Chapter 11 Chapter 23

Three identical "silver dust" had retreated from the stone room.No one knows where they went.They looked dark and gloomy, like three ghosts from hell, maybe they returned to the ground again at this moment.But the eerie feeling still enveloped everyone in the stone room.Theresa's face was still pale and bloodless.Her eyes flickered all the time, and no one knew what she was thinking.At this moment, various fragments were rapidly recalled in her mind, as if there was an invisible rope that tied all the unimaginable things together with the various changes that had happened in the past few years.She had a feeling that she was about to touch Aslan's greatest secret, but the rope hadn't been fully revealed yet, it was still transparent, so everything hadn't been completely straightened out yet.

"I want to take you to a place. This place has never been disclosed to any prince before. Therefore, what you are about to see is a secret with the highest authority of Aslan. When you walk out of this stone room, you will be led by a silver envoy. You, you just need to follow him. I will wait for you there." As soon as the words fell, the faint blue light in the stone room disappeared instantly.The huge crystal wall turned into a hard stone wall again. The Silver Messenger leading the way always hid his face in his deep hood.The gloomy feeling in Treya's heart never dissipated, she even had the illusion that the person leading the way in front had a face exactly like Yin Chen's.It is even possible that the hundreds of silver envoys in the heart are all silver dust.

Thinking of this, Teresa shivered.She turned her head to look at You Ming, he was silent, his eyes were like hooks, tightly grasping the back of the silver messenger in front of him. Teresa withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was already a white storm in her pupils.As she walked deep underground with Nether and Qila, she activated her talent for soul perception to the maximum. However, her detection of soul power was blocked everywhere, and she felt as if she was locked in a small space No matter how long the tentacles are, the octopus can't stretch out. The underground seems to be unimpeded, but every floor and even every place is covered with seals that block the soul power.

Treya could only give up, followed silently, and walked forward. After going down about six floors, they came to a place that looked like the entrance of a canyon cave.The Silver Emissary walked to the entrance, and there was another Silver Emissary who was also wearing a robe, cloak, and hood, and could not see his face, waiting at the door. The silver messenger turned around and nodded at them, disappeared into the darkness without saying anything. The new silver envoy walked towards the three of them, his hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, "Three lords, it is my honor to lead the way for you. The place you are going to is called, this is the Aslan domain, One of the secrets that can only be obtained with the highest authority at present. After entering the Protoplasma Cave, please do not use any soul power at will, and please seal all your Horcruxes and Soul Beasts in your body, otherwise, all silver messengers have the power Take necessary actions against you at any time." He paused, and continued, "Including killing you if necessary."

You Ming's pupils tightened. As the king of killing, he was threatened to be killed. Isn't this a joke? He smiled evilly, and his cold voice was like a sword drawn out of its sheath in the darkness, "What did you say? Say it again." The Silver Messenger turned his face to look at him. In the shadow under the hood, his eyes gleamed with a gloomy light. Without the slightest fear, he repeated what he just said calmly, "Including when necessary, Killing of you." You Ming remained silent, no longer speaking. The Silver Messenger seemed satisfied with the answer, so he turned around, "Please follow me."

After entering the canyon, the road is still very narrow, and a group of people can only pass through the narrow space between the two cliffs one by one, and cannot walk in parallel. After walking for about ten minutes, a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.What followed was intense humid heat, and a smell in the heat that made people want to vomit—it seemed to be the smell of countless pieces of meat exuding mucus mixed together, and it was like the smell of a woman's womb. foul smell.Teresa raised her hand and covered her nose. At the end of the line of sight, there was a faint dark red light, which looked indescribably evil.

Treya turned her face to the side, and whispered to Nether: "It is impossible to have magma or fire elements in the underground of Aslan, how can there be red light?" You Ming shook his head, a deeper darkness shrouded his brows and eyes. Qi La walked behind them, showing no emotion on his expression. "Here we are." The Silver Messenger stopped. At this moment, they were standing on a bridge that spanned in mid-air, surrounded by vertical cliffs, and under their feet was a dark red pothole that looked like a swamp.From time to time, a huge bubble popped up on the surface of the red slurry-like water, and the moment it burst, a strong nauseous smell surged up.The tunnel just now leads all the way here, and it seems that this is the end.

"What is so disgusting?" Theresa covered her nose and asked impatiently, "What are you going to show us?" The Silver Messenger smiled lightly and said, "Please wait a moment, the three princes, and you will find out soon." Teresa had no choice but to stop talking and wait quietly.During this process, she attempted to detect the distribution of soul power in this space again, but, as expected, she failed.The surroundings are densely packed with soul power seals set by the silver priests, and Treya's perception cannot even penetrate the surrounding cliffs and stone walls.

Just as Treya withdrew her soul power and her pupils became clear again, the swamp under the stone bridge began to gurgle, and the surface of the thick dark red slurry slowly bulged, as if some giant was awakening from below.Teresa lowered her head, and then, she couldn't help but bent over and vomited. You Ming suppressed the fear in his heart, his pupils trembled, and he witnessed the thing that emerged from the dark red slurry... that thing he didn't know what to call it.A huge and naked female body that looked three times the size of a normal person surged out of the surface of the slurry first, her hair was wet and glued to the body by the slurry, a huge face that should have facial features, but no eyes There are no eyebrows and no bridge of nose, only a sunken blood hole is left at the position of the mouth, and in that blood hole, at the moment, strange screams similar to pain and happiness are constantly coming out.However, that wasn't what made Teresa vomit.The real reason is that when the female body surfaced, her lower body was also exposed to the surface of the water - it was a large mass of wriggling white soft flesh, like a whole giant flesh worm, which was attached to her. Below her body, her entire lower body is like a spindle-shaped fleshy worm, with raised folds ringing on it, constantly shrinking and wriggling, she looks like the fat queen in a termite nest.At the bottom of the worm's body, a huge blood hole is opening and growing. As the folds continue to squirm and shrink, the screams of the female body become louder and louder. You Ming suddenly understands that this monster is giving birth!

A person's head was excreted from the huge blood hole bit by bit, and then the whole body was completely expelled from the body. At this moment, the newborn flesh that looked like a fetus was quietly floating on the viscous red slurry.And the huge female body stopped moaning, and the huge insect body also stopped wriggling. You Ming's pupils shrunk into a slit, trembling constantly, because he finally understood where the three identical silver dusts came from. In the blood plasma, what is delivered from the female body is not a young fetus, but an adult body.His slender and powerful limbs, his broad chest, his strong muscles pulsating from time to time, and most importantly, his delicate and cold face, even though it was covered in red blood plasma and his eyes were still closed, Still asleep, but You Ming, Treya, and Qi La were all able to confirm that familiar face with 100% confidence.Brand new silver dust lying in blood plasma.Two silver envoys quickly salvaged the newly born "silver dust" that was still sleeping from the puree, transported it out of the cave, and sent it to an unknown place.

Qi La and You Ming were still immersed in shock, completely silent. Treya squatted on the ground, bent over, and vomited from time to time. "It seems that everyone is really shocked." The voice of the Silver Messenger resounded throughout the huge cave in the mountain, "I just told you that this is one of the most authorized secrets in the Aslan Empire. Next, On behalf of Priest Baiyin, I will convey information to you for the purpose of dispelling your doubts. If you are still unclear, please find another opportunity to ask the priest face to face. My authority is limited to this." When the Silver Messenger said this, he stopped, and looked at the three princes in front of him who had been defiant and ruled the world. At this moment, they were all immersed in great shock, with dazed and frightened expressions on their faces. Ice and snow pride. "What you just saw is the creature that can give birth to an 'advanced container'. She is half plant and half animal, and her body shape has both female and insect characteristics. She has no thought, only the function of reproduction. She can transfer The fragments of the body planted in her mother's body will reproduce and breed the same replica as the original body that provided the fragments. The more fragments of the body provided, the more complete they will be, and the replicas will be almost 100% identical. Her strength lies in that no matter the Whether the body of the body is dead, or even whether it has been cut and cannot be separated, as long as the body itself is intact and the fragments are not lost, then Bingzhi can recreate a body that is almost exactly the same." "What are these bodies used for?" Teresa's eyes flickered. "It is used to allow the silver priest to plant the latest soul circuit to maintain Aslan's combat strength and continue to evolve." The silver messenger looked at Thereya, and under the shadow, the corner of his mouth slightly slanted, "Actually, this Isn't it very similar to the creation of the Corruptor? Lord Theresa, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with it. " Teresa gritted her teeth, and a layer of frost covered her face, "Then why, all the copies are made of silver dust? What's so special about his body?" "Because Yinchen's body is the closest to Gilgamesh's body structure that we have found in the entire Aslan field." "Since when did you copy Yinchen's body?" Treya asked. "You should know best, Lord Theresa," the Silver Messenger smiled, his voice echoing in the empty cave, which sounded very strange, "You were the one who watched him be chopped into pieces back then. That pile of fragments is our original Primarch." "Then who transported Yin Chen's body back to the heart?" You Ming asked, "When I went to look for Thereya, Yin Chen's body was still left by the lake, no one answered, and it was about to rot." "The person who brought back Yin Chen's body was the highest authority in Aslan, the Ice Empress Aios." When the Silver Messenger mentioned this name, his tone became obviously respectful. "It turned out to be him..." Treya obviously didn't expect it, she paused, and her tone became puzzled again, "But just now, it seems that the body that you call the 'advanced vessel' after giving birth is not conscious Right? Then, if according to what you said, the reproduction started after Yin Chen was killed, then why does that Yin Chen who was once the apostle of the sky still have memories? It means that he has been resurrected? Can you copy even your memories?" "No." The Silver Messenger replied flatly, "However, Aios has a unique talent that belongs to him." "What do you mean?" Teresa asked. "This is beyond the scope of my answer. I have said a bit too much. If you have a chance to meet the silver priests, you can ask them in person." The silver messenger's face was hidden in the shadow of the hood again. . Teresa was still lying obliquely on her soft couch covered with curtains. Where her skirt was parted, two snow-white and slender legs were exposed, full of elasticity and softness. Any man who saw it, It's hard not to be tempted. However, at this moment, You Ming, who was reclining beside her, did not look at the coquettish Thereya at all. His slender eyes seemed to be hidden in the shadow of the brow bone, and at this moment they were shining with a green light. In the entire empty room, there was no light source other than the flickering candles.At this moment, all the guards and maids have also retreated.There were only the two of them in the room.The two of them remained silent for a long time in the dark, and their minds were still filled with the horrifying scene they had just seen in the protoplasma cave, the surging red viscous slurry, and the huge worm-like female body. Nether's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a deep and magnetic voice echoed in the room, "What do you think about the current situation?" "My thoughts are also very messy now, and I feel that the development of the whole situation has far exceeded our expectations. Moreover, there are many things that I didn't understand before, and I can almost figure out a general idea now. But there are Some key places always feel disconnected, and the most critical chains are missing." There were dancing candles flickering in Theresa's pupils. "for example?" "For example, a piece of information I just got made me overturn my previous conclusion that Qila was on Gilgamesh's side." "What information?" "The two problematic pieces in the soul tomb were actually swapped by Qi La in secret." Treya looked at You Ming and said word by word. "Why did Qi La do this?" You Ming frowned even deeper. "This goes back to the very beginning. You received an order to hunt down Guishan Lianquan and Guishan Seam Soul, and I received an order to send the message of 'capturing the chain of resurrection as a Horcrux' to Guishan Lianquan and Tianjianyou It took the time of the two apostles. At that time, we received instructions that Guishan Seam Soul and Guishan Lianquan had rebelled, but we don’t know the truth. Now it seems that it’s good to hunt down the Guishan brothers and sisters. Whether Lianquan and Youhua are killing each other, it's all for one purpose." You Ming didn't interrupt her, because he knew that at this moment, she was trying to find the ultimate secret behind the whole thing. "Similarly, Qi La's secret exchange of chess pieces must have been the order of the silver priest. All of this is for that purpose, that is: to prevent Gilgamesh's resurrection, and at the same time hunt down the camp that once belonged to Gilgamesh." "However, since you want to hunt, why didn't you kill Gilgamesh completely, or kill Yin Chen? Why continue to resurrect Yin Chen, and even give him a new soul circuit to become the seventh-degree prince?" "Because after Gilgamesh was completely imprisoned, Silur, who had the talent to open the 'Blood Pond' seal, was also imprisoned on that island forever. The only people who knew the truth at the time were Zila and you. , the three of me. If it wasn’t for the leak of this secret, then everything would have been peaceful, and the catastrophe would gradually be forgotten by people and become a permanent secret.” You Ming asked: "The secret leak you mentioned means that Guishan Seam Soul and Guishan Lianquan claim to have met the silver priest in the corridor of the abyss, and the silver priest revealed the secret himself?" Teresa replied: "Yes. At the beginning, I didn't believe this rumor. Because everyone knows that the silver priest has never left the heart of Grant from the beginning of his birth thousands of years ago. Regardless of whether they are unwilling to leave the huge crystal area, or their bodies are restricted and cannot leave, according to historical records, the incident of "meeting the silver priest in the corridor of the abyss" itself It's ridiculous. However, when the situation became more and more uncontrollable, and the silver priest gave us more and more instructions, and the level was getting higher and higher, and finally developed into a confrontation with Ghost Mountain brothers and sisters, Yin Chen , Qi Ling, Tianshu Youhua and others mass murdered, I knew that things must be far from as simple as we know. Maybe that rumor is true..." "That is to say, the reason for the impeccable hunting plan for Gilgamesh was not, as the silver priest said, that Gilgamesh might betray?" You Ming looked at Thereya, unable to bear it. asked, "But having said that, in that battle, I was only responsible for dealing with those ferocious spirit beasts, and the only ones who really participated in the hunting and killing of Gilgamesh were you and Qila. To be honest, until now, I I didn't even ask you, how did you do it? With Gilgamesh's soul power, his talent, and his almost unparalleled top-level Horcrux, it is impossible for you to imprison him. Treya's eyes flickered, as if she was immersed in the boundless memories, "When this plan was first made, all of us who participated in the operation thought that the possibility of this operation's success was almost zero. At that time, Everyone knows that Gilgamesh is in a near-peak position across the entire Aslan, and even in the entire continent of Odin. At that time, if Qila hadn't proposed such an incredible but impeccable plan, I would never have Will be on that hunt." "In that operation, I only knew the part, but didn't know the core. When I woke up from the battle, everything was over. Gilgamesh had already been sent to the prison you prepared for him in the legend, And I never came out again. I asked you later, but you said that my scope of authority has not been reached, so you didn't tell me. I am still wondering, I am a second-degree prince, second only to Xiuchuan Zang, how come the permission is not granted?" "The hunting operation was very difficult, and as long as the core content was leaked, it would never succeed. Therefore, the only person who really knew the whole process of that operation was Qi La. During the communication with the Silver Priest, I inadvertently learned about the whole process. You also know that, as far as Gilgamesh’s soul power is concerned, no matter how much forgiveness or freedom hurts him, as long as he does not die, relying on his ability to refine the soul power to With the pinnacle of control and his almost overwhelmingly powerful Horcrux, even if he has only a tiny bit of soul power left, it is almost an impossible task to imprison him. Therefore, all our bets are on that one A brief moment—the moment when his soul power was interrupted." "Interruption of soul power? You mean..." You Ming frowned. "Yes, you guessed right. When the soul master hunts the soul beast, when he finally successfully captures the soul beast, transforms the soul beast into an energy body, and subdue it in the noble seal, at this moment, there will be a very The short-term interruption of soul power is because the soul beast was disorderly and ferocious when it first entered the Jue Yin. Yinzhong calmed down, and the whole body's soul power returned to normal. And Qi La, taking advantage of this moment, sent Gilgamesh directly to the place of imprisonment prepared for him with a pawn. " "But once Gilgamesh's soul power recovers, it will be difficult to imprison him no matter what kind of place is it? Where is he locked up?" Nether asked. "Gilgamesh is locked in the deepest underground under the island of Sileu. In order to imprison Gilgamesh, the silver priest really set up a prison that can be described as 'perfect'. The first floor is Seliu You use the body of the king to seal the body, because the talent of Xiliuer is immortality, so this seal has a nearly eternal length of time. The first layer is already powerful enough. The key is the second layer, the second layer The second floor is actually the soul cut, which is the place where Gilgamesh obtained the Horcrux Judgment Wheel. Before he planned to use this place as a prison, the blessing of Aslan, one of the four great soul beasts, was not actually here. Yes, later on, through various complicated means, Blessing was trapped here and sealed under Xiliuer. In this way, Blessing passively acted as the second layer of protective seal. As for the third layer, it was You The ruins of Tur, before, the ruins of Utur had been gathering tens of thousands of undead, they were there to protect something that was crucial to Aslan, but when the silver priest decided to After serving as the prison where Gilgamesh was imprisoned, these tens of thousands of undead immediately changed their functions and became the prison guards guarding Gilgamesh. And this layer also set a strong activation seal , to activate the pawns leading to the next layer, only a pool of blood is filled—and everyone knows that the only person who has this ability, Xiliuer, has already integrated with the island on the first layer, so, from In a sense, this seal is difficult to open. And the last layer, before entering the last cave, also set a final seal, that is, the entrant must first abandon his Horcrux. And the cave is deep The place is full of the most evil vegetation in the Aslan field, this kind of vegetation can quickly absorb all the golden soul mist that appears within their range, including the golden soul mist that has turned into soul power in the human body. , and devour flesh and blood. In this way, even if the person who goes with a horcrux that can produce golden soul mist, he must first abandon the horcrux at the door before entering. In this way, there is nothing wrong with it. "However, Priest Baiyin never expected that although the apostle of Xiliuer, that is, his wife, died during the birth of Tianshu Youhua, he did not expect that Tianshu Youhua passed through the placenta. The trajectory of the soul path under him was born with such a talent... "That's why Priest Baiyin ordered me to convey the same message to Tianshu Youhua and Guishan Lianquan, hoping that the two of them would kill each other. Moreover, just in case, Qi La changed the chess pieces so that All the chess pieces lead to the next layer of Utur ruins, so that in the face of all the undead, they will definitely die." "But it's not right. If it is said that Qi La replaced the chess pieces, why did he enter the Utur ruins again to rescue them? Just let them die in it, and it's over. ?” You Ming suddenly thought of this, and became confused again. "This is where the Silver Priest's thoughtfulness is. The three little apostles really want to kill them without leaving a trace. It doesn’t make any difference to find an excuse and kill them secretly. However, after contacting the silver priest in the corridor of the abyss, it is possible to know the ghost mountain lotus spring that imprisoned Gilgamesh back then, and Tianshu Youhua, who has the talent of immortality, With Qi Ling, who has the talent of infinite Horcrux coherence, when the three of them appeared in the Utur ruins at the same time, for the silver priest, he really didn't dare to take the risk of letting the three of them stay in the Utur ruins for a long time, because They may trigger the mechanism to go to the next level of imprisonment at any time. Although it is impossible to rescue Gilgamesh with the power of the three apostles, the silver priest is unwilling to take risks no matter how small the possibility is. The best way is to get them out of there quickly." "So it's like this..." You Ming was silent for a while, and then said, "Perhaps the silver priest himself didn't expect such a coincidence to happen." Teresa was about to smile slightly, but suddenly, a white stream of air appeared in her eyes, she turned her face to a dark corner in the air, and said softly, "What's the matter?" In a dark corner, a young man's voice sounded completely emotionless, like cold metal. You Ming turned his face and looked towards that corner. In the dim light, the outline of that man looked very familiar. However, You Ming couldn't remember where he had seen it. The man's voice said: "Your Majesty, I have some latest information that I need to convey to you." "Tell me." Theresa's eyes still showed signs of high soul power. "The information is about Gilgamesh. The entire island of Silurus has collapsed, and Gilgamesh has escaped from the prison where he was imprisoned. The entire vast Rennes sea area, and all the golden soul fog, are in the Heading towards Gilgamesh with a turbulent vortex, he should be absorbing reserves and accumulating to his peak. This vortex storm of golden soul mist is still going on, and no one knows that Gilgamesh's soul What is the upper limit of the power. At present, the accuracy of this news has been confirmed to be over 95%." You Ming and Thereya's faces were pale.Since Gilgamesh successfully escaped from prison, will he, who participated in hunting him back then, become the primary target of his revenge? You Ming stared at the silhouette of the man in the darkness, always feeling familiar, and also had a very strange feeling that couldn't be described. "Then, what is the current whereabouts of Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring and Yin Chen who came out to rescue Gilgamesh?" Treya asked eagerly with her eyes flickering. "Silver Dust is dead." The man replied. "How accurate is it?" Thereia asked. "hundred percent." "Why are you so sure? Have you found the body?" Theresa raised her eyebrows suspiciously. "There is no need to find the corpse, because Qi Ling has already been born as the latest seventh-degree prince, and the soul path in his body has been copied. The copy of the soul path must be at the cost of the prince's death. Therefore, it can be 100% sure .” "What about Ghost Mountain Lianquan?" Theresa seemed to be very interested in this twin lady. "She is not very good. She was kidnapped from the Utur ruins by the apostle of the earth of Xiuchuan Jizang and returned to the imperial capital Grant. At this moment, she is suffering great pain somewhere deep in her heart." "Under great pain?" The storm in Theresa's eyes swept away again, and after a while, a distorted fear appeared on her face, "I see, the silver priest really won't let anyone go." Possibility... Let's put it this way..." She turned her head and looked at Nether, her eyes became clear, but what replaced it was a kind of pity, then she turned her head and continued to ask the man in the darkness, "What From this point of view, Shenyin must have disappeared too, right?" "What did you say?!" You Ming sat up suddenly, his long and narrow eyes shot out exquisite light like a falcon. "Yes..." The man in the darkness replied, "Shenyin has also disappeared. But according to our guess, it is very likely that he was also taken away by the apostles of Xiuchuan Jizo. It is possible that Shenyin is also there. in the heart." "How do you know so clearly?" You Ming looked at Thereya with a cold and serious expression. "Have you forgotten that Shenyin quietly went to Xiliuer Island to find the Prince of Immortality? The talent in her body is to continuously improve and strengthen her soul circuit by enduring the attacks of the enemy. She intends to get Xiliuer In this way, she can withstand a large number of attacks in a short period of time without any scruples, thus easily surpassing the upper limit of soul power and becoming the pinnacle of soul power in Aslan's domain." You Ming didn't speak, his hands were clenched into fists, it looked very hard, and the bones of the finger joints were faintly visible. "So, I just heard that Guishan Lianquan was brought back to her heart, and the pain she is suffering at this moment... Hehe, You Ming, don't forget that the silver priest is best at planting soul circuits, whether it is Gilga Isn’t Mesh, or our corroders, born in this way? Therefore, when Gilgamesh has successfully escaped from prison, what the silver priests need is not just ordinary princes, they need more , a monstrously powerful monster like Xiuchuan Ksitigarbha, and Lianquan, who has the talent of immortality, is one of them." Teresa looked at the silent Nether and sneered, but then, she showed a sympathetic look on her face, maybe she had fought side by side with him since the beginning of the condensate cave, so even if she is No matter how cold-blooded a person is, he will have deep feelings for Nether. "Then...the current camp has completely changed, right?" "Well, of course." Treya lay down on the bed again, her eyes were gloomy, like a cat, "However, before we study the current camp structure, I must tell you something, the Aslan domain In fact, the level of secrecy and access to it is higher than that of the Protoplasma Cave, a secret. After you hear this secret, you must choose your own camp." Youming felt nauseated in his stomach, those horrible and horrifying scarlet scenes just now still lingered in his mind, and now, Treya actually wanted to tell himself a secret even higher than this.He controlled his expression, still maintaining his indifferent and sinister face, "Say." Treya's eyes turned cold, and she said seriously: "The Aslan Empire, the source of water, and the Yinde Empire, the source of wind, secretly signed a contract called "Feng Shui Forbidden Words Record" twenty-seven years ago. The signing of the contract directly led to the transformation of the entire soul art world, and all the eroders, condensate caves, and protoplasm caves, the root of these mysterious events, all come from this." Teresa paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Except for the silver priest, there are only two people who know about this mysterious contract. I am one of them. More than four years ago, I accidentally learned about this mysterious contract." At that time, I couldn't imagine that such a huge and terrifying secret happened quietly. The other person who knew the existence of this mysterious contract was Gilga Meishi...he was hunted down after he learned the contents of "Feng Shui Forbidden Words Record"." You Ming looked at Thereya, and he suddenly realized that he had never known this woman before.He suddenly felt that her face was extremely gloomy. He remembered who the man was standing in the darkness just now, and his stomach felt sick again... He couldn't accept it, but he knew that it was the truth.
