Chapter 643: Capture a mutant as a pet?
"I remember correctly."
Timitite said in a low voice, "In that dark space, I can't see the colors outside, but I can sense them."
"Perception?"
Zhou Qing wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Timitite no longer concealed it.
In that space, although she could not see the colors outside, she could sense what was happening in the outside world through the black mud in that space.
The silt is the basis for the souls of the Namichi children to settle accounts with the alienated bodies and people in the outside villages who violate the rule of "equivalent exchange".
It is both energy and matter, and it is also the manifestation of the rule of "equivalent exchange". It is also the source of the souls of Namichi's children.
Zhou Qing also recalled the scene when he first saw the cave. The black liquid that entangled Namichi's illusory soul was connected to the stone pillar. According to Riko, there was a stone platform where Timitite originally "ate and waited for death"... It is highly likely that the two are connected.
In order to figure this out, Zhou Qing asked Rico, Timidite and Mahaha to take him there to have a look.
"Mahaha!"
Mahaha pinched the round body, very happy, handed the wooden barrel full of Hope bugs to the proprietress, and put his hand in the palm of Riko's outstretched hand.
And Riko's other hand also held Timitite's.
"scare!"
Timitite let out a strange cry and trembled, but his mood gradually calmed down, as if he was enjoying the peace of being accepted.
Zhou Qing did not disturb them, but just followed the three people silently.
But Dugu Bo said again: "To be honest, if these mutants were not once human, I would really like to catch a few and bring them back to Yanyan as pets."
Zhou Qing was speechless and complained: "My niece is not a child anymore. It will be fine if she and Yu Tianheng give birth to a nephew for you."
Instantly, Dugu Bo's face turned as black as charcoal, but what Zhou Qing said was true. He just didn't want to be silenced, so he made small talk: "You keep calling me niece's granddaughter, but you are not that old."
"I'm young but mature." Zhou Qing said as if it was a matter of course. "Besides, who made you, an old monster, recognize me as your brother?"
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to pick up Zhou Qing, take off his pants, and beat him up - after all, this kid had the magical power of "taking shape when gathered and becoming gas when dispersed", and he was extremely slippery and could not be caught.
When they arrived at the cave, Zhou Qing did not go in to find Romantina in case Hope found out. Instead, he and Dugu Bo followed Riko, Timidite, and Mahaha into the ravine behind the cave.
After descending nearly a hundred meters, they really arrived at the bottom and stepped into the pool of mud that spread throughout the entire underground space.
Looking at the mud that was above his ankles, Zhou Qing squatted down and scooped up a pile of mud, only to see it fall from his palm, as if his entire palm was a sieve with holes.
However, when Zhou Qing took the initiative to use the Xiantian Neijing Diagram and scooped up another pool of mud, the mud no longer fell, but rippled slightly. Then, a pair of golden little eyes appeared on the mud, looking at Zhou Qing tremblingly, as if very frightened.
[Can be refined! ]
Zhou Qing has determined that this kind of silt is the substance used to "settle" Mahaha before. It is also the incarnation of the souls of Namichi's children. It is a strange thing that combines energy, spirit and matter. He has a hunch that if he refines these substances, he can save several years of accumulating soul power, and there is even a chance that he can directly reach the realm of Titled Douluo.
In the end, he let it go.
He couldn't do something like "eating" other people's children.
When the pool of mud fell, the pair of golden little eyes slowly disappeared, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep. However, this movement seemed to have also awakened the creatures under the mud: the Hope worms, all of which were wriggling rapidly, emitting a faint white light, bringing some light to this dim space.
It can be said that as long as you ignore the cold feeling brought by the Hope worms wriggling around your ankles, this space is completely equivalent to a miniature of a brilliant starry sky, quite poetic and picturesque.
But when they thought that what were wriggling around their ankles were not stars, but thin, sticky Hope worms, the other three, except Timitite, felt a little uncomfortable.
What about Haha?
Because the Hope worms glowed, they were quite obvious in the dark. It had squatted down and was using its two tentacles covered with smooth pink fur to grope for the Hope worms under the mud. When it found one, it put it into its mouth and sucked it up like noodles.
Dugu Bo felt a chill when he saw that, and completely gave up the idea of bringing a few cute mutants back to give to Dugu Yan as pets.
It's so scary!
"When the Hope worm is disturbed, it will glow." Timidite also caught one and let it struggle on his fingertips. "It has the same characteristics as Hope. When he is emotional, he will also glow."
Afterwards, she also sucked the Hope worm into her stomach. Apparently, after living without seeing the sun for many years, she thought that her body would instinctively eat after she fainted from hunger and lost consciousness. So she had no choice but to choose to eat herself and live in a daze.
If she had not been able to sense the outside world through the layer of mud underneath and relieve some of the psychological pressure, she might have collapsed from depression long ago.
Escaping from the island was thought to be the beginning of a new life, but Timitite never expected that in the end, it would actually be the beginning of real pain.
Fortunately-
She's used to it now.
Her only thought was to wait for the ultimate punishment: death, to befall her.
Following the light emitted by the Hope worm, Zhou Qing walked to the stone platform where Timitite had originally slept. He walked around it and determined its approximate diameter. He found that it was roughly the same diameter as the stone pillar he had seen in the cave where Hope was before.
look up--
There is no other flat dome on the top of this underground cave. Like other places, there are some black things similar to stalactites hanging upside down.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the stone platform, his martial soul possessed his body, and he started to activate the Xiantian Neijing Diagram to try whether his soul power and qi and blood could sense deeper mysteries.
At this moment, the Hope worms in the mud around the stone platform stopped wriggling, and then quickly moved towards the stone platform, circling around it, and gradually connected head to tail, describing a pattern that was similar to the core magic circle of a soul guide.
Haha, who was eating happily, was startled, but then he was overjoyed and began to quickly pick up the Hope worms and stuff them into his mouth.
"Wait, well, haha, I'll eat later."
Liko stopped it, haha.
"What?"
Mahaha tilted his round body, as if he understood what Riko meant, and actually threw away the Hope worm that he had picked up with his tentacles.
Friends are more important than food.
The Hope worms that fell back into the mud formed strange patterns together with other Hope worms, flashing as if conveying something...
