Map of the Spider Star
At this time, Xu Guxin finally knew why Xu Yusheng trusted Gao Tianhu so much, the other party was able to come from thousands of miles away, just to say that I will take you home, such a leader is indeed trustworthy and worthy of making people pay for their lives.
"By the way, boss, I was able to survive thanks to the rescue of the Terran brothers on this planet, this is the Terran brother Xu Guxin who saved me." Xu Yusheng wiped away his tears and pointed at Xu Guxin and introduced.
"I am the Earth Human Race High Heavenly Tiger, thank you very much for saving my compatriots." Gao Tianhu saluted Xu Guxin and said with heartfelt gratitude.
"My name is Xu Guxin, the Terran vanguard captain of the Flame City of the Spider Planet, since everyone is a Terran, it is also appropriate to save it." Xu Guxin replied to Gao Tianhu.
"Boss, there's another group of mutant creatures coming up from all sides, we need to get out of here quickly." The Celestial Tiger headset received a report from the battleship.
"Let's talk in another place, those strange mutated creatures are here again." Gao Tianhu said to Xu Guxin.
"Then let's take you to our outpost for refuge first, and then I'll take you to meet the city lord of our Xu Guxin City in the evening." Xu Guxin said while leading the way.
"That's fine, but before that, I'll have my compatriots sent back for treatment." Gao Tianhu asked Merlin's team to return to the battleship to standby, and by the way, he took Xu Yusheng back to the battleship to treat the broken arm, and Merlin took the team and Xu Yusheng to take off and disappeared in midair.
"Brother Tianhu, why have they all disappeared? Is there a wormhole in the air? Xu Guxin asked as he looked at the disappearing mecha with wide eyes.
"It's just that you've entered my warship, and now you can take us to the outpost you just mentioned, and it's not appropriate to stay here for long." Gao Tianhu reminded, after all, the mutant creatures had begun to slowly surround them.
"Come with me!" Xu Guxin turned around and left with Gao Tianhu and the others, heading to the outpost of the Terrans in Flame City.
"We'll be safe here, and those mutated creatures won't be chasing after us." After entering the base, Xu Guxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, and then lifted his armor.
"Lonely man, what's going on with the creatures on this spider planet, it seems that they have all undergone strange mutations, and I just saw that some of the creatures have evolved into half-human forms." Gao Tianhu and the others also disarmed their own battle armor, but only the battle armor that only touched their own heads.
"I didn't expect the Tianhu brothers to look so young." Xu Guxin said in surprise after seeing Gao Tianhu's true appearance, he thought that Gao Tianlin would be a middle-aged man in his thirties like himself, but he didn't expect the object to look like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old person.
"Brother Lonely, this is a joke, according to the algorithm of our earth, I am twenty-six years old this year, and I am already a Ben San person." Gao Tianhu felt that he was not young anymore, and many years had passed since he had joined the battle.
"Let's talk about how those strange mutated creatures came to be!" Gao Tianhu changed the subject and said, I originally thought that this planet was full of enemies, but I didn't expect that there were still human races surviving, how did these people come to this planet, or did they come from the same place as the human race on the earth?
"That's because this group of creatures existed before our ancestors came to this planet, it is said that our ancestors said that when they first arrived at the Sky Spider Star, the Sky Spider clan here had just risen, and the technology was also very backward, and they were not our ancestors' opponents at all, and after a great purge, these Sky Spider people disappeared."
"Until seven hundred years ago, a large number of Spiders suddenly appeared from the other side of the sea, and they also possessed a large number of Terran technological weapons, and brought hundreds of millions of mutated creatures, among which the black humanoid creatures like this attack on you were the most appearing at that time, and then the Spider Planet was full of mutant creatures fighting with our Terrans, causing the living environment of our Terrans to get worse and worse." Hearing Gao Tianlin's answer, Xu Guxin didn't know how to continue, but fortunately, Gao Tianhu changed the topic in time.
"An ancient creature that has existed for so long, how could it evolve into a human form?" Gao Tianhu wondered again, after all, this is really too strange, if the final evolution of all intelligent beings is humanoid, does it mean that the human race is targeted by various races because the other party has not evolved before the human race.
"I don't know the specifics, but I just know that these creatures have only begun to evolve towards humans since humans arrived on the Spider Planet, but for thousands of years, I have not seen any kind of mutated creatures completely evolve into human appearances, more or less have some strange special diagnoses, the most powerful Spider Planet people are not as strong as our human race in terms of intelligence, but their reproductive ability is particularly strong." Xu Guxin shook his head and said, after all, he has been training continuously since he was sensible, so that he can be stronger, and the things about the creatures of the Sky Spider Planet are all told to him by his father, even if it is his father, he doesn't know much about these things.
"Didn't you think about killing all these xenomorphs?" Gao Tianhu asked curiously, but after asking, he found out what the problem was, if he could kill it, the human race here would not hide.
"Why didn't you think that at the beginning, all the Spider Planet Terrans went out together to fight with the Spider Planet and the non-mutated creatures, and many Terrans died in that battle, I thought that the mutated creatures had been killed, and the Spider Planet people disappeared again, but just a few decades later, more mutated creatures appeared, and there were also Spider Planet people who appeared together, and those Spider Planet people who appeared later were stronger and smarter each time, resulting in more and more losses for our Terrans in the follow-up war."
Hearing this, Gao Tianhu frowned, since those mutated creatures and Sky Spider Star people were so powerful: "Then how did you survive." ”
"It's strange to say this, there are only a few landmasses on the Spider Planet that the mutated creatures of the Spider Planet will never set foot into, and the Spider Planet people will not take the initiative to attack our city, so our predecessors settled on those continents, and then their ancestors have survived for generations."
"It's really strange, is there anything in these continents or underground that these mutated creatures are afraid of?" After hearing this, Gao Tianhu was even more puzzled, this is not like something that makes the creatures of the Spider Planet afraid, but more like a thing that once existed on the ground, raising Gu, it is said that some Gu makers emphasize that poisonous insects must be gathered on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (that is, the Dragon Boat Festival), which is influenced by the traditional concept that the poisonous gas is the most prosperous on May 5th. "Gu, more than the Dragon Boat Festival, take advantage of the Yang Qi when it is extremely prosperous, it is used to make medicines, so that it can cause people to get sick and die." Again: "It is mostly made of snakes, insects, and centipedes, and if it cannot be rescued, it can be killed with one touch." ”
The method of raising Gu in the legend is similar to that of the previous two years in the "General Chronicles". It is recorded in the General Chronicles. A hundred kinds of insects were to be used, but only twelve were needed. Before raising Gu, the main hall should be cleaned, the whole family should take a bath, sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral gods, and pray silently to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Then in the center of the main hall, dig a big pit, bury a large vat down, the vat should choose a small mouth and a large belly, so that it is easy to cover. And the smaller the mouth, the less you can see what is going on in the tank, the more likely it is for people to be horrified of what is in the tank, and to be in awe of the horror. The mouth of the jar must be as flat as the earth. Wait until the fifth day of the fifth month of the summer calendar (Duanyang), go to the field to catch twelve kinds of reptiles at will and come back and ask E if the reptiles caught that day in Duanyang can be raised Gu), put them in the tank, and then cover the lid. These reptiles are usually poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, large green caterpillars, praying mantises, ...... In short, there are no flying creatures, and no four-legged running creatures, just some poisonous reptiles. After these twelve reptiles were put into the tank, the owner prayed once every night after falling asleep, and once a day before people got up. Pray for a year, not for a day. Moreover, when cultivating Gu and praying, it must not be known to outsiders. If outsiders know about it, the Gu raised by himself will be collected by the wizard with a demon method and used by the wizard, and the owner will die as a family. Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, after becoming a Gu, it will harm the master. During the year, those reptiles devour each other in the tank, the poisonous ones eat the less poisonous ones, the strong ones eat the weak ones, and finally only one remains, and after this reptile eats the other eleven, it also changes its shape and color. According to the legend there are many kinds. There are two main ones: one is called "Dragon Gu", which is similar in form to dragons, and is about the result of long reptiles such as poisonous snakes and centipedes. One is called "Qilin Gu", which is similar in shape to & , and is about the result of short-bodied reptiles such as frogs and lizards.
After a year after the Gu had been cultivated, the master dug out the jar and hid it in a secret room with no air and no light. It is said that the things that Gu likes to eat are scrambled eggs with lard, rice and the like, after three or four years of raising, the Gu is about a zhang long, and the owner chooses an auspicious day to open the cylinder head and let the Gu fly out by itself. After Gu leaves home, he can sometimes turn into a ball of fire, hovering in the woods in the mountains, and sometimes he can turn into a black shadow and go back and forth between the houses in the village. The time when Gu's magic power is at its most is dusk. Every time Gu goes home, he still lives in the tank. On the day when it eats a person, the owner does not have to feed it. It is said that the benefit of raising Gu is not that Gu directly steals treasures outside like thieves and comes back for the owner's use, but to borrow the aura of the Gu to make everything that the Gu raiser do smoothly. If the master wants to do business, borrowing the aura of the heavy Gu, he can make a lot of profits. If the master wants to be promoted, with the help of Gu's aura, he can go straight to the clouds. On the other hand, if you are accidentally and the victim of Gu knows about it, and you invite a special wizard to take the Gu away, the owner of the Gu will do everything and the whole family will die.
In addition to serving devotedly every day, the Gu cultivators have to make a grand sacrifice to the Gu on the 24th day of June in the summer calendar every year. This ritual lasts for three days, that is, on the 24th, 25th, and 26th, during these three days, the master should cook a fresh pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day, and when the stars are in the sky at night, the whole family will move the pigs, sheep and chickens into the secret room where the Gu is raised, and prostrate and pray, and after the prayer is completed, the pigs, sheep and chickens will be chopped up and thrown into the tank. It is said that Gu eats a lot of food and has a high magic power. During the festival, outsiders are not allowed to participate, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise there is a danger to the life of the family. In addition to the method of polyinsect biting each other, various special poisonous Gu have special manufacturing methods.
According to the literature on the earth, some people have systematically analyzed the Gu into cat Gu and spider Gu, and the types of Gu are divided into: snake Gu, golden silkworm Gu, Nanpian Gu, stone Gu, loach Gu, medium harm Gu, Cuo Gu, swollen Gu, crazy Gu, Yin snake Gu, raw snake Gu, etc.
Gao Tianhu suspected that this was the so-called Sky Spider Star Man, or some other alien race, where the Terran and mutated creatures were raising Gu.
"We were suspicious at the beginning, and then we searched every corner and didn't find anything strange to make this group of creatures afraid, not to mention creatures or things that scared each other, not even ordinary creatures." Xu Guxin found a recliner and said helplessly after lying down.
After listening to Xu Guxin's answer, Gao Tianhu's heart was even more certain of one thing, the creatures on this Sky Spider Planet had a high level of intelligence, and they actually played with the human race and other races in the palm of their hands: "Maybe they are not afraid of something, but what are they waiting for?" ”
"What are you waiting for? Brother Tianhu, how can you say this. Xu Guxin felt that Gao Tianlin was much younger than himself, so he still asked his brother to be smooth.
"There is a group of people on our earth, and there is a common Gu cultivation technique in their group, which is to put a group of insects into a container and let them kill each other, and then the remaining insect is Gu, and now the Sky Spider Planet is like a container, and you and the creatures of the Sky Spider Planet are like Gu worms that have been raised." Although Gao Tianhu told Xu Guxin about the methods and types of various Gu control methods again.
"Brother Celestial Tiger, are you saying that someone is manipulating all this? And our human race and those mutated creatures are actually deliberately controlled by the other party to the current situation? Xu Guxin suddenly jumped up from his chair and asked, if it was really like what Gao Tianhu said, it would be too terrifying, he had lived for so many years, and he had been being watched all the time.
"It's very likely that the controller is not an alien race, but..."Gao Tianhu didn't continue, after all, this is really too, is it very that mutated creatures or alien races actually know how to raise Gu.
"It's our Terran people, it seems that grandpa was right about what he said before he died." Xu Guxin sat on the ground.
"Deathbed words?" Gao Tianhu asked curiously, was it not only he who had discovered this.
"Before my grandfather died, he once talked to me, he asked me to take my family to find a chance to escape from the Spider Planet, and told me that everything in the Spider Star is a conspiracy, and it is all the conspiracy of that mysterious person."
"How did your grandfather know that this was a conspiracy, and who was the mysterious man? Is it one of your people? ”
"Brother Tianhu, you may not know much when you first arrived on Earth, a large number of soldiers will die in every battle we fight with those mutant creatures, and the corpses of the clansmen who die in each battle will be dragged away by the mutant creatures, in a battle many years ago, my grandfather was knocked out by a cannonball in the battle, but he did not die, and was later taken away by the mutant creatures, after which he was sent to a strange cave lair, where he saw a strange mysterious person sucking the brains of the human race, and is gradually evolving into a more powerful speciesLater, my grandfather escaped, but everyone didn't believe it, thinking that my grandfather was scared crazy, and now I know, what my grandfather saw at the beginning was true. Xu Guxin said helplessly.
"Then it seems to make sense, I guess it should be a human who discovered some kind of evil magic, and the guy who wants to obtain a powerful body or eternal life life is sucking the brain marrow of the human race, and then he has carried out a Gu cultivation plan for you, and selected the brain marrow of the last powerful human race among you to suck it, so as to achieve the final evolution, which is why he didn't let those deviant creatures attack your human territory." Gao Tianhu frowned and said, If it is really a very frightening thing.
"In this way, isn't the human race on the Sky Spider Star being captive?" Everyone present listened to Gao Tianhu's explanation, and they were all terrified, they didn't expect that the primate human race would be reduced to a captive pet.
"I don't want to admit it, but if I'm right, it's so." The High Heavenly Tiger shrugged and replied.
"Damn, I must slaughter this mysterious guy and avenge the dead people." Xu Guxin thought of those clansmen who were captured, and he was angry that he would even be sucked into his brain after death.
"Don't worry, lonely man, this mysterious man must be eliminated, but the primary purpose now is to find his lair, as long as I find their lair, I will have a way to do something with this mysterious guy." Gao Tianhu said very confidently that there were not many other things on his battleship, but there were many weapons of all kinds.
"I can know this, my grandfather gave me a map, which is the route map of his escape from the lair, if I follow that map, I should be able to find the lair of the mysterious man, but I can't be 100% sure that this map can really find the exact location." Xu Guxin suddenly said in surprise, this map, I wanted to leave it as a thought, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Gao Tianhu took the map in Xu Guxin's hand and observed it for a while, shook his head and said: "Brother Lonely, this map has no other reference at all except for a mysterious base camp base and a nest of mutated creatures, and even our current location is not known anywhere on the map, and the other routes are all zigzag lines, and you can't see anything at all." Gao Tianhu said helplessly, this map is like a primary school student drawing, except for rough lines, there is no topographic features at all, which makes Gao Tianhu how to find a route, according to his own conjecture, even if the person who drew this map himself to see, should not be able to understand this map.
"It would be nice to be able to observe it from above, my grandfather must have memorized the characteristics when he ran for his life, and if he could observe it from the air, I might be able to find out how to take this route." Xu Guxin just wanted to put away the map, but was stopped by Gao Tianhu.
Gao Tianhu looked at Xu Guxin and asked, "You said that if you can observe from a high place, you will be able to recognize the route on the map and where the final destination is, right?" ”
"Of course, my grandfather has been telling me about this since I was a child, and I can now completely memorize all the mountains, lakes, and forests on the road." Xu Guxin said with confidence, but he has listened to his grandfather for twenty years, and his ears are about to grind out, so he can find out where the route is even if he doesn't look at this map.
"You wait here for a while, and I'll arrange this matter." Gao Tianhu hurriedly got up and contacted Ishihara Ai in the battleship.
"Xiao Ai, you now send out all the miniature detection scanners to scan the floor plan of the area centered on my current position and a diameter of 1,000 kilometers, and then pass it to me, how long will it take?"
Ishihara, who was sitting in the command position eating ice cream, smacked his lips and said: "Boss, this is a big project, it will take at least two or three days, and if there is no accident, if there is any emergency, it may take a week to complete." ”
"Then I'll give you a week, and I'll be of great use if you're done exploring and transmit it to me." After Gao Tianhu finished speaking, he hung up the terminal.
"That's it, in a week's time, we'll have a full map of the area here."
"Boss, that... That.." Luo Liansheng raised his hand and said stumblingly.
"Say whatever you want, stammer." Gao Tianhu looked at the stammering Luo Liansheng and smiled.
"We have most of the holograms of the surface of the planet Spider."
"What? Do you have? Gao Tianhu and Xu Guxin roared at the same time.
"Yes.. Yes, it was night when I first entered this planet, so there was no attack at that time, so Captain Xu took our team to scan the holograms of the continent of the Spider Planet, and then recorded it. Luo Liansheng said with a wincing.
"Damn, then you didn't say it earlier, what are you doing here, I can still eat you! Hurry up and take it out. Gao Tianhu laughed.
"Yes!" Luo Liansheng took out a light and shadow and projected it together, and a huge hologram of the surface of the various continents of the Spider Planet appeared in the entire room.
"Lonely man, what are you waiting for, come on, show." Gao Tianhu said, pointing to the hologram.
"Give me some time, I'll definitely find it out for you." Xu Guxin took the map and began to search for it against the map of the hologram one by one.
