Chapter 454 Stone Statue Project (5000 words long chapter)
"Here, the prison you just entered is actually a pilot project for cultivating stone creatures." Changyin said with a heavy voice, "You should have seen the experimental creatures in the underground warehouse, right? Those, in fact, are all They are underground creatures that are in the experimental stage and have not yet completely become stone creatures.”
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is that really the case?
The entire underground prison is, in fact, a breeding ground for petrified creatures.
"Stone creatures are cultivated here?" Ji Chaoyang frowned slightly, "Were all the stone creatures we encountered before cultivated underground?"
However, others were not too surprised because they had already heard this speculation.
They all turned to look at Xu Xin.
"You guessed it right, Brother Xin!" Wang Lei said with admiration.
"I didn't expect that it was really like this!" Wen Guixin sighed.
Instead, Ji Chaoyang looked at them in surprise: "You guys... what did you encounter underground?"
"The following things are a bit complicated. I will explain them to you later."
Xu Xin continued to look at Changyin and said, "So, what is the situation now, and what is your relationship with the prison in this underground world?"
Changyin hesitated, but still spoke: "How should I say, I... can be said to be a researcher in this underground prison. The petrification technology is actually provided by me. It can be said that you met near the teleportation formation Everything about the stone statues comes from me.”
"What?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.
"The technology you provided?!" Wang Lei was also a little in disbelief.
"...Those stone statues outside are all your handiwork?" Wen Guixin couldn't help but be shocked.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang also looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
The two of them had actually made such speculations for a long time, but it was really shocking to hear such things from their own mouths.
"Well... you can't say that I created them all, but..." Changyin touched his chin with his hand and made the sound of stones rubbing together, "To put it simply, I am the only one who owns the core technology. It can be said that, Without me, these statues would not have been made.”
"So..." Xu Xin frowned slightly and looked at him, "Are you the mastermind of this matter?"
"Of course not." Changyin pretended to sigh. Of course, his stone body didn't have the breath for him to sigh, "I was forcibly captured here to conduct experiments for them. ”
Then, he began to explain their current situation and what kind of place this place was.
As he explained, the faces of everyone present gradually became serious.
The origins of the creatures in the underground world are basically the same as what they had deduced before.
These creatures have awakened their own consciousness because the bloodline of the giant beasts is stronger than the blood pattern mutation, making it impossible for the "blood pattern clan" to control them.
Therefore, they simply threw all these huge guys into the ground.
This incident happened forty-eight years ago.
That is, before the first survivors appeared.
In this way, the prototype of the underground world was born.
This group of underground creatures has been a group of mutant creatures from the very beginning. Moreover, they are also mutant creatures that possess the bloodline of giant beasts and have mutated blood patterns.
These two variations coexist with each other but conflict with each other.
This also makes the genes of this group of creatures living underground particularly unstable.
During that initial period of time, this group of creatures was undergoing individual mutations almost every day!
That’s right, it’s not group variation caused by reproduction, but individual variation!
Not only are the genes in the body changing crazily, but even the body shape and traits are changing rapidly.
The same creature may look completely different from one day to the next!
The entire underground world was very chaotic at that time.
Extremely chaotic.
Every day, there is genocide, and every day, new species are born.
And in this process, the "blood-striped clan" is still pouring new blood-striped behemoths into this underground world.
The underground world is undergoing earth-shaking changes every day.
This process lasted for more than ten years.
That's right, when the first survivors came to this world, the underground world was still a complete mess!
Of course, the entire underground world finally stabilized after more than ten years, after the blood-striped clan stopped investing new blood-striped behemoths into it.
In this way, after nearly fifty years of evolution, the underground world they see now appears, which seems to be somewhat strangely vibrant and has a relatively stable ecology.
"How was this underground world formed? Doesn't your logic seem a bit unreasonable?"
Zhao Xiaochuan said with some confusion: "Just because they are disobedient, you dug an underground world like this and let them in? This... is too troublesome, right? You are looking for trouble!"
"That's right!" Wang Lei nodded, "This underground world is so deep. If you want to transfer the creatures down, you have to subdue them first, right? Then killing them is easy, right? In that case, why bother with so much effort? Get them off?”
"Don't kill them because they are still useful, right?" Lou Feier speculated, then glanced at Xu Xin.
She understands this very well.
If she hadn't been useful back then, I'm afraid the grass on the grave would be three feet high now.
"You're right." Changyin nodded, "It's because they are reluctant to kill these creatures."
He continued to explain.
"At that time, this group of outsiders were surprised to find that if a creature with the bloodline of a giant beast had a blood pattern mutation, its strength would be far superior to ordinary blood pattern creatures at the same level."
Xu Xin nodded.
really. Blood pattern mutation can enhance the strength of a creature, but it is only based on the strength of the creature itself. If the creature itself is weak, no matter how advanced the blood pattern mutation is, it will not be much stronger.
He knew this early on.
During the hunting activity, the combat power of the intermediate mutated wild cat he summoned through the altar was defeated by the ordinary tiger.
It can be said that the ability of the creature itself is the basic value, and the blood pattern mutation is an exponential increase in the basic value.
And this multiple is related to the level of blood pattern mutation.
A rabbit with a base value of 1 and a hundred times increase cannot defeat a tiger with a base value of 200.
But if the tiger's ability increases a hundred times...
That’s ridiculously strong!
Therefore, if the main body is a creature like a giant beast, and then undergoes blood pattern mutation to increase its strength, it is really hard to imagine its strength!
"So, if they can control the bloodline of giant beasts, the strength of their family will be greatly improved."
Changyin continued to explain.
If this kind of thing can really be realized, then this will be their biggest gain on this planet.
However, they soon discovered that the bloodline of the giant beast not only increased the speed of biological power, but also greatly improved the mental power, which was an all-round increase in physical ability.
A big reason why they control the blood-striped creatures is that after the blood-striped creatures mutate, their mental power will be greatly reduced, making them easier to control.
The blood of giant beasts can increase their reduced mental power again, which makes mutant creatures with strong blood of giant beasts difficult to control.
Even if they are successfully controlled as children, they can easily escape their control as adults.
However, the Blood Pattern Clan did not give up.
After a period of cultivation, they discovered the biggest difference between giant beast bloodline and blood pattern variation: heredity.
"The bloodline of giant beasts can be passed on through inheritance, but mutation of blood patterns cannot." Changyin pointed at Lou Fei'er who was sitting aside and said, "For example, although she has mutated blood patterns, her descendants will not be affected at all. Any influence is still ordinary human beings.”
"Huh?" Lou Feier was stunned, "Is that so?"
"I have discovered this a long time ago." Xu Xin nodded and said, "Blood pattern mutations are not hereditary."
The simplest example is the three pangolins he tamed.
Concubine Ai is a mutated creature, but those two little guys don't have even a trace of blood pattern mutation on their bodies.
Changyin nodded: "However, the blood of giant beasts can be inherited, which is good news for the blood-marked clan who want to cultivate blood-marked giant beasts. Thus, the plan for this underground world was born."< br>
"They created this new underground world, put giant beasts with rich blood into this underground world, and allowed them to mutate and develop on their own, which is what I said before."
It turns out that this is how this world was born...
But...
"How did you know about this?" Xu Xin looked at him and asked, "You didn't know about this kind of thing when we last met. Moreover, how does this relate to what you are doing now? ?”
Although he asked this question, he had generally guessed the result.
Moreover, Chang Yin explained everything in such detail to them, most likely, he needed their help.
"Of course it's related." Changyin answered Xu Xin's second question. He thought of something and showed a tired smile, "I just said that the Blood Pattern Clan released these creatures into this world for the purpose of Control the blood-marked behemoth and enhance their clan’s abilities, right?”
"The blood-striped behemoth is like an extremely powerful genetic warrior. If it can be controlled, it will improve the strength of the entire race. Therefore, although this foreign 'blood-striped clan' must have invaded countless planets, it has no impact on ours. The world, our planet, they are very focused on.”
"Their original plan is to let these giant beasts continue to mutate in this underground world. While they release new species in the underground world, they will also capture some species that mutate in the underground world for experiments."
"They want to see if, in the underground world, they can mutate giant beasts that are physically strong but mentally weak for them to enslave. Of course, at the same time, they are also experimenting on giant beasts in various ways. This underground world , just part of the experiment.”
After saying this, Changyin paused slightly to let the people present digest the information he said.
Several people present, especially those other than Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, felt that they had received too much information, and they all looked shocked and confused.
Even Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, who had been exposed to the underground world for a long time and had made various speculations, fell into silence, their heads running rapidly, integrating various previous information.
"...So, the stone creature is also part of this plan." Xu Xin said.
"That's right." Changyin nodded.
"After decades of hard work, they found nothing, but they didn't want to give up such a powerful behemoth sample, so... they decided to find another way. They focused on me, on... the stone creature. .”
Changyin's words became slightly heavier.
"They actually discovered me very early, and discovered that I have the ability to petrify living things but still survive. So, they deceived our family and tricked our family into this underground to complete their plan."< br>
"Plan? What plan?" Wang Lei's face was full of confusion and confusion.
Because for him, who had never heard of the underground world before this event, the amount of information was too much and he had not yet digested it.
"If the blood-striped mutated giant beasts cannot be controlled, then just petrify them directly, and then control the petrified creatures, because the mental power of petrified creatures will also be greatly reduced."
Changyin said, opened his hand, glanced at the palm, then clenched his fist, looked up at Xu Xin: "Do you know why we were unconscious and helpless when you first met us? Action? ”
"...Need to restore mental strength?" Xu Xin touched the little head of Coco, who was sleeping soundly on his lap, and guessed.
"That's right." Changyin nodded, "If we don't fall into a long dormancy and stay awake all the time, our mental power will be very weak."
"Then are you now..." Xu Xin frowned slightly.
"My current mental strength is much weaker than before." Changyin said tiredly, "If this continues, maybe I will be completely controlled by them."
Is that really the case...
No wonder, no wonder he always made Xu Xin feel a little tired.
It turns out that his mental strength is much weaker.
"This is their plan around my abilities."
Changyin looked at the people around him and said: "The underground prison you explored today is actually my... laboratory. I am actually the warden there, but..."
He smiled bitterly: "It's just that I don't have any real power. Even taking you out of it, I have to do it secretly."
"Then...you just helped them conduct experiments like this?" Zhao Xiaochuan was a little surprised, "You didn't resist?"
"Resist? Ha..." The sound of rocks rubbing against each other came from Chang Yin's mouth, and he was obviously clenching his teeth, "If I was the only one, I wouldn't care, but they imprisoned Xue Lan and Xiao Hong, and they still Threatening the lives of two people, what else can I do?”
Several people around were silent.
Xu Xin thought for a moment.
Changyin told him last time that he used to be a human being in this world and an aborigine of this world.
It was only later, after the first group of survivors entered his dungeon, that he had some unpleasant encounters with the first group of survivors, and then he became what he is now.
As for the details, he did not say at the time. However, Xu Xin still remembers his extremely hateful expression at that time.
So...how did their family turn into stone statues?
Wasn't his petrification because of the Blood Pattern Clan?
On the contrary, his ability has been spied on by the Blood Pattern Clan?
In other words, the petrification ability is the third power besides the bloodline of the giant beast and the mutation of blood patterns?
Where did it come from?
Also, the altar with the mutated creature stone statue in the hilly resource area...
Is it related to Changyin’s stone statue ability?
Who is the god enshrined on the altar?
This situation seems a bit chaotic.
Xu Xin opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "I didn't expect that you would play such an important role in the Blood Pattern Clan's plan."
Changyin calmed down, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that important. Perhaps, the part of the plan I'm responsible for is just a dispensable, small plan that treats a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all... At present, this is the only pilot program for this plan.”
He pointed in the direction of the prison, and then said with a helpless smile: "However, you guys are really lucky. You happen to be in this position."
"The underground prison where we conducted experiments was originally connected to the energy supply device above through vines to draw energy. As a result, your activities on the ground suddenly changed the landscape, and the device was pushed directly above the ground."
He shook his head: "At that time, this prison could hardly suppress the giant beast below."
"Wait a minute, what's going on with the layers of stone statues in the teleportation formation?" Wen Guixin asked, "You just seemed to have said that you can control those stone statues at night, right?"
"Those stone statues on the top of the snowy mountain are actually the first batch of experimental petrified creatures." Changyin explained.
"They didn't ask me to attack the giant beasts at first, but to petrify ordinary creatures, low-level, intermediate, and high-level normal mutant creatures. They may want to see if the strength of the petrified creatures has declined or improved. .”
"As for why these first batch of experimental products went to the ground, I don't know. They were taken away by a group of furry blood-striped monkeys long after they were petrified."
Changyin was obviously dissatisfied with the furry monster. When he talked about the blood-striped monkey, his tone was obviously a little more serious.
But then, the corner of his stone mouth curved: "However, they may not have thought that I secretly did some tricks on the stone statue." Happy chapter!
