Chapter 624: Miss Clock, Mr. Watch, Gentleman Alarm Clock
Due to the need to collect mineral samples, the group's progress slowed down a lot, but along the way, the group also saw several alienated bodies that retained some human intelligence.
how to say?
The alien creature seen on the fifth floor has a personality a hundred times simpler than that of Mithras.
They retain human intelligence, but their bodies do not look very human at all. Their temperaments are like those of children, but they are not as impatient as children and they are considerate of other people's emotions.
Moreover, most of these mutants have no hands or fingers on their limbs...
For example, the bunny girl, when not strengthened by Bai Di, has round palms and short fingers, and is unable to complete some delicate work.
The alien bodies at this level have even shorter fingers, or no fingers at all, only tentacles, or pincers instead of fingers.
All I can say is that they are slightly stronger than the mutants imprisoned on the fourth floor.
This is probably the fundamental reason why the mutants at this level need normal humans to mine.
Otherwise, given their personalities, they would definitely plan to dig it themselves and not trouble others.
On a hillside about 500 meters away from the destination, Zhou Qing looked down and saw a basin surrounded by light pink mountains.
At the entrance, there is a pink fleshy hill, the height of which is estimated to be nearly thirty meters. Under the hill, there is a passage leading to the inside, but there seems to be a layer of transparent glass-like substance.
And some distance inside the tops of those mountains, there seems to be some special transparent film, with all kinds of strange-shaped buildings in it, but you can still vaguely see that they are the work of human craftsmen, but the craftsmen... follow the abstract art style.
"That's Namichi!"
Gazing at the pink mountains in the distance, the bunny girl covered the corners of her smiling mouth, and clear tears flowed from her light yellow eyes.
ten years?
century?
The bunny girl has no idea how many years she has been running away. Now when she sees her familiar friends again, she still has the urge to go up and hug them.
Even though Namichi no longer has a human form...
"Then go and take a look!"
For the last 500 meters, Dugu Bo led everyone to fly down directly.
After landing, the bunny girl slowly walked to the pink mountain of flesh, stretched out her short fingers, stroked it quietly, then closed her eyes and hugged it.
However, the pink mountain of flesh did not make any response. It just stood there quietly, as if it had really become a mountain rooted in the earth and unshakable.
"This...was once a person?"
After hearing from Zhou Qing about the story between the bunny girl and Namichi, Dugu Bo was a little stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Can a person become so big?
I originally thought that in this abyss ruins, it was already exaggerated enough that people could become like animals, or even not look like humans, but I didn't expect that they could actually form a mountain, no, it should be a mountain.
It's amazing.
To be honest, Zhou Qing was also quite shocked.
How similar is this to the mythical legend of Pangu creating the world and transforming himself into all things?
Of course, in terms of scale, it is far from comparable.
Moreover, in Zhou Qing's perception, this pink mountain of flesh was still alive, trembling in a way that ordinary Titled Douluo could hardly detect, interacting with the aura of the fifth layer in a "harmony between man and nature", and constantly growing...
"Who are you?"
suddenly.
A powerful voice sounded from inside the passage, and then three mutants of different heights, weights and bodies appeared.
Different from the mutants seen before, these three mutants all have human form, but they are not beastly, but mechanized.
This is also one of the evidences that the mutated body is the product of the complete fusion of the unawakened martial soul and human flesh and blood under the influence of the aura of the abyss ruins.
The three people who appeared in front of everyone were obviously weapon spirits.
The person standing on the left is a female with fair skin that reveals a plastic texture, like a mannequin. There is only an oval jade gem as an eye on her face. She wears a black hat on her head and a black dress with a metallic hem behind her. Her arms are inlaid with two dark golden needle-shaped heavy swords of different lengths, one is 90 centimeters and the other is meters.
The person in the middle has a strong chest and short thighs, and is covered in extremely thick armor. His left arm is thick, like a watch chain, and there are clock hands on the shoulder armor; his right arm is short, and he has only three fingers, similar to a clamp.
The last person standing on the right is the shortest, with the same height as Rico, less than one meter, wearing a top hat, like an elegant butler; there is a disc-shaped clock inlaid on his face, and a house-shaped clock in his right hand, with a pair of small statues of angels and demons above it, which is quite peculiar.
Zhou Qing then cast his gaze on the two heavy swords in the hands of the mutant with a female appearance - they were clearly the hour and minute hands of a clock!
Before these three people became mutants, the unawakened martial spirits in their bodies were probably related to timers such as clocks and stopwatches.
"We are explorers from above, and we want to use this place to go to the sixth floor." As a tour guide, Riko naturally stepped forward to communicate with these three "soul-guided" alien bodies.
"Go down there, the other mutant villages are closer, but few people come here..." The female mutant sighed slightly and glanced around. The emerald green eye was slightly startled after seeing the bunny girl, and said, "Ribbitna! I see--"
When the bloated and short mutant heard the name "Ribitna", he also looked to the side and waved happily:
"Ribbitna, it's us!"
"Korako!"
"Waqu!"
"Alemu!"
Although the three people were speaking Abyss at this time, Zhou Qing could still barely understand the meaning of their names: Miss Clock, Mr. Watch, and Gentleman Alarm Clock.
Um--
The suffixes Miss, Mr., and Gentleman were added by Zhou Qing himself.
Fortunately, these mutants can speak the common language of Douluo Continent and can also communicate with Zhou Qing and others: "Since you are Ribitna's friend, come in. We can talk to the leader and change the three years to three months."
The time has indeed been greatly shortened.
But for Zhou Qing, Romantina, and Dugu Bo, three months is still too long. They have to discuss with the team leader later whether the time can be shortened. Alternatively, they can complete the mining volume that would take an ordinary person three years in just one or two days and go ahead of schedule?
But now is obviously not the time to tell this to Miss Clock, Mr. Watch, and Gentleman Alarm Clock.
The bunny girl also let go of the pink outer wall of the flesh mountain at this time, and followed Zhou Qing and his group across the thin membrane outside the passage...
