Although Hao Ren had been holding back a lot of questions, it was obvious that he couldn't expect any answers from the weakling.
For this little thing who acts entirely on instinct, she doesn't need any reason to do things. In fact, she doesn't even know what the word reason means.
So Hao Ren and Vivian could only put their heads together and start muttering about all kinds of speculations and discussions - of course it doesn't matter if they say it's just guessing and nonsense, because what happened to the little one was too strange.
, and the nature of the large tunnel is even more bizarre and surprising.
Looking at the little weakling who was walking around on the ground nearby, and from time to time baring his teeth and claws at the air, Hao Ren touched his chin thoughtfully: "I think the problem lies in the 'crazy' element of this little thing.
, although she is now harmless to humans and animals (in fact, she has never been harmless to humans and animals), after all, she is still a creature catalyzed by the power of the Lord of Madness. It is normal for her to have extremely high resistance to the power of chaos and corruption.
matter."
Vivian immediately looked at the large crack not far away, and she immediately understood what Hao Ren meant: "Do you suspect that this big tunnel was also caused by the power of the Crazy Lord? Then because of the little weak chicken and the Crazy Lord
The force comes from the same source, so the two will not harm each other?"
"This is the most likely answer, and it is in line with the basic rules we have always used to do things," Hao Ren nodded, "and more importantly, it is in line with our initial conception of the dark realm - this is where the goddess of creation fell.
The land where the power of madness and the power of the goddess had a decisive battle, so these two powers are the two most important things in the dark realm. Now we can regard the vibrant ecosystem on the planet Lahirien as
It is the embodiment of the power of the Creation Goddess, so what is its counterpart? It is obviously the Great Tunnel - this 'tunnel' may represent the form of the power of madness in the dark realm."
Vivian thought for a while, but couldn't think of a more convincing explanation, so she nodded: "It's a simple and easy-to-understand model, but we still have to understand the situation under the big tunnel. Even you can't resist the big tunnel now.
It has phagocytosis, and things like probes will lose their signal after entering the tunnel, so we must find a way to observe inside the crack."
Of course Hao Ren also knew that this was an urgent problem that needed to be solved, and in fact... he already had an idea.
His eyes slowly fell on the little weakling who was happily playing alone.
The little thing running around on the ground suddenly felt this sight, and the movement of throwing shadow arrows stopped instantly. She glanced back nervously, and immediately let out a small sound after seeing Hao Ren's eyes.
Voice: "Hey!!"
"Isn't this little thing able to resist being swallowed by the big tunnel?" Hao Ren smiled at Vivian, and then waved to the little weakling, "Come here, I won't eat you - if you really can't come, go back
I will throw you to Raven 12345!"
"Alas!!"
"Don't just scare her, do you understand how you can use kindness and power to a child at the same time?" Vivian immediately glared at Hao Ren and turned to smile at the weakling, "Come here, don't be afraid, we won't bully you."
Hao Ren couldn't help but look Vivian up and down: "You, a person who can throw away a child for four hundred years without remembering it, actually figured out how to take care of a child - I don't know how aggrieved Hessiana will be when she sees this scene.
What's it like?"
While letting the little weakling crawl up her arm, Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren: "Didn't I have a bad mind back then? And it's not like I didn't care about Hessiana. Of course, I was a little bit awkward in raising children before.
Question, so recently I have started to take the initiative to call Hesiana, and I plan to let her come to my house to play for a few days in a while. By the way, do you plan to let the little weakling help detect the big tunnel? "
Hao Ren nodded and took out a new probe from his portable space: "I'm thinking about it, this should be feasible. The clothes on the little weakling are not her original ones, but the ones you made for her later. She grew up
After coming out of the tunnel, the clothes on his body were intact, so I guess that this little thing is not only immune to being swallowed by the big tunnel, but can also protect himself from being swallowed by the things he carries within a small area. Look at what I gave this explorer
The needle is set to recording mode, we can tie it to the little weakling..."
The little guy saw Hao Ren approaching him with a suspicious silver-white machine. He immediately raised his hands and roared: "Haha - scared!!"
Vivian lowered her head and glanced at the weakling, with a helpless expression: "Your plan is very good, the only problem is...the parties involved don't seem to want to cooperate."
This is a big problem. Hao Ren suddenly realized something: although the little weakling has made great progress now, not only has he gained richer emotions but can also understand human speech, but being able to understand human speech does not necessarily mean that
He will be obedient. What should I do if this little thing with a mushy mind doesn't cooperate?
So he talked earnestly and tried hard, but after all his efforts, the little weakling still showed no sign of softening his attitude, which made Hao Ren feel a huge sense of frustration: he had quarreled with his goddess, and with his pda, and now, he
He actually had to quarrel with a "detector", and the most amazing thing is...
He also lost.
The weakling is always invincible because he cannot speak.
But in the end, the little weakling was still tied up with a probe by Hao Ren. It was not that he succeeded in reasoning, but Vivian took out a piece of meat, and Hao Ren took advantage of the moment when the little thing's attention was attracted to use it with lightning speed.
He grabbed the latter directly and tied the probe to the back of the little thing with two circles of transparent tape.
Of course, the little weakling showed great indignation, but after holding the piece of meat and taking a few bites, she forgot about this unpleasantness...
Then Hao Ren threw her into the large tunnel filled with endless darkness.
During the short period of waiting for the little one to return, Hao Ren and Vivian chatted casually, and the topic quickly turned to what Leah had said when she saw those ruins on the surface: about the Annuo ruins group, and the "outer world"
Visitor" conjecture.
"This world can basically be confirmed not to be the home planet of the God-Slayers," Hao Ren said. "There are not only relics of the God-Slayers here - in fact, there are only a few relics of the God-Slayers here, except for their magnificent
Outside the palace, there are a large number of traces of alien civilizations of unknown origin, and according to the information provided by Leah, these ancient relics are not likely to be left by the indigenous races of this planet."
Vivian has her own idea: "Part of them may be ancient civilizations that have completely disappeared."
"Yes, the ancient civilization has completely disappeared, so there will be no traces of subsequent inheritance in the relics they left, but this is certainly not all," Hao Ren nodded, "There are many Annuo relics, and a considerable part of them must be
It cannot be directly explained by the complete disappearance of ancient civilizations, they should really come from 'outside the sky'."
"At a certain period before the God-Slaying War, various races, including the God-Slaying Clan, suddenly visited this place, leaving traces of their respective civilizations on the land of Gurahrien, and then suddenly left at the same time.
"?" Vivian frowned and shook her head slightly, "The explanation doesn't make sense, we can't see the meaning of this, and it doesn't fit with our understanding of the God-killing clan. Moreover, we previously speculated that this world is the species of the Creation Goddess.
As for the Vault, the only reason why the God-killing clan came here is probably to destroy it. How do they follow a bunch of other races here and leave a bunch of landscape buildings and then suddenly run away?"
Hao Ren touched his chin: "...Blow up a wonder before the decisive battle to collect achievements?"
Vivian: "Play less games, especially those that will make you bald."
"There are too many things in this world that are difficult to explain, and there are contradictions everywhere," Hao Ren decisively changed the subject, "And now I remember a more concerning detail..."
"What details?"
"Do you still remember the information about the Great Tunnel that we found in Leah's library before?" Hao Ren reminded, "What is the description of the Great Tunnel?"
Vivian recalled while saying: "It is full of poisonous gas, and there are monsters wandering inside. Some large tunnels will corrupt and cover a large area of the surface world after being dug, and leave a black forest after the corruption disappears...
However, according to Leah, these studies on the large tunnels were actually completed in ordinary crypts on the periphery of the tunnels, and what was described was only the characteristics of those contaminated crypts."
Hao Ren looked around: "But we are in a place like this now. This underground palace and the caves here are directly connected to the large tunnel, which completely matches the description in the book and Leah, but -
What about the poisonous gas? Where about the monsters in the big tunnel? And what about those weird noises? There is only an empty underground palace in front of us, and we even set up camp in this underground palace."
In fact, these inconsistencies are not difficult to discover at all, but Hao Ren and his party lacked understanding of the Great Tunnel before, and the only information they had came from some "citizen scientists' works" that were neither rigorous nor detailed, so they were very confused.
It was difficult to realize the abnormality of the Great Tunnel when he first came into contact with it, but Hao Ren recalled his experience in the dead of night and felt something was wrong.
The tunnel he actually saw was completely different from what was described in the book.
Although Leah once disdainfully complained that most of the scholars who studied the Great Tunnel were talking nonsense, but on some basic issues (such as whether there are poisonous gases and monsters in the Great Tunnel), those scholars would make up this level of nonsense.
Is it a random fabrication? And it is still a random fabrication that everyone agrees on?
"Perhaps not all large tunnels are the same in every place," Vivian guessed, "Poison gas and monsters are probably not standard features."
Hao Ren smacked his lips: "Anyway, I think there is something wrong here. Let's look for more information later. After all, we have only read a few books. And we can't completely believe what Leah says - although she always speaks.
He seems confident and confident, but I always feel that a mage who directly attacks monsters in the wild with violent armor-piercing combos and then cleaves is not that reliable... By the way, how long has the little weakling been there? "
"It's been a while," Vivian looked at the big crack, "it's time to come back."
After staring at the motionless rift for a while, Hao Ren suddenly slapped his forehead: "Damn it, that little thing doesn't understand action plans and time concepts at all! What if she gets high inside and doesn't come back?
What to do? Where can we find her!"
Vivian also realized this problem, and her face suddenly turned a little ugly: "Should we tie a rope around her?"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "It doesn't work. The little chicken's 'anti-swallowing protection zone' must not be that big. The rope must be beyond her carrying range. It must be broken after entering."
"Then what if she really doesn't come back?" Vivian looked worried, "I don't know how big the tunnel is. What if she gets lost?"
"Can you just 'take' her back? Just like taking back your little bat," Hao Ren asked, "In the worst case, we won't need the probe."
"She is not a little bat, and she is very disobedient. I have to be at a very close distance to take her back." Vivian looked at her hand, "The distance should be beyond the distance now. Although the little weakling can fly
It’s very slow, but it’s been more than ten minutes since she went down.”
Hao Ren thought hard and started to move things from the portable space: "She won't run too far. I have experience that even if I let her move freely, she will only move within a small range. Now I'm trying to find a way to move it around."
She got it out..."
Hao Ren's words are indeed based on experience. This is a rule that he usually summarizes after letting the data terminal collect the living habits data of the little weak chickens: probably because of his small size, the concept of distance and range is different from ordinary people.
She runs a circle with a radius of ten meters to travel around the world...
After a moment, Vivian looked at the thing in Hao Ren's hand and fell into a daze: "Are you sure this thing can work?"
Hao Ren shook the fishing rod in his hand and nodded confidently: "Don't worry, there is nothing more attractive to her than this thing."
He moved a horse and sat on the edge of the big crevice, holding a fishing rod tightly in his hand - yes, it was the usual fishing type, but what hung at the end of the fishing line was not the bait, but a piece of fish with blood on it.
The raw meat slices, in order to prevent injury to small things, are not sharp fishhooks that go through the meat slices, but just an ordinary rope knot.
Of course, in order to prevent the meat pieces from being swallowed, this "bait" was suspended in mid-air by Hao Ren, less than half a meter away from the dark "horizon". Raw meat that has lost its vitality is obviously not a living thing, so it is not
The active phagocytic reaction of Dakengdao was not triggered.
Vivian glanced at the piece of meat tied at the end of the fishing line, and then looked at Hao Ren with a particularly strange look: "...I don't mean there is something wrong with the piece of meat, I mean your idea...what's wrong with your brain?"
How can you come up with such an idea?"
"So you can tell it's not a Chinese monster at first glance, and you can't even imagine that Jiang Taigong is fishing."
"Are you sure you are thinking about Jiang Taigong fishing and not because you spend too much time with Lily and your thoughts are strange?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren with disdain, "And that's called an allusion! What the hell is a joke...
"
Hao Ren spoke eloquently: "Aren't modern memes just ancient allusions? What's wrong with not allowing the language to evolve?"
Vivian wanted to say something more, but there was sudden movement in the rift.
As a shadow arrow in Brownian motion slowly flew up into the air, a small figure suddenly flew out of the darkness and pounced straight on the piece of meat in the air - the next moment she was completely dead.
On top of it, he refused to let go, as if he was determined to live or die with the piece of meat.
Vivian: "...This thing really works!"
No matter how fanciful Jiang Taigong's method of catching chickens was, it finally achieved the expected result. The weak chicken was successfully fished out, and the probe on her back was still there, and it didn't seem to be damaged at all.
This little thing can indeed bring the things you carry into the tunnel safely: although Hao Ren doesn't know what its real principle is.
"There is data!" Hao Ren carefully removed the probe from the little weakling (during this process, the little one never let go of his precious meat), then immediately checked the storage status of the device, and said happily, "Sure enough,
Just as I imagined, the probe has been operating normally under the protection of weak chickens, and it is full of photographed information!"
Without anyone's instructions, the data terminal next to me floated over on its own initiative: "Leave it to me!"
The images captured by the probe were quickly transferred to the holographic projection of the data terminal.
The environment inside the tunnel was obviously not suitable for filming - even though the probe had a very good information collection module, it was still severely interfered with. After powerful decoding by the data terminal, Hao Ren and Vivian finally saw the videos.
data, but the picture is still blurry and dim.
But at least there is a picture.
Hao Ren was finally able to confirm that there were indeed some debris floating in the tunnel, and the "building debris" captured by the previous sacrificed probe also existed.
But those are not the only things floating in the tunnel.
On the dim and blurry picture, some large-scale things flashed by - because the photographer was a little fool who was constantly spinning and flying around, the stability of the picture naturally cannot be counted on - the data terminal
Valuable parts were cut out from the image, sharpened several times and then enlarged. Hao Ren determined that the larger shadows were actually cities or plains floating in the dark void.
Fragmented palaces, cities, land, and even things like spaceships. Various fragments float in a dim and chaotic background, constantly rotating, drifting, colliding with each other, annihilating and reborn. Sometimes they just
Like phantoms, they present an obvious sense of nothingness, but sometimes they become extremely real, and even physically collide with the camera - that's when the weakling accidentally hits a broken piece.
Hao Ren and Vivian put their heads together and looked at the pictures processed by the data terminal attentively. These pictures contained a huge amount of information and seemed to vaguely reveal some secrets of the Great Tunnel. Moreover, Hao Ren also learned from the pictures
I felt a huge discrepancy and quickly figured out where this discrepancy came from.
"Scale, the scale is wrong."
