Zi Chen was shocked when he saw the baby crawling out of the spring.
There is life in the spring water, so the baby that was swallowed by the spider before must have come from here.
After the baby climbed out of the spring, the first thing he saw was Zi Chen.
He didn't get close, didn't show any closeness, or was afraid.
He seemed to be hesitating carefully, and finally crawled in another direction.
After crawling about ten steps, he had already learned to walk and staggered away.
Zi Chen took another look at the water spring. He originally wanted to get some spring water to study it, but now he gave up the idea.
Perhaps, this is the fountain of life?
Is it the place in the illusion that the person mentioned?
Zi Chen secretly followed the baby, and after walking five hundred meters, the baby was already walking as fast as flying.
Then he met a wolf dog and a fight broke out between the two sides.
The baby's fighting style looks no different from that of a wolfdog. They are both very primitive, biting, scratching and staring.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a new life that was just born.
The result of this battle was beyond Zi Chen's expectation. The newborn baby actually won.
Then the baby tore it apart and devoured the wolf, dog, and other beast.
Mouth full of blood.
And that small body actually grew a lot after eating a whole wolf dog, and was now over one meter tall.
After finishing the food, he seemed to look back at the direction of Zi Chen, and then continued forward.
Zi Chen had no purpose at the moment, so he decided to see where the baby would end up.
The other party moved forward and then encountered a spider.
The two sides fought.
In the end, the baby won, but his body was also covered with wounds, and his abdomen was even pierced by a spider's legs.
This is a powerful spider.
Then the baby swallowed the spider whole, including bones and flesh.
He has grown taller and fatter, and when he devoured the spider, the wounds on his body healed visibly to the naked eye.
After the third battle, the baby was already a young man.
It seems that in the process of fighting and devouring, his intelligence is also evolving. After hunting an alien beast again, he left the alien beast's fur behind, wrapped it around his body, and covered certain parts.
As the young man moved forward, everything he saw was hunted down one by one and turned into food.
It's just that the subsequent growth rate is not as fast as it was at the beginning.
But it had only been a few days, and the young man was growing up at an alarming rate.
His strength also gradually became stronger during the battle, and even spiritual power was born in his body.
Without cultivating skills, one can grow by swallowing them. Zi Chen became more and more curious about the life forms in the spiritual spring before.
Continuing forward, we met another wolfdog, but it was relatively small in size. It was as big as a calf, which was a big difference from the one we met before.
For the young man, there was no suspense in this battle at all.
Step forward and take action.
The light of spiritual power instantly suppressed the wolf-dog and pinned the opponent down with one leg.
Then it's time to end life and then devour it.
Zi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw a human hand suddenly growing out of the wolf dog's body. The palm seemed to be boneless, bending and twisting irregularly, and quietly came behind the young man.
puff!
The palm of his hand pierced the boy's body and pulled out a still-beating heart.
The proud smile on the young man's face froze, and his body fell straight down. There seemed to be disbelief in his eyes.
Along the way, I have experienced many battles, big and small, and I never thought that my boat would capsize in the gutter.
The palm came from the belly of the wolf dog, and it grabbed the heart and swallowed it into its belly.
The injuries on his body began to repair.
Then it began to devour the young man's body. After it had swallowed the whole body, its aura began to grow.
The body size has also grown, comparable to that of an adult bison.
A human arm stretched out from the abdomen, and then scratched his head, his eyes shining with wisdom.
Then, the body becomes smaller again.
Showing weakness to the enemy, Zi Chen understood.
It seems that the boy's death was not unjust.
Now that he's here, Zi Chen plans to go deeper, because if nothing happens, the young man will keep walking in this direction as long as he lives.
Zi Chen deliberately avoided the opponent. The Spider King he killed not long ago should also have this kind of strength.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zi Chen moved, the wolf dog noticed something unusual and stared in Zi Chen's direction.
Zi Chen appeared and looked at each other.
Then he moved to the side, trying to distance the two sides.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually attacked Zi Chen.
"Actually, your wisdom is not as good as that of the previous one. He was just careless."
Zi Chen smiled faintly and held the broken knife in his hand instead of retreating.
With the flash of the sword, the wolf-dog was split into two, and the palm that had stretched behind Zi Chen collapsed as the wolf-dog died.
Zi Chen walked forward with a knife in hand. Not long after, he saw another village. There were still no living people in it. This village was larger than the previous one. As soon as Zi Chen entered the village, he saw several human babies.
This means that there may be a spring of life here. Zi Chen went to search around and found a new spring of life.
After waiting here for a day, a baby came out.
But he may lack wisdom. After he appeared, he attacked Zi Chen, but was chopped down with a sword.
During this period, Zi Chen once again took out a drop of the fountain of youth and asked Broken Sword to refine it.
Until now, Zi Chen still didn't know where this place was, so he could only walk around aimlessly.
"Where is the opportunity in Longtan? Is it really possible to jump into this spring?"
Zi Chen looked at the third spring with some sadness.
If he hadn't had the previous fantasy encounter, he would definitely have entered it to explore, but after the fantasy encounter, Zi Chen didn't dare to enter it.
But there is nothing special about anything around except the spring water that can give birth to life.
Zi Chen could only continue to move forward. When he saw the fifth fountain of life, he finally made a discovery.
There was a man sitting cross-legged next to the spring, as if he was practicing meditation.
This is the first human being that Zi Chen has met since he has been here for so long. Whether he is an enemy or a friend, Zi Chen feels a sense of intimacy.
Holding a broken knife in hand.
Zi Chen moved forward.
If you are a friend, drink good wine.
If they are enemies, they must be sent on their way.
Before Zi Chen could get closer, the other party noticed something unusual and turned around.
The moment the two sides looked at each other, they were stunned.
The being sitting cross-legged in front is not a human, but a wolfdog with a human face.
There are also human arms, replacing the two front legs.
It's like some kind of alien that failed to transform.
Zi Chen was shocked.
But when the other party saw Zi Chen, he was even more shocked.
After a moment, it spoke, "...alien...human!"
Zi Chen was surprised, "You can speak?"
Subconsciously he put away the broken knife and walked forward.
"You...crossed...the boundary..."
The other party spoke intermittently, but fortunately it was still clear and Zi Chen could understand it.
"What do you mean, can you tell me more specifically?" Zi Chen took the initiative to stop.
The spring water was gurgling, and a baby emerged from it.
The other party turned his head, raised his hand and shot out a ray of light. The baby was split into two and fell into the fountain of life again.
Suddenly, the other party seemed to remember something, looked at Zi Chen up and down again, and then said in shock: "An outsider!"
"oh?"
Zi Chen smiled.
Maybe this time, I finally made a discovery.
Outsiders is obviously the name given to those who enter Longtan.
And if the other party can recognize his identity as an outsider, he naturally knows something about this place.
But before Zi Chen could ask, the other party turned around and ran away.
It runs upright, and its legs are still unevolved animal legs.
That is, dog legs.
But it was extremely fast and there was light underfoot.
Zi Chen smiled slightly and followed.
After a while, Zi Chen came from a distance carrying the transformed beast.
The other party's head was hunched, and you could see that his face was covered in bruises and bruises.
Zi Chen threw it next to the spring again, and then said: "Come on, let's talk about it."
The other person's body was curled up and trembling, obviously he was scared.
The memory in my mind is indeed true, outsiders are very powerful and terrifying.
When seeing outsiders, the only way to survive is to run.
But from the current point of view, I can't even run.
"You are an outsider, you shouldn't be here."
I don't know if it was because he was afraid of death, but the other party's words became obviously sharper at this moment.
This is also because the other party was stumbling when talking before, and his head was constantly hit by Zi Chen's fist.
"Why shouldn't outsiders appear here?" Zi Chen asked curiously: "If you want to survive, tell everything you know completely, otherwise you will die."
The other party's body trembled again.
"Outsiders all have cores and shouldn't be here... Those who exist here have no cores."
The other party's speech was still somewhat choppy, and his body was shaking violently.
Zi Chen keenly grasped the word core.
It may be the energy core, or it may be the spiritual power in your own body, or other forces.
"He, don't you have one?" Zi Chen knelt down and looked down at the other party.
"No, no, I didn't!"
The other party quickly shook his head, as if he was afraid of being robbed by Zi Chen.
"Oh? Really not?" Zi Chen smiled, "How about I cut open your body and take a look?"
"My core is very small and useless to you." The other party said anxiously, "You should go to the depths. The core there is very big and useful to you."
Later, under Zi Chen's guidance, the other party knew everything and said everything.
Of course, fear of death is also real.
The core is the source of power, located right at the heart.
After the nucleus is born, a series of changes will occur in the body.
Like finally becoming a human being.
These all come from the memories deep in the wolf dog's mind. After possessing the core, these memories slowly emerged.
There isn't much about the outsiders, except that they are very powerful, come here just to plunder, and run away when they see them.
In fact, according to the strength of the wolf dog, he should have entered it long ago, but he was afraid of death and did not go in.
Instead, he stayed in front of a spring of life and hunted the life born here, just for the core.
According to it, the reason why it was able to give birth to a nucleus was because it hunted and killed a new life form.
The opponent's body has its own nucleus.
"Then how long have you been staying here?"
Zi Chen knew before that the other party had a sense of time.
The other party hesitated for a moment, "...Three hundred years."
"Three hundred years?"
Zi Chen was shocked.
After staying here for three hundred years, the second core has not been found, which shows how low the probability is.
"Why are there no humans here?"
Zi Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.
