Chapter 9: Running all night(1/3)
The most fearful thing is that the air suddenly becomes quiet. This is the current situation. It's nothing for Caesar to take out the jar of the abyss. The main problem is the strange phenomenon of the jar of the abyss.
Every now and then, faint green smoke wafts out from the mouth of the jar. This kind of faint green smoke has a somewhat abyss-like feel, and is more cold and ominous, as if it will be eroded and assimilated by it with just a slight touch.
In the nest room, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment before it was broken by the undead girl.
"This is?"
The undead girl has never seen the jar of the abyss, but she feels the danger of this thing vaguely. The depth and thickness, as well as the oncoming abyss feeling, all make people look away.
The undead girl stayed at the eighth level for a long time. She was deliberately accumulating resources. She had been to all kinds of dangerous worlds. Among them, the one that impressed her most was undoubtedly the "Abyss". She even had a feeling that even if she reached the top of the eighth level,
, is only qualified to touch the abyss. If you want to challenge it head-on, it is undoubtedly a mantis trying to beat the chariot.
Compared to the undead girl, Su Xiaoze had long known how terrifying the power of the abyss was. What happened to Silver Moon Wolf back then? In the end, he was also eroded by the abyss, and with his broken body, he wielded the sword that went against his original intention.
After Su Xiao saw the jar of the abyss, his first thought was, could the upcoming disaster be a direct invasion of abyss energy?
If that's the case, it's doomed. Once the abyssal energy pours in directly, based on the strength of the creatures in the eighth-level world, the initial stage of the abyssal invasion will definitely be the annihilation of the race, and then the world will completely turn into darkness.
After thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, the abyss energy in the world will gradually become thinner, or it will have different characteristics based on various types of boosters, and then the creatures will revive again. That is who knows how many years later.
Su Xiao observed the jar of the abyss for a moment and came to the conclusion that there is more than 90% probability that this world will not be directly invaded by the power of the abyss. The reason is that the green smoke floating in the jar of the abyss is obviously already there.
Characteristics, this is an extreme power amplified by the energy of the abyss.
If we deduce this, it is this kind of power that is closer to the netherworld and the dead that will invade this world.
Although this is not good news, at least it is not a desperate situation. If the power of the abyss comes, the initial stage will be unsolvable. What is even more unsolvable is that this early stage will last for at least thousands of years. For the entire process of the abyss invasion, thousands of years
It's really just the early days.
With a general understanding of the source of the danger, Su Xiao felt that the pressure on his shoulders was suddenly relieved. He was never afraid of powerful enemies, but was very afraid of unknown dangers.
"Let's call this power Netherworld. What does it represent? A force?"
The undead girl looked at the green smoke floating in the jar of the abyss, her eyes thoughtful.
"Maybe it's not just one force. The empire has implemented a colonial policy for many years. More than a dozen biological planets have been oppressed by the empire's colonial policy. Among them, there are inevitably forces from the mysterious system. Perhaps it was the forces of these mysterious systems that were destroyed before they were destroyed.
The hidden dangers left behind are that when people are in extreme despair, evil gods, ancient gods, strange beings, as long as they can bring them help, they will turn to them for help."
The priest's words make sense. The empire has been hegemonic for many years and the hatred accumulated under its bloody colonial policy is unimaginable.
What is certain is that this existence or force, temporarily named "Netherworld", is not a system of this world, but more likely to invade.
If there is an invasion, there will definitely be early signs, but looking at the current behavior of the empire, it is obvious that there is no vigilance at all. The third fleet is still calmly dealing with the Zerg on Pandora.
The Empire is a technological force. Over the years, they have used spaceships, mechas, and rail guns to defeat countless mysterious forces. Now that they have encountered the initial invasion of the "Netherworld" forces, the attitude displayed by the Imperial forces will remain the same.
The technological side's contempt for the mysterious side.
In fact, this is normal. In the empire's perception, those godly power systems are just rubbish and can be blasted to ashes by naval cannons.
The imperial forces are obviously a frog in the well. They should go to the world of paintings, the world of trees, and the world of the Black King to see how terrifying the mysterious side invasion of dark tendencies is. It is something that cannot be roared loudly, but can only be numb and accepted.
A disaster of that magnitude. Being able to die in the early stages of the disaster is actually a blessing.
This also caused those survivors to tell the horrifying but magnificent history of the disaster in the most bland tone.
There is a lot of bad news, but there is also good news. After Caesar's King Explosion was thrown, it directly transformed the old Yinbi Father into a good teammate, Father.
Su Xiao, the priest, and the undead girl are not afraid of death, but this does not mean that they want to die. On the contrary, they will cherish their lives, but they will not hesitate to take advantage of them when needed.
The priest who turned into a good teammate was extremely helpful. This old guy was going to take the spaceship to go to the empire's home planet, Okai.
The so-called space-orbit ship is a jumping space technology. As long as there are stable cable stations in the two places, high-speed inter-planetary travel can be achieved.
The priest's trip to Okay Planet is a huge sacrifice. The power of this world is undoubtedly concentrated on Pandora. If the priest goes to Okay Planet, the benefits will be greatly reduced.
The empire's power has been rampant for so many years, and there is a high probability that Okai will become the starting point of the "Netherworld" invasion. You can imagine how dangerous it will be under such circumstances.
The priest temporarily transformed into a good teammate and took such a big risk. Of course, Su Xiao, the undead girl, and Caesar should show their support and at least provide some sponsorship.
At the round table, several people were silent. The undead girl took out a mini skull, placed it on the table in front of the priest, and said, "If you throw it out in an emergency, a small number of skeleton knights can be summoned."
"A small amount?"
The priest was slightly hesitant about the small amount.
"Well, that's **thousand."
"Pfft, knock knock~"
Fluffy juice burst out of his nostrils, and he kept coughing. This 'small amount' was actually 'too little', and the last sentence, 'that's **thousand', didn't sound right.
If a normal summoning system hears it, there will definitely be tears of envy.
As soon as the priest put away the mini skeleton, Caesar took out a crumpled invoice. After the priest took it, he looked surprised for a moment, and then he solemnly put away the crumpled invoice.
Su Xiao took out four 20-centimeter-thick, half-meter-high glass pillars. Inside were translucent solutions, with devourers soaked in the solution. The four devourers were placed side by side.
The first generation Devourer·Black A: The advantage is that it is a hexagonal warrior, but the disadvantage is that it is brutal and difficult to control.
The second generation Devourer·Boiling Red: Exclusive for women, control system, the strongest method is "Dark Demon Blood Shadow".
The Third Generation Devourer·Dark Sun: Solar flame system, pure fire system, extreme and powerful.
The Fourth Generation Devourer·Sun Messenger: A magic stick model with medium combat power, especially good at deceiving.
"Choose one of four."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke.
"Can't select all?"
The priest looked at the four kinds of Devourers and was very pleased with them.
It's no wonder that the priest is like this. He went to Oka Star on this trip and found a local to cooperate or use him as the best choice. The problem is that having strength means having a background, and all kinds of troubles will continue.
The priest doesn't need someone who plots against him, but a young man who helps him step out of the way.
It is too difficult to cultivate this kind of stupid youth. If it is induced, all kinds of side effects will be extremely serious. The person involved will inevitably feel despair and become a dead soldier, and the efficiency of stepping on the thunder in the front will be greatly reduced.
Back in the Alliance Star, Su Xiao felt that the Devourer was easy to use. Was it the Devourer or the first generation model, which was the Black A.
The combination of Black A + Aiqi is simply incredible, and they are crazy about thunder in front of them.
At this time, after the priest sensed the characteristics of the four Devourers, he immediately realized their great value. This was simply the best choice for cultivating the thunder-stepping young man.
After being symbiotic with the Devourer, the Lengtouqing will mistakenly think that he is the chosen one, the protagonist of a novel, the protagonist of a harem comic, etc. In just a few days, the opponent's strength will be resonated by the Devourer.
With such a stupid young man scouting the way ahead, the risk of the priest's trip to Okai Planet will be reduced by at least 40%. The characteristics of the Devourer are very suitable for the priest's old tricks.
If necessary, the priest can pretend to be a kind clergyman or a 'guiding NPC'. Who would doubt a kind 'guiding NPC'? Who would guess who the village head of Xinshou Village is?
Bad guy?
Among the four types of Devourers, the priest was the first to rule out the "Fourth Generation Devourer - Sun Messenger". He is a magician himself and does not need to cultivate a big liar.
The first generation of Devourers was very reckless, but the second generation was very thoughtful. The third generation of Devourers, regardless of the character of the host, was just a flame fool. The iron-headed boy among the Devourers, in Black A’s words, was a fool.
The priest pointed to the third generation Devourer Dark Sun, obviously preparing to quickly train a flame fool to help him step on the thunder in front.
"What are the taboos about this thing?"
The priest looked at the dark sun inside the glass column and felt very satisfied.
Hearing this, Su Xiao said: "Dark Yang's own conscious body is not very smart. Find a host for it with a slightly better brain."
"Understood."
The priest picked up the glass pillar, stood up and left.
Seeing this scene, the undead girl frowned. She kicked Su Xiao's leg lightly under the table, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Bai Ye, this old guy won't abscond with the money, will he?"
"How to say."
"The day before yesterday, he almost took my deposit and absconded with the money. Let me tell you, this old guy can do this. He is very bad."
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing. Based on his understanding of the priest, he could indeed do this.
"Let's go, you should work hard to develop here. I have some familiarity with the imperial forces."
After leaving these words, the undead girl put on her big hat and left. Regarding this, Baha also specifically asked why the undead girl wore such a big hat. The other party's answer was a bit funny. This type of oversized witch hat,
She started wearing it from the first level to prevent being shot in the head by snipers.
Please don't laugh. It's really hard for a first-level gunner to lock onto someone wearing such a big hat.
After reaching a higher level, the undead girl has become accustomed to wearing it. Without wearing this kind of hat, she always feels uncomfortable. In her own words, it is like going out without wearing underwear, which is not practical.
After Caesar saw that all the outsiders had left, the cunning smile on his face disappeared, and he said in a rare serious tone:
"My dear friend, this situation is more dangerous than we imagined. In the past few times, we only came into contact with the remnants of the abyss. This time we are too close to the power of the abyss. This is not something that the eighth level should come into contact with."
"What's left of the abyss?"
Bach asked questions that others also wanted to know.
"Yes, remnants, such as the dangerous objects in the Alliance Star, the eldest daughter of the abyss in the tree world, and the mutations in the elves, these are all remnants..."
Caesar's explanation is that there are three levels of contact with the abyss, from strong to weak: direct confrontation, invasion, and survival.
To be continued...
