Chapter 124: Enter the Temple
"How many beats per minute?"
"It's estimated to be more than two hundred."
A brief inquiry yielded an unusually dangerous value, and that maintaining this rate for a long time can lead to myocardial avascular necrosis.
"Count other people's heart rates."
Bai Ning didn't think that Jiang Yingxue's abnormality was just a special case, so he asked him to convey it, after Ivan's rough touch, her heartbeat was abnormally faster a lot, but she was the only one who was about to become Jiang Yingxue.
There is another exception, that is, Aaron's heartbeat has not changed.
Ah Long, Jiang Yingxue, Bai Ning, all three of them have experienced the Soul Temple, but the appearance of the three of them is completely different, is it because the management core has completely different judgments of the three of them?
Or, the experience in the Soul Temple seemed simple, but in fact, the three of them had completely different experiences at the soul level.
"Maybe some of the genetic drugs injected by the herd before spilled out."
Bai Ning responded vaguely, and directly raised his leg and stepped towards the Gene Temple, neither wanting to settle Jiang Yingxue, nor making certain arrangements for him to be admonished.
This attitude seems to want Jiang Yingxue to choose whether to enter the genetic temple or not.
Gritting her teeth, Jiang Yingxue strode into the temple after trying to suppress her heartbeat to no avail.
Seeing that all the leaders had entered, the rest of the outlaws, you look at me, I looked at you, and they hesitantly followed in.
But as soon as they stepped into the last step, the outlaws seemed to be oppressed by inexplicable gravity, and their whole bodies seemed to be burdened, and they suddenly fell on the steps.
Bai Ning, who was leading the way in front, saw this strange situation, and only glanced back, and after finding that Ivan, Xiaohu and the others were all like this, he continued to walk into the temple without looking back.
In the end, there were still only the three people who had entered the Soul Temple before, as if they had some special screening conditions.
Seeing this, Ivan also knew that he had been rejected by the Gene Temple, so he quickly left with the remaining dozen or so people quite interestingly.
For many outlaws, it seemed like a great blessing not to enter the temple.
Ivan was the only one who took a final look at the genetic temple, some things, both a threat and an opportunity, do nothing, and in the end he can only be an ordinary mortal.
However, this covetousness is only fleeting.
Ivan knew that he was just a thigh-hugging existence, and being able to get out of here alive was already his biggest hope at the moment.
As for other so-called opportunities, he didn't dare to hope for anything at all.
Standing outside the door of the Gene Temple, it seemed to be pitch black inside, but after entering it, it gave people a sense of golden splendor.
Compared with the previous Soul Temple, the overall decoration level here can be described as much magnificent, with a dazzling variety of gemstones inlaid on the ornaments that exude a golden luster, and there is a kind of grandeur in the grace and luxury.
In addition to the intricate decorations, there is also a central totem in the center of the temple.
This totem is pure white as jade, and the totem at its top is a double helix structure of a gene, but this structure is more complex, and the base objects carved on the stone pillar are like warm scales spreading upward, with the strange beauty of two snakes entwined.
The base pairs that fly out are elegantly entangled, and they are a little more domineering and elegant than snakes.
It is said to be a snake, mainly because the pictogram of Fuxi Nuwa is also a pair of double snakes entangled.
Or, for columnar organisms with scales, snakes are the most intuitive association.
But for the Chinese civilization, there is another creature with scales, which is the legendary dragon!
Everything here is unobstructed, not as dark as when you first entered the Temple of Souls, but vision is only a way of feedback from the outside world after all, and seeing does not necessarily represent reality.
"Is this really just some symbolic totemic column?
There are not even some decent defense mechanisms, so is the core of management stuck here waiting to be killed?
A symbolic temple where only some genetic organisms are guarded?
With such a high level of technology at the Ancient Ruins, shouldn't there be some more powerful weapon systems here? ”
The various attacks from the sensory level to the soul level that I had experienced in the Soul Temple before, if these were all high-level attacks, then the defensive system of this Gene Temple was also too weak.
Jiang Yingxue's question comes from the current situation that is too easy, the entire Gene Temple is like a public place for you to come and go at this time, without the solemnity of a temple.
Furthermore, where was the genetic agent injected by genetic organisms obtained before?
You can't kowtow in front of a white pillar, and then the white pillar activates the powerful genetic potential in the body, and even this state of unlocking the gene lock can further radicalize the soul in the body, even if you accidentally die in battle, you will fall into a state of spontaneous combustion, turning into a crazy flame that sweeps everything around you.
"The presence of the management core here has always been very low, which is obviously not normal.
Moreover, the second child's sudden spontaneous combustion was too weird, and he killed all the beasts in an instant.
In order to manage the core's understanding of the use of souls, it will definitely not use all the power in its hands to die together.
In addition, a group of more than a dozen people wanted to enter the Genetic Temple, but in the end, only the three of us were able to successfully enter, which is a symbol in itself.
Screening is also an expression of rejection, so this temple seems to be quiet, but it is not a place we can underestimate. ”
Bai Ning seemed to want to emphasize the danger of this place, but looking at his state at this time, it was a calm and natural posture of leisure.
For a detailed inspection of various furnishings, it is like admiring and playing with art in an old friend's house, without too much love, but there will definitely be no restraint.
The three of them soon came to a large stone platform with various Atlantean aesthetic objects on it, and with a modern aesthetic, you can't know what it is intended to express.
A polished metal object like this, which does not prove its age, is nothing more than a sensational modern work of art even if it is taken out and lacks historical proof.
What attracted the three of them the most was the withered corpse of a beast placed on it.
It's like a sacrificial offering, and it's like a special specimen placed here, symbolizing some kind of genetic achievement.
Due to the fact that the carcass of the beast has been severely dehydrated and mummified, the details on the body are completely unclear, and one can only roughly guess that it is a big cat.
The most typical cat in this Tunguska region is the Siberian tiger, but the skeleton of the dried carcass is significantly larger than that of an adult tiger, and the atrophic structures of the limbs do not look like felines.
"Among the beasts we have encountered in the past, there are no tigers at all, and even among the previous herds, there are no signs of carnivores.
Could it be that this kind of thing has become naturally extinct here after a long period of survival screening? ”
Jiang Yingxue looked at the dried corpse of the animal in front of her and expressed some of her own opinions.
Researchers in the ancient ruins may have created a lot of genetic organisms, but only a few vegetarian animals have survived.
The more beasts at the top of the food chain, the higher the requirements for ecological stability, and such artificially created beasts simply cannot survive in such a small ecosystem.
Bai Ning didn't answer this question, if even a beast couldn't be raised, the ancient ruins would never be able to create such a huge underground base.
Some things don't show up, and that's because it's not the moment for them to appear.
If it was just a wave of beasts hedging and emptying all the ancient ruins, then the process of destroying the illusion core here would be too easy.
As we gradually entered the core area of the Gene Temple, there were more and more similar dried corpses, and various booths were placed with dried corpses of animals of different shapes, which together constituted a well-structured artificial evolutionary illustrated.
If all this was inconsequential, the core of the management would not have gathered the beasts in the entire room and burned them here.
The Illusion Core tried its best to let Bai Ning and the three of them enter the Gene Temple, but why didn't the management core that guards this place appear for a long time?
Now Bai Ning and the three of them are equivalent to the chess pieces at the core of the illusion, and they are the invaders of this genetic temple, and being able to hang out here so swaggering has even made Bai Ning a little jealous.
"Do you have any overall impressions of these biological specimens?"
A very abrupt question made Jiang Yingxue stunned for a long time, and she didn't come up with a proper answer.
The things here may be very valuable for those who are engaged in biological research, but for Jiang Yingxue, they are just some useless mummies.
Some thousand-year-old bacon stored here, this may be Jiang Yingxue's overall impression at this time.
However, with Jiang Yingxue's understanding of Bai Ning, he would never ask some inconsequential questions at such a moment.
Could it be that Bai Ning has already found some flaws here?
Or, even if this is a genetically based temple, that doesn't mean that the management core won't create a phantom labyrinth.
Thinking that they were also briefly pulled into the illusion maze by the robots sent by the management core, if it weren't for Bai Ning's quick reaction, they would probably be led astray by destruction.
"If we want to be caught in the labyrinth of illusions, but let's look at some dried corpse specimens, what is the overall meaning?
If the management core really wants to avoid our invasion and seems a little overwhelmed due to the exhaustion of its own strength, then it is also a good coping strategy to give us a little sweetness and let us leave happily.
In addition, these genetic specimens seem to be useless, and it is better to put them here than to carve their genetic maps on stone tablets directly. ”
Jiang Yingxue gave a certain response according to her own understanding, but the content didn't seem to have any great significance, and it seemed a bit rambling.
