These parasitic aliens seem to have a higher class in the biological system created by the dark gods, and even after their deaths, the residual aura still makes other xenomorph larvae dare not approach. Zero picks up the corpse of the insect and leads the team to the corridor not far away, then tears the corpse of the larva open with a dagger, and smears the coagulated plasma on the floor of the corridor, forming a red thread.

Before the smell of worm blood is gone, it should be enough to stop the harassment of those xenomorph larvae. After doing this, Zero looked at the insect corpse in his hand as he walked. The structure of these parasites is very simple, and they do not have organs in the ordinary sense, such as mouths or eyes. It looks like a lump of flesh with three rows of legs, but under its abdomen, when squeezed slightly, there are many small holes at the edges, and some biological fibers that resemble nerve rays will spit out, perhaps relying on these things to connect to the host and manipulate their movements.

The insect is completely disentangled, and within its body, there is a structure similar to a brain. It's just that this worm brain occupies two-thirds of the area of the worm's body. During this period, the brain groove is profound, which shows that these guys have extraordinary intelligence. This can be seen from the fact that the ShadowClan girl used human language to trick them, and judging from various circumstances, these insects have inherited their abilities and knowledge after taking over the host.

But how do insects get into the host?

As soon as he thought of this question, Zero suddenly shook his body and stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Kim, walking beside him, noticing something.

Zero looked at the insect in his hand and said, "I know what the seeds and the elixir are all about. ”

A clean spot was found in the hallway, and the team rested for a while. Zero said by the way: "The two parasitic ShadowClan people I met just now may be the manifestation of the late stage of turning into a 'beast'. ”

Moni has transplanted the seeds herself, and she has experienced it best. Suddenly, his little face turned pale and he said, "You mean, after turning into a beast, you will eventually generate the disgusting thing in your brain?"

"You can't go wrong. Zero said, "The seed is a creature of the dark god, and after transplanting it, it immediately has the power of a person with a high-level ability like an ordinary person. Although this power cannot be advanced, it is undeniable that the seed itself is a very powerful organ. It can give people the ability, even if Dawning City has already started research in this area and has entered the research and development stage of the orientation ability, but it is still far from the seed. ”

"But is the seed really a living organ? No, I think it's the eggs of the alien worm, and the elixir is the catalyst. It awakens the eggs from their slumber and becomes self-aware, and when the eggs hatch, it is the beginning of the host's brutalization. Remember the spreader cells, which are the first manifestations of egg hatching. Zero said in a deep voice: "These things are to transform the host, so that the host's body becomes an environment that can be parasitized by alien insects. Eventually, the larvae of the insect will somehow enter the brain and slowly grow up, eventually dominating the host. ”

"Those two Shadow Clan people should be examples after taking the holy medicine. ”

Moni shuddered, and Zero chuckled, "Don't worry, I've cleaned up those Communicator cells, and no bugs will burrow into your head." ”

With his assurance, the girl was visibly relieved.

"Logically, though. The ShadowClan are also creatures of the Dark God, and they should have some understanding of seeds and elixirs. In that case, why would you want to take these things to the surface and give them to the tribes?" said Jin, frowning.

"Don't you think it's a bit like collecting data? Also, some of the xenomorphs we've come across, some of them have terrestrial alien genes. Those seeds and elixirs were like instruments for collecting biological data on the surface, and these insects must have some natural connection to the dark gods. Zero said softly, "From this point of view, maybe the black owl has bad intentions for letting me enter the Titan Hall." And the ShadowClans, as they say, simply migrated to the surface, and they left the underworld to collect data for the Dark God. ”

"But that forward base, there are still traces of those battles...... Leah said, meaning why the ShadowClan were hunted down by other xenos if they were ordered by the Dark God.

Zero looked at the crowd, "Maybe our previous reasoning was wrong, not all xenomorphs are suddenly out of the control of the dark god. At least, the ShadowClan are still under the control of the Dark God. In this case, isn't it normal to be attacked by other xenomorphs?"

"Things seem to be getting complicated, and if that's the case, the ShadowClan will have been dormant on the surface for decades. If everything is ordered by the God of Darkness, then the purpose of the God of Darkness will be ......" Jin said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "It wants to build an army with advanced intelligence, not these aliens in the underground who are still in their savage form?"

"It's not surprising that this may be, and judging from its current behavior, it can be concluded that it is what I am looking for. After all, aggression is their essence. Zero stood up and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if that thing is the Dark Core or the God of Darkness." We must all destroy it, and its very existence is a threat to natural life. ”

On this point, the crowd has no opinion. Along the way, the xenomorph beings I saw were all very aggressive and aggressive. They can be said to be the natural enemies of life, and the dark gods who created them are certainly not a good thing. The surface is messy enough, and if you give something like this out of the ground, the world will become even more chaotic.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the corridor continued to go underground without encountering other xenomorph interceptions. Soon, the corridor had come to an end. Exit through the exit and enter a hall. The dome is supported by natural pillar stones, and there are countless oval-shaped cocoons here, but these cocoons have become hard. Something inside is probably dead, and it's arranged in a ring. On the ground, there are countless fleshy pipes that connect to the base pads of the meat cocoon, which seem to be the transport pipes for nutrients.

At first glance, this is a biological weapons factory, which already has the capacity for large-scale and assembly-line production. But the factory seems to have been shut down, and at least the breath of life is not felt in this empty hall. Many of the cocoons have broken shells, and some xenomorph larvae are stuck in the gaps in the cocoons, or lie on the ground. They should feel the sudden cessation of the supply of nutrients and leave the cocoon out of a survival instinct.

But they can't meet the survival standard, and they can only slide into the abyss of death in the end.

In the center of the hall, there is a corpse that looks like a hill high. It's a giant alien that is supposed to play the role of producer. It resembles some kind of bug with a carapace, and it resembles a velociraptor but with insect wings. The wings were in tatters on the ground, and they were no longer able to raise them. The xenomorph has an organ on its tail that resembles a female genitalia, and not far from the ground, there is a meat cocoon lying on the ground.

A spherical notch appeared on the xenomorph's head. The carapace at the edge was shattered, and Zero jumped up to it and looked inside, and there was a space about half a meter in diameter, which was supposed to be a vessel of something. Now, it's clear that it's been transferred.

What is that thing, and who is going to be the person who is going to transfer it? These are all mysteries.

"Here we go again......"

A soft cry made the man on the giant xenomorph turn around. It was Leah, she squatted down, pressed her hand to her eyebrows, and said, "I heard that call again, this time it was loud." It's like...... It's like ...... next to me."

So everyone looked around, but the hall was empty, and there was no sign of life other than them. This call came and went as fast as it came, not as persistent as the last time, but it became clearer. Leah was sweating profusely and pointed in one direction with her slightly trembling fingers: "She's ...... over there"

In the direction Leah was pointing, there was a thick wall. The walls are grey and rustic, and there is nothing special about it. Tapping with your fingers, you can barely make any sound. Indicate that there is a solid rock formation behind the wall, or that the wall is thick enough. However, it is not impossible to think about it. Odd was a clumsy method, he took a few steps back, then rushed forward with all his strength, and then threw a punch that brought up several fist shadows, which were then overlapped and imprinted on the wall. Suddenly, the wall cracked silently, and a piece of mud powder collapsed with a bang. Behind the wall, there was still a solid rock formation, like Leah was pointing in the wrong direction.

But Zero believed Leah's feelings, and he swung his fist again, this time with a reloaded warhead. The pale golden light that wrapped around the fist shattered the wall again and again, and occasionally burst out with an implosion-like destruction, which made the gap in the wall expand a lot. After throwing forty punches in a row, there was a boom, and the wall was blasted through. This wall is as thick as 50 centimeters, and if it weren't for zero determined bombardment, someone else might have abandoned it halfway.

Behind the gap in the wall is a deep hall. Something in the hall emitted a faint blue light, and you could see the pillars of several people hugging each other, as well as some of the patterns engraved on the floor and walls. What's more, as soon as the wall exploded, a rich aura of energy rushed to the face. It's like a balloon that suddenly leaks, and the intensity of energy is more than zero imagination.

After waiting for some of the energy aura in the hall behind the wall to be expelled, Zero took the lead in getting in. As soon as they entered, they unfolded their energy defense field to prevent any attacks. Then, Leah, Alice and the others came in one after another. The hall is spacious, with six thick stone pillars supporting the dome. The floor was carved in a radial shape, and in the middle of the hall stood a three-meter-tall cocoon.

The base of the cocoon lays out hundreds of dark red tubes, which spread along the ground to the rest of the hall and buried deep into the ground. Occasionally, a reddish glow rises from the ground in a certain meat tube, which is transmitted through the pipe to the base pad, and then turns into a light foam that rises from the bottom of the meat cocoon. From time to time, red light like this appeared, as if it was extracting energy from the center of the earth to supply the cocoon.

There is a shadow in the meat cocoon.

Zero and they walked over, but in fact, the wall coat of the meat cocoon was very thin, and it seemed to be a layer of flesh film. It can be seen that the cocoon carries a liquid similar to a bio-based liquid, and there is an unrivaled amount of energy emitted from it. Judging only from the energy equivalent, it is equivalent to the entire energy of an eleventh-order powerhouse, and it may even reach the twelfth order.

But none of this matters, what matters is the figure in the cocoon. Undoubtedly, it is the ultimate beneficiary of all this. Judging by the shape of the figure, it seems to be a young girl. She curled up, a few thick dark lines connecting her to the flesh cocoon, and long hair drifting through the cocoon, forming a shadow like seaweed.

It's just that the wall clothes of the flesh cocoon cover her appearance, and it also makes people outside unable to see her face clearly.

"That's her. Leah took two steps back and nodded, "She was calling me, and she begged me to let her out of here." ”

Zero touched the wall coat and said, "It shouldn't be difficult." ”

"But who is she? is she the God of Darkness, or is she the host of the God of Darkness?"

"Neither!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Zero and the others turned around at the same time, and a man who was never supposed to be here slipped through a gap in the wall. The man said calmly, "That's my sister, Wind Dance." ”

"Why are you here...... Elder Blackowl?" asked Zero.

The black owl didn't answer, but behind him, there were figures coming in one after another. These are all Shadow Clansmen, old and young, men and women, a total of more than a dozen. The important thing is that everyone's breath is filled with the smell of rage, like a beast that can burst out and hurt people at any moment. With just one glance, Zero knew that these people were the hosts of those alien insects.

But they were respectful to the black owl, as if the black owl were their master. To be exact, the owner of the worm.

"Looks like you have a lot of secrets, Elder Blackowl. Zero said indifferently.

The black owl spread his hands: "Who doesn't have a secret." I have, don't you have one? ”

"Of course I have, but my secret isn't as dirty as you turned your own people into demon worm hosts!" Zero said coldly.

"Monster Worm?Host?Looks like you know a lot, and to be honest, I'm surprised. You've been able to get here, and it stands to reason that you'd fall into the wall of the abyss. ”

Zero sneered: "It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to follow the route you gave." ”

"It seems to be true. The black owl nodded his head and said, "One thing needs to be corrected, those treasures are not demon worms, the dark god calls them the Dominators." ”

"Dominator......" Zero looked at him and said, "You can dominate these things?"

"No, to be exact, the Dark God only gave me permission not to be attacked by it. In other words, I can come and go here freely. ”

Zero nodded: "I understand, what you said before." The person who supposedly invaded the Titan Hall was actually you. So, trying to save your people or something is nonsense. ”

"It's not all lies, either. The black owl looked at the figure in the flesh cocoon, and his eyes softened: "At least, I still have someone I want to save." Of course, she was the only one I wanted to save. ”

It seemed that this secret had been hidden in his heart for too long, and the black owl was not in a hurry to do anything, but said, "Our father was the last patriarch of the Shadow Clan, and twenty years after I was born, my sister also came to this world. She was young and weak, like a flower that would wither at any moment. Yes, I told a lot of lies, but I didn't lie to you about one thing. The birth rate of our Shadow Clan is pitiful, and every newborn baby is the hope of the clan, and they will be taken care of with the utmost care. ”

"Unfortunately, my mother contracted a disease when she was pregnant with Wind Dance. It was a ferocious virus, and her mother died after giving birth to Wind Dance. However, the frightening thing is that the virus is genetically inherited, and when she was three years old, she began to show symptoms. By the time she was five years old, she almost died. It was my father who used his authority and mobilized a lot of resources to save her life. But Feng Wu still can't see hope, even if she exerts the strength of the whole clan, it will only let her live for another ten years. ”

"When Winddance was fourteen years old, the Blood Riders launched an attack on our home. My father stood up and took on the responsibility of fighting the enemy on the front line for himself by using the supplies of the whole clan. Eventually, the Bloodrider was defeated, but my father was killed along with one of the Bloodrider generals at the time. He was carried back to the clan with only one breath left, and his father's wish was to keep Wind Dance alive. The black owl's face gradually distorted: "However, these damn sluts will not allow me to continue to use the medicine of the clan for Wind Dance. Even if I became the patriarch, I still couldn't change their decision. ”

"But Feng Wu is my only relative in this world, I can't see the hope of my own heir, at least, I want to keep her!"

Zero looked back at the cocoon, "So you brought her back?"

"That's right, we were born here. The God of Darkness is our creator, and I believe that it must have a way to keep Winddance alive. So I came here with Wind Dance, killed everything that tried to stop me, and finally got here. The black owl pointed out, "See that big one? Yes, it's the god of darkness." No, to be exact, it is also the host of the Dark God. The god of darkness has created a suitable body for himself, but apparently, Feng Wu is more suitable for it. ”

So it offered a deal, a deal I couldn't refuse. The black owl said indifferently: "It can make Wind Dance live, live forever." The price was for me to take the seeds and the elixir out of the surface and distribute them to those in need. ”

"You mean that the seed starts with you?" said Zero.

The black owl said proudly, "Then who do you think brought the seed out?" You should know when you come here how risky this one is. Unless a strong person like you and me can kill him directly. Do you expect this waste to travel through the entire subterranean space to reach the Titan Hall?"

"But because of this, our Shadow Clan has been protected by other clans, and my prestige has also risen rapidly in the clan. Then, Wind Dance stayed quietly here to be treated. The God of Darkness informed me that Feng Wu would soon be healed. However, it needs more genetic fragments, preferably our Shadow Clan's, so that it will be easier to repair the genes of Wind Dance. The black lord patted the face of one of the shadow clan elders, "So I gave them to make them the most loyal servants of the dark gods." Originally, this is also the responsibility of our Shadow Clan. ”

Hearing this, Zero Shi understood the ins and outs of this. The complexity of the matter was far greater than he had imagined.
