Chapter 2554 is absolutely superior to Wang Qi (9)
Chapter 2554 A decisive victory over Wang Qi (9)
"Okay. You guessed it right." Faced with Bedivere's question, Bereld chose to answer honestly and asked: "But how did you guess it right?"
"It's just a very simple reasoning." Bedivere scratched his head: "A deformed human with four arms? He was treated as a monster and was abandoned by his parents at birth, as a matter of course; he grew up in an orphanage and was discriminated against, as a matter of course; in his heart
Dark, misguided, and then inexplicably committed a crime and became a slave, of course. Since you are a slave, it is not impossible to be sent to work in similar mines. This also explains your understanding of these mines and your
The cave is extremely familiar. If you are just an ordinary adventurer, you should be more familiar with the situation of [Pan God's Cave], but not pay too much attention to the mine. But now it seems that it is the other way around."
"Your reasoning is absolutely correct, little furball." The gladiator said with a strange smile: "Or maybe Mr. Bedivere, the famous detective?"
"Exaltation." The werewolf youth looked at Bereld with some hostility: "Your in-depth knowledge of the cave is far beyond what a miner needs to master. The reason is very simple. You planned to escape when you were a slave miner.
The mining area escaped into [Pan's Cave]. So you have carefully studied all the knowledge of survival in the cave that you need to escape."
"Famous reasoning." Bereld nodded.
"So... answer me honestly, are you really a slave who escaped from the mine? If I know your secret, will you be killed?"
"What the hell." The gladiator scratched his bald head: "Have you forgotten my nickname, little fur ball?"
"Gladiator..." the werewolf young man groaned: "Oh, so you couldn't escape after all."
"There were seven companions who escaped with me, and they all died in the cave. I was the only one who managed to make it to the exit of the cave. However, it was no use. I was exhausted, hungry, cold, and collapsed at the exit of the cave. I was eventually captured.
." The gladiator smiled bitterly and said: "Facts have proved that it is impossible for slave miners who have no food and clothing to escape from the mine. If emergency food is not prepared in advance, they will be hungry and tired and collapse on the way.
In the huge maze [Pan's Cave]."
"I don't feel too tired..."
"Isn't this nonsense? You are using prepared caving equipment. You don't have to climb over the rock wall with your own hands. Of course you won't be tired!"
"All right."
"In short, after knowing that I had the ability to escape, my then slave owner could no longer rest assured that I would continue to work in the mine - he knew that I would definitely find an opportunity to escape again.
Even if he couldn't escape, dying in the cave would still be a loss to him." The gladiator shrugged and said, "So he sold me to another place, the Colosseum in Rome. I spent a lot of effort but couldn't.
After escaping from the mine, the arena became the place where I gained my freedom, which is ironic enough."
"You are indeed more suitable for fighting than exploring." Bedivere whispered.
"Um?!"
"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it." The werewolf youth changed the topic and said: "So, Elder Karzan is really nice to have a friend like you. In the end, he was the only one who actually successfully escaped from the cave."
"You...!" Bereld was shocked for a moment, and then it took him a few seconds to return to his original calmness: "Awesome, awesome, it really is the famous detective Bediwell. How did you deduce it?
?"
"There is no reasoning, this part is all my intuition. I just don't think a geologist would find a bloody gladiator as an adventure guide for no reason, unless he has known you from the beginning."
"Okay." The bald man was convinced, while tapping his bald head: "You are right. The Great Karzan was indeed one of the seven companions who escaped with me back then, and he was also the only one who escaped. Many years later
When he came to my door, I was quite surprised. I never expected that a slave would become a famous geologist. But that was all many years ago, and the Great Karzan is no longer around. I just
I hope you won’t spread this matter. The people in the Brotherhood don’t know the secret of Big Karzan at all, and even his son Little Karzan doesn’t know about it.”
"If the people in the Brotherhood know that the elder Karzan was a slave, his reputation will be damaged, and the self-esteem of the younger Karzan will also be hurt, right?" Bedivere smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, this matter is said
Going out won't do me any good, so I won't say anything nonsense."
"Huh." Gladiator Bereld gave the werewolf youth a mysterious smile.
"What are you laughing at? It's so disgusting."
"I seem to be able to understand to some extent why the people of the Meyerson Brotherhood regard you as a prophet." Bereld smiled and said: "Having such a strong reasoning and association ability, and extremely accurate intuition, this is indeed consistent with [
Prophet] the quality of this identity."
"Even if you say this, I won't be happy. The people from the fraternity just call it this without permission, and I have never promised to help them."
"Don't you like the appointed position?"
"It's just because it was clearly arranged that it makes people annoying!" The werewolf young man pouted in grievance.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!" Bereld burst into laughter, and the loud laughter echoed in the mine.
"Idiot, are you crazy? Doing this will attract ------"
There was sudden movement in the distance, so the two of them immediately squatted down and found a wooden cart nearby as a cover to hide.
Sure enough, three fluid monsters came over. They were the same kind of fluid snakes that Bedivere had seen before. It seemed inappropriate to say they were "giant snakes". The snake-shaped fluid monsters that appeared here were bigger than those in [Pan's Cave] before.
What appeared was more than one circle missing.
"Look at the good things you have done." The werewolf young man rolled his eyes at Bereld and scolded him silently with his eyes.
"Is it my fault?" The bald man shrugged.
The three monsters began to walk back and forth (swim) in the area where the oil lamps were lit in the mine, sniffing the lit oil lamps one by one. Bereld was right, although the oil lamps made a faint crackling sound when they burned.
(Incomplete combustion caused by low purity of mineral oil), but because of their large number, they can distract the attention of these fluid monsters very well. The sound they make is roughly equivalent to the heartbeats of Bediwell and the others, and these blind fluid monsters
Monsters can't tell the difference.
After sniffing them one by one, they quickly lost interest in the oil lamps, probably thinking that it was just a natural phenomenon and not an enemy that needed to be attacked.
Then...something strange happened.
Three fluid snakes began to form a circle on an open platform in the middle of the mining area and started fighting. This inexplicable fighting made Bediwell confused, but it seemed that those monsters were not just playing for fun, but real monsters.
They slashed each other with their fluid blades. For a moment, there was a continuous silver light shining in the mine that was filled with sparks of fire. The light and shadow of the swords reflected the surrounding firelight, making it dazzling.
"What are they doing?" the werewolf young man asked in a low voice.
"I have never seen this phenomenon, but they should be preying on each other." Bereld replied in a low voice.
"Prey... the same kind?"
"They must, otherwise what else can they eat?" replied the gladiator.
Indeed, those are all inorganic things that are simulating living things. It is impossible for inorganic things to eat other living things to fill their stomachs. Of course, inorganic things eat inorganic things... to strengthen themselves. But why didn't you do anything before?
, why do they start to prey on each other at this time? This is another mystery.
In the rapid exchange of blades and swords, one of the fluid snakes was quickly defeated, and it was obvious that it could not keep up with the movements of the other two snake monsters. After making several dodge errors, it was quickly cut into pieces by the fluid blade.
Several pieces were broken into clusters of ice blue crystals. Then the other two big snakes moved at the same time, running towards one of the fragments of the defeated big snake, as if they wanted to snatch something.
One of the big snakes moved a little faster and arrived before its opponent. It used the fluid blade to cut into pieces of the defeated fluid snake, and a look was revealed among the fragments wrapped in crystal.
What looks different from other crystals is the shimmering sky-blue crystal core.
"That is high-purity light stone." Bereld explained. In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Bediwell could understand it. Although most of the bodies of these fluid monsters are composed of [hydrotalcite], the core is still [light stone]
], which contains their "souls".
The core of the defeated fluid snake was shattered in an instant, and the big snake that took action pounced on it, greedily absorbing the broken light stones like swallowing delicious food. Countless fluid crystals surrounded the broken light stone fragments,
They were inhaled into the body. Then the ice blue fluid crystals scattered on the ground began to gather together and merged with the fluid snake that had just absorbed the light stone fragments.
The monster instantly grew in size, and there was a clear size difference between it and the other remaining fluid snake.
"I see. After it absorbed the [Light Stone Core], it put the remaining [Hydrotalcite] crystals under its control and made itself bigger." The bald man analyzed in a low voice while watching: "[Hydrotalcite]
] is a kind of memory crystal, but it cannot move on its own and needs [Light Stone] to control it. The larger the [Light Stone Core] is, the more hydrotalcite crystals it can control."
"Maybe it has nothing to do with the size of the core..." Bedivere couldn't help but hum.
That is already at the level of a spirit body. Those light stone cores contain spirits, probably wild spirits, existing like evil spirits. If they are just scattered spirits, their abilities are limited and they can control
The amount of [hydrotalcite] is of course limited.
But spirit bodies attract each other, and under certain conditions, can devour each other. A spirit body devours another spirit body to strengthen itself, and then it can control more [hydrotalcite] fluid crystals, making itself stronger in a physical sense.
powerful.
In short, the weak eat the strong, and if they continue to prey, the strong will become stronger.
This is completely inorganic matter, no, spiritual body, simulating the process of living things!
The fluid snake that had grown in size quickly defeated its opponent, and once again smashed the opponent's core to pieces, instantly devouring it. The fluid snake absorbed the opponent's remaining fluid crystals and grew in size again.
Its size is almost the same as the giant fluid snake that Bediwell and the others first encountered!
"Wait... is that guy coming this way?" Bedivere couldn't help but ask when he saw the fluid snake slowly crawling towards where they were hiding.
"But there's no reason it can see...ah!!" Bereld suddenly realized it, and instantly drew his weapon and jumped out of the bunker: "Damn it, it can see it! This guy has evolved!"
That's right, after devouring the same kind, in this light environment, the fluid snake evolved eyeballs that can see things. This is the purpose of the three big snakes just devouring each other - the environment has changed,
These "creatures" are also eager to change to adapt to the environment.
That's why they eat each other and evolve in a way of preying on the weak.
------It is completely inorganic matter simulating the evolution process of living things!
The fluid snake's eyeballs, which are composed of thousands of crystals and resemble the compound eyes of insects, are currently staring at Bedivere and Bereld.
Its attention fell on the [wolf claw] on Bediwell's right arm.
