Hao Ren was of course a little surprised that the little weak chicken suddenly pointed out a new talent, but he was not surprised to the point of being incredulous - what could be more incredible than the existence of the little weak chicken itself?
An evil thought body with a mushy head, who has been enlightened and educated by Raven 12345 for more than a month, and has an inextricable connection with Vivian herself, so these prerequisites are put together, to be honest, even if this little thing suddenly transforms into an electric mouse with a lightning tail and puts 100,000 volts in front of everyone, Hao Ren should be able to accept it calmly......
He studied the attributes of the little weak chicken as a summoning unit with Vivien, and basically determined the three characteristics of the little thing, the first is that she is still a weak chicken, even if she has established a deeper connection with Vivian, her biggest trick is still biubiubiu; The second trait is that this little creature has no brains as always, and basically does not follow any instructions except for feeding; The third trait is a little better than the first two, and that is that if she reintegrates into Vivien's body, then her aura will be completely obscured, a setting that is useless but at least not as pitiful as the first and second traits......
"Scared!"
”The little weak chicken was impatient, and soon showed resistance after discovering that Hao Ren did not intend to give her food, and let out a threatening cry before turning back into a cloud of blood mist and returning to Vivien's body."
She's a little angry," Vivien shrugged, "I can feel that she's still a little frustrated, because she thinks she should be able to scare you." ”"She already has such mixed emotional reactions?"
Hao Ren looked at Vivien in surprise, and then even more surprised, "Can you feel her emotions?"
”"When I recycled it into my body, I could feel a vague and subtle feeling, as if some of my emotions were shared," Vivien said with a frown, "It's a bit like when I first took those evil thoughts into my body, but I didn't have that feeling of 'digestion and absorption', and the little thing was still a completely independent individual."
It's incredible......
She was indeed growing. ”Hao Ren thought for a while: "In my opinion, this is mostly a good phenomenon.Maybe when we wake up, we'll see this little guy and say good morning to everyone. ”"I wish there would be a day."
Vivien smiled, refocusing her attention on the book in her hand.At this time, she was flipping through an old book that looked like a hero, this book was placed on the same floor as various wild history and miscellaneous books, obviously not a verified character biography, but mostly some kind of heroic novel mixed with legends, myths, exaggerations and embellishments, but the more this kind of thing, the easier it was to associate the content with those dangerous places that ordinary people could not access but had a great reputation: such as the big tunnel mentioned by Leah before.Of course, the information that can be found in this kind of book must be very different from reality, and it is unreliable to use it as an intelligence source, but for Hao Ren now, the first task is not to find out the truth of those official histories, but to at least understand what the concept of things like the big tunnel is.This is the seventh book on a similar subject that Vivien has picked up, and it mentions a lot of obscure place names and seemingly famous historical events, including the Great Tunnel - in fact, it is easier to find the text about the "Great Tunnel" in this library than Hao Ren expected, and basically all the history and geography books and a considerable number of heroic biographies appear in related words.It seems to be a thing with a great reputation, and historians and geographers have written it in awe in their writings, and the heroes of the past and present have a special fondness for entering the Great Tunnel for an adventure - just as most fantasy protagonists have to kill a dragon (of course, some have recently begun to propose to dragons) before they are embarrassed to claim to be the main character, the basic condition for becoming a brave man in the legends of this world is to go around the Great Tunnel.However, Hao Ren can easily see the essence through the phenomenon: the more things that are taken by the protagonists in the novel, the more daunting the corresponding archetypes in reality become, as if 90% of the brave people are barbecued when they challenge the dragon, and I am afraid that few people in the reality of this world dare to really get into the big tunnel: it is definitely a dangerous place."
According to the records in these books—" Lily picked out all the books she had found about the Great Tunnel, one by one spread out on the table, and next to it were the useful information that others had found, "the Great Tunnel does not refer to a mine tunnel, or a specific underground cavern, but an underground pore complex that spreads across the entire continent, and possibly even into the endless ocean, and throughout the world. ”Vivien also said what she had summed up: "Beneath the continent called 'Rahrien', there are countless criss-crossing hollows, like beehives, and that is the Great Tunnel.They are not evenly distributed and their depth is not constant.In the fertile land belt in the east of the continent, the big tunnel is buried very deep, and the local people are almost not affected by it, but in the extreme north, within the range of the ten countries of the ancient north, the big tunnel is very close to the surface, it is said that there will even be some shallow tunnels directly connected to the human mines, and there are occasional local ores when digging through the 'rock top', and the miners fall into the big tunnel.It is also because of this that the northern part of the continent is now the most inhospitable place in the world: it is too unsuitable for human life. ”Izzax took over: "The big tunnel is a terrifying thing in this world, because it is not only filled with highly toxic or corrosive gases, but also monsters often run out, and some strange beings that humans can't understand and fight against will gush out of the tunnel.In one of the wild histories I found, it was recorded that a kingdom in the north had to dig shelter underground because of the war, but accidentally dug through the top of the rock of the large tunnel, and as a result, a 'shadow of nothingness' came out of the ground, and the whole kingdom was swallowed up by night, and when the next morning came, the kingdom became a whole black forest, and that place still seems to be famous to this day, and it is said that almost no people who entered it came out alive. ”Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the eldest son parasitic in the depths of the planet when he heard Lily and Vivian's descriptions, and when he heard words like "the kingdom was swallowed by the Black Forest" and "strange things that cannot be understood and fought against", he frowned: "It's a familiar situation......
The big hole underground, and the monsters that came out of the hole, is this the eldest son again?
”"I don't think so," Vivien said, "first of all, this is the Dark Realm, near the Divine Kingdom of the Goddess of Creation - regardless of why this place is the way it is, the address is not wrong anyway, and according to the information we have, the Goddess of Creation has not planted the Seed of Origin so close to the Kingdom of God - those seeds were used by her to explore the deep space of the universe, and they were scattered far away, so there should be no firstborn in the Dark Realm."
Secondly, we have found a lot of information about the Great Tunnel, and none of them make a positive mention of the firstborn himself: neither the huge tentacles buried in the ground, nor the organs beating in the cave, or the source blood, are not mentioned.The eldest son can't be hidden, he's so huge, and he's moving under the crust of the entire planet, it's impossible not to leave a trace at all, right?
”Vivian also made sense, and Hao Ren couldn't help but nod approvingly: "So do you have anything else to discover?"
What about the big tunnel?
”"Yes, a scholar named Ron Zell wrote a book dedicated to the Great Tunnel, and although it seems that his research results are not recognized in related fields, he still mentions many interesting discoveries," Nangong Sanba held up an old book he found, "The scholar claimed that he once practiced the way of the druids with a mysterious old man, and that his soul had left his body and strayed into the Great Tunnel during a certain communication with the spirit of nature.He said that he had seen many traces of man-made in the Great Tunnel, ancient writings, relics, and even magnificent ancient ruins, so he believed that the Great Tunnel was actually a refuge built by the civilization of the previous era to avoid the 'natural disasters on the ground', and the reason why it spread all over the world was precisely because the ancient civilization was extremely developed and had the ability to build a miracle of this scale.The monsters that poured out of the big tunnel may be guards left by ancient civilizations, or even ancient humans who have mutated and gone crazy underground. ”Speaking of this, Izzax couldn't help but laugh: "This open-minded scholar even calculated the scale of the 'earthly disasters' encountered by ancient civilizations according to the degree of harm caused by the monsters and poisonous substances gushing out of the big tunnels, and also discussed in detail the evacuation plan of a contemporary civilization after encountering the same natural disasters in the second half of the book......"
Lily pricked up her ears from the time she heard it, and then couldn't help but interject: "Hey, hey, this setting sounds super touching to me!"
”"Sentimentality doesn't necessarily mean persuasion," Itzhax shook his head, "The 'scholar' has a good imagination, but unfortunately four-fifths of his book is full of conjectures and legends, and in the only part he quotes a fairy tale – which has led to almost everyone attacking his theory, and even classifying his book as absurd." ”"But with our eyes and the information we have, his conjecture is not unreasonable," Hao Ren looked at everyone and said very seriously, "This world fell here with the kingdom of God of the goddess of creation, so it is very likely that the ancient civilization and natural disasters on the ground mentioned by the scholar named Ronzel are true, and the conjecture that the Great Tunnel is a refuge for ancient civilizations may also be true—if the previous civilization of this world really relied on some kind of underground facilities to escape the impact of the explosion of the Kingdom of God, And rebuild the current ecosystem on the surface, so many things can really be explained. ”Vivien nodded: "It's not uncommon for a crappy scholar to have a keen intuition, and this Ron Zell may just not be good at writing a persuasive thesis." ”Lily picked up the book that Itzhax had brought and shook it in mid-air: "If everything this book says is true, the so-called Great Tunnel is worth exploring." ”
