Chapter 53: Simple Tasks (16)(1/2)
Can this world... be saved?
Feeling inexplicably blocked, Long Qisheng took a deep breath and asked: "Sister Lulu, to what extent are the virtual world and our world... integrated?"
"This cannot be detected, but according to expert estimates, it has exceeded 50%, and as more and more fixed nodes are coming, this integration will accelerate. Experts say that within a hundred years at the latest, the living world will be destroyed.
The virtual world is completely swallowed up."
"If we fail, our next generation will witness the extinction of the human race."
Xin Bailu sighed: "This is also the reason why I have never dared to have children... Instead of having a miserable life, it is better not to come to this world at all."
Long Qisheng remained silent.
Previously, he had no specific concept about the war between the virtual world and the living world. He only wanted to cure Lao Liang's disease.
Now that I know it, my heart feels a little heavier.
Although he will definitely not be able to live another hundred years, unless he remains a bachelor all his life without marrying and having children, his children will inevitably face that cruel future.
In this situation, no one can say without any psychological burden: I will not care about the flood after I die.
Long Yingying, who had been silent, put his hand on Long Qisheng's shoulder and patted it twice: "Oh, don't think so much! Anyway, we try our best to do it. As for whether our efforts will succeed, that's not us.
If you can control it, leave it to God!"
"That's right." Xin Bailu also laughed: "No matter what the result is, as long as we work hard towards the goal and do our best."
…
…
Mud ground.
The durian-headed virtual spirit trembled all over, and the spikes on its head turned into a bright red!
After a long time, he let out a furious roar!
"Damn you bitch! I'm going to cut you into pieces!!"
The ethereal spirit walked to the edge of the cave, grabbed a thick vine, fused his tentacles with the vine, and used the organs of the ethereal spirit's body to search for that abominable grotesque.
He found it quickly.
But, there was only one charred corpse.
"Asshole! Asshole!!"
Wu Meng was furious for a while, then Xu Ling calmed down and turned to look at the formed magic circle on the ground. Durian's head swayed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking on his face without facial features.
After a while, he let out a strange laugh.
"Is it actually a powerful and mysterious magic circle? It gave me a lot of inspiration. Maybe if I add this to it, I can succeed..."
He fiddled with the magic circle a few times, then left here and came to the space where Long Qisheng had been, waded through the black water and climbed to the top of the big ball.
The liquid legs surged and gradually merged with the ball...
…
Mo Xun had his own reasons for not letting Long Qisheng and the others follow him. Based on his experience, the body of this B-level ethereal spirit cannot be destroyed by ordinary flames.
Summoning a purple flame with a snap of his fingers, Mo Xun controlled it to burn through a hole at a rough location that could accommodate one person in and out, and jumped in.
After searching the inner wall for a while, I found the huge hole.
There are some hollow vines as thick as an arm hanging on the wall next to the hole, with suction cup-like tissue on the top. There is some thick black liquid accumulated in the hollow pipe, exuding a faint fishy smell.
"Is this... some kind of anchor modification process?"
Mo Xun thought for a moment, scraped off a little of the black liquid with a knife, put it into a sample bottle and put it away.
Then he entered the hole.
Sure enough, some of the thick black liquid remained on the cave wall, forming a long intermittent trail that extended deep into the pipe.
I slowly explored down the pipe, and it took me a long time to reach the end.
After some estimation, Mo Xun knew that he had reached a place lower than the surface of the strong acid lake.
It's pitch black here.
Only a large number of strange chirping sounds were heard.
Mo Xun summoned a ball of flame, floating in the air.
Under the purple light, he saw a shocking scene!
In a large area of strong acid, an unknown black sphere was sunk in it, with only a shallow arc exposed.
There are so many densely packed white bones floating on the water!
The sphere seemed to have a kind of gravity. The white bones on the water surface crowded from all directions and floated towards the sphere. When they touched the surface of the sphere, they instantly turned into powder and disappeared into the sphere.
"anchor……"
The first time he saw the sphere, Mo Xun knew that it must be an anchor, an anchor that had not yet been completely manufactured.
"This should be the first time that the Soul Chaser has actually seen the making process of the anchor..."
Mo Xun turned on the video recording function of the bracelet and wanted to record a video.
However, when the recording was finished and played back, the screen was completely black and nothing could be seen.
"Alas..." Mo Xun sighed helplessly: "It's really unreliable..."
With a snap of his fingers, Mo Xun summoned another large purple fireball. The dense fireballs connected together, completely dyeing the dark space purple.
There was also sweat on his forehead.
"I don't know if it's enough... go!"
As he waved his arms, the sea of purple fire suddenly fell down!
Chi chi chi~~
The steaming mist of strong acid rose up, instantly filled the entire space, and rushed toward the pipe!
Mo Xun took out a gas mask, put it on, and climbed up quickly.
Thick smoke was billowing behind him at a very fast speed!
Five minutes later, Mo Xun's figure was submerged in thick smoke...
…
Long Qisheng and the others didn't know what was happening inside the huge plant, so they were still chatting.
"Sister Lulu, what's that night party?"
"Yelan Society is a business organization that dares to do any business. It is huge and has many experts. It seems that they can be seen everywhere, but which city they are from and who is standing behind them have always been a mystery.
.”
After saying that, Xin Bailu added: "You can also exchange for merit by handing in information about the Ye Lan Club. Overall, our trip was very profitable."
As she said that, she turned to look at the huge plant, with some worry in her tone: "If Mo Xun succeeds, he will have more meritorious deeds."
"Don't worry! Brother Mo is so strong, he will be fine for sure!" Long Yingying comforted her.
Long Qisheng thought for a while: "Sister Lulu, Yingying, what do you think the magic circle that Yelan will ask Xu Ling to set up at the core of this plant will be used for?"
Long Yingying scratched his head: "This question is too big for me, please try another one!"
Xin Bailu looked at the huge ethereal body under her feet and pondered for a moment:
"This virtual spirit was directly drained of its memory and soul by Tai Sui and died. The body remained extremely intact, and even many of the plant's body organs were still functioning on their own. Perhaps... they wanted to control this body through the magic circle?
"
"Huh? This can't be done, right?" Long Yingying's eyes widened, expressing disbelief.
"It's impossible to say for sure." Xin Bailu wrapped her fingers around the ends of her hair, thinking: "It is rumored that the mysterious 'Pei' in Yiyi City is good at magic circles. There were soul chasers who inherited her heritage and used magic circles.
Perfectly controlled the war machine they built, 'Hercules'."
Xin Bailu's words opened the eyes of Long Qisheng and Long Yingying.
It turns out that the world of spirit chasers is far more exciting than what they encountered!
Boom!
suddenly!
The huge thing in front of me was shocked!
scare!!
Long Yingying was startled and his eyes widened: "This thing seemed to have moved just now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the huge plant moved again!
"It's really moving!"
The vibrations of the huge plants caused the strong acid lake to oscillate, and the calm lake surface began to undulate violently. Waves of water spread outward, shaking the small boat.
