Chapter 4 As a Human Being, You Should Speak Human Speech (8200, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
The girl in the coffin had long silver-gray hair that burned like a flame and was constantly windless.
This is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a fact: her hair is not a physical object, but a mimicry of energy, changing with the fluctuations of the aura around her.
The act of opening the coffin itself changed the environment of the aura, so that the fiery silver hair that covered the girl's whole body fluttered in the air, and spilled out a little phosphorescent spark.
A vigorous life spilled out of the coffin and spread throughout the hall.
If you look closely, you can see that she is outstanding in appearance and quite graceful, and the girl is smiling and sleeping, and her hands are clasped in front of her chest, as if to protect something, but the thing is hidden behind her back by slender hands, and its full view is not visible.
In addition, a faint flickering halo of light was faintly appearing behind her head, making everyone present feel clear, as if many sad and helpless things in their minds were slowly subsiding.
"This, this?! The ...... inside the coffin"
After the initial shock, Hard's eyes showed obvious greed and longing, and he stared at the girl's face and subconsciously swallowed.
But soon, he was alert and immediately looked away. His gaze returned to clearness, and the swordsman's tone was full of astonishment and doubt: "You can charm me at a glance...... This guy doesn't have the blood of a goblin or a succubus! ”
"But why, obviously based on intelligence......"
At this point, Hader immediately stopped talking.
He knew he had lost his words, so he simply stepped aside, frowning and thinking about something.
On the other side of the coffin, the massive silver-cyan armor moved slightly, allowing the camera to better scan the black coffin that had been opened.
[I see......]
After determining the current situation of the girl in the coffin, Master Suiguang suddenly sighed as if he had realized it.
The tone from the mechanical carapace was filled with relief: "Lady Yelena, is this what you're for? No wonder...... No wonder...... More than I expected. 】
"Smelly, very fragrant......"
As for Adama, he, like Hader, had a greedy and eager expression when he saw the girl, and he was swallowing his saliva as well.
But obviously, the idea of being charmed and wanting to 'eat' the other party and demonizing the sick giant is more pure and direct-
In the giant's dark green eyes, there is an obvious pure appetite at this moment!
The demonized are feared and disgusted by everyone in the world of Aion, not only because the demonized person will fall into madness, but also because the demonization will increase the strength of the patient, making their existence very dangerous.
What really disgusts everyone is the obvious tendency of 'soul devouring and cannibalism' that will appear after the demonic patients have reached a certain level of madness.
The erosion of source energy caused by the demonic disease will cause ordinary people who originally had no soul to give birth to souls, become 'soul condensers', step into the transcendent realm, and obtain their own abilities.
But such souls are filthy, fragile, and corrosive, and can quickly corrode the minds and bodies of demonizers, bringing their minds to the brink of collapse.
Out of survival instincts, demonizers will crave 'normal' souls, and they will want to devour 'pure' souls and flesh in large quantities, just as they would add a large amount of pure water to a bottle of sewage to dilute impurities.
However, the impurities in the soul of the demonizer will continue to increase. There is no special way to curb it, and the demons either eat the souls of hundreds of people and become 'human demons', or their souls collapse and turn into pure demonized beasts.
Naturally, Adama did not have the strength and time to devour thousands of Soul Condensers, and became the most terrifying 'human demon' among all the demons.
Therefore, this bloodline awakened person, who probably had the blood of a Nemean lion on his ancestors, is now almost completely beastified, and he has fallen to the ground on all fours, as if he is about to pounce out, swallowing the girl in the coffin with an incomparably pure soul in front of him, even the soul, flesh and bones.
If it weren't for the jealousy of the force of Master Suiguang and Yelena on the side, he would probably have already begun to act on instinct.
But at this moment, even Yelena showed a shocked expression, and did not notice Adama's jealousy at the first time.
"How so?"
The lady who led the quest to explore the ruins was not surprised by the fact that the girl in the coffin existed, but by another thing.
"Why?"
She muttered to herself in surprise, and even took a step back slightly, her eyes flustered and puzzled: "Why is it alive?!" ”
"Mingming's previous goal...... Do you say ......"
After panicking and puzzled, Yelena's expression suddenly turned into ecstasy: "On the holy day, 12,000 days and nights, good luck finally befell me?!" ”
It is different from the people who have various performances, are preoccupied, and obviously have their own plans.
"Yo, woman, alive."
Su Yan, who was just coming to see a lively scene, smacked his lips, he looked down at the girl in the coffin, and then began to praise the iron coffin: "This iron coffin is actually a source energy static stasis field generator, as long as the energy is sufficient, all the molecular movements in the coffin can be completely fixed, so that they do not move." ”
"It's simply a time stop spell, a one-way time travel achieved in the dumbest way!"
In addition, he could also see that the history of this iron coffin had exceeded 8,000 years, and 10,000 years was not surprising.
In other words, before the multiverse aura was cut off, the girl in the coffin was already lying in.
Of course, Su Yan didn't have no opinion on the girl, the other party's situation was indeed very abnormal, but it would be good to have the opportunity to read it directly with the book of Prajna, now guessing and guessing, he will definitely not be able to guess anything as a person from another world.
At this moment, the fact that the iron coffin, or the 'Source Energy Static Field Generator' was opened, did not wake the girl up, she was still asleep, breathing evenly, just like before lying down, with a faint smile on her face.
"Good, that's amazing!"
As for Gasha and Loya, they were looking at Su Sun with adoration, and felt that the professor was worthy of being a professor, and he was indeed very knowledgeable, although he could understand every word, he didn't understand it at all!
"What else to see? Closed! ”
Noticing that Harder and Adama were still watching the girl in the coffin, Yelena let out a cold snort, one hand on the hilt of her sword, and a bitter wind suddenly rose up and stirred through the hall, causing the two of them to react.
Yelena, a wandering knight, is best known for her skills and spells related to the source energy of the wind, and it is said that she once slashed the guardian arrow towers of a moving city-state with a single sword, and the raging wind can cut huge scars in the rock with just the aftermath.
“…… Hmph, I can understand your choice now. ”
Although he still did not keep his mouth shut, Harder still obeyed Yelena's order, obediently raised his hand, and prepared to close the iron coffin again.
"It doesn't require your understanding."
And the female knight replied coldly, she was indeed ecstatic before, but when she thought that the information of the girl in the coffin was also known by these people present, her face couldn't help but turn ugly.
But even uglier than her was the demonic giant.
"Roar!!
When the door of the iron coffin closed, obscuring all the girl's breath, including soul fluctuations, Adamadeng, who had lost his food target, let out a terrifying roar, almost like the roar of the source energy engine, shaking the entire hall.
He turned his head ferociously and looked at Hard, who had closed the iron coffin, his faint green pupils as if they were burning, releasing a source energy light visible to the naked eye.
The sound of clothes bursting with swollen muscles sounded, and in just a few seconds, the swollen demonized muscles made the demonized man rise in height again, his five fingers grew sharp claws, and the facial features on his face were completely distorted together, turning into a beast full of hideousness and anger.
"I said a long time ago, I should have killed him earlier!"
Hard, who was seen as a target, did not panic, he was wary of Adama from the beginning, and the moment the opponent roared, he jumped backwards with great speed, dodging Adama's powerful claw blow.
At the same time as the crumbling rocky ground was scattered, the swordsman had already drawn his long sword, and the demonic giant's arm, which had begun to grow beast hair, also had a long wound, a deep and difficult wound.
In the torn flesh, there were faintly broken ice crystals spreading, spreading at low temperatures, slowing down movement.
As a native of the Ionian Mountains in the north, Had's Source Power is naturally biased towards Frost, which can slow down the movement of enemies.
The more he relied on his body, the more he restrained him, so when Adama gained strong physical power when he was demonized, but gradually lost the source energy of the earth system, he could have an advantage.
"Woohoo————"
But with such a small injury, it was obviously impossible to calm Adama down, and he let out a breath from his nostrils, and the black demonic runes all over his body lit up slightly.
The most primitive, purified source energy that has not undergone any guidance technique is absorbed by him. Then turn into power.
The torn flesh wounds regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the demonic giant flew out without hesitation, and the swordsman who snorted also began to condense the source energy, causing bits of frost and snow to fly all around him, ready to cut the tendons at the joints of the opponent with the next blow.
"Please stop. 】
At this moment, a sound almost like a sigh sounded, and a swift gust of wind blew.
In the next moment, Had, who was about to slash out the long sword in his hand, and Adama who had already flown out were all frozen in place.
Because, huge mechanical armor has appeared in the middle of them.
Moreover...... He grabbed Hader's sword with one hand and jammed Adama by the neck with the other, forcibly halting the fighting.
Motionless. No matter how hard Hader tried to draw his sword, no matter how hard Adama tried to struggle, the silver-blue armor was still motionless, and Master Suiguang's helpless voice came out of it: [Just to give the old man a face, how about both sides stop? 】
With that, he first let go of the restraint on Hard's sword, causing the frost-patterned steel source energy weapon to fall to the ground.
The master calmly said to Hade, who looked rather ugly, "Mr. Hader, after all, Mr. Adama saved us twice, even if he is almost devoured by madness, but he is not incurable. 】
[The Demonic Life Research Institute of the Cult of Light Chaser has unique skills in alleviating demonic diseases and demonized souls, and after the adventure, I will invite Mr. Adama back to the Order, so that he can receive the most complete information.] 】
“…… Nicely said, but how are you going to get this obviously crazy complete guy back to normal? ”
Picking up the long sword on the ground, although Hard's face was ugly, he still returned the weapon back into its sheath, which was regarded as giving Master Suiguang a face.
Master Fusilier didn't speak, the mechanical armor raised a finger, the steel structure contracted, and a needle protruded from it.
He inserted a finger into the scalp of Adama, who was still struggling, and the alchemical potion that emitted blue fluorescence was injected into the subcutaneous tissue—the demonized giant quieted down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the demonic lines that flashed all over his body began to fade gradually, and the animalized characteristics began to return to their original state little by little.
Adama's dark green pupils had changed from sheer appetite to weak dazedness: he had regained a little consciousness and had not yet figured out what was going on.
This is where alchemists hold themselves in the world of Aion: they master technology far beyond anyone else, no one knows what an alchemist can do, and powerful alchemists are almost omnipotent.
"Good! Well played! ”
And Su Yan stood aside with the children, happily watching everything, as if nothing was his business: "It's so exciting!" ”
The others were visibly frozen, but they all pretended not to hear.
"Ancestors in ancient ruins...... Turns out that's what you're for. ”
Hard, who had put his sword in the sheath, had confronted Yelena again, and the tone of the serpent swordsman with a loud voice had changed from his previous sarcasm and provocation, but was as calm as frost - for a moment, it was impossible to figure out which side was the disguise: "If we had known that there was such a target in this ruin, we could have been more prepared." ”
"Now you know, satisfied?"
The female knight sneered, she still had a grudge: "You know this matter won't end like this, Modesto (Hader's surname), see if the people behind you can keep you." ”
"Haha, I dare say that the people above already knew that this would be the case."
Harder was not afraid of the threat hidden in the other party's words, he shrugged his shoulders, then turned and walked towards his luggage: "But before that, we still have to work together to get out of this ruin first—the rest will be talked about later." ”
"Then I hope you have a smooth journey in the future."
It sounds like it's just two guys with unusual backgrounds fighting each other.
But Su Sun could detect that when these two people were talking, they swept everyone in the entire hall with the corner of their eyes.
Naturally, including him.
"Good fellows." He chuckled.
After subduing and calming Adama down, Master Suiguang informed everyone of the new location of the water source he had discovered: a caving depression on the west side of the ruins, where a large amount of melted water had accumulated and water flowed out of the cracks in the crumbling rock.
Harder set out alone, followed by Master Flint and Adama.
Yelena took the iron coffin, and after instructing Su Yan to 'let the children be careful, don't catch a cold', she also left.
This is true, this female knight may have other intentions, but she does care about children, and it is no wonder that both Gasha and Loya had a good impression of Yelena before.
At this moment, only a bonfire was left in the entire hall, and there were three of Su Sun's master and apprentice.
"Dean, Dean!"
After everyone left, Luo Ya, who had been puzzled from the beginning, couldn't help but rush out from behind Gasha, and he asked Su Yan suspiciously, "What were they doing just now, why did they suddenly fight?" ”
Although Gasha was silent, looking at his gaze looking up at Su Sun, he obviously didn't understand.
"They are not highly educated, and they can't communicate smoothly."
Being looked up by the two children and thinking about it, Su Yan replied seriously: "Because of the lack of language ability, I need to act, tell riddles, and fight martial arts by the way, so that I can pass information to each other while hiding my true thoughts." ”
At this moment, the white-haired old man shook his head, and his tone was solemn: "Luoya, and Gasha, remember, you can't learn from them in the future." ”
"As a human being, you should speak human language!"
"Uh-huh!" Hearing Su Yan's solemn words, the two children nodded their heads frequently, indicating that they had fully understood.
The location of the water source is not far from the ruins hall, and it can be reached in more than ten minutes by walking.
Located in the North Ionian Mountains, the 'First Glory Ruins' is a huge group of prehistoric ruins, which is thousands of meters long and long, and more than 3,000 meters underground, almost hollowing out a mountain, which is also a large project for a prehistoric civilization.
Even if the geological changes in the past 10,000 years have been invaded by natural disasters, a considerable part of the structure of the ruins has been destroyed, and what remains is large enough.
After arriving at the new water source, the exploration team still did not gather together, but set up their own camping sites separately from each other - unlike before, the people who were basically tearing each other's faces no longer concealed their hostility and vigilance towards each other.
And the iron coffin where the maiden of the ancestors was placed was in the middle of the camp where everyone was encamped, and everyone watched each other, and no one could get close to it unless necessary.
It was soon time to rest, and everyone went into their tents and sleeping bags.
After putting the two children to sleep, Su Sun continued to practice the Rotation Immortal Method.
Although the Reincarnation Immortal Method is easy to get started, it is more important to stick to the practice, in the perfect world, there is the power of the Origin True Dragon as the driving force, so that the Immortal Law can be reincarnated spontaneously, but in other worlds, you must be self-conscious.
Accumulating source energy, Su Sun practiced while recalling in his mind memories of the cultivation methods unique to this world.
Rummaging through them, he had indeed found a few of the Source Energy Channeling Techniques that Svetley had practiced before.
But it's all rubbish.
It's not that it's bad, it's not that the cultivation method is rough, the level of refinement is not good, or the quality is not high—in fact, the guidance technique of the Aion world is quite fine, and in terms of quality, it is not inferior to the same level of exercises on the other side of the earth.
Considering the special density of local aura, the difficulty is a little higher.
The problem is that probably because Svetley has no choice, and the exercises he practices are completely different from his own talents.
Su Sun's current body is biased towards using the spiritual force field to manipulate metal, in other words, it is the genera of 'thunder' and 'gold' - this must be practiced, and it must be practiced Su Sun's own 'Imperial Five Extremes God Thunder True Method', as well as the White Emperor's 'Taibai Disaster Breaking Hao Spirit God Forbidden', so that it is called a professional counterpart.
But what about Svetley? He practiced the water system!
Because as an alchemist, or a potion alchemist who is biased towards medicine, the water system guidance technique is indeed very suitable for Svetley's profession, which can ensure his complete mastery of potions, but this has nothing to do with his natural talent at all.
Although it is not to say that the exercises that everyone can practice are inherently destined, Svetley is not so powerful that he can become a strong person even with half the effort.
After practicing for so long, as a well-known royal alchemist, he has no shortage of time or resources, and when he is in his sixties, he is only at the middle level of Xinguang, and the reason is very clear.
"The Divine Thunder True Law and the Hao Spirit Divine Forbidden are both a bit too strong, and the basic parameters of the world, the density of the spiritual energy are different, if you want to practice, you need to fine-tune."
Sitting in front of the tent, Su Sun closed his eyes, and the light of the bonfire passed through his eyelids, and a trace of temperature came through.
Although the white-haired old man still looked wrinkled at the moment, under that layer of skin, the original shriveled and aging flesh had begun to regain the vitality of his youth.
The blood of the devil makes Svetley tall, even if he is an alchemist, his physique is not particularly bad, and he has significant toxicity resistance, which is of great help to the alchemist's work.
And now, the devil's bloodline has been continuously cut and improved by Su Sun, and activated with the breath of the divine wood - that is, there is not enough food in the ruins, otherwise, when the food is sufficient, Su Sun can completely activate the devil's bloodline in his body to eighty percent.
In that case, he is only in his sixties, and for the devil, he is just coming of age!
Right now, Su Sun's physical body can't withstand too powerful cultivation, and the cultivation itself also needs to adapt to the situation in the Ai'an world...... And the Reincarnation Immortal Method can only live forever in the final analysis, not fight.
So. In order to deal with the intricate relationship between the exploration teams in the ruins, as well as the natural disasters of the outside world and the possible existence of local Manchu witch worship forces, he began to prepare to practice another cultivation method that could basically adapt to the situation of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Five Virtues Qilin Law!
As a cultivation method created by Su Sun and learned by Sarah, the Five Virtues Qilin Method can improve people's qualifications, enable non-illiterate intelligent beings to embark on the path of cultivation, and can also specialize in relevant attributes according to each person's talents.
Buzzing.
Opening his left hand, there was a subtle blue-blue thunderbolt lingering between Su Tian's fingers, and finally condensed into a small thunderball in the palm of his hand.
The destructive power of this thunderball is at most to kill mosquitoes, even cockroaches are probably a little reluctant.
But this was only the result of Su Day's less than ten minutes of practice.
He smiled, then opened his right hand again: the iron sand and metal debris on the ground converged like a tornado towards his hand, and finally condensed into an iron ball with many cracks that had not completely condensed into shape.
"Yes, it's still weak, but it's just a night."
Clenching his fists and smashing the small thunder ball and iron ball, Su Ri's face was calm: "Based on the Five Virtues Qilin Method, and then specialize in the Hao Ling Divine Forbidden and Thunder Method, and at the same time learn from the local cultivation methods of this world to improve—the problem of cultivation is almost solved." ”
"The next thing is to wait."
Thinking so, Su Sun stood up and prepared to go back to the tent to rest.
After all, his body has not awakened the devil's bloodline, and he is still an old man who is nearly seventy years old and has an empty body.
Even if the soul is very clear, it is necessary to rest, otherwise the body will die suddenly, and he will have to spend a lot of effort to resurrect.
Even Su Tian didn't want to revive a corpse cell by cell, once was enough, two times was too filthy.
Lie down and listen to the children's steady breathing.
For the first time in about three years, Su Yan took the initiative to sleep for the sake of rest.
Time passed, and his first day in this world was spent like this.
The next day, after the exploration team that had reassembled in front of the iron coffin, they began to split up to find possible exits to the ruins.
Others don't know, at least Gasha and Loya really searched for a day, and Su Yan also watched the boys' search with interest while walking and practicing.
He knew that even if the two of them died, they could escape from the ruins together—a testament to the fact that there was a gap in the ruins, and that they were not deep enough to be found by the two children.
There are a large number of reliefs and murals inside the ruins of the First Dawn, which roughly describe the war between the gods, and those naturally powerful innate beings were worshipped by the acquired intelligent beings, and finally turned into human-like forms and became gods.
Accompanying Gasha and Loya in their search for an exit, Su Sun stopped by to see these prehistoric artworks.
Although there are some gaps due to the long time and changes in the ruins, it can also be seen that it is a rather confusing story.
- Originally, it was a huge giant tree.
It burns brighter than the Holy Days, and all living beings are born and multiply under the light of the tree.
But one day, the great tree will fall, it will fall, it will wither, its flames will be extinguished, and its ashes will fly, but it will also bring endless life to the whole land, the mountains as its branches, the plains as its bark, and the mountains and hills as the result of the layers of its leaves.
And the ashes turned to dirt, and the sparks in them shone brightly, and mankind was born out of them.
At the same time, on the stump of the giant tree, the first gods were born, and although these natural gods who inherited the power of the sacred tree had great power, they had no divinity and were almost mortal in character.
They conspired with each other, robbed each other, wore hats and robbed wives, and there were even gods who traveled through the world in thousands of appearances, just to find a beauty that suited their hearts - in this regard, it was quite consistent with the Mycenaean gods of the earth, and presumably the gods on Mount Olympus in the past would have felt that they had met a confidant.
The chaotic and freewheeling gods also mean vitality, and the war between the gods also means progress and development.
As the gods fought and fought each other, the feats and techniques of the mortals began to flourish: some of them were god-given powers, others fragments of divine power that fell from the sky, and these forces led the development of civilizations, and finally the gods were amazed.
Originally, what followed was supposed to be the vast Golden Age of the Gods, with the rapid development of civilization.
But unfortunately, the truth is not always as rosy as human imagination becomes.
Above the mural, a very abstract flying dragon appears.
It seems to have awakened from the earth, and it seemed to come from the moon, and with the tides of source energy between the holy days and the demon moon, and in the midst of the terrible natural disasters, finally there was a creature, nay, a 'living celestial phenomenon' that awoke from the waves of calamity and source energy.
It has the image of a dragon, but it is not a dragon, it devours light, but it is not pitch black, and where the monster passes like the light of twilight, the crops are gone, the plants and trees are withered, and everything that has blood is like a sickle sweeping through the dry grass, and they all decay and fall to the ground.
The heavens and the earth are dark, and all things are decaying; The saints trembled, and the city-states were terrified.
All the vitality energy is the object of the dragon's drawn, but it is not a living thing—a monster known as the Dragon of Twilight, a living scourge with physical storms, droughts, and frosts, which move with the tides of the Holy Sun and the Demon Moon, and return everything to the 'nothingness' of the beginning of the world.
The gods couldn't stop it, and even killed quite a few of them.
In order to solve this catastrophe, which was almost annihilated, the gods finally decided to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to seal the Dragon of Dusk.
The mighty alliance of the gods faced the Dragon of Dusk and its Scourge in a battle of unprecedented proportions.
After that, there is no more.
Obviously, the ruins of the First Dawn were created before the war between the sentient beings and the Dragon of Dusk, and it was probably even a refuge, and the murals inside it were naturally impossible to depict things in the future.
And the next story, although it was not written in the previous era, the history of this era is very clear.
"The Dragon of Dusk was sealed by the gods in the 'Sealed Moon', and the civilization of the New Age has developed from scratch to the present, and now it has embarked on its own path."
Slowly muttering to himself, Su Tian turned his head sideways and looked at the corner of the relic corridor: "Although it is a cliché and exaggerated, this kind of mythological story is indeed worth analyzing, isn't it?" ”
"Lady Yelena?"
“…… You know, sometimes myths aren't exaggerated. ”
With the sound of a capable and concise female voice, the short-haired female knight stepped out of the corner.
She had a strange expression, and she didn't seem to understand why Su Sun could detect herself who was seriously hiding her breath and using the wind to restrain her taste and sound vibrations - the last time she was found outside the room, she still thought that she hadn't seriously activated her source energy spell, but this time her performance proved that this was not the case.
However, even if she had doubts in her heart, it did not prevent Yelena from continuing to speak: "According to the archaeology of recent years, the ancient gods do exist, and the Dragon of Dusk and the Sealed Moon are not legends, and the beliefs of the two major tribes of the barbarians are older than our civilization. ”
"Let's get straight to it."
Su Sun shook his head slightly—he didn't just believe that when he saw the giant tree, Su Sun knew that the authenticity of this mural was not far from ten.
Most of the natives of this world don't understand why at the beginning of the world, there was a strange tree standing between heaven and earth, but he knew much better, it was obviously a projection of the world tree.
And His decay means the defeat of the World Tree and the Twilight War.
As for Yelena, the reason why this knight who can control air and wind was discovered was of course because Su Sun was also good at playing with wind - the Great Zhou Tianlan species was indeed not suitable for Svetley's physique, but the previous experience made Su Sun's perception keen.
"Is that okay?" Yelena raised an eyebrow, and she looked at Gasha and Loya on the side, her tone hesitant.
The boys also noticed that the atmosphere was not ordinary now, so they all stood on Su Sun's side.
"Will anyone else show mercy because they don't know?" Su Sun asked rhetorically.
The weight of this answer is quite sufficient.
“…… Good. He was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's true." ”
Yelena took a breath, and she said in a deep voice, "Professor Svetley, you are a really smart person, you should understand that Master Suiguang's behavior is very wrong now. ”
"He's very dangerous now, even ten times more dangerous than the demonized Adama!"
Good fellow, what a familiar trick of words-
Anyone who is smart understands, Yelena, the old Riddler.
couldn't help but smile, who is Su Day? How could he be restrained by such simple words?
Therefore, the old man immediately shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't understand." ”
