Chapter 1: The Deep Sea

Next Chapter

A huge system prompt sound sounded in Gu Xiao's ears.

[Welcome to the Lord of All, all humans between the ages of 12 and 60 of Bluestar.] 】

[In the 4.54 billion years of history of Blue Star, it has experienced the survival of the fittest, such as the Cambrian shrimp, the Ordovician hornstone, the Silurian horseshoe crab, the Triassic dinosaur, and even modern humans. 】

[In the competition for survival again and again, the adaptation is left, the unsuitable is eliminated, and the cruel law of the jungle fully demonstrates its universality. 】

[And now, once again, 'survival of the fittest' has come.] 】

[Humans, please try to survive in the world of the lords of the people, I hope you are adaptors, and I hope you can still be seen in the next era.] 】

Then, the louder system sound is replaced by a smaller mechanical system tone.

[Dear Lord Gu Xiao, your lord system is awakening......]

[The lord system has been awakened!] The Territory Crystal has arrived! 】

[The first wave of enemies will arrive in three days, please recruit your troops as soon as possible to defend against the enemy.] 】

[Each novice lord can choose to awaken his own talent, which can help the novice lord in the process of territory development. 】

The sound of the machine's voice waking up the sleeping boy, he opened his eyes slightly, his eyes that had been closed for a long time were suddenly stimulated by the bright light and narrowed slightly, and it took a while to adjust to the daylight before he could open them.

The boy looked to be about sixteen or seventeen on the outside, his figure was unhealthy and emaciated, his forearms were covered with bones and bare on his shirt, as if the wind could blow him down.

His face was also as pale as paper, with an unhealthy flush, like an Internet addict teenager who had not seen the sun for a long time, and suddenly walked into the sun.

And the most striking thing is the eyes on that pale face.

His left eye is fine, there is still a little human warmth, and under the subtle eye micro-expressions, it seems that this young man still looks like a living person.

But his right eye is so cold that it makes people palpitate, as if just one glance at it will suck the soul into the abyss, and the indifference makes people panic.

Suddenly arriving in a strange place, and hearing such shocking news, it took the boy a few seconds to react, to think about what a normal living person should look like.

"By the way, normal people would scream in panic."

Then he tried very hard to look frightened.

His skinny hands hugged him, and his body shook up and down regularly.

He also shouted: "Where is this, why did I suddenly come here?" I'm so scared! ”

But the tone was a cold machine like the sound of the system, and it didn't look like a sound that a living person could make.

From beginning to end, his heart beat at 60 beats per minute, neither fast nor slow, like a punctual clock adjusted by a sophisticated mechanical instrument.

I acted like I was scared for a while, and the boy seemed to be bored.

He lowered his hands and looked at the only seemingly man-made building nearby, the 'Territory Crystal' in the system prompt.

Seeing the appearance of the 'Territory Crystal', the young man fell into doubt.

"Normal crystals, they shouldn't look like this, right?"

In front of him was a pedestal made of flesh and blood, holding up a yellow vesicle.

But if you look closely, where is the pedestal, it is clearly stacked and entangled by countless human hands, monster tentacles, wriggling worms, and thousand-legged centipedes waving thin legs.

In that pedestal, an eye would open from time to time, with a black pupil in the white whites, and the ellipsoidal eyeball growing straight at the end of the tentacle. The eyeballs would still look at Gu Xiao, as if they had autonomous consciousness.

Gu Xiao tentatively wanted to approach the 'Territory Crystal', but found that a certain 'guest' had already completed this step for him.

A vulture, swooping down in the air, seemed to be attracted by the smell of blood emanating from the pedestal, and wanted to come down and feast on it.

It's indeed a feast, but it's a pity that it's not the vulture, but the 'harmless human and animal' flesh and blood base.

The vulture swooped down next to the pedestal and stopped.

The thin, barbed-like beak poked out like a frog's tongue, grabbed a worm from the base of flesh, and tried to pull it over and send it into the air.

The barbed beak did bite the worm with precision, but it never retracted.

It was as if the white and plump worm had been glued to the base of flesh by superglue, and no matter how hard the vulture tried, it couldn't pull it back.

The eyeball, which sometimes opened and sometimes closed, was also fully opened at this time, and the tentacles connecting the eyeball extended to the vulture's head.

Although the vulture's intelligence is not high, it also realizes that something is wrong.

It loosened its beak and wanted to spread its wings and fly away.

But it was too late.

Countless tentacles, worms, and swarms out, like a large net, firmly grasping the vulture. There was also a human arm that gripped the vulture's neck so tightly that it couldn't move its head.

The fully open eyeball came to the vulture's head, and the eyeball was aimed at the vulture's eyes.

Like a detector used to scan merchandise in a supermarket, the eyeball lit up with a flash of green light.

The green light was faint and mysterious, just like the phosphorus fire running out of the graveyard at night, which made Gu Xiao next to him feel chills in his heart.

The green light was aimed at the vulture's eyes.

Tick –

Gu Xiao seemed to hear the sound of a non-existent detector.

'No permissions, check failed. ’

The flickering green light immediately turned into a long-lasting red light, like a time bomb that counted down to 0, and the eyeballs exploded violently, turning into countless tiny tentacles of flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood in the sky thrust into the vulture's eyes, and then recoiled and recombined into a bloody eyeball.

At this time, only two bloody hollows remained, and viscous plasma dripped down the corners of the eyes.

Countless tentacles, worms, human arms shrank back, taking with them their trophiesβ€”the vulture.

The vultures were thus fused into the flesh pedestal, becoming part of the pedestal.

Gu Xiao watched as there was an extra bloody vulture head with both eyes on the pedestal, and together with the two stripped wings, it was forever combined with the pedestal.

Rao was Gu Xiao's indifferent character, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva at this time.

Is this really a 'Territory Crystal'? If I made it, would I become a human head on a pedestal?

He hesitated for a moment, but he could not make up his mind to approach the strange-looking, terrifying-looking, and extremely dangerous 'Territory Crystal'.

But suddenly there was a mechanical system prompt in my ears.

[There are 3 minutes left in the talent awakening time, please go to the territory crystal to awaken a random talent as soon as possible.] 】

This is forcing a hero to go to Liangshan!

There was no way, Gu Xiao had no choice but to lean over and aim his eyes at the half-closed and half-open eyeball.

The eyeball senses the object's approach and opens suddenly.

The flesh pedestal was once again as close as the vultures had approached before, spreading out into countless wriggling worms and thousand-legged centipedes crawling all over the ground, crawling onto Gu Xiao's body.

Gu Xiao's body trembled, feeling the tiny 'bugs' swimming around his body.

Those 'bugs' were not honest at all, one of them got into Gu Xiao's armpits, and the cold stimulated Gu Xiao's itchy flesh, making him want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Suddenly, there was a throbbing in the right eye, and a cold wave spread out from the right eye and spread throughout the body.

Gu Xiao only felt as if his body was soaked in ice water, and the coolness went up from the soles of his feet to the Tianling cover.

Suddenly, everything panicked, trembled, wanted to cry and wanted to laugh, all left him. All human emotions, the throbbing of the soul, were stripped from his body.

He was once again in that familiar state, and his whole being was dominated by reason, and there was not the slightest thought of joy or sorrow in his heart.

He entered the state he named 'The Deep'.
