The sun is high - #196 - Chapter 195 Calculation
When he saw this chaotic black shadow, Xiuge had already made many different assumptions.
Whether it was attacking him along this street, or trying to block the road and block his progress, Shuge could accept it in his heart.
But now, it made a move that Xiuge had never thought of before.
Seeing such an inhuman existence, imitating real humans and bowing to him, Xiuge felt an extremely strong sense of astonishment, and this abnormal behavior showed that there was something extremely powerful that appeared in front of him. It may not be the individual descendants of the Dark Abyss wandering in Salem City, but the terrifying monster that is now hiding underground in Salem City and has grown sufficiently.
Xiuge could even tell that the dark figure was using very standard Walter etiquette!
“What the hell.”
Xiuge stared at the strange figure for two seconds. When he saw that the other person did not do anything else, but still maintained a humble posture of bowing, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
The reason why he was able to hunt down the descendants of the Dark Abyss in Salem City so easily and quickly was because of his understanding and knowledge of these terrible creations. Even though they had swallowed up human memories and started to learn knowledge from them, That beast-like instinct is always their most primitive driving force.
As long as the descendants of An Yuan continue to uphold this nature of their own, Xiuge will have the confidence to carry out subsequent planning and hunting based on this.
On the contrary, if they grow too fast and thus possess the wisdom and rationality to curb or even overturn their instincts, then Xiuge must change the existing strategies and methods and face them with a new attitude. .
And now, this figure standing in the middle of the road and saluting seemed to be confirming this bad trend to Shuge.
“walk over.”
Shuge gave instructions to the running rat, so Snitch cautiously led Shuge closer.
It has always regarded the descendants of An Yuan as “food”, but now, it can also be keenly aware of the specialness of the target ahead. Unfortunately, it does not know how to describe this specialness, and can only keep asking Xiuge Send warning signs to show your concern.
Soon, Xiuge came to the front of the group of figures.
Probably because of the fear of light, this chaotic figure always stood in the shadow, neither retreating nor moving forward. When Xiuge came to a place a few meters in front of it, this dark figure Then he slowly straightened up.
The next moment, the black glue that made up the figure’s head began to twist and change continuously. Under Xiuge’s close observation, eyes, mouth, and other organs that imitated the human facial structure were formed one after another. When they were first formed, There was still a deviation in the position, but with the continuous adjustments of the An Yuan descendant in front of him, its organs were finally “fixed” in the correct position.
Although the specific nose and ears seem a bit redundant for a humanoid shape made of flowing gel, it does indeed do this, as if it can only truly have a specific appearance and shape. It’s the same as closing the distance with Xiuge.
Looking at the face in front of him that seemed very standard but definitely not human, Xiuge actually felt a little disgusted.
But this chaotic face did not stop there. It was still changing, so specific lines, contours and facial features were gradually shaped. It even simply imitated the line texture of the hair.
Then, a young man with a slightly blurry face appeared in front of Xiuge. Unfortunately, the skin and body of this “young man” were still the kind of gelatin that kept flowing, which made it impossible to escape from the “magic creation” identity of.
Xiuge looked at the other person carefully. At this moment, he could already feel the power filled in this human form.
Different from the individual descendants of An Abyss who acted alone before, the seemingly thin human form in front of him actually has extremely abundant reserve power, and this shows that Xiuge’s previous guess was not wrong – he came in front of him is actually an extension of the will of the descendant of An Yuan. It seems that it hopes to have some preliminary communication with itself.
The human figure took a step forward slightly, opened its mouth, and the chaotic tone unique to the descendants of An Abyss came out of its mouth: “Your Excellency, I will say hello to you.”
Just like the standard Walter etiquette it used before, its words were also very polite and even used honorifics.
If this humanoid figure could really simulate a human appearance at this moment, then it would probably be able to easily blend into human society.
“It seems that you have learned etiquette from human memory, so you should also be able to understand that in today’s situation, etiquette is meaningless…”
When there was no warning sign in the spiritual world, Xiuge also took a step forward. He stared at the other person and said, “Be more direct. What do you want to say to me?”
Hearing Xiuge’s words, the dark chaos that made up the human form surged slightly as if it was thinking, and then it said: “Stop the conflict… This is meaningless, you and I are the same kind, Should come together as one.”
“Come together as one?”
Shuge smiled: “Do you mean that I should be swallowed by you like food, or are you willing to contribute your memory and strength to me?”
As a huge subject that has gathered countless knowledge, memories and power and has begun to digest and learn deeply, their ability to express and describe has far exceeded those individuals who can only make poor imitations, but they still have some understanding of some more complex concepts. There are barriers to understanding.
After hearing Xiuge’s words, the human figure stopped in place as if it was “down”. The chaotic colloids were beating and flowing at an extremely fast speed. This seemed to be something they were trying to think about. kind of performance.
After a while, An Yuanzi finally seemed to understand what Xiuge meant, so it spoke again: “Your Excellency… you are wrong.”
Under Xiuge’s somewhat surprised gaze, the “messenger” extended from the main body of An Yuan’s descendants said in a tone that was very similar to the negotiators among humans: “The integration will be thorough and equal. …You will have our power, and we will also benefit from your wisdom and guidance.”
Xiuge was slightly startled, so he asked: “My guidance? Does it mean that you are willing to obey my command and obey my orders?”
So the dark figure replied in a matter-of-fact tone: “When we gather as one and are indistinguishable from each other… then the wisest and most powerful will should take the lead.”
After saying that, the figure closed its mouth and stood quietly, as if waiting for Xiuge’s thinking and response.
This opinion of An Yuan’s descendants set off a storm in Xiuge’s heart.
At a certain moment, he actually wavered. Perhaps because he had hunted and absorbed the power of many An Abyss descendants before, Xiuge found that he did not have much resistance to this rather terrifying-sounding suggestion. Emotions, and even a little “yearning” faintly arose.
And during this short period of thinking, a coveting and greedy desire for that huge power actually emerged from the depths of Xiuge’s heart.
This strong desire that had never appeared before was so primitive and fierce that Shuge’s spiritual world was actually shaken by it.
The messenger in the mirror “sat” silently behind the desk. He raised his head and looked out of the metal disk. There was a hint of yearning in his eyes made of mist.
“Something’s wrong!”
Xiuge’s will was still firm after all. He was not lost in the impact of desire at that moment. Instead, he forcibly woke up from the wavering. As for the impulse welling up in his heart, he also forcibly suppressed it. Go down.
And the moment he reacted, the pitch-black figure standing in front of Shuge seemed to sense something. The chaotic colloid that made up its body twisted again, and its human-like face turned out to be extremely human. A look of disappointment.
So the colloids twisted again. This time, it seemed that it was no longer limited to the normal human form, but began to transform towards the original state of the descendant of An Abyss.
Countless mouths grew out of the surging darkness. They opened and closed, conveying their chaotic words to Xiuge: “Integration will be the only way for us… If you can’t make a decision, then Then we should take the lead…”
Along with its words, Shuge began to feel extremely distinct hostility. At the same time, he also captured strange fluctuations coming from near him.
However, these descendants of An Yuan obviously do not know that in the past period of time, striking first has gradually become a habit of cultivation and even a life creed.
Therefore, the moment he sensed the threat, he already acted instinctively.
Xiuge did not give the descendants of the dark abyss a chance to continue talking nonsense. Several touches of Charron that had been preparing for a long time suddenly rolled out. Those sharp jointed limbs wrapped with strong magic power destroyed the dark group in front of him in an instant. Yuan Zisi was cut off from the main body, and then the mist of the messenger in the mirror suddenly poured out, completely blocking and isolating the spiritual connection between it and the huge main body.
At this moment, the offspring that had lost contact with the main body finally screamed and neighed in panic.
However, before it could make any more moves, Xiuge applied his most proficient hunting process to it. In the blink of an eye, the group of offspring that had just been communicating with him suddenly disappeared. Tear into pieces that are “easy to digest”.
The running rat swooped forward, its three tails with sharp barbs and the blessing power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth swept across the street in front of it fiercely and quickly, defeating the black slime that tried to get out of the gaps in the street. In just a few seconds, all the power, memory and thinking possessed by the descendants of An Abyss had been absorbed by Xiuge.
Then, a series of magic patterns appeared near the metal cane, and two fireballs that were hot enough to cause impact and explosion fell towards the collapsed buildings on both sides of the street. Then, several long snakes made of flames burrowed directly into the street. Those gaps in the top send deadly high temperatures into it.
An extremely unpleasant pungent smell spread in the air, but these magical flames were not enough to cause serious damage to the huge number of descendants of the Dark Abyss. They were just simple delaying strategies.
The moment the spell was cast, Shuge climbed onto Snicki’s furry back again, and with the excellent running speed of the three-tailed giant rat, he headed towards the end of the street.
But Xiuge did not relax his vigilance because he successfully stayed away from the encirclement of An Yuan’s descendants. He immediately opened the magic book and tore out a ritual page used to cover the magic fluctuations and breath. After injecting magic power, this A solid ritual immediately wrapped up Xiuge and the Running Rat.
After successfully using magic rituals to isolate his own breath, Xiuge finally relaxed a little. Behind him, the dark mud trying to get out of the cracks in the road had been far away.
Xiuge quickly calmed down his breathing. He had actually felt a very strong threat just now. At the moment when hostility appeared, Xiuge realized that the number of An Yuan’s descendants lurking nearby might far exceed his expectations and Imagine.
“Their growth rate is indeed too exaggerated… I am afraid that the survivors in Salem City and the head of the Legal Committee responsible for sealing the city would not have thought that these monsters have actually been able to take advantage of the conspiracies that originally belonged to humans. And trickery.”
Xiuge carefully recalled everything that had happened before in his mind, but he felt an inexplicable chill.
Quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes.
Even now, the main body of the descendants of the Dark Abyss hiding in the underground of Salem City are still using some very rudimentary and clumsy strategies, but they obviously have the ability to use their own wisdom to deal with and confront humans.
Beasts are not scary.
But if a beast not only has a strong body and sharp claws, but also has a brain comparable to other intelligent creatures, then it will be a bit troublesome.
Unlike the changelings, once the magical creatures digest their prey, they will completely adapt to the victim’s original memory and identity, and try to continue in this world with their past identities. on survival.
Fundamentally speaking, when they adapted to this change, the original “changeling bugs” disappeared and were replaced by another intelligent creature walking under the sun.
But the descendants of An Abyss obviously prefer their current status and identity.
All the acquired knowledge and memories are just tools for them to enhance their hunting efficiency and enhance their own strength.
“They seem to have realized their shortcomings and flaws… That’s why they are so eager to get my ‘join’.”
Xiuge said to himself: “It seems like I have to be more careful in my next actions.”
