middle.

"I want to know what happened during the last exploration and how these people... died."

Gu Shen spoke solemnly.

The voice fell.

The wind and snow around him quickly flowed backwards, and the dream world changed at this moment.

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

["The thirty-eighth route exploration, the seventeenth time... There is no problem so far, the source energy fuel should be replaced."]

Gu Shen turned around.

He saw a team of six.

The person leading the team and giving orders at this moment is none other than the team leader "Hong Zhong".

["All members replaced source energy fuel and prepared to return."]

This team reached the "end point" they originally arrived at, and then... there was a sensing error in the source material instrument, and everyone realized that their retreat was cut off.

Gu Shen was like a non-existent shadow, standing quietly in the gap between the cracks in time and space, watching the follow-up progress of this exploration mission...

The scene reappears.

This team is more united than I expected.

Everyone decided to move on... Up to this point, everything was normal, but then they would step into the dream of "Golden Spike Flower". With the strength of this team, this is an unsolvable dream.

Why did Hong Zhong escape?

In the dream, these people saw the "oasis" and the non-existent hope at the end of the maze...

And when Golden Spike Flower was about to "take away" their spirits.

Hong Zhong suddenly woke up from his dream!

He was alone and broke away from this dream... then he took action without hesitation, chopped Lao Yao's source armor to pieces with one knife, pulled out the source energy fuel core, and then quickly escaped from the maze.

After returning to reality, he did all this smoothly.

It was as if someone was guiding me.

The rest of the memory is not important anymore.

Jin Suihua saw that Gu Shen just wanted to know the details of this man's escape... It fixed the reflection of this mental image at this moment, and said quietly: "There is a very strange 'sealed object' on that man's body.

He seemed to have an incredible power of guiding destiny. His spirit almost sank, but he suddenly woke up at the critical moment. At the critical moment, he found the only correct way to escape."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

It is said that Hong Zhong was an extremely lucky veteran in the Survey Corps. Every mission he went on returned safely...

This guy's luck is indeed incredible!

Even if you encounter a disaster-level dream like "Golden Spike Flower", you can still escape.

Obviously, this is no longer what he is capable of.

This guy must have some amazing sealed item on his body...perhaps it was obtained from an exploration mission in the [Old World].

Gu Shen stretched out his finger and moved it slowly.

Jinsuihua's dream flowed as he pleased, returning to the moment when Hong Zhong woke up.

He tried to find the whereabouts of the sealed object in his dream.

But it's a pity.

Can't find it... Hong Zhong is wearing the Source Armor and can't see any movement of the sealed object. The entire awakening process was spontaneous.

That was probably a passive defense sealed artifact.

When the owner encounters disaster, it will be activated proactively.

"However, that guy will definitely die."

Jin Shenghua said coldly: "His spirit has been corrupted by me... It won't be long before he will die in despair and eternal silence. Not only that, this corrosive power will also spread. If you don't want to be in this maze

After returning, you can also look for his spiritual imprint, and you can extract a lot of souls. The Pure Land is too empty now, and we just need manpower."

"???"

Gu Shen's expression changed instantly: "What did you just say? Will your corrosive power... still spread?"

Golden Spike nodded.

"Don't you want to form an army in the Pure Land?" The big snake hissed and said regretfully: "Over the years, I have been working hard for your coronation... but there are too few people who have arrived here.

"

Gu Shen was immediately speechless.

He never expected that what this big snake did would be so crazy... I am afraid that when Hades threw him out, he was already close to madness.

How crazy is it to pull the souls of living people into the Pure Land and form an army?!

"Don't do this kind of thing again."

Gu Shen frowned and immediately issued an order, "My pure land has other ways to expand. There is no need to use this method to extract the soul. This method will bring me a lot of trouble... From now on,

You can no longer take the initiative to attack and kill humans."

Jin Suihua's pupils were blank, and she nodded subconsciously, remembering this order.

Although its soul has grown for twenty-one years, it is almost a blank sheet of paper.

The only guidance he got was the remaining will of Pluto's fire.

It has no concept of good and evil.

As for life and death, it was born in the pure land of Pluto, and it doesn't care about the "life and death" of these ants.

Gu Shen finally knew why he ended up in such a miserable end when he took office as Pluto...

If there really are "fate" rules operating in this world.

So what the previous Pluto did was just the tip of the iceberg that he knew, and it was enough to cause a lot of evil!

"Do you know what the consequences of that corrosive power will be..."

Gu Shen looked ugly and scolded in a low voice.

The big snake lowered its head, looking aggrieved.

"That wisp of corrosive power is actually not very powerful... it will only spread within the spiritual sea." Golden Spike Flower defended in a low voice: "As long as the spiritual power is strong enough, it will be enough to resist. No matter how hard it is, your great power will be enough to untie it."

.”

Gu Shen looked complicated.

The spiritual power of this big snake is terrifyingly powerful!

Even Yuan Yuan can't see through the dream it weaves.

And the corrosive power left behind...even if it is only a weak ray, there are very few people who can resist it.

He knew that Golden Spike Flower grew up to what it is today, all because of the guidance of the previous Pluto... The only thing this ignorant creature could rely on after birth was the remaining spirit of Pluto's fire.

That ray of spirit was extremely evil.

What is instilled in Golden Spike Flower is also hunted and devoured.

Over the years, only "Hong Zhong" managed to escape by chance, and the corrosive power left behind by Golden Spike Flower was just out of the hunting instinct of a hunter at the top of the food chain.

However, the current situation is very bad.

Anyone who has been in contact with Hong Zhong is likely to encounter the "spiritual corrosion" of Golden Spike Flower... Doesn't this mean that if it is not handled properly, there will be a spiritual virus sweeping through the Gubao Fortress?

No...even worse!

The Second Team of the Survey Corps strongly requested that Hong Zhong be brought back to the interior... Once agreed, the spread would become uncontrollable!

It’s time to leave for the return journey immediately!

Gu Shen could only pray that Azur and Lin Lin could detect the corrosive virus in Hong Zhong's spiritual sea in advance, or at least firmly refuse the investigation corps' request to take back the "hero".
