Chapter 3360 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Sixty-Three)
At the same time (?), on the seventh floor of the underground labyrinth of Atlantis, in the lava world.
"Big, everyone move forward carefully and pay attention to things that may emerge from the lava." Elaine was wearing sunglasses and driving a cavalry behind.
In front were the iron cavalry driven by Queeg, and Edmund, who had transformed into a stalker, releasing ice mist to prevent the team from falling into the scorching heat of the lava world. The moisture in the air in this place is very scarce, but fortunately they replenished it.
If you bring enough food, you can use the non-drinking water you bring to make up for the lack of moisture in the air.
In fact, Edmund was holding the Luna Silicone Cube filled with the bath water they had used before (which had been filtered and purified) while gently squeezing it. The almost endless water overflowing from the cube was immediately transformed by the spell.
It turned into water mist or even ice mist, spreading around and surrounding Elaine and his party.
The ice mist did not spread out, naturally because the protective shields of the two iron cavalry merged together. It turned into a huge oval, like a goose egg shape, covering the two iron cavalry. This invisible goose egg-shaped shell
It successfully trapped the surrounding ice and fog, allowing the passengers on the two iron bikes to enjoy an experience similar to turning on the air conditioner in a confined space.
Precisely because the low-temperature ice mist somewhat neutralizes the scorching heat of the lava world, everyone's lungs will not be hurt by the heat here. But the heat is still slightly hot.
The heat generated by the surrounding lava is far beyond being offset by the coolness of the ice mist, so everyone inside will still feel hot. This hot and humid feeling is like a tropical rainforest in summer, making people sweat all over their bodies. But it is still better than outside.
Dry searing is better.
Although heat protection countermeasures have been relatively perfect, they still come at a cost.
The price is that the surrounding visibility is greatly reduced. The ice fog not only blocks the field of vision, but also reflects the hot red light of the lava, causing everyone to be surrounded by a faint fiery red. This color is both dazzling and ominous.
Just like how easy it is to get snow blindness in ice and snow areas, strong light is very harmful to the long-term irritation of the eyes. What's more, this is not the white light on the snow, but the red light that is more harsh on the eyes. Just staring at it for a few seconds will make your eyes irritated.
It has become unbearable.
The group had to wear spare sunglasses to protect against this red fog. However, doing so would make their vision worse. If the enemy suddenly attacked, they would be in great danger.
Elaine kind of wants to transform into the form of a human boy and use that "photon radar" to detect the surrounding environment. That is definitely much clearer than seeing it with the naked eye, right?
But Daniel had warned him before not to use so many transformations in a row. Each transformation would put a burden on Elaine's [Absolute Domain], which was equivalent to tearing apart his already broken soul. If this continues, Elaine will
Your body will soon be unable to hold it any longer.
The collapse of the absolute realm means the collapse of the body. When the biological barrier called the realm can no longer maintain Elaine's "human" appearance, he will not only lose his sense of taste and vision, he will directly turn into a human being.
A blur of flesh and blood.
If you can avoid using transformation, try not to use transformation. So far, this has become Elaine's secret rule. But it also means that his next adventure will become more and more difficult. Just relying on a white lion
It is difficult for a young man to survive the many obstacles in front of him after his transformation.
However, it won’t work if you don’t do it.
Take risks and walk on the edge of a knife. Then try to push everything to the limit. Use the most difficult methods to overcome the most deadly dangers. There is no other way. If he wants to continue to move forward and achieve his goal, he must not
Fall here - whether by the enemy's hands or by the collapse of your soul.
The surroundings were quiet and there was no movement.
The cavalry's concealment system plays a certain role in preventing the enemy from being immediately alerted.
Elaine only hoped that the monsters living here would not discover their group so quickly. Although this large "air bubble" slowly moving on the road out of thin air was actually very unnatural.
By the way, the ice mist spreads inside the armor of the Iron Cavalry, reflecting the red light. Even the stealth system cannot completely cover up this light. The optical camouflage is nothing more than distorting the surrounding air to make the Iron Cavalry less easily detectable.
.But the air inside the cavalry is transmitting light, and the concealment system's ability to distort the air is powerless against this light transmission.
If there were really enemies observing outside, they might see an unnatural "air bubble" with a little light, moving slowly on the road.
Isn't this too obvious...
Fortunately, the light of the surrounding lava is also very dazzling. Perhaps the light inside the air bubble is not so conspicuous and is partly covered by the light of the lava.
Elaine just hopes so.
"Isn't it here yet?" The white lion boy lowered his voice and asked the Hayato boy behind him: "You, where is the water circulation system you mentioned?"
"I don't know, and I haven't been there myself." Xuri replied, "I overheard the news from the chats of the Art people. They will not let me enter this level. What's more,
I don't know magic, so I won't be able to help you get water."
"Stealing, eavesdropping...?" The sweat on Elaine's forehead became even more.
"They think my hearing is similar to theirs. In fact, the birdmen's hearing is very sensitive, and they can easily hear their whispers."
Information I don’t know."
"He, have they ever talked about your life experience?" Elaine asked curiously: "Well, the whole Atlantis is so big, are you really the only birdman?"
"I've never heard them mention this." Xuri shook his head: "I used the ability of the bird people to turn into an egg, and I have been reincarnated at least a dozen times, which means that I should have been a person from thousands of years ago.
Why I appeared in Atlantis and why they took me in were all things that happened thousands of years ago. The knowledge of the Atlantis was passed down orally, and the records of those less important events thousands of years ago may have been long ago.
It’s lost."
"You lose all your memories every time you reincarnate, but you remember the number of times you were reincarnated?" Bailey asked.
"Ah, yes. All memories will be completely erased due to reincarnation. Every time I emerge from the shell again, I am as clueless as a newborn baby. But strangely, I just roughly remember how many times I have been reincarnated.
Times. The number is not precise, just approximate. But maybe, that is the effect of the genetic memory engraved in my genes. Each reincarnation adds a stroke to my genes, allowing me to remember the number of times I have been reincarnated."
"That, that's awesome." Elaine exclaimed: "Yes, if we can use a similar method to engrave more memories into genes, then it will really be immortality in a certain sense?"
"It's impossible. The information that genetic genes can record is also limited." Zuoli said, "If you want to record all the huge memories accumulated in your life, how many genes should be rewritten?"
"Oh." Elaine groaned.
He has also heard that spiders know how to weave webs as soon as they are born, and migratory birds know how to migrate with the seasons without being taught. Some memories as important as knowledge can be engraved into their own genes by organisms, allowing them to
Your offspring know how to do it right after they are born, and it becomes their innate talent. However, these talents cannot be too complicated in any case, and the capacity of genetic memory is also limited.
Xuri's genetic memory is probably to the extent that a small number is re-engraved on a fragment of a certain gene every time he is reincarnated, so as to "remember" how many times he has been reincarnated.
This is actually not a great ability. It is even a bit useless...
If he could engrave all the knowledge he learned in his previous life into his genes and accumulate a huge amount of knowledge over several or more than a dozen lifetimes, that would be truly amazing. But his genetic memory capacity cannot be used.
Zuoli continued: "The lifespan of the bird people is about a hundred years. Assuming that I am reincarnated every time when I am close to old age and death, the more than ten reincarnations are exactly a thousand years. The things that happened a thousand years ago are too ancient anyway, even the group of Atts
People don’t remember it anymore. But it seems that it was because their miko-sama said they would take care of me, so they have always obeyed the miko-sama’s orders and allowed me to live until now. I should at least be grateful for this...
Right?"
"Yes, it should be..." the white lion boy agreed.
"But sometimes I can't help but have some dark thoughts, thinking that it was the Yat people who abducted me here as a child thousands of years ago. They knew that I could be reincarnated again and again, so they made me their slave for thousands of years." Zuoli sighed.
Said: "Isn't this statement...a bit scary?"
"The possibility is not high." Bailey said: "So what if you can be reincarnated. You are not important enough for them to kidnap you here and make you their eternal slave. And... they don't seem to be short of labor.
?"
After all, it was a primitive society. Moreover, the Yat people seemed to have no worries about food and drink. They still lived in the city left by their ancestors and had no worries about accommodation.
"That's right." Young Hayato was persuaded: "I won't think about this issue too much. Anyway, I have parted ways with them, so I won't pursue too much about the past matters."
Elaine didn't speak. Until now, he still couldn't completely believe Xuri. He always felt that the young Hayato was the eyes and ears sent by the stalkers to monitor their group. How could Xuri betray the stalkers who raised him so easily?
, and who can be sure that he will not simply betray Elaine and his party? Can this child really be believed?
At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the lava in the distance. Elaine heard the sound and looked over, but his reaction ability was far unable to catch up with the speed of the movement. He could only vaguely see something suddenly
It sprang out of the lava, streaking across like an arc of fire, and then instantly disappeared inside the lava, disappearing without a trace.
"Just now, did you see it just now?" Elaine asked in surprise.
"I saw it." Edmund replied: "But it was so fast. I couldn't see anything clearly, only an arc of fire."
Sure enough, the situation was the same in Edmund.
"It's the Holander shrimp," Zuoli replied, "Holander is the dialect of the At people, which means [arc of fire on the sun]. They live in the lava, move very fast, and almost no one sees them." past their true nature."
"Prominences," Bailey corrected.
"Prominence?"
"The arc of fire that you are talking about, the scientific name for the dancing arc on the sun is called a prominence. If the sun is compared to a big fireball, the solar prominence is the tongue of fire that is constantly beating on the fireball. It is actually a very complex astronomical phenomenon, and electromagnetic It’s related to the activity.” Bailey explained: “So translated, this shrimp should be called [Prominence Shrimp]?”
Sure enough, the enemies here are all fish, shrimps, and crabs. Very good, this is very Atlantean. Elaine complained in her heart. Of course, there are also spiders and worms. Evil.
Why do the Atites, who have never seen the sun, know what the sun looks like and that there are prominences on the sun?
Probably their miko told them this knowledge.
Regardless of this, the prominence shrimp looks very bad anyway. Its speed is too fast. If that kind of thing attacks at a speed that can hardly be caught by the naked eye, Elaine and his party will have a narrow escape!
What should I do...?
"Your Highness, be careful! There is movement in the direction of two o'clock!" Edmund exclaimed.
Elaine hurriedly looked in the direction Edmund was pointing, only to find that an arc of fire was hitting him at high speed!
