Chapter 627 Bunny Girl for Free——
Inside the cave, in the dimness, a long snake covered in bone armor, tens of meters long and more than three meters in diameter, was coiling around a stone pillar.
Is it a dragon?
But it looks more like a white centipede, but without the thousand legs.
Next to this giant stone pillar, there was a girl sitting there with a somewhat unreal figure.
Countless threads made of black liquid were wrapped around the girl, connecting her to the black stone pillar.
This is a girl who is imprisoned.
Around the girl, there were also groups of black creatures that looked like liquid or gas, all with pairs of small golden eyes, guarding the girl, as if waiting for her child to wake up...
But Zhou Qing felt that the girl's face looked familiar, and was nine out of ten similar to the mutant "five-tailed fox" he had seen before.
"Namichi!"
The bunny girl screamed and was about to run forward, but the white bone snake blocked her way with its thick tail.
"Get out of the way! Hope!" The bunny girl looked up and looked straight at Hope.
"I'm afraid not, Ribitna."
Hope bent his head, his bony face was smooth and round, with only a pair of eyes among his facial features. His head was covered with bony hairs that looked like blooming petals, which emitted a faint colorful glow under the light from the sky.
"You want a price? I can exchange everything I have for it!" the bunny girl screamed like crazy.
"Bunny girl, don't be like this, calm down first!"
Riko hugged the bunny girl, hoping she wouldn't do anything stupid.
"This should be Namichi's soul, right?" Zhou Qing didn't want the bunny girl to get too excited, so he looked at Hope, "Part of it?"
"Bunny girl? It seems you have forgotten your name." Hope sighed first, and then the deep gaze in his black eyes fell on Zhou Qing, "A native explorer of Douluo Continent? So smart, it seems that Ribitna has made a new friend, and Namichi will be very happy too."
After that, Hope introduced the current situation of Namichi's soul.
Just as Zhou Qing guessed, it was a part of Namichi's soul. The rest had already conceived a new body for the flesh and ran away.
The black entities surrounding this part of Namichi's soul are the souls of all the children Namichi has ever given birth to.
Although the children born by Namichi will die within a day, all lives born into the world have souls.
They always stay by their mother's side.
Moreover, the rule of "equivalent exchange" in the village was also created by the souls of these children of Namichi - Namichi gave her flesh, blood, hope, and even her soul to the entire adventure team, but got only pain in return, so her children made this rule.
"This is one of the most valuable things in Nami Village. I will protect it."
Hope explained, "This cave is made of Namiqi's brain. Only here can Namiqi's soul and the souls of her children appear and be seen by the naked eye."
"However, other alien entities can also come in here. Even in this strange space environment, illusion and reality are intertwined, and the flesh can directly touch the soul and harm it."
"Namichi is too fragile with only a part of her soul left, so no mutants are allowed to approach her."
After understanding these circumstances, the bunny girl still wanted to protect Namichi, and at the cost of her own freedom, she walked towards Namichi, gently hugged Namichi's soul, and closed her eyes. Hope no longer stopped her.
First, he believed that Ribitna would not do anything to hurt Namichi.
Secondly, Ribitna has already paid for the value of "freedom". Once it is violated, Namiqi's children will tear it to pieces in an instant.
"Bunny girl!"
After half a year of getting along, Riko has already regarded the bunny girl as her own partner, and she doesn't want her to sink into the thoughts of the past.
The Abyss people have a tradition: if a companion does not intend to continue, you cannot force him or her, but should silently bless him or her and respect the other person's choice.
However, there is another premise in this tradition, that is——
If your companion is stagnant and is going astray, then you must do your best and try every possible way to pull him/her back from the mistake!
Right now, in Riko's opinion, the bunny girl's choice was wrong, and she shouldn't be immersed in sadness... People should always look forward!
"What's the value in exchange for the bunny girl?" Zhou Qing asked Hope directly.
"The brain, the heart, or the freedom of both of you."
Hope's eyes swept back and forth between Zhou Qing and Romantina, as if he could see the essence of their martial spirits. He said quietly, "However, as an explorer, you obviously want to go to the sixth floor. I suggest you dig for three months first - because you know Ribitina, you are given a discount in terms of time."
"No! The brain and heart are too precious!" Riko shouted.
"If it's your turn, eyes, hands, kidneys, etc., any body organ will do." Hope didn't argue, but just stated the value of Riko's ability to be traded.
And Liko seemed to be really thinking: "Eyes, explorers can't be blind; arms and feet, explorers without arms and legs can't go on, everything needs help from others; but as for internal organs, I don't know which one is unimportant, but I heard from Abo that intestines are divided into large intestine and small intestine. I should be able to continue living without one, then, I'll use my small... um!"
Before she could finish her words, Romantina covered her mouth and said, "The internal organs of the human body are more important than limbs. If your limbs are broken, you can still live if you take timely care of them. But if your internal organs are suddenly gone, you will most likely die!"
If your limbs are broken, timely treatment can save your life, but you will have limited mobility for the rest of your life.
But if there is a problem with the internal organs, even if you can survive, you will be plagued by illness. In mild cases, you will need medicine all the time, and in severe cases, you will lie in bed for the rest of your life and need care from others, or even die.
"Riko, don't be impulsive. We'll think of a way to deal with the bunny girl issue later..."
Zhou Qing also advised Li Ke for a few words, and then asked Hope, "Regarding mining, it seems to be calculated by time? I think this is not fair. Can you provide a specific measurement value? For example: how many tons do you need to mine in three years? How many tons do you need to mine in three months?"
“We haven’t really thought about this…”
Hope was also stumped by the question.
This is mainly because the lifespan of the alienated body is extremely long, and may even be close to the level of immortality, so the concept of time is relatively illusory.
Three years of mining——
This concept of time is also a set of rules and systems established by the alienated entities who were once human and knew the human lifespan.
"About three hundred tons."
In the end, Hope still gave Zhou Qing and others the weight of magnetite that they needed to pay to reach the sixth floor.
“Is this three years’ worth?”
