"These white cocoons...are there people who have received the gift ceremony?" Lu Ping's eyes widened.
From the moment he first came to this world, Lupine realized that this was not a future world with normal human technological development, because many magical and strange things could be seen everywhere, such as spider webs hanging between skyscrapers and hellfire bats flying all over the sky.
These giant white cocoons with a diameter of several meters are also very common. Some are hanging on the surfaces of high-rise buildings, some on street corners, and some in parks...
It swells and shrinks from time to time, and the surface swells irregularly, as if there is something alive inside.
Previously Lupine had thought it was some kind of hatching hell monster.
But he didn't expect that he was the immortal who received the gift?
"If you spend enough money, you can get a gift from the God Lord Arachne. The specific process is that those who have qualified for the gift ceremony will bring the 'tribute' into the God Lord's lair, and be swallowed by Arachne, and then she will use her eggs to It is excreted in a certain form, and after drying, it turns into this white cocoon." The wolf girl explained.
"Arachne can ovulate wherever she wants. This city is her territory. She can naturally lay eggs wherever she wants." The mecha girl Sakura took over, "After a while, the white cocoon will It will rupture naturally, which can take at least a few days or at most a few months. At that time, the ceremony will be completed successfully...
As for whether the people inside are transformed successfully and become perfect undead, or whether the transformation fails and lose their memory and become undead with sequelae, it depends on luck. "
"So as long as I break this white cocoon in front of me, it will be considered as destroying Arachne's gift ceremony?" Lupine asked.
"Bingo, that's right." The young man with the tattooed Afro snapped his fingers, "This is your test. We won't help unless it's dangerous. But the cocoon in front of you was carefully selected by us. It should be just a The undead being transformed for the first time.”
"The first transformation?" Lu Ping caught his wording and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can the gifting ceremony be accepted many more times?"
"Well, according to the legend, it can be up to nine times." Wolf Girl Laila nodded, "The essence of the gift ceremony is to allow people to obtain a trace of the power of the god. The more times you receive the gift, the more inhuman and powerful it becomes, and the body's regeneration ability will also increase. The stronger!
The spider undead woman we dealt with last time should be an undead who has undergone two transformations... Every gifting ceremony is risky. The more times you undergo transformations, the easier it is to lose yourself. Therefore, the common undead are all below level three. "
Lupine wanted to ask something else, but the transport plane began to circle and finally slowly landed on the "ground".
The hatch opened, and Lu Ping saw that this was a large square in the sky...Using different buildings as support pillars, such huge platforms that imitated land would be built in some places in the foggy area.
There are 3D projected artificial flowers and trees in the square, walking paths, and fountain pools. The latter is actually real. The white cocoon with a diameter of more than three meters is in a fountain pool, and the goddess stone holding a clay pot next to it. The statue is about the same height, and its base is immersed in shallow water.
"Break it. When the time comes, the broken cocoon will release some soul-level cobweb debris and stick to your soul. In this way, all the undead who see you in the future will know that you have committed blasphemy against the God Lord Arachne. matter."
"Ordinary undead will be wary of you, and Arachne's dependents - those spider undead will regard you as their mortal enemy." Laila took two steps back and stared at Lupin, "Ox Demon, you regret it now. There’s enough time.”
"What do you regret?" Lu Ping took a deep breath and strode towards Bai Cocoon, "Since I want to join Starfire, I have to stand on the opposite side of them... Having this additional identity is no problem."
Zhila!
He directly pointed his fingers together like a knife, thrust forward, and his fingertips directly penetrated the white cocoon!
Then he grabbed the crack in front of him with both hands, gritted his teeth and suddenly tore the crack open to both sides, forming a narrow opening more than two meters long!
A lot of viscous liquid flowed out of it and poured into the fountain pool below...
Lu Ping carefully felt the feeling of the so-called "soul-level cobweb debris" falling on his body, but he didn't feel anything unusual.
"I can't feel it, but those undead who have withdrawn souls can see...that is to say, they can see a person directly from the soul level. It's no wonder that no matter what form I loaded before, or the genetic disguise , those undead can still recognize me as the same person at a glance." Lu Ping thought to himself.
White cocoon center.
An old man with short hair and no clothes on his body slowly opened his eyes, full of disbelief, pointed at Lu Ping and trembled: "You, you interrupted my gift ceremony?"
The disbelief quickly turned into anger, and his face turned ferocious: "Damn, damn, damn! Do you know how much I paid to get this spot? Do you know how much I spent on various preparations, you bastard... …”
As he spoke, his body began to swell and grow taller, turning into a lanky monster two meters tall.
A jet-black spider leg also emerged from his back.
It was exactly the same as the spider's saber leg emerging from Qi Jing's back, but there was only one.
But Lu Ping ignored him, but stared blankly at other things in the white cocoon.
The old man's body was surrounded by white human mummies. Looking at the size and shape of the skeletons, there were burly and rugged men, petite women, and even children less than one meter tall...
"What is that..." Lupine asked the wolf girl and others behind him in a low voice.
"I told you before, the gift ceremony is for the recipient to be swallowed by Arachne along with the tribute, thereby transforming." Laila sighed, "These are the tributes."
Lupine's pupils shrank.
"You fight to the death!" the old man roared and rushed towards Lupine.
But as soon as he took two steps, he saw clearly the humanoid mecha behind Lupine, the wolf girl with metal claws, and the tattooed young man with an afro riding on the cool motorcycle.
The whole person suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
"A paranormal organization of ordinary humans?"
The old man's face was twisted, as if full of unwillingness, but he still turned around suddenly and ran away, "Wait! Ahhhhh, wait!"
"Wait? Why wait?" A low, slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the back of his head, as if he was whispering close at hand, "What grudges are there? Can't we settle them on the spot today?"
A huge hand that was not as thick as a human directly grabbed the knife foot behind the old man's back.
Click!
Just break it off!
The old man looked up to the sky and cried out in pain.
After receiving the gift for the first time and being interrupted midway, he obviously didn't know how to fight, but he obviously knew the characteristics of the undead... so he rolled and crawled away and ran away. The broken blade leg on his back began to slow down. A section of gray connective tissue slowly extended.
At the same time, he turned around and saw the huge three-meter-two monster.
"What kind of monster is this!"
"By the way, poison, I can also use poison. Lord Arachne's ability is poisonous..."
"Give me a little time! Just a little time, I can grow the sword feet again! Give me a little time!" The old man roared in his heart.
