss.

It is rumored that he voluntarily chose to serve the abyss and became a caretaker, and the [Pilgrimage Path] is under him......"

"Sure enough, it was transformed by the sick."

"Good luck, outsider~ I hope you can go far enough, and even complete the final tour, so that my commission will be high enough.

By the way, it is highly recommended that your friends set foot in the settlement, they do not accept that once you enter the abyss, you will be considered an "intruder", although you are very powerful, you will definitely not be able to stand the crowd here.

And Lord Karims is by no means easy to mess with.

Goodbye, brave outsider. ”

As the coachman left, William and the others stopped at the gate of the settlement.

"Okay, let's go our separate ways, thank you for accompanying me here.

If you still can't see me after the exploration, or if you need to evacuate in a crisis situation, just go to Rat City and wait for me.

If you wait too long, go about your business.

I'm bound to get out of the abyss, but I can't estimate how much time it will take. ”

Thirteen's little hands kept rubbing in front of her, and just as she wanted to say something, she was pulled away by Kim's arm,

"Alright, let's go! Don't grind around here, and don't bother William...... Right, William~ I can see that you can't wait to go to the depths, stop suppressing and pretending, and hurry up to the depths.

If you die here, I'll look down on you. ”

"Okay, I'll try not to die." William gave a gentlemanly salute to King and looked at the Lord of Rat City on the side, "Mr. Price, let's wait until I come out, and you must follow me to 'that place', where the best food in the whole Old World is served." ”

"Hmm."

William didn't stop any longer, turned his back and waved goodbye to everyone, and stepped into this settlement alone.

From the first walk, to jogging, to the final run...... As Kim said, he couldn't wait! Now that the existence of the Tenth Abyss has been verified, and the path and method to the Tenth Abyss have been determined, all that remains is to complete this journey.

He was desperate to see what his hidden path was like in the abyss, and he was eager to reach a higher level and return to Zion.

Ignoring the nameless abyssal people around him, William quickly circled to the center, to the Abyssal Warden, the Black Treant. Lord Karims in front of him.

A large number of abyssal people are kneeling in the [Big Tree Square] to pray for the abyss, trying to complete the "condensation" under the tree.

William found an empty area in the outermost circle, sat down on the ground, and joined it......
