Chapter 554 The Secret of Bai Di——Sacrifice!
Afterwards, Sandyin led everyone into the steel base.
In Zhou Qing's eyes, the interior of this steel base was very similar to the steel mill in his previous life. The staff inside all wore the same uniform, with only the patterns on their helmets being different.
Came to the edge of the black pillar.
Unlike the upper three floors, the edges of the black pillars on the fourth floor are dotted with doors, and in the center there are vortex-like dark currents. There are also countless white dots above, forming circles of galaxies.
Sandin picked up an apple and threw it towards the door.
Snapped!
The moment the apple touched the darkness in the center of the door, it instantly lost its color, first turning into charcoal, and then becoming a ball of ash, falling to the ground.
After seeing this scene, everyone finally believed that without Bai Di, rushing in rashly would be tantamount to suicide.
Even Tang San, who possessed the Blue Silver Emperor spirit and had strong vitality, did not dare to try.
However, Zhou Qing noticed that there was a round hole next to these doors, which looked like a keyhole, so he asked, "Is Bai Di really the only pass? There is a keyhole here."
Sander said: "For us, the white flute is the only key we can find."
What this means is that if other keys can be found, the white flute does not need to be made of artificial materials, and can be polished with other harder metals.
In silence, Romantina came up with an idea and said to Sandin, "Can you lend us your white flute?"
Xiao Wu was stunned and rubbed her fists again.
but--
“You can’t use it.”
Sandeyin poured cold water on Xiaowu who was eager to try, "The white flute can only be used by the sacrificed person, because it contains the thoughts and soul of the sacrificed person, and it is extremely solid.
If I die, the white flute will either turn into a harder flute, or break and dissipate into smoke. Even if I agree to lend it to you, and even if you have a way to communicate with the thoughts in the white flute and threaten my life, the white flute will not compromise. It would rather die with me, the user, than be used by others. "
The examples given by Sandeyin also made Zhou Qing and others realize that there must have been foreign spirit masters who did this before, and even tried to snatch the white flute by force, but to no avail.
Xiao Wu was silent.
Because this kind of sacrifice seems to be more overbearing than sacrificing a hundred thousand year soul beast to humans.
After all, when a hundred thousand year old soul beast is sacrificed to humans, there is still a possibility that its soul bone may be taken away and used by others. Although the white flute can also be taken away, when it falls into the hands of others, it is equivalent to an ordinary whistle. It has no other use except to be sturdy.
"I'm sorry for my impulsiveness, mate."
Those who hold the white flute have all lost their closest friends and relatives. The white flute is the transformation of their closest and dearest people.
How could a person lend out the person who is closest to him or her?
That's so offensive!
"sorry."
Romantina and Xiao Wu also apologized.
Sandin was wearing a helmet, so no one could tell whether he was angry or forgave the two women. They only heard him say in a deep voice, "There's no need to be like this. I have long since abandoned human emotions. I was just telling you a fact."
Everyone was silent.
This abyss relic can indeed change a person's character.
Now, the question of how to get to the fifth floor stopped Zhou Qing and others.
The only key to pass at the moment is the white flute.
Apart from this, it seems that the mutants are not restricted, but they are obviously not willing to transform themselves into complete "orcs".
But how to get the white flute? Sacrifice a person?
Absolutely not.
"This matter needs to be considered carefully."
It is impossible for Zhou Qing to let someone sacrifice himself and turn into Bai Di.
And a white flute is likely to only allow one person to pass through.
There are six of them in total, him, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, Rico, and Bunny Girl. Among them, Bunny Girl is an alien who can ignore the rules of the door and will not be harmed. What should the remaining five do?
Even if I split it in half, it still wouldn't be enough!
Moreover, Zhou Qing believed that the fact that the Bai Di was able to protect a person through this level must be because the Bai Di played some special role.
At least a mutant like the bunny girl doesn't need a pass.
In other words, the existence of the alien body is itself a kind of proof of pass, and the white flute may only be able to simulate certain characteristics of the alien body, so that the person holding the white flute can pass through unharmed.
After all, as long as it is a door, there must be a key, and the key can be reproduced.
Perhaps the original keys to these doors have been corroded over the years of history, but some kind of energy released by the keys, or something else, is the real key, and this quality can be presented in another form with the help of other things.
"Sanderin, where did Namichi go?" The bunny girl asked Sandin about this.
"I went to the fifth floor."
Sander said.
"Impossible! Namichi is so big, it's impossible for her to carry everyone through such a small door." The bunny girl didn't believe it.
"You should remember that although I am not a good person, the only thing I cannot do is lie."
Sandein said with a hint of pride, "There is actually another way to get to the fifth floor. That is to drill directly into the seabed. There are passages connecting other floors under this sea of corpses, similar to the circle of waterfalls on the edge of the fourth floor."
These words further confirmed Zhou Qing's guess that the fourth floor was a composting site.
According to Sandin, he also studied the huge piece of meat that Namichi turned into, and speculated that the reason it went to the lower level was to get more food.
Although the fourth layer of seawater contains a large amount of nutrients, it cannot be directly absorbed by animals. For this reason, they instinctively go to the lower space where the energy is more sufficient and the biological resources are richer.
Regardless of Namichi's own will, this is the instinct of living things to survive!
But humans want to dive...
It is tantamount to committing suicide.
There are a large number of carnivorous fish in the ocean, and even large sharks. Without the ability to breathe underwater, it would be impossible to survive.
Hearing what Sandone said, the bunny girl started crying again.
But Sandeyin didn't care, he just said to Zhou Qing and others: "Since you are here, stay here first, maybe I can find a way to help you get the white flute."
"How to say?"
Zhou Qing was curious. After all, couldn't the white flute only be formed when a person was willing to sacrifice himself and was thinking of someone in his heart?
"If we need to sacrifice ourselves, there is no need for that. We all need to return alive."
Sandeyin was silent for a long time before he said, "Are the soul masters in the outside world so united?
Maybe some of you will choose to sacrifice yourself for your companions when you are dying... But don't worry, none of you will die. You just need to spend some time to build a good relationship with an extremely innocent child."
