Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 662 - 331: Life Gene, Labyrinth of Crawlers_1
Lin Xun finally understood why in the realm outside the Divine Kingdom, there was always heavy cloud cover and no sunlight, the earth was desolate and life was scarce, and it was impossible to ascend beyond a certain height...
The Monastery was not on the surface, but underground.
As the Divine Power continued to spread and penetrate, the space underground where the Monastery was located would become a forbidden zone for life.
Even the Divine Kingdom, where he was located, would not be spared after the upper layer of the earth was completely eroded.
The Ancient Nest and War Incubation Field were different from other buildings. It was because the Wet Nurse came from a different world and was the Main God of another civilization.
Lin Xun suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that the Divine Kingdom where he was originally belonged to the ’Firefly’?
After taking over the surface erosion, the Wet Nurse took possession of God’s Kingdom that did not belong to her and moved both the War Incubation Field and the Ancient Nest here?
Or perhaps the ’Desire Wet Nurse,’ after obtaining new life genes, felt that the ’Firefly’s’ genes were stronger.
So, She and her children began to evolve and reform in the direction of insects, causing the architectural style of a part of the gods to tend towards the style of the ’Firefly’ camp?
Lin Xun thought of the statue form of ’Desire Wet Nurse,’ the mature and voluptuous mother feeding her children. The mother was in human form, while her children were all fat larvae.
This suggests that the children of the Wet Nurse have all completed their evolutionary transformation, while the Wet Nurse retained her original form...
He still had many doubts, including the Hive Mind and the consciousness network, but ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ did not explain further.
She just told him that it was the right decision not to bring ’Jinmu’ to the nest.
[...]
[That semi-finished experimental body called ’Jinmu’, once entering the nest, would be detected by the Wet Nurse at the top of the consciousness network...]
[Flandre is trapped in this cage of a nest, not because she can’t escape, but because she dares not.]
[Because she is drifting on the edge of the consciousness network, but not existing outside of it, all creatures within the consciousness network can not escape the gaze of the Wet Nurse.]
[The ability given by the Firefly can only make the Wet Nurse’s gaze ignore this area, but once you attract the Wet Nurse’s attention, her terrifying gaze will follow you every step of the way until the end of your life...]
Lin Xun suddenly felt a chill.
He sacrificed a Shell at the ’Downy Feather Altar,’ attracting the attention of the Wet Nurse, even drawing the high consciousness of the Wet Nurse.
To the Wet Nurse, was the ’Fire Sacrifice’ Shell equivalent to a new life gene?
If the answer is yes, then he, still possessing several Shells with different prefixes, was undoubtedly a treasure more precious than Firefly in the Wet Nurse’s eyes.
Would the Wet Nurse give up watching him, a man of such great value?
Was he still being watched by the Wet Nurse right now?
At this thought, he felt a chill, his whole body breaking out in goose bumps.
[...]
[You say goodbye to ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ and leave ’the abandoned Ancient Nest’...]
Regardless of whether he is under the watch of the Wet Nurse now, he can’t change anything.
He could only continue to explore the next location following the procedure.
[You blow the ’Calling Flute’ and shortly after, ’the Delivery Scarab’ burrows out of the ground, appearing before you...] 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
[Please select your destination.]
[1. Audience Valley]
[2. Tentacle City Station]
[3. War Incubation Field]
[4. Downy Feather Altar]
[5. Firefly Spirit Temple]
[6. Frontier Prison]
[7. Crawlers Tribe]
Only the ’Crawlers Tribe’ is left to explore in the known locations.
Lin Xun made his selection, heading to the map deep underground.
[...]
[After traveling in the darkness for a long time, the shaking stopped, and the flesh walls on both sides of the Delivery Scarab’s abdomen opened.]
[There is not a trace of light in front of you, the extreme darkness filling your vision.]
[You look around, but see no familiar bioluminescent fungi, only silence in the pitch-black darkness. You could only hear the abnormal soft cries of the Delivery Scarab.]
[You exit its abdomen, and with a further cry, the Delivery Scarab burrowed into the ground and disappeared.]
[From its cries, you discern a strand of fear.]
[It is clear that the Delivery Scarab fears this place, fears the Crawlers Tribe.]
[You remember what ’Jinmu’ told you before, that the ’Crawlers Tribe’ was at the deepest part of the underground and was extremely dangerous...]
[You gather True Element in your eyes, and soon you are able to see in the dark and make sense of the underground space where you stand.]
[This underground space is not extensive, and you can see everything at a glance.]
[Nothing grows in this underground area. Below you is the earth full of scorched black traces, and at the end of the rocky wall nearby is a dark cave entrance.]
[You stride forward to the cave entrance and look inside. There is no light or sound.]
[Do you want to enter the ’Crawlers Tribe’?]
[You step into the cave...]
[The tunnel inside the cave slopes downward into the depths of the earth. The surrounding rock walls are mottled with scorch marks.]
[The ground under your feet is covered with uneven pieces of crushed rock, making a crunching sound as you step on it.]
[The cave is eerily silent. All you can hear is the echo of your footsteps on the crushed stone...]
[You haven’t gone far along the tunnel when you encounter a fork in the road ahead.]
[There are two passageways in front of you, left and right. You study them carefully, but can’t distinguish anything unusual about either of the paths.]
