Chapter 666: The Creatures (Part I)

Ye Ning's gaze slowly wandered around the surroundings, and the bottom of each transparent glass pillar was engraved with wonderful symbols. The symbols are as intricate as a labyrinth, deep and unique, and seem to contain endless information, making people incomprehensible and yet involuntarily falling into it.

The surrounding scene is as terrifying as a sci-fi scene, with transparent glass columns, a base full of strange symbols, and a column that houses all kinds of creatures, every detail strongly conveys the high-tech feeling of this alien laboratory. It feels like you're in the deep ocean of the future, and every picture in front of you is like an unsolved mystery.

The unevenly scaled pillars are like unique life cages, revealing the deep secrets of this world with their quiet and high-tech cold posture. As small as a three-year-old child, the cat curls up with its slender body, as large as a tree leaning quietly against a glass pillar, and a lifelike giant octopus.

What especially shocked Ye Ning's heart was that the octopus was actually someone he knew. On the Blue Star, that octopus sometimes helps them when humans fight, and sometimes attacks humans. Most importantly, he is the Star Soul's powerful assistant at the bottom of the sea.

Even in the end, in the battle, he was killed by the Overlord Bug and died, and its heroism and bravery are heart-wrenching. However, at this moment, it is sealed in this dreamlike glass pillar, which makes people unable to accept this heavy and helpless fate.

That tree, Ye Ning also knew, was the leader of the group of trees in the forest that Ye Ning had helped treat on the Western Continent. The middle of the trunk of the tree was inlaid with a human face. The face was very realistic, as if it had been carved into the trunk of a tree. Despite being only a face made of tree bark, it is almost indistinguishable from a living human.

Those eyes were closed, as if they were asleep, cut off from the outside world. However, the mouth was wide open, revealing sharp fangs, like the fangs of a beast. Deep in the mouth, the black core of the tree appears bottomless. This is the human-faced tree in the middle of the man-eating forest.

Ye Ning once wanted to destroy him, but because this tree was also a subordinate of the Star Soul, Ye Ning gave up this idea and could only help him heal. Ye Ning thought that this tree would be destroyed in the nuclear bomb that destroyed the Overlord Worm and burned to ashes, but he didn't expect it to appear here intact! Ye Ning was surprised. (See Chapter 589 for details.) )

The kitten, very small and cute, should have just been born for about a month. The fur has just grown and is a tanuki cat. Ye Ning looked at him and felt that this cat was very similar to the Dark Star Cat, and for a moment, he felt that this cat was the child of the Dark Star Cat. It's so similar!

As for the three-year-old child, Ye Ning hadn't seen it. Actually, Ye Ning had seen him. When Ye Ning and Yan Han entered Source City, at the foot of the dragon-shaped mountain, in the mine, the child was held by a mother who delivered food.

When the wind chasing horse came, after a strong light shone down, there were not many casualties, but the child was gone. Wang Shuwei's explanation for this is that the miracle has reappeared, and God has saved him! But at that time, Ye Ning and Yan Hanjun thought that someone was making trouble. In fact, it is, but aliens. (See Chapter 341 for details.) )

Ye Ning's gaze shuttled between the glass pillars, and he suddenly stopped breathing. In one of the pillars, he saw the killer of his father, the Dead-Dead Pig. It slumbers in a translucent liquid, floating silently as if it were an eternal sleeper. The beast that had been turned to ashes by his golden flame ability appeared here intact at this moment, causing the stability in his heart to collapse in an instant.

Memories come flooding back like a river. His father's dedication to the fulfillment of his faith, his death in a sneak attack in times of danger, and his golden flame that day, and yet watching the famous monster reborn before his eyes, his heart was filled with conflicts, pain and confusion.

At this time, Ye Ning thought about it carefully, his golden flames, including Jiang Kaixu's purple flames at that time, had only hit the Desperate Pig. They just watched the Desperate Pig disappear before their eyes, but they never saw the Desperate Pig turn to ashes! (See Chapter 542 for details.) )

At this moment, Ye Ning was surprised in his heart, and a few drops of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

Looking to the side, the Ao Bing and the owl were impressively visible. Although he didn't have much contact with Ao Bing, this creature that lost his life due to the poisonous rain of humans was also imprinted in his memory. Ye Ning felt a pain in his heart, it was a deep sorrow for the endless life. After all, he and Ao Bing are both people who work under Star Soul.

He looked at the illusory owl with a cold look in his eyes. His thoughts were like dust blown up by the wind, rolling in his mind, bringing deep shock and confusion. Why do these creatures, good or evil, survive or die, reappear in this exotic space full of technology?

Intense thoughts raced through him, and looking at the creatures he had once known made him suspicious. All the memories, all the feelings, at this moment, converged into a huge wave, surging into the depths of his heart.

Ye Ning's gaze moved again, and the corners of his eyes suddenly trembled slightly. A familiar figure poured into sight, it was his old friend and his comrade-in-arms - Ma Jiao.

Ma Jiao, the once heroic warrior, their most powerful ability of the year, was the star of hope in everyone's hearts. He stood there, expressionless, lying quietly in the translucent liquid, like a sleeping beast.

A big wave swelled in his heart in an instant. The image of Ma Jiao crossed his mind like a lightning bolt: his mighty posture, his lightning-like attack, the smile that made people seem to see hope. Another day, the demonic thundercloud erupted in the sky, and the human being became like mad dogs, slaughtering the people around them without reason, Ma Jiao stood up in the wind of blood and fire, and built a protective barrier for him and Ye Ning with his life.

He clearly remembered the moment when Ma Jiao was pierced through his chest by the demonic thundercloud, his eyes were still firm, and his body was still doing his best to protect them while his life was passing and he had no desire to live. (See Chapter 414 for details)

And at this moment, Ma Jiao's body was lying quietly in the glass pillar, as if it was eternally frozen at that moment. The bloody hole in his chest was still there, but the blood had clotted and was full of bright red flesh. Ye Ning looked at this scene, and his heart felt as if he had been slammed with a hammer, and a deep sense of pain arose.

"When you feel that the most meaningful things in your life are all denied, not recognized, and considered meaningless. You may understand my current state of mind. ”

The words that Ma Jiao had said were ringing in Ye Ning's ears at this moment. Ye Ning looked at Li Yishuang's corpse beside him, and couldn't help but sigh, what is the point of him being alive now? Saving this planet has become the last thought in Ye Ning's heart, if this fails, then Ye Ning's life is really meaningless.

If Ye Ning can survive.

Ye Ning's gaze changed direction again, and the next moment, the pupils in his eyes suddenly contracted. He saw the pine caterpillar bigger than an eight-story building, the monster that had brought untold fear and disaster to humanity.

He remembered the pine caterpillar vividly, it was like a demon crawling out of hell, with a heart that destroyed everything. Nothing that stood in its way, whether it was mountains or oceans, the lightning and thunder of the star souls, or even the nuclear weapons of the human race, could stop its progress. It is like the Grim Reaper, taking the life of every supernatural and plunging humanity into deep despair.

The picture of fighting with the pine caterpillar until the last moment, Ye Ning will never forget. As the frenzied explosions raged around him, his consciousness blurred, and all that was left in his ears was the echo of the explosion, and then darkness, and he never saw a pine caterpillar again.

And now, the terrible creature he thought was gone forever had reappeared before his eyes in such a way. Its body is enclosed in a pillar of glass, appearing quiet and silent. Looking at this scene, Ye Ning's mind echoed the scene of the fight with the pine caterpillar that day, the breath of death, the endless fear, once again set off waves in the depths of his heart.

If you can defeat this terrifying pine caterpillar and easily imprison it in a container, how strong are these aliens?

Ye Ning's gaze slid again, and he saw He Yulan's figure. She floated silently in the transparent liquid, like a sealed fairy, adding a touch of color to the cold laboratory.

The only remaining fragments of He Yulan's white dress scattered like fallen leaves on her proud figure, vaguely revealing her skin as white as snow. Her lovely face is extraordinarily innocent at the moment, like a sleeping beauty, bringing a strange beauty to the whole scene.

However, what is more important to Ye Ning is that He Yulan, who had done the final battle with him against the pine caterpillar, was quite surprised by his injury-free state at the moment. He clearly remembered how He Yulan had been hit by the pine caterpillar and bruised all over her body, those terrifying scars almost tore her into a blur of flesh and blood, and the scars and flowing blood all over her body made people shudder. And now it was presented to him unscathed.

This situation made Ye Ning's thoughts flutter, and he couldn't help but start thinking about the current situation reflected in all this. He Yulan's uninjured state, those living creatures, and this laboratory full of science and technology, they are all revealing an incredible truth to him. It's about life, it's about technology, it's about themselves, and the fate they face.
