"Self-salvation? Ridiculous!"
The sound of a snake laughing could be heard in the watchman's mind.
"What did I do wrong? What do I need to redeem? Like all of you, I am just a member of the world. I am just doing what I should do. Why should I be deprived of my freedom by you? Imprisoned in this hellish place for eternity?"
"How do you think you're doing what you're supposed to do?"
The watchman frowned and said with some confusion: "You only know how to kill and create disasters. Wherever you natural disaster beasts pass by, the entire earth will flow into rivers of blood. Too many innocent creatures died tragically in your hands. Because Only in this way will other creatures hate you. This is the real reason why you are imprisoned here! If you don't change your nature and behavior, even if you escape this time, you will be captured again sooner or later in the future. captivity!"
"Other creatures? Innocent? Giggle..."
The snake laughed again.
"After all, don't you still regard me as an imaginary enemy from a 'biological' point of view? I am not imprisoned because of how 'innocent' you are, but because I have offended your interests!"
"You intelligent races always think that you are the masters of the world. In the name of 'survival', you can arbitrarily transform the world and make it more suitable for your survival. But have you ever thought about the world? In itself, you 'creatures' are the real cancer!"
"Creatures in the real world have no lifespan mechanism. All creatures can survive forever if there is sufficient food and no fighting. This will definitely lead to an increasing number of creatures in the world until they collapse. We have natural disasters The existence of beasts is to restrain the overflow of creatures, and to ensure that the number of creatures in the entire world is always maintained within a controllable range by regularly killing a large number of creatures. This is a necessary world balance mechanism!"
"And you intelligent races, whether you are the gods or you humans, are all equally selfish and greedy. You are so greedy that you want to reverse the world mechanism and make the whole world become your appendage. You even shamelessly involve 'protecting the world' name!"
"..."
For the first time, the watchman was speechless in the debate with Gu Shen.
Indeed, he has always looked at problems from a human perspective, but if you look at it from the perspective of the entire earth, humans are the worms. They are always trying to make themselves better off, and for this reason they have done many irreversible harm to the world. Transformation is the same as what the gods do to the real world.
"It's ridiculous! All of you are trying every possible means to imprison me, but you don't know that some snakes are destined not to be locked in a cage. Every one of its scales is covered with the glory of freedom! "Ji She's angry voice continued to come.
"Emmm, you remember your lines so clearly..." The watchman looked strange.
What pleased him was that Ju She had at least listened and thought carefully about his sermons over the years. He was certain that the middle snake four thousand years ago would never have been able to come up with such a logical and clear theory.
I just didn't expect that after thousands of years of preaching, I couldn't make it change its ways. Instead, I cultivated it into a 'philosophical snake' and really thought about the meaning of its own existence.
But now is not the time to consider such philosophical questions.
At this moment, the Dark Cave Beasts deposited in the underground cave have started moving again.
The originally peaceful Dark Cave Beasts suddenly seemed to sense something extremely terrifying, and scrambled to escape upwards. Like countless upside-down black waterfalls, they all began to climb up the surrounding mountain walls.
"Think of a way! The real body of the snake is hidden among them!" the watchman shouted hurriedly.
The others looked solemn. In fact, there was no need for the caller to explain. When the caller said that Ju She had escaped, combined with the gathering of cave beasts at the scene, they had already vaguely guessed the cause and effect.
"It's an incarnation made of snake skin!" The Djinn God said with an ugly face: "Shedding skin is a means of escape for snakes. This kind of incarnation can theoretically carry a very small part of the snake's power..."
But when the sealing gun is not damaged, Gu She should not be able to shed its skin, so he is not sure how Gu She does it now, but in short, Gu She is obviously planning to mix in these dark caves. Escape from the beast!
The only good news is that it seems that the snakes cannot directly control these dark cave beasts to fight, otherwise they would just have to let the dark cave beasts pounce on them, which would be enough for them to drink a pot.
It should have just temporarily used some method to attract the Dark Cave Beasts to collectively descend to the bottom of the cliff. Now it is activating the power of fear, forcing them to flee in fright, while it blends in and escapes.
"It must be stopped immediately!" the Djinn said hurriedly.
However, he could only say this sentence without beginning or end. The question is, how to stop it?
There were simply too many Dark Cave Beasts. The area at the bottom of the Dark Cave was already astonishingly large, and at this moment, the density of these dark creatures was so dense that it would make people dizzy just by looking at them.
Hundreds of thousands of Dark Cave Beasts, each one has no visible form, only a dark mass. Such creatures are entangled in layers, swallowing up almost all the light in the entire underground, trying to find the snake. The position is impossible, so how can we stop it?
"How about it, do you want to make a wish?" The genie looked at Mu You hurriedly.
Making a wish and relying on the power of miracles was the only way he could think of now.
"Can I directly make a wish to destroy the snake incarnation?" Mu You asked.
"How is that possible? What are you thinking?" The Djinn smiled bitterly: "Even if it is just an incarnation, it is an incarnation with a snake! The power of miracles has limits, especially when it comes to dealing with certain existences. It is extremely limited. , the creatures whose combat power exceeds mine are basically outside the scope of wishing."
"In short, it is impossible to deal with the opponent directly, but you can make a wish to kill other Dark Cave Beasts instantly. This will at least expose the location of the snake incarnation!" the genie said quickly.
"Is it just exposing its existence..."
Mu You suddenly hesitated.
There is only one last chance to make a wish for free. The first two were used to destroy an army of millions of undead, and the other was used to resurrect the dead people of the earth. They were both used in meaningful places, but now, they can only point out the snake. The location, no matter how you look at it, is overqualified.
The most important thing is, even if they find the location of the incarnation of the snake, can they stop the snake?
You must know that this is not an ordinary underground, but a dark cave, and there is boundless darkness above. As long as Gu Snake is not willing to fight and only concentrates on escaping, once they escape from the light and escape into the darkness, they will have almost no chance of finding Gu Snake again. Here Whether he makes a wish or not, the outcome seems to be determined...
"Don't worry, there's no need..."
Just when Mu You was struggling, the voice of the herb gatherer suddenly came from behind.
"Oh?" Mu You was about to turn around when he heard the watchman's exclamation from the other side: "Look over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a slender shadow suddenly showing under the feet of one of the densely packed Dark Cave Beasts on a distant mountain wall in the light.
These creatures born in dark caves are born with the ability to swallow light. They will automatically absorb all the light that shines on them, and naturally there will be no shadows.
This also applies to the snake skin of a snake. After all, this thing was also born in a dark cave and has the same light-devouring properties. Therefore, it is theoretically impossible to distinguish a snake by its shadow.
However, at this moment, a shadow appeared under the feet of a Dark Cave Beast.
Not only that, the shadow was still rapidly elongating and spreading, and in the blink of an eye it expanded into a circular shadow with a radius of several meters, with a large number of jagged edges, like an 'exploded' ball.
This familiar shape immediately reminded Muyou of something: Shadow Pom Pom!
The outline of this thing is exactly the same as the shadow pom-pom, but the size is dozens of times larger than the shadow pom-pom.
After the round shadow appeared, like the little yellow ball in Pac-Man, it opened its 'mouth', revealing two rows of jagged teeth, then closed it and swallowed the Dark Cave Beast connected above it.
"Roar!"
The moment it was swallowed, a roar suddenly came from high in the sky.
The next second, the shadow ball's just-closed mouth was forcibly opened by two dark hands from the inside, and then a black snake head emerged from the shadow, along with the snake neck and body behind it. ... They are all getting out little by little, as if they want to escape from the shadow.
However, when the black snake came out to the last tail, the stretched shadow closed again and bit the snake's tail firmly.
The black snake suddenly twisted and struggled violently on the rock wall. A large number of Dark Cave Beasts passing nearby were slapped down by it, and the rock wall was also cracked every inch.
But no matter how hard the black snake struggled, it was still unable to break away from the shadow behind it, and could only forcefully drag the shadow ball to move.
A few seconds later, as the black snake moved to the edge of the barrier illuminated by light, and was about to rush into the darkness, the shadow ball behind it suddenly seemed to be stuck by something, and it could no longer move forward even an inch. With it, the black snake The escape was also forced to stop.
When everyone looked down, it looked like an iron ball was tied to the tail of a snake. The snake wanted to drag the ball through the fence. The snake's body passed the fence, but the iron ball was stuck by the railing. No matter how hard the black snake struggled, it could not escape.
"This is……"
Mu You immediately looked back at the herb gatherer, and his intuition told him that all this was directly related to the evil clone.
"You'll understand once you take it."
The herb collector seemed to have expected Mu You to ask, so he threw the archiver in his hand over without saying anything.
Mu You subconsciously caught it.
The moment he took hold of the short metal rod, Mu You suddenly felt that there were many scattered memories in his mind.
He did not store the status in the archiver, but the herb collector did, and Mu You inherited his memory. With this touch, those memories hidden by the herb collector's magic were immediately revealed.
Mu You quickly digested this new memory, and then realized that the herb collector had noticed Ju Snake's little move of preparing to 'escape' from the very beginning.
But he didn't say anything because he was greedy: the herb collector realized that this might be an opportunity to capture the snake for his own use!
As we all know, Gu Shen's body is too powerful. Even top gods such as the God of Order and the God of Chaos have to bring a group of subordinates to force them to retreat. Wanting to conquer Gu Shen is simply wishful thinking.
Precisely because of this, no one in history has ever dared to take advantage of a natural disaster beast. It is too late to hide from such a thing.
But now, after being imprisoned for a long time, the snake began to yearn for freedom and prepared to use the property of shedding its skin to create an avatar to escape from prison.
The power of the incarnation is naturally far inferior to that of the snake itself, but it is precisely because of this that it is possible to conquer it.
The skin shed by the snake, before the will is transferred, is dead skin without feeling. Because it is close to the surface of the snake and integrated with the snake's body, it is difficult to detect without careful observation.
The herb collector also discovered the snake's small movements by chance.
After that, he immediately made a plan, asked Linglong for the shadow pom-poms, and then moved the shadow pom-poms under the dead skin without anyone noticing. Using the ability of the shadow pom-poms to cut and devour shadows, he began to eat them bit by bit. The shadow of that piece of snake skin allows the shadow pom-pom to grow rapidly by absorbing the power of the snake.
Whenever a snake sheds a trace of its scales, the shadow ball immediately swallows the shadow of the snake scales. Over time, its breath has completely integrated with the snake scales. Even without the cover of the herbal collector, it can still magically Move unnoticed under the snake's skin without being noticed by the snake.
However, the whole thing must be carried out carefully, so that neither Gu Snake nor the watchman Linglong and the others can detect it.
Firstly, it is because this is an extremely bold plan. The prerequisite for capturing Gu Snake is to first let Gu Snake complete its "prison escape" plan and let its incarnation successfully escape from trouble.
And in this process, if something goes wrong and the shadow pom-pom fails to be captured, allowing the snake to escape and ascend to heaven, then it will be considered a complete escape, and the consequences will be inestimable.
Given their personalities, neither Dagguan nor Linglong would agree to this kind of thing. If he told them, they would sabotage his actions.
Secondly, the snake is extremely sensitive to the emotions of intelligent creatures, especially when the snake is concentrated. As long as you stand near the snake and have evil thoughts about capturing him flashing through your mind, it will be noticed immediately! Then the whole plan will still come to nothing.
For this reason, not only does the herb gatherer need to keep this matter a secret from everyone, but even he himself must use a forgetting spell to forget all memories about capturing snakes every time before coming underground, and then use the archiver to restore it later. Memory, and then continue to secretly control the shadow ball to digest the snake's shadow.
The reason why the herb collector became more and more silent and withdrawn was precisely because this incident brought too much pressure and required extreme confidentiality. He could not reveal a word or reveal any flaws. For this reason, he could only Only by pretending to be an obsessive lunatic who devoted himself wholeheartedly to potions would he appear more natural.
In this way, during the next four thousand years, when Ju She was carefully and secretly planning to escape from prison, it did not know that its actions had already been seen through by others, and that there were also people who were using its plan in reverse to secretly plan a bigger conspiracy. conspiracy……
"This is too risky..."
Quickly sorting out these memories, Mu You suddenly looked at the herb picker with sweat on his forehead, but in his mind, he remembered what Linglong had said to him before: "Real greed is to ignore risks and pursue things that are not available! "
Now, Mu You has a real understanding of this sentence.
There is no doubt that the characteristic of greed lies in the herb collector, but his greed is not Linglong's petty trick of taking advantage, but real greed - he actually tried to use four thousand years to , subdue a natural disaster beast for your own use!
This kind of thing is something that even the Demon God of the past would not dare to imagine...
Sure enough, the moment Mu You recovered this part of his memory, the part related to 'greed' in the Demon God's Bone fell silent for an instant, digesting it more thoroughly and quickly than the previous five personalities.
