The Pillar Tribe not only has its own tribal name, but its architectural style is also completely different. In addition to wood, it also uses a large number of stones as materials.
There are wooden sheds with stone walls, various honeycomb-shaped stone houses made of stones, and animal pens surrounded by stones.
There were many people in the tribe, at least several times as many as the purple tribe. They gathered around the mountain in large and small groups, but they did not suffer any weird attacks.
Thinking about it, it must have been that strange pillar that protected them.
Zi was led by a group of soldiers towards the top of the mountain, and the dragon warrior whispered.
"Lady Anissa is waiting for you!"
In the square paved with gravel under the giant pillar, there are criss-crossing stone walls, like a maze.
Anissa, the leader of the Pillar Tribe, is waiting for Zi outside the maze.
It was a brown-haired woman, which was normal. Most of the controllers of the dragon tribe were women, maintaining the matriarchal social structure.
The other party stood barefoot on the stones. The tight-fitting black sheathed straight sarong outlined the perfect lines of the other party's body, emphasizing the fullness of the chest. The exposed arms further highlighted the charm of the woman.
Her skin was so delicate and white that it was completely inhuman, like a white pearl wrapped in black satin.
She tied up her brown hair high, exposing the line of her neck. She did not have the wildness of ordinary tribal women when walking, but she exuded a kind of majesty, not like the majesty of a superior, but like the majesty of a lion.
If you pay attention to the opponent's pert buttocks, you will find that the opponent does not have a dragon tail, which is a bit concerning.
"I brought her here!"
The dragon warrior brought Zi over. He kept his head down the whole time. When he came to the other party, he immediately trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to look at the other party. He seemed to be very afraid of Anissa.
Anissa did not look at the dragon warrior, but looked left and right at Zi when she met for the first time.
"Hello, Prophet."
Zi knew that the person in front of her was the initiator of everything. She mustered up the courage to raise her head and face him: "Why do you do this?"
Anissa said: "Because of you."
Zi said: "I only occasionally see some useless pictures, it's not worth what you do."
Anisa: "Do you know why Weird attacked the dragon people's village?"
Zi didn't know why the woman in front of her suddenly changed the topic to this issue. She just reflexively said: "To them, we are like food, they want to eat us."
Anisa leaned forward slightly, looked at Zi's face and shook her head: "You are wrong, because they envy you."
Zi felt that Anisa's words had a very strange feeling, not the words themselves, but the angle represented by them.
But she didn't think too much and asked the most obvious question.
"Envy us?"
"We are so weak."
She felt unreasonable, because those weird things were so powerful, even the weakest weird things were extremely dangerous to dragon people.
And those powerful weirdos can even control celestial phenomena and play with the laws.
Anissa: "But you have wisdom."
Zi: "Wisdom?"
Anisha: "Yes, all they want is your mind, your fragile body."
"They are like bugs in the night, chasing the light of fire."
"And you are the fire."
Anissa held Zi's face and said softly.
"They come one after another, just wanting to be you."
Zi suddenly understood something.
It was as if she longed to see those things that were so ordinary to ordinary people, but they were her wishful thinking.
And for those weird people, the same goes for having wisdom.
Anissa straightened up, raised her chin slightly, and said while walking towards the giant pillar.
"But ordinary bodies are useless for monsters. Only the bodies of those with special talents can accommodate monsters, especially those that are particularly powerful."
"Your body is the best carrier for weirdness."
"As long as they can find people like you, they can have wisdom."
"Feel the real light."
"But it's not that simple to complete this step. Weird, the road to wisdom is so difficult."
Anissa walked under the pillar and raised her head to look at the pillar.
"As for the pillar, it has the power to seal weird things, sealing all weird things that dare to get close to it."
"But on the other hand, it can also allow the weirdness to integrate with people to the maximum extent, without destroying the fragile body of the person."
"We are going to put a carefully selected monster into your body and create a monster that is intelligent and can communicate."
"In this case, the dragon people will truly have the power to fight against this weird world and create a new situation."
Anissa finally revealed her purpose. They had mastered the power to seal and banish strange things, but this could only protect themselves within the confines of this mountain.
They are not satisfied with this.
What they want is not only to resist those weird things on a small scale, but also to directly possess those weird powers.
The dragon warriors cheered and praised Anissa loudly.
"Yes, we must have the power to fight against weirdness."
"With the strange power, we can further expand the tribe, making it ten times or a hundred times larger than it is now."
"We no longer have to drive other people out, and we can turn more places into habitats."
"Thank you, Lady Anissa."
Everyone looked at Anisa and Zi with expectations and madness in their eyes.
They and the dragon people have been looking forward to this day for too long.
Only then did Zi realize that the other party actually wanted to put those terrifying and weird seals into her body.
She was trembling with fear, but then she thought, everyone was already dead.
She was alone, so what was there to be afraid of?
She couldn't see anything, and it was impossible to survive in this world without her tribe members.
"You will be punished," she said.
Unfortunately, Zi is not a strong person.
An existence that grew up in darkness is as weak as a candle in a dark night.
Her hatred and curses also appeared timid and powerless.
Her hair covered Zi's face, revealing her gray eyes and face without hope.
Anisa didn't say anything more, she just asked people to send Zi into the maze.
Anissa looked at Zi's back: "How long until the target is reached?"
Only then did the dragon warrior behind him realize that he was asking himself: "We should be here within a few days, Lady Anissa."
——
In the maze.
Zi finally stood at the foot of the giant pillar, raising her head and looking up to the sky just like she did in her dream.
Under the night sky, the pillar stands beneath the stars, on top of the mountains.
She couldn't see it, but she could feel it faintly.
"Is this the pillar?"
"What is that on the pillar?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve had some illusions in my mind after watching it for a long time, or if it’s because I’ve dreamed about this pillar before.
In a daze, she actually saw a glowing figure floating on the pillar, overlooking her and the world.
She was fascinated by the glowing figure, and she actually saw it until early morning.
At dawn, the dragon warrior brought food to Zi.
Zi raised her head and remained motionless: "Can you see it?"
The dragon warrior followed her gaze and asked, "What do you see?"
Zi said: "There is someone!"
The dragon warrior couldn't see anything: "Who is it?"
Only then did Zi realize that only she could see that figure.
She no longer mentioned the human figure, but asked the dragon warrior: "Why did you do that kind of thing?"
The dragon warrior said: "For my tribe, we need your power to obtain a special weird power that can help us break down the barriers of civilization."
"Lady Anissa has said that the dragon people have been born for tens of thousands of years, but since then we have been wandering in the same place."
"Only when more than 10,000 tribes are established and more than 100,000 dragon people gather together, can we build a civilization that truly belongs to us."
Zi: "Civilization?"
The dragon warrior said yearningly: "Yes, civilization."
"That's what every intelligent ethnic group must have."
"With civilization, we can fight against those weird things and become the protagonists of this world."
Zi is just a blind girl. She can't escape this maze and the top of the mountain. The dragon warrior just said a little more.
"We have found the legendary fetus of strange life reproduction, and will give you its power."
Zi has also heard of this strange thing, because it has appeared in this area before.
I heard that it was an extremely huge monster, as big as a city, with the shape of a uterus and placenta.
It can resurrect the dead, but the resurrected person can never leave its body.
However, what she heard was just the appearance of this weirdness. There are few people in this world who can truly understand the power of those weirdnesses.
The dragon warrior actually didn't know Anisa's detailed plan and specific operation steps. He didn't even know what the true ability of the Life Reproduction Fetus was. All he could know was just some superficial knowledge.
Zi: "That's not me anymore."
If your body is taken away by a monster, even if you can still maintain your original appearance, will you still be your original self?
Zi stopped talking.
For survival, for the future, for the tribe.
No matter how high-sounding the other party said, it could not change the fact that they destroyed their own tribe and then allowed a monster to occupy their body.
In the following days, Zi did not speak.
She looked at the figure on the pillar day after day, as if her soul had been taken away.
"Who is he?"
"What does he seem to be talking about?"
"What on earth are you talking about?"
The sun rises and the moon sets.
The sun rises behind you in the morning and sets in front of you in the evening.
Light and darkness alternate, stars and clouds alternate.
As she stared at that existence, her consciousness seemed to be constantly being pulled into the distance, towards a distant unknown place.
She felt like time had stood still, and the figure and voice became clearer and clearer.
Finally, late one night, she heard the being inside the pillar shouting.
He is talking.
"I can't see anything."
His voice was hoarse, echoing in the endless darkness.
That sound was not any language, but the thoughts that reached the deepest part of my heart. It conveyed not only the meaning, but also the silent despair in the roar.
And this sentence touched Zi's heart.
It was as if she had found someone who sympathized with her in this dark world.
Her expression changed instantly, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Are you locked in darkness too?"
She stretched out her hand towards the figure that seemed to be high up but actually did not exist in this world.
"me too!"
"I am also trapped in the darkness, and I can't see anything. I want to see the world with my own eyes."
She asked the other party: "My name is Zi, what is your name?"
But the being on the pillar didn't respond to her.
She understood: "So you can't even hear the sound?"
"That's...so sad."
Soon, the scheduled date arrived.
Zi was changed into a white robe by several women from the Pillar Tribe, and she sat quietly deep in the maze under the pillars, waiting for the strange thing called the fetus of life reproduction.
Everyone in the entire Pillar Tribe was hiding in the stone house at the foot of the mountain. No one dared to go out. They covered their mouths in fear and did not even dare to make a sound, as if they were afraid of being noticed by the coming existence.
The wind arrived first.
Then came the black clouds.
Finally, it started to rain.
Zi raised her head. Although the rain was falling, she only heard the sound but did not feel the rain falling at all.
Because a layer of strange power isolated the mountain, blocking that strange power from the outside.
Sometimes, not being able to see may be a kind of happiness.
Because what appears on Zihe Mountain at this moment is a terrifyingly large and extremely ugly existence. It is a huge flesh-and-blood uterus and placenta with purple-red tentacles.
Bumps of flesh and blood covered the entire sky, pressing down bit by bit from above the black clouds.
And if you look carefully, you can see thousands of faces squeezed out of the flesh, shouting downwards through a blood-red film.
They appear to be alive, but in fact they are just zombies and puppets.
Such scenes and pictures, even just looking at them, can make people despair and crazy.
This kind of Ranzhui tomb is loyal to the tomb?
Its appearance affects the celestial phenomena, and is accompanied by invisible radiation. All people who see it and are close to it will be affected by it.
"ah!"
The strange thing just appeared, and I saw a young man at the foot of the mountain who didn't know the height of the sky, looking outside. As a result, he went crazy the moment he saw the embryo of life and reproduction.
He pushed open the door and ran outside, running out of the range affected and covered by the pillar's power.
Then he was pulled up to the sky by the weird tentacles and melted directly in the rain, but there was one more walking corpse screaming inside the weird body.
Zi couldn't see such a scene, but she heard the cries of the walking dead.
"I don't want to die, I want to live."
"I want to live truly in this world."
"Come talk to me!"
"Look at me, look at me... don't forget me."
"Please remember my appearance."
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a weird thing that lures mortals on the earth to peek into the taboo of death and touch the edge of madness.
But Zi, who only relied on hearing, heard another layer of meaning.
That voice was so sincere and full of strong emotions, it didn't look like it could be shouted by a walking corpse.
She remembered Anissa's words: "Because they envy you."
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was the cry of the person trapped in the strange body called the fetus of life reproduction, or the cry of the strange body itself towards the world and the intelligent species on the earth.
The pillar emits a powerful force, seeming to warn of the strangeness in the sky, which is its absolutely insurmountable limit.
However, the fetus of life reproduction is unwilling to leave.
It is still lingering in the sky, constantly squeezing towards the maze on the mountain top below. Countless faces squeeze out from the purple-red placental membrane, staring at the purple below.
It seems that there is a treasure below that it has been looking for for countless years, and there is something it must get.
It rained harder.
There was even a flood in the distance.
Eventually, it emits a bright red light like the setting sun.
Dyeing the whole world with blood.
Even though it knew there was something more terrifying below, it still pounced down without hesitation.
It's like a moth flying into a flame.
Pounce towards the light, towards the wisdom it wants.
It penetrated the barrier set up by the pillar, and the body was completely shattered, completely transformed into endless red light.
Such a terrifying weirdness, yet pitifully fragile in front of that giant pillar.
But even so, it was broken into pieces and still ran towards the figure standing under the pillar, pouring into the opponent's body like the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zi, who was looking up at the sky, floated up the moment she was hit by the "setting sun".
Her body is constantly changing, and her skin, internal organs, and limbs are all being modified by an invisible force.
Become taller, become more perfect, and no longer look like a dragon.
The form of God.
More importantly, she saw it.
She saw the world for the first time, looking into the distance along the endless red light. The setting sun dyed the mountains all over, and even the jungles and lakes turned red.
She raised her head and saw the huge ancient stone pillar.
The ancient and vicissitudes of the pillars are still finely carved in stone after years, depicting a wonderful world.
Everything was just like in her dream.
A feeling of happiness poured into her body. Yes, just seeing it was enough to make people feel happy.
But what followed was endless madness, the instinct of an intelligenceless monster that crazily wanted to take over her body and everything about her.
I want to possess her wisdom and use her wisdom to experience the world.
Just like she longs for light in the darkness.
Feeling the monster's desire, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
I don't want to leave this world like this.
She had just seen the world with her own eyes.
"Do you want my body so much? But I also want to see more of this world!"
She felt a strange desire to do whatever it took, but the more this happened, the more she missed the beautiful world she had just seen.
The pillars radiate light.
She kept floating higher, and she felt that her body was losing control little by little.
Suddenly, she thought of the shadow.
She immediately looked towards the top of the pillar.
Through her real eyes, she finally saw the outline of that person, not light and shadow, but the appearance of a young man.
She struggled towards the other party with all her strength and stretched out her hand towards him.
"help me!"
He raised his hand high and the white cloth slid down his arm.
The palm seemed to have crossed the space and was handed to the other person.
Two invisible people touched their hands.
A name appeared on the pillar.
That's a Chinese character.
meaning is.
purple.
Zi didn't recognize the word, but the moment he saw it, he knew it was his name.
A smile appeared on her face: "So, you heard it!"
With his name engraved on the pillar, Zi felt that his consciousness and spirit were anchored at a certain solid point. Even if the madness and weird instincts deep in his body came like a violent storm, they could not completely drown Zi.
.
But the weird feeling of being about to have wisdom is completely different. It feels like a channel has been opened between itself and an extremely terrifying existence.
It was not sealed, but devoured.
The weird and crazy scream and roar was finally drawn into the pillar, and a strange-looking stone carving appeared on the pillar.
At the same time, the power of the embryo of life reproduction began to create a body.
As the purple fingertips spread, the cell tissue began to spread.
First the hands, then the shoulders, and finally the whole body.
Finally.
Black hair, black eyes.
——
In a stone building at the foot of the mountain, Anissa was watching the entire process. She had already laid out and designed the entire process, and she was as skilled as if she had practiced it before.
She looked directly at the terrifying and strange fetus of life reproduction, but was not affected by it at all.
But when Zi's palm crossed the distance of space and time and grabbed the hand of the person on the pillar, Anissa suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She couldn't see the light and shadow, but she noticed something unusual.
"What did she do?"
Anissa immediately ran towards the maze on the mountain. The speed was very slow at first, but it turned into an afterimage in a moment.
She dodged and appeared on the outermost wall of the maze.
At this time, she happened to see the created body of the young man in the shape of a god.
A moment.
Anisa felt a severe chill from the deepest part of her chest to the center of her brows.
The cold was so cold that she felt like she couldn't breathe, and even her brain hurt, but the pain couldn't suppress the shock in her heart, and the sound broke out from her mouth.
"Black hair, black eyes!"
"How can it be?"
Anisa seems to know part of the concept and meaning of black hair and black eyes, or she knows that this is definitely not something ordinary people or even gods can possess.
It was precisely because of this that she was so frightened that she felt like she had lost her soul.
The moment she came back to her senses, she ran frantically in the direction of the pillar.
At this time, the rituals, the power of the fetus of reproduction of life, and the prophet purple become unimportant.
"It turns out, that's what it is."
"This is the secret of the pillar, this is its real secret."
Anissa suddenly felt a strong sense of regret. She had been guarding the pillar, but she had never discovered that such a terrible secret was hidden deep in the pillar.
Those speculations she had in the past were nothing compared to the true existence of the pillar itself.
And this secret also gave her the answer and hope she had been waiting for.
She burst out with a powerful force and ran towards Zhu, but while her eyes were only on the black-haired man, she forgot that at this time, Zhu's power was still sealing the strange thing called the fetus of life reproduction, connecting the world to the unknown.
dissipate.
Before Anisa could run under the pillar, she was pulled into it by a force.
It seems that Anessa and Weird, who burst out with power under Zhu's judgment, are the same kind of existence.
Anissa was drawn into the pillar and dragged towards the inside of the pillar.
Her body became blurry for an instant, and at the same time, a dark and twisted shadow emerged from behind her.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
However, she didn't care about this at all.
While she was releasing her strength to fight against Zhu's seal, her eyes were still looking at Zihe and the black-haired young man. She tried her best to struggle out from under Zhu's seal and looked outside.
But in the last scene, what she saw was Zi leading the black-haired young man to the other end of the maze.
"No!"
"Come back to me."
She burst into an anxious voice and shouted angrily at Zi.
The end of the maze.
Zi glanced at Anisa, but ignored her at all.
at last.
She hugged the black-haired young man and jumped off the cliff at the top of the mountain.
Anissa screamed unwillingly. In her opinion, this was Zi's greatest revenge and punishment for her.
At the same time, the power of the pillar also underwent some changes due to the birth of Anissa and the reproduction of strange life forms, as well as the black-haired man.
The force begins to shrink inwards.
Without the protection of the power exuded by the pillars, the pillar tribe, which far exceeds the ordinary tribe's population, is like a huge bonfire in the dark night, attracting more and more weird things from all directions and descending here.
It also brought disaster to the Pillar Tribe.
One after another, terrifying shadows descended and pounced on the light in their eyes.
One of the flame shadows fell, turning the entire Pillar Tribe into a sea of fire.
"ah!"
"Weird, weird is coming."
"Zhu, please protect us."
"Lord Anissa, where has Lady Anissa gone?"
There were shouts and screams, and they were soon drowned in the sea of fire.
In the dense forest, Zi was running fast. She felt that this body seemed to have inexhaustible power, as if part of the strange life reproduction embryo still remained in her body.
A bright light appeared in the distance, and she looked back from a distance.
But the most terrifying thing that caught my eye was not the sea of fire.
But on the top of the mountain above the sea of fire, a terrifying snake-like monster was wrapped around a huge pillar, making a terrifying cry exactly like Anissa's.
"column!"
"Zhu, you stole my Zhu."
"That's my thing."
"Mine, that's mine."
The monster screamed in all directions like crazy, as if the whole world had been lost.
"I have guarded Him for ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years!"
"I finally figured out His secret."
"He is not some ancient seal or some ancient relic. He is a man with black hair and black eyes."
"You can't take Him away."
"You can't take him away, he's mine."
Zi couldn't understand Anissa's words, but she suddenly understood when she looked at the weird thing wrapped around the pillar.
It turns out that she was not the first person to undergo such a ceremony, Anissa was the first.
No, she is not a dragon named Anissa at all.
She is just a being whose body is possessed by weirdness.
Zi picked up the young man with black hair and black eyes and fled out of the forest without looking back.
