Chapter 510 True Greed
"Self-salvation? Ridiculous!"
The voice of a snake laughing loudly sounded in the watchman's head.
"What did I do wrong? What do I need to redeem? Like all of you, I am just a part of the world, just doing what I should do, why should I be deprived of my freedom by you, Imprisoned in this ghost place for eternity?"
"How do you think you're doing what you're supposed to be doing?"
The watchman frowned, and said in a puzzled voice: "You only know **** and create disasters. Wherever you Scourge Beasts pass by, the whole earth will be filled with sorrow and blood, and too many innocent creatures will die in your hands. Only in this way will other creatures hate you. This is the real reason why you will be imprisoned here! If you don’t change your nature and behavior, even if you escape this time, you will be imprisoned again sooner or later. captivity!"
"Other creatures? Innocent? Giggle..."
The snake laughed again.
"In the end, don't you still regard me as an imaginary enemy from the perspective of a 'biological'? Imprisoning me is not because of how 'innocent' you are, but because I have violated your interests!"
"You intelligent races always think that you are the masters of the world. In the name of 'survival', you can reshape the world arbitrarily and make the world more suitable for you to live in. But have you ever thought about the world's In itself, you 'creatures' are the real cancer!"
"Creatures in the real world do not have a lifespan mechanism. All creatures can survive forever with sufficient food and no fighting. This will definitely lead to more and more creatures in the world until they collapse. Our natural disaster The existence of beasts is to curb the flood of creatures, and by killing a large number of creatures on a regular basis, to ensure that the number of creatures in the entire world is always maintained within a controllable range, this is a necessary world balance mechanism!"
"And you intelligent races, whether you are the Protoss or you humans, are all equally selfish and greedy, so greedy that you try to reverse the world mechanism, make the whole world your appendage, and brazenly talk about 'protecting the world' name!"
"..."
For the first time, the watchman was speechless in the debate with Gu Snake.
Indeed, he has always looked at problems from the perspective of human beings, but from the perspective of the entire earth, human beings are moths. They are always trying to make their lives better, and for this reason they have made many irreversible changes to the world. Transformation, the Protoss is the same in the real world.
"Ridiculous! All of you are trying to imprison me in every possible way, but you don't know that some snakes are destined not to be locked in a cage. Every scale on it is covered with the glory of freedom! "The voice full of vigor in Gu Snake continued to come.
"Emmm, you remember your lines so clearly..." The beater turned weird.
What made him gratified was that Gu Snake had at least listened to and thought about his sermons carefully over the years. He was certain that the two snakes who were hit four thousand years ago would never be able to come up with such a logical and clear theory.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that after thousands of years of preaching, I failed to make it reform, but instead cultivated it into a ‘philosophical snake’, and really thought about the meaning of its own existence.
But now is not the time to consider such philosophical questions.
At this moment, the dark cave beasts deposited at the bottom of the dark cave have started to move again.
The dark cave beasts, which were originally calm, suddenly seemed to feel something extremely terrifying, and they scrambled to escape upwards. Like countless black waterfalls hanging upside down, they all began to climb up the surrounding mountain walls.
"Quickly think of a way! The real body of the snake is hidden among them!" The watchman shouted hastily.
The other people looked serious, but they didn’t need to explain to the watchman. When the watchman said that Gu Snake had escaped just now, combined with the gathering of dark cave beasts at the scene, they had already vaguely guessed the cause and effect.
"It's the incarnation of snake skin!" The lamp **** said with an ugly face: "Molting is a means of escape for snakes. This kind of incarnation can theoretically carry a very small part of the power of snakes..."
But in the case that the sealing gun is not damaged, Gu Snake should not be able to shed its skin, so he is not sure how Gu Snake did it now, but in short, Gu Snake obviously intends to mix in this group of dark caves Among the beasts, escape from birth!
The only good news is that it seems that snakes can't directly control these dark cave beasts to fight, otherwise they just need to let the dark cave beasts pounce on them, and they will be able to drink a pot.
Now it should just temporarily use some method to attract the dark cave beasts to collectively descend to the bottom of the cliff, and now it stimulates the power of fear, forcing them to flee in fright, and it escapes among them.
"It must be stopped immediately!" The lamp **** hurriedly said.
However, he can only say such a sentence without beginning and end. The question is, how to stop it?
The number of dark cave beasts is really too much. The area at the bottom of the dark cave is already astonishingly large, but at this moment the density of these dark creatures is so dense that it makes people dizzy at a glance.
There are hundreds of thousands of dark cave beasts, each of which can't see the shape, only a black mass. Such creatures are entangled in layers, almost swallowing all the light in the entire underground, trying to find a snake Even the location is impossible, so how can we stop it?
"How about it, do you want to make a wish?" The lamp **** hurriedly looked at Mu You.
Making a wish, relying on the power of miracles, is the only way he can think of now.
"Can you directly make a wish to destroy the incarnation with a snake?" Mu You asked.
"How is it possible, what are you thinking?" The lamp **** smiled bitterly: "Even if it's just an incarnation, it's still an incarnation of a snake! The power of miracles has limits, especially when it comes to dealing with a certain kind of existence. , the creatures whose combat strength exceeds mine are basically outside the scope of the wish."
"In short, it is impossible to directly deal with the opponent, but you can make a wish to kill other dark cave beasts in seconds, so that at least the position of the snake incarnation can be exposed!" The lamp **** said quickly.
"Is it just exposed..."
Mu You hesitated for a moment.
There is only one last chance to make a wish for free. The first two times, one was used to eliminate the army of millions of undead, and the other was used to resurrect the dead people on the earth. They were used in meaningful places, but now, they can only point out that the snake The position, no matter how you look at it, is a bit overkill.
The most important thing is, even if they find the position of the snake incarnation, can they stop the snake?
You must know that this is not an ordinary underground, but a dark cave, and there is boundless darkness above. As long as the snake does not want to fight and escapes wholeheartedly, and they escape from the light and escape into the darkness, they will have almost no possibility of finding the snake again. Here Whether he makes a wish or not, the result seems to be doomed...
"Don't worry, you don't need to..."
Just as Mu You was struggling, the voice of a herbal picker suddenly came from behind.
"Oh?" Mu You was about to turn his head, but he heard the exclamation of the watchman from the other side: "Look over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a long and slender shadow suddenly appearing at the foot of one of the dark cave beasts on a distant mountain wall in the light.
This also applies to the snake skin of a snake. After all, this thing was also born in a dark cave and has the same light-eating properties. Therefore, it is theoretically impossible to distinguish a snake by its shadow.
However, at this moment, a shadow appeared under the feet of a dark cave beast.
Not only that, this shadow is still rapidly elongating and spreading, and in the blink of an eye, it expands into a circular shadow with a radius of several meters, and the edges are filled with a lot of jagged shapes, like a ball of 'fried hair'
This familiar shape immediately reminded Mu You of something: shadow pompoms!
The outline of this thing is exactly the same as the shadow pompom, but it is dozens of times larger than the shadow pompom.
After the circular shadow appeared, it opened its 'mouth' like the little yellow ball in Pac-Man, exposing two rows of jagged teeth, then closed it, and swallowed the cave beast connected above it in one gulp.
"Roar!"
The moment it was swallowed, there was a roar from high above.
In the next second, the mouth of the shadow ball just closed was forced open by two black hands from inside, and then a black snake head came out from the shadow, with the snake neck and body behind. … are all digging out little by little, as if trying to escape from the shadow.
However, when the black snake got out to the final snake tail, the stretched shadow closed again, biting the snake tail firmly.
The black snake suddenly writhed and struggled violently on the rock wall, and a large number of dark cave beasts passing nearby were slapped down by it, and the rock wall was also cracked inch by inch.
But no matter how hard Black Snake struggled, he still couldn't get rid of the shadow behind him, so he could only forcibly drag the shadow ball to move.
A few seconds later, as the black snake moved to the boundary illuminated by the enchantment light, and was about to rush into the darkness, the shadow ball behind it suddenly seemed to be stuck by something, and could no longer move forward an inch, and even made the black snake The escape was also forced to stop.
Everyone looked from below, as if an iron ball was tied to the tail of a snake. The snake wanted to drag the ball through the fence. The snake passed through the fence, but the iron ball was caught by the railing. No matter how much the black snake struggled, it couldn't escape.
"This is…"
Mu You turned back to look at the herb picker immediately, and told him intuitively that all this was directly related to the evil clone.
"Hold it and you'll understand."
The herb picker seemed to have expected that Mu You would ask, and without further ado, he threw the archiver in his hand over.
Mu You caught it subconsciously.
The moment he got the short metal stick, Mu You suddenly felt that there were many scattered memories in his mind.
He didn't store the state in the archiver, but the herb picker did, and Mu You inherited his memory. With this touch, those memories that the herb picker used magic to hide were revealed immediately.
Mu You quickly digested this part of the new memory, only then did he realize that the herb collector had noticed Gu Snake's small movements of preparing to "break out of prison" from the very beginning.
But he didn't say anything, because he had a greedy heart: the herb collector realized that this might be an opportunity to capture a snake for his own use!
As we all know, the body of the snake is too powerful. Even the top gods such as the **** of order and the **** of chaos have to bring a group of subordinates to barely retreat. It is wishful thinking to subdue the snake.
It is precisely because of this that no one in history has ever dared to attack the Scourge Beast, and it is too late to hide this kind of thing.
But now, under the long-term captivity, Gu Snake began to yearn for freedom, and prepared to use the characteristic of shedding skin to create an incarnation to escape from prison.
The power of the incarnation is naturally far inferior to that of the snake body, but it is precisely because of this that it is possible to subdue it.
The snake skin shed by a snake, before the transfer of will, is dead skin without feeling, because it is close to the surface of the snake body and integrated with the snake body, it is difficult to find without careful observation.
The herbal picker also stumbled upon the snake's little trick by accident.
Afterwards, he immediately drew up a plan, asked Linglong for a shadow pompom, and then transferred the shadow pompom under the dead skin without anyone noticing, using the shadow pompom's ability to cut and devour shadows, and began to eat them bit by bit. The shadow of the snake skin allows the shadow pompom to grow rapidly by absorbing the power of the snake.
Whenever a snake sheds a trace of snake scale, the shadow pompom immediately swallows the shadow of the snake scale. After a long time, its breath has completely integrated with the snake scale. Even without the cover of the herbal picker, it can still breathe Unknowingly move under the snake's skin without being noticed by the snake.
It's just that the whole thing must be carried out carefully, neither by the snakes nor by the beaten people Linglong and the others.
One reason is that this is an extremely bold plan. The prerequisite for capturing the snake is to let the snake complete its "jailbreak" plan first, so that its incarnation can escape successfully.
And in this process, if something goes wrong, causing the shadow pompom to fail to capture, allowing the snake to escape and ascend to heaven, it will be regarded as a complete play, and the consequences will be incalculable.
Based on the nature of Dabaoren and Linglong, neither Daengren nor Linglong would agree to this kind of thing. Telling them, they will only sabotage his actions.
Secondly, the snake is extremely sensitive to the perception of the emotions of intelligent creatures, especially when the snake is concentrated, as long as you stand near the snake and the evil thought of wanting to capture him flashes in your mind, it will definitely be noticed immediately! Then the whole plan will still be in vain.
Because of this, the herb picker not only needs to keep this matter a secret from everyone, even himself, every time before going underground, he has to use the Amnesia Curse to forget all the memories about capturing the snake, and then use the archiver to restore it later. Memory, and then continue to secretly control the shadow pompom digesting the snake's shadow.
The reason why the herb picker became more and more silent and withdrawn later on was precisely because the incident brought too much pressure and required extreme secrecy. He could not reveal a word or reveal any flaws. Only by pretending to be a lunatic who is obsessed and devoted to potions, can he appear more natural.
In this way, for the next four thousand years, when the snake was carefully and secretly planning to escape from the prison, it did not know that its actions had already been seen through, and that there were still people who were using its plan in reverse to secretly plan a bigger one. conspiracy…
"This, too risky..."
Quickly sorting out these memories, Mu You suddenly looked at the herbal picker with sweat on his forehead, but he remembered what Linglong had said to him before: "True greed is ignoring risks and seeking things that are not available! "
Now, Mu You has a solid understanding of this sentence.
Undoubtedly, the trait of greed is in the herbal picker, but his greed is not Linglong's kind of petty tricks to take advantage of it, but the real greed - actually trying to spend four thousand years in vain, Take a Scourge Beast for your own use!
This kind of thing, I am afraid that even the demon **** himself in the past dare not imagine...
Sure enough, the moment Mu You recovered this part of the memory, the part of the Demon God's Bone related to 'greed' was silent for an instant, digesting it more thoroughly and quickly than the previous five personalities.
