I am God Chapter 526: : Wonderful world!
In the huge underground cavity.
The highest point on the top here is several thousand meters from the ground, and the shortest point is several hundred meters.
There is fresh air here, because there are all kinds of plants growing here, and they are all special plant species that are difficult to see on the surface.
Insects of all sizes are crawling around in the soil, and some special small flying insects that can emit fluorescence can be seen between the plants.
Many of the plants here glow faintly, especially with a layer of glowing moss covering the top, so it can sometimes give the illusion that this is not deep underground.
Different from the labyrinth cave on the previous floor, a special ecological cycle has been formed here.
However, the ecological environment here is very weak and monotonous.
There are no large plants and different types of large animals. At least from the current situation, the environment here is difficult to maintain a single large animal to survive here.
Among the florescent plants.
The two snake men, one big and one small, deviated from the normal path and walked towards the depths of the wilderness.
According to the standard data of snake people, the older one looks only twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one probably isn't even ten years old.
It's just that the two of them may not be called complete snake people. One of their upper bodies is covered with a layer of scales, which grow to the chest, and both hands have faintly degenerated into claw-like existences.
The other scale even covered the lower half of her face, and even her tongue was forked in two. When she walked, she almost completely stuck to the ground.
It is confusing.
Is this a snake man, or some kind of monster.
The older snake man: "Be careful, there are many basilisks in the wilderness."
The little snake man with scales covering his face wandered happily, talking in his mouth.
"Firefly!"
"What are we looking for, are we eating?"
When she speaks, she will pause a few words, giving people a dull feeling.
The girl named Ying said: "I heard people say that there is a passage leading to the upper floor."
The snake man lying on the ground and moving quickly asked suspiciously: "Even if you go, what can you do if you go up to the next floor?"
"No one can pass through that labyrinth of caves."
The elder sister who followed her said loudly: "But if you stay in the town any longer, you will soon become a pile of rotten meat."
"I don't want to..."
The girl named Yingying looked at her younger sister with a slight reproach: "It's all because of Sika, she always eats indiscriminately."
Xika stopped, turned her head to look at her sister, and let out a hey smile: "But I'm very hungry!"
After speaking, Sika lay limply on the ground. "I'm hungry again, I can't walk anymore."
Firefly wanted to say something else, but in the end she could only sigh.
He could only go up and hug his younger sister's body, pulling her up.
"Okay, don't make trouble."
"Sika!"
"We have to hurry, there is no time."
"If our escape from the town is discovered, someone will come after us."
Xika just got up, and the two were about to start again. Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of them, startling the two of them.
But upon closer inspection, it was not the basilisk they were afraid of, nor was it a person from the town.
It was a tall woman with a strange shape, wearing a layer of clothes they had never seen before, with a star pendant hanging around her neck.
The other party stood on a high place, looking at them from a distance.
Xika's body was more agile than his consciousness, and he raised his head to look at the other party: "What is that?"
Firefly's eyes are thinking and identifying each other, but her eyes are not very good, which is also a common problem of underground snake people: "Are you from the town?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several basilisks rushing out from behind the woman.
Terrifying monsters opened their mouths wide and attacked the woman, and the thick and huge figures set off wisps of smoke and dust.
Firefly immediately yelled at the man: "Basilisk, run!"
here
There are far more basilisks than the ones above, and they are everywhere in the wilderness.
However, the tall woman just turned her head, and an invisible force descended from the sky.
"Boom!"
Gravity crushed the ground in front of him, and pressed the basilisk into the ground together.
The layers of the large strata were cracked, and the movements were astonishing. Then.
The woman stepped forward and crushed each other's eyeballs one by one. After finishing all the basilisks, the other party stood on a high place and glanced at Hotaru and Sika before disappearing on the hillside.
Only the two people were left horrified and at a loss, staring blankly at the direction where Yin disappeared.
This underground cavity is really huge, and it is a completely new and unknown world.
The further Yin goes, the more obvious the traces of being human.
She has been following the traces of people, and after finding a few gathering places that were either abandoned or breached by basilisks.
Finally saw a town that was actually inhabited.
The reason why it is called a town is that it is divided according to the customs on the ground. Generally, villages will not build walls, and only towns will generally build them.
With a few taps of her toes, she straddled the ground and stood on the dirt wall of the town.
"Wow~"
It seemed that something important had happened in the town. Many people gathered in the center of the town and made various noises.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't heard this kind of noise for a long time, and Yin couldn't hear what these people were saying for a while, until her ears became familiar with the frequency of this sound, she finally heard these people clearly say something.
The accent is very similar to that of Shik, and most of the vocabulary can be understood, but there are also some nouns that are completely different from the snake people on the ground, which may be unique words here.
"Another person wants to leave the town and go to the top."
"The road to the top is blocked, is there still such a fool?"
"Everyone belongs to a part of the town, how can they leave casually."
"Is today's food delivered?" "It's not time yet."
"I have to listen to the whistle~"
Silver fell from a height and walked on the street. She wants to buy some food in town.
She hasn't eaten for a long time, and the only tasteful thing she has eaten recently is the sugary water Shik gave her.
The snake people in the town are somewhat similar to the two snake people Yin saw before, and they all have some mutations, and some people with severe alienation will also show the intelligence of the little snake people before low profile.
"Look at that person?"
"What happened?"
"She is not a snake person."
"Did it come in from outside?"
The appearance of Yin immediately aroused the onlookers and uneasiness of the town residents.
Many people came out and blocked the street.
Fortunately, she still has a face similar to that of a snake man, and she does not look like a monster who cannot communicate with her. Someone boldly stepped forward and asked her, "Where are you from?"
Silver told the other party: "I came down from above." The crowd fell into an uproar.
"Above?"
"Didn't she mean that she came from the ground?"
"Impossible!"
"The priest once said that everyone on the ground is dead."
"There are no traces of the city of life before, and there is no shelter from the mother of life, so all snakes enter the ground."
"That person should be from the city of gods."
"That's right, only God's Relic City has such an existence."
Everyone was arguing, and more people crowded over on the street, as if they wanted to see that strange man who was said to be wearing clothes and having no tail.
However, Yin had already left on her own, and when everyone came back to their senses, they could no longer find her.
Silver avoided the crowd and wandered around the town.
Walking in the streets and alleys, she intersects with people and never meets them head-on.
Although this is just a town, it can already reflect part of the situation in this underground world of snake people.
This place is not as primitive and wild as Yin just imagined, and there are a group of wild people
People.
These snake people developed a special civilization underground, and they should be a branch of the time when the snake people left the city of life.
At that time, some snake people went to the south, and they became the city-state people later. Some stayed in the middle, which is today's Wanshe people.
Some went to the north, and they are the current Aiweier people.
After living on the ground for a period of time, these snake people suddenly entered the ground due to an accident and disaster, and finally came here to multiply.
They believed in the mother of all snakes, and excavated and discovered many props left over from the ancient era in the earth. Their civilization was built on these props.
For example, this town was built around a prop called Huosuyin Lamp.
This town can rely on fire element silver lamps to produce pottery, bacon, and even produce a small amount of iron and other items to arm itself, and it can also resist the attack of the basilisk.
Finally, Yin came to a place that seemed to sell food.
Because there were many people queuing outside, Yin deliberately waited until there were few people before walking in.
"Please sell me something to eat."
The trafficker is a very fat snake man with a big belly and thinning hair.
With a fleshy face, he is holding a sharp knife.
Not surprisingly, the other party's body is also somewhat deformed, so the smile is extremely pervasive.
The butcher looked at Yin, then smiled.
"You are a big shot from the City of the Gods, right? I heard that the people there can control their distorted forms. I never thought that they could become such a perfect existence as you."
Different from the people on the ground, these underground people's concept of the shape of gods is not as deep-rooted as the people on the surface. Many people don't even know what a **** should look like.
Silver ignored him, and the butcher could understand that such a big man certainly didn't bother to say anything to a humble person like himself.
The butcher asked Yin: "What do you want?"
Silver asked: "Is there any meat?"
The butcher: "Do you want fresh ones?"
Silver must be fresh, don't put it for a long time or even stink. The other party showed a flattering smile, bent over and led this very noble existence towards the inside.
"Follow me."
"You can pick whatever you want, and you can get what you want." After walking through a passage, the tent curtain was opened.
Silver entered it, just looking up.
I suddenly saw a scene of horror and horror that was indescribable.
Even Yin, who had forgotten his expression because of walking in the dark for too long, opened his mouth slightly at this moment, and his pupils dilated because of the terrifying picture in front of him.
Several giant basilisks had their eyeballs gouged out, and were tied to huge long stone tables one after another. Their bodies were cut open one after another, and the bones could be seen deep.
More importantly, these basilisks are still alive. They wriggled and hissed inhaling. Silver looked at the butcher: "Do you eat this?"
The other party nodded: "Of course, this is the freshest, I can cut the meat for you right now."
Yin originally wanted to say that they were transformed from snake people.
But looking at the other party's expression, she knew that the other party knew.
Just.
He doesn't care.
Silver stared at the other person's eyes, which were not shiny at all, with a thick layer of white haze.
Silver finally turned around and walked outside silently.
The butcher was a little confused, so he shouted.
"Adult?"
"Adult?"
But as soon as I walked to the door, I heard a certain sound. "Woo hoo hoo!"
Silver looked back and frowned. with a wave.
She opened a door inside, and there was a figure hanging inside, struggling and making noises, trying to attract Yin's attention.
Silver's sharp eyes penetrated the darkness, and immediately found that the hanging figure was the person he had seen on the hillside before.
It is one of the pair of sisters, a girl named Yingying.
The butcher sees the silver and finds the depths
's secret, and he didn't panic at all, instead he stepped forward and introduced it calmly.
"My lord!"
"She violated a taboo and wanted to go up there."
"Anyone who breaks the taboo, anyone who wants to escape from the town, must pay the price."
Speaking of the word escape, the butcher's eyes showed fierce hatred. As if fleeing town was something heinous.
That look is like a shepherd who has seen a mature livestock jump out of the fence and escape.
"Everyone who was born in this town, from birth to death, everything they have belongs to this town, and now they want to escape."
"This is unforgivable, it is a crime."
"The fire chief caught them. They ate my meat before, and they have committed a great crime. Now they should use themselves to pay for it."
"However, she was caught not long ago, and she has not had time to feed her fluorescent plants and turn her into a snake."
"So let's hang here first."
In this fluorescent world, all food is problematic.
Whether it's those plants or those glowing bugs, once you eat too much, your body will become more and more deformed, and finally turn into a basilisk.
Even so, there is a problem with food. There was still not enough food.
However, when people face a crisis, they can always learn to change and then find a solution to the problem.
Soon, someone found a way to supplement food.
That is the basilisk.
The meat of the basilisk is not only durable, but some special methods are used to add nutrients to keep it active for several years, and the cut meat can also grow slowly.
Although eating the meat of the basilisk will make people turn into a basilisk faster, but no one cares at this point.
Snake people eat plants, eat bugs, eat basilisks.
Then turns into a basilisk. In the end, it was eaten.
In this way, these people survived here.
The butcher looked at Yin, as if he suddenly understood that Yin had looked at the goods before turning around and leaving.
That's because of dissatisfaction!
"I see, my lord."
"You said it's fresh, so it's such a fresh method!"
The butcher thought to himself, this big man from the City of Gods Leftovers is indeed much more picky, he dislikes the meat of the basilisk being unclean, and he wants to eat "clean meat" directly!
Fortunately, the butcher has also heard such rumors. "As long as you can afford the price, I now..."
However, Yin's voice became hoarse, and he interrupted the butcher's words.
"Stop talking!"
She raised her head, her white eyes shining brightly.
"Monster~"
Silver opened her mouth, spit out one byte after another, with cold emotions that belonged to her alone.
"You are monsters too!"
"You are...not human anymore."
The voice fell, and a huge force fell from a height. "Boom~"
The greed and ugliness on the face of the guy in front of him froze for a moment, and then he was instantly crushed into a puddle of meat sauce, and blood spattered the entire butcher shop.
It's just that when he was dying, he still didn't understand why Yin wanted to kill him.
He did nothing wrong.
As soon as Yin waved his hand, the girl hanging inside was put down.
The girl untied the rope, and then rushed outside. She looked at one long table after another, and finally lay powerlessly on a long table.
Then, there was a hoarse wail.
"Sika!"
"Sika... Sika!"
"Ah!"
Yin followed Yingying's gaze, and saw that one tied to the table had its eyeballs gouged out, and it had completely turned into a basilisk.
Several large holes were dug out of its body, exposing the white bones.
Infiltrating to the extreme.
But even so, it is still breathing and wriggling slowly.
She suddenly understood that among the meat sources that were just placed on the table for sale, there was one that she had seen before
The snake people.
If she came later, the girl in front of her would also be placed here.
On the streets of the town.
Yin dragged the three-meter-long basilisk towards the outside, and the girl followed him step by step.
Firefly's body wobbled, as if she had lost her soul.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from a distance.
"It's her!"
"That guy."
"It is said that it is from the city of the gods."
The ruler of the town, known as Huochang, brought a large group of people and surrounded the bank.
Yin looked at Huo Chang, and asked before the other party could speak. "Is he the one who sent you to the butcher shop?"
But what he asked was not the person in front of him, but the firefly behind him.
Firefly didn't answer, but her gaze already represented everything.
When Huo Chang saw Yin's appearance, he was shocked, and he understood that the other party should be extremely difficult to provoke, and that the other party asked questions as if he was going to make trouble, which made him raise his heart in his throat.
The head of the fire immediately raised the magic tool in his hand, the Huo element silver lamp, and urged the extraordinary flame to come.
It's just that the gravitational star on Yin's neck floated up before the flames could burst out.
A powerful force directly pressed everyone to the ground, unable to move.
Silver pushed forward again.
"Boom~"
The earth shook.
The people in the whole town were stunned, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
And when the other people got up to see the surrounding situation clearly, they screamed.
I only saw a **** mess in the middle of the street. The former fire chief and his subordinates were completely integrated together, and it was impossible to pick them out.
"Let's go!"
Finally, Yin carried an eyeball-less basilisk, picked up the Huosuyin lamp on the ground and walked out of the town.
No one dared to stop her again.
The snake-man girl named Yingying followed behind Yin, with her head deeply lowered, and followed outside.
Even when she reached the entrance of the town, she never looked back at her former hometown, even though she knew that she might not be able to come back.
The bonfire ignited by the magical props, the fire element silver lamp, illuminates a small area in the dark.
Silver sat next to the flame, watching the jumping flame carefully. No matter which era, no matter who it is, being able to watch the fire at night can always feel the heart can be quiet.
Yin was finally able to sit quietly without thinking about anything.
But at this time, a small voice came from the side.
"Sika."
"I told you not to eat indiscriminately."
"I said, let you go faster."
"I said..."
On the other side of the bonfire, Hotaru was hugging the basilisk, talking with her face against its skin.
The pool of rotten flesh is still alive, still wriggling weakly.
She caressed each other and murmured as if comforting a baby.
Finally.
Tears streamed down his face.
After a long time, the girl wiped away her tears, put her head on the basilisk's forehead and said.
"Don't be afraid."
"The pain will be gone soon, soon,
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
She got up and looked at Yin: "Can you lend me the lamp?"
Afterwards, the girl held the fire element silver lamp and faced the basilisk.
She raised the lamp in front of her, but did not move for a long time.
After a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and blew the fire towards the eyeless basilisk's body.
"Hoo!"
Blazing flames swept across the ground, devouring the eyeless basilisk.
The basilisk seemed to be whimpering faintly in the flames, but the sound soon disappeared, and finally it was burned clean, leaving only a mass of ashes.
After doing all this, the girl collapsed on the ground, and the silver lamp in her hand also fell to the ground.
In the dark.
Silver looked at this scene and suddenly spoke.
"Have you ever eaten other people's meat?
? "
Hearing Yin's question, the girl turned her head to look at her, her eyes were blank.
Silver looked down at the afterimage of ashes on the ground, and asked again.
"Did she become like this because she ate other people's flesh?"
At this time, the girl's expression turned into helplessness and shame.
"This is it."
"The law of our existence."
She looked at Yin, as if she wanted to see something.
However, Yin only has an expression that has gradually lost its change after living in the darkness for a long time, and those eyes that can distinguish the whites and eyeballs without looking carefully.
Yin looked at the girl in front of her. She held her face tightly, her fingers pressed her cheeks with white fingers, and even closed her eye sockets.
She said with despair: "We want to live, and we don't want to."
"Father and mother told us to leave here, there is a sun on the surface, there is endless food, and we will never become monsters on the surface."
"We want to go out into the world and get out of this **** place."
"But..."
"I can't get out!"
She fell to the ground, looked at the ashes on the ground, and wailed in despair.
"I can't get out!"
"We can't get out!"
Silver was silent.
In a trance, Yin suddenly thought of Shi Ke.
The shadow of that laughing to cover up the despair in his heart appeared in front of his eyes.
He doesn't look too mutated, he's skinny.
Perhaps, he also couldn't bear such purgatory, so he wanted to leave here.
Silver didn't ask the previous question again, and after a while, he asked Ying, who had finally recovered from the collapse, "Do you know where the altar of life is?"
Yingying looked blank: "Altar of life?" Then, she seemed to remember something.
"I seem to have heard my father talk about those ancient myths before. In the era of the mother of all snakes, there was an altar in the city of life, which was later placed deep in the earth by the great master of life."
Silver: "Then do you know other legends?"
Firefly racked her brains to think: "I don't know, but it is rumored that the altar of life was placed deep in the earth by the master of life, so it must be below the third floor."
Silver: "Under the third floor?"
Firefly tells Yin how the underground world is divided. "The first floor is the maze of the earth."
"The second floor is a fluorescent cave."
"The third layer of the dark sea, there is an ocean under the earth."
"However, I have heard it from others, and I have never really seen it."
Silver: "Is there only three floors?"
Firefly shook her head: "I heard that someone has gone deep into the Sea of Darkness before. I guess there is a deeper place under the Sea of Darkness, and that is where the Son of Titan came from."
Silver: "Do you know how to get to the Dark Sea?"
Firefly: "It is estimated that only people in the city of the gods know about it. There are many important people living there, and there are also priests of ten thousand snakes."
Silver understood the goal of the next stop, and finally she told the other party. "You take me to the city of the gods, and I'll tell you how to get to the ground." The girl froze for a moment, and was stunned for a long time.
Suddenly she approached Yin, and finally understood what the other party was talking about.
She opened her mouth wide, raised her head and looked at the existence in front of her who obviously did not belong to the Snakeman, her originally dark and gloomy eyes shone with incredible light.
She couldn't understand that the other party was able to say that he was going to the ground so lightly.
That is the surface world, a legendary place. Then there is only one possibility.
"Are you from the ground?"
Silver didn't answer, but under the jump of the flame, Firefly saw hope.
It was the first time she saw people coming from the ground. She had heard that there was a sun on the ground, illuminating the whole world.
Firefly asked the other party: "What's your name?"
Silver: "Silver!"
Firefly said in surprise: "My name is also Ying."
The pronunciation of their names is the same, but they represent two different meanings.
But firefly does not know
What is known is that not only do they have similar names, but they are also about the same age.
The tall and mature woman in front of her is actually a child.
Yin didn't chat with Yingying any more, but turned over and lay down, and even gave Yingying a blanket to cover her body, because they had to set off tomorrow, and both of them needed to recharge their energy, especially Yingying who was the guide. . Firefly also lay down.
First, she had a nightmare. In the dream, she was not saved by Yin, but turned into a basilisk along with her younger sister Sika, and became one of the sources of food for the town recently.
After the nightmare, she had another sweet dream.
She dreamed that she climbed out of the ground with her sister, walked out of the never-ending cave, and looked up at the sky without a top.
A huge fireball hangs in the sky, green plants cover from the front to the end of the sky, groups of animals run under the sun.
"Does it really exist?"
"What a beautiful world!"
Even in a dream, she couldn't believe it. There was a questioning murmur in his mouth.
