Chapter 14: Curiosity 4600

Just as Elias was about to send out a communication, ready to remind the followers of the Su Sun Water God that they had begun to act.

Su Sun was in the underground labyrinth, experimenting with the results of his recent practice.

-Underground Labyrinth, Level 7, Hurricane Cliffs-

The reason why the Hurricane Cliff is called this name is precisely because in this layer of the labyrinth, from time to time there will be extremely lethal and extremely ferocious winds.

This wind-eroded rock layer makes this layer of maze almost all steep wind-eroded rock, and there are few flat places to settle, and even if there is, it is also the habitat of some powerful magical beasts.

And now, a flat mountain hanging platform, obviously the lair of a powerful demonic beast, but there is a black-haired young man standing calmly in the center of the hanging platform, signaling a huge moth-shaped demonic beast standing opposite him to attack him.

The young man was dressed like a tourist on the beach on a summer day, dressed like a tourist on a summer beach, and his bare skin shimmered with layers of grayish-white glitter.

"Hurry up!"

The moth demonic beast that occupied the nest, but did not dare to complain at all, did not dare to attack the other party, but under Su Tian's slightly impatient urging, it still vibrated its wings in a wail, absorbing the magic power in the surrounding atmosphere with all its might, condensing them all into its wings, and then gathering into a rainbow orb on the top of its forehead, and finally turning into an incomparably bright beam.

Hum, a buzz, this gathered the whole body energy of the moth demonic beast to shake the atmosphere, just a precursor, it tore the air out of a vacuum wave, and the fusion of various elements formed by the magic torrent after the launch, it made the surrounding air alternately appear dry, moist, electric shock and other visions, at a glance, the power is extraordinary.

But in the face of this blow that was enough to pierce the boulder, Su Sun simply raised his left hand and steadily blocked it in front of him.

Bang, the moment the dazzling elemental torrent touched the palm of Su Sun's left hand, layers of gray-white shimmering dragon scales floated from the center of his palm, and these scales, which looked very fragile, were like a dam, firmly blocking all the elemental impacts, and there was almost no loss of their own.

Even, if there was a transcendent and high-level cultivator present, then he could see that these gray-white scales, after coming into contact with the elemental torrent, began to change color rapidly, and the elements they came into contact with were quickly transformed into other types of elementsโ€”the type of element that each scale transformed into was fixed, some scales only converted into water, some only converted into fire, and most of the elemental types converted by each adjacent scale were different.

After these elemental powers were transformed by the scales, they began to clash with each other, cancel each other, and even turn into pure impact, flowing out of the grooves that seemed to be muscle outlines on Su Sun's arm.

For a moment, he could see that there was a long white air shock wave rushing towards the rear in the direction of Su Sun's elbow joint, and the forward thrust it generated was roughly the same as the backward thrust generated by the elemental torrent in front of him - Su Sun didn't even need to use his own strength, as long as he ensured that his arm was at the right angle, he could block this attack almost without damage!

Soon, the full force of the Moth Demon Beast was over, and the elemental torrent gradually became thinner and smaller, like a gradually drying river, and finally disappeared - this time, the Moth Demon Beast played at a super level, at least the ordinary transcendent low-level Demon Beast would never be able to block this blow.

"Not bad!"

But even so, Su Sun was still unharmed, he clapped his hands, and the green smoke that was rising from his palms was eliminated, and the young man raised his hand and looked at the scales in his palm with joy - this time, the newly transformed scales did not become charred and black due to the frequent transformation of the elements, nor did they crack and bleed due to overload.

- It's still stable, maintaining its normal form!

Undoubtedly, this proves that compared to the dozens of previous experiments, the corrected scales this time took less damage and was more complete.

"Your strength has exceeded the evaluation standards of the ordinary transcendent level."

Hearing this, Yara commented quite pertinently: "The innate spell ability of this extraordinary low-level elemental moth is enough to make it leapfrog the challenge, and the extraordinary middle-level demonic beast whose ordinary defense is not strong enough may really be killed by one blow if it is hit by this elemental beam." But your defenses are already able to ignore attacks of this level, making it useless to hit with all its might. โ€

"It's me after allโ€”if I can't even do this, how can I be worthy of my penance during this time!"

Su Sun replied as a matter of course, and he clenched his palm, causing the scales of his palm to disappear and sink into his skin. The young man nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the scale armor material of the real body can already be determined." With the addition of the musculature structure that I had already confirmed some time ago, after a while, I was able to begin to formally reserve the mass of my body and begin the transformation of my true body. โ€

Before, the scales that appeared in the center of Su Sun's palm were secondary transcendent organs that Su Sun had transformed and deteriorated from the 'Five Spirit Colored Feathers' of the Peacock Divine Bird.

The original Five Spirits Colorful Feather can quickly and freely convert the spiritual power of various attributes, so that one spiritual power can radiate multiple characteristics, and it is an extremely efficient spiritual energy converter and storage device.

However, the structure of the Five Spirits Colored Feather is too delicate and complex to shape and repair, and even if it is converted into the Five Spirits Colored Scales, it cannot hide its characteristics - although this transcendent organ is strong, it is difficult to repair and regenerate, and it cannot be used for daily consumption, especially as a body material for defense.

Therefore, Su Sun simply deteriorated it and removed the free conversion function of various types of spiritual power of the Five Spirit Scales, so that it could only be converted fixedly, just like a processor that had emasculated its performance. This gives him extra space to reinforce the scale structure and greatly speed up regeneration.

"It's just a pity, there is still an upper limit to the conversion speed of dragon scales, and if it exceeds the upper limit, it will explode - if it is at the level of the five spirit color scales, even an extraordinary high-level spiritual power torrent can be blocked, but the deteriorated version of the dragon scales is already very difficult to block the full strength of an extraordinary beginner-level demonic beast."

Knight, Su Sun is still a little dissatisfied with the defense of this scale, but fortunately, it can explode and also have the benefit of exploding, which means that the gray-white dragon scales can become a structure similar to reactive armor, which is really unable to block attacks, and can also reduce the enemy's damage to himself by self-destructing.

It's really not good, Su Sun can still throw the overloaded scales and attack the opponent like a scale bomb.

- Although it sounds somewhat similar to the ability of a police officer in a certain world, if you think about it carefully, Su Tian also happens to be a righteous policeman, everyone is a policeman, and it is normal to have similarities.

"Buzz?"

At this time, the moth demonic beast that had attacked before and helped Su Sun conduct the test made a slight sound, as if it was cautiously asking Su Sun, and the young man who successfully completed the test smiled and waved his hand at the other party: "Okay, I'll leave right away, and I won't continue to bother you." โ€

After speaking, he used the wind to help Lan Jia harness the strong wind, and left the hanging platform, leaving the moth monster in place, shaking its wings as if relieved, and then collapsed to the ground.

And just as Su Sun was about to find a place to continue his cultivation in the seventh layer of the labyrinth, he also happened to receive a notice from Elias.

"Is it that the enemy is coming? I said that it is impossible for the followers of the god of water to remain unresponsive for so long, it turns out that they have been operating separately and attacking other cities in the recent period. โ€

Su Yan nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that Taiping had an explanation for the recent period, but, out of prudence, he still asked: "Are you sure that the caravan member who summoned him is not a spy?" โ€

"It's not." Behind the communication weapon, Elias's voice came, and the young man explained seriously: "We have tested according to the method you left before, and we have not found any signs of inhumanity, he is not a fish man, but a pure human. โ€

"Yes. In this case, it is necessary to be prepared to withstand the onslaught of the enemy. โ€

Although Su Yan felt that even if that member of the Chamber of Commerce was not a spy, he could not listen to the other party's words, but the information that the believers of the God of Water were wreaking havoc all over the world could not be faked, and the truth could be easily proven, and the other party had no need to fake in this regard.

During the time that Su Sun had recently exercised his abilities in the underground labyrinth, Elias had not wasted any time.

Through the known news of the 'God of Water', the boy collected all the legends and news related to it by virtue of his status as the Grand Duke of Nether.

Although the vast majority of them are hypotheses and fabricated information to deceive the foolish people, there are vaguely descriptions of relevant information in some truly ancient texts.

The oldest deity is the wind born out of fire.

The wind howled, and the world swayed in the air.

The next deity is the water condensed by the wind.

The rain falls, and the world drifts with the waves.

The present gods are the earth gathered out of the water.

The rock was uplifted, and the world was fixed in shape.

This creation ballad from before the end of the world, left by an ancient barbarian, although it does not directly praise the name of the 'god of water', but it describes in detail the strange phenomenon of the alternation of elements such as 'wind in fire', 'water in the wind' and 'earth in water', and all this is indeed consistent with the relevant information he knows now about the god of earth and the god of water.

Of course, there seems to be a vague hint that in addition to the god of water, there may be another god of wind who has also been resurrected - but there is no news of it yet.

In order to find this related creation ballad, Elias spent a lot of time looking through various classics stored in the Nether family, and even searched for three or four days in a row, even Su Sun was surprised by this effort, and couldn't help but ask why.

"It's not necessary, is it?"

At that time, Su Yan was so puzzled: "Don't you often joke yourself?" The world is about to be destroyed - in that case, why bother so hard to find this kind of information? Elias, you know, no matter what the origin of the enemy is, we just need to defeat it. โ€

"It's different, Mr. Su Day."

Elias replied so calmly: "To fight the God of Water, we may not need to know where He came from, but if we want to find the truth about the change of epochs and find a way to avoid the end of the world, we need to find its source - the believers of the God of Water still exist, which proves that there is indeed such a feasible way." โ€

After explaining his actions, the gray-eyed boy was silent for a moment, and then slowly said a more authentic reason: "Moreover, even if the world is destroyed in an instant, I will be curious, curious about the truth behind the world, just like now, I am still curious about what is at the bottom of the labyrinth." โ€

"After all, according to the order in which the ballad is sung, the next one to appear should be 'Fire in the Earth'...... Does this have anything to do with the fact that the more you drop, the warmer the maze? I can't help but think about it. โ€

Saying this, he even laughed, with a simple and pure happiness: "After all, my father once told me that the most important human virtue is curiosity...... Whether it is above the sky or in the depths of the earth, human beings want to explore, they all want to go to unknown places. โ€

"Perhaps, this is also the reason why, even though the first few layers of the labyrinth are enough to provide people's daily needs, there are still many human beings who are still struggling to explore deeper labyrinths at the end of the world."

At this moment, Su Sun had risen to the fifth layer of the labyrinth, and he saw many adventurers who were exploring and collecting information in this layer of the labyrinth, like ants, exploring around in this vast labyrinth.

Different from the surface shelter full of dull twilight, here, in this labyrinth deep underground, Su Tian saw a vitality called vitality.

Although the exclusive expedition team of Grand Duke Nesser has already opened up the path to a deeper realm, the details of the entire labyrinth are not all that a team can find, it must be the information that adventurers can find out little by little.

"Is human curiosity...... Su Yan felt that this kind of instinct, even if it was the despair of the end of the world, could not be suppressed, it was quite romantic. Anyway, he likes it very much: "At least it shows that this world, although it seems to be eating and waiting to die, is actually still a little energetic." โ€

"In this way, I feel quite motivated, even if it is not for my own purposes, but simply for these ordinary people who are working hard to live."

With this in mind, Su Sun returned to the surface and flew towards Nether City.

But as he flew back to the city, Su Sun vaguely noticed that the sky in the distance had become much gloomy and darker.

There was a dull air of death coming from far away.

"Could it be that the necromancers are converging?"

Although Su Sun has been practicing in the underground labyrinth for this time, it does not mean that he does not know the fact that there are a large number of undead wandering on the surface of Tartadis now, and some time ago he also deliberately went to the wilderness to walk around and see what is special about the necromancers.

Unfortunately, it's no different from the resentful spirits on the earth, and in general, it's just the resentment left by a large number of people who died in the last days, but because the world itself is gradually declining, this kind of undead is especially easy to generate.

And just as the resentful spirits instinctively attacked the human race, a large number of undead gathered would naturally approach the shelter city where the humans gathered, causing the phenomenon of the undead attacking the city, and the large amount of dead qi appearing in the distance made Su Sun suspect that it was a precursor to the undead attacking the city.

However, when Su Sun came to the Grand Duke's Mansion, which had been repaired for most of the time, and was about to inform Elias of the news, and ask him what he thought by the way, Su Sun got an extremely shocking news.

"What? The water god believers slaughtered the city for sacrifice?! โ€

Seeing Elias's extremely solemn expression that did not match his age, even Su Yan was shocked when he said such news: "The top and bottom of the Fort Mickelson shelter were slaughtered to restore the divine power of the water god, no wonder there is such a heavy dead breath...... But how could they do that?! โ€

"After all, it's the end times, isn't it?"

The young Grand Duke seemed to want to force himself to compose himself and tell a bad joke, but it was evident that, judging from the whitening knuckles of his fingers, he himself did not find it funny.

After a moment of silence, Elias let out a long sigh, but his eyes regained momentum: "Although I don't know how effective the sacrifice is, there is no doubt that the power of the water gods has greatly increased, and their next target is us...... Originally, I thought that I would die if it was a big deal, but now it seems that this is not the case. โ€

And Su Day's reaction was much simpler.

"They're dead."

At the bottom of the blue-purple dragon pupils, it seemed that a raging fire was ignited, and the Demon Devourer Lord stated:

"โ€”Heaven and earth, no one can save them."
