The encounter in Neon Country, although one mother body was killed, still left Chen Nuo with two unsolved mysteries.
The first question is, how did the leader of the Truth Society find the mother body on the bottom of the sea in the first place? When Chen Nuo went in, he used a submarine with the female leader of the cult to go deep into the bottom of the sea with manpower and equipment.
Entering the tunnel…
So how did the leader of the Truth Society be found in the first place? How did an ordinary person with no money or power, or a blind man with limited legs and feet, end up in the undersea tunnel?
The second question is that the female leader of the Truth Society mentioned the word "prophet", and when the mother body exchanged information with Chen Nuo, the message contained the term "seed". That is, when the mother body first came to the earth,
, in order to wake up, he sprinkled some seeds on the earth, and then let himself fall into a deep sleep, hoping that those seeds would find him and wake him up. (Chapter 167)
At that time, the consciousness [it] that protected the mother body asked Hisako Ishii, and Hisako Ishii told [it] that the original words were: "The prophet asked me to come!"
[It] asked Hisako Ishii: "Where is the prophet?"
Hisako Ishii replied: "Already dead!"
Based on these problems, although Chen Nuo destroyed the mother body of Neon Kingdom, he still retained a deep vigilance!
He had previously suspected that the octopus organizations were those organizations that were trying to find and awaken the mother body.
Rape, alien forces?
In addition, an experience in my previous life was when I was hired by an octopus monster to conduct an expedition to the Antarctic continent... (I will tell you about this later).
In his memories of that trip to Antarctica, Chen Yanluo in his previous life did not have any doubts about the octopus monster organization. The experience was complicated and tortuous, but he never thought of any extraterrestrial forces.
In Chen Nuo's original memories, although the trip to Antarctica was very special to him, it was only special because that trip to Antarctica allowed him to meet Lu Xixi, the Queen of the Starry Sky, in his previous life, and the two of them had a close relationship from then on.
Deep entanglement.
But now, looking back on it, that trip to Antarctica obviously had a deeper secret!
Therefore, Chen Nuo has always suspected the octopus monster organization.
He believes that the octopus monster may be the seed left by the mother body, and has always made it his mission to find the mother body.
Otherwise, why do they use an octopus as their logo? And they have been posting high prices on their website for a long time to find and acquire octopuses with strange shapes, such an outrageous mission?
But this trip to the Amazon broke his doubts again.
Vanel, the representative of the octopus monster organization, actually came here to find and destroy the mother body!
Then...the seed can only be John Sterling!
·
"You took control of this place and found the mother body... so you must be the seed! But you don't want to awaken the mother body, and you use this place to grow your own power." Chen Nuo stared at John Sterling:
"Is there anything you want to say now?"
John Sterling looked miserable, shook his head and sneered: "What else is there to say, now we are all going to die here."
The earthquake beneath my feet gradually subsided, as if the world of ruins had returned to peace.
But the few people present were not relaxed, because they were all superpowers and could vaguely sense that although the world was calm, there seemed to be some invisible power that was slowly growing.
It’s unclear what this power is, but it’s an invisible pressure that makes everyone feel like the hairs on their bodies stand on end!
It's like, you are an ordinary person, and there is a tiger lying next to you! Although the tiger did not make any noise or move for the time being, you can still feel the strong sense of threat!
"It's time to talk frankly." Chen Nuo looked serious and glanced at everyone: "It's a matter of life and death. If we hold back at this time, we may all die here!"
"I agree with what Davarich said!" Vanel immediately replied loudly.
At this moment, the furry bear man has already gained trust in Chen Nuo after experiencing life and death together. Although this guy's methods are a bit deceptive, he really saves people! Now that everyone can stand here alive, I have to say it's a big deal.
The credit belongs to this "Davarishi".
Bonfrey looked at Chen Nuo coldly, and then asked a very sharp question: "You haven't explained who you are yet!"
The sea monster stood with Bonfrey and said coldly: "Yes, what is your identity!"
Even the Son of the Sun looked at Chen Nuo with the same scrutiny.
"...Okay." Chen Nuo sighed: "I..."
"He is Harvey." Varnell spoke first: "Although his appearance has changed, he is the big-footed Harvey who was always in the same team with us."
Although what Vanel said was not accurate enough, both Bonfrey and the sea monster understood what he said.
"So you pretended to be Harvey and got into the team?"
"What is your purpose?"
Vanel shook his head: "Okay everyone, I can ensure that this person's purpose is never to be our enemy. His goal is the same as mine, to find this place for this trip and then kill the things here."
"We can ignore this problem." The sea monster said coldly: "What I want to know more now is, Vanel, you seem to have more secrets hidden here! Why is the octopus monster looking for this place? What you just said
What kind of matrix is it, and what the hell is it?
As people hired by you at a high price to perform this kind of task, we have the right to know the truth!"
Chen Nuodao: "To be precise, there is an alien creature sleeping here, which is good at spiritual power. It fled to the earth in a very ancient era and regarded the earth as its next place to breed and live.
And once it wakes up, we'll all be screwed.
It’s that simple, is it clear enough?”
"How do you know this kind of thing? How do you know so much..." The sea monster was trying to ask something else.
Bonfre suddenly said: "It's clear enough!"
After all, he is a guy from the monastic order, and he is in the company of the old wizard wizard. Although his strength is not top-notch, his brain is indeed good enough.
Bonfrey immediately said: "This information is enough for the time being! Mr. Kraken. As for the others, it's not too late to go out and ask again if you have the chance. There is no point in asking these now. The questions in front of us are nothing more than two."
The first question is, who is our enemy?
The second question is how do we defeat this enemy.
As for the rest, just ask if you can survive!"
Chen Nuo glanced at Bonfre with admiration. From beginning to end, this guy was very cunning and smart.
Son of the Sun looked at Chen Nuo but said nothing.
Chen Nuo also glanced at the fat old man.
This fat old man obviously has a very subtle identity!
The Children of the Sun are different from the sea monster Bonfre and others. Others come to accept the commission for benefits.
But Son of the Sun is obviously different!
He is probably the octopus monster's "own one"!
This can be seen from the fact that Varnell was able to summon him using his life coordinates!
If he were just an ability user who accepted benefits to perform tasks, it would be impossible for the Son of the Sun to be so deeply bound to Vanel!
Chen Nuo put the crystal skull in his hand on the ground: "Now, let's figure out the use of this thing!"
He grabbed John Sterling and said, "You have been using this thing to control the mother body, right?"
"Control? Don't be kidding. You can't even imagine how powerful the matrix is! Nothing can truly control the matrix." John Sterling shook his head and sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
Snap!
Chen Nuo slapped this guy in the face again.
"If you continue to hold on to this resistant attitude, we will all die here! And you, as a traitor to the mother body, do you think your end will be better than ours?
Telling everything you know now is your only hope.
Even if this hope is very slim! John Sterling, do you want to continue to spend the last time of your life with this kind of worthless ridicule and incompetent rage?
Or should you hold on to even a ten thousandth of hope and cooperate with us? Go and struggle for that slim glimmer of hope?"
John Sterling's expression seemed to be lifeless: "The mother body cannot be defeated at all!"
"That's our problem! You're only responsible for telling us what we want to know!"
"The mother body cannot be controlled. The thing in your hand is only something that the indigenous civilization here used to worship the mother body in ancient times. The mother body is sleeping here. During the sleeping process, it will occasionally release some energy unconsciously.
They were regarded as gods by those ignorant ancient natives.
And this thing is a magical tool for them to sacrifice to the gods."
John Sterling finally said something useful.
Chen Nuo took a deep breath, and his tone was as gentle as possible. While still speaking, he slowly released a trace of mental power to influence John Sterling's consciousness.
"So...how to use this magic weapon? You have been very nervous about this thing just now. This thing must have some special uses, right?"
"As I said, it is a magical instrument used to sacrifice the mother's body. It is used to coax the mother's body into sleeping.
The ancient indigenous civilization discovered the energy released when the mother's body was sleeping, regarded it as a god, and then worshiped and offered sacrifices to it, and created this thing.
They discovered that the mother body likes to devour life. In fact, it is not devouring life at all. The mother body just needs to absorb the spiritual power of life. However, the ancient indigenous civilizations did not understand the difference and thought that the mother body wanted to devour life, so they used a large number of living creatures to do so.
Living sacrifice.
And this skeleton is a magical weapon of the living sacrifice... used to transform life into pure spiritual power."
After a pause, John Sterling sighed: "I really don't know the specifics.
All I know is that in ancient indigenous civilizations, there were also evolved espers, and they were also telepathic espers.
However, this mental ability user did not evolve naturally. It was probably due to living around the mother body for a long time and being unconsciously releasing energy while the mother body was sleeping, which led to the mutation.
This kind of mutated esper appeared among the ancient indigenous people. They had super mental power, but their brains had mutated.
You can see that the skull of this skeleton has been completely deformed."
Indeed, the shape of this crystal skull is really weird.
"With this kind of mutated spiritual power, ancient civilizations can finally communicate with the mother body.
But this kind of communication is at the level of spiritual consciousness...and the mother body is still sleeping, so the messages released are very simple and limited.
These indigenous mutants can only improve the sacrifices based on the few pieces of information they received.
From the original direct slaughter of living people and sacrifices, a method of converting life into spiritual power gradually evolved and invented, which is through these mutated spiritual power users.
But this kind of ability is limited, because the number of times the mother body releases energy to cause mutation is very small...it is sleeping.
It cannot always guarantee the release of energy and continue to create mutants.
Therefore, ability users will die, and in order to ensure that the sacrifice can be carried out, those ability users of ancient civilizations came up with a way... to make the heads of dead ability users into magic weapons to ensure that this kind of sacrifice can be carried out.
It has been passed down forever.
To put it simply, it is to go through a ritual to kill a living being, preferably a person with abilities! Then infuse the living creature's blood into the skeleton and convert it into spiritual power through the ritual.
Then pass through the pyramid, transport it to the sleeping mother, and feed it!
In exchange, every time the mother is fed, some energy will be fed back..."
Chen Nuo heard this and sneered: "John Sterling, this is how your powerful ability comes from!"
John Sterling stopped talking.
Chen Nuo did not doubt his statement.
Injecting spiritual power into the mother's body will receive a gift from the mother's body in return... This is a fact that Chen Nuo has personally experienced.
This is how he got his strong mental power now.
But there must be something wrong.
It is also a gift from the mother's body, but this John Sterling's ability seems to be neither human nor ghost. He is surrounded by black energy, and he looks like an evil demon king and villain!
Not pretty at all!
Chen Nuo himself is not like this.
Then there must be something wrong with the kind of sacrifice made by the ancient indigenous people.
"Then this thing can make the mother's body sleep forever?" Chen Nuo pointed to the crystal skull.
"Of course not." John Sterling shook his head: "This thing can only coax the mother's body, so that it will not be awakened from its deep sleep, and it will always be fed and fed..."
Got it!
Chen Nuo understood the meaning instantly.
It's like you're raising a wild beast.
This crystal skull is the food bowl.
If you regularly throw food into this food bowl, the beasts will eat enough and won't cause trouble.
Once you take this food bowl away...
John Sterling was of little value. Chen Nuo no longer looked at this guy, then looked at Varnell, then at Son of the Sun, but still set his sights on Varnell.
Hmm... In comparison, this guy is easier to deceive.
"Davarisi! I think since you dare to come here to hunt the mother body, you must have a way to kill it, right? If there was no way, you wouldn't come here so rashly to die."
Chen Nuo said with a solemn tone: "Now, it's time to come up with your solution!"
Vanel's lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something...
boom!!
Suddenly there was a thunder-like movement underground!
Several people suddenly became unsteady and staggered!
And just at the place where the pyramid collapsed in the distance, the ground quickly collapsed, and a huge and terrifying sinkhole appeared on the surface!
Amidst the shaking of the ground and the violent vibrations and roars, suddenly, a huge shadow emerged from the sinkhole...
One foot...
two feet...
Three legs...
One by one, huge black things climbed up the edge of the sinkhole, and then pushed a huge figure as tall as a mountain out of the sinkhole!
four legs...
Five legs...
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it, and at the same time they subconsciously stepped back.
Chen Nuo sounded annoyed: "Mom, Fuck! What is this! Where is the octopus that we promised?!!"
Vanel next to him swallowed hard: "This, this... this is about the same..."
"It's almost there?! You call this almost?!" Chen Nuo grabbed Varnell.
"They all have eight legs..."
"Eight legs, you little biscuit!!" Chen Yanluo cursed, pointing at the monster figure in the distance that had completely poked its huge body out of the pit.
Although they all have eight legs... this thing is obviously not an octopus!
But one, as big as a mountain...
spider!
